  • After Effects error: attempt to get a value from a time stream with no key values (29::36)

    What the crap! All of a sudden I am getting this error in the middle of a render and it causes the render to fail. It happens at the same time in the render when it happens but this part has existed for a while and it never happened before. I am running win xp with plenty of space on my drive. Could anyone help? Thanks a bundle, Becca

    Are you using by any chance time stretching/ remapping or referencing items with expressions and temporal offset? This may not show up during work as you often will not hit the exact critical keyframe. Could be any number of things from a layer trimmed after applying an expression to damaged footage.

    This could be it! I did use time stretching for the first time in my project when this started happenning! I have been using time remapping all along but that is diffent because it is applyed to an avi where as the time stretching was applyed to a png. And this png had already set keyframes. Could this be it and could you maybe tell me how to fix it? Should I just delete thoughs keyframes and the file itself and then redo there movements without the stretch? Also I don’t know what you mean by “expressions and temporal offset” Thanks a bundle, Becca
    P.S. Oh, crap I just thought…The place in time when the render stops and errors is at a much earlier time than when these time stretched layers come to play AND it stops on a spot that never had a problem before with no alterations to that part.

    Ok now I realize that it is erroring with this same message not only when I am rendering (stopping at this particular part that has worked just fine for a long while and hasn’t had any changes)but it also giving the error when I go to that part in the timeline. It won’t let me touch any of the layers in that part. But I haven’t altered it for months!!!!!! Thanks for the help. Becca
