After Effects Render Crash (Multiple Versions)

[samy27594814]

Ok so i made an edit in ae cc 17 on friday then I tried to render but every time it would crash. So then I tried to import into AME but it couldn’t detect it. I finally got it into AME but it would fail after barely starting. I waited a day then tried the same thing. I even installed cc 18 and AME 18 but same error happened in AME 18 and I couldn’t even open the project in ae cc 18, it kept crashing. I finally gave up. Yesterday I tried to make an edit in ae cs6 and I tried to render as h.264 so i could get a mp4 video but it would fail at the about the same frame every time. I rendered as a different format thought and it worked but lowered the quality a lot and cut out some of the audio from the start so it took 3 seconds then the audio finally played. Anybody know what I can do so I can render my videos?

We'll need a lot more info. Do you get an error message? What exactly happens? What operating system?

Taking a stab in the dark I'd try making sure gpu drivers are updated.

I just tried it again and same thing happens. CS6 Just says after effects has stopped working and I am forced to close. Im on windows 10, and i'm almost 100% sure that my drivers are updated.

Hi SamY,

Sorry for the trouble you're having. What's going on in your Timeline around 1:03? Any applied effects?

Thanks,
Kevin
