The infamous GPU render Error -1609629695

This issue was prioritized and tests indicate it should be fixed in 26.3. If you are still having issues in 26.3.2 or 27 Beta, please make a new post following the How do I write a bug report? guidelines and tag me. Apologies for the inconvenience.

sooooooooooo can someone from Adobe actually chime in on whether or not this is being investigated? because it's been happening for literally years at this point.

I've given you guys over $3,000 in subscription fees since this issue cropped up, and it's still there. With the amount of times it's happened, and the number of times I've had to restart very long video encodes, I've undoubtely wasted hundreds of hours trying to debug this. Meanwhile you're just swimming in our cash, twiddling your thumbs.

GET TO WORK ON THIS AND FIX IT.

2025 still happening. Really not good enough from Adobe.

When you have to use Warp on a bunch of clips, yea, what a pain. But save your sanity ... if at all possible, don't go to export with clips with Warp applied. Get Warp analyzed, then do a render & replace to ProRes422 or something adequate for your needs. 

For a 1080 web deliverable, ProResLt would probably be entirely adequate.

That way the export doesn't have to work through the Warp effect also ... it's just creating the new media.

Your other questions ... more a matter of preference. Do them each way, see what you prefer.

I'm wondering if smart rendering is worth the time commitment when you have a good PC. I'm almost maxxed out with my current pc specs in terms of perfrormance. Also the GPU error in my case is caused 100% by the wrap stabilizer for some reason. I don't mind it for corporate videos that are like 3-4 minutes because i can solve the problem easily. The problem is with longer projects (30-40m) that there are multiple warp stabilizer effectrs and i need to address everyone individually when it doesn't render.

Also one last question about frame rates. After i export the 'Master file' which is the match preview sequence settings one for smart render, can i then export 25p in the media encoder h.264? Also do i always export GoPro cineform for Master file or apple pro ress?

Your footage is always "50p" ... and you always export to 25p ... must be in PAL lands?

I'm curious as to the why, as we all work differently. And it's fascinating. Are you doing so, so that you can slo-mo anything ... or ... ?

@Kevin-Monahan is the smart render expert around these parts, hopefully he can pop in with your answer.

What if my footage is 50p but I want to export to 25p? How can I smart render if footage doesn't match the sequence settings? My sequence is set to 50p and I always export 25p. 

This is an issue with apparently various things that set it off. Most all of them actually something fixed on that machine.

So basic troubleshooting rules apply:  OS/CPU/RAM/GPU, DPU driver, and the media used at a minimum.

You've already answered that no other affect is in use, thanks. Help us help you.

Hi. 

I'm only using warp here. no other effects. Same issue as everyone else, for so many years. So, how long for a fix?
