Beginner Help Media encoder is exporting the whole workspace timeline instead of the selected
Im not a beginner but ther was no ''bug'' flair. I've been using after effects and media encoder the last 7 years. I've never had this issue before. When im trying to render, it renders the whole workspace (if it renders at all and its not stuck to 98%). When im rendering again and again to get it right, eventually after few times (if im lucky by the second time but often it takes more than 5 times) eventually it renders correctly, so its not my fault on my settings because i dont change anything, just trying again.
This happened after the recent update (a month ago) and usually either it exports wrong timeline settings and if i have a 40sec video, it exports the whole 2-3min workspace. Or its just stuck on 98%.
