Render error code: -1609629690

Hi,

I'm having a serious issue with exporting media. Please help me!

--------------

Export Error

Error compiling movie.

Accelerated Renderer Error

Unable to produce frame.

Writing with exporter: H.264

Writing to file: /Volumes/G-Drive/004_GGZ Wageningen_2018-11-27/02_Export/1.4 Edit- Volwassenen GGZ-_2.mp4

Writing file type: H264

Around timecode: 00:01:21:31 - 00:01:21:47

Rendering at offset: 81,620 seconds

Component: H.264 of type Exporter

Selector: 9

Error code: -1609629690

------------------

This is the situation:

I'm working in a project which is a long-term project of 3 movies. I created the project last december and finished already 2 movies early january. For the 3rd film I had to wait for some extra shooting and I started editing about 2 weeks ago. From this extra material I used some for the elder movies, which I edited earlier, and re edit them.

Exporting the latest movie, with the new clips, doesn't give this error. But the other two movies just won't export! It makes me go mad!  I have been trying for hours to find a solution for this error/ bug

I tried lots of different things:

restart

export to quicktime (while rendering my computer freezes and crash)

relink the media

import the MOGRT files again

duplicate the project.

Put the project on the HDD of my IMAC. For my edit I use a G-drive external HDD

Update premiere to version 13.03

Please, help me fix this error!

You need to fix whatever is on the timeline at the given time in the error.

Can be anything: faulty clip, audio, transition, you name it,

Delete section,

reboot,

do it again.

See how that goes.

Thank you Ann,

I'l try again an let you know if it works.

Adobe support just spent two hours fixing this issue. It was a problem with the graphic card.

Edit by Moderator:
The editor chose Project Settings > General > Renderer > Mercury Playback Engine - Software Only to work around the issue.

Why this worked:

• With Software Only mode, the GPU is bypassed so the video can be rendered and exported without it.
  • A Software Only export will take much longer, however.
  • Typically, the fix involves purchase of a more powerful GPU if your warning contains any reference to a GPU accelerated process, like Lumetri.
  • Another workaround would be to use smart rendering, which involves changing the rendering codec to a smart rendering one, like ProRes, then checking the "Using Previews" option when exporting, and using ProRes as the output codec instead of H.264.
• In this thread, some editors have also experienced the error by
  • Including a punctuation mark in the output naming of the file.
  • Using oversized still images. The technique is to prep images so that they are no larger than twice your sequence size prior to importing them.

What was the issue and the fix with graphic card ?

[tazztone]

i have the same error when i use CUDA acceleration. what's the matter with my GTX 960 (2GB)?

[tanjas95445528]

Last january i upgraded my system to Mojave. Unfortunelaty there is no upgrade available of the drivers of GTX ** to Mojave. So the graphic card doesn't work properly in Mojave.

I did the render and export without using the hardware. This tutorial was really handy:

Premiere Pro: "Unable To Render" FIX - YouTube

[Ann Bens]

The tutorial is not a fix but rather a workaround.

[DCanadian]

THANK YOU so much for posting the link to this tutorial!!!!

[Dko]

How can I discover what I need

To fix?

"Adobe support just spent two hours fixing this issue. It was a problem with the graphic card."

How did you fix it?

I am having the same issue, I have the latest drivers on my gpu and the latest version of premiere. 

[robertd43652856]

Yup same issue here too would love to know how they did it

[Kevin-Monahan]

If you are experiencing this error, Robert, it's one of two things—usually. You have a corrupt preview file or clip at the Timecode indicated. The other thing that can happen is that you have too many GPU accelerated effects applied to a complex sequence and the GPU becomes overloaded and times out in this manner. What can help is to describe your computer system, OS, scratch disk, and media you are working with.

Thanks,
Kevin

I managed to find a work around as I narrowed it down to one particular PNG image - I opened the image in PS, saved it as a jpeg then relinked the png file in after fx to the new jpg file which solved the issue. It wouldn't have been due to any complex effects as the time within the composition that was causing the issue had only one simple liniar wipe effect (whereas other parts of the comp had much more complex and intensive effects).

I have come across this issue before though and it seems to have multiple things that can trigger it.

I had this problem in Premiere Rush.  Turns out it was a JPG image.  But I didn't have to resave it.  I had to drag it into the editor from an open folder on my desktop instead of linking to or importing through the media panel.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Bobby,

You should switch to Project Settings > General > Renderer: GPU Acceleration Metal. This should work all the way up until Mojave. Catalina and later, you might need a new GPU. A 2013 Mac is pretty old and NVIDIA drivers are now obsolete, making the GPU obsolete as well.

Time to treat yourself to a new Mac.

Regards,
Kevin

hi, im having the same problem right now. Did you eventually solve the issue?... I need help ASAP

[Zufo]

I just resolved my Error code -1609629695 My error message was Rendering effect: AE.ADBE Geometry. I explored every frame in the timecode estimate provided in the message and found a single frame that was going black due to a text motion effect I was using with a color block swiping out of the scene. Something in the effect was causing the entire scene to blackout for 1 frame. When I deleted that color block from the effect, the problem was solved. Hope that helps anyone.

Do you have a Ae comp in the timeline as in Geometry?

[robertd43652856]

I've also got the same error code.
Details of my particular project/setup are here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/quot-accelerated-renderer-error-unable-to-produce-frame...

Hello There, I'm not sure this will be useful for you b'cuse you asked before 6 months, but if some one have same issue recently this also can be solution:

solution 1: Recheck your imported presets ( downloaded transition or effects from internet ) some of effects not supporting. 

Solution 2: Resize your video size ( for example:  1080X608 to try some other different size )

i had some issue i tried both of them it works for me!

[Paula5C4F]

Hey!! I think someone said this already but... what I did to solve this problem is:

Instead of exporting the video right from premier, I sent it to adobe media encoder (I think everyone do this but I just found out... jaja). There... I preview the file while it's being encoded. The error kept occurring in the same second of the timeline so... I basically "redid" that part (no really, simply re-import some files, etc) until the error stopped.

In my case... I had trouble with 2 .png files with a lot of transparent, overlapping, unnecessary space. I drove them to photoshop, cut them a little, saved them, and reimport them. I don't know if cutting them was really necessary or simply reimporting a new version of the .png would have worked... but... that's how I solved this problem. Hope you guys did too!!

[Vidur S.]

I had the exact same problem.

I tried fixing the problem at the timecode which the error message showed. 

For example - "Around timecode: 00:01:21:31 - 00:01:21:47" in the case the author has listed. 

In my case, the error was being displayed because of a JPEG file because it had a " ' " in the name (this is what I guess, I'm not sure). As soon as I fixed the name and relinked the file, the error was gone. 

But then Premiere found some other error a few minutes later. I fixed that and then a new error. At this point, I just gave up. A full day of editing wasted. 

The next day, there were a few things I felt needed to be adjusted in the video and so I ended up trimming 4 seconds off the video. My 09:43 minute video was now 09:39 minutes. 

I figured trying to render it once more wouldn't hurt, so I initiated the export and viola! The export happened like breeze. 

This is what I suggest to all people facing this issue. Most of us can trim at least 2-4 seconds off our videos. Doing this will fix this irritating issue. 

Try it and let me know if it works for you. 

Cheers.

SOLVED: a lumetri key frame caused me this issue , after been removes, everything is OK
