Premiere Elements 2022 crashs on exports larger 4,6GB

I want to export a project of about 50minutes. The expected file size is given with ~11GB. HD1080 - high quality

The export went well until an export file size of about 4,6GB is reached.

Then, PE crashes or Windows 11 itself freezes with a blue screen and reboots.

 

Is there something to know, that PE cannot export video files larger 4,6GB?

System: Windows 11; 32 GB RAM; NVIDIA GF 750; Premiere Elements 2022

For Windows

Right click the 'window' at the very bottom left of the screen

Select Disk Management
What is shown for your drive(s)

 

Mine are

C - 476Gig NTFS (this is my Windows system drive)

E - 931Gig NTFS (data drive for video/sound/picture files)

F - 465Gig NTFS (temporary and exported video files)

 

In File Manager Right Click your drive(s) and select Properties

C has 410Gig free space

E has 839Gig free space

F has 424Gig free space

That was the correct hint.

I switched the scratched disks from a disk with about 400GB free space to a disc with ~2TB free space. And now it works 🙂

Based on the size you gave, I don't think your problem was the amount of free space

 

I will GUESS that the drive that caused you a problem is formatted FAT32 not NTFS... since FAT32 has a file size limit of 4 Gig

How many and what size(s) drives?

How much space available on the drive(s)?

Are the drive(s) formated NTFS?
