Adobe Media Encoder EXPORT ERROR: Unable to create audio renderer
Hey guys,
Very frustrating problem that I have been working on for hours and searching for a solution to, but with no avail.
THE PROBLEM:
As of July 27, 2016 when I last updated Adobe Media Encoder/Premiere, often when I export long videos (longer than 30 minutes-ish) via Adobe Media Encoder, my export fails and I get this error:
- Encoding Time: 00:19:30 [<------ this time is almost always different on each export-even if it is the same video that I am exporting]
08/08/2016 12:38:55 AM : Encoding Failed
--------------------------------------------------------
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Export Error
Unable to create audio renderer.
Writing with exporter: H.264
Writing to file: /Users/nathanieldodson/Desktop/03_FOR_PUBLISH.mp4
Writing file type: H264
Around timecode: 00;00;00;00
Component: H.264 of type Exporter
Selector: 9
Error code: 6
If I try to export in Premiere Pro, it freezes at 0% and I have to force quit the application. Please help, my business is reliant on videos getting exported in a timely fashion and this problem has just cropped up after 5+ years of using Premiere/AME. Any information/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
MY COMPUTER:
I have Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch Mid 2014) running OS X El Capitan
Processor: 2.5GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048MB
I am running a 4k monitor off the Macbook.
Again, I have never had this issue even once, but since July 27th, 2016 I have had this error over a dozen times.
SOLUTIONS:
I managed to get one 65 minute video to export a week ago by entering the Preferences of Adobe Media Encoder and unchecking "Import Sequences Natively", but after being able to export that project, the problem persists with new videos I am trying to export.
I have seen others talking about changing the name of the .prproj file and removing and special characters. That didn't help my case.
I have seen others talking about changing the name of the sequence being exported and removing special characters. That didn't help in my case.
I have seen the suggestion of deleting audio clips one at a time and undoing the delete to correct the problem. That didn't help in my case.
I did just remove the "03" from my "Output File" name (changed "03_FOR_PUBLISH.mp4" to "_FOR_PUBLISH.mp4") and as of writing this post it's gotten 47+ minutes deep in the encoding process. I'm skeptical that it will complete until I see it actually complete. Too many times setting AME to work only to return the next morning and realize nothing was exported or encoded.
MY PLEA/DEMAND:
Adobe, please give us the solution to this problem. All of these file naming changes and deleting audio "solutions" feel like duct tape solution at best.
I have entirely lost faith in Adobe Media Encoder doing its job. I feel like I'm hoping for a miracle each time I need to export a video (2-3x a week) and that really stinks.
I pay my Adobe bill every month to have access to the greatest suite of design, video, and development applications known to man, not to fuss with a gimmick problem in the Media Encoder. Adobe, please respond to my question, please provide a solution, and please provide a long-term correction to this very frustrating problem.
Thank you.
