Premiere CC crashing when dragging sequences to Media Encoder CC

I've always been able to do this in the past, but suddenly when I drag a sequence or multiple sequences to Media Encoder from Premiere, Premiere crashes and gives me the following:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[/sirreact64/releases/2013.03/shared/adobe/dvamediatypes/project/mac/../../src/TickTime.cp p-219]
and then a box pops up in Media encoder that says
Dynamic Link Error
Source is empty.
Anyone help?
17" Macbook Pro with 10.7.5
Premiere CC
Media Encoder CC

I am using the most updated version of PPro CC with OS 10.8.5. It seems to have issues with certain sequences and not others. It also may be the files themselves. They play fine in the program viewer and I have sent them to Media Encoder before, but if I create a new sequence with the same settings and copy the files into it, the same thing happens. I have a lot of 29.97 720x480 (1.21 pixels) and 1440x1080 (PAR 1.333) footage to edit together and create dvds out of (not my idea - it's a job) and I am in the middle of trying various ways of encoding to make it as clear as possible.
Currently I am using 1440x1080i HD anamorphic sequence settings encoding into 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic with frame blending, maximum render quality, Target bit rate of 30 VBR 2 pass. Then combining those files with other sequences into a longer 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic sequence and encoding MPEG 2-DVD NTSC widescreen progressive 100% quality, VBR 2 pass and the output is much better. This has been working, and today suddenly it stopped and started crashing. Any ideas?

Premiere Pro crashes when sending files to media encoder

Premiere Pro CC keeps crashing when sending files to Media Encoder. This is a new problem. I cleaned the cache, typed purge into terminal, checked the sharing in the preferences library and verified/repaired disk permissions. What else can I try? Help, I have urgent deadlines this week!

Premiere CC 2014 hangs when sending sequences to Media Encoder CC 2014

Whenever I try to send a sequence from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Media Encoder CC 2014, Premiere immediately freezes and becomes unresponsive. AME seems to still be running just fine.
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:
– Clearing the media cache.
– Clearing and moving the scratch disks.
– Deleting all render previews and re-building them.
– Completely re-installing all of Adobe's Creative Cloud suite.
– Importing the at-question PPCC14 project file into a fresh PPCC14 project and importing only the sequence I need to export.
– Dragging and dropping the at-question Premiere sequence into AME.
– Opening only AME and trying to drag the entire Premiere project file from Finder.app into AME's render queue. (This happens to work, as a matter of fact, however something strange happens once the sequence is in the AME queue. It pops up just fine, I can change the render settings and file export location, but when I click the green play button at the top right, nothing happens. AME doesn't hang or freeze up or anything, it's just that nothing happens. No prep, no nothing – very strange.)
– Uninstalling CUDA completely and tried using only OpenCL and software-only rendering engines.
– Opening the same at-question project on an entirely different computer.
– Trying to export from PPCC14 itself.
– Tried opening up an entirely different PPCC14 project and exporting – worked perfectly. So it must be something with this specific project file.
I eventually got it working (honestly, I'm not even sure what I did – at that point it felt like I was in a zombie state after four hours of troubleshooting and was just repeating troubleshooting steps because I was trying to hit a deadline with this export.) I was able to export it directly from PPCC14 – I was never able to get it to work with AMECC14, however.
Other miscellaneous noteworthy things: This project I'm trying to export is massive – it's a feature documentary that's about 2 hours in length. It's very complex in its edits, has a mixture of ProRes 422 files and .MTS files, and the entire project is reading media from three separate USB 3.0 hard drives. I know that's not the ideal workflow, but it's been doing just fine until this last time I tried to render out the latest export for our client.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

I've tried importing into a new blank project, but that did not seem to work. I then tried selecting the sequence in the bin and exporting that as a "Simplified Project" via the File menu. That still does not work when sending the sequence to AMECC14, but it does work when I render straight from PPCC14.
I have also found that as long as I give it enough time to load up and all that, I seem to be able to export just fine from PPCC14 itself – I'm still getting the freezing/hanging when trying to send to AMECC14 however.
Thanks for the help so far Cgunningham – I really appreciate it. I'll keep following up here if I find anything else new out.

Premiere Pro CC not queuing exports into Media Encoder CC

I try to make this simple...
standard export from PP CC to ME CC
File -> export -> media, then hit queue.
Media encoder opens and just sits there. Left it for hours to see if anything would ever happen, and nothing ever did.
I've restarted the programs and machine dozens of times and that does nothing.
I can still export from PP CC.
I have no CS6 products left on my box.
I also tried to open the project from Media Encoder and load the sequence that way with no luck.
Thanks for the help!

