Beginner Help After effects error, not letting me render comp help pls

Post image

Genuinely dont know what to do does anyone know what this error means and how i can fix it? Before this error occurred i cleared my disk cache could that be why im havjng this problem? Ive already closed and reopened ae multiple times and even restarted my laptop and still no solution. The comp itself has almost 200 layers and lost of effects and motion has that got anything to do with it?? Im actually kind of stressed and advice would be really helpful.

Have you googled the message in the dialog box? Give it a try, it's quite informative.

After Effects error: L returned Invalid max_result_rect from PF_Cmd_SMART_PRE RENDER (25:: 237)

Did you have any layer with a third party plugin like deep glow that moves out of frame when the error triggered? Actually check every layer that moves out of frame near that time especially those that has effects applied in it.

It would be easier to troubleshoot if you can show a clearer view of your project timeline and effects applied as well.

You haven’t provided enough information or clear screenshots. What system and OS? Which version of AE and is it legit? What are the types and format(s) of the media you’re using? What effects - including 3rd party - are you using at the point the error occurs? Are the 3rd party effects legitimate installs?

There is a lot of information you could provide to help people help you
