FAQ
01Can Export Doctor fix my project automatically?+
No. Export Doctor is read-only. It helps you locate a likely issue and run a controlled test on a duplicate sequence or project copy.
02Does it upload my project?+
No. Diagnostics run locally. The plugin can download a versioned catalog update, but it never uploads your project, error log, or diagnostic report. The embedded catalog remains available offline.
03Which versions of Premiere Pro are supported?+
Export Doctor 1.2.0 requires Adobe Premiere Pro 25.6 or later on Windows or macOS.
Thirteen practical guides for failed exports.
Short, controlled tests - not a list of guesses.
13OFFLINE MEDIA EXPORT GUIDE
Media Offline during export? Identify where it is offline.
Check the project item first, then compare direct export with the same queued range.
12EXPORT STORAGE GUIDEDisk Full with free space? Check every write path.
Compare destinations before changing codecs, then check cache, previews and file-size limits.
11EFFECTS & LUT EXPORT GUIDEExport fails with an effect or LUT? Isolate one step.
Compare the same short export with one effect, transition or LUT removed.
10VFR EXPORT GUIDEVariable frame rate footage? Test the source, not the label.
Compare one suspect clip with a constant-frame-rate copy before rebuilding the edit.
09DYNAMIC LINK EXPORT GUIDEDynamic Link composition could not be rendered: isolate the link.
Test the After Effects composition without rebuilding the whole Premiere Pro sequence.
08COMPRESSED MEDIA GUIDEH.264, HEVC or AVCHD near the failure? Test the source clip.
Compare one short range before and after a controlled transcode.
07STALLED EXPORT GUIDEExport stuck at a percentage: isolate the blocking range.
Use a binary range test instead of treating the percentage as an exact timecode.
06AUDIO EXPORT GUIDEAudio rendering error: test the audio path first.
Isolate audio with one WAV export before changing video settings or clearing the cache.
05FRAME ERROR GUIDEUnable to produce frame: isolate the failing timeline area.
Use the reported timecode to run one short, controlled range test.
04MEDIA ENCODER LOG GUIDEAdobe Media Encoder error log: find the useful entry.
Locate AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt, preserve the evidence, then run one controlled test.
03MEDIA IMPORT GUIDEUnsupported Compression Type: identify the codec first.
Separate a documented M2V issue from a damaged or unsupported source.
02GPU ERROR GUIDEAccelerated Renderer Error: test the GPU at the exact timecode.
Separate GPU-path evidence from assumptions with one short export.
01PREMIERE PRO EXPORT HELPPremiere Pro export failed: what to test first.
Start at the reported timecode and change one variable at a time.
