Rendering an 8 seconds clip

[Miroslava24081939pprv]

I have been trying render this video for a few hours and it has stayed at 00:00:01 all the time it hasn't changed or moved. This is a real issue with rendering clips in Adobe Media Encoder. Does anyone have any suggestions to speed up the process?

Pause it and then restart it.

Is there enough free hard drive space in both the export drive and the C drive?

I was finally able to render the video in a few seconds! I had to restart my computer several times and clear some things from my computer. Adobe Media Encoder is a really annoying app.

Can you elaborate what you needed to clear? I would like to learn if there is something concrete on our end that we can do to help you.

I ended up going to After Effects to File > Preferences > Media and Disk Cache > Conformed Media Cache > Clean Database & Cache. I also went to Media Encoder to Edit > Preferences > Media > Media Cache Database > Clean. I also deleted some files from my desktop but I don't know if that influenced the speed of the rendering. I also had to restart my computer several times.
