Hi markmelnik,

Sorry for the issue. I understand you are getting this error every time you try to export your file using Adobe Media Encoder. Please answer the following questions so that we can troubleshoot the issue better:

1. What are your computer specifications (like RAM, GPU, Processor etc)?
2. Are you able to export via Adobe Premiere Pro?
3. Does the error occur at the beginning of the export or at some specific timecode?

Additionally, please try exporting the file after switching the video renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Shivangi

I forgot to say, that it's not the Media Encoder - this error occurs in Premiere Pro at the start of the render.

My laptop specs:

Acer Aspire V nitro

Intel Core i7-7700HQ 2,8 GHz

16GB RAM

Windows 10 with the latest updates

Premiere Pro CC the latest version

PS: this message shows not every time I try to render something, but once in a while

What would be the issue if it was happening at a specific timecode?

I'm having a similar issue.

Thank you

You have to go to that part of the sequence and troubleshoot.

Sometimes undoing/replacing an effect, sometimes deleting/replacing the clip, a number of things could be the problem.

Hi,

For those coming to the post, the general issue issue can happen when overloading your GPU with too many effects or processes.

Workaround: you can switch to Mercury Playback Engine "Software Only" - if you are exporting from Premiere Pro. Just choose Project (or Production) Settings > General and under Renderer.

A few editors got clear of the error after deleting excess video preview files folder. Some just made more room on their hard drive.

Overall, it's usually a GPU issue. Bypassing the GPU can workaround this issue. Buying a more performant GPU solves the issue.

Thanks,

Kevin
