write error trying to render but another active render is rendering

Software Natron

It wont write it out in mov, avi, mp4, png, and others. just keeps saying that error but i have no other write nodes or natrons open?

Hi, you should give more information about this issue (for example, which OS are you running, how you installed Natron, and give a simple project graph to replicate the issue)

Windows? could a previous instance still be running? Check in task manager.

yea, I shut down all other programs to try and narrow it down.

sorry, i am running windows 10 on a amd 5600 and gtx3080. i installed just updated and installed the newest version of natron yesterday. its installed on my c drive 1TB through github. i had a simple 480 frame image sequence of exr. it would only let me render exr’s. i have ACES and i have the setting default. its just the one read file and the write file and it wont let me render anything else out.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by removing the # from the file path and setting the number manually.
So Untitled#.mp4 becomes just Untitled1.mp4in the file path.
An image of the file path of the Writer node ending in Untitled1.mp4

good find. we should clearly prevent that
