Activity Forums Adobe After Effects crash on 1 frame

  • crash on 1 frame

    I’m working on a project, but when I hit a certain frame in my timeline or during the render where i have one nested comp with a motionblur and a mask over an other nested comp after effects crashes. Yesterday everything was fine.
    Does any body know what can cause this???

    Is it a specific frame, or a specific spot on the timeline? There was a glitch with a quicktime update a while ago that caused some problems rendering past a number of frames. The most recent update addresses this, but if you for some reason got an older quicktime update, it might be the cause. Get the latest quicktime update and see if that doesn’t fix it.

    Bad frame? I have had things with bad frames that made it crash before. It really was not so much the bad frame but that I was maxing out the computers power and it was the straw that broke the camels back, and also you might have skipped that one frame the day before so you thought every thing was fine, worth a check any way.

    it crashes on frame 026 when i scrub in the timeline and when i render it out. I tried you suggestion of updating quicktime but that doesn’t help (i have quicktime pro). I captured video from a dvd into quicktime. I also thought that that might be it but no.

    I dont think that its a bad frame because when i play around with visibility then the frame is oke but only for a moment and only in the timeline, not when i try to render it.

    Will this frame be missed if it is gone? Try rendering 0-025 then 027-to what ever the end is and see if you even miss the one frame. Not sure what type of project it is but I have had situations when 1 frame is not a big jump or skip. Also look at it in thumb view if you have not just to make sure.

    Have you tried opening that file by itself in a different application and scrubbing to that frame? without knowing what you’re doing in your comp, I’m suspicious of the file somehow.
