AE CSS Crashed on exportwith Vista

[Ron Coy]

you don’t render clips in the render queue, you render comps. Drag the clip or other elements you want to use to the new comp icon in the project window, then instead of export, hit CTRL M to “make movie” which adds the comp to the render queue.

then you can render stuff out.

you might want to go to https://www.videocopilot.net/basic/ and go through the basic training tutorials. This should get you familiar with the interface and conventions of After Effects.

Sorry, i wasnt very specific I ment comp, not clip. I have never had a problem rendering a comp by going to File>Export>QuicktimeMovie. I am using H.264 codec. It always gets hung up on the frame right before the last and crashes. I am also able to drag the comp to the render que. but when i press the render button it tells me I need to put somthing in the render que to render, so it is not recognizing the comp is there for some reason.

I have also heard the same thing. I figured if I can get it to at least start the render somthing must be right. I find it odd that it will render in a different format other then Quicktime H.264 As i am typing this I am searching the Adobe forums with no luck. The three issues I have could be a compatability issue but I havnt seen these issues anywhere on this forum or adobe’s forum. I did get a 30 sec comp to render by rendering parts of it at a time, but that sucked.

[John Dusek]

There must be sombody out there that has had these issues.

ok. If i use the Ctrl/m command i can get the comp to render to AVI. From there i took the AVI file into AE and created a new comp. With that comp I was able to Eport to Quicktime Movie at H.264 comprsession and render it. Before I was able to just render my comp by either draging into the que and hitting the render button or go to file – export – quicktime movie – save. I wish i knew the reasons I have to go through so many steps now that I use Vista and quad core processing. I used XP and a pentium 4 before this and because of all the new steps I have to take, it takes almost the same amout of time. I am still having a wheel mouse problem as well.

Hello John,

I’m running on Vista Ultimate, I dont think there are much differences. I’m running Adobe After Effects cs3, with the Adobe update for After Effects. I can export Quicktime files with no problems.

Which variety of Quicktime compression are you exporting with such as compressor, frame rate, aspect ratio, audio settings. I’ll try it here as a test.

Have you also updated all your chipset drivers, graphics cards, and run Windows udpates to get the latest drivers and fixs?

Are you working with OPEN GL switched on in your composition window? It will say OPRN GL if it is.

Thanks,

Leo

Hi Leo. Seems i can export to anything quicktime except:
Compression: H.264
Quality: Best
Key frame rate: 24
Frame reordering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 1280×720

I do have OpenGL on and also multiprocessing.
I really appreciate a test.

Hello John,

I’m going to check this again in After Effects, as I could not find these settings to alter.

Frame reordering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass

Thanks,

Leo

Hello John,

Okay I found the export to Quicktime you were using. Alright, I am getting a crash half way while rendering saying After Effects has stopped working. I am using your settings. If I export say a HD Quicktime or SD its fine just seems to crash with the h264 Quicktime.

It’s very frustrating as I am not sure what could be causing this. Might mean us both going back to Windows XP, as not sure if it’s a bug with Vista or Adobe or both.

Thanks,

Leo
