The infamous GPU render Error -1609629695

The bane of many an editor. I encounter this bug at least once a day. If this happens in the middle of a render, the entire thing fails. (Thank Adobe for smart rendering, at least!)
The best workaround I've been able to come up with, is to ALWAYS render timeline previews. I use cineform, and so the final, smart render, is very fast.

Here is a long forum thread about it. This bug has been a problem for many years: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2171535

This is Unique ID 160 on my Premiere problems spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dVJb7kI_ZETLavrplfARgn9gL8HUpvkq6A0jCPxqA3w/edit#gid=1133868629

Really annoying! I just bought a MacBook pro for £5000 with the M3 Max chip, and I'm facing this issue which seems to have been around for years.
I have tried all the suggestions and still nothing doing.
Is there someone I can speak to directly?

Okay, it's getting ridiculous. I'm not able to export from After Effects via Media Encoder anymore. I tried my luck with three different projects that all have a completely different timeline, different effects, everything. The export fails no matter what. Please, how am I supposed to work professionally with this software? Our clients don't care why we can't meet a deadline, we can't tell them "Well... The biggest software for motion graphics on the market isn't able to export your film. Sorry."

Pre-render everything takes time and disk space. Please fix this.

The reason you're experiencing this error is due to a dropped frame. Find the frame, cut it and you will be able to render.

Bill Luton's idea worked for me. Thank you, Bill! Perhaps the Warp Stabilizer sometimes corrupts a frame, maybe when speed or transitions are used (I had both). That corrupt frame might prevent the processing.

Happens to me at least once per project. I've had it happen when there's no video on screen. Done everything under the sun to mitigate this but resigned to believe it's all down to a coin-flip. Will the gods smile down on your render, or will you be smote? Only time will tell.

If the error comes from the Adobe native exporter you could try AfterCodecs Exporter https://www.autokroma.com/AfterCodecs

this error is killing me!

Been spending 3 bloody days on a 20 sec. vid that kept failing. First only managed to render at 480p.

Minimized the amount of comps, effects and other bells/whistles to finally get a 720p render.

Played around with GPU/nonGPU rendering and bitrate to finally randomly have it succeed at 1080p

To get it to 4K, I had to divide up the 20 secs in 4 pieces of various lengths, rendered those seperately, recombined them, again fiddled with the export settings and it finally worked!

Mod note: edited for content. Please avoid profanity.

So, what I discovered is that there is a dropped frame in the video when I applied Video Transitions. I had 8 fails in a row and so I started watching it being processed in the Media Encoder and where it failed. I slow scrubbed in that area and a black screen would appear. I stopped in the balck frame and applied the Razor Tool and rescrubbed to make sure there was no dropped frame. Boom, it worked... at least for me and stopped the GPU fail..

This is beyond frustrating. It's unfortunate to see that this was and still is an issue after so long. I really wish it would just work reliably so I don't have to stress about my edits all the time at work
