Short version:
-Editing project with mpeg2 (.mpg) file
-the mpeg2 file was originally an mp4, rendered it with Media Encoder to convert to to mpeg2 as experiment (mp4 was horrendous to edit with, timeline was extremely laggy)
-worked surprisingly well, editing became a dream
-made only 9-12 simple cuts, queued it in media encoder, makes it through the audio process just fine, but fails IMMEDIATELY after the audio portion is done
-tried exporting with only Premiere, worked just fine
-file format was set to export to mp4 (H.264) for both attempts
other notes:
-Media Encoder set to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
-GPU Acceleration is on in Premiere
-cleared cache
-tried exporting in new .proj, same issue
-no third party plug-ins used
