One of my songs was remixed - to make a music video for the remix I am remixing a bunch of proshot and edited music videos and some b roll from those shoots, as well as some screen records from OBS. The project is audio and numerous clips. Total length 5:50, only one clip in the whole project has an effect which is a gaussian blur at 3:56 ( so much further than %48). Yesterday the project was rendered with no problems. Today I cleaned up the project by removing all unused clips that were there for "maybe -just in case" and buried in unseen tracks. So now when I go to render today the project is much cleaner and less dense, but now it won't render.
Aty around %48 of the time line there is nothing unusual at all-
I should add that when it gets stuck at %48 and I cancel render - the program crashes.
I'd re-encode whatever media is at 48% and see if you have better luck with this. You can use ShutterEncoder or Handbrake and then right click on the media and replace the file.
During the render, VP preview window will show you the frame it is rendering, you might find it useful to determine the exact frame the causes VP to hang. Good luck.
