When exporting a Quicktime movie from After Effects on windows 7, I get the following error ..
Instead After Effects is a software you use in the middle of the video creation process. It is expected that an artist that is using After Effects would render out their compositions into an intermediate (less-compressed) codec and finalize their video in Premiere Pro before exporting using Media Encoder to export for delivery. So you want to know more about the Output Module. It's kind of complicated so I'll talk slow I suppose? Or maybe I just do that because I'm Canadian and can'.
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '(my main internal drive / my file name).mov'. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-161-153464). Disk doctor free. download full version mac.
I see a lot of suggestions for limiting the number of processors by using 'msconfig' to change the 'boot' file. This seems like a poor solution because it affects how all other programs use the processors.
Does anyone have any other help on how to resolve this without reducing processors ?
Thanks, for any help.

This tutorial is on how to export a still frame out of After Effects. In it you’ll learn how to take a frame in After Effects and export a JPEG (.jpg), PNG (.png), PSD (.psd), or TIFF (.tif). And you will learn how to export a still with or without an alpha channel as well. Here’s how:
Save Frame As
To begin, open the Composition with the frame you want to export from After Effects and move your time position indicator to that exact spot in the timeline. Under the Composition menu, find Save Frame As and then select File…
The Render Queue should pop up as a result of this. If not, go under the Window menu and select Render Queue. In the Render Queue find Output Module and click Photoshop (or whatever your default setting is).
Output Module Settings for Exporting a Frame from After Effects
Doing this will open the Output Module Settings. In the Output Module Settings find the Format dropdown. Select the type of file you want to create.

Selecting Photoshop Sequence will give you a .psd file. JPEG Sequence will give you a .jpg file. PNG Sequence will give you a .png file. And TIFF Sequence will give you a .tif file. Please note, even though this says “Sequence” you will only be exporting one (1) frame.

Enjoying this tutorial? Check out this quick tutorial on using After Effect’s little-used Increment and Save feature.
For PSDs, TIFFs, and PNGs you can export the file with an alpha channel. An alpha channel keeps the information about what is supposed to be transparent. You cannot do this with a JPEG file. Let me repeat. A JPEG file (.jpg or .jpeg) does not contain an alpha channel. We clear? Download itunes 11.4 mac.
Back to PSDs, TIFFs, and PNGs… if you want an alpha channel on them, from the Channels dropdown you must select RGB + Alpha. If you don’t need an alpha channel, just leave this set to RBG. Click OK to close the Output Module Settings.
Output To Settings for Exporting a Frame from After Effects
Now back in the Render Queue, click the file name that’s next to Output To.

Name the file to what you want it to be and set the destination. Click Save. Lastly in the Render Queue click the Render button to export the frame from After Effects. All done!
