OBS to Adobe Premiere MP4 Output Causes System to Crash

Question

I have looked everywhere for a solution to this. Anything coming from OBS as an MP4 to adobe premiere crashes my ENTIRE SYSTEM on export. I have tried enabling software only render, no CUDA. I have tried running through media encoder only. I have tried multiple output formats (Pro-Res,AVI,MP4). The only thing I have found that I can do to fix this is export video clips in 5 minute chunks, re-import them into a new premiere project to stitch back together, then import them into After Effects and export them again through media encoder.

I am using Windows 10, Premiere Pro 2020. There are NO CRASH LOGS because once again, the system COMPLETELY CRASHES. Not just a hangup or freeze. Instant crash.

Processor is Intel Core i9-7920X

Graphics card (for CUDA export, which results in the same crash) is an RTX 2080.

My CPU temps on export are around 50 degrees celcius, about 40-60 distance from the max, so it's not overheating.

Please help, this is just devastating.

OBS creates video files with a variable frame rate that can cause all sorts of issues. No idea if that's the cause of your problem, but try converting the files to a constant frame rate before importing in to premiere and see if that solves the problem.

And you can use Handbrake to do the conversion
