after effects bug After Effects error: could not create 1920 x 1080 image buffer. (7 :: 39)
I’m having a serious problem with
AEF 7.0using HDCAM and long compositions… like 50.000 to 120.000 frames in 1920×1080 the rendering bugs after around 10.000 to 20.000 frames giving this message:
After Effects error: could not create 1920 x 1080 image buffer. (7 :: 39)
I have 2gb of memory, I have tried to resolve the prob with the “secret” memory option, etc etc…
I tried it on many different PCs…. and noway.
It was allready doing that in vers 5.5 with win 2K….
this is an old prob that is really a big pain.Does anybody had allready the prob and the solution?
Thanks.
(I’m running actually on a 2 processors AMD opteron 275 with 2gb of memory and 4gb of cache disk win XP.)

You could be crashing if you’re hitting the file size limit in FAT. Did you try segmenting movie files in the output preferences? Then you could reassemble in your NLE, which you have to do anyway to go out to tape.

ah, that old chestnut, …I share your pain, …its even worse when doing 2K film comps in floating point. It’s to do with how After Effects buffers whole layers into memory rather than using a scanline renderer like other packages (such as Shake).
There is a solution I came across just the other day (haven’t actually had time to give it a go, but looks pretty reasonable). Here’s the link (it describes what is happening and ways to try and get things to work).

Thanks guys, it is good to know that I’m not the only one in the world encountering this problem….as were the support of Adobe telling me……
Now I’ll continue my pain and continu to render my comp in small pieces…
I’ll also try your link and see if it does something…
Or maybe the best I may switch of software….for Shake.Sincerely

Its bad that Adobe support were making you feel like you’re the only one with this problem, because you most certainly aren’t, …we have had nothing but headaches with this ourselves (to be fair it does tend to depend on the hardware it’s running on, …at the facility I was last working at our workstations would always choke on rendering locally, yet if we through it onto the farm those machines always seemed to be sweet (I have no idea what the difference in specs is). I have had this issue a lot on other systems (including my home one) and it has been reported to Adobe. I have put in a feature request for the next version of AE to have the choice of rendering frame buffered (as present) or allow you to switch to scanline if required (…which tends to be slower rendering, but allows you to render high-rez on a very low spec system).
Check out the above page though, as the settings it talks about might just sort out your problems.
Goodluck and let us know how you go!
