RENDERING ISSUES AND SOLUTION

After finishing editing my opening sequence in After Effects I noticed that the file size was quite large and that my computer was going to struggle to render the video. After adding the sequence to the render queue, I waited and prayed that it would render ok and in a reasonable time frame. 30 minutes into the rendering process, the program crashed leaving me with no finished product and a long error code which despite numerous Google searches lead to no resolution! After almost accepting defeat, I thought that perhaps the computer needed restarting. So I restarted my computer and closed every possible program that was taking up my RAM usage. After doing this, the video rendered in only 15 minutes and I was a very happy with the quality of the render.
