Render Failed
Hellow I’m running After Effects on a 2 G RAM PC. I have a 4min 720×405 presentation that is going to be outputted for CDRom and Web. When trying to render output the render usually fails (without error) or i get usual the usual After Effects error 108 out of memory. I have tried purging (secret). I have tried increasing ram usage and clearing disk cache. I don’t have any other drive so I’m stuck using the same HD for overflows and cache. I tried outputting at medium quality and using half resolution. I have tried using adaptive resolution and using open GL but to no avail. Can someone recommend an output setting that I can use that will be able to give me a decent quality and not fail everytime I render?

“That sounds like you turned off Open GL just for RAM Previews.”
Yep I was told to use adaptive resolution for compensating on previews. Now I did have Open GL “off” most times i tried to render but i’ll double check. Most of my footage files are mp3, pngs, jpegs and SWFs (that i time-remapped). I had my purging in the secrets set to 50 frames. I tried outputting to FLV and in most cases AE crashed(using the render queue). I’m resorting to “split” up my files but its proving to be a VERY tedious task.
I’be tried playing with the settings and In some cases i reach as far as the ending only to have the render silently fail. I’m not sure what else is there to do

Ok I tried again making sure to NOT use Open GL or have it enabled. I increased my RAM usage to 100% my disk cache to its max MB usage. I uploaded a snapshot of what my output module settings were but alas…minutes away from completion it “Failed”. But why just fail and no fail and prompt an appropriate error?

I had my secrets prefs set to purge every 5 frames already but disabling the layer caching and taking of the frame’s motion blurs seemed to help

Well i have upgraded my quicktime and i set the purge frames to 1. I then used 1/2 resolution on 87 high quality and I am able to get a completed render but in some parts of the video i get a blank red screen where there should be animations. My footages are all SWFs and JPEGS

SWF’s can cause crashes if they are the source footage. There’s too many compression schemes for AE to know them all. Make them uncompressed first, then red will go away.
