Failed to encode video frame
Has anyone got this error before? When I am rendering out, I get the message “Failed to encode video frame” and the application will crash. I am trying to create a H264 quicktime. I have done it before in the past and it usually works fine. I can play though the sequence and it looks good in the Resolve. All conflicts have been resolved. I can export out as DPX or Avid MXF media with no problems.
Any ideas?

I’ve had this error after upgrading the cuda driver to version 4. The second reason could be lack of disk space. rolled back to version 3 – error gone

Thanks for the info. I do have lots of free space on the render drive.
I am currently running CUDA driver 3.2.17. I never did the upgrade to the version 4 driver. I did restart the application a few times (well it did crash every time). I eventually exported as a Prores file and that worked fine. A little frustrating.

What is the size of your project – number of timelines, length of each timeline, and number of clips in each timeline?

Hello,
I have about 25 timelines in my project. 9 of them are longer (about 12000 frames each). The rest are short (about 2000 frames each). The one I was trying to render out is 945 frames. Does the H264 require more resources (and thus might fail with big projects)?
Are there performance guidelines about how many timelines, files in the media pool, etc?
Thanks,

Yes, normally we recommend breaking up projects in less than 20 minute chunks.
Also – try removing away as many timelines as you can to free up some memory.
Yes H264 is a major resource hog.

You can also check system drive for free space as the database usually sits there. The workaround could be to render anything from image sequence to uncompressed qt and then use MPEGStreamclip (free) to convert it to h264.
