Premiere Elements 2021, "Error compiling movie. Unknown error."

Question

I would love some help on what to do with the error message stating "Error compiling movie. Unknown error". This error message comes while trying to export and share my movie. Like many other users here I have put in months of effort and I really want to find the fix for my own sanity and time investment. After doing some digging online and coming up empty, I decided to go back through and remove all transitions to see what happens... Well, removing the transitions enabled the video to get processed and exported. However, not being able to incorporate transitions is a real bummer as it's one of the basic features of a video editing program. I would appreciate any help or guidance. I am using a Dell G7 7500 with:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Memory: 16.0 GB
Graphics: Intel(R) UHD Graphics / GEFORCE RTX 2060

My hope is that it's not a HW issue and there is a patch.

Thanks,

George

For that rtx2060 are you using the gaming driver or the studio driver?

I've seen this mention in the PPro forum before, but this is the first I've seen in the PrE forum
