export stuck on encoding

[Mark347712725nif]

Export gets stuck on different percentages each time i try to render. 

Im not sure if it has something to do with my dynamic links. But some times it makes it to 20% then freezes, makes it to 5% then freezes,  etc. Furthest it has made was 20%. 

I tried to so many methods online for the past two days. This is my last resort.

try to delete render files from sequence, also consider cleaning media cache

and purge all memory and disk cache in After Effects if you have dynamic linking.

if it doesn't work, try to export to something other than H.264, like QuickTime.

Also try to change sequence video preview settings to QuickTime rather than H.264.

Are you using Media Encoder by the way? check render settings (Software Only or GPU Accl?)

[Mark347712725nif]

Do I need to purge each composition in After Effects? Yes, im using media encoder. I have Software Only, GPU (CUDA) and GPU (OpenCL). I usually use GPU (CUDA).

[Carlos Ziade]

no need to purge disk cache and memory for each comp in AE

[Mark347712725nif]

I purged and tried all my render options, still stops at different times stamps when retrying

So as for the 'Also try to change sequence video preview settings to QuickTime rather than H.264.' turns out I dont have the H.264 option there, could that be my problem?

If using Adobe Media Encoder, have you tried pausing it and restarting it?

[Mark347712725nif]

i will try it 

[Peru Bob]

Please let us know if that works.

[Mark347712725nif]

[Peru Bob]

Do you get an error message?

[Mark347712725nif]

furthest ive gotten in the last 3 days od trying to export

[Carlos Ziade]

did you try to clean media cache (in both premiere pro and media encoder) and delete render files from sequence in premiere pro?

[Mark347712725nif]

yeah i did that as well. I may just have to start over at this point
