startup disk fills up when rendereing – ae creating large log files
Twice now, when I render over night, I have come back the next morning to an error saying that my start up disk is full and the render has stopped. When I poke around on my system i find that a have a huge log file (hd>library>logs>console>501>console.log) . It’s about 80GB. so I deleted that file but this is becoming a regular occurance now, any know what’s going on?

I am having the same issue, but my project folder is on a second drive. I went to check log files in the project folder and they were only 4KB. So I went to check the log files in the Console folder, and there isn’t a folder there.

I’m experiencing the same issue and am trying to figure it out. It’s not After Effects but OS X itself. We’ve run out of RAM and so the operating system is writing to swap files on the disk instead of to RAM. Upgrade your ram or move the location where OS X writes it’s swap files: https://superuser.com/questions/28414/moving-the-swapfiles-to-a-dedicated-partition-in-snow-leopard

You might want to try turning off multiprocessing as well.
