<p>Simple add the sequence to the After Effects Render Queue:</p>

<p>And from there open it in AME, where the preview will work perfectly fine.</p>

<p>I am quite new to the video editing world. I am trying to follow some of tutorial online on how to render a sequence of timelapse photos with Adobe After Effects and export using Media Encoder Queue. Once I add my sequence to the queue and I click on my <strong>.H264</strong> link, I am presented with the following screen:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/apunf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/apunf.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>Respectively my video is exported with the same content as the one visible on the screenshot.</p>

<p>Weirdly enough, when I export the video using the Render Queue from After Effects, the file looks perfectly fine. After this, I try to re-export the video using again the Media Encoder Queue, and the preview is rendered correctly as well as the final file.</p>

<p>Now when I close, re-open After Effect, make minor change (like aspect ration for example) and attempt to export the video using the Media Encoder Queue. I am given the following screen(where no preview is available):</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/HZMLw.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/HZMLw.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>A few seconds after I try to export the video, I am getting the following error:</p>
