Render Malfunction - Error Compiling Movie - Export Error

I'm trying to render my premiere pro video, and I keep getting an error when I try.

It reads:

Error compiling movie

Export Error

Exporter returned bad result

writing with exporter: DNxHR/DNxHD MXF OP1a

Component: DNxHR/DNxHD MXF OP1a of type Exporter

Selector: 9

Error Code: 14

I can't seem to find any solutions to this problem online, and when I try to save my file, it returns with another error that reads:

Project Save Error

An unknown error occurred while saving the project

I just reset my cache & preferences, to no avail.

Anybody have any ideas about what I can do?

I just cleared some more space on my hard drive, and all the errors disappeared.

Funny that none of the error messages mentioned anything about insufficient space.

Anyways, problem solved. Thanks!

I've cleared lot of space and it didn’t work at first,

But then I figure out I was saving to a Cloud Drive folder which synced in realtime while had been saved,

 So what worked for me was changing the folder I was saving to, I just export it on my Desktop and it fixed the issue. Then I moved the file to the place it was supposed to be saved.

For me, going to sequence settings > Preview file format > Change Microsoft AVI to I frame only MPEG. No idea why, but it worked for me. Adobe is seriously becoming a wreck. Theres a new issue I have to do deal with nearly every time I use it

Amazing. This is the correct answer. Wrestled with the same problem all evening then "bingo". Went to sequence settings>preview file format>changed Microsoft AVI to Iframe only MPEG. Render is now complete.  I can reassemble my project. Thanks much. My head and attitude feel much better.

EPIC find paulp9251700

It doesn't give you a hint as to what it might be... the I/O (read/write) error ...I didn't even think about disk space!

you saved me on a deadline.

You need to fix whatever is on the timeline at the given time in the error message.

It can be anything, faulty clip, transition, effect you name it.

Thank the web for users that find and share solutions to such stupid problems (that Adobe Community Professionals have no clue about, obviously; do they ever?..). Couldn't the message just say "Error: not enough disk space"???
