1. Re: AE CS6 Stops rendering if I change focus
Vic DiGital Jun 6, 2012 3:07 PM (in response to BenFreedman)I'm noticing this as well. It just started doing it today. It stops every time I change focus, but it also stops at random points right before it gets to the end of the render (the latest was at 27 seconds out of a 30 second sequence)

Felix Mack Jul 16, 2012 3:07 PM (in response to Vic DiGital)I have a similar issue mac osx 10.6.8 2.8 Quadcore. There's no error, just the render done sound, but it doesn't finish. Staying on the app fixes this, but isn't particularly awesome.

JakobNystrom7 Aug 8, 2012 12:58 AM (in response to BenFreedman)I've got the same problem today. For me it was with the multiprocessing settings that didn't leave anything for anything else than AE.

BenjaminMarkus Aug 8, 2012 10:00 AM (in response to BenFreedman)You could try dragging your troublesome compositions into Adobe Media Encoder and rendering from there as a possible workaround.

5. Re: AE CS6 Stops rendering if I change focus
DigitalShow Jan 24, 2013 9:09 AM (in response to BenFreedman)Has this issue been resolved yet. I am on a Windows 7 64bit system with 16 gb of ram and it continues to stop rendering (sometimes randomly) when I switch from after effects and start working in other apps (checking e-mail, etc).
My GUESS is it might have something to do with the GPU. I am using the nvidia quadro 4000 since it uses it to help render...but I am not sure.
-- Also I had it do a full by-frame log and it shows no errors...it just shows the date/time and says Finished Composition (at whatever point I try to do anything else outside of after effects).

Todd_Kopriva Jan 24, 2013 9:23 AM (in response to DigitalShow)Show us a screenshot of your Memory & Multiprocessing preference settings. My guess is that you've got them set up to give nearly all of the RAM to After Effects, but then you switch to another application and take that RAM away, interfering with the rendering.
Also, as a general piece of advice: You should not use the same computer for heavy video production work and such things as emal, web browsing, and iTunes. Do those things on a cheap laptop while you let After Effects and other video applications have all of the resources of your workstation. This helps to avoid problems with other applications colliding with your professional applications, such as using/blocking TCP ports, hogging the GPU, and even installing components that interfere with your production work.
