Render Error Message

[Jerry Wise]

I have had that error. I disabled each track one by one. i would start with the top track and hit render. if it failed then it was not track one…..on and on until you disable a track and all renders properly. then the clips on that track have an issue.

Ryan,

I’ve also had that issue. Most of the time I’ve found it to be an effect (or too many simultaneous effects across tracks.) To find the offender, using the Render In/Out function, I render the video in halves. Render the first half of the video. If no problem occurs, the issue is in the 2nd half of the video. Problem? Divide that half into halves (each is now a quarter of the video). Keep dividing the “halves” in half and rendering. Eventually, you’ll get down to just a few seconds of video. In those few seconds (5 or 6) you’ll find the offender. It may be a clip. It may be an effect. This is a good place to use Jerry Wise’s track-by-track technique (above) for further isolation. Good luck!

I’m getting these errors more frequently with each new release it seems…it only seems to be an issue on rendering within the timeline for me, luckily I’m still able to export these sequences with all the effects. Sometimes I find it’s less frustrating to export a sequence to an mp4 file and proof it as a finished product then to try to deconstruct the timeline in the hope that I’ll come across the issue.

It’s incredibly frustrating that the error message can’t give us more specific info as to what the specific issue is that’s causing the problem.

I have had success doing the same thing and going further by changing I/O points to narrow down where on the track.

Thank you everyone, I tried that method of narrowing it down and it worked but I still wonder why it’s even happening in the first place. It does seem like an update bug or something. Luckily I was able to just delete the clips that had issues and was still able to use them as short-form videos. I hope this doesn’t happen on longer-form videos in the future though..

Rendering with Hardware Encoding in AME? Try switching to Software. Take longer to render, but may work without removing any effects or video.
