Render always stuck at second frame with rendering preview pass

[Anonymous]

I am trying to render a simple animation with 700 frames.

After I start the rendering process it successfully finishes the first frame, but it gets stuck on the next one at the "rendering preview pass" task.

I am trying to render it as an image sequence. 

I am using the Arnold renderer with a fresh install of 3D Studio Max 2021.

Specs:

Ryzen 7 3700x

16 Gb Ram

RTX 2060

Edit: Rendering it as an .avi file seems to be working, but for obvious reasons I would prefer it as an image sequence.

Which Arnold Version are you using? Also, if you go to the menu Rendering  - Render Message Window, what does it say? And if you are rendering a final frame you don't need to have the preview pass, that is just a waste of time.
