Premiere Pro export

What used to take 30 minutes now takes hours. And the time keeps rising. 4 hours 5 hours 12 hours. It's so frustrating isn't it now.

Hi christopher_7491,

We would need more details to troubleshoot the issue. Please let us know the version of Premiere you are using & the system specs. Also, let us know about the complexity of the timeline (type of media used & the effects applied). We're here to help, just need more info.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

If you can go back to an older Premiere Pro Version and then your export is faster again then the Dev Team would want to know why.

In the meantime follow guidelines here to describe your setup and scenario for your Export issues -

Has anything else changed on your computer recently ?.

Have you tried deleting Media Cache and retarted you machine?

Without knowing anything about your local setup, no one will even waste time guessing. Because ... why?

 

Data matters. As in this case many of us are not getting any slowdown at all. Good data helps to both troubleshoot, and if repeatable by others under prescribed circumstances, determine if a bug actually exists.

 

Quite frequently what users first think is a bug is simply something improperly set on the local system or mis-doing a step in the process somewhere. So it is fixable immediately when enough data flows.

 

So ... OS/CPU/GPU/GPU driver, RAM ... the type of media and effects in use, to begin with.
