Premiere Pro maxing out working memory while exporting

[Xanadoodle]

I'm running a new (few months old) Macbook Pro with 32 GB memory, dark drive about half full. I edit hour+ D&D games, and up until today I have never had these problems exporting, but now every time I try to export this thing it goes for about a half an hour before it says it's maxed out the computer's working memory and stops. 

I've turned off everything I can think of in the background, but still keeps happening. I have to have this thing up on YouTube tomorrow and there's no way I am going to make the deadline, but how the heck do I get this thing out of Premiere Pro?

Hey Xanadoodle,

Welcome to the community. We're sorry to hear about this. Could you let us know what your timeline looks like? What effects and plugins are you using for your project? Do you experience this issue while exporting through the native encoder and Media Encoder? Please share your sequence and export settings as well.

Thanks,

Ishan

Attached screen shots of settings and timeline, not much in the way of effects, and no plugins I know of (it’s three video pieces with two image overlays at any given time, but a number of audio tracks). I have made files twice this big in the 2022 version, but I made this one in 2023 Premiere Pro and everything is terrible now. I am unfamiliar with the Media Encoder vs native encoder difference, I just hit export. I’ve tried both Match Source and the YouTube Full HD export options. I have been using Premiere Pro for a number of years but I’m entirely self taught, so there may be something simple and major I’m missing, but in 8 years this is the first time I’ve run into this issue!

Update: I was able to export the video above in 15 minute chunks and put them into Premiere Pro 2022, the memory pressure bar never climbed above low green once, while 2023 was sending it into the high yellows within 5 minutes, maxed out by about 20. I'll just be working in 2022 for now. Hopefully they get whatever this is sorted, because the ONLY difference in my workflow being able to handle, like, 4 Adobe programs, Dropbox and a bunch internet tabs working at once and it not even working with a fresh restart and nothing else running was upgrading to 2023. This was one of the shorter videos I was working on even! I dunno, man.
