Stager and rendering

make sure you dont have any weird characters in the file output name - i had a "&" and it hung and never rendered, once i figured out to keep the filename normal characters i had no problem. basic letters and numbers only. 

When you ask for help for specific issues, try sharing screenshot & details of your software and operating system settings.  

Doing a search for the specific issue with your specific software / os settings is usually good when figuring out problems too.  I understand that can be a challenge too, when we don't even know - what we don't know yet.

It's challenging to guess what your issue is with any software - when you don't include screenshot & details of your specific situation.

I will say the Stager Video Tutorials from Adobe have been super helpful for quickly being able to render.  I ran into trouble, but ended up just pushing all the buttons, render > until I finally found a setting in stager that would make a render happen for me on my machine.  If I run into future issues, I will probably search google, youtube, behance, adobe, etc to help me out and keep pushing buttons to find out what software settings will work for my own specific situation and operating system too.  

I hope this helps you overcome the feeling of 'not being an engineer'.  Even engineers practice what I mention above - maybe it will be a good practice for your situation too?
