when AE finishes rendering, video turns black
Hello,
I have a weird problem with rendering.
– firstly i rendered the video in h.264.
– the preview in after effects looked perfectly
– i stopped rendering, and watched the rendered file in quicktime. looked perfect.
– i continued rendering until after effects finished rendering.
– i opened the file with vlc & quicktime. it was completely black, audio worked normaly.
– here are my settings:
– then i tried the same with quicktime/jpeg-format, with the equal outcomst:
here the properties of my used footage (it’s shot with a D90 and directly from camera):
I reviewed my render-history and i saw that the files were only viewable, when i aborted rendering!!!
weird!
I could abort shortly before the movie finishes, but that’s a really stupid solution.what is happening here?
when i searched the forum, i didn’t find a proper solution.any ideas?
greetings,
jakobps: sorry for the german images, but i think translating is not necessary

Did you try updating your quicktime version and maybe a nice restart?

well, i have the newest quicktime version installed (7.6.4) and i restarted several times.
now i try to render the movie piece for piece uncompressed, and it seems working.
though it’s not really a nice solution, because i’m running slowly out of discspace 😉 -
I read your stock answer already.
i hoped that i can avoid this.
also it’s weird, because if i avoid rendering, the file is okay.
Also, the problem only occurs when i render a composition containing other compositions (I found that out just right now).I will try converting the footage, though it doesn’t really make sense to me.
If it works, I will be confused but happy anyway. Yes, okay, i will try it. Allright. -
haha, okay, so… seems like i need an update… thanks for your patience!

Try rendering to qt jpeg or simply to mpeg-2 (which newer versions of Adobe really like, FCP, less so)
