Question

Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

I have the following error since CS6 when exporting some videos: Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

All my drives have plenty of space, NTFS 7200rpm, everything was fine with CS5.5. Same problem with Encoder or Premiere Pro.

Much of the stuff I export is going fine but I have this error with some sequences and formats.

It always crash to this error when exporting sequences with "Match Sequence Settings".

For one of my projects, when exporting to wmv, out of 6 sequences one always crash to Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

If I encode those sequences to mpeg2, everything is fine.

I installed the new update this morning but it doesn't help.

So, I have this problem as well. I wanted to export some videos through AME using "Match Sequence Settings" that had already been used for DVDs in Encore CS6.

I was however able to export them but not using AME. I had to just export them straight from Premiere Pro CS6, but they exported fine. I just couldn't do anything else at the same time. Hope that helps.

This problem hasn't been fixed yet after 5 years???  Why does "match sequence" cause this disk full error???

I had this same issue day and figured it out. The "Match Sequence Settings" really only applies to sequences set to 30 frames per second.

I exported raw footage streams today from a shoot last night. Two of the sequences were set to 30 fps and the third contained footage from a GoPro set to 60 fps. the export kept failing and I finally converted the sequence to 30 fps and it worked perfectly. It is better this wat as it matches the rest of the footage.

I prefer using the "Match Sequence Settings" as it is the most stable and reliable export option. The H.264 settings have a sync issue and the audio will drift for files around an hour or more. I use the "Match Sequence Settings" option for most exports and doncoversations in other programs. I don't want to upgrade past CS6 as to avoid the monthly charges.

Get it together Adobe!!!!!!

This is ridiculous that you have not fixed this common issue.

After A LOT of trial and error these last few days, I've finally narrowed down and eliminated the problem, at least for me. I had a 25fps clip and my sequence is 24fps. Having recreated a 24fps version of the clip the problem is solved and my movie has encoded. Will this bug be addressed Adobe? And where do I send my invoice for my time ;-)

I'm also getting this exact problem with Premiere and AME CC 2014 - any news yet Adobe? This is quite a major hold up...

I moved over to Premiere after years with Final Cut, until it went X ... but have just had the same problem as others in this thread - namely that one export from Premiere through (2 versions) of Encoder, have been unsuccessful and incredibly annoying, with the 'disk full' message.

After trying every possible combination of export/render and getting nowhere, I had to 'go back' to Final Cut and complete it there... So I guess (reluctantly) I will have to get to grips with FC again... (I got my team onto Final Cut, but having got used to Premiere, I stayed with it - until now!)

I have yet to see a decent response to this problem from Adobe!

I consistently got this error when trying to export AVCHD 1080p60 footage. For lower frame rates, simply checking the "Match Sequence Settings" option worked well. Not so for the 59.975 frame rate.

After fidddling with it for a while, I finally got it to export by unchecking the "Match Sequence Settings" option and manually selecting H.264 Level 5.1.

I seemed to have the same problem, but it only occurred when I clicked UPPER LEFT in the Field Order. When I returned it to Progressive, it worked.
