Question

Fails to render WebM

Hey,
2 days ago my Media Encoder started to run into problems when rendering WebM files.
I use the export option of After Effects to export WebM files with the Media Encoder and it's been working well up until recently, where it started to fail with the following error message:

------------------------------------------------------------
 - Encoding Time: 00:02:11
03/15/2022 11:44:11 AM : Encoding Failed
------------------------------------------------------------
Export Error
Error compiling movie.

Accelerated Renderer Error

Unable to produce frame.

Writing with exporter: WebM
Writing to file: F:\Designs\Personen\Mikkyway\ENDING.webm
Around timecode: 00:00:10:06
Rendering at offset: 10,250 seconds
Component: WebM of type Exporter
Selector: 9
Error code: -1609629695

------------------------------------------------------------

 I've tried to reinstall the WebM plugin and also did a fresh install of After Effects and Media Encoder and it worked for one moment, before it started failing again once I booted up After Effects on the next day.
It is also happening on different projects. Other export formats such as H.264 into mp4 work completly fine.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Quick update:
When opening the Media Encoder program and loading the entire project into Media Encoder, the render works just fine. It only fails when exporting from After Effects into Media Encoder.
