Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Exporting Takes Forever

  • Exporting Takes Forever

    Whenever I export a video from Premiere (either directly from within Premiere or Adobe Encoder), the progress bar will get to 100%, but then just sit there for a LONG time before the window closes and the file is ‘finalized’. Example–I just got done with a 50-minute export, but I have been waiting for over 30 minutes for the encoding window to close. If I look in the folder where the exported file is, it shows the main file as well as a file with an extension of ‘mp4.xx.xx’.

    Why is it doing this? I want to get the file uploaded to Youtube ASAP, but I feel I need to wait until everything is closed correctly. (and just as I was typing this post, it finally did so)

    I bought a new Dell Alienware Aurora R10 with AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (12 core) 64 GB ram, AMD RX 6800 XT16GB GDDR6. This edits 4K way better than my previous machine, but it still stalls at the end of a render. I rendered a 75 minute 4K video and got to the 100% screen over 2 hours ago, yet it still won’t finalize the file so I can upload it to Youtube.

    Even if you don’t have a solution, let me know if this is typical. I bought this expensive (for me, anyway) computer to help with 4K video, and this aspect keeps slowing me down as much as my old computer did.

    I bought a Samsung SSD M.2.NVME and that makes quite a bit of difference. Using a regular hard drive, exporting a 50-minute 4k file took 55 additional minutes after reaching the 100% mark on the progress bar. Exporting to the SSD took an additional 9 minutes. Still a lot longer than I would like, but obviously much better than 55 minutes.

    The amount of time it took to get from 0% to 100% was essentially the same.
