RENDER_TIMEOUT

HTTP status: 504

What it means

The render did not finish within the allowed time.

Why it happens

• The render exceeded the overall wall-clock budget (30 minutes).

How to fix it

• Split very long movies into shorter ones.
• Render a draft first ("draft": true) to validate content quickly.

Example

Every non-2xx response uses the same envelope; path (when present) is the exact JSON path of the offending field, and requestId identifies the request in support conversations:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "RENDER_TIMEOUT",
    "message": "The render did not finish within the allowed time and was aborted.",
    "docsUrl": "https://automotion.dev/docs/errors/render_timeout"
  },
  "requestId": "req_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
}

See the error index for the full catalog and the API overview for envelope semantics.
