I used to love Compressor. Ran flawlesslessly. Now I rarely can use it due to this constant error across nearly all my video outputs, which all use completely different source material. The latest is all stock footage, I get Failed: Error: RenderFrameAt returned: 4 for absolute frame: 1634. Any idea why this is now a regular occurrence on Compressor? When I output direct from Final Cut Pro X, I don't have this problem.

If this is happening with all sorts of media, there may be some sort of software conflict.

Hopefully we may see something in the report.
Do you have Chrome? Do you have any third party "antivirus", "cleaners" or something?
Does Compressor have "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy?

More information, please.
Versions of Compressor, macOS?
What are the media formats used?
Thanks Luis. Sorry for not providing the info before. Here it is:
Media use is predominantly stock footage from a stock library .mov as well as .mp4 files preview clips. Been having this issue with Compressor across too many different projects for me to rely on it anymore. I fall back on just outputting 1080 or 720 from FCPX, which works flawlessly. But I'd like to get back to Compressor if it can start working again.
