PREMIERE PRO + M1 PROCESSOR = EXPORT DISASTERS

MacBook Pro 2021

M1 Max

64GB

Mac OS Monterey 

Version 12.6

Adobe Premiere Pro 2022

Version 22.6.2 Build 2

Media Encoder

Version 22.6.1 Build 2

The issues I experience are common both with the “Intel” version of Premiere Pro and the default version for M1 Max MacBooks. 

Upon exporting 1080x1920 and 1080x1350 and 1080x1080 I experience into a few random issues. 

One is that my exports fail with Prores 422 HQ or Prores 422. Simply FAIL. 

The more common experience though is that I get an export with the frame size I want, but the image inside it is squashed with a green huge pixel under the squashed image. Screenshot attached.

This has severely affected my workflow, as I batch export A LOT of videos for various formats (social media and shops)

Now I have to sometimes do that ‘one by one’ - which is hell in itself. Not only this but the latest Premiere Pro has completely redesigned the Export dialogue window between Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and that is not a good design… I change the codec and it decides for itself the rest. It’s simply insane how much work I have to do to select the export settings! 

I have spent the last 5 days exporting something that would take me normally 2 days. 

I have spoken to customer services at least 3 times and they have offered no solution whatsoever apart from letting me know that they are aware of how there are issues of compatibility between Premiere Pro and M1 Processors. 

I don’t know what to do as I’m really frustrated with this…

Does anyone have any clue as to how to overcome this?
