Why is Premiere crashing when exporting?

I found a solution.

Even during editing, my Adobe Premiere crashes when I played a certain clips. It happened to be a clip with 360 degree footage in 4k (very large). So I broke the clip up into pieces and for each piece I right-clicked and selected "render and replace." Eventually I found the problem piece. I decided to delete it, but there may be other solutions (eg. running it through the Encoder). In other words, I found a "bad" clip and removed it using this method, and it happened to be a very short portion (ie. 3 seconds) of a very, very large file that has been giving me issues for quite some time. Perhaps if I had a stronger machine this wouldn't be the case, but I am using a top-of-the-line Lenovo P51. It could also be because I am working off of an external hard drive. But this was my solution. It took me hours. Hope this helps.

I've found it can be corrupt files or a corrupt project. Is your creative cloud and apps updated? Try exporting out of Media Encoder.

Hi AimeeG,

I am sorry that you are not able to export your sequence.

Whenever I try and export my video, right when it gets to the encoding stage Premiere crashes.

Is there any error/warning message? If so, attach a screenshot.

What are your system specs, which OS and which Graphic card is installed on your machine?

Please share more details and we will try to troubleshoot this.

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
