Premiere Pro CS5 - Media Encoder Crash when Exporting to MPEG-2

System:
Core i7 920 @ 3.8 Ghz
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
12GB DDR3 1600

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 continually crashes or hangs every time I try to export to MPEG-2. I can successfully render to every other codec without any issue, but need the MPEG-2 for an Adobe Encore Project.
The project is approximately 38 minutes long and contains AVI and MP4 files, all of which were ripped from DVDs as I'm producing a reel for a producer who provided his DVDs for me to rip and use as content.
Possible issues:
1.   Currently have Magic DVD Ripper and DVD Fab installed (codec conflicts?)
2.   Originally ripped the DVDs at 630x360 (my mistake - hadn't really worked with a DVD ripper before and was the largest avi pre-set) and I'm exporting to MPEG-2 standard 720x480 Widescreen) (I know I should've just ripped them as the original lossless MPEG-2 files - I'm a tool)
2.   Blank space in the timline (there are a number of these)
I would like to get some input before I try to export to MPEG-2 again as I blew a capacitor on my old mother board (Gigabyte x58-ud3r) after I had gotten my computer to start rendering a MPEG-2 after about 50 tries to export/launch media encoder set on MPEG-2. I just installed my new motherboard to replace it. Clearly MPEG-2 taxes the system more so than any other codec (from what I can tell). However, I thought the issue with the blank space/no media in the timeline was fixed with CS5. I saw in a previous post that someone thought that ffdshow was conflicting with AME. I don't have ffdshow, but I believe that's a ripper program like Magic and DVDFab.

I experienced this at one point. Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime. (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.) However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem. Search this board using quicktime as a search phase. The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions. I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

Try turning off GPU acceleration.

Premiere Pro, Media Encoder Crashing When Exporting/Rendering

For the longest time if I ever tried to export or render a video longer than 5 minutes, my Premiere Pro or Media Encoder crashes. I don't know why but it is EXTREMELY irritating when attempting to make lengthened gaming videos. I have tried 15 different methods all online, to no avail. It always crashes around the 40% mark in Adobe Premiere and it isn't a corrupt project. I have literally tried everything to no avail and I finally decided I would turn here to ask for help. I reset the preferences, tried copying and pasting into a new sequence, tried reinstalling Premiere... the whole bit. My technical specifications are not the issue at hand I don't believe, but just in-case the list is provided below. Please make any response swift, my intent was to upload the video I have in Premiere by tonight!

Premiere Pro and Media Encoder crash while rendering H.264

Very recently, a problem's popped up where Premiere Pro and Media Encoder (CC) will crash while rendering H.264.
It's only while rendering H.264 - other formats seem to work fine.
And I don't mean that it returns an error, I mean it hard crashes with a Windows "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working" popup.
It doesn't crash at a consistent time during the render, even on the same project. Occasionally, it won't crash at all, but this is usually not the case.
I've tried disabling CUDA and my overclock to no avail. Please help!

On the topic of opening a project on the exact same version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (yes it is definitely up to date, and the 2014 version), to overcome this export crash problem that ZachHinchy has brought up - you can't. Technically speaking, one should easily be able to open a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project from one system on another system running the exact same up to date, legitimate version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 without any kind of error. But for some reason, this has been disallowed(?) by Adobe. It has facepalm written all over it. Does anyone agree that this is at least a little bit silly?
I have tried exporting a Final Cut Pro XML from my project to try and open the sequence at uni on a Mac, so I can render my project when I finish my edit. It half works - the clips are there, but the sequence is gone - i.e. 12 hours of painstaking sequencing and micro-edits that had me at several points in time wanting to insert my hand through my monitor with enough force to make a large hole. I really cannot afford redo this sequence, as my assignment is due tomorrow, and I have to work at 6 oclock in the morning, so I also cannot afford to stay up till the early hours of tomorrow morning. Wish me luck that some miraculous event has taken place overnight that will somehow allow me to just open my project, on the same version of Premiere, on a Mac, without hassle. (Apple OS is not friendly to anything but its own selfish nature, so I am having doubts).
Adobe please, if you can do anything at all to help, you will save my assignment, and my faith will be restored. Otherwise, I'll just get my money back and buy Final Cut instead.
I cant even
If I find a way to fix either of these problems, I will post straight away.

Media encoder crashing when exporting h.264

I have a short 1:30 project I'd like to export using the h.264 codec. The project is made up of [email protected] h.264 quicktimes shot on a Canon 1DmkIV. If I export to h.264 using either the 720p or 1080p presets the Media Encoder will do two render passes then crash with an "Unknown Error". This will happen if I export h.264 or as a quicktime using the h.264. Strangely if I export as h.264 bluray it works fine but then the audio and video are seperate and not what I need if I intend to upload to Vimeo. I can successfuly export to other codecs.
I've clicked through premierepro.wikia.com but couldn't seem to find any answers. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
FYI
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 v.3.2.0 (374)
Windows XP SP3
Intel E6850 Duo Core @3Ghz
4Gb RAM

Ok, that worked but Media Encoder wouldn't render out with TS checked using PCM audio, I had to change to Dolby Digital. Once rendered and uploaded to Vimeo the image was displayed as 4:3 but with the anamorphic vertical squeeze even though I was using the 1080p24 preset. <shrug>
I'm wondering if it is the Mainconcept codec that's buggy. Is there an alternative h.264 codec to use with Premiere CS3?

