How To Fix Adobe Premiere Render and Export Errors (2023)

[@nb1hk]

Adobe makes us pay too much for something that’s half broken.

[@KoldGeneration]

Your name tells me you didnt really paid for it 😂

[@justinnelson5960]

Are ye an "arr" pirate or a "yo ho ho" pirate?
This guy is an "I'm not paying $500 for photoshop" pirate

[@TheNinja94a]

That's what I'm thinkin'. How you gon' have me pay infinitely on a subscription for something whose errors I have to work around, not to mention its lack of intuitiveness. My school has an A/V program, they used Final Cut Pro, and in Final Cut Pro, I clicked "export," and got my video. I make music using Audacity and FL Studio, I click "export," get the audio file. I draw and animate too, click "export," get my drawing. Simple shit.

SHITTY ADOBE HAS BUGS AND ERROR

[@uno9915]

Wait you pay for adobe products?

[@Wunba]

Holy GOD, you are a life saver. I just spent literal hours trying to render something only to get the same message "Error" no explination given. What worked for me was the renderer at 9:00. THANK YOU!

[@greatstaro9255]

Wow that was my issue as well, thank you so much.

[@moriszoghby5144]

HAHAHAY SAME. THANKS BOSS!!

[@jakey99]

Wow, I was actually losing it! Then to watch this and see someone share my pain was the only thing that stopped me throwing a chair through the window... Extremely helpful and the way you explain things is so good (and funny) thanks heaps :)

[@characterdfilms]

Constantly feel like a parent that’s trying to trick cranky baby Premiere into eating its vegetables.

This worked perfectly. It is running smoothly without any problems. I am glad I finally found a working tutorial and not a fake one. THANKS!!!

[@MrKaco208]

This has sovled my headaches and frustrations I have had for the last several days!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!

[@ThapanDubayehudi]

I solved this problem rather unconventionally, after trying all your solutions on my 1 hour 36 minutes long video, I came up with a cunning plan. I exported it as 15 minutes long individual videos (by looking at the exact point in time). So I basically had 6 parts of perfectly exported videos.
I opened a new project, put them all together perfectly, and exported again, it worked like a breeze! ❤️

[@oliviertalouarn6258]

not in MP4 for hope ... if yes you double a very lossy compression .... do it with proves or DNX or Cineform

[@joshrech6804]

My man, you are the best for this. As a longtime editor I can feel your pain in these things and the time and process it takes to figure these things out (and the occasional shouting and tears). My problem ended up being a memory leak because of a third party Blackmagic plugin (freezing every time I exported, made proxies, etc) but just wanted to leave a comment and leave some appreciation because people have no idea the amount of time savings you’re giving here. You’re doing God’s work right here 🙏🏻

[@Diceboi]

Any difference in quality btween H264 and Pro Res?

[@justarandomguy9236]

actually didnt know until when i exported my video and found out that my color grading looks totally different than what i actually did

[@angelicaamora11]

@@justarandomguy9236 what did you use specifically?

[@justarandomguy9236]

@@angelicaamora11 idk anymore it was like a month ago. tho i think it's something like hq or 422

[@oliviertalouarn6258]

H264 is manly 4.2.0 colors, 8 bits and heavy compression (only 1 true frame against 11 interpolated ) . Pro res is 422 10 bits and do not compresse over frames, only "in frames", So off course it's much much better . TV PAD rated ...

[@RyanSyed]

​@@oliviertalouarn6258 i know but, why do i need a 30 min gaming video in lossless. its like saving in AVI/Uncompressed, Eats on your storage HEAVILY

[@AhlJaggerHuskyBros]

OMG just found your channel today and you helped me fix a problem I was stuck on for 8 hours !!! If I wasn’t already bald I would of pulled my hair out 😅 but thanks to your tips I managed to finally export my video 🥳 your a life saver man 🤙

[@MoveWIthMendoza]

THIS WAS SUPER HELPFUL! Nesting the problem clip after removing the warp stabilizer plug-in and applying warp stabilizer to the nested sequence and re-rendering fixed my issue.
My render stopped at two stacked clips with the top having a layered effect over the bottom and it's just incredible that you are able to re-create problems with your own projects and fix them for us all to see! Thank you for this!

