When you see an error like this:
In Premiere Pro, After Effects, or Adobe Media Encoder, it can be incredibly frustrating. The error code doesn't match anything in Adobe's support documents, and you have a deadline that can't be moved.
What is happening? The simplest explanation is something in the render is causing the render to stall just long enough at a low level to cause the rendering to fail. There are many different reasons this could happen, so here are our best troubleshooting tips:
If you're using Adobe Media Encoder [AME] to render, switch to After Effects or Premiere Pro.
Switch to "Software Only Mode". In After Effects and Premiere Pro, you can find this setting in file->project settings. In AME, its a dropdown menu here:
3. Export to a different format. Generally this issue occurs when exporting to .mp4, so try a QuickTime (.mov) format.
4. Purge the cache files. In Premiere Pro, you can find that here:
In After Effects, it is here:
And here:
5. Clear the preferences: Launch Premiere Pro or After Effects while holding alt(option) + shift
6. Remove certain file types: .mp4 files and .mp3 files require a lot of processing power to unpack while rendering. If possible, swap these out for QuickTime (.mov) or wave (.wav) files.
7. Check your graphics drivers: On Mac, you can just check for normal software updates, for windows you may have to download a 3rd party tool like the Nvidia Geforce experience.
8. Check for effects: There may be an effect in your project that is causing this. Try exporting with each effect turned off separately, to try and find the problem effect.
