Premiere and Media Encoder CC encoding issue

Hi all,
I am having an encoding issue with PP and ME CC. My video assets are fine, and on the timeline they appear how they should, but when I look at the rendered h264 video there are encoding errors in the video. I have attached two images, the black is how it should look and the white is the error. The video plays fine and then it flickers between the images shown. 
It has done this on a few different videos I have rendered over the last few days and I don't know why. It also happens to a different machine on CC as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi James,
I've never seen this before. Can you give us more info? Answer all the questions on this FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Thanks,
Kevin

  • Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format.

    This is on a Windows 8.1 PC.
    The edit exported fine until I made one big mistake.
    I created a Nested Edit to make a quick alteration.
    Since then the following is now the case and I cannot go back to an earlier edit to fix this.
    Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format. Using either the Export Option or Media Encoder.  Get a dialog that says "Unknown Error Compiling Movie"
    There is nothing wrong with my footage.  This edit worked fine and I export through Media Encoder many times until I made a Nested Edit within the Premiere Project.
    I have tried all sorts of searches on the net for a fix to this but nothing seems to be current or indeed works.
    Any help would be appreciated as this is a show stopper.

    Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.
    I have found a work around but it still leaves a long term issue for Adobe to fix.
    As to your first solution:
    1).  The nested edit is already in its own timeline panel.  It will not export or encode via media encoder.  This is the problem.
    2).  I will try the KEM roll feature but I have a work around see following.
    3).  No I do not have a nested edit within a nested edit.
    I did a lot of research on the net on this issue as it happened to a colleague of mine on his machine about two weeks ago.  It took me six hours to get a fix and in his case there were six video clip that had read errors.  When I overwrote those clips from the original backup master it fixed the problem.  However I was never able to use Media Encoder again to export his project without it failing.  I could only use the Export feature.  Again he had used a nested edit in his project.
    I my case I do not have any nested edits within a nested edit.  All I did was drag my main edit onto the New Sequence icon at the bottom of the Project Bin.  This of course created a nested edit in a new Timeline Panel which is what I wanted.  I then slid the entire nested edit to the right in the timeline by two seconds as all a wanted to do was add two seconds of black at the head of the edit.  That was it.  From that point of creating the nested edit Media Encoder and the Export option failed every time with the fore mentioned error.
    The final work around was one of those I found previous mention of during my research.  I created a new clean Premiere Pro CC 2014 project, I then used the import option under the file menu.  I imported only the original main edit which brought in that edit along with all the required footage.  This would then export to disk using the Export feature.  However, Media Encoder will still not encode this new edit, it fails the same way every time, 'Unknown Error Compiling Movie'.
    As a test I loaded the old corrupt edit project back up and deleted the nested edit sequence completely and re-saved it.  This had no effect and did not fix the problem.  This particular project file will no longer export directly or via media encoder at all no matter what I do.
    This seems pretty serious to me.  I worked on this edit for a whole month without issue, encoding out roughs as a went without any issue, it was only yesterday after I made the nested edit that the project file is now useless as it will not encode out at all.  Yes I have a work around and was able to salvage my project and get it rendered in time for my deadline but the fact I have a partially working Project that Media Encoder will not touch does not instill me with confidence for long term use of Premiere Pro if this is going to happen again.
    Is there some place I can send this project file to Adobe to see if they can find out what is wrong with it?  I am not the only person having this issue I have seen other post going all the way back through CS6 it seems.

  • Premiere and Media Encoder - h264 corrupted encode

    Hello all
    I'm writing here since I simply cannot find a solution to my problem, recently out of a sudden my adobe premiere and Media encoder have been giving me corrupt h264 encodes, the files apparently encode but adobe does not put them in a container. The .m4v file is unplayable and the same goes for the audio file; here is a sample from MediaInfo:
    No matter what sequence or project I try to encode with h264 this happens while I can encode to any other extension/codec with no problems. While using the same project file and the same source files on another computer the encodes finishes without a problem. Even a simple timelapse with just JPEG pictures on the timeline results in this problem. I have no idea what to do but I simply cannot encode with anything else so any help is appreciated (P.S. the 4k resolution here is a timelapse, most encodes I try to do are 1080p @ 25fps, since most people bump at this resolution 1st)
    I'm running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.5) updated to the latest on Windows 7 64bit.

  • Latest Premiere and Media encoder CC update shuts down

    Latest Premiere and Media encoder CC update shuts down when you load saved file or try to export to media encoder.
    I tried restarting after update, next is to revert to previous version.

