Hi RoRK,

I appreciate your suggestions.

However, it turned out that the solution to this problem was far more simple than that and I was very stupid, ha ha. As the Render Queue panel had somehow just become undocked from the composition and moved below the screen, so it was not visible when I was trying to Add to Render Queue! I had spent many hours that day trying almost everything I could think of – including the old turn it on and off again technique – and I didn’t even think to simply change my workspace preset or check that the panel hadn’t just undocked.

So I feel very stupid and embarrassed, however at least if anyone ever does the same thing as me they can look at this question and check that the panel has not just been closed or moved somewhere, and they can do this by simply changing the workspace by going to the workspace panel above the comp screen and changing it. Or they can also check the panel has not been moved by restoring the display of the AE project back down to half screen, so that they can move the display around to check if the panel is there.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment, have a good day! 🙂
