  • Can Only Render Quicktime with NONE Compression Selected

    Posted by Shane Zucker on March 5, 2016 at 6:01 am

    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. RENDERING A LARGE PROJECT OUT OF AFTER EFFECTS CC 2014 ON WINDOWS 7 AND ITS WORKED FINE FOR MONTHS. NOW, IF I TRY TO RENDER WITH ANY CODEC OTHER THAN NONE, IT GIVES ME AN OUTPUT MODULE ERROR.
    VERY BIZARRE.
    ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY?

    IVE KILLED MY PREFS AND RE-INSTALLED QUICKTIME TO NO AVAIL. I HAVENT INSTALLED ANYTHING ON THIS COMPUTER IN WEEKS.
    THANKS.
    SORRY FOR CAPS…..RENDERING. 😉

    I apologize for the long list of things to try, but the solutions are so varied, I had to list them in order of likelihood.

    1.Disable Multiprocessing
    2 update Adobe updates
    3.your footage may have video/audio errors. Can you render to png image sequence? Or transcode in handbrake first
    4. Use Adobe Media Encoder-instead of using the built-in After Effects Render Queue
    5. Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache
    6. Manually Purge Disk Cache-Preferences > Media & Disk Cache,” where its location is displayed. Open this folder and ensure its contents are deleted.
    7. Run (applications- utilities- console) crash report
    8. reelsmart motion blur(precomp first)
    9. VC Reflect(collapsed layers) from Video Copilot
    10. any scripts/missing fonts
    11. The ‘Secret’ preference purge every 5 frames
    12. Remove file “AVI Importer.component” in /Library/QuickTime.
    12. After effects did not have permissions to a system folder
    11. Download “AppCleaner” – delete quicktime
