(in the future, on adobe.com ae = after effects.  use ame for media encoder)

 

i googled that exact error and google could find no matches.  that makes me wonder if you have an ame or animate problem.

 

to test.  create another simple animate animation (just a few frames with one object) and export video to ame.  see if you get the same error.

this can usually be circumvented by adjusting ame settings. 

 

if you can't figure it out, embed (using the insert photo icon) a screenshot of the error.

Not all formats have transparency, but on the Animate end of things you will want to check the box that says to ignore the stage color and create alpha channel.

Got this same error but aparently for another reason. After a sucessfull export, if I try to do it again but leaving the filename unchanged (eg. exported.mp4) my media encoder crashes. Have to either delete the previous file or set a different name before exporting.