    Every time I've try to export from Premiere Media Encoder gives me this error message that says: Installation error - please ensure this product have been installed properly.
    I can't find a way to only reinstall media encoder from CC
    It was working fine before the last Premeire update.

  • How can I get a copy of Premiere and Media Encoder CS6?

    I need to be able to convert a video that has an alpha channel into an FLV file for import into Captivate 8. Captivate only works with FLV and MP4, and only FLV has an alpha channel. However, FLV was removed as an option from the CC version of Premiere/Media Encoder.
    Supposedly, you can download old versions of the software from the CC desktop app, but I can't. In my CC app, there is no Old Versions option in the Filters, and there is no option to download old versions on the Install buttons, or anywhere else for that matter.
    We have the Team version of CC, and our IT dept is switching us over to Enterprise, if that has anything to do with it.
    So, is there any way to download and install CS6 versions of Premiere and Media Encoder?

  • Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder crash on Export

    Hi
    I Run Premiere CC and media encoder on a 2011 27in iMac with 12GB RAM. Until recently everything exported fine. But now when I either do an export from within Premiere or queue via Media Encoder it crashes halfway through. I've tried reinstalling both to no avail. Any idea to why this could be happening and how can I fix it? I'm running Yosemite.
    Cheers

  • Premiere and Media Encoder Crashing During Export of Quicktime Files

    Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC crashes when exporting Quicktime H.264 files. Sometimes the export will work, sometimes it crashes the app. After crashing, the app will freeze while loading "ExporterQuictimeHost.bundle" and requires a hard re-boot of the system to startup again.
    I have tried removing some Quicktime codecs from the Quicktime library folder, as suggested in other threads. This has not solved the problem.
    I am editing with Quicktime ProRes 4444 files.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here's some system info:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010
    OS X 10.9.4
    2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    36 GB Memory
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 1536MB
    Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
    Cuda Driver Version 6.5.14
    Creative Cloud CC 2014

    I'm having similar problems. I can't export anything now...either from Premiere or from Media Encoder. My sequence is ProRes HQ, I am exporting using sequence settings.
    It gets about 75% of the way through and bails with this error message:
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    That's really helpful. Addtionally, when I tried to export out of Media Encoder, I was greeted by an extremely loud bleating goat noise when it failed. Nice. I had a room full of clients. Thanks Adobe.
    I'm seriously doubting the claim of "Pro" at this point.

  • MXF issues on CS6 (Premiere and Media Encoder)

    Hello all,
    In our station workflow we use Sony XDCAM (DV25). Until last week we were running PPro CS5 without any problems with the MXF files. Since the upgrade (skipped 5.5) we have serious issues with this wrapper. Importing takes ages, espescially on large files (>0.5Gb). And I'm not talking about conforming or indexing... I'm talking about the import stage. The edit suite freezes until the file is imported. And we have 5 editing suites and all with the same issue. The same happens if we drag/drop a MXF file in Media Encoder. It takes about 10mins from the 'drop' file until we're able to change encoding settings.
    The second serious issue is that the MXF file sometimes (randomly) during editing looses it's audio. A program restart sometimes restores the audio, sometimes doesn't.
    The QT32server service is running more than one instance (in CS5 there was only one instance no matter how many CS apps were running). If I terminate these instances the pc runs smoothly.
    All CS6 apps are fully updated.
    Any ideas?

    The second serious issue is that the MXF file sometimes (randomly) during editing looses it's audio. A program restart sometimes restores the audio, sometimes doesn't.
    I wish I had a solution for you, but I don't. We are experiencing the exact same thing.
    Have you (or anyone else) figured out what's up? Our situation is IDENTICAL.

  • Error compiling movie. Unknown error. In both Premiere and Media Encoder

    I am trying to export a a batch of six sequences, out of Premiere Pro CC to my internal hard drive using the Apple ProRes 422 Quicktime setting. All of the sequence exports are failing in the first couple of seconds. This happens if I do them individually directly out of Premiere and if I export them out as a batch to Media Encoder. All get the same "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." error message. I have tried restarting the computer, that didn't fix it. I had the same problem with some other files yesterday but I was able to export them out individually OK. But with this batch, no dice. The sequences are all fully rendered. There aren't any problematic clips in the sequences, not that I can tell. None of the sequences is very long, only about 1-2 mins each.
    Any ideas?
    My system details are:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  • ImporterProcessServer constantly freezing Premiere and Media Encoder

