Premiere Freezes Upon Batch Export to Media Encoder

Since updating to the latest version of both Encoder and Premiere, Premiere freezes when performing a batch export to media encoder. This happens whether Media Encoder is already launched or launched by Premiere. It will add the first video to the queue and then freeze, thereby requireing a force quit. A full computer restart will fix the issue only temporarily for one batch export, and then go back to freezing.

I've got this problem too - I've reinstalled Premiere/all the Adobe products/etc. It's about a 80% chance that it'll freeze when exporting 3 or more sequences, and about 99% chance when doing 5 or more.

Mac Studio M1 Max (2022)

Can you try to delete the caches? Can you launch AME first? Can you make sure in Task Manager that dynamiclink is not running? Can you temporarily disable any anti-virus software? Please also share your specs (OS, CPU, GPU, memory).

I can confirm exact the same behavior and it is super annoying that this is not fixed.

Olá, estou revivendo o topico. Após as últimas atualizações isso ocorre no meu computador Windows 11... Não sei mais o que fazer e está me atrapalhando muito! @Adobe nos ajude! Toda atualização um BUG diferente!

Unfortunately after a controlled approach first trying one solution and then the other, and ultimately both simultaneously the issue persists. I think this may be a good old fashioned bug. If I wasn't in the middle of a huge project I would uninstall/reinstall, but I will try that as soon as I get the opportunity and will let you know. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Thanks for the post ... and best wishes, of course!

 

It would also be useful for you to reply whether or not either suggestion works, of course.

 

Another option is using the Uninstall option from the CC Desktop app, rebooting, then reinstalling Premiere followed by MediaEncoder. That's occasionally fixed Pr/Me mess-ups.

Yes, sorry. I realize I'd left out my OS info after I submitted. I'm on a 2022 Mac Studio, M1 Max, 32GB. Sonoma 14.2.1. 

 

Thank you for those suggestions. I will try and report back. The workaround I have been using for now is importing projects directly into Me rather than sending from Pr and that seemed to work, but I like your suggestion. Thank you, I'll report back!

What's your OS and computer details? For any troubleshooting work, those things matter.

 

Have you dumped all Pr and Me cache files? That often solves things. Or uncheck "import sequences natively" in Me, which at other times fixes Pr/Me issues.
