Media Encoder Always Hangs at the End

[Stanley Arthur]

Media Encoder always hangs at the end of the export of an MP4. If it's a short 2-3 min video, it only hangs for a few minutes. If it's a 1-hour video, it hangs for a very long time. I tried the "pause" maneuver, but it's not working. I tried the pause trick again after waiting 20 minutes but ME crashed. It is infuriating to sit through a 42-minute render for this to happen. Adobe has never fixed this issue that has been reoccuring for years.

Hangs forever, or hangs for a long time?

[Stanley Arthur]

It seems that 3 minute sequences hang for a few minutes. One hour sequences, I don't know. I haven't let it go more than 30 or 40 minutes. I don't have the time to waste on it. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only guy having this problem as it's been talked about for years. I'm just flabbergasted that it has never been fixed.
