Premiere 25.5 taking ages to export due to audio rendering of files outside of export selection

HI,

I'm exporting a 50 second section of my timeline and it says rendering 144 audio clips.  It also says 5 hours to export (this goes down eventually) but it still takes far too long to export and is the same bug we had a few versions ago.

Premiere 25.5 build 13

Apple M2 Max 96Gb RAM

Sonoma 14.7.3

Subsequence and then export might be a workaround?

Or try and ensure your audio is all 48K

This behavior has been going on for years.

Export a short in and outpount section of the timeline, Premiere or AME has to load all the audio files on the timelline first before it starts encoding.
