after effects error: photoshop file format — out of memory (-108)
I have been getting this message lately. Today was the first day that it started happening during renders. The error causes the render to fail. My project is pretty large but I use only jpg, png, avi, wav files. I have plenty of drive space and I am running the program on a different drive than I am storing the data.
Someone else listed a problem on this forum with this same error but they spoke of a tif file causing it. Could anyone give insight to the solution? Thanks so much, Becca -

Yo!
Yeah that was me. Pain in the arse. maybe it’s something to do with moon states?
It’s happeing with both TIFF and JPEGS for me, and i also tried importing a 200 frame sequence and the same thing happened after 73 frames of rendering so it leads me to think it’s not a memory problem really.

To what file format are you outputting? Do all your image and video files show up fine in other tools(image viewers, Mediaplayer)?

Yeah everything looks fine in other apps.
Im using premier to compile the image sequence into an MPG for the client uing the Adobe Media Encoder presets for PAL. All looks fine, no problems at all. Importing the exact same TIFF sequence in AE and then trying to export it after i’ve added things (like the flock of birds) crashes with the above error.
I’ve also tried the same thing with some JPEGS that also look fine, and open fine, in everythign else.
Very strange. Im going to invest (more money…. BA!!!) in the lastest versions of the software and see if that helps.

Try this:
Open AE.
Hold down the shift key.
In the menus click on AFTER EFFETCS >> PREFERENCES >> GENERAL and release the mouse button.
Now release the shift key.
At the bottom of your preference pulldown menu there is a new section called ‘secret’ select this.
Where it says “Purge every XX frames during make movie” enter 50.
**Don’t click on anything else in this panel !!!**Now try your render.
Good Luck, P.S. the shift key is applicable to AE7, I can’t remember the key combination to access the secret menu in pre-AE7 versions, but it is something very similar.

Hi, I originally posted this question and I thought after words that I had solved it. I reallized that I had open in the comp viewer a jpeg that was very huge and while doing other things (either moving around in the comp or switching comp windows or rendering)that error would appear. So it seemed like if I closed that comp viewer, the error would stop BUT now I have a different error. This one happens now every time I try to render my entire movie. It also happens at the exact same spot everytime and previously never had before. This error reads: “After Effects error:attempt to get a value from a time stream with no key values. 29::36”
