FIXED Issue: Export mode fails to load in Premiere Pro 23.2 and 23.3

We are aware of an issue that prevents Export mode from loading for some users. When clicking Export in the header bar, a loading spinner is shown, but export mode fails to load.  Selecting File > Export > Media or using the keyboard shortcut Command/Control+M, there is no result; you just stay in Edit mode.  In these situations, exports won’t work in Premiere Pro.  When in this state, Quick Export also fails to function.

 

This issue is known to affect Premiere Pro versions 23.2 and 23.3 on Mac and Windows.

 

If you are experiencing this issue, please update to version 23.4 or later to get the fix

 

If you can't update to 23.4, here are some workarounds to successfully complete your export in 23.3, 23.2:

 

Workaround #1 – Export with Media Encoder (RECOMMENDED)

  1. Launch Adobe Media Encoder.
  2. Select File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence.
  3. Navigate to your project file on disk and use the subsequent dialog to choose the sequence you want to export.

 

Workaround #2 – Reset Premiere Pro preferences

  1. Hold the option key while launching Premiere Pro.
  2. Choose Reset Preferences in the “Reset Options” dialog.
  3. Exports will now be successful.

 

Workaround #3 – Avoid using the “Match sequence preview settings” preset

  1. Do not choose the “Match sequence preview settings” preset in Export mode
  2. Choose another preset such as “Apple ProRes 422 LT” which will make a MOV file and match the sequence resolution, framerate, and preview render format (the same result as choosing Match sequence preview settings) –or– “Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate” which will make a high-quality MP4 file.
  3. If you use “Match sequence preview settings” once, you will have to reset your preferences to export again successfully.

 

Our engineers understand the problem well and are currently working on a fix. We’ll update this post when it becomes available.

Hello Becci and others on the thread,

I can understand how frustrating this issue is. I see the problem here on forums and on social media platforms. I hope I can offer some relief. The known workarounds are:

 

  1. Choose File > Export > Send to Adobe Media Encoder
  2. Reset preferences. This can work with new projects created in 23.3.
  3. For updated projects created in an earlier version of Premiere Pro, import the project into a new 23.3 project.

 

I apologize that this is happening to you. I raised th

When I open the export window or hit Command M, I get a spinning blue wheel that goes on forever. The program doesn't crash, and I can easily go back to "edit," but the Export window never fully opens. I have tried restarting.

 

I am using a MacBook Pro M1 Max with over 900 gb of free storage. 

My external harddrive (which is where my project files are) has 199 gb of space. 

Any advice?

ah - instead of making a new project and importing the old one, I did a Save As of the current project onto a different location and that worked... in case others need to know how to solve the spinning blue wheel issue on export. (running version 23.1.0 build 86 on Apple Silicon)

hmm... wondering exactly what's going on.  Were you saving to a different drive or just a different location on the same drive?  by any chance were there non-standard characters (like *, &) in your file or folder names?   And thanks for posting your workaround...  Not enough people do that.

Try resetting the preferences:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-premiere-pro/td-p/...

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/workspaces.html

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

First, impossible to tell your level of expertise from your post...  so not talking down to you, just trying to understand what's going on.  Is the timeline active or the sequence selected in the project/bin when you go to "export media?"   

 

might help to tell us your source properties and sequence settings...  Can you export a clip selected in the bin/project window rather than a sequence?

Same problem, I did all of those steps (and some more I found on the internet) and none of them worked. Even reinstalled already. I was exporting normally minutes before this started to happen, all of the sudden I couldn't export anymore.

 

Any ideia what else could work?

have you tried smart rendering?

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/faq-what-is-smart-rendering/td-p/10648488

Any questions about this workflow, post back...

The great thing about this workflow is if the timeline renders completely and plays back, it should export without issues if you enable "use previews" in the export dialog.  If the timeline does not render completely, it should point at the problematic clip or section of the timeline...

You might also tell us  your system specs: OS version, Premiere version, amount of RAM, Hardware specs including graphics card, and your source properties and sequence settings...

Just remember to go in and customize your preferences again.  I've got a client who's editing a complex project and he's started resetting preferences as a troubleshooting step...  But he never goes in a changes the things that we've decided should be customized.    So here's a solution to backing up and restoring your preferences

It's free and can be a life saver, particularly if you've done some heavy customization.

Is there enough free hard drive space?

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).

I'm having this issue too (started today, was fine yesterday) and it never even loads to the point where you can select a different drive. 

Export tab just spins the loading wheel and hitting File > Export just does nothing at all.
