AE render error: the layer exceeds maximum size

[markmelnik]

Hi, can someone help me to solve render problem in AE 2020? Need to render project as png sequence, but have a problem with this popup error window:

PS: I can't render not only in PNG sequence, but even as a normal video(

What are the sizes of your Composition(s) and Layers and have you applied any effects (which effects)?

[markmelnik]

I have 3840х2166 comp for 3d mapping with lots of layers and effects.

Which effects??

How much RAM does your system have and how much of this has been assigned to AE, in AE's Prefs Dialog?

Well, I can say that I solved this problem by turn off the RepeTile effect. I don't know why, but it worked for me.

I have Intel i7 7700HQ + 16GB RAM, 15 of it for AE

Thanks for reporting back. When time permits and this is important, instead of disabling the effect, you may want to look at tweaking values such that the effect still works,but without throwing up a memory error.

Im pretty sure that CC RepeTile's values can only be set up to a maximum of 20,000.  This is the most likely culprit.

turning off RepeTiles worked for me
