I would use AE for pretty much all of it. IMO if you can do it in AE, you’ll have better results.

I have no idea if this will help you, but it us something to try – works with some damaged projects.
Make a new project in CC, then import your CS6 project into that project. See if that helps.

Your FPS is most likely your problem. What are your sequence settings and export settings?
You are mixing a number of different frame rates – that don’t necessarily work well together – within one sequence.

Are you saying they perform worse when using Metal rather than software only? Hasn’t been my experience with a trash can and metal on my work Mac. I think performance is better than my PC (been working mostly at home on my personal PC for nearly a year now). My PC should have a slight edge based on cpu and gpu installed. The 2013 Mac Pro has been a workhorse for me with UHD ProRes, 4k h264, and other HD files mixed in projects. Even though I really have no preference between PC or Mac, I’m actually kind of missing my mac. But, yeah, never had any issue with metal and the Mac Pro.

You would need connections and upconvert capabilities. I believe the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle can do what you need. But I think will cost around $200, unless you find a used one on ebay or something.

OK. But is there an edit at the point it goes to black. Could be a piece of video that has some kind of issue/corrupt. If it is at an edit, look at any plugins or effects and turn them off one at a time to see if that changes the render. Or could be the video clip at that point. May need to transcode that clip and re-insert into your sequence. You can always use in/outs to render just a small portion to see if anything is changing at that point.
You have a sequence in/out selected, I assume you wanted that? Couple of things on your render I would change. You don’t need “Use Maximum Render Quality” selected – that benefits when changing your image size. And I would try dropping that bitrate down some on an h264 file.
I’m assuming this plays back fine on your timeline. Have you tried rendering your previews on your timeline, then using the previews on export? It’s that checkbox to the right of Maximum Render Quality. One old trick to manage a full preview render is to add an adjustment layer or something to the top layer and put a video effect that won’t do much, but forces sequence to want a preview render. May add time, but may force it through.
These are all just things to look at to see what could be causing the issue.

Is there anything at the mark it fails? Like a graphic or something at an edit, or is it in the middle of a shot, or what? I’m wondering if there is a graphic or plugin or something that comes in at that point. And also, what are your render settings? Why would you render it out to a 40GB file? That’s not a useful size for anything.

You may have to live with some moire going on with a jacket like that, but it does depend on what you are doing with it. First off, look at it on a screen 1:1. In your screen shot, you are at 1/4 resolution and set to fit – which will re-size your window to fit. Look at it at Full size and full image quality and see if you still have the moire effect. When you render out, high compression codecs may give you less desirable results. It may be possible to garbage matte his jacket and give a slight blur on it to help.
Good Luck!

Yes. At 15 with Max 30, you will get a pretty big file. You can get away with something a whole lot closer to 7.5 with Max 10. But I don’t know what target size you are aiming for. If it’s going onto a web site, you can also put it on YouTube or Vimeo or something and just use a player from there. That’s another option.

What are your mp4 settings you are using to export? And what image size are you exporting to? The mov won’t matter. Everything is getting rendered down and compressed on export. It will be your settings that specify how large a file you get.
