Adobe After Effects error: overflow converting ratio denominators

[Ryan Hummel]

im missing half of my clip how do i get it all there?

Same problem here with cs6. The clip I needed to edit was shot by screen capture software.

for some reason after effects read 17.999 fps, while premiere reads 18. Changing frame rate to 18 in AE through interpret footage does not do the trick as last 10 minutes of the video just go missing.

Solution for me was to use premiere – import graphics from AE into premiere and export from there. That way everything worked fine.

This thread was a huge help with this problem, which still happens in cs5.5. I wound up fixing it by changing the interpretation on the footage itself. Weird thing is, I didn’t actually change the framerate. I only changed the interpreting option from “Use Frame Rate From File” to “Conform to Frame Rate” and even though it was the same weird number the problem was solved!

I have the same problem working in CS6.

What I did was open a new project from zero. Then I put the previous project (the one with the problem) inside the new one. AE showed all the errors but eventually I could open the project, remove all the things AE says wich was with problems and got back to work.

It was kinda troubled, but since I wasn’t even able to open the project, this “solution” has saved me plenty of time.

Hope it helps someone else.

I just had the same problem with cc2015, and I found a fix.

After effects doesn’t recognize the format of the camera I used, so I converted my footage in mp4 first, using a (free) software called handbrake.

From premiere pro, I used right click > Replace with After Effects Composition, and I had the problem.

But then I changed the encoding settings in Handbrake: instead of converting with the default “Variable Framerate” setting, I reencoded the footage using the “Constant Framerate” setting, and then I can do the right click from premiere pro and after effects doesn’t complain anymore.

That can solve problems in some case, but sometimes you have to work with the full file. Even if you convert to MP4 in high bitrates, that’ll generate large files, they’re still be compressed files. It’s a solution, but the way I see, not an ideal one.

Hi, just run into this problem too.

I was copying my premiere pro sequence content to after effects and had this error. Only some of the clips were perfectly copied. After reading this thread I realize that I must have altered some of the clips in the sequence.

The solution was actually really simple, I then removed all my premiere pro effects in the clips that have them (i was using crop and motion). Now I can copy the all the clips from the sequence perfectly!

Thanks for helping me reach this conclusion!