[@steppingstonemediagroupllc]

While I am appreciative of the wonderful help, there is something else that needs to be said about these glitches in Adobe Premiere. How dare they charge $50-$100 a month for this crap!

[@enarkien]

Changing the preview file format and switching the effects up and down actually worked 😍🔥🙌🏻💯💯 was stuck for past 2 days being unable to export. Thank you 💯

[@TheL4LMusic]

Struggled with this for hours.. what worked for me was Clearing space on my drive and then updating premier pro and windows to the latest specs

[@BrianCalis]

I actually just ran into this problem today, it's like you read my mind, thanks so much, congrats on having a son, u will make a fun dad.

[@ariamalak3900]

I was getting rendering errors. Based on your advice I changed the sequence settings and it worked perfectly. I was able to export without any issues. THANK YOU!

[@daverizz]

Cute kiddo holmes. Congrats. And thanks for the tips. I've also found this to work sometimes:
1. Close Premiere
2. Delete all Audio & Video Preview folders
3. Re-open your project and try again.
and if that doesn't work, I will also try repeating the process, with a computer re-start before re-opening the project.

[@smashenYT]

ACTUALLY DONT UPDATE YOUR NVIDIA DRIVER BECAUSE 461.09 IS CAUSSING MAJORE ISSUES IN PREMIERE PRO.

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

OH NO! The press release says it actually FIXES issues with Premiere lol - I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING

[@smashenYT]

@@LearnHowToEditStuff Yea there was a hotfix available on Reddit. That fixed Premiere Pro but I had the driver crashing, also Nvidia Broadcaster sometimes crashes the driver as well. So Studio Driver it is for now :)

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

@@smashenYT studio driver 100,000% of the time, brother!

[@mr.pancakegaming2922]

I can confirm that the latest nvidia game drivers 461.09 have a big error and block the media encoder after a few seconds, when I returned the drivers to 457.51 everything works perfectly

[@flirtempire]

@@mr.pancakegaming2922 Thanks for the tipp, I'll try both: Reverting to 457.30 and also installing the Studio Driver - always had the Game ready driver and didnt even knew the Studio one existed... Hopefully that helps! Right now I'm trying to render using the ProRes Codec first, cause the driver is still downloading -seems weird but it works so far already.

[@TheBanjopreacher]

Will definitely remember these tips. Recently tried to export a 45 minute project and had to try about 18 times before it worked, but it would always fail at upwards of 85% so it could be sure to waste the maximum amount of my time lol

[@NannaFock]

When I change settings for video editing performance from Automatic to high in Windows + unchecked automatically refresh growing files i managed to export a file that could be played. Before it rendered, but the file wouldn't play. Thanks a lot and - congrats on being a father. Great video.

[@austinalvarezpodcoach]

LIterally just had to fix an Error 3 about 30 minutes before seeing this video. Fantastic timing

[@danielzovko]

Heh, I got warp stabilizer problems last week, solved it by nesting entire sequence. I pulled my hair few times. Also, congrats!

[@adnanamin1843]

Now I'm super happy that I have subbed you! A round of applause 👏

[@dchopefuls]

i don't even have the words! You just saved me. I had wasted an entire day so deeply frustrated trying to export my video and literally all it took was unchecking a little box....seriously thank you thank thank you

[@LushonM]

It’s an hour past my bedtime and thanks to you, my video is FINALLY exporting. I have no idea; I’ve been using premiere pro for an entire year now… I update tonight; and BOOM problems.
All is well for now though. Thank you.

[@iSukkk]

This is really nice, I love editing and when I search up how to do something I get one answer, now because you added a ton of different reasons why something doesn’t work I don’t ah e to go scavaging😂

Its very sad that we have to fix something they need to fix... :(

[@glnewsarchive3404]

Hi! Ian, this video helped me so much. The first two steps you address--"Sequence Settings" and "Preferences"-- appear to have solved my problem. I just got a new computer and the settings changed when I re-installed Adobe Cloud. Thank you so much.

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

You are very welcome!

[@Kiladera]

You are my hero. Have wasted 4 hours in my life, till I found this video. You’re covering so much more than other videos! Thanks a lot man you have saved my video!

[@liquidgrafixs4480]

Wasted 5 hours of my life today because render problems, thx for all these advice buddy. Me and the client where happy campers in the end of the day... or evening.

[@shiroo1318]

pls I wasted 12 hours

[@shiroo1318]

@eshwar I just had to restart, I basically wasted 12 hours for nothing, anyways it takes 15 minutes now, my ram is 32 gb, but there is some glitchy color now no idea why

[@heathergorman6713]

Thanks for the good advice! It has been awhile since I’ve used Premiere Pro and I’m a little rusty. I used a lot of your tips and I’m not exactly sure which one was the key to my problem but it was definitely something that you suggested. Also, congrats on the new baby boy. He’s perfect!

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

Haha! Glad one of them worked - and thanks!

[@UteNeumerkel_FilmStudio]

So many thanks! I had flickering and tried the suggested setting changes (some are impossible in a running project), effect order changes and then tested the different effects. As I used several chroma clips all the "makeup" effects for a beautiful face had to be rendered all together. Finally I had to eliminate the shadow highlight effect - and it worked! After three hard days and your helpful video (although difficult to understand ofr a non native speaker). Thanks again!!!

[@karlzab]

Just fixed a weird export problem, wherein my video output render loops parts randomly (sometimes in the middle, a few times on the end part of video), and after that, PR suddenly don't show any preview screen. Audio has no problem.
In short, I've done what you've done, changing the project settings video rendering playback to SOFTWARE ONLY. Works like a charm, thank you so much for this one bro!!! more power to you!!

[@TheFPSChannel]

Thanks for the great tips (as always). Wondering if you would consider a video that shows how to consolidate a project for archiving? And/or consolidating and prepping a timeline for export to another piece of software (e.g. Resolve for color correction) on another system? - (as opposed to just linking to all the media on the same system)
All I encounter is problems trying to consolidate...lots of problems. Pretty sure Premiere has bad code in there.

[@deazyhiiro]

Have been going through the export error for a while. The timecode moves forward every single time and after it reaches the end of the timeline, the next time i thought this would end this continuous suffering. But nope. Premiere just wont let me have my way. It gave me another timecode which is wayyyyy into the beginning of my video. Premiere really said “it’s round 2 mf”

[@IzzyTheLight]

I do not subscribe to many channels. But today was a 8 to 10 hour process of trying to export various files that were just not exporting and tried software encoding and it worked. Never got an error message exporting would just stop and premiere pro woukd stop working. Thank you so much for this video. Also love the name Leo and have for a long time it is what we have wanted to name a son if we have one for a couple of years now.

[@omnegusmedia258]

update and restart after watching this video and making sure of my settings. Export worked fine after the reset. THANK YOU. Been suffering for a full day.

[@peterlackovic]

Im married but i love you for this. I had the same issue with 2 projects in a row. I spent more time rendering than editing. Software encoding did the job for me. Thanks a lot man🤝 youre doing s great job

[@DRobertPease]

Unchecking "Automatically refresh growing files" fixed an issue I'd had with artifacts appearing in the video renders. I've had this issue for a long time now and never found a fix until today. Thanks!

[@SheerStitchery]

8:39 change video preview type - worked like a charm!!!

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

Tbh this video is a life saver. Kinda dumb that nesting things just magically works but, here we are.

