After Effects Project Rendering Error

Hello,

Recently I've been learning how to edit and after working on a project for two days, I get an Output Module Error while rendering for about 9 minutes. I've even tried rendering in AME, but also get an error over there as well that states:

 

- Encoding Time: 00:08:34
04/20/2020 06:02:34 PM : Encoding Failed
------------------------------------------------------------
Export Error
Error compiling movie.

Accelerated Renderer Error

Unable to produce frame.

Writing with exporter: H.264
Writing to file: \\?\D:\After_Effects\Clips2\unrcomp\Video2_AME\Comp 1.mp4
Writing file type: H264
Around timecode: 00;01;58;29 - 00;01;59;03
Rendering at offset: 119.036 seconds
Component: H.264 of type Exporter
Selector: 9
Error code: -1609629695

 

Output Module Error Statement: Rendering error. An output module failed. The file may be corrupted or damaged

 

I don't believe the project to be all that complicated, there are a couple of transition effects here and there as well as a bit of time remapping throughout the entire video. The video length is nearly 7 minutes long though that may not be a contributor either. My PC isn't anywhere near half decent, but my previous project had similar effects so why does this occur?

 

My Computer Specs:

RAM: 8GB (5.94 Usable due to what I've been told are Integrated Graphics)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics

GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that you getting an error when you try to export your After Effects project.

Did you try Mylenium's suggestion? If that didn't help then check what do you have in the Timeline around timecode: 00;01;58;29 - 00;01;59;03 as mentioned in the export error. Remove if you have any effect or transition at that timecode and see if it brings any change.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Start by disabling hardware accelerated encoding in AME and also check the relevant hardware acceleration settings in AE, including also updating your graphics drivers if necessary.
