Export freezing on Premiere Pro 2022.3. (MacOS)

I've got the same problem. Disastrous. I'm trying to export a 60-minute interview, but it always freezes when exporting, at the point when 63% is exported. Then the app crashes. I look at the folder it is meant to export to, and it shows up as 30-minutes long. Therefore, half of the interview is exported. What can we do?

I can confirm that the 22.3.1 update of Premiere and Media Encoder fixes this issue. *pfew*!

Had this issue a few days ago with two projects. I could export a video once but never again. Clearing media cache wasn't working, nor was using "software only" to export.

One thing that did work was making a new project with the current version on another directory. So most of mine were on the C drive and I moved the new one to D. Same project that was giving me issues exported cleanly. After that, however, trying to do the same thing from that directory caused a crash.

Hopefully that helps in the short-term, because the only other solution was reverting back to the old version, but I'm mostly commenting on this so Adobe sees it's a real problem. It's baffling how these things don't get tested thoroughly enough or how often they simply tell us to fix it for ourselves through a number of convoluted steps.

All in all it seems like a new version issue with cache files, but it doesn't always let you "delete all" from the program so it makes finding a solution difficult.

Hope this helps, though, and hopefully they fix the new version into something worth paying money for.

Same problem, i downgrade and problem solved.

I'm having exactly the same issues on Windows....plenty of resources and drive space here. My vid just locks up on export.........and I needed it to have finished rendering by this morning.  Oh well 🙂

A temporary solution is to move entire timeline past 35 min and export.That works

I contacted Adobe, and they said it was a known bug in 22.3, which they are working to fix. In the meantime, they suggested downgrading back to 22.2, which I did, and the problem went away. So, I guess all of us 4K ProRes people are stuck on 22.2 at the moment…

The downgrade was easy enough, although I did lose my export presets.

Here's hoping a 22.3.1 that fixes the problem comes out soon.

Same thing is happening to me. Any video export longer than 30 minutes. Always around the 30 minute mark. Whether I export with Premiere or Media Encoder. And I've tried CBR/VBR, Hardware/Software Encoding. Cleared cache.

Happened on three separate projects, all of which were created after the update.

My only fix has been to split the timeline, export the two halves, then import the exports and export them together, which is a nightmare for workflow and quality of final export.

I can confirm that this problem is 100% reproducible. It happens on several different movies, always around the 34 minute mark. It happens regardless of the specifics of the output setting (although it's always been ProRes), and with different source clip types (Canon, RED, although all 4K).

If I output around the point at which the freeze occurs, that works properly; it only happens if I'm outputting the entire timeline.

I've tried outputting HD footage, and that seems to work properly, even with the same output preset as above.

The symptom is the same: Media Encoder just stops, and requires a force quit to exit.

At this point, I can't output a movie. This is kind of a disaster.

I'm having the same problem. I'm not sure if it's the new update but when I export it always freezes at the same place. Please help.