>OR should I download some additional content from the web-site to install the MPEG codes and there by enabling support to Premiere Pro?
You may install anything you want (but I personally would not, unless I was 100% sure of the source) and the trial version STILL will not work with any MPEG codec
The trial has a built-in "lock out" that prohibits using MPEG, no matter what else you have on your computer

How on earth do you export to MPEG-2DVD in Premiere Pro & or Media Encoder?

I'm having the same continuing problem in Premiere Pro CS5.5. I cannot export a sequence out as a MPEG-2dvd in Premiere Pro, nor as a MPEG-2dvd in the media encoder. I even tried to encode the file as an AVI file, and then take the AVI file and convert it to a MPEG-2dvd in media encoder. No dice. The file I'm trying to do all of this with is a 26minute sequence on the premiere timeline, so it's no space and data hog. It's originally an MPEG-1 file. I keep getting the error code that both Adobe premiere, and adobe media encoder can not read m2v.xmpses files. I already understand that these have broken into seperate files, with the m2v in there as the video, the audio file representing the audio, and the xmpses containing the metadata, but these files are not seperate in my experience with this problem. the m2v.xmpses is one file, and it can not be seperated. Ive been told that these files are seperated streams that need to be "muxed" together into one workable file. How do you do this?
Thanks in advance to anyone who attempts to tackle these problems.

If working with NTSC, then your Sequence should be DV 720x480, so as to match what the DVD will be.
Not to split hairs Jeff (nor to distract from the purposes of the OP), but you don't always want to match sequence settings to output, and the OP may not actually want to do this either - especially when working with lower quality assets and not knowing how many different ways the edit will be used.
Adobe's mantra with Premiere Pro is "edit once, publish many" and so let's consider a hypothetical scenario where you are creating a sequence to be distributed to web and DVD. If your assets are 1280x720 60p and you put them in a DV 720x480 (4:3 0.9 PAR 29.97) sequence to match an intended DVD output, then you are "stuck" if/when you decide to render out an H.264 720p sequence for Vimeo. You have to re-build your sequence at that point.
99% of the time, you want to create a sequence that matches your asset parameters, or that at least matches the majority of the assets. Then you are editing with the "raw" format and ready to up-res/down-res without creating multiple sequences with separate edits. This becomes even more imperative when and if a re-edit comes down and you find yourself having to execute identical edits across 2 or 3 or 4 different sequences.
Just wanted to clarify that point. That's also part of the reason why PPro allows you to create a new sequence based on an asset's parameters by drag-and-drop.

Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 crashes when "locating media"

The problem;
Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 crashes when "locating media". I am working on a project that has not given me any problems for the last 200 hours. About a week ago I notice that the .proj file size was 276mb and found this odd because my largest project to date was never larger than 80mbs. I thought that the premiere was running slow because of the project size. As luck would have, when my client made their their final changes 2 days ago, I opened the project and premiere would hang on the locating media window and then would crash. I called Adobe and spent an hour on the phone with them to no avail.
Project workflow
- 700gb of 5d footage
- 20 sequences under 5 minutes
- Dynamically linked files with AE
- Warp Stabilized about a dozen clips of under 5 sec
- On every sequence color correction adjustment layer with RGB Curves, Three way color corrector and sharpen filter
- I kept old versions of the sequences (I was in version 5 before the crash)
What I have tried;
- Unsuccessfully tried to open auto-save files for this project.
- Successfully opened other older non relevant project
- Removed Mercury playback engine in the project settings
- Cleaned out media cache database through pp in media Preferences
- Manually deleted cache files in /Common/Media Cache Files and /Common/Media Cache
- Tried importing sequences into new .proj file; it would crash as a result.
What "worked".
I was able to open it on another computer. save it under another file name. bring it back to my original computer and open it without problem. I lost about 3 days working through this problem, I missed my deadline. and angered the client. I was able to use a friends IMAC to "fix" the problem, however I can't always count on him being there if it happens again.
Questions.
- What the hell happened? Why could I open it on one computer and not on the other?
- Is there a way to fix a corrupted .proj files on a PC?
- What should the average file size be, before it becomes unstable? (I'm pretty that my file size was bloated by all the previous versions of the sequences)

PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 Gamma problem while exporting project to mjpeg A or B

