Could you post a screenshot of your timeline and another one of your render settings?

Check that the length of your entire project is less than two minutes.

how to lessen length?

By using your editing skills to reduce the length of the project on the timeline to under 2 minutes. If your project is much longer than 2 minutes, save the project under a new name and then delete the excess video and audio until there is less than 2 minutes on the timeline. Please take into account that the aim of the trial version is simply to give you a sample (trial) of the rendering options.

You need to remove anything and everything after the end of the 'less than 2 minutes' project - and that includes markers. The markers on the timeline are making the project longer than 2 minutes.

As @Dexcon says, after a bit less than two minutes, there must be nothing in your project. Press Ctrl+End to see where your project actually ends.

where the marker still moving? I think @NAZIRASYAFIKAH-ROZLAN is confused by the playhead (which he calls the marker) automatically playing a few seconds after the end of the project. I think that he thinks because of this, that the project is more than 2 minutes.

I think there is no need to remove everything after the 2 min mark to be able to make a testrender with the trial. Just make a loop region (less than 2 min) of the part of your project that you want to testrender and render that loop region.

Re the total project needing to be under 2 minutes, vkmast has provided this self-explanatory link a few times this year re the 2 mins issue:

I've figured it out if anyone cares about this issue or looks for an answer.

I wasn't notified of this limitation until I tried to render the video, which may not be fair, but it's a trial version after all.

So I deleted all media after the 2 minute mark, but it had the same issue. I couldn't find anything, all tracks were empty. Well, it looked empty at least.

I have never seen this option mentioned before, found this by accident.

Go into Options<Quantize to Frames<Show Unquantized Event Edges

It will show you the events that you cannot see otherwise for some reason. Take a look at your tracks once again, it may show something you haven't seen before.

You must remove the newly discovered events or move them within the 2 minute mark. Rendering should work.

I hope I helped.

@Himer-Peter That won't always work. You can get a list of events on the timeline. Open the Details window, CTRL-ALT-4, or from the menu View > Window > Edit Details. Change the filter from "selected events" to just "events". You will get a list of all events on the timeline, track-by-track, and their position on the timeline.

CTRL-ALT-END will take you to the last event on timeline.
