Problem rendering CC particle world

[charisseyeh]

Hi,

I recently tried making a short clip of a girl meeting a fairy with looping particles. However, the particles will not render when I put two layers on top of each other. I tried rendering the video without the particle effects and everything else was working fine. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem?

Here are the screens for my particles:

Hello,

Did you get the specific error message from After Effects?

[Rick Gerard]

Select a layer with the particle effect applied and press the U key twice so you can see all modified properties. Solo that layer. If the particles show up the way they are supposed to then there is nothing wrong with that layer, the problem lies somewhere else in your comp. If the particles don't show up then try turning off the other effects you have applied one at a time. If the failure only happens on rendering then try rendering with only one particle layer selected until you find the problem.

The only thing we can easily see in your screenshot is that the selected layer has four effects applied. We have no way of knowing what the settings are or what may be causing the problem. The most likely cause of a failed render is running out of resources. Your render is failing at one second so if fixing the comp and getting a successful Ram Preview doesn't get you a good render then you might try rendering to one of the image sequence presets or choosing another of the presets in the output module. Don't go customizing render settings unless you really know what you are doing.
