Motion designer materials missing in render only!

Hi, I’m trying to render a Motion design scene, The materials which I made in the new material designer look great in viewport, but when rendering with the movie render queue all materials are missing and render black with the following error message:

Detected 2 read-only materials with missing niagra usage flag required to work properly with cloner

In other posts I’ve read to open the materials in the main UE mat editor and make sure that in the materials niagra usage settings that “use with Niagra mesh particles” is checked… But mine are already checked!?

The strange thing is I unchecked and rechecked it and resaved one and it rendered one single time correctly… but out of the approx 20 times I’ve tried that was the only time

Any advice appreciated
Many thanks
