sorry! SetOutputWorld called with a world of the wrong size

Adobe AE CC2017.1 & 2015.3

OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)

4GHz Intel Core i7

Memory: 40GB

 

I am getting a random error when rendering out of AE 2017 and 2015. "Error - internal verification failure, sorry! {SetOutputWorld called with a world of the wrong size} (78 :: 4)".  It causes the render to crash.  I am using some effects like CC Repetile and Motion Tile, some color corrected photos (no video in project) and multiple scale nulls.  It's essentially a slide-show type project with scale nulls creating drifts and transitions.  The errors are not happening in the same place each time.  I am able to render about 30 seconds of the 4 minute timeline, crash, and render the next section, repeat, and piece it all back together.  I have disabled the cache, tried a render with all instances of CC Repetile turned off (still crashed) and saved back to CC 2015 and tried rendering on another MacPro workstation.  No solve.  I was able to get it to render in full using Adobe Media Encoder instead of the AE Render Queue.  I would still like to figure out what is causing that error!  I also tried rendering out an image sequence instead of Quicktime movie, but still crashed.  I've been using AE every day for 17 years now and may have seen this error in the past but am reaching out for some possible insight.  Thanks!

Composition Window Preview not showing anything

Hi folks,

 

i am struggling with the following problem:

 

Regardless of the version of Ae (i run both the final CC2015 Version, as well as the most recent CC2017 update) - after trying to preview a composition in my project, the composition window becomes empty and doesn't display anything (see images attached). After that, no matter what composition i open, it all remains blank, when scrubbing through the timeline and when previewing. When i try to quit Ae after that, it becomes unresponsive - i can't exit it other than killing the process in the task manager..

 

I have tried the following:

 

- purge cache/image memory

- import project into a new project

- open project in different versions of AE

 

After seeing similar problems in other threads (with none of the "solutions" helping) let me assure the following:

 

- it is not a magnification or zooming issue, when i start the preview i can see everything, the preview is just killed after that rightaway

- the CTI is at a point in time where things should be visible

- my preview mode is "Off (Final Quality)" and no matter what i change it to, the problem remains

- i AM using the most recent versions and drivers, yes i do.

 

I'm running Ae on a Windows 7 Pro machine with 32GB of Ram and a GeForce GTX1070 with the most recent drivers, updates, etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated, since i can't continue to work this way..

 

Kindest regards

Troubleshoot a script error

For the past few weeks I've had the most annoying script error when trying to open a file (often times a file that I had open just minutes before)!

ae-error.PNG

 

Which causes a crash of course, and then the next Ae start I get this very helpful error message:

ae-error2.PNG

 

The only way I've been able to get around it has been to have start a new file and import. But the constant versioning up of the files... My folders are a huge mess! That loop will continue as long as I'm trying to open the file after I see that error. And it's happened on many different files, some 3D composites other 2D simple animations.

 

Anyway to figure out what this error actually is?

Hello,
The problem is auto-trace does not creating a mask for the whole size of my video, just a part of it.
I imported my video, used keylight 1.2
Created a  rectangular mask, to remove walls out of both sides of green screen.
Then I tried to use auto-trace, but it traced only a part of it (I suppose rectangular)

 

EPdZtvOzaRU.jpg

 

P.s.
I checked the beginning of the video, it traced ok.

But it is true for only one frame
Help please, what I am doing wrong?

 

 

Here is my options for tracing (sorry, it`s in Russian)

 

 

 

I am using Windows 10 x64, intel core i5-3330 CPU 3Ghz, RAM 6 Gb , nvidia Geforce GT 640

Trump Draws Motion Tracking?

February 7, 2017, 12:22 pm

Can anyone point a relative newbie to a tutorial that walks through the steps for adding a 2D plane to footage.  The most entertaining application is:

 

Trump Draws (@TrumpDraws) | Twitter

 

Mine is a different type of project, but that's the result I'm looking to accomplish.  I only have the "stock" install of AE CC 2017 (no Mocha) so I'd like to stick with native AE tools.

 

For this type of project, would you use a camera track then parent a null to the desired plane, or, is motion tracking the way to go?  I'm getting horrible results with both techniques, so if there's a tutorial that would illustrate the key concepts I'd be ever so grateful!

 

Thanks!

Video Card no longer recognized by AE and Premiere

With AE/PR 2017 My system no longer recognizes my Nvidia Geforce GTX 670. While it is 3 years old it has essentially the same capabilities as the 680 which is on the approved list. The lack of CUDA rendering has really put a jam in my rendering times. Has anyone been in contact with a similar issue?

Animation Codec no longer exports alpha channel

With the latest upgrade of After Effects I can no longer export an alpha channel using the animation codec. I am working with a Grass Valley K2 Summit server.

When clip is rendered RGB+Alpha is on. Premult is on. When imported to K2 both tracks appear in the properties box but fill and alpha track are black on clip load.

With an older version of AE we were able to get the import to work using the aforementioned settings. Any updated computer with AE CC 2017 will not import! Have tried other codecs (DNxHD & opa1) but  still no alpha! Since Apple is no longer supporting Quicktime is this causing an issue? Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I've made inquires at GVG as well. Hoping to solve this before baseball season starts!

