Render video export not working [2019]

I encountered an issue with Photoshop on my MacPro and had hoped that upgrading to a new computer would solve the problem. However, even with my current up-to-date MacMini (2020, M1, 8GB RAM, Photoshop CC2023, 24.1.1), the issue still arises occasionally. Fortunately, I have found a solution that works for me every time:

1. Quit Photoshop.
2. Open Creative Cloud.
3. Sign out of Creative Cloud.
4. Restart Creative Cloud.
5. Sign back into Creative Cloud.
6. Open Photoshop and render the video.

By following these steps, I can get it to run smoothly for a while. When it fails again, I simply repeat the above process, and everything goes back to normal - until the next time it stalls.

I re-installed the earliest verion of Photoshop available on the Adobe cloud subscription and that 

worked for me. Now I can render videos normally.

Close both photoshop AND bridge.  Restart photoshop (DO NOT restart bridge).  Seems to work everytime.  No idea why.

In case there are users of M1/Apple Silicon in this thread, they should update to Ps 23.4:Rosetta is not needed as videos now work in the native mode: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/whats-new/2022-3.html#other-enhancements

This problem happened on my PC and I have figured out how to solve it. I hope this solution work out for you guys.

Step 1. Download appropriate media feature pack. Find the proper version here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions 

If you’re not sure which Windows 10 version you currently have installed, follow the steps below:

1. Press the Windows key and type “about” in the search box.
2. Click on About this PC to open the About tab of the Settings app.
3. In the About screen, scroll down to Windows specifications and discover your Windows version under Edition.
   
    
    

Step 2. Run command prompt as admin. Enter this command:

    dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:MediaPlayback

 Step 3. Restart pc. Render Video in Photoshop should run by now.

I'm having the same problem. I don't do a lot of videos but this is distressing.

I render frame sequences daily from Photoshop of turntables for dailies, and since upgrading to 22.x, video will not render. Have tried these workarounds, to no avail. A progressbar does not appear, just get spinning balls in win10 😞

This is a critical part of my workflow, sad that it is not working in the latest version, but thankfully can install 21.x still. 

Any hope of this being resolved? Would love to stay up to date with Photoshop, but I can't if it cannot export video as easily and simply as it does. 

Hello,

I hope that the video functionality in PS will not follow the same way as 3D features which are now discontinued.

Regards.

Had the same issue. It turned out it happened only when I had Bridge opened in the same time. Once I shut down Bridge and saved the video to desktop (not Dropbox that I used til then) it worked fine. Hope it will help you too 🙂

Anytime I have issues rendering video I do one thing... and this as dumb as it sounds usually is the issue.

I look for updates for my computer's operating system.  Then I do the update.  This usually solves any rendering issue that I have.  Now I can not say this works 100% all the time.  But is something that I noticed.

Trust me... I literally poop myself for five minutes trying to figure out what went wrong.  Then I look to see if there is an update... which there usually is.  I install the update and everything works again.

I know this is so so so odd.  But check it out and let me know.
