If you want, I can draft a shorter troubleshooting checklist for quick reference, or produce step-by-step ffmpeg commands tailored to a specific source file—tell me the file’s codec, container, frame rate, resolution, and audio layout.
Sometimes corrupted render files cause export failures. Go to and try exporting again.
: This is the most frequent culprit. If your project is set to a frame rate or resolution that the chosen exporter doesn't support (e.g., trying to export 59.94p video as an
