After Effects project WILL NOT render!

I spent about 7 hours making a three minute long video, and when I went to render it, it failed at the one minute mark-- where there was a rotation transition. I removed the transition and it progressed through smoothly, only to fail at the next transition. I removed ALL transitions, copy and pasted the files into a different composition, and even tried it on another computer. No luck. Please help me ASAP, this edit is important and time sensitive.

    No, he asked my GPU... Error code is -1609629695, it says failed in media encoder.

    Try rendering out of the After Effects render queue into an intermediate codec (DNxHR, Cineform, etc.) and see if that renders okay. If so, great! Take the resulting file into AME to make the MP4.

    All transitions used easy ease and anchor point/rotation/scale. v15.1.1.

    That's odd.

    What GPU do you have?

    (Also, you might consider updating AE. You're missing some bug fixes that are in the latest update.)

    How did you make these "transitions"?

    What version of AE (down to the decimal)?

    Other than Michael's suggestion, goto the Project Settings (CTRL+SHIFT_ALT+K) to disable GPU Rendering in the Video Rendering & Effects tab — see if this helps.
