  • Framerate Error Message When Rendering

    Posted by Dmitry Sokolov on April 27, 2011 at 12:57 am

    Hi i’m disparately in need of help with the message i receive when trying to render my composition. i’m trying to output in .mp4 format (using h262 codec for lowest file size) and get the below error, preventing from rendering. I have no idea what/where to adjust the frame rate… I know there is a frame rate option in the ‘composition’ tab.. but no matter how high/lod (within reason) i set it, no luck…. (I’m using the HD TV 1080 preset in the composition menu)

    What am i doing wrong? Appreciate any help the community can offer.

    PS: the goal is to reduce the file size of the output file w/ out sacrificing quality. The file is to be used for digital signage.

    Don’t transcode when you render from After Effects. Render uncompressed and transcode in Media Encoder or Compressor.

    Sorry guys, can you please be more specific… I’m not sure i understand.

    Should i be exporting or rendering as a. mov?

    Also, it used to work in the past, and no longer… any way someone can pin down the setting i should be looking for? Unfortunately i don’t have Sorenson or other converters…. (university student budget)…so must do it through AE…

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Mr. LaRonde, thanks for your concern. All I can say is I’m working on it and there’s not an obvious, or for that matter a documented, solution.

    I’m now working on a bit of social engineering, and have offered to supply a working Mac with an HDMI cable to the AV company. The awards show is this coming Saturday and I’ve spent far too much time troubleshooting their system…

    Just to be clear, NEVER export from After Effects, use the Render Queue and render. Use Best Settings and Lossless compression,
