I didn't hv that problem but 2day when i ram preview it crushes and only things i hv is layer bg and 1video i keyout. Now i watch this vid, let's see if it works 😁😁
Damn after effects just keeps crashing 1. Update your software Me : Huh it's already the latest version 2. Media and disk cache Me : 1 terra byte I guess Adobe just sucks as if you need me to tell you that
@PSYCHRONIC, try creating a folder on a drive with not much on it and instead of allocating more memory in after effects, allocate less memory. It worked for me! My sweetspot was 50gb
this is what subscription and creative suite did.. everyone depended on the software and they dont make significant revisions or rewrite the software to exploit the advances in GPU and CPU technology... just little fixes here and there...
THANK YOU SO MUCH my 5 hrs of work just keep crashing even when I redo it, I did the video card tip and I can now open my work THANK YOU YOU'RE A LIVE SAVER OMG
What I found fixed the crashing was I made sure I had a page file setup on my Windows PC. I had page files turned off and I guess once I would run out of RAM, After Effects didn't know where to offload the data. It would give me a low memory error, and either crash, or refuse to preview the timeline. You'll want to use a decent size SSD for your page file. I'm using my 1TB NVMe SSD that also contains my OS and After Effects, but I haven't seen any issues with that. Basically, a page file is used once you have maxed out your RAM. I've heard no one talk about this and I hope that it will solve someone else's problem as well.
idk if he said this (i havent finished the video) but this helped me! -go to file explorer -add a new file to "local disk (C:)" -name it Adobe or anything -move all your files connected to After Effects, and or any adobe app, including plug-ins, projects that are being made, etc. -delete all finished, unused, unimportant files. and you should have more space in your pc, and it should help you not have ae crash, apologies if it doesn't work.
whenever i render my edit it gets stuck in one frame and ive already restarted my laptop several times and checked for anything weird in the composition where that frame is and i don't see anything wrong. does anyone know how to fix this? :(
i figured out what caused it, it was because the frame was saturated. In this case I had 4 layers (video, text, overlay, etc) inside one pre-comp. What I had to do is to not pre-compose more than 3 layers and use an adjustment layer to make the transition
Thanks, bro, this helped me a lot. One thing that did help me the most of course is restarting your computer. I would recommend doing so after you've done these changes. It pretty much gives it a nice flush and makes everything fresh.
I am only having crashing issues when it comes to using Keylight, do you have any idea what could be causing that kind of crash? I followed every step in this video and I am still having that issue.
4:56 Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Previews in After Effects and there is a button "GPU Information". See what it says on "Device" and search for drivers.
when it comes to Roto Brush and Autotracing there is deff problem with some of the GPU-s more specific RTX series so disable CUDA acceleration is MUST in that case....
I’m late to this but when I had cc 2017 it did that. Just right before you do it ALWAYS save the project because you will loose what you were editing and I recommend adding a adjustment layer on top of everything then adding mbl on there
i was editing and i’ve tried this with two different files. i can’t see anything in my preview and i can’t like watch the edit. it just crashes ugh i don’t know what to do. it’s been going on for like a week😩
My after effects when i doing project suddenly it is stucked and freezed i can't touch any where and for sometimes it is showing not responding does this solution work for it
I knew this guy reminded me of someone, but I couldn’t figure out who. You’re right, he does kinda look like Joseph Morgan. And, yes, that is a compliment because hot damn he’s sexy.
_riddledits_ For me the issue had to do with photoshop using a file that really messed with the ae Idek tbh I just stopped opening photoshop and it stopped.
my after effects crashed while rendering and my computer turned off. After turning it back on I can’t get out of the program. it’s just stuck. I’ve tried going into an older saved project but it’s still stuck on rendering
My aftereffect Freezes when i play or edit a video during when it renders in aftereffect after that it stops responding and i have to force close and open the application. My pc specs is Ryzen 5 3600x, 16 gigs of ram , rx 580 8gb and windows 10 pro.