[@scottievee7467]

I had a nearly 2 hour video I was trying to upload. I'd wait the 5 hours to see only 48 minutes of the video uploaded. I used your QT Pro Res option. It worked. Thank you.

[@_flcy]

For ppl using after effects and AME I found out that sometimes its the video clip itself thats corrupted, it might not be black and might seem normal but if you look at the error and the time code it gives you, try to redownload/reload the footage in that time space. Ended up working for me, hope this helps ppl... so much headache

[@scottbeatty9046]

The studio driver clean install and then restart did the trick for rolling credits that were either not appearing or not rolling. Thanks!!!!!

[@amarquez80857]

Holy Flip. This just helped me with my issue with my rendering issues when exporting. It was some FX with TEXT that I was NOT even using for anything; it was just ENABLED. So I disabled it and BOOM....render. Good to go now. Awesome explanation...thankyou so much.

[@Arthad]

putting the plugin effects on an adjustment layer helped me, wasted 8-ish hours over 2 days trying to fix render problems

[@dariomacchio7673]

Just a quick tip that I am going to spam/comment in some video-tuttorials with this subject : I was stuck and frustrated with the ccp-814 error for many days. Then I started exporting my project in smaller sections (part1 part 2 part 3) hoping to connect it on a different edit session. And then BAM! One of the fragments/parts got the same error mesage. Then it became easy to detect the problem. It seems that adobe premiere has some kind of "sensitivity" for audio that is left even on a muted track. This was bringing the whole project to collapse. When I resolved this, everything went smooth like before! Try it.

[@marianellakloka]

Thank you for this. I followed all the instructions and then when i reached the export, your second proposal fit. Enjoy your son and greetings from Athens/Greece.

[@UltrafiAV]

I tried everything in this excellent video to no avail, but it did inspire my eventual solution: export the 20 minute, 4K technical build video in 7 pieces and then assemble those pieces in a new timeline. Worked like a charm and saved me untold frustration.
Solution moving forward: DaVinci Resolve.

[@techlux1258]

omg THANK YOU! the turn off refresh growing files worked for me! I thought I was going to have to scrap my entire project! I appreiate you!

Not all heroes wear capes...but they do wear hats to the back and drop ducks over their mouth when they say f*cking! Thank you, my man! Truly a deadline saving video right here. 💪

[@sinister_ri]

Deactivating plug ins to find the problem is what helped me solve my issue! I found that I'd added way too many text boxes that were hidden and I couldn't delete from just looking at the frame. I used the same method to hide all of the blank text boxes, and it worked! Great video.

[@shrlyryl]

seriously you have just saved me from an all-nighter - I am so unbelievably grateful!

[@davehornunlimitedphotograp5138]

I turned off your video right at the start to try your advice of restarting the computer and it worked!! Thank you!!!

[@jamesscott1009]

Sometimes when working with footage from different cameras or encoders, you may have a file that was encoded in a way that premiere has difficulty reading or re-encoding. It will play fine in a video player but won’t export in premiere. What I did to fix this was just use free program Handbrake to re-encode the file to the same format it was recorded in, and wallah, premiere reads it just fine.
I work with broadcast recording and BlackMagic recording decks sometimes don’t encode mp4 files in a way that Premiere can read.

[@THE_ORIGINAL_I-SEARCHdotFUN]

I have to give you a big shout out and thank you. For unknown reasons (Adobe of course). Premiere Pro 20 and 21 disappeared from my system. Macbook 2019. The disappearance of 20/21 followed the inclusion of a corrupted 2022 version. This thing gave me a fit. I was on the phone with Adobe Tech Support. We thought they fixed the problem? But nope did not. I found the answer within seconds of this video starting. By default on my system, sequence settings were demonstrably off. 6000/4000. I change as you suggested to 1920/1080 and voila. After 2 weeks of being ill, system recovered. Like a miracle I tell you. yeah and thanks.
