I have a problem where I can't render my composition (4K, 23.976, Quicktime 4444XQ, ~184 frames). When I hit render, it renders like 2 frames for 2 minutes and then stops, while the output is the 2 frames plus a black video through the rest of the supposed duration. I tried other encoders and formats, deleting cache, restarting, safe mode, multi-frame on/off, software only, Media Encoder, disabling effects... I have a lot of 4K overlays and stuff in my comp, but same as other that has a lot too while rendering fine. Please help and let me know if I should upload my project file.

Hi there!

Sorry about the issue. Can you share your system details (OS, CPU, RAM, GPU)? Does it happen with a particular project? Is this issue file-specific?

Let us know.

Thanks,

Kartika

System specs:

Windows 10 Pro.

CPU: Intel Core i5 9400.

GPU: Intel 630 UHD Graphics.

RAM: 32Gb.

I also tried updating my drivers and did not worked. What i ended up doing is exporting it as a JPEG sequence on AME, which resulted in a non expected "choppy" render after i compiled it into a video with AE's render queue (i didn't mismatched the frame rate settings (23.976)). But i would like to give this particular problem a solution if ever happens again. Also this has only happened on this very project and it may have to do with the fact that there's a 4K 1:1 asset with alpha, but i really doubt it. Please let me know if I should upload this project.
