Weirdest Rendering Problem Ever
by Coubiak on Aug 7, 2007 at 4:26:54 pm

Hello everyone !

I come to you with the weirdest problem I ever had in After Effects 7 :

When I start a render it work fine for a moment and then the image starts to get all blury and dark and starts blinking ! It is something I've never seen before. My computer was absolutely stable before today ! I tried to un-pick the effects one by one in order to isolate the problem but even without effect the problem is still present ! It makes absolutely no sens to me.

Here are some screenshots :

Note : What you see is not something I have created, this blury, darkish effect is the problem.

Thank you very much for your help ! I'm late and desperate !

Nicolas

Dude. The error msgs are blocked by the "AE has crashed" window.

YEEEESSHHHH! You're right! That's a bad-ass error msg. You may want to reinstall AE if nothing else works. Did you try another AEP?

The thing to do now is to look into whether its and AEP issue or an AE issue. If it's the latter then a re-install will be ideal. If it's the former then look into re-creating the stuff in a fresh AEP. You can save the effects into an FFX.

The blurs look like some camera blurring. Do you have a 3D comp setup?

I looked at your screen shots. I clicked on the "OK" button and nothing happened. :) (sorry for the attempted humor)

Not sure what type of system you are running...(besides windows), but sometimes AE likes to try to use all the RAM it can, but then crashes. Try turning down the RAM preferences to 1/2 or 3/4 of your current settings. Without knowing anything about the computer, it's hard to give you numbers.
