The known issue of NVIDIA and Premiere Pro not working together and crashing has been causing me more issues than just crashing. I first ran into error code 39, then it started giving me other errors that I don't exactly remember what they said, though it exported 1 video 3 times when I clicked export once, and all of the videos were corrupt files. I also ran into this problem last night while trying to export the same video, waiting around 10 minutes for the 100% to go away and give me the notification that it had been exported, but I got tired of waiting, tried canceling, and Premiere crashed.

The issue I had is that my harddrive/storage was full. I deleted some files and the file exported successfully. Right click your harddrive and select properties(windows) and make sure you have enough space for the new exported file to save on the harddrive. I recommend freeing up double the space of the new file.

So I have about a 15 minute long video that I am trying to export but for some reason it is failing to export every single time and it is always near the end of the video and I can't work out why. I get 39 and I am writing with exporter H.264. The file type is H264 and the average timecode when it fails to finish the encode is 00:15:17:13. The video is mp.4 and the audio is AAC. Please help!

I worked aroudn this by choosing software render instead of using hardware render. Donwside: render time multiplied by 5. Adobe, any idea on when this will be solved? Is it really an Nvidia issue? Are you coordinating to solve it?

same issue on most current version of nvidia game ready, and studio drivers. tried rolling back to studio and game ready from feb 2023, same issues, tried rolling back to version that adobe recommends, same issues. several restarts and reinstalls of everything as well. cannot fix this issue. please help adobe.

I started getting exactly the same issue yesterday in the evening. Before that all worked perfectly fine. I have NVIDIA Ge Force GTX 1050 Ti, the system says that drives are up to date. Just updated the Premiere itself, the issue remains.

I dropped Premiere and Encoder back to 23.2 and it is still failing. Just like someone else said (and verified in the log), it almost gets done, then fails. AMD proc, NVIDIA 2070 super, Win 10, tried both game and studio drivers on previous version. Error report follows:

@Raz295366934cp2 [I've tried everything people have suggested on the thread] what suggestions, I just see post saying 'same thing here'. How about some file type info, editing with h.264? (Bad choice). Since there seems to be no suggestions, I would for certain try deleting my cache. 3 people mentioned a version#. Mac or PC. We need more to go on.

Did you try exporting to a different format? If you've been using h.264 exports try to export in ProRes. Maybe LT or even Proxy. If that works you could make a 264 from there. ProRes files are typically visually lossless. Since most of you didn't specify a version, I'll give you this method to delete the cache.

Thank you for the reply!
Well I guess they weren't suggestions, just what other people were trying. And I'm using a PC, file type I've been using is h.264 I've never had a problem exporting videos around 30 mins long before, but I've just done one for 1 hour and 40 mins and thats the one I get the error on and doesn't seem to work.

I've followed your instructions and deleted all media cache, I tried exporting again and still had the same problem but I'll try changing the format , I'll try ProRes first and hopefully that does it. I only use h.264 because for some reason I thought it was one of the best formats to use for uploading on YouTube. But I'm guessing thats not the case.

Firstly, it is important to understand what this error means. When you try to export a video from Premiere Pro, the software generates a video file by rendering the project. During this process, the software may encounter an issue that prevents it from completing the export. Error Code 3 is a generic error that indicates an unspecified problem with the export process. Selector 9 is a specific reference to an element in the export process that is causing the error. This could be a clip, effect, or any other element in the project.

Premiere Pro offers a wide range of export settings, such as video codec, frame rate, and resolution. If the export settings you have chosen are not compatible with your project, you may encounter this error.

Double-check the export settings you have chosen and ensure that they are compatible with your project. For example, if your project has a resolution of 1080p, make sure that you choose an export setting that supports 1080p resolution.

One more method to handle the Premiere Pro export error code 3 issue is to stop using the software and rely on one of its replacements like MiniTool MovieMaker, a professional and easy-to-use video-making tool. It enables users to export in various formats including MP4, MOV, WMV, MKV, AVI, MP3, GIF, etc., or in formats that are compatible with other devices like iPhone and Galaxy Note.

