Yes, thank you that fixed it.

Thank you! that worked! Sorry for the late response, I have been busy with chores.

I don’t know if it’s supposed to perform higher quality but I’ve seen multiple tutorials saying to NOT USE AAC+2. Just use AAC cause I’ve had great results with it. I would say to put the quality to 48.000 khz 8 bit cause once again I’ve had no problems with it. Here’s a video I did with 48.000 khz 8-bit(If you don’t like the sound quality then you can try 16 or 32 bit.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NYa0pII4PU

Okay, I guess cs4 doesn’t have it. All I got in the output modules drop down menu is “lossless, alpha only, animated gif, audio only, lossless with alpha, microsoft DV NTSC 32KHz, microsoft DV NTSC 48KHz, microsoft DV PAL 32KHz, microsoft DV PAL 48KHz, multi-machine sequence, photoshop, RAM preview, custom… and make template.”

Thanks I’ll try that. 🙂

As long as I’ve been using after effects I’ve had almost no problems. The preview is full quality as far as I know. Best settings and lossless are the presets, although I don’t have “none” option in video codec or avi.
-
Oh and sorry I forgot, yes the preview takes about the same time to render…

I suppose, here is the project file. It shows my render settings too in case that will help.

Okay, sorry I wasn’t clear enough. (this is long so brace yourself) I have after effects cs4 and update it whenever it says there is an update. I made the entire project from scratch, no source footage was used, but I did use a mp3 song for sound keys so the smoke would dance. No error messages, just long render time and half corrupted file. This has worked in the past but I have never done a video until now that was longer than 10 seconds. I guess I have installed a few programs since my last animation but I can’t remember which ones, and I doubt any of them would interfere with after effects. I have absolutely no idea what version of quicktime is installed but I have a version installed. I wasn’t running any other software, maybe once or twice opened up My Computer to see how much space I had left on the drive. I have a few third party effects installed like the effects suite, magic bullet suite, keying suite, and trapcode suite from foundry, and video copilots optical flares and twitch. A few other’s I think. My computer is a dell latitude d830, microsoft windows xp professional, version 2002, service pack 3, 32 bit, Intel Core Duo CPU T7500 at 2.20GHz 1.58GHz, 1.99 GB of RAM. Graphics card is mobile intel 965 express chipset family. I had a removable usb external drive which was where I was rendering the file to. I don’t know if I have any third party hardware, and I believe I am not using open-GL features in after effects but I’m not 100% sure. The problem happens only with the final render. I don’t think I have Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing. And lastly the exact sequence of steps I’m taking is creating the animation (I have a few different project files where I practice the techniques and figure out how to do stuff then use it in my main project)then add comp to render queue, choose my render settings, usually I choose H.264 cause that’s the one I’ve had best luck with so far with quality, it is set to lossless and best settings with 256 audio bitrate. I then choose the output, which in this case is the external hard drive cause I only have 3 GB on my dell at the moment due to a lot of pictures I need to delete, and then hit render. A message comes up saying:
The File ‘Fin.’ from the output module ‘Lossless’ does not have the correct file type extension. The recommended extension is ”. The file will render correctly, but the OS will not be able to identify the type of data it contains.
I just hit ok and let it render, cause this message has always come up for every codec I choose and it hasn’t really seemed to cause any problems before. Once done, 17 hours later, I enter my editing software play the video and at a certain point the video is completely gone. That’s about it…
