  • Rendering Error Issue

    Posted by Oli Lyndale on April 8, 2016 at 9:30 am

    Hi there,

    I am trying to export my composition from AE CC but when I hit ‘Render’ nothing happens. In status is says ‘Rendering’ but this is not the case and the cursor looks like it’s working but nothing is happening. When I hit ‘Stop’ it gives me the following warning:

    After Effect Error: Rendering error while writing to the file “C:\WORKING EDITS\SY – SCN 1\Exports\Test 1.mov” An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (1610153464)

    If i then try a second time it gives me the following warning:

    After Effect Error: Rendering error while writing to the file “C:\WORKING EDITS\SY – SCN 1\Exports\Test 1.mov” Unable to delete existing file. (1610153460)

    I am exporting QuickTime /h.264

    I have recently reinstalled my 64bit PC with windows 10 and the following programs from the Adobe CC suite:

    PS, PP, AE, ME

    The computer is definitely powerful enough to run the software.

    Any ideas please help, pulling all my hair out with this as everything else running smoothly,

    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    Try connecting a USB and render to that instead. If you still get the error, I’ll try to look into it. If you only get the error rendering to your hdd, it might be something with your laptop/desktop.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your advice. So i tried a couple of variations with no success but things did happen. Can you let me know your thoughts on these.

    So I tried as you suggested and rendered out to a usb stick.

    1st:

    Settings: Quicktime – DV/NTSC

    When i hit ‘Render’ still nothing apears to happen and the ‘Total Time Elapsed’ stays at 0. However, when i hit ‘Stop’ i do not get the warnings. When i check the USB i can see a file there but it is only 1.2mb and does not play.

    I have tried with multiple variations and nothing seems to provide results. The best i have got is by using

    AVI / DV (24p advanced) and this results in a 300kb file that just plays a second of sound (from a 5 seconds video comp)

    Other variations were:

    Quicktime / Animation
    Quicktime / MPEG4

    Each time this does create the file but they are just 188kb in size and do nothing.

    Any other advice massively welcome.

    Kind regards

    Oli

    file-save as something else.
    are you rendering cuda? raytrace cpu /gpu
    AVG installed? linkscanner/online shield turned on?
    adobe media encoder gpu on?

    Hey, sorry the problem is still persisting. Have you tried googling it? Asking somewhere else? I’m not sure this is necessary, but you might have to reinstall After Effects. Maybe some file got corrupted?
