Premiere Pro Render Error with Lumetri Color Effect

[kashif_4448]

Dear Adobe Support,

I am experiencing an issue while exporting a project in Adobe Premiere Pro. The export fails with the following error:

• Error compiling movie

• GPU Render Error – Unable to process frame

• Timecode: ~00:00:26

• Rendering Effect: AE.ADBE Lumetri

• Component: EffectFilter of type GPUVideoFilter

• Error Code: -1609629695

I am exporting in H.264 format, but the render consistently stops at the same timecode. The issue appears tied to the Lumetri Color effect.

Steps already attempted:

1. Checked the clip around the error time for corruption.

2. Reapplied the Lumetri effect.

3. Cleared media cache.

4. Disabled the Lumetri Color layer. Export completed successfully afterward.

5. Switched to software-only rendering. Export still failed to complete.

System details:

• Premiere Pro version: 25.5 (latest version installed)

• OS: Windows 11 Home Single Language 64-bit

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti 4GB

• Driver version: 581.29 (Released Sep 10, 2025)

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS with Radeon Graphics

• RAM: 24GB (16GB Samsung + 8GB Samsung)

• Project settings: GPU acceleration enabled (CUDA)

Could you please advise the recommended steps to fix this Lumetri Color rendering issue? Since Lumetri is essential for grading, disabling it is not a workable solution.

Thank you for your guidance, as this project is time-sensitive.

Best regards,
MD Kashif Khan

If you export to ProRes or a DNx, does that go to completion?

What to Try First (My Suggestion for Your Case)

Given you already discovered the error only happens with Lumetri and consistently at the same time:

1. Isolate exactly which clip/frame.

2. Nest + apply Lumetri on the nest.

3. Replace any custom LUTs / reset the effect.

4. Try exporting a high-quality intermediate, then H.264 from that.

5. If all fails, reset prefs, clear caches, “Save As” new project, and reimport.
