  camera parent zero scale error. cant quit

  Posted by Spencer Dukes on April 24, 2013 at 8:38 am

  hi everyone,
  I was working on a project with a camera parented to a null object. while I was moving the null’s scale, an error popped up saying…”cannot render because camera’s parent has zero scale”. Every time I hit ok it just pops up again. I’ve tried quitting after effects every different way and it won’t let me. it had just frozen the whole thing. I can still click on quit but nothing happens the error just keeps popping up. I don’t know what to do. It’s just stuck! please help

  Sounds like force quit is your only option- be sure to submit this as a bug to Adobe

  [spencer dukes] “cannot render because camera’s parent has zero scale”

  Does it continue to happen if you have CAPS LOCK on to disable rendering?

  Know this is old post, but incase some one is looking for the same answers.

  Press escape in the null if parents scale somehow was set to zero. On null driving camera that is. The change scale higher than zero.

  Rendering can then recommence.
  Hope this is helpful. Just had the same troubles myself.

  Cheers
  Andre
