Error compiling movie error code -1609629695

Hi guys, had the same error. I fixed it by replacing oversized .PNG files  (6K .PNG in 2K Comp) with same files, but 50% smaller. Works perfectly. I hope this will help, or at least lead you somewhere towards the solution. Good luck!

Same error code here. Except trying to render an After Effects project in Media Encoder (same error if rendering within Ae too).

Running Late 2013 27" iMac i5

24GB RAM

GT 755M 1024MB

1TB standard HDD

I fixed this by deleting all occurrences of the lumetri color effect.  On my error, it was showing the time frame in the video where it was occurring.  It gets past some and not others.  Not sure what's happening.  If I ever need the Lumetri color effect, not sure what I'll do. 

So, will anyone from Adobe answer that? Because right now I'm looking to switch to Final Cut or Vinci - Premiere is just broken, it won't render, so I can't use it. I have a project I was working for weeks for, and now for many days I'm trying to export it again and again - just to get an error after hours of waiting.

BTW, when previewing in Premiere, everything works fine. Is there any way to render to that "preview" format, so I could get this job done anyhow?

Same problem here... rendering my very first video.  Such a bummer.

Generally I get this error when I have footage with a bunch of effects stacked on top of one another on a clip that is also using Warp Stabilizer. I'm not sure WHY it effects the render, because I can't recreate it from scratch, but I have a solution that MAY work.

Ideally this should only be done when you have picture lock, but if you aren't there yet with your edit then duplicate your sequence and keep one in a bin to revert to if need be.

Once you're ready, go to every clip you have War Stabilizer applied to. Right click on each individual clip and right click, select "Replace With After Effects Composition".

Once After Effects is launched, save the After Effects project as something you'll remember.

Once your clip is in After Effects, wait for Warp Stabilizer to process. After that, go back to Premiere and right-click on the dynamically linked clip, select "Render and Replace". Choose a place in your project folder to save renders to. Click "OK". This will render and flatten your clip to a native video clip.

Once you've done that to ALL of the clips in your sequence that have Warp Stabilizer, send your sequence to Media Encoder and render. Hopefully this will solve the issue, albeit in a very inelegant way.

Note: Once you've "Rendered and Replace" your clip, you will not be able to remove effects or extend the length of your clip. If you need to make changes, go back to your back-up sequence .

Same problem, rnadom fails with this error number at various points in the export.

Premiere is great when it works, btu it continues to crash out in numberous different ways, and is now probably the most frustrating program I've ever used.

As this is adobe's fault, and we're all paying for the problems caused by this, perhaps they could offer a work around, and render our projects in the cloud.

I wasn't getting this until updating to CC2017. Now I'm getting it on all my encodes, across multiple systems, with different setups that are otherwise reliable systems. So completely unreliable, with significant amount of lost time.

Adobe: you have the next 3-6 months to get your act together, otherwise make no mistake, I'm going to use your products less and less. Paying customers shouldn't have to make the decision to use older options or be your beta testers. This is completely unacceptable. I can hardly use Premiere Pro:

Opening projects is painful

For some reason, opening the "File" menu seems to be difficult for the program.

Using Lumetri fails to preview randomly

Using warp stabilizer fails to preview randomly.

Due to the above two failures of the program, my preview screen goes blank. Only restarting the program restores picture.

The updated old audio EQ and Dynamics (good), but forgot to set it so their edit boxes would display the full options (fail).

You doubled the amount of RAM for minimum and recommended. I'm assuming for VR and 360 footage? (Are these types of footage ready for primetime, and worth it? I don't know.)

Mind you, prior to CC2017, everything was running 100%, smooth, and at an acceptable speed for my setups. One is an i7 Surface Book with discrete GPU (that I now can't use because of the errors and failures of the latest version of Premiere Pro), the other an e5-1607 Xeon @ 3GHz w 16 GB ram and an NVIDIA Quadro 2000. BOTH FAILING WITH CC2017.

A slight apology for the rant. But I have plenty of time because I was waiting for an encode to finish using the Software Only renderer. Which also.Just.FAILED.

Shame Adobe. Shame.

I also get this error message!

i7 6850K

40gb RAM

GTX580

Windows 10 Pro 64bit

CUDA enabled or not makes no difference. A majority of time it stops when i use the dynamic link to AE. Mainly H.264 Codec.. but not only.

I will try it with an old Quadro Card, but i don't think this will help.

Can anyone from Adobe please help us troubleshoot this? I am having the same error and need to get it fixed asap!
