Rendering holds stops mid-time in Ae renderer and Me also

[ottot38261482]

Rendering holds/stops mid-time in Ae renderer and Me also, meanwhile, preview works fine. 

It stops repeatedly every time on the same frame.

I am using the latest Me and Ae, 

I have a top specked MacBookPro.

MacOs Catalina 10.15.4

in the logfile I have this information 

- Preset Used: Match Source - High bitrate
- Video: 1920x1080 (1,0), 30 fps, Progressive, Hardware Encoding, 00:00:12:00

- Audio: AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass, Target 10.00 Mbps
- Encoding Time: 00:00:49
11/12/2020 03:32:31 PM : Encoding Failed
-------------------------------------
The Operation was interrupted by user

- removed all markers

- tried rendering at a lower resolution

- tried rendering frame by frame

- tried removing layer by layer at the frame where it stops

nothing seems to work...

Does this happen to every rendering or just this specific one? Have you tried to switch off GPU accelleration? Same issue after reboot and deleting your cache?

[ottot38261482]

Only his specific one, Yes,  I tried to switch off GPU acceleration. No results. Rebooting is needed after it stops rendering as freezes and does not respond anymore, but the problem persists after reboot. 

I scaled down some 4K to 1080p scenes and in some cases now it renders, but only when I am rendering in Ae.

It seems that the cases when it renders now are only after a fresh restart. Clean memory I think... ?

[TobiFrei]

Yeah, memory is what I thought, too. But still wired, that your whole system freezes... instead of just after effects or me. Do you have the RAM reserved size in your prefrences on 10% of your ram (4GB with 32GB of RAM etc.)? I would try to optimize your project as much as possible. How to do this is hard to tell from this point of view... I guess you can't share the specific project or reduced project, so the community could take a look?
