I am rendering a project from after effects into AME. Initially i was getting crashes on a certain stock image so i reduced the size by 50% in photoshop, then replaced it. It went through that section but failed at another image. I did the same thing and it went through fine. Then, it started crashing at the start of a 1920x1080 stock footage clip. I only have time warp on the clip. Settings changed are, Speed: 67.00 Vector Detail: 50.00 Smoothing Iterations: 50.00 Block Size: 4. I've used these settings elsewhere in the past and it rendered fine. I tried using an older user to render it out. With the collected files it renders on the newest user (which the crashes occur on), for 2 min and 50 sec and then at the same frame each time it crashes. Rendering on the old user (no crashes), it would take 20 min to get to the same exact frame in the project, but it wouldn't crash. It would go right through where it would fail. I would just render through this but 25 min on a 3 min render doesn't seem like a great compromise. I tried collecting the files and trying it on a separate computer with better specs, it rendered through the part fine in a normal amount of time. I then decided to do a fresh install of the os, and wipe the hard drive. Doing so and reinstalling all my programs, i tried to render it once again... still a crash. This makes me think that it may be hardware, but if there is a deeper issue i don't know about it would be nice to have an easy fix for this.
