I keep on repeatedly getting an error with After Effects that states:
After Effects warning: Unable to set clip. GDI Status: "GenericError"
It happens to me every day, usually over my lunch hour I switch my screens off. If After Effects is running, when I return and try to RAM Preview, AE will load in to RAM as much as it can, usually playing back once before this error pops up. If I hit ok, the same error then pops up repeatedly, and it will not go away giving me no chance to save my work. I have to use the Task Manager to be able to quit AE.
As I've got two monitors plugged in to two PCs, it also happens when I switch PCs then switch back to the one running AE.
Can Adobe fix this please? Or at least make it so that the error message doesn't keep coming up when I press OK in an endless cycle of doom?
Here is the solution: it is an audio hardware problem. That's why the message pops up when you hit play, until then no audio output is needed.
Try changing the audio hardware default output to something else. It may be using a device that it's not present right now, like Bluetooth headphones which is my case, or some DVI audio output from a graphic card.
