Whenever I export my video it just exports colored bars even though when I scrub through the .mov file in AE 2020 it scrubs fine. What am I doing wrong... See colored bars at bottom, note no audio comes through either when I try and play the file in the rendered version. I've also tried the YouTube Format with no success.... all footage shot on an iphone

Error or problem

One of the files may be corrupt. It happened to me. I just changed it and everything exported fine.

I solved this! I'm on a Mac, at some point I must have denied After Effects access to my downloads folder (where my files were located), after allowing access it's working again!

To check if after effects and media encoder have access, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Files and Folders

I am having the same problem... Tried to remove everything and place them together... still get this weird result. Note: I never moved any file

After spending hours trying to solve this issue, I realized that all my source files was being saved on a OneDrive folder, which was having cloud uploading issues. I simply moved all my files (even the AE file) to a root folder like "Documents" and linked the footages again. Worked flawlessly 🙆🏽‍♂

Try this workaround:

quick After effects and Media encoder ,

then create a new comp place the video and render it again.

When rendering, all source files must stay at their original places, where you've imported they from. Otherwice, encoder can't find them and generates these color bars.

Hey, I am facing this problem aswell. How did you fix it. How did you solve this problem? It's really annoying since it was working perfectly before.
