Media Encoder 14.9 Crashing on Rendering MP3 and H.264 Files

Report · Feb 17, 2021

Hello,

I've been using Media Encoder for over a year to render my podcast audio and video files with no problems. Today, it has started crashing about 10-15 minutes into every render. Nothing has changed on my end other than maybe a new version of Media Encoder. I honestly don't even know when it updates so I don't know if this is my first time trying to render with a new version or not.

I have tried rendering these files on both a macOS 10.14.6 iMac Pro and a new M1 Mac Mini running the latest version of macOS.

Is anyone else having these problems? What could I do to try to diagnose this issue? I can't publish any of my new episodes while it keeps crashing like this.

For what it's worth, I was able to render these files fine using Premiere Pro to render them so this appears to be a Media Encoder problem. I am also having problems rendering anything from After Effects in Media Encoder. Is the latest version of Media Encoder broken?
