Rendering MOV files has been taking forever

Rendering MOV files has been taking forever for an hour now. Before that, it was smooth in the same file.
Is there any work going on with the program right now that’s causing the delay?

Hi @filip

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the inconvenience caused. We’re not aware of any ongoing program-wide issues that would cause MOV rendering to slow down, so this may be related to your specific file or system setup.

To help troubleshoot, could you please provide:

  1. The D5 Render version you are using.
  2. Whether the render is using Path Tracing or Legacy GI mode.
  3. If the slowdown happens only on this file or on other projects as well.
  4. Whether rendering to a PNG sequence instead of MOV produces the same delay.
  5. Any heavy assets in your scene (vegetation, high-poly models, etc.) and your VRAM usage during the render.

Also, does the issue still persist, or has the render eventually completed? Thank you
