Strange cropped/repeated edge when exported in media encoder

For some reason media encoder changes the position and repeats a section of my composition when exporting.

After effects Preview

Media encoder output



This issue occured when I tired to render the composition in Quicktime Format. It affects the output of the video, and when I try to switch back to H.264, the updated position+repeated edge persist.

I managed to replicate this exact issue with a totally different composition using the same steps which makes me think its a media encoder issue.

    Here Is also a brand new project, with nothing but a solid & shape layer.

    -As it appears in After effects

    -As it appears in media encoder preview

      Did you manage to sort this? I have the same issue. Uninstalled After Effects & Media Encoder and still no fix.

          My first guess is that you have a 3D layer and the composition viewer is not set to Active Camera.

           

          My second guess is that you have an adjustment layer set as a guide layer. 

           

          Without seeing a screenshot of the comp and timeline with the modified properties of each layer revealed (press 'uu'), we can only guess. Share that and we can probably help you figure it out.

          Hi Rick,
          The aqua are unchanged video files, and the green are precomps with little animations tracked into the footage.

           

          You can see that when viewing the same moment in Media Encoder, the edge mysteriously appears.
          It appears over every single frame whether it's only the video or a nested comp.
          I've discovered that the same problem is persisting in projects that i haven't opened in days too. Every export is messed up.  I appreciate your help.

          Update! I'm almost sure it's a bug, after trying a fresh reinstall I switched to the previous Media encoder update and the problem dissapeared.
