Can't EXPORT! "Rendering Required Audio Files"

  • October 10, 2022

I have a 1 minute video project. When I go to export it, it says "Rendering Required Audio Files" at 0%. I waited about 10 minutes and it was still at 0%

I have the original audio file and also an mp3 song for background music on this short and simple project. I tried converting it to a song to a WAV file but that didn't make a difference. Also my C and D drive are not close to being full, if that makes any difference.

I tried exporting the project without the music audio in it and it said the same thing. I then tried to export the project with out the original audio and then another time with no audio and the "Rendering Required Audio Files" still showed up and wouldn't export.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    I didn't have to clear the media cache.

    All I had to do was to "copy & paste project into new project".

    You'll see a x sign in the audio, it's trying to render it. NOt sure why that's happening. I just updated my premiere and this happened but I noticed that there's that rendering on the audio in the sequence. Just click the x sign. It should work after that. 🙂

      Hi folks, I had this same issue and tried everything in the thread but none of it worked. Even put my project files on a hard drive and took it to a more powerful desktop at my uni to try to export it there but same problem. Here was the stupidly simple solution:

       

      one of the audio tracks (one out of hundreds) I had adjusted in the essential sound levels to enhance speach/clarity. I had actually already disabled this adjustment in effect controls, but it was still there. After re-enabling the adjustment, and then deleting it altogether (rather than just disabling it) I was able to export with no issues.

       

      To recap — my issue may be different from others but it had nothing to do with sequence settings, or .mp3 files which I have several of on my timeline, just that a disabled clarity adjustment confused premier when it was exporting and deleting the adjustment entirely solved the problem. hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.

        thanks for posting your solution.  As big a pain as it may have been, going thru your timeline and checking each audio clip is sometimes necessary to get over the hump...  As anyone can see reviewing this thread, there can be many causes to these problems...  Minimally I strongly recommend making sure all your sources are uncompressed audio and that sampling rate and bit depth are uniform and match the sequence settings...  I have never had this sort of problem working on my own projects.  The incident I mentioned in my post earlier in this thread was when I was working as post supervisor on an extensive documentary project with a "director/editor" who couldn't cut his way out of.a brown paper bag..

        Premiere Pro 2024. I mixed sequence consisting from all kinds af footage (a Sony camera, an IProne, a DJI cam, footage from Storyblocks, different audio effects from the Internet and plugin packs). The Audio converting still takes place at the beginning of the Render process but it ends fairly quickly and then the render itself starts. So guys update.

          SOLVED - I checked all my .wav and .mp3 files and noticed that my interview files were recorded at 96000Hz. I went into my Sequence Settings and changed from 48000Hz to 96000Hz and I was able to export.

            Thanks for posting your solution, however, Unless there's a reason to maintain the 96k sampling, you'd be better off setting your sequence audio to 48k 16 bit (which is the standard video format for the most part) and transcoding your all your material to that format...  And mp3's are not ideal for editing... so transcodoing to an uncompressed format like aiff or wav is usually a good idea.    If you follow this workflow, you can avoid issues down the road...  If you have delivery specs calling for 96k, that's another story.

            Convert wav's to 48khz with something like audacity and then replace your audios with 48khz versions - worked fo my 96khz files

              I was having the same problem, but with a 25 minute webinar recording I put together. No matter what I did, the program stalled on the "rendering required audio files." In the end, all it too was some patience. I had to wait more than five minutes before the "Rendering Required Audio Files" changed to "Encoding Sequence". It never showed anything but 0% progress. But it worked.

              I'm having the same issues, When I try to export I end up getting 0% on rendered Audio files. And it sits there at 0% until I finally give up. Really need a fix for it.

              Had a similar problem on a complex documentary project.  The solution was to go thru the timeline and making sure all audio clips had waveforms.  If not, did a render and replace.  If that didn't work (with a audio clip with a waveform) , had to dig in to the source files and figure out what the problem was.  If render and replace doesn't solve the problem, post back and we'll dig into what's going on.

              You're my hero on this. Been helping us out for months! Just had this problem today. Anamorphic footage, music downloaded from Youtube to MP3 website (maybe it was too sketchy). Sent to media encoded and it was fine, but definitely want to try the render and replace

              Hello everyone, I'm sorry if the text is a bit confusing, I'm using the translator because I only understand Portuguese.

I would like to say that I believe I have found the solution, so I came to share it with you.

Here the only thing that worked was to downgrade, that is, to install an older version of Premiere. I was using version 23.4, I made the option to go back to version 22.2 and it seems to have solved it.

Hope it works for you!

I uploaded the project to this site to get an older version.

              I'm having the same issue. Tried deleting the MP3 from the sequence as a test and it didn't help.

              Oddly, if I delete all the audio from the sequence then it exports fine as a silent video. But when I try to pin point the problem piece of media by trial and error (deleting half the audio, then the other half) it hangs up on the "rendering audio files" every time.
