Corrupt renders
I’ve had two occasions in the past week where I’m getting render problems:
-In the first case AE reported a problem with some footage…which had never caused problems before.
-In the second case I’m getting quicktime files that are incomplete and show the tell-tell signs of corruption (smeared lines, shearing, etc)In neither case was I having any problem with previewing the comps.
I’m just using the Animation codec and uncompressed audio.
Any suggestions would be invaluable.

Dave,
I am using CS5….no long-gop footage… But Since I deleted my prefs…AE might have reverted to Open GL being on again. I knew it could cause crashes…I didn’t know OpenGL came into play during renders.
I’ve known about the OpenGL problems for several versions…is it still such a bugaboo?

OpenGL still [expletives preemptively deleted] in AE.
And yes; you can render with it, but nobody (that I know) does because of the aforementioned [expletives also preemptively deleted]. So you definitely want to turn that off.– The Great Szalam

Sorry; meant to enclose this link on Rendering with OpenGL.

Dave, Michael….well I checked and I had indeed already turned off OpenGL in my prefs. I too have known about that for several years (but was curious about an update).
But in this case the corrupt renders were not caused by Open GL
Strangely enough when I rendered the movie out in chunks I was able to work around the problem. We will see if it returns.
Thanks for your help!

No I’ve got a pretty robust Mac system:
CS5 running 64 bit on a Nehalem Mac 2009 Mac Pro with 24 gig RAM and latest updates, OS, etc.Life is full of funny particles.

Have you fed any gremlins after midnight?

Hi friends of the particles gremlins,
I solved it by rendering the comp first in my working area, then saving the RAM preview in composition settings. Hope that helps! 😉
