AE not rendering final comp.
Using AE 6.5, I try to render a final composition. It doesnt render any video, i end up getting a file which is about 2 seconds long, and nothing but black screen. The video I’m rendering is only about 20 seconds long. When I try a RAM preview, it says there are no frames to preview, and the render log says this:

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it’s for a project I’m trying to complete. Thanks!

Im not sure if im seeing the problem, but its the only thing i can think of in your case.
-Your work area is to short
it looks like your work area is set to a to short area:
Time Span: Work Area
Start: 0:00:00:00
End: 0:00:00:00After Effects renders only the work area.
And also after effects need more than 2 frames to render; in your case there are less than 2 frames.To solve the Problem extend your work area by click&drag the end and start of the work area to your end and start for your comp. You can also go to the first frame and hit “B” and then go to the last frame and hit “N”. Then you should be able to see the full video after rendering.
