  • After Effects never finishes rendering… (not crashing though)

    Posted by Devin Earthman on November 12, 2008 at 5:49 pm

    So I’ve tried searching about this but it’s a hard one to find since most posts are about system or program freezes…this is a little different.

    I just got a brand new workstation PC that has gotten me all excited about working in my first full 1080p HD project. Performance-wise, previews etc. run great, but now I’m trying to render sections of my project (not even the whole thing) and after effects will take only 4 minutes or so to get to 99%, and just never finishes rendering or writing the movie file–I’ve even left it overnight. I’ve tried moving the render area, turning on/off nucleo pro, different movie formats (QT, WMV etc) and the only time I’ve gotten a completed render is making the render area half the length. This doesn’t make sense since I have the memory to preview the whole comp and play back in realtime no problem, so it can’t be a resource/performance issue?

    Thanks a bunch this is making me crazy.

    Actually, after a little process of elimination I was at a brand new project with an empty comp and it was still not finishing a render. So I disabled Nucleo again and that seems to be the problem, which I thought I had already tried disabling with the same result. So now it’s working (but oh so slowly!). It’s just strange I haven’t had any problems with it lately, I wonder if it has to do with the HD resolution.
