PDA View Full Version : Bad Media? kamrhon11-01-2004, 02:38 AMI am having a problem rendering out a Quicktime Movie with After Effects 6.0. When I add my composition to the Render Queue and set it to render, After Effects will reach a point in the composition where it will "fail to add to movie" and abort rendering. I rendered the movie up to the point at which the error occurs, and restarted another render at that point. It renders the second "half" fine, but when I bring them back in to a fresh comp and set it up to render a combination of the two movies, I recieve the same error message. What gives? The message as it appears is "After Effects Error: Adding to movie--Disk error (I/O Error; Bad media) (-36). (44::39) Any help will be greatly appreciated....a site I can go to to find a solution.....a work around.....anything. C XanderFX11-21-2004, 11:03 PMIf your file is rendering out over 4GB it sounds like you might be running into the evil windows and FAT32 problem, assuming you are using windows. FAT32 won't allow you to write a file larger than 4GB to the HDD. You might want to check and make sure that your target drive is formatted to NTFS. If not you can convert it using windows. This is from windows help: To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt Open ms-its:d:%5Cwindows%5Chelp%5Cntshared.chm::/shortcutCold.gifCommand Prompt (ms-its:D:%5CWINDOWS%5CHelp%5Cmisc.chm::/EXEC=Con

AE error 36, caching to a Lacie Started by Guest_pmcdonald_* , Mar 15 2006 12:19 AM Please log in to reply 5 replies to this topic #1 Guest_pmcdonald_* Guest_pmcdonald_* Guests Posted 15 March 2006 - 12:19 AM Hi all, Recently upgraded to AE 7 and loving it except for the fact that I can't access the preferences. A little while back I set the disk caching to an external Lacie connected via firewire and ever since I get the following message when I try and open preferences: After Effects error: getting volume info -- disk error (I/O http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php?t-183013.html error; bad media) (-36) The Lacie has full read/write permissions. Trashing the preferences file doesn't help. Anyone come across a similar problem? Kind regards Back to top #2 Guest_Symbolic_* Guest_Symbolic_* Guests Posted 17 March 2006 - 03:44 PM How you trashed the prefs? Is the disk still connected?

working with large complex projects. Although most of the magic is done behind the scenes, it still plays a critical role in the After Effects workflow, saving a ton of previewing and rendering times. When I think of the word cache, as some of you 3D guys may know, I think of a ton of large files set aside somewhere. When doing 3D simulations such as smoke or liquid simulations, you're working with caches all the time so it's kind of hard to forget about them. Since After Effects does caching in the background, I find that a lot of users sometimes forget that things are piling up behind the scenes. For those of you who may not be familiar with After Effects' disk caching, let me briefly explain how it works: Essentially, when you process and render frames (such as with a RAM preview), After Effects will try to save those frames and information onto your disk. That way, After Effects will be able to call and re-use that information if it needs to a lot faster. So if you make changes and want to revert back to your original changes, After Effects won't have to re-calculate everything, it can just re-use the info from the cache. If you're using AE CS6+, you'll have global performance cache and persistent disk cache that will intelligently help you save more time in your renders. As I said before, sometimes these caches get really large without us realizing it. To clean your disk cache, head over to your After Effects Preferences, go to Media & Disk Cache, then hit Empty Disk Cache. A few people reported that this didn't necessarily delete the files off their drives, and this could be for a multitude of reasons such as whether you're still using the cache files or not, etc. You can also manually clean your cache by going to the folder and simply deleting the files. Believe it or not, some people have disk cache folders that are 100GB+, some which they may not even need anymore. Since there currently isn't a way to automatically clean caches (for good reasons), you'll have to do it yourself. Some tips on cache drives: Make sure you use a fast drive such as an SSD with a lot of storage space. If possible, use a drive that is separate from where your footages are to take advantage of the throughput of the drives. The faster the drive, the faster AE can write to those drives. If you're tight on space, try lowering the Maximum Disk Cache Size to an appropriate amount. So how much space did you save on your drive by cleaning your caches? Let me know down below!
