I’ve got a problem when I try ro render I get the next message:
but it’s the composition itself, it’s not a problem of another file like images or audios.
I can’t find the reason, please help me.

there is one footage element in your composition (that could be any imported file that is in your composition) which is missing. you can find missing footage items in your projects by going to the search filed in the project window and use the arrow to choose «Missing Footage» or simply type missin.. and it will auto complete
this will find the missing compositions that contain missing footage, click on them twice and it will direct you to the missing footage layer in your composition.

Check the composition. Showing us the render cue tells us nothing about your project or your problem.
You will see an empty icon in the timeline:
And color bars in the project panel:
If you can’t find it check the flow chart. When it is expanded you’ll see color bars in the flowchart:
If Case.png was your missing file you could right-click in the flowchart select Reveal In Project. That would take you to the Project Panel where you could right-click and select Reveal In Finder (folder). Then you could search for the missing file and put it in the correct folder.
These are standard troubleshooting techniques that you should be very familiar with. The flowchart can save you a lot of time.

1 footage file required to render, I don’t see any footage missing.

I’m trying to render out my composition. When I go to Render it, I get a warning “1 footage file required to render composition “renderComp” is missing.”
The composition is named “renderComp” I’ve looked through the Project bin and can’t find anything missing, everything in the preview is fine too. When I render with the missing file some layers seem to be missing. I can’t figure out which layers are missing to give the rendered result. Is there a way to check missing footage files easily?

Yes. I don’t have AE open so I may be a little off, but its fairly obvious so I’ll be close enough to find it.
Select the main project window where all your footage and comps are and go to Find from the File menu. When the window comes up, check the “missing footage” box and replace whatever it finds in the comp window. Then, keep hitting “find next” and replace everything that is missing.
Since it sounds like AE is telling your the comp itself is missing, you should also re-add the comp to the render queue and delete the first instance of it since AE will sometimes give you errors if you have the same comp in the render queue twice, if there was an issue with the comp when your first put it in the queue or something similar.

Basics of rendering and exporting
Rendering and exporting overview
Rendering is the creation of the frames of a movie from a composition. The rendering of a frame is the creation of a composited two-dimensional image from all the layers, settings, and other information in a composition that makes up the model for that image. The rendering of a movie is the frame-by-frame rendering of each of the frames that make up the movie. For more information on how each frame is rendered, see Render order and collapsing transformations.
It is common to speak of rendering as if this term only applies to final output. However, the processes of creating previews for the Footage, Layer, and Composition panels are also kinds of rendering. In fact, it is possible to save a preview as a movie and use that as your final output. (See Preview video and audio.)
After a composition is rendered for final output, it is processed by one or more output modules that encode the rendered frames into one or more output files. This process of encoding rendered frames into files for output is one kind of exporting.
After Effects provides various rendering options that help you accelerate the rendering process. GPU acceleration offers better speed and precision in rendering your effects. The Video Rendering and Effects dropdown in the Project Settings dialog box gives you the following GPU effect rendering options to choose from:
Note: GPU-accelerated effects may render with small color precision differences in an 8-bpc project when compared to CPU-only rendering. Set the project to 16-bpc or 32-bpc for accurate results.
After you have completed a composition, you can output a movie file. There are two different methods of outputting a movie file. Choose the one based on your needs.
You might need a movie file for the following reasons:
You need a high-quality movie (with or without an alpha channel) or image sequence that will be placed in a Premiere Pro sequence, or used in another video editing, compositing, or 3D graphics application.
To create a high-quality movie file, render it with the Render Queue. See Render and export with the Render Queue panel.
You need a compressed movie that will be played on the web, or used for DVD or Blu-ray disc.
To create a high-quality movie file that is compressed for the web, DVD, or Blu-ray disc, encode it using the Adobe Media Encoder. See The Adobe Media Encoder.
Some kinds of exporting don’t involve rendering and are for intermediate stages in a workflow, not for final output. For example, you can export a project as an Adobe Premiere Pro project by choosing File > Export > Adobe Premiere Pro Project. The project information is saved without rendering. In general, data transferred through Dynamic Link is not rendered.
A movie can be made into a single output file that contains all the rendered frames, or it can be made into a sequence of still images (as you would do when creating output for a film recorder).
To generate output, you can either render your compositions using the After Effects render queue or add your compositions to the Adobe Media Encoder queue with the render settings that you have chosen in the Render Queue panel.
For the Render Queue, After Effects uses an embedded version of the Adobe Media Encoder to encode most movie formats through the Render Queue panel. When you manage render and export operations with the Render Queue panel, the embedded version of the Adobe Media Encoder is called automatically. The Adobe Media Encoder appears only in the form of the export settings dialog boxes with which you specify some encoding and output settings. (See Encoding and compression options for movies.)
The embedded version of the Adobe Media Encoder used to manage export settings within After Effects output modules does not provide all the features of the full, stand-alone Adobe Media Encoder application.
Render and export with the Render Queue panel
The primary way of rendering and exporting movies from After Effects is through the Render Queue panel.
When you place a composition into the Render Queue panel, it becomes a render item. You can add many render items to the render queue, and After Effects can render multiple items in a batch, unattended. When you click the Render button in the upper-right corner of the Render Queue panel, all items with the status of Queued are rendered and output in the order in which they are listed in the Render Queue panel.
You do not need to render a movie multiple times to export it to multiple formats with the same render settings. You can export multiple versions of the same rendered movie by adding output modules to a render item in the Render Queue panel.
When working with multiple render items, it is often useful to add comments in the Comment column in the Render Queue panel. If the Comment column is not visible, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a column heading, and choose Columns > Comment.
Manage render items
In the Render Queue panel, you can manage several render items at once, each with its own render settings and output module settings.
Render settings determine the following characteristics:
Output module settings—which are applied after render settings—determine post-rendering characteristics such as the following:
You can create templates that contain commonly used render settings and output module settings.
Using the Render Queue panel, you can render the same composition to different formats or with different settings, all with one click of the Render button, for example:
You can output to a sequence of still images, such as a Cineon sequence, which you can then transfer to film for cinema projection.
You can output using lossless compression (or no compression) to a QuickTime container for transfer to a non-linear editing (NLE) system for video editing.
You can select, duplicate, and reorder render items using many of the same keyboard shortcuts that you use for working with layers and other items. See General (keyboard shortcuts).
To transfer the output rendered from After Effects to film or video, you must have the proper hardware for film or video transfer, or have access to a service bureau that can provide transfer services.
