Hi paulw16886556,

Please let us know if you were able to solve the issue you were facing with export. If you are still facing the issue, please try to switch the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and check if it's exporting properly.

Hi there,

 

I am having the same error! When I try to switch the renderer like Sumeet suggested, then it freezes and becomes non-responsive. 

 

Anyone able to resolve this yet?

Try exporting to another drive.

Mike was correct about asking if you can export parts of the sequence.

Normally that warning  ... including a time stamp ... means you need to go to that spot and figure out what is causing the problem.

Sometimes simply undoing and reapplying some effect works.

Hi Paul,

Are you able to export just part of your timeline? Are you able to export other formats eg. DNX MXF, QT?
