  why will a comp render in media encoder and not AE6

  Posted by Tom Edwards on January 29, 2013 at 6:15 am

  i’m using AE6 (v: 11.0.2.12).
  i’m rendering a :30 comp in AE but it stops every time at frame 369 (12:09)
  preset HD/HDTV 720 29.97
  frame rate 29.97

  i’ve tried rendering to png sequence, avi. flv and mov.
  AE isn’t freezing or anything like that — it just stops the render at that point.

  per instructions in another post, i rendered it in media encoder — and viola! it worked.

  any ideas why?

  Is your work area set to just a subset of your composition?

  In After Effects, you can set a specific duration to be rendered. This specific duration is the work area. Is your work area set to the whole composition, or just to a piece of it?
