The issue is most likely that you removed the composite node accidentally in the composite node tree. [![enter image description here][1]][1] Select the composite node tree button (highlighted left). At this point, we should take a step back, and make sure that what I think is happening, is happening. There are two signs that I'm wrong: 1. Use Nodes isn't enabled 2. There is a composite node If both of those aren't true, than continue. Now there are two ways you could solve this. <h3>#1</h3> You could disable Use Nodes. When this is disabled, anything in the compositing node tree's are ignored. <h3>#2</h3> Or you could add in a composite node, and attach it to the Render Layers node. <kbd>Shift</kbd><kbd>A</kbd> output -> composite.
