I reopened the scene to delete the animation. When I opened the scene an animation timeline popped up near the top like it always does. Never really understood that until now. Anyway I couldn't figure out how to delete the animation. Instead under "Render Options" I noticed that "Broadcast", "Superior" and "Ultra" all have "Enable motion blurring" checked in the "Render quality" section. Soooo, I went to "User settings" and unchecked "Enable motion blurring". Problem solved!!! Not only that but render speed increased dramatically!!! Not a glitch at all! Just ignorance on my part, lol. :) I really can't thank you enough! :D
