Question

Premiere Pro exporting slow when it previously exported fast

Hi,

 

I've been using Premiere Pro for a few months now. Last year when I exported a video, it took about 10 - 15 minutes. Now, it's taking 4 to 5 hours. The size of the videos I'm exporting are roughly the same. I'm not doing anything different. I tried compressing the initial videos before adding them to Premiere Pro, and it still took 4 to 5 hours to export. 

 

Is there anything I can do to fix this?  Thanks

 

Laptor specs: 
Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H @ 2.70GHz 2.69 GHz
Installed RAM: 8,00 GB (7,77 GB usable)
System Typ: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Compressed formats take longer to process than uncompressed formats.

Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot of the properties of your source media in tree view:

You may need more RAM:

What effects and transitions are used?

Are any of them third party?

What are the hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

If NVIDIA graphics, make sure to use the latest Studio Driver from NVIDIA (NOT the Game Driver).

Hi. Thanks

 

1 hard drive. 475 GB, 82 GB free space.  Local Disk (file system NTFS)

 

Used a audio transition - exponential fade (1 second)

 

File and file sizes below: (only use a small portion of the music file). After exporting, the video size was 5 GB

Using the same laptop as last year.

That may not be enough free space, especially if it is an HDD and not a SSD.
