Audition freezes on export - before choosing location

Report · Feb 25, 2021

Every time I try and export my Sequence as a Multitrack Mixdown, as soon as I select this and choose either Entire Session or Selected Clips Audition freezes before I can go any further. I'm on Audition 13 and updated to 13.0.13 and it still did it. I have to use Task Manager to force quit, every time I try.
It's a simple 2 track mix, which I do every month, nothing fancy.

In the end I had to export to Premiere to get an export, which isn't an idea situation. Help!

Is this on a Mac or a PC? It might help if you locate and post here the last log file (see the help menu) - it should indicate what Audition is waiting for.

Thank you, I'm on a PC. This is one of the logs from this morning:

I can't tell you exactly what's causing this, but I can tell you where it all goes wrong...

Ticks = 27532 <10940> <DynamicLink> <5> AME app path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2020\Adobe Media Encoder.exe
Ticks = 198594 <10940> <AuLog.Shutdown> <5> AuUI termination sequence started...

Despite some supposed claims to the contrary, there is definitely some sort of issue with NVIDIA video cards and Premiere at present, and it probably goes further than that. I'm mystified as to why this process is trying to open Media Encoder 2020 at all, but that's the one app that really isn't getting on well with NVIDIA - and I can tell you that from personal experience. the whole situation looks like a bit of a train crash, and it's only happened since the last updates, a few days ago.

You need to send the logs to the developers, with a covering note, at audbugs@adobe.com and make sure that they have an email address from you as well. And if you hear nothing, don't be afraid to email again.

Thank you. The problem was exporting from Audition (i was working audio only) and only fired up Premiere to export there, as it was the only way I could export. (if that makes sense?)

I'll just check through the logs again and see if there is anything else. But I'll definitely contact the devs and see what they say.
