Switching settings from Hardware Encoding to Software Encoding worked for me !! I have RTX 4060, i7 13th Generation and 32GB RAM and still I was facing this problem !!

Great! changing the encoding setttings to software finally allowed me to export the file correctly. But it takes too long, im used to lightning fast export times due to my graphics card RTX 3080 but its great that I was finally able to finish the project. Many thanks

My typical solution from earlier years is to close explorer.exe so it wouldn't use that much memory for a heavy footage when exporting :D

I upgraded to premiere pro 2023, with high hopes since it works good for a couple of days and then I get all gazillion bugs same old same old, wasting time making the program works instead of focusing on the project i am working. I feel like I have abusive relationship against Premiere pro, it's like it's saying she won't cheat again, but will keep doing so and I tolerate it. I had to reworked my project for premiere pro 2022 since I started it in premiere pro 2023. If only Davinci Resolve has solid motion graphics features I wouldn't touch any Adobe program except Illustrator and photoshop. If only I could fist fight any Adobe employee to contain my rage, it would be lit.
