Premiere Pro CC (v7.2.1) crashing every time I try to export

Question

I've been trying to export a sequence on Premiere Pro CC (version 7.2.1) in editing mode: Canon XF MPEG2 720p, but I'm getting a message that says "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
I'm running a one-day-old iMac on OS X (version 10.9) with a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 16 GB of memory, so I wouldn't think the computer is the issue.
I've tried restarting both Premiere and my computer 15-20 times with no success. I've also tried emailing the project to a different computer to export (as a .mov), but I received a prompt saying "The project appears to be damaged. It cannot be opened."
The render bar is yellow, and I've tried to find a way to turn it green without any luck. I've tried downloading the patch on the Adobe site, and I've searched the forums for similar problems, but I haven't found a way to make it work yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Britton
