How to Fix Video Preview Error

I apologize if this has been talked about somewhere else in the community, I've searched around and can't seem to find an answer for me. 

I'm using Premiere Pro 2025 and I keep getting an error whenever I try to render my clips in a sequence. The error goes as followed:

Video Preview Error

Error compiling movie.

Export Error

Exporter returned bad result.

Writing with exporter: QuickTime

Writing to file: it's a file. 

Around timecode: 00:00:00:00

Component: QuickTime of type Exporter

Selector: 17

Error code: 10

I wrote that all out in case some other poor soul does the same thing as me and writes out the selector and error code into Google. 

I have reset my app preferences, cleared my cache, moved my clips around, restarted and started againg the app, I have gone to my sequence settings and tinkered with things there as others have advised elsewhere and nothing works. 

I can export the file just fine but what is so strange is that my coworker has shared with me a project and it renders just fine on my side. I've looked at his sequence and project settings and they don't look too far off from mine (yes, I have changed my settings to his and still nothing). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙂
