After Effects CS6 Render Error
When I try to render out a clip as a quicktime format with the h.264 codec it instantly fails saying:
“after effects error: rendering error while writing file to “blah blah blah” An output module failed. the file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)”
I heard about quicktime being the problem and that you should try an earlier version of quicktime however i have tried, 7.6.6, 7.04 and version 6.(can’t remember the rest of the numbers but after effects didn’t even recognize it, saying i need to install quicktime). Could someone please inform me of a version of quicktime which allows me to render compositions out in quicktime format with h.264 codec(solving my problem) or just any other solutions to the problem.
Thanks -

I just finished rendering a H264 out of CS6 and I have QT 7.6.9.
What are your system specs- os and all?Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

i’m running windows 7 with 8gb ram. i should make it clear i’m trying to render my composition with the quicktime format (.mov)and i have tried many of the codecs (h.264 etc) and they all don’t work so i believe the problem lies with quicktime rather than the codec/h.264 part.

I ran into the same problem and solved it by making more available space on my drives. One of the drives was almost full, and by leaving at least 100GB of space I was able to render out stuff without a problem. Hope that helps!

I had the same problem and it was a codec issue. I took all my codecs out of my quicktime library folder and then manually put them back until I found the bad one. Takes some time but it solved the problem.

hi, can you please in detail descibe how you manages to get this bad library out ?
am facing this issue and i can’t render any video !

If you try and open quicktime 7 does it crash? If it does I just removed all my codecs from the library and then manually put them back in while reopening quicktime until I found the codec that was crashing it. Then I just deleted it.

Hi just in case you still didn’t find a solution after all these months I found a solution that worked for me. On Windows 7 64bit I’ve been having this same problem with AE CS6 only with the QuickTime format and H.264 Codec selected. Since i got it mid September it took me over a month to find a solution. After reading numerous forums I discovered that the problem was with quicktime 90% of the times errors appear. I read somewhere that the last previous “stable” version of quicktime was 7.5.5 so on apple’s site where you download quicktime there should be a link to download older versions where you should be able to find 7.5.5. I installed that version and it cleared it out. Renders fine now on Quicktime H.264 AE CS6.

Thanks for the advice but it still won’t render! I’ve tried re-installing AE, several different versions of QuickTime, everything! I tried it with premiere but that also fails. I think I’ll have to render out in lossless avi file and then put the clips into Sony Vegas render out there.

Wow actually I just got the problem again last night actually. It worked for about 10 renders and then the same problem occurred again. This is a very very frustrating problem! Just a few questions, are you using multiprocessing in AE? And do you get the same error rendering QT h.264 with Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder? I’m getting same errors with them. Well we’ll keep on looking for a fix.

I haven’t tried media encoder yet but I get the problem with premiere as well as AE. No I’m not using multiprocessing.
