A week or so ago, Media Encoder suddely started "Preparing Audio" before rendering every time I export a sequence from Premiere. I'm assuming it's going through each audio file in the sequence, but I have never seen this happen before. This is extremely frustrating, and it is slowing my workflow and jobs down.
I never had happen before. I didn't change anything in my system or update anything during this time. I had not updated any Creative Cloud programs before this error first occurred. I couldn't find anything about this online--including the forums--except one place. Adone told the person to re-install the app with an older version. I have tried this, and nothing is changing. This problem still is happening.
I need a method to fix this. I am very savvy in regards to troubleshooting, and I'm at the end of my ropes. My projects need to be rendered, and it's taking forever to even get to rendering.
