Exporting a still image instead of video

Hello

I recently picked up Premiere Pro and I thought I was ready to export my first video

Premiere Pro, is however, only exporting a still image of every clip instead of the actual video. The audio is fine. What am I doing wrong?

I've picked Youtube 4k settings

Weird. Post computer specs.

Are these clips variable framerate fi not can you upload clip for testing.


Maybe it is time to

Just do "Delete all media cache files" from Preferences when no project being opened!

If it is any help:

It does export the text and the clips that I have sped up. Everything else, is however just still images of the clip

Turn off max render (and max depth if checked) and hardware encoding and try again.

Hello and thanks for your reply.

Issue is still present, however some clips are now stuttering instead. The export time is doubled.
