Premier Pro keeps crashing when exporting (similar issue reported by others and not resolved)

Hey! So I'm experiencing the same issue as several others have been reporting, and from my viewpoint there seems to have been no real fix to this. 

When exporting my project crashes, doesn't help to use media encoder, nor clearing cash or any of the suggested solutions. This has now affected all my projects and I'm unable to export anything. 

I've tried different projects that previously worked, re-importing, re-installing, etc.. 

This does seem to be a problem tied to the H.264 codec.

I'm using a M1 Macbook Pro (12 gb ram)
