Mocha Ae troubles

[Jeremy Garchow]

Making my way through some decently complicated masks/rotos.

I’ve hit a snag where Ae simply stops working after trying to view the masks in Ae after pasting them on to a layer (not using Ae masks, but rather pasting directly on to a layer to get the soft edges). CPU is at 100%, and the preview monitor is simply frozen.

I can scrub, open new panels, move things around, but the preview is locking up Ae something awful.

I tried deleting memory/image cache.

I can’t quit Ae, unless I force quit. If I force quit and open back up, I can work for a few frames until something locks up the display.

I tried reducing the project to just the precomp, nothing helps.

I am at a loss of what else to do. Any ideas?

After some more troubleshooting, it appears that there’s one frame that throws Ae for a tailspin.

I tried redoing the Mocha data, but the same frame causes Ae to lock up.

Once I delete the Mocha data, I can play everything back with no issues.

This is a really complicated roto, and I’d hate to have to redo the whole shot. Is there a way to shake loose any weird data in Mocha?

Thanks.

It’s literally one frame.

I guess I have to try and redo this shot from scratch. Weird.
