Hi Julius,

Sorry to hear you’re having such an irritating problem. Are you able to render ANYTHING out of AE? If you are able to render other projects, then I may be able to help. (If you can’t, then there might be a serious problem with your hardware/driver setup)

I have experienced a similar problem. In my experience the problem was with the Sapphire plugins. They do not seem to be as stable in ASCS4, especially when you have multiple instances of them in your project.

Try rendering out the layers using the Sapphire plugin by themselves. If you CAN render them out, just put these renders into your comp in place of the layer(s) using Sapphire. If not, and it still crashes, then it probably is Sapphire and you may have to use a different effect.

Hope this helps.

Nick
