Premiere Pro and Media Encoder crash while rendering H.264

I'm having the same issue. I've tried all (not all actually) the tricks written on this page and nothing...

It's interesting that some who had this problem could solve it with a "weird solution", such as removing or downsizing a JPG or something. I could find on Youtube a guy who disabled his Bluetooth device before start the export process and it worked for him.. I mean... it seems that everyone has to find it's own way to make it work. All this information makes me think that i'll have to pick another SW editor to work =( because it looks like a lottery.

The only thing i did not try was change my power supply.... I have a 500w real.

Here's my settings:

Intel i7 4771 3.50ghz

4 GB RAM

Windows 10 Pro 64 bits

GTX 1050 2 gb

And i'm not going to change my power supply bcause I can barely see any solution coming from it, just like many others...

Well, it's more about a vent instead of a helping ask... but if someone has the another solutions pls tell me.

----------------------------EDIT-----------------------------

I Found out that I can export my video choosing the option AVI (Uncompressed). This generates an extremely huge file. My 14 minutes long video was transformed into a 72GB avi file. For now it doesn't matter. After that I opened the avi on Media Encoder and tried to convert it with H.264. For my surprise it worked better, it reached about 70% of the process, but then again, it crashes the computer. Everything stops.

Could it be a problem with codecs or something? Should I install a package?

----------------------------EDIT2--------------------------

So, Here's the thing.

I Continued trying export from Premiere, without Media Enconre. I'm making some tests with different length videos.  I could get some information from it.

In tiny length videos, the export process goes with no problem I tried many times 30~80 seconds video. With videos above 1 minute it goes bad. Then i repeated with a long video but this time I increased the velocity of my GTX 1050 fans with the MSI Afterburner and also increased the fan of the CPU cooler, the intel processor cooler with SpeedFan both over 100%. Doing that made the export process go further, I got 40%, then it crashed again. Does it has to do with the problem?  I don't think that my GTX 1050 is a bad Card, or even my i7 processor, but why they lead the process go longer then? After changing the speed of the fans I got a 23 C° on my CPU, which is super cold. The normal is between 40~48Cº.

Thanks

I have had this problem on and off since starting to use PPro Creative Cloud.  I was very hopeful that the latest version (Sept 2016) would solve this problem, but it has not.  My work-around is to render in two steps.  The first step is to render to QuickTime 422, and the second step is to render the QuickTime file as H.264.  Of course this makes it impossible to publish to YouTube in a single step, which is extremely annoying.  And it means I need 5x more space on my render drive for intermediate files than for my final renders, which is also extremely annoying.

I'm not sure if everyone has found this issue to be resolved, but I wanted to let you all know that the above fixes did not work for me, however I finally figured out a solution that did.

My timeline would render through just fine, but would crash while exporting to H.264 (I did not try other file types) and every time it crashed it was at 46% (or 92% if I did single pass VBR).

I realized the problem was a JPEG I was using at the end of the video. The resolution was too big and it was crashing Premiere. I brought the file into Photoshop and changed it from 600dpi to 300dpi. Re-imported to premiere, exported and presto!

Not sure if this will be the solution anyone was looking for, but figured I'd still share.

Take care,

Tim

I was having the same issue exporting a 45 second video with the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2015 running on a new iMac w/ OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and a Nvidia graphics card. No video plug-ins installed.

Tried many of the steps above: cleaning cache, exporting via Adobe Media Encoder, etc without any luck (although at one point, by some miracle, I was able to export the project successfully, though the export failed after I tested the export a second time.)

I finally phoned Adobe support and was connected with someone almost immediately.

I shared my screen with the support agent, and after about 45 minutes of adjusting a number of settings, we successfully exported the project without any freezes.

A lot of what we changed was a little over my head, but basically he somehow determined that some effect I had used was not cooperating with my graphics card.

He saved my project as a new project and then made sure my sequence settings used Quicktime + Apple Pro Res 422 under Video Previews.

Next he re-rendered the project from in to out. This took about 5 minutes. (45 sec project, 1080p, mostly MTS files, one .MP4 file, and a .mov file that had been rendered out from AE).

He then went to File/Preferences/Memory and changed "Optimize rendering" from "Performance" to "Memory."

Finally, he exported the project using the Apple Pro Res 422 codec.

I apologize that this answer is a bit vague, but I think it's safe to say that this is a graphics card issue that can be resolved. Call Adobe support!

I also will reply, if this helps others.

I was able to solve the issue of Premiere Pro.  After spending hours working with Adobe support, they were not able to identify what was wrong.

I am running a newer 8core 4.6ghz AMD processor with 2gb video card and 32gb RAM, but why was PP crashing when editing a video?

I figured out that if I copied all my project files to the local SSD drive, and did not have any working files on a local standard harddrive or usb drive, then it worked fine.

So now I just move all my project files off of usb and regular drives to the local SSD drive before I start a new project, which is the same drive where Windows and PremierePro is installed, and then it works fine without crashing or other issues.

Just wanted to share, and hope that helps.

Oop! Whadya know!

Well that ROYALLY messed up my project! Now most of my footage is unlinked, when I try and link it up it tells me that the audio is not detected and that if I continue the deletion of the audio track cannot be undone. Then there is the whole crashing every time I try and relink it up anyway to try and build everything back up. So what on earth am I supposed to do NOW!

I was running into a similar problem - fortunately cleaning the media cache database and trashing the preferences worked for me. Hope others who this doesn't work for can find a fix.

Hi All,

I have exactly the same behavior - Premiere Pro CC crashes during rendering and export. I have a iMac 27" with:

Model: iMac14,2, BootROM IM142.0108.B02, 4 processors, Intel Core i5, 3.4 GHz, 8 GB, SMC 2.15f2, TOSHIBA 512GB SSD

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M, PCIe, 2048 MB

• The Adobe Premiere and all other CC Programs are all updated

• I tried it with CUDA, without (per Software and OpenGL rendering)

• I erased the Premiere cache and started with Shift + Alt

• I make a complete new project and sequence and tried to export old films, that I exported before

• I deinstalled CUDA

• The Adobe folder inside the preference folder (Library) is set to read&write for me 

• The hard drives are all checked with disk utility

• The OS X is Mavericks and started several times with cmd + alt + p + r for cleaning the processor ramm

• My iMac is clean and stays cool during rendering and exporting

What else can I do?

I just started having this happen, and I may need to re edit a whole f-ing project in the next day if Adobe doesn't take care of their problem. Not happy.
