Hi,

Sorry to all those still experiencing this bug occurring to some editors. Try this: Choose Preferences > Media and disable any Hardware Decoding Options. Reboot the computer. Try exporting once more. Works? Let us know.

Thanks,
Kevin

I saw this thread and found an easy solution wich worked for me.

1.Add a cross fade to the clip wich u cant render.

2. Render the clip

3. remove the cross fade and render the last part.

Somehow worked for me hope it does the same for you!

I just deleted everything in the timestamp, exported, cancelled the exportation, undid the deletion, and exported, and everything was fine.

Thanks, any comment or help is valuable

I had the same error and I was able to solve that problem by switching the render engine from "CUDA" option to "software only" in the settings

I had the same issue.  I ended up saving the problem sequence and adding it to the  timeline as a video file.  Added the transition effects and it was fine.  No idea why there was an issue, but this work around fixed it for me.

I started running into this when I upgraded to CC. Never had it in CS6. I just found a fix for me. I'll offer it as something to try.

I have a closing sequence that I put on the end of all my shows. Here's an example on YouTube. It'll just take a few seconds to watch.

It's not complex, but it does take two nested sequences, and I dissolve into the final composite. The render error started hitting the last frame of the dissolve.

The fix was to just make that dissolve one frame longer.

Here's a simple look at my timeline.

First, the render failed at the end of the dissolve (note the green/red transition).

Make the dissolve one frame longer, and the render succeeds:

TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUE:

I first found the failure at the end of a 90 minute render in Adobe Media Encoder (AME). That created a log file with the time code of the error. So I zoomed into that spot and experimented by setting the Work Area bar around the problem spot and doing a Sequence/Render entire work area.

Something else that worked was to render up to the error, then set the Work area bar a few frames after the error and render another second or two. Then I moved the Work area bar into the unrendered spot, made it one frame long, and rendered one frame at a time. For some reason that worked, and if I did my output with "Use Previews" checked, the final render worked.

I'd say there's still something wrong with Premiere Pro causing this error. Nothing in my timeline was that unusual or complex. So I wonder when it'll bite me again.

I'm using Adobe CC 2023 after 4 years of working with Premiere Pro, and this error has just made it's first appearance for me.  @GPearce10's troubleshooting technique helped me solve this and move on with my work!  I spent 3-5 minutes hunting for solutions, and when I saw my error code in his screen shot, I jumped in, found the transition at the indicated time code, shortened it by 2-3 frames, and re-rendered with no error. 

 

BRAVO, @GPearce10, bravo.  Six years later, this solution still works!  (And sadly, Premiere Pro still produces this error under who-knows-what circumstances!)

Yes that is fine.

You need to read that doc as there is no ready made solution.

Its al trail and error.

If you are using the Upload feature to Youtube uncheck that.

The error message also gives a time indication. Check that on the timeline and fix it.