I just had issue with Red Giant plugins, instant crashes when i just drop it as effect when my project was 32-bit or 16-bit, i did a lot of trials and errors, and i found that in Project Settings>Video Rendering and Effects changing "use Mercury software only" to "use Mercury GPU Acceleration (CUDA)" fix issue completly. hope that helps someone.
I really need help. Everytime I'm in a middle of a edit all of a sudden it stops and says "not responding" and I have to close and reopen it losing everything. Please help
@@sertralunez Yes I have, when you edit put your resolution as Auto. Depending on your RAM it will go to Half of full. It is recommended to have 16 RAM I think or 12 RAM but most likely 16 RAM.
Correct. Ideally you don't want to stop using Cuda, but if you are experiencing crashing sometimes this can be a faster solution to get your project done if other troubleshooting methods haven't worked.
I fixed a lot of issues by paying attention to the mismatch of frame rate. I used some stock videos which were 25fps and the project was 30fps. My solution was to run the Media encoder and re-render my footage to match the project's framerate. I hope it solves some of the issues for you people. Thx
That’s still safe to purge. The number won’t make a difference apart from how long you might have to wait till it re-renders. But that’s small when compared to problems crashing. You won’t lose any work from purging ram 😄
I have done everything and it still freezes. I have turned my pc on and off and looked at other tutorials on youtube. It's like when i trie to look at the project it frezees, please help!
Oh no! So sorry to hear. Sadly if it's not one of our own plugins there's little we can do to solve the issue beyond telling you to remove it. 😢 If it was our plugin we would get our dev team to work on fixing it on the back end. So sorry to hear
I don't know if you're still checking the comments but every time i import an mp4 file from my file it shows up as an avi in the project tab and i can only get a few seconds in (depending on the length) before ae freezes and then says "Not Responding"
Hi ellise, without seeing it ourselves we would not suggest deleting anything that we can't confirm doesn't have project files and other necessary materials 😄 are you concerned that these files may be causing Ae to crash for you? If you wanted to try anyways, just be sure to copy those files to an external drive or somewhere else in case you find out they are necessary after testing if they are the cause of Ae crashing. That way if they end up being necessary you can easily place them back in the same spot.
@@MotionArrayTutorials thank you! I went ahead and tried it, and I was actually able to put some finishing touches on my latest project with out ae freezing or crashing! I think that plus purging my memory help e to fix the issue, I really appreciate your help through this comment and video :)
mine when i put audio to my layer or photo in after effectss it keeps making a scaary sounds and it freaking me outtt aaahh i waannaa fix it but i dont knoww howww
so i recently updated my laptop to windows 11 and ever since I did when I try to edit something in ae and I want to play back what I just did it doesn't play back at all then it says that its not responding and crashes and you please help me with this issue
Also out of no where a abode cloud kind of ad pops up trying to offer me new softwares and stuff like that and I can’t just exit out I have to click “view offer” then when the new page opens I exit out I don’t know how to get rid of it
Hi Naya, sorry to hear you're having troubles. Is this the "Runtime Error" you're referring to? Seems like a lot of people had problems with this using version 17.0.2. We'd suggest trying to update to the latest version. If you're already up to date, you can also try rolling back 1 version. If these do not work, there might be a specific asset or piece of media you're using that's causing problems. Finally, if all this does not work, we would suggest collecting your project and sharing it with yourself and opening it up as a separate project (in exactly the same place where it's at now) as some users have noticed that this gets around the problem. You can find a tutorial on collecting in after effects here: ua-cam.com/video/0lvZg7YRAWw/v-deo.html Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any trouble!
I Have a question I hope you see this. When I import my clips at random points it glitches and turns green for a couple seconds. As well at random points I get these red glitching effects and I have no idea why I have restarted my Mac millions of times and as well tried re recording the clip but that has nothing to do with the problems that had occurred in After effects.This only happens in after effects. I saw some tutorials on how to fix the green glitch but it does not work and im very confused. I hope you can solve my problem and ty for your time.

Correct. Ideally you don't want to stop using Cuda, but if you are experiencing crashing sometimes this can be a faster solution to get your project done if other troubleshooting methods haven't worked.
