Batch Rendering outputs all black silhouettes, single renders are good

This is a new problem I’m having with a couple of files across more than one computer.
If I do a standard one-off render, they turn out beautiful. If I either add to queue, or add studios to queue, and batch render, I get this - solid black silhouettes of the model. This is with PNG format with transparency, no other passes or layers, no frontplates, nothing to account for why this happens. What’s crazy is that the preview window shows each render looking great, and as soon as it saves them, they save as black. (also notice the metadata files that always output no matter what i do when batch rendering, wether metadata checkbox is on or off)

The only way I can render the several angles i need is to sit and babysit keyshot for each render one at a time. sigh

Hi Joey,
What version of KeyShot are you on?

Hi Jan,
Version 12.1.1
(Build 11) [4.8.1]

Thanks Joey, can you confirm that this happens with any scene? Can you try it with a new scene and just a cube fx.?

Also: Can you share the/a scene with us where this issue comes up?
