Premiere Pro CC crashes when trying to export

I'm trying to export a ~2:30 video in the H.264 format. Every time I hit export it makes it to 6% and then crashes. When I try to export it in Media Encoder, it fails and says:

"

Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.

------------------------------------------------------------

- Encoding Time: 00:00:06

01/30/2019 01:51:50 PM : Encoding Failed

------------------------------------------------------------

A low-level exception occurred in: H.264 (Exporter:9)

Export Error

Error compiling movie.

Export Error

A low-level exception occurred.

"

I also found an error log that said something about Lumetri Color. I saw that other posts talked about Lumetri Color causing export issues with still images, but I don't know what Lumetri Color is and I don't have any still images(besides a few text graphics).

Hardware:

i5-6600K

1070 O8G

2x8GB 3200mhz

500GB M.2 SSD

Try exporting to a different file.

Choose QuickTime as the Format, and Cineform YUV 10 bit as the Preset.

If that works, you can bring it back into PP to create the MP4.

I attempted exporting with those settings and it crashed again.

Hi JudiO,

Sorry about this. You probably are having issues with your GPU unable to process your Lumetri color effects. Try switching File > Project Settings > General to "Software Only." It may take extra time, but you should be able to export this way. Does that work for you?

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for the response Kevin,

I changed the renderer from "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" and I'm still getting the same error.
