Solution: Just install a older version of Ps

Things that didnt work:

• making layers less complex(removing adjustment layers, masking etc)
• deleting temporary files
• turning off anti-virus
• restarting computer
• allocating more memory to Ps(its already maxxed out)
• checking range of frames to render(it was on all)

things that i didnt try:

• undo prevent WinUpdate
• using media encoder(cannot)
• reinstalling media encoder

https://flylib.com/books/en/2.189.1.273/1/#:~:text=To%20see%20all%20the%20sublayers,display%20all%20of%20their%20sublayers.

To see all the sublayers in the Layers palette, Option-click (PC: Alt-click) on the expansion triangle beside one of the layers. All the layers will be expanded to display all of their sublayers. (Note: This works differently depending on what sublayers you already have expanded.)

SO HOW?
PUT EVERYTHING IN 1 folder

 Alt-click that shit

check to see if anything hidden or locked
