HELP…AE CS3 refusing to render ANYTHING…
AE has been working fine, and then, literally overnight (nothing chaged on the computer) I started getting this anytime I try to put anything to the render que:
After Efects error: making file reference file not found (-43).
I’ve tried reloading the footage, replacing the footage, trashing the prefs file, and finally completely uninstalled AE, and then reinstalled AE. Same problem.
I’m on a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running the latest update of Leopard.
Thanks in advance…this is killing me.

No, I’ve tried all sorts of things. Even this produces the error:
Make a new comp.
Make a new layer.
Save frame as file
Enter file name at prompt
ERRORI’ve tried new projects, as I’ve said, the complete deactivate and uninstall reinstall. I do have another computer I installed in as well (running tiger) and no problem there. Any ideas?
Thanks!

i’d start looking at a problem other than ae…
if you haven’t already, shutdown for a minute and reboot. then test to see if you see the error. if you do, then run the disk utility (applications>utilities). repair permissions on the startup disk and then run verify disk (if you need repairs, you will need to boot from the osx install disk, then choose disk utility from the utility menu).
if that doesn’t help, i’d try the hardware check (usually on the osx install disk, older macs have a separate disk), instructions are on the front of the disk, run the extended test… it will take a while.

Sometimes I’ve found that this works when nothing else does:
Create a completely new project, then import your old project into the new empty one, and save as a different name.
Also, deleting everything in your render queue window has helped me in the past.
Hope this helps!
