1. Install the latest Premiere Pro updates
Before proceeding with any troubleshooting steps, ensure the root of the problem isn’t just you having an outdated version of Adobe Premiere Pro.

Restarting your computer is always the first thing you should do after encountering an error and before applying any other fixes.
3. Ensure that you have enough storage space
If Adobe Premiere does not export video, it’s possible that you don’t have enough storage space. To fix this issue, tryfreeing up some spaceand try again.
The error may also occur if you are using an external hard drive as a storage device for exported videos. Try to export the videos to the internal hard drive and see if it is resolved.
This is particularly helpful if you get Disk Full, I/O Error, or Invalid output drive errors.
4. Close the other programs
If you are gettingUnable to save file. Destination file is in use by Premiere, or destination file is in use by Adobe Media Encodererror, then look for any other application that might be using the destination file.
If you have other programs using the same file or trying to access the location, close the program and relaunch Adobe Premiere Pro.
5. Change the rendering optimization preferences
If Adobe Premiere does not export video, the issue might be related to virtual memory. You can fix this by changing the rendering optimization preference from Performance to Memory.
6. Check for Folder permission
If you are writing into a folder without appropriate permission, you may encounterUnable to create or open output fileerror. To fix this, you must take full control of the said folder.
Adobe Premiere Pro does not require Full Control on any location but only permission for reading and writing. However, providing Full Control permission can resolve permission-related errors.
7. Change the codec format
By default, Premiere Pro uses h.264 or MPEG codec format for rendering videos. However, due to compression issues, you may get the following message error:
Codec compression error. This codec may be unable to support the requested frame size, or there may be a hardware or memory problemerror.
To fix this, try to change the codec format as explained above.
8. Check Media for file corruption
If Adobe Premiere does not export video, some project frames may be corrupt.
One way to fix this is to disable all tracks but one and export the video. Do this for all the tracks until you can recreate the exporting error.
If found, save the project with a different name and export the project by removing the problematic frame or track.
After that, please create a new project, open the problematic track or frame, and save it with a new name. Open the exported video import the newly saved corrupt frame and insert it into the completed project.
Export the video, and you should be able to render it without any error.
