Thanks a bunch … Dave & Chris

Dave I am going to go through the link u posted now and see if it helps me.

Chris, Dave & everyone else who is kind enough to help…here’s more details.

I closed all comps and tried rendering as TGA files … it didn’t work
I tried rendering from the very particular frame that was giving me trouble … it didn’t work.

But here’s something thats odd. If I try saving it frame by frame as a TGA file…it works! … wow … but the only problem is I need to do it 1503 times … sigh!

I also tried to que up smaller segments of comp …as small as 1 second long … But it wont render more than 3 frames starting from the problematic frame.

Another update … it exports just fine 😛 … damn how i hate to export from AE!

Besides I also tried using a friend’s mac … its got a 4 gig ram and is better than my windows in many ways but it stops at 408th frame .. and if he tries to render it from there onwards in a separate queue …it just renders 6 frames n gives up…

Could it have something to do with excessive particular layers?
just wondering!

help guys!

cheers