In conclusion, Error Code 3 Selector 9 is a frustrating error message that can occur when exporting videos in Premiere Pro. It can be caused by many issues, including corrupt files, hardware problems, and software settings. By following the ways outlined above, you can troubleshoot the issue and get your video export back on track.

It is convenient to use Adobe Premiere Pro to produce videos if high definition and high quality. However, what should you do when error code 3 Premiere Pro appears? Do you have any effective workarounds? If not, this post on MiniTool Website will help you to fix this issue easily.

Adobe Premiere Pro is an excellent video editing software that enables you to import videos, audio, graphics and add videos in various formats. Although it provides you with powerful functions and video editing capabilities, it also has some shortcomings.

Another underlying cause of error code 3 Premiere Pro is an outdated or incompatible graphics card driver. To optimize the stability and performance of editing tasks, it is advisable to keep your GPU driver up to date.

The same file name will prevent you from exporting the desired file successfully, so you can rename the file to fix exporting errors like Premiere Pro export error code 3. In addition, the system cannot read special characters in the file name hence you had better ensure that there are no specific characters in your file name.

This article worked out by MiniTool Software mainly discusses the definition, causes, as well as solutions for Media Encoder error code -1609629695. It also involves the solutions for other similar or related issues related to other Adobe apps like Premiere Pro.

Adobe Media Encoder (AME) is a video/audio processing app that enables users to convert media files from one format into other types of files. Usually, it is used in conjunction with other Adobe apps like After Effects, Premiere Pro, Audition, Prelude, and Character Animator. Media Encoder saves much time for those programs for media encoding and it allows users to continue working on projects while media versions are being encoded.

First of all, the most direct and easiest way is to do it again, no matter which operation you are processing. Sometimes, you can close and reopen the Adobe applications and try once more. Or, you may need to reboot your computer, re-launch Adobe tools, and retry.

To alter the encoding mode from hardware to software will bypass GPU. Thus, the video rendering and exporting procedure happens without a graphics card. Yet, software encoding will make the editing process lengthier. Anyhow, the steps to change from hardware encoding to software encoding have been stated in the above content: Video > Encoding Settings > Performance > choose Software Encoding > OK > restart Premiere Pro.

If you are using an old version of Premiere Pro, especially a very old one, you should update it to the latest version to try to handle error code 3. You can simply check for updates within the program, and it will automatically detect, download, and install the updates on your computer. A restart may be required.

If you are running Adobe Creative Cloud in the background, it may cause the Adobe Media Encoder error code 3 problem. So, you just need to end all the services of Creative Cloud to resolve the error. Just do it in Task Manager!

4. Check for the system compatibility report for the causes. If there is a driver issue, just update or reinstall the corresponding drivers with a driver update tool. Or, vice versa, you may need to roll back your drivers if you recently updated them.

10. If you are not exporting to H.264, go to File > Project Settings > General, and select Mercury Playback Engine Software Only in the Video Rendering and Playback However, enabling the Mercury Playback Engine Software Only option may slow down the rendering speed.

Until now, have you got the Adobe Media Encoder error code: -1609629695 solved? Hope the answer is yes. If not, the last resort you can try is to search online for more solutions or post in proper forums to ask for help from professionals. Or, you need to contact the support service of Adobe to deal with your issue. Good luck!

When this multi-channel issue happens, it may reflect in the timeline as well. In the below example, all 7 tracks should look exactly the same (in terms of region placement and length) but instead looks like this:

The issue is merged clips causes the AAF to lose metadata (the identifying information Pro Tools needs to connect an audio file to the session). Think if it like putting a finished puzzle in the mail then having it show up on the other end back in pieces and all the pieces have turned black. Even if the person you sent it to knows what the finished puzzle is supposed to look like, they have no way of putting it back together.
