Re: Continuous beeping when rendering

This is the absolute FIRST TIME I've ever heard of anything like that.

Here's are my guesses, and they're just guesses:
• your disk drive is getting too full
• your disk drive is getting ready to expire.... as in crash

Of the two, I think the full disk is far more likely.

So why would an effect cause the sound? Enabling the effect may be just enough to make AE do a Disk Cache, meaning that it's using a dangerously-full disk.

Why would your disk beep in the first place? Here's another guess: there's some gizmo on it to signal that you're just about to fill it up, not unlike the way a camera beeps when the battery is low or the tape is about to run out.
