Wrong render output when rendering multiple composition with different resolution in the same queue

I'd like to report an issue we are facing since After Effects 22.4 and 22.5 (it doesn't affect AE 22.3) on two different workstations running macOS 12.4 Monterey.
This, by the way, doesn't happen on a windows 10 workstation.

The problem is easily reproducible. In a project, create 3 compositions with different aspect ratio, 1920x1080, 1080x1080, 1080x1920 .
When you queue the composition in this order 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, the last rendered (9:16) seems to be squashed in a 1:1 ratio, with a green rectangle at the bottom.
When rendering in 16:9,9:16, 1:1, the last rendered (1:1) outputs to a corrupted file. I'm rendering to prores quicktime files.
I uploaded a frame from the wrong the 9:16 output.

Getting the same issue as this in AE, as well as a similar issue in AME when I try to render a 1080x1350 (4:5) file. (see my prores output transcoded to mp4 attached)

Interestingly, my option for "Enable ProRes hardware accelerated encoding..." is grayed out!

Also on macOS 12.4 as of a couple days ago.

Thank you for reporting this Michele!

What you have hit here is a bug in our ProRes Hardware Accelerated encoding. We are actively working on a fix for this.

In the meantime, the workaround for the issue is to disable "Enable ProRes hardware accelerated encoding, if available" in AE's Output Preferences.
