Cannot export selector 9 error code 6

Cannot export a project. I keep getting the error below. Can anyone help?

One drive is grand for backup but not for editing.

Use a local or external drive.

If your audio is mp3, convert to wave or Render and Replace.

You can try turning off Hardware encoding in the export settings.

Even if that works, I would take the advice of Ann Bens .

Thanks so much for replying. I have changed Hardware Encoding to Software Encoding and changed the export location to an external drive but still no luck

Hello @Angelique_4302,

Thanks for the note. Error code 6 is an unknown error, however, chossing File > Save As, then renaming the project file can work, as it has for others troubleshooting the error. If it does not, try the same to a secondary drive. Please also avoid any interaction with "One Drive." I would avoid One Drive for the File > Save As for your first step. Let us know if it works.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, 

Thank you so much! This was the fix! Not exporting to One Drive and clicking "save as" and renaming the project did the trick. Thank you! It's very much appreciated!