Dear Sir,
I'm in a big ****. I've directed and edited 1h documentary for Finnish television, also, the technical specs requested by the TV Channel is all production Broadcast masters must be encoded with Apple ProRES codec or MJPEG A or B.
As i'm working on PC (win7), the ProRES codec doesn't exist on PC system, so i've done the export to MJPEG. The problem is i have a different gamma level when i watch the final export with Quicktime or VLC. Of course i can adjust the level in those players, but it doesnt effect the file. When i import the Qt file into a Premiere sequence, the gamma level is still **** and different from my original level i have from my timeline and preview window. If i export the project to H264 1920x1080p25, then the gamma is perfect with Qt, VLC and WinMedia player. But the TV station don't wanna work with H264. Deadline is on next monday, and i can't send a Qt MJPEG file with wrong gamma !!!Any chance to find a solution to fix it ??? After reading different forum, i can see this problem exist since many years and never been solved.
What can i do ??
Denis.

Things is my prpject includ few effect plugins i bought, so what ever i could find a mac, not your i could export xml project to finalcut with plugins it dont have

If it were me, I wouldn't encode to MJPEG.
So as to encode to ProRes on Windows you can utilise any solution based on ffmpeg/ffmbc or better yet find a Mac with Final Cut or Compressor installed for delivering critical work.

.wmv's getting cut in half horizontally inside Premiere Pro, AE, Media Encoder...

Hello everyone! I'm having an issue using .WMV's within Premiere Pro, AE, and the Media Encoder. Whenever I open the image in a sequence or the source window, the image is cut in half horizontally (see pic below). I brought in an MP4 and had no issues so at the moment I think I have narrowed down to strictly a .WMV problem. The file plays perfectly fine in realtime; audio sounds great, picture (of what I can see) looks good; I am just missing the top half of any WMV file hehe. I have tried the WMV inside AE as well but have the same issue. I also tried to export the WMV with Media Encoder but it exports the WMV cut in half no matter what format I tell it to conver the file to..
My Premiere Pro, AE, and Media Encoder are fully up to date; my Nvidia 660 Ti is up to date; I just installed latest Windows 7 codec package; Just installed newest Windows 7 x64 updates.
Also, this is a big one to note...This is the first time I have used Premiere Pro/AE/Media Encoder on this system. I just built this PC about 1 month ago and have had 0 problems with it across other programs (Photoshop, 3ds max, etc..) I just recently installed Premiere, AE, Media Encoder on it and am running into this problem upon my first bootup of Premiere/AE/Media Encoder.
My system specs are posted below the picture and file specs.
The pic below shows my setup and the issue I am having. The video of Finding Nemo on the left is the .MP4 (specs on file are below) and the video on the right is the .WMV in question (specs also below.)

Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder question...

Hi,
I got a question regarding the Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder.
I am converting a sequence in Premiere Pro CS3 which contains footage from a '.vob' file which is NTSC, 720x480, 16:9 to a '.flv' file.
Now I'm doing this via Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder and it let's me choose the Width & Height but there is no checkbox to keep the proportions - which I find is very, very inconvenient...
So if I wanna convert this to a .flv file which is 400 high, the width should be 600, right ?
Also, there is no way to specify to keep the 16:9 aspect ratio.
Is that done automatically or how/where can I specify it ?
Thanx for your help in advance !

If you want 16:9. you need to consider that the lower number should probably be divisible by 72. So, if you want something about 600 wide, I would use 360 for the lower number which gives you a frame size of 640X360
When divisible by 72, it is evenly divisible by both 8, which is great for encoders, and 9, which is the frame ratio you want.
Just choose square pixels and you will be fine.

Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I open a file

Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I browse to open a file.
I have a Creative Cloud subscription.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program through the Creative Cloud service. No change.

Thanks for responding.
Yes, I am trying to utilize Photoshop CS (8.0) and I run Windows 7.1. I installed this from Adobe's Creative Cloud. The program opens, and I am able to open a Photoshop file with it, but then Windows tells me that there is a problem and is shutting down. I'm not sure would the problem might be.

Premiere CC and Media Encoder crashing new Mac Pro

Since installing CC on my new Mac Pro (Late 2013) Premiere and Adobe Media Encoder have been continually crashing my system.
At first, my comp would freeze and I'd have to hard restart, then it switched to rebooting on in's own. This would happen 10-20 times a day while editing.
This began shortly after I synced settings from a previous version of PP but since I've installed new RAM; reinstalled CC/PP; reformatted my HDD and reinstalled Mavericks, CC, PP; and have not synced my settings. I've also tried editing multiple projects of different sizes with different media types -- all are experiencing the same problems.
When I edit the same projects on my MBP, everything works fine.
Recently, I have disabled GPU acceleration in all of my PP projects and that seems to have solved the problem.
My office received 3 Pros at the same time with the same hardware configurations and software -- I am the only one experiencing this problem.
Here are some specs:
Late 2013 Mac Pro
2.7 Ghz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
All drivers, CC, and software is up to date.
So what do I do now?
Any help is much appreciated!

I am on Windows, but have a few saved Mac discussions that may help (or, may not... but free to read)
