I’m having this same need for some time. (now in CC 2014)

If you ever find a way to edit the .epr to enable LZW compression in AME let me know. I’ll owe you a huge favor.

SUCCESS!

I have had the same error this morning and my only resource for fixing it was this thread. I was only recompressing an image sequence of tiffs with one wave under, and go the same error as everyone else.

I prepared my render queue. Shut down AE and then restarted AE. Problem solved.

Hope this helps shed some light on this for everyone else.

I wanted everyone to know, beenieweenie is way off on this one. He’s just wrong, an AE render farm blows a one machine render AWAY!

Using an AE render farm and watch folder reduces my render time dramatically on any shot over 60 frames. I have 5 PCs all watching and waiting. You only have to install the Render Engine version of AE and you do hgave to have uniformity of plug-ins from machine to machine. You also have to install needed fonts on a per comp basis, but AE’s html-based feedback tells you which fonts are needed if it fails. Same goes for plug-ins. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it, it totally is.
