I tried creating a new project (once this problem starts h= appening) and creating just a solid with a bunch of effects on it and tryin= g to render that.. it hangs just the same.. with no imported media and just= a solid and some effects.

it looks like even when I quit After Effects, a couple of th= e AfterFX.exe processes continue to remain running and I have to kill them = manually.

I've noticed, if I go into settings = and turn off MP, then go kill those extra processes, and then turn it back = on it'll load fresh executions of the render nodes and it'll render= just fine... then I go back to my problem project and it does the same aga= in..

so once the problem starts, it's there until proces= ses are re-started. it MAY be a corrupt video file, but other times I rende= r it's been fine. even this morning I got ONE good render, and then thi= s problem reared its head once again.
