Render is a nightmare for me

I’m going to be really honest - I’m struggling super hard with this.

I am trying to simply get my sequence to render what the camera sees. I’ve tried to use ChatGPT for help, that brings me in circles, I’ve looked at other posts and I either don’t have the same setup or I’ve checked their solutions.

No actors are hidden. No LOD Screen size quirks (as far as I can tell). I seriously need some help. I want to punch my screen and I’m really calm person. The element that isn’t rendering is my “sky” element. It shows in PIE, when I select the Camera I’m using, but when I choose that camera for the sequencer, the sequence preview nor render result include my sky material output, nor it’s reflections. It’s like it doesn’t exist according to the sequencer.

I would appreciate any help someone could give. I’d be very happy to jump on a screen share with anyone with ideas.
