Failed Render
For the third time, my export/render from AE (using either Quicktime, H.264, etc… Pro Res), either way, when the render gets to the last minute, it stops and just fails. The renders are taking 8-9hours for a small 3 minute animation – and I’m still trying to resolve the black screen video problem, but that’s another post and problem, but I need to render the entire video at least once so I can at least upload to Photoshop or back into AE as a video.
Perhaps its too heavy, too long? I didn’t think 3 minutes was too much, but its loaded with stock videos, so maybe its too much info to handle – but to FAIL in the last minute after watching it for 8 hours is painful! Should I break it up into one minute intervals, then try to patch it together??! Any suggestions? Many thanks…
There isn’t much to screen shot – other than, Render Failed. I’m having no success with AE. Feeling nooby.
HELP!

So, I have been researching across the web, so Ill try a few of the answers there, such as try CPU instead and clear out the Media Cache… We’ll see. Plus, I’ll check the report and hopefully see what’s crashing it at the very last minute… That’s where I have a Trapcode particle effect, but its so minimal.

Another good tip if you’re crashing during render: instead of rendering to a movie, render to an image sequence. You can always pick up the render exactly where you left off without worrying about a corrupt movie file, and you can re-encode the image sequence to a movie file very quickly afterwards.
