Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Video isn’t exporting properly

  • Video isn’t exporting properly

    Posted by Maya Ash on October 17, 2023 at 7:45 pm

    I’m trying to export my video, and when I export it through the Render Queue it acts as though it’s exported properly, but after three seconds of the video the screen goes black, but the audio continues playing until the end. When I try to export through AME, I see the first three seconds in the preview box before it freezes and fails. I’ve included my AE render settings and my AME error log. I’m kind of a beginner so sorry if this is something obvious or I didn’t include the right info, LMK if any more info is needed. Any help is appreciated 🙂

    Are you able to preview the timeline at full resolution without it failing?

    Is there anything specific that happens around the time on the timeline where the export fails?

    Does it make a difference if you clear the cache before exporting? (Edit > Purge > All memory and disk cache…)

    Rename the logs file with “.old” or something. Then try the export again with “Log” set to “per frame info”. You could make the video start 1.5 seconds in to reduce the logs you get too. Then you should get a clean logs file with a lot more detail, if you can’t see any obvious errors then dump the whole file on here and we’ll see if we can spot anything.

    I published a video a couple years back, talking through all the steps you can take to solve a render fail. Maybe it can help you:
