40,000 pixels by 40,000 pixels is a giant frame, even for a computer with a lot of RAM—and your computer has a tiny amount of RAM for using Ater Effects.
What are you doing that is generating such large image information? Describe your composition. What are your composition settings? What effects are you using at the problematic point? What kinds of source footage?
Also, you really need to provide more general information when asking questions. What operating system? What version of After Effects?

Thank you for replying, I was getting worried that no one would answer anyway, what I’m trying to do right now is optical flare text and then fade it out through stretching it. However since I dont have the optical flare effect on my computer, my friend rendered a large and small mov for me to use.
Operating system: Mac
Composition setting — 1280px width, 720px height
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels
Frame Rate: 25

I am also using some footages in the background that are all in mp4 format. Each of them are no longer then 1 minute.
*I am also using After Effect CS5*

Sounds likie whatever sub-flavor of MP4 you use is not handled correctly by whatever CoDec and decoded as if it were a huge JPEG. Either your Quicktime iunstall is busted or some third-party QT component is messing things. As Todd said, it might help to know from which camera your footages are and how you get them on your machine.

it sometimes happens to me when the camera is too close to an object like text (think it has to do with resolution changing)
if you move the camera to go a bit further away from an object it should fix the problem

Happened to me with a text animator and enable per-character 3d. The position of my text was too close to my camera position. I was trying to fly text in from behind the camera text animator 3d position.
mr_epic_peter ‘s comment above helped me understand why I was getting that error. Thanks!
Did you figure out a work around?
I really want to fly my text in from behind the camera.

This thread has gotten very off track. The original question about buffer size has been addressed. You need to have your assets come close to matching your composition size. 40,000 pixels is a bunch for video so something is out of whack there. Since we know nothing about the assets except that they are mp4 and about one minute long only assumptions can be made. We assume there’s something about the mp4 files that may be causing the problem. No one can be sure because specific details, or even the simple details provided by the info to the right of the preview in the Project Panel when an asset is selected.
There is one key bit of system info that seems to have been overlooked by everyone but Todd. 2 GB ram… That’s not even the minimum required for any newer version of AE.
Then somehow we got into moving a camera and that lead to a question about moving text past the camera with a per-character 3D move. That one is easy to answer. You just set up your animator so that the z position of the text is at or beyond the camera’s z position. The text animator setup should look like this:

Notice the z position of the camera (-1211.1) and the z position of the text position (-1231) 20 pixels past the camera…. — 1211 would probably have worked too but the 20 extra pixels made sure the text came from behind the camera.
I also answered this once before in a different thread.
So, without further information from lir998 I don’t think there’s much more we can do to help solve the original problem.

Sorry if you feel my comment took away from the point of this discussion. I came across that error message today «After Effects error: Invalid image buffer size (….)«, but not the exact same numeric values. I googled it and it led me here. The 1st comment from user (lir998) and the comment user (mr_epic_peter) both pertained to my particular issue. It gave me some ideas on where to start problem solving.
I appreciate your screen capture and the time to address the issue with me. I have a very similar setup to what you’ve shown in your screenshot . At some point during my prerender when a certain character of text flys in from behind the camera to infront of the camera I get the error again. It’s as if part of that character is right on the camera lens…covering it up. Like touching it. From that point on I’m not able to scrub to any point after that without getting the error mentioned. This could be chance and someone else could have character’s that may not hypothetically «touch the camera lens».
I’m glad that user (lir998) was assisted with your previous posts and thank you for any assistance you provide fellow artists. I tried some of the things like purging image cache and memory that user (lir998) mentioned in his 1st post. Still wouldn’t work.
The error can be triggered by the situation I and user (mr_epic_peter) had. I understood the reason for the error, in my case, based on his comment. This thread helped me and I think that’s why we are all here — for help.

If you are getting this error Please post your project file and submit a bug report. There’s nothing to the idea of a character running into the lens that should give you this error.

Here’s a project file (CS6) that has a big block of text flying directly past the camera with motion blur turned on and centered ecactly through the camera center. Download the project file and see if it does trigger the error for you. If it does not, then look to other things to be causing the crash like effects applied to the text layer or other elements in the composition.
If this sample file does cause the error then please file a bug report.

Hey Christman.
I know that this thread is very old (before you posted), but i see that your post was less than a month ago. Have you tried the following.
Are you using the CC Light Burst 2.5 effect possibly?
If so, try turning the layer that throws the Buffer Error into a 3D Layer?
This is my initial response, but I just DLed your file and will have a look at it and respond in a bit.

Hey Christman,
Yup. As suspected, the issue is because of CC LightBurst 2.5 Effects throughout your comp.
One of the effects can be found applied to the «motion blur» layer within the Sub comp: Line-Up > Super 1 > motion blur .
It appears as though whoever set up the project initially was intending it to appear as a light blast into the title after the Audience Rating screen. The main problem you have now is that this effect is used in a lot of locations throughout your project which is throwing your Buffer error all over the place.
An option is to turn off the Light Blast effect everywhere that it appears, however you will lose a lot of impact from the effect. I can not spend the time to go through each layer and comp and find the effect, but the most efficient way is to scroll through and everytime the error comes up, at that frame search through the layers by toggling layers off (if the image goes from black back to visible) then the layer you toggled off has that effect within it somewhere (if seeded within a comp).
Good luck!

I’ve recently seen a bug that affects the CC Light Burst effect on a 3D layer, but the image buffer error doesn’t occur for a 2D layer. Is your layer with this effect a 3D layer?

Thanks for your responses:
AE CC2014 — version: 13.2.0.49
Szalam I’ve put it on a solid 1920×1080 fx layer and the layers beneath it include several .pngs and a movie clip — all 1920×1080
I’ve used the effect twice more in the project and they seem to work still — although I haven’t tried to edit them since the error came up, also the effect was working without any problem for the 2 days I was working on the project previously and I’ve not done anything to change it, other than continue to add additional comps to the project.

You have very little RAM in your system. I’d suggest rebooting the whole machine all the way off and back on. Then, don’t launch anything except AE and try using your project. See if it still throws the error message. A screenshot of your memory and multiprocessing settings screen might help too.

Hey Christman.
I know that this thread is very old (before you posted), but i see that your post was less than a month ago. Have you tried the following.
Are you using the CC Light Burst 2.5 effect possibly?
If so, try turning the layer that throws the Buffer Error into a 3D Layer?
This is my initial response, but I just DLed your file and will have a look at it and respond in a bit.

Hey Christman,
Yup. As suspected, the issue is because of CC LightBurst 2.5 Effects throughout your comp.
One of the effects can be found applied to the «motion blur» layer within the Sub comp: Line-Up > Super 1 > motion blur .
It appears as though whoever set up the project initially was intending it to appear as a light blast into the title after the Audience Rating screen. The main problem you have now is that this effect is used in a lot of locations throughout your project which is throwing your Buffer error all over the place.
An option is to turn off the Light Blast effect everywhere that it appears, however you will lose a lot of impact from the effect. I can not spend the time to go through each layer and comp and find the effect, but the most efficient way is to scroll through and everytime the error comes up, at that frame search through the layers by toggling layers off (if the image goes from black back to visible) then the layer you toggled off has that effect within it somewhere (if seeded within a comp).
Good luck!

I’ve recently seen a bug that affects the CC Light Burst effect on a 3D layer, but the image buffer error doesn’t occur for a 2D layer. Is your layer with this effect a 3D layer?

Thanks for your responses:
AE CC2014 — version: 13.2.0.49
Szalam I’ve put it on a solid 1920×1080 fx layer and the layers beneath it include several .pngs and a movie clip — all 1920×1080
I’ve used the effect twice more in the project and they seem to work still — although I haven’t tried to edit them since the error came up, also the effect was working without any problem for the 2 days I was working on the project previously and I’ve not done anything to change it, other than continue to add additional comps to the project.

You have very little RAM in your system. I’d suggest rebooting the whole machine all the way off and back on. Then, don’t launch anything except AE and try using your project. See if it still throws the error message. A screenshot of your memory and multiprocessing settings screen might help too.

40,000 pixels by 40,000 pixels is a giant frame, even for a computer with a lot of RAM—and your computer has a tiny amount of RAM for using Ater Effects.
What are you doing that is generating such large image information? Describe your composition. What are your composition settings? What effects are you using at the problematic point? What kinds of source footage?
Also, you really need to provide more general information when asking questions. What operating system? What version of After Effects?

Thank you for replying, I was getting worried that no one would answer anyway, what I’m trying to do right now is optical flare text and then fade it out through stretching it. However since I dont have the optical flare effect on my computer, my friend rendered a large and small mov for me to use.
Operating system: Mac
Composition setting — 1280px width, 720px height
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels
Frame Rate: 25
Resolution: Full
Duration: 55 sec
I am also using some footages in the background that are all in mp4 format. Each of them are no longer then 1 minute.
*I am also using After Effect CS5*

Sounds likie whatever sub-flavor of MP4 you use is not handled correctly by whatever CoDec and decoded as if it were a huge JPEG. Either your Quicktime iunstall is busted or some third-party QT component is messing things. As Todd said, it might help to know from which camera your footages are and how you get them on your machine.

it sometimes happens to me when the camera is too close to an object like text (think it has to do with resolution changing)
if you move the camera to go a bit further away from an object it should fix the problem

Happened to me with a text animator and enable per-character 3d. The position of my text was too close to my camera position. I was trying to fly text in from behind the camera text animator 3d position.
mr_epic_peter ‘s comment above helped me understand why I was getting that error. Thanks!
Did you figure out a work around?
I really want to fly my text in from behind the camera.

This thread has gotten very off track. The original question about buffer size has been addressed. You need to have your assets come close to matching your composition size. 40,000 pixels is a bunch for video so something is out of whack there. Since we know nothing about the assets except that they are mp4 and about one minute long only assumptions can be made. We assume there’s something about the mp4 files that may be causing the problem. No one can be sure because specific details, or even the simple details provided by the info to the right of the preview in the Project Panel when an asset is selected.
There is one key bit of system info that seems to have been overlooked by everyone but Todd. 2 GB ram… That’s not even the minimum required for any newer version of AE.
Then somehow we got into moving a camera and that lead to a question about moving text past the camera with a per-character 3D move. That one is easy to answer. You just set up your animator so that the z position of the text is at or beyond the camera’s z position. The text animator setup should look like this:

Notice the z position of the camera (-1211.1) and the z position of the text position (-1231) 20 pixels past the camera…. — 1211 would probably have worked too but the 20 extra pixels made sure the text came from behind the camera.
I also answered this once before in a different thread.
So, without further information from lir998 I don’t think there’s much more we can do to help solve the original problem.

Sorry if you feel my comment took away from the point of this discussion. I came across that error message today «After Effects error: Invalid image buffer size (….)«, but not the exact same numeric values. I googled it and it led me here. The 1st comment from user (lir998) and the comment user (mr_epic_peter) both pertained to my particular issue. It gave me some ideas on where to start problem solving.
I appreciate your screen capture and the time to address the issue with me. I have a very similar setup to what you’ve shown in your screenshot . At some point during my prerender when a certain character of text flys in from behind the camera to infront of the camera I get the error again. It’s as if part of that character is right on the camera lens…covering it up. Like touching it. From that point on I’m not able to scrub to any point after that without getting the error mentioned. This could be chance and someone else could have character’s that may not hypothetically «touch the camera lens».
I’m glad that user (lir998) was assisted with your previous posts and thank you for any assistance you provide fellow artists. I tried some of the things like purging image cache and memory that user (lir998) mentioned in his 1st post. Still wouldn’t work.
The error can be triggered by the situation I and user (mr_epic_peter) had. I understood the reason for the error, in my case, based on his comment. This thread helped me and I think that’s why we are all here — for help.

If you are getting this error Please post your project file and submit a bug report. There’s nothing to the idea of a character running into the lens that should give you this error.

Here’s a project file (CS6) that has a big block of text flying directly past the camera with motion blur turned on and centered ecactly through the camera center. Download the project file and see if it does trigger the error for you. If it does not, then look to other things to be causing the crash like effects applied to the text layer or other elements in the composition.
If this sample file does cause the error then please file a bug report.

Бывает и такое окно, но текст ошибки без изменений (обычно).
Эта ошибка означает что система не может прогрузить в буфер памяти кадр с разрешением ….. на …… (в нашем случае это 28326 x 7030).
Большая часть ошибок из-за того что вы в композиции используете ФОТОГРАФИИ в большом разрешении, а так же их анимацию,с motion blur. Чаще всего такие ошибки появляются при импорте фотографий с фотоаппарата и накладывания на эти кадры каких ниудь тяжелых эффектов размытия (но это совсем необязательно — чаще простое использование фотографий большого разрешения).
Решение: Либо НЕ используйте фотографии в большом разрешении или перед тем как закидывать фотографии в after effects — оптимизируете их! Для высокого качества достаточно и 2000 пикселей по ширине и высоте, а если нужны детали фотографии, используйте кроп или кадрирование.
Также причиной этой проблемы является фильтр Motion Tile, который делает заполняющие, зеркальные копии футажей в пространстве. Это достаточно тяжелый фильтр, особено если его применить на фотографии большого разрешения.
Решение: найти фильтр Motion Tile в композиции, поставить меньшие значения параметров Output Height/Weight, можно также убрать motion blur, сделать прокси файл с заменой в этой композиции, (см. соответствующий урок по прокси). Совсем радикальный метод — постараться не использовать этот фильтр, обойтись 3-5 копиями, слоев в пространстве.
Отдельная история это Motion blur. Например использование анимационнных текстовых слоев в 3д пространстве, с наложением motion blur. Грубо говоря, motion blur достаточно жестко заставляет «попотеть» систему при рендере и работе.
Решение: использовать меньшее количество сэмплов в motion blur (зайти в свойства композиции, перейти во вкладку advanced, в пункте motion blur, поставть samples на меньшее число). Или же не использовать motion blur на сгенерированных слоях. Также помогает прокси, то есть делаете рендер только текста и потом на него накладываете фильтры motion blur (CC Force Motion Blur, а лучше RSMB,но он не является стандартным).
Общие рекомендации: выделить больше оперативной памяти After Effects, сделать это можно в настройках Edit-> Preferences -> Memory&Multiproccesing. Также не забываем про железо! Не стоит ожидать быстрого рендера от старого хлама. Если есть возможность сделать апгрейд железа — сделайте. Преимущественно для этой проблемы: больше оперативной памяти, плюс упор на более мощный процессор.

Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
Посоветуйте, как самым простым образом поместить водяной знак на проект? Только пожалуйста, не отвечайте, если нет желания расписать все подробно, как для идиота. Я только начал изучать АЕ, через пару недель смогу сам все сделать, но мне это нужно завтра (заказчик отказался от слайд-шоу, который я сделал на основе заготовки из VideoHive, но я хочу его все равно его отдать, но с большими водяными знаками).Сейчас у меня версия 5.5
Спасибо. -
Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects

Сделай в фотошопе свой текст на прозрачном слое , сохрани в формате PSD и кидай в свой проект самым верхним слоем (растяни на всю длину проекта) прозрачность текста сделай на своё усмотрение. -

Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
ае пытается сделать слой размером больше, чем может поместиться в память. в этом суть проблемы. и дело даже не в фото или видео. на этом слое может быть сгенерированный градиент, небо, фон, просто большого размера для последующего движения камеры по нему.

Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
скачал проект. на ноуте с 8 гигами памяти разумеется выскочила ошибка, даже не смотря на выделеную для ае всю оперативную память. отключил многопроцессорность. нажал capslock перед загрузкой проекта. в композиции финал есть слои glass. выключил на них последний в цепочке эффект stroke, который делает окантовку. отжал capslock. всё работает, всё считается. сейчас освободится большая машина — там памяти больше. может она откроет просто так. почему это происходит — не знаю. буду вечером валяться в ванной подумаю.
-
Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
открыл на большой машине с 24 гигами памяти и выключенной многопроцессорностью, то есть на ае было доступно 21 гиг. всё равно ошибка выскакивает. почему stroke так себя ведет на корректирующем слое — непонятно. выключаю этот эффект или сбрасываю кнопочку корректирующего слоя — всё работает в обоих вариантах проекта. ладно бы исходный проект делался на маке — я бы погрешил на другое распределение памяти в системах… но там тоже Win х64. непонятно. поэтому пока как временное решение — отключение этого эффекта на всех слоях glass.
з.ы. вот интересно что по этому поводу думают продавцы на сайте. они бы вернули деньги? или перерулили всё на автора? я считаю свою машину довольно мощной, и мне бы было обидно выкинуть деньги на ветер за нерабочий проект… -

Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
В проекте предусмотрен показ 10 картинок (фото), после загрузки первое фото с очень большим увеличением.
Изменения настройки камеры дали результат на первой фотографии, но с этими настройками других, следующих затем фотографий, не видно.
Как не видно их при настройках по умолчанию. У вас проект работает? -

Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
Мои искренние благодарности уважаемому Vidikudik!
Только его подсказка помогла решить казалось бы неразрешимую проблему!
Причиной всех ошибок был руссификатор к АЕ. После его деинсталляции
проект заработал! Сам бы просто не догадался, что руссификатор может сыграть такую роль.
Рад, что существует такой ресурс, где на просьбу о помощи кто-то обязательно протянет руку и поможет! -

Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
Секрет тут один, не любит Афтер «левых» шрифтов в системе(опыта работа с ивритом у меня нет). Для их использования можно пользоваться программами подгружающими шрифты в систему, но не устанавливающими их на постоянной основе, например FontExpert. А по проекту, теперь просто укажи новые пути для «потерянных» файлов: в окне Проекта -ПКМ на «потеряшке»-> Replace Footage -> File, и в Проводнике ткни на нужный файл…
-
Re: Обсуждение проектов After Effects
slava5806, судя по вашим вопросам, вы мягко сказать программу не знаете.
Поэтому, что бы избежать дополнительных вопросов, постараюсь вам более подробно разъяснить суть сказанного Проходчиком.
Вы переименовали проект и графический файл с изображением мяча.
Открыли проект. Но в проекте имеется ссылка на не переименованный файл т.е. «Мяч». Т.к. по причине названия кирилицей программа его не хочет видеть, то он отображается как не найденный.в виде разноцветного квадратика.
Вам надо показать программе переименованный файл. В вашем случае M_04_2. Сделать это надо так как описал Андрей.
и эти манипуляции вам придётся проделать с каждым проектом, или решить проблему со шрифтами.
Удачи. -

I am having this issue currently exporting to Photoshop layers. I have tried it on a 2015 Retina MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM, and a Late 2013 Mac Pro with 32GB of RAM. Both are on the absolute latest version of After Effects, 14.1.0.57. My comp is a weird size, 784×295, but the error message states «After Effects error: invalid image buffer size (641x-247). ( 37 :: 102)» None of my comps or layers are anywhere near that 641×247.
I have no CC LightBurst, Transform 32 effects, character animations, etc. The only effects I have used are several instances of KeyLight, Key Cleaner, Advanced Spill Suppressor, Tint, Brightness & Contrast and Photo Filter. To test if one of those filters was the issue, I deleted the 4 layers that had those filters on, leaving my comp with zero filters, and still received the same error.
Also, my «Magnification Ratio» is set to 100%, and it also fails at 50% and 200%.
Comp duration also doesn’t matter. Originally it was 14 seconds, but because I am exporting to a PSD, there is no motion at all. I dropped it all the way down to just two frames, and still the Save As Photoshop Layers fails.
Exporting or Rendering a regular Photoshop document worked fine, it was the layering that was the issue. The only way I was able to get this file to export a layered PSD was to copy all my layers and paste them into a normal size comp, in my case 1920×1080 square pixels. I needed to fix the arrangement a little and put layers back where they should, but I was then able to bring that 1920×1080 layered PSD into Photoshop and crop it down to the 784×295 I needed it to be.
So, any ideas why the original export failed and how Adobe can fix that?
Thanks you,
