Premiere Pro Rendering Issue while using Time Interpolation: Optical Flow

Recently I've been working on a project that uses a lot of slowed down clips. Someone recommended that I set the time interpolation to Optical Flow to make the clips less jittery. As soon as I did that, I couldn't render those parts of the video. Premiere wouldn't crash, it just didn't render those frames. I even send it to Media Encoder and as soon as it got to the very first frame where time interpolation was set to optical flow it just stopped. My rendering has been going for over an hour now and its just stuck on this one frame. The app isn't frozen at all, it just won't render these frames.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've been experiencing a similar issue (since PP v12.0.0 and now including PP v12.0.1) in which trying to render an Optical Flow clip would lock up my entire system in an OS freeze/crash — and also, both Frame Blending and Optical Flow (if I could manage to get it to not freeze/crash) will do nothing when exported, whether I export using Premiere or AME, but instead the clips render using Frame Selection (i.e. remains jittery & appears to have no effect).

If restarting doesn't work try clearing your media cache: FAQ: How to clean media cache files?

I hate to say it,  but have you tried turning it off and on again? In similar situations (stuck renders/exports)  I find restarting my PC fixes the issue.
