Hello, I am trying to export a 1 hour 45 minute video and whether I export straight from Premier pro or Media Encoder, it gets stuck at 99% and won't go past that. I was able to render the files fine, I tried leaving it over night, I have a very strong computer with more than enough space. I do 3 files, an audio file that I can hear, the video file that o can't see, and the mp4 file that has nothing on it. I think that the audio and video files are being made but it isn't mixing them together to make the mp4. I'm stuck

Did you try pausing and restarting?

I tried like 7-8 different ways, and also every suggestest thing here but nothing seems to work.

Sometimes pausing the export in AME and restarting it will fix that.

I'm not at my editing computer now to take a screenshot, but it is in the upper right corner of the Media Encoder window.

The same problem but I've checked and the file is created, no matter what the render progression displays 99%. Just closed this info pop up window and continue working. Checked the rendered movie and it plays correctly.
Some renders does have this issue, no clue why, but destination disk is not the problem, as far as I can tell.

On mine, it was because of a linked Aftereffects composition, keeps getting stuck and wont finish. I solved it by just rendering it, and linking the render instead.

Hi Evan,

How long was it stuck there? Ten minutes? An hour? Sometimes, it takes awhile to get the file written to disk and some people don't give it enough time to complete and force quit, especially on long exports. I agree that the progress bar should probably be a bit more accurate or at least tell you what's going on as your export is finalized.

Hope the info helps.

Thanks,
Kevin

Make sure you're not exporting to a directory in a cloud folder like DropBox, G-Drive, OneDrive, or Creative Cloud itself. Look for a directory on your storage drive that doesn't have to do with clouds, as that could be causing the issue.
