Sorry to hear you're having trouble.
Sounds like you may have more than one issue.
***Effect Becomes Dim
Some effects appear different at Quarter Resolution than at Full - sometimes dramatically so. If that's what is happening here and you like what it looks like at Quarter, you'll want to find a way that you can render at Quarter Resolution while scaling back to Full. This is easy to do, but may not work well based on whatever else is happening in the Composition. To test it, add the Comp to the Render Queue with the "Best Settings" Render Settings template and the "High Quality" Output Module template. Click on Best Settings and in the Render Settings dialog box change the Resolution pop-up menu from Full to Quarter, then click OK. Back in the Render Queue, click High Quality and in the Output Module Settings dialog box enable Resize and set the "Resize to" values to the full width and height fo the Composition. Save the project and render.
***Export Failed At
There's something happening when After Effects gets to the frame that it failed at. This can be tricky to troubleshoot. If it happens at the same frame every time, you want to take a close look at what's happening at that time position in the Comp. Swapping out source footage at that time or adjusting a setting may resolve it. Sometimes it takes rendering an Image Sequence and using the Work Area to render different segments of to the Comp to get all of the frames. If it happens at different frames when you try a second, third, or forth time, there could be something happening with an effect applied to the Layer. In your screenshot, you have a Sapphire effect applied. Something to try would be to make sure that the Sapphire effects are updated. When After Effects 2022 first shipped, I experienced a lot of crashed until I updated all third party plugins (mainly those from BorisFX and Maxon).