45 second AE with expressions, takes 2 hours to render

February 7, 2017, 2:21 pm

I make a sports program and I have the hourly standings to show. Last year I relied heavily on scripting to make the AE. However, this year I lessened the things that scripting does to mainly copy my template and populate a text-field with all the info I want to display.

 

 

Through expressions the standings pages are created. Reading the info from the appropriate line in the text-field, and use the comma-sepatated info on that line to extract the name for that particular field. When it is for instance a country flag to be shown, then that is done with searching the correct frame where the flag is shown, and hold that frame for the duration of that 'page'. Other values are for instance taken from an overall settings composition, where info like the nr of the race and the series is being set, which in turn decides the correct colors to use and the event-graphics.

 

I have about 350 lines in the standings-AE, including control layers (null layers) and masks.

 

The rendering of each AE is too heavy, taking 2 hours each (7 to run). I am aware that this is due to the fact that all data in all the 350 'layers' is re-evaluated for each frame, and perhaps also for the default settings. However, I do not know how I can populate the values only once per AE (or at least, only the times it needs to change, like on showing a 'new page').

 

Is there a way to speed it up? I don't want to lose the ability to change a small error in the text-field, and have a correct output, nor do I want to miss my general settings.

 

Thanks for sharing your knowlede

 


Marque.

After Effects CC2017 stopped recognizing CUDA

January 11, 2017, 10:07 am

I have been using After Effects CC2017 for a few weeks with no issues. Suddenly, last night I opened a recent project and got this message: "This project was last used with Mercury GPU acceleration (CUDA), which is not available on this system. Mercury software Only will be used".

This is weird for a number of things:

- First, Adobe Premiere PRO recognizes and uses the CUDA available.

- After Effects gives me the option, in Preferences, to select GPU (vs. CPU), it's not greyed out.

- AE lists my NVidia card under CUDA (in GPU information).

- No changes have been made, and now all my projects show this message.

 

When I go to File>Project settings>Video rendering and Effects, the option to select Mercury Hardware acceleration (CUDA) is greyed out.

I re-installed the NVidia drivers 3 times, with no luck. I made sure (in the NVidia control panel) that, the necessary options are selected.

Has anybody had this issue or know how to fix it? I appreciate any help.

 

Thank you.

Render out of AE CC no h.264 option render queue

In cs6 you could directly render out of AE to h.264 via render queue.

Now there is no option in the dropdown, only avi, jpg sequence. dpx  etc. is this intentional to have to use AME to render out?

 

thanks

100% RAM usage and computer freezing when importing ~250MB MOV

This problem has been angering me for the past week or so. I open AE, drag a ~250 Megabyte QuickTime file into my project panel and WHAM! My RAM Usage immediately shoots up to 100%. First, AE stops responding, then by mouse cursor freezes in place, then my entire computer is locked up. I've tried exiting out of AE with the task manager, but I'm always too late to click the "End Task" button. I'm forced to unplug my computer from the back (and I've had to do so 3 times). I have no idea how to fix this. Can someone please help?

 

Specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4130 CPU runing at 3.4 GHz with build-in Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400.

Seagate Desktop HDD ST1000DM003 1TB Hard Drive. No SSD

No, I don't have a GPU. I know, I know... Somehow I can still edit and composite things in AE With the i3.

And response is greatly appreciated.

Fractal noise CC2017 animation presets missing - have tried the usual fixes

Hello there

 

Have installed After Effects CC2017 and have gone to use Fractal Noise.

 

None of the animation presets appear in the drop down list.

I have refreshed the list in the effects panel, and made sure that I have Show Animation Presets checked.

 

I can see that the preset I need is there in the application folder:

Applications> Adobe After Effects CC 2017 > Presets > Backgrounds > Curtain.ffx

 

 

Any ideas what else to try?

How to animate text - Fall in › Explode

New Main comp.00_00_26_11.Still001.jpgScreen Shot 2017-01-24 at 21.51.08.png

Basically I'm in the middle of an animation project, but I'm still learning about AfterEffects' in-built text animation features (which I love), and I need some help.

 

(The effect I'm going for is intentionally lame, it's just to accentuate what a person in some footage is saying.)

The girl says 'We have some BIG NEWS.'

...then she follows immediately by repeating the 'big news' part, just more quietly.

 

I want to animate BIG NEWS falling in as she says the words. The 'impact' of the words will shake the screen slightly.

Because it's meant to be silly, I'm just going to use the explosion preset from Adobe Bridge (sometimes less effort is funnier).

Through the 'explosion', the smaller big news will emerge as if it charged through the bigger words and sent the letters scattering.

 

The thing I'm stuck with essentially - as dumb as it sounds - is how do I best animate the BIG NEWS falling in and exploding on the same text layer.

The workaround option is probably just to divide the BIG NEWS layer with the explosion on it so it's in two layers which meet, remove the explosion from one and make sure it is first in the timeline, then cut the words up so they're also on two different layers, make sure they're aligned with the explosion words and then just do a simple position animation, making them fall in.

 

But I'm 2000% sure I can do it as an additional animator in the explosion layer, so I don't need loads of separate layers.

How do I do it? (remember it has to be timed with the words as she says them)
