For the last few days this project has been giving me some grief. Here's the issue.
3840 x 2160 Timeline, Hardware Encoding to H.264. No problem. I add in a few transitions that are using the following effects:
- Transform
- Replicate
- Mirror
These transitions mimic the effect of "swiping" which is useful for my project.
Now, every time I turn on Hardware encoding, the entire project will not display ANY preview files or ANY video in any of the windows, the Source Panel nor the Program Window, neither playing nor paused.
When paused, the video will briefly display on my third monitor (using fullscreen playback). This is the only way I can see the project with CUDA enabled.
Originally when I was exporting the file, with Hardware Encoding on -- it would give me the error: h.264 error rendering video:
Export Error
Error completing render.
Writing with exporter: H.264
Writing to file: xx
Writing file type: H264
Around timecode: 00:00:26:12
Component: H.264 of type Exporter
Selector: 9
Error code: 3
I could at least SEE the video then. Today, no luck. Completely black.
I can see the video and choppily play it back when I have CUDA off, but my exports (for a 30s video) takes 2 hours instead of 30 seconds.
Am I doomed here? Why is Hardware enabled acceleration broken for me at this moment?
I've tried importing the project into a new project, clearing the cache completely, updating drivers, exporting to new locations -- nothing is working.
Please help.
