Trouble Exporting Animation in After Effects in Media Encoder

Hi all,

 

I am trying to export my animation that I've worked on for months in After Effects, but it continues to fail when putting it into Media Encoder. I was having issues originally with even editing the animation in after effects, saying timewarp is out of memory, or that it couldn't render my video. I've tried deleting all of my cache and using suggestions in other posts but nothing seems to be working.

 

Here is the information sent to me about why the export failed:

Hi all,

 

I was able to figure out my issue! There was an issue with one of the files in my animation and so that's why it had trouble exporting.

 

Thanks!

No, it doesn't export anywhere despite the container it's in.