I had this exact same problem, and I figured out the solution in my case. I know the original problem report is ancient, but there are recent replies, so I am adding my solution here. I spent untold hours figuring this out, so hopefully this will save someone else some time.
There can be other causes to this problem, I'm sure. I'm just telling you about what fixed this problem for me.
Just to clarify, here is the symptom: Running Windows 8.1. Standard export from Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 to Media Encoder CC 2014.2, using File -> Export -> click Queue. Media Encoder opens and just sits there. Premiere Pro is hung and has to be forcibly terminated.
I spent countless hours on this. I thought I had messed up my computer's configuration somehow, so (believe it or not) I re-installed Windows on a freshly formatted hard disk, re-installed Creative Suite, same problem. (I can't believe I wasted all that time; I feel like a dummy.)
I finally narrowed it down to a very simple test case with a very tiny one-clip sequence that is less than one second long. Same problem.
It turned out to be a problem in the Premiere Pro project file itself. I suspect that a small file corruption somehow snuck into the project file, that was completely invisible. In that clip in my project, if I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem with exporting to Media Encoder went away. If I then re-added the very same "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem was still gone. It must be some small corruption in the ".prproj" file that went away when I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect and re-added it again.
NOTE: I DON'T think that there is some kind of bug with the "Vocal Enhancer" effect. I don't think this problem has anything to do with "Vocal Enhancer" per se. It is just some kind of small generic corruption in the project file. When Premiere Pro tries to export that sequence to Media Encoder, the problem occurs. It was just a coincidence in my case that removing and re-adding the "Vocal Enhancer" effect made the problem go away.
BOTTOM LINE: If you find that you have this bug where Premiere Pro hangs when exporting to the Media Encoder queue, try the following: Create a brand new project with a single clip in it, and export it to the Media Encoder queue. If that works, you know that it is not a problem with Premiere Pro in general; it's a problem in your specific project file. Once you've made this determination, make a copy of your original project file, and remove clips from the project until the problem goes away. Keep narrowing it down until you find the clip(s) that are the issue. Then, try removing and re-adding any effects on those clips, or even removing and re-adding the clips themselves, to fix the problem. Eventually, by removing and re-adding a specific effect or clip to your project, the problem will vanish (hopefully). It's just a matter of narrowing down which half of your project the problem occurs in, then which half of that half, etc., until you have it narrowed down to one clip or group of clips that need to be removed and re-added.
Having said all this, it is a bug that ideally should be fixed so someone else doesn't spend untold hours trying to figure out the problem. To that end, I create a tiny ZIP file that just has project file and the single media clip needed to reproduce the problem, along with a small description "READ ME.txt" file that explains the very simple steps to reproduce the problem. I have submitted this as a bug report to Adobe using their official online bug report form at www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform along with a link to the ZIP file so they can download and reproduce the problem.
If anyone else is curious about reproducing this same bug, you can also download the small ZIP file if you want to. I guarantee it doesn't have any viruses or anything - it's just two small files to reproduce the problem. To download the ZIP file containing that project file, media file, and "READ ME.txt" file, you can get it at www.forgaard.com/files/PremiereProBug.zip.
I hope this saves someone some time. This one sucked up a zillion hours of me chasing apparitions.
I was having a problem with exporting a sequence to AME. PPro would freeze and I would have to force the program to close. This was on a project where I was just running out a bunch of interview clips for the director to look at. One of them had a audio effect (DeHummer) on it, and it was the one that was giving me troubles. I selected the audio and right clicked then "Render and Replace" then it would export to AME with no issue. Thank you for your well written response to this thread. While it may not have fixed the OP's issue, it did help with mine....
Thanks,

Premiere Pro CC crashes when trying to Export Media

I really hope someone can help me with this.
I bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 because I will be studying multimedia production next year. Next week I'm registering for the art school and I'll be able to buy a CC student license. I installed the Creative Cloud Trial Version because I couldn't wait to check out the new features in Photoshop and Premiere Pro. However after working on a Premiere Pro project for several hours, the program crashed when trying the Export>Media function.
As soon as I hit Export>Media in every project I make in Premiere Pro, the following dialog box pops up: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.". I'm not able to export my project, not even by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M.
I already tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, without any luck. Any idea what could be causing this? I really need this fixed before school starts, so help is much appreciated.
Here are my system specs:
- Intel Core i7-4712HQ processor
- 16GB DDR3L RAM
- Nvidia GeForce GT750M 2GB
- 500GB SSD
Thanks to everyone willing to take a look at my problem.

Hi John,
Thanks for your response. I checked all those links but I'm afraid none of those solves my problem. My GPU drivers are up to date and changing BIOS settings to fixed to disable Nvidia Optimus doesn't work as well.

Premiere Pro crashes when I open my project because the cursor is stuck on a time-lapse sequence

I have a Time-lapse sequence which I have just built and saved the project of, but my cursor has stopped on the time-lapse sequence. Premiere Pro does crashes when I open my project because the cursor is stuck on the time-lapse sequence.
My project was saved in Premiere Pro with the cursor stuck on my new time-lapse sequence. Now, Premiere Pro crashes when I try to open the project....Please help URGENTLY?

