Rendering Problems in AE 7
Hello, I’m having some problems rendering in AF 7. I have a few compositions some nested within others and one of the compositions has quite a few layers, and in other composition I have some effects, (not many, but some, like layer blur, motion blur) Now everytime I try to render the file out to either uncompressed AVI video or QT the program will crash not even a quarter of the way in. I have enough RAM, and I also have enough HDD space on one of my drives so that can’t be the problem! How come this is occuring ?

Debugging rendering errors by remote control in After Effects is almost impossible. Best we can usually do is try to get you to reduce the complexity. You can safely turn off one layer at a time until the crash stops and then you will know where to start looking for problems.
here’s another:
Save as… and give your project an incremental number. work with the new copy.
Carefully assess your main composition for nested comps. If you have comps with comps within comps, more than two layers deep, you may have set yourself up for iterative or recursive layers that reference each other. This does not always return an error, especially if you’re in 3D.
So, look again for ways to eliminate your nests by pre-rendering some layers and replacing the comps with the movies.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Oh I understand, yeah I believe it probably is the pre-comps that are causing the crash, I suppose I will have to render the comps as movies\individual frames then put them into one composition, I hope this works.