    This is really bad. This project is due tomorrow and I need some help.
    I have a MacBook Pro with 2 GB Ram and a 128 MB Nvidia graphics card. Not the newest model, but it's sure fast. Anyway, I have Adobe CS4 Master Collection installed and am working with a lot of AVCHD video in Premiere CS4. When I go to export using Adobe Media Encoder, it freezes at a certain point. I have tried looking in the Console logs and this turns up:
    5/26/09 7:45:59 AM com.apple.launchd[96] ([0x0-0x1e21e2].com.adobe.MediaCore.ImporterProcessServer[11877]) Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID 11878 PPID 1 PhotoshopServer
    5/26/09 7:45:59 AM com.apple.launchd[96] ([0x0-0x1e21e2].com.adobe.MediaCore.ImporterProcessServer[11877]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
    Does anyone know anything about this problem or how to resolve it? I am simply exporting 720p60 H.264 video with AAC+ Version 2 audio. Exporting in small chunks works, but some scenes export and some don't. It seems kind of random. The one with the least transitions/effects actually freezes. I can't export the main sequence at all because it freezes at a point that works when exporting the scene individually. I have to force quit BOTH the media encoder AND premiere when this happens. And it takes roughly 5 minutes to load all the media for the project when I reopen it as well.
    This is a REALLY bizarre problem. I've seen some Google results for problems with the ImporterProcessServer on Windows, but only about one for Mac and it wasn't much help. I've tried trashing my preference files for Premiere and will try finding AME's preferences and trashing them, but I'm not sure that will do anything. Hopefully they get rid of this buggy ImporterProcessServer in Premiere 4.1. By the way, I am running 4.0.1 now.
    This happens when I'm just working with Premiere too. It forces me to force quit the application because the video and audio won't play.
    Any help would be really great.

    Morgan,
    Maybe something in this THREAD will help. It was on a PC, so much might not apply in your case - or it might. The thread also rambles a bit, and you may have to weed out a bunch of stuff.

  • CS4: Combine presets folder of Premiere and Media Encoder

    Hello,
    is it possible to use only one presets folder for Premiere and the media Encoder?
    C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\Presets
    C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\Presets
    Carlos

    The solution! :)
    Now I only have one of these two folders containing all presets. The "other folder" is a symbolic link to this folder using this tool:
    http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html
    Now it doesn't matter whether I am defining a preset in Premiere or in AME. It works fine!

  • Have the problem to export media use the queue after the latest update of Premiere and Media encoder?

    After update the Premiere CC 2014 and Encoder CC 2014, I couldn't export the movie use the Queue function?
    There always had a unknown error stop the process. (Compile error?)

    You need to fix that first.
    Export and preview in the Media Encoder and watch when it stops.
    There you need to fix the timeline.
    Start a new project to see if you can use AME.

  • Automated Screen Grabs in Premiere and Media Encoder

    I need to make screen grabs from a premiere pro movie that I am editing.  I was able to set up a preset in media encoder that will give me the format of images that I need.  What I can't figure out how to do is how to get media encoder to give me a certain amount of images per second.  The only thing that I can get it to do is make an image for every frame of the movie.  Final cut would let you program the auto scene grab function to (for instance) give you one image for every 2 seconds of the entire movie.  Any thoughts????

    I'm having similar problems. I can't export anything now...either from Premiere or from Media Encoder. My sequence is ProRes HQ, I am exporting using sequence settings.

  • Premiere and Media Encoder CC with Cineform(converted files have static for audio)

    Hi there,
    using Media Encoder CC to convert 7D and 5DMKIII video files to Cineform .avi and all I'm getting at the other end for audio is loud static.  Video is fine but audio is corrupt.  Anyone run into this with CC?  I didn't have this problem before CC.

    Do you have the same problem with other AVI codecs?  What about non-AVI options?

  • Using Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC at the same time

    Is this possible?  Doesn't seem to be.  Media Encoder bails on every job as soon as you try to render anything in Premiere.  I guess they don't play nice together, which is surprising.  I was hoping that Media Encoder would pause and wait for Premiere to finish a render.  Instead it dies on every render job, creating 0 size video files... while making a sheep bleating sound.
    Is this a GPU issue?  I have 2 nVidia cards, a 770GTX and 560GTX. (Windows 8.1, 16gb RAM, 3770k CPU)

    As soon as I initiate a render in Premiere, Media Encoder bleats, and all subsequent render jobs bleat and produce 0 size video output files... even if I quit the Premiere render before Media Encoder reaches some of those render jobs.
    I suspect this is a GPU sharing issue.... but can't be certain.
    What do you mean by new install?  Did I install it (AME or Premiere) recently? No.  I've had Creative Cloud on my machine for almost a year, and both Premiere and Media Encoder have been updated periodically.
    To my knowledge they have never worked together, but I only started using the queue feature within Premiere recently, so I haven't used AME until recently.
