Hello, I am using fusion 9

I tried to render a comp with 900 frames and the error message.
Render goes to internal HDD which is almost empty
Sometimes I get a message: Last frame rendered 1 or 0 with this and different comps.
When I try to render any comp my success rate is about 10%.
I copy paste nodes into a new file, restart ...but it is a frustrating process.
I switched from resolve in fusion to stand alone , because fusion 9 was supposed to bug free.

Thank you

I just ran the same render and now the last frame rendered is 185
Also my output format is quick time movies

Fu9 is far from bug free. It's just less buggy than 8 and the early builds of 15. It has plenty of GPU-related issues, and it looks like that's what you're running into here.

Since the GPU acceleration in Fusion 9 doesn't actually make anything faster (in some cases, it's actually slower), I recommend turning it off for all tools.

Here's a comp script that disables GPU and OpenCL processing for all tools in the comp:

Code: Select all

print("Disable GPU Processing")
DEBUG = false

Disable GPU v1.0
by Bryan Ray for Muse VFX
2021-06-24

Disables GPU or OpenCL processing for all tools in the comp. Useful for troubleshooting issues with network rendering or instability.
Partners with Enable_GPU_all_tools.lua

Changelog:

   v1.0, 2021-06-24: Added Fusion version detection and handling for the OpenCL controls of
      Fusion 9 and earlier.

Roadmap:
   Detect initial state of GPU controls and store it in CustomData. This will permit the user to
   skip tools that did not have GPU turned when running the partner script.

I'm 90% sure that should run in the free version of Fusion 9. If it doesn't, let me know, and I can mod it slightly.

Hopefully it at least reduces your problems.

One other thing: You're far better off rendering to an image sequence first and then encoding to video in a secondary process, preferably somewhere other than Fusion. Fusion isn't great at handling video, and the further back in versions you go the worse it is. At least when you're rendering to frames, if it ends prematurely, you can pick up from where it stopped instead of having to start from scratch.