>It may be a corrupt font, but I have thousands installed. Is there any way to test for that?
Reply #8 was specifically to address this question.
>I basically wanted to know if this is a 3.2.0 issue or not.
That's not what you asked. Perhaps asking a specific question will get you closer to a specific answer?
The titler does not crash for me at any stage of the Adobe updates for Premiere Pro, including 3.2.

AE CC crash when drag jpg and png files to comp

Hi I have noticed photoshop exports of jpg and png files cause AE CC to crash when drag these files to comp Same jpg and png exported from CS6 do not cause crash.

What exact version of Photoshop CC are you using? 14.0, 14.1, 14.2?
How are you saving the PNG and JPEG files from Photoshop? File > Save As? Save for Web?
In After Effects preferences > Media & Disk Cache, is the Create Layer Markers from Footage XMP Metadata option enabled? Does the problem go away if you turn this off?
A similar problem recently occurred with files generated from Illustrator CC (17.1):
http://adobe.ly/1jlIykQ
However, we have no reason to believe the same problem would apply to files generated from Photoshop. I am not able to reproduce your problem with PNG and JPEG files saved from Photoshop CC (14.2), either from Save As or Save for Web. So either the conditions of your problem are more specific, or it is not related to the XMP Metadata problem.

Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements Crash When Open Together?

Anyone have a problem with Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements crashing when open together?
I have PE10 and am doing a trial of Premiere Pro CS6.
Both crash fairly quickly when open together.
i7 2600K
Windows 7 64 Bit
16GB RAM
GTX 470
Corsair AT 850 Watt PSU
Thanks!

The first thiing that comes to my mind is a resources issue. As you have a stout computer, with more than adequate RAM, unless something is failing (like a stick of RAM), or perhaps the GPU, I would not expect to see what you observe. On a much less powerful machine, I have no problem running PrPro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a word processor, all at the same time.
I would look into this ARTICLE, which starts with some general tips on setting up one's computer for running PrE, and then goes into system and OS tune-up tips (this is probably where I would start, if the intitial checklist looks OK), and then goes into troubleshooting. I would definitely look here, and especially using Event Viewer to try and track down what is happening, when the crashes occur, and also the one on tools to test RAM, GPU's, etc.).
Good luck,
Hunt

Import Image Sequence in Media Encoder CS4?

Hi all,
Is it possible to import an image sequence in Media Encoder CS4 to export it in FLV?
In the documentation, it's said in "File formats supported for import" that it supports jpg sequence (not png!?), but I don't know how to add an image sequence.
Thanks

Sorry I meant, it doesn't look like can and I find that gay.

Computer freezes when exporting with Adobe Media Encoder

Hi, whenever I start to export via media Encoder, my computer kind of freezes...I am not able to edit or even use any other applictions when exporting with Adobe media encoder. This did not happen with the older version CC7. Any hints please? Very frustrating.

I think the same problem:

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing. How can I trouble shoot this. I have no idea why this is failing. I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

Harm, I followed your advice. I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions. Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software. I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
Thanks for your response.

Premiere Pro CS6 Crashes When Dragging

Trying to edit in PP CS6 and keep getting this error every time I drag files.
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
This happens every time I try to drag any footage. Regardless of files or locations.
I'm working (at least trying to) on a Mac Pro (Mid 2012) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
Processor- 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory- 16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics- ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB
The Adobe applications manager says everything is up-to-date and I've tried everything I can think of.
Restarting computer.
Testing different video files in the project (happens with all)
Moving files to a different drive
Creating a new project on a different drive
Opening old project with footage that worked before.
No luck with anything. Any help is greatly appreciated! I've got deadlines to meet and no backup computer!

Hi, did you get anywhere with this? I am having a similar issue in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
The issue is as follows:
If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition ANYWHERE within the program, it will crash - with the serious error message. In order to 'reset' this, I HAVE to restart my machine. Once I have done so, I can continue editing as normal for a while (up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again.
The crash ONLY happens when drag something... This can include moving a clip on the timeline, dragging a clip form the source viewer or project window, dragging an effect or transition.
The crash happens after I have clicked, as soon as I start to move my mouse.
I CAN click and drag to extend in and out points on the timeline, and I can do 'insert' edit using the button on the source monitor. The footage plays fine.
I am trying this on a CLEAN OS X install, with only Adobe packages installed, to eliminate any potential of interference from other programs. There are no third party plugins or drivers installed.
My system is: Macbook Pro 2011, 16GB Ram, 1tb SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Intel Graphics card, so no option to turn on or off hardware acceleration. It is set to software only.
I have tested this with projects and footage on an external drive, same issue.
I have been using the system on Mavericks and had no problems. I'm guessing it was either the update to Yosemite (I have reinstalled from scratch numerous times to rule out any errors during installation), OR a recent change to Premiere.
Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects. Again, until the machine is restarted.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
