Error compiling movie

Export Error

Exporter turned bad result

Error Code 4

I am really frustrated. I have made several videos like the one I am trying to Render and Export now. I am using the same PC that I used when making the others. What are these error messages. I can't figure it out. I have don't the obvious things. Shutting down, starting a new project and reloading the videos. Has anyone had this issue and know a solution. Of course I have time constraints that are stressing me out! Thanks for any help you can offer.

Basically you want to be looking at:

- Is it a corrupt clip? Try to isolate the area of your timeline, the piece or pieces of media causing the trouble, or the effect causing the trouble. Render and replace, transcode problem media, re-arrange or tweak effects, clear media cache and previews and let them reload.

- Is the project corrupt? Try pasting your edit into a new sequence. Create a new project and import the sequence into that new project.

- Hardware/software issues? Change your renderer, update your drivers, reinstall Premiere if you need.

Thanks for your ideas. I've tried starting a new project and reloading the
files but it didn't fix the problem. I'm thinking it must be a hardware
issue, unfortunately. Thanks for your help.

Media getting corrupted is pretty common as well. It's probably one of the more common issues I run into. Sometimes you just need to transcode your media into a different codec, so don't rule that out.
