I can't batch export from my Premiere to Media Encoder.

[michaelkardis]

Everytime I try to batch export a bunch of sequences directly to Media Encoder it crashes every time. 

It's been doing this for months! 

Help!

Can we get more info about your media, system, and workflow, @michaelkardis?

Thanks,

Hey Kevin,

MacOS 12.6.9, Premiere version 23.6.0. Edit mostly in Avid DNx, ProRes and ProResHQ for on-air.

Hi,

That sounds unusual. Have you tried any troubleshooting processes like deleting media cache or resetting preferences? Have you tried importing the sequences via the Media Encoder File > Import > Premiere Pro Sequence method? See if these ideas might work for you. Let us know what happens.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Yeah I tried all that. It still crasheds everytime.

Hi @michaelkardis,

I just batch exported several sequences from a Mac with a similar setup, except my OS is Ventura. How many sequences are you exporting? Choose Help > Reveal Log Files in Media Encoder. That may also hold a key to what's going on here. I hope the community can help.

Thanks,

Kevin

Just to follow up on this. As you expedted, I did a clean install of 24.0.0 and ditched all my preferences and now everything works right. 

Thank you!
