After Effects Crashes when Rendering

Hi Guys!

Thanks for your help on my last post - it helped loads!

Now, hopfully you'll be able to help again! :)

The problem this time is that when rendering out, and only when rendering to Quick Time Movies, After Effects crashes and I am left with a useless half rendered project.

I meet all the requirements for the program to run, and everything works perfectly except when I render out to Quick Time. Furhtermore, this problem is only recent, as I have rendered many projects out before without this occuring. I have done all the usual proceedures to try and prevent this (ie restart program, computer, reinstall etc.) and it still doesn't work.

Any help is most appreciated!!

Vicky xx

Have you updated quicktime recently ???? Could be the culprit.... When was the last time it worked ???? you could always back up projects, then rollback to that time.

what happens if you try using quicktimeplayer's export file? Does it still crash? That one test will answer about 20 questions.

"Quick Time Movies" You never said what codec you were trying to use. You may need to use another codec brand if quicktime is unfixable which means you can't use quicktimeplayer's export, only AE's.

adding effects may be pushing AE over the edge from your high mem settings. try the defaults so that there is room for your graphics buffer to complete the effects.

max mem usage 120%
max ram cache size 60%
