I have finished creating a video and am ready to pre render or export.

I have tried re rendering the video in a few different settings including TIFF and quiktime

I have also tried exporting as a quiktime movie and an AVI movie with mild settings and still can't have a result.

The render tends to stop/ crash when it reach about 100 frames of rendering.

*This hasn't happened before and have rendered with high settings for videos with nearly 10k frames.
*This video only has about 500 frames.


Any help out there would be appreciated.

EDIT: Sometimes I get a message saying something along the lines of ''out of memory''
EDIT: Also tried exporting as a MPEG-4 default settings and AVI default settings.

Did you use magic bullet looks?

No I did not

Alright I got no clue then sorry.

So shameful a 30 second clip can't be rendered rofl.\

STILL LOOKING FOR HELP ON THIS PROBLEM

does it happen even on wmv?

"Occasionally, After Effects may display an alert message indicating that it requires more memory to display or render a composition. If you receive an out-of-memory alert, free memory or reduce the memory requirements of the most memory-intensive layers, and then try again. "

How would I do this?

and I will try wmv and tell you if it works.

Still no luck, I've tried wmv and for the first time it reached 229 framses before having that white screen on aecs4. Left it for 10 minutes but no progress so just ended the process.

The 2nd time i've tried it, aecs3 gives me this message.

''After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media IO Plugin
Media IO2 error: 0x4
Not enough memory to complete this encoding''

I'm coming to think its a memory problem?
and as you said before about reducing memory on layers, how do I do it.

Cheers

Keep it as AVI , ffs umm please...

thank god you came along!

That video helped me SO much. I stuck to wmv liek the other guy said and adjusted settings accordingly to the video and worked! Was so happy to hear that ding at the end of the render

Will upload to you guys to see what the fuss is about.

not the best i've done
could have done a huge improvement between the 1st and 3rd kills and a quicker scope mask.
