Hey guys , weird problem I faced few weeks ago till now , after I'd finished my animation project with character animator ( it's formed of 6 scenes  ) and I sent it to Media Encoder to render it , every time I render this project first 3 scenes get rendered well but from fourth one to the end don't get rendered , every time Media Encoder starts to freeze at that fourth scene to the end or if it rendered them it RENDER THEM WRONGLY  and when I watch them I can only see the first 3 scenes are well rendered but the other 3 gets mixed weirdly together and video goes black and when I checked my project in Character Animator to check it's from the project itself but video plays well and good and nothing's wrong but when I rendered always the last there scenes gets rendered wrongly and weird .

Is this common problem ? or It's media Encoder because lots of people now suffering from AME . Can you explain to me guys ?

Thank You

BTW my animation project is  4 minutes and 35 seconds and it takes 4 hours to be rendered

& I use   H.264 to render

    Are you rendering the scenes to separate movie files, or do you render all your scenes in a single mega scene to get one video file for it all?  I think it was Dan Tull who recently said there was a memory usage issues (its hungry!) for long videos. So it may be better to export the scenes one by one (creating a video file per scene). Then join them together with Prem Pro. It also means if you get a crash, you only have to redo the one scene - not all of them.

    If you are rendering the scenes separately already (sorry, it was not clear to me), when you say the 4th one fails, is it the 4th scene of 6 in your project? Or is it whatever you render 4th? E.g. if you render the scenes in reverse order, where does it fail?

    I personally create lots of short scenes named (1-1-1, 1-1-2, etc - part, location, camera shot) then export each one to a file with the same name. So lots of fairly short files. Then I join them with Prem Pro. That way if I need to change one scene, I only have to rerender that one file and not the whole project.

    If none of the above is on track, could you explain a bit more about what you are doing? Thanks!
