After Effects Squishing and Green Bar when Rendering

[Josh5CBB]

Can someone please help. When I try rendering in any aspect ratio that isnt 16:9 the video is squishing into the top half and then a green bar is appearing thorughout the whole render in the bottom.

This is happening to me too - but only on ProRes 4444 renders and not ProRes 422.  I'm on AE 22.5.0 (Build 53) on a Mac Studio.  Would love to know the solve for this as well.

Hi Josh & shaboi,

Sorry for your issue.

Can you try the suggestion provided in the following thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/emergency-after-effects-random-color-subtle...

Let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

Nishu

Thanks Nishu. I was having the exact same problem with green bars on a ProRes 4444 render on Mac Studio with AE 22.6. The workaround of disabling hardware accelerated decoding fixed the problem for me. Is this a known bug, or should I submit it somewhere?

Oops, I have to correct myself. The workaround helped with my renders that were in aspect ration 1080x1350, but I'm still getting big green bars in the 1080x1920 renders.
