  • Output module won’t let me change render destination

    Posted by Sergio Pol on February 25, 2014 at 12:41 am

    Hello I’m working with AE CC since a couple weeks and haven’t had any problems until today. I send a comp into the render queue but it won’t let me change the destination of the render. I mean, I click on the name of the future file as usual but nothing happens. It seems to be quicktime related since I’ve had somewhat normal results with flv or avi files. I also tried rendering an image sequence and it kind of worked. It rendered the movie as a sequence but it used the last used render destination. I imported that sequence and it wouldn’t let me use quicktime as the format. Any help please?.

    I guess I figured it out. Something weird happened to the project folder and AE and the OS were acting up with it. I can’t even delete the freaking folder. Windows says it doesn’t exist anymore. Luckily I managed to collect the project top a new folder.

    How does something that doesn’t exist manage to even say something ?

    Hi Sergio,

    I’m having the same problem out of no-where! Nothing I’ve done in terms of my workstream has changed. It’s driving me MAD! How did you solve the problem please?

    Not sure if my other post came through but I was having the same problem… an Adobe help chap took over my comp and fixed it for me. Basically, all he did was re-set the AE preferences and that solved the problem.

    Hope that helps!

    I think I found a solution for this!!! I noticed that my folder had a space in the name. I deleted that space and everything started working again.. I was in Maya when I found out about this & it was really frustrating!! Currently running windows 8.1

    Here is a gyazo of what I did:
