A serious bug of render "PAL" timeline by "Media Encoder"

I use premiere cc2014 at PC/Mac, I find a serious bug when I complete a job in a "PAL" setup time line (720x570 25fps (PAL) aspect ratio 4:3), if i export to a mpeg 2 file with same setup to "Media Encoder", the out put file become a "4:3" Pillarbox file (left and right become a black bar). But If I export file without using "Media Encoder", the file is prefectly same as the timeline setup. Since I always output timeline(s) in "batch", so I must need to use Media Encoder. Please help to fix that bug. P.S., I have try in CS5.5, CS6, there is no that bug in Media Encoder.

Hi MRJay,
I had a similar issue only when using 3rd party plugin (Creative Impatience) that would go all catywhumpus on Encoder Queue outputs...it would mess with certain images or text that were not necessarily matching the project proportions (e.g. crop them, or ignore 1/2 of my Feathered Crop, etc.)
The solution was bizarre, and likely source-code default setting based...
After going to Media-->Export and when in the Encoder interface--before Queueing-- find a section on your timline with the scroll controls where the graphic is, make sure you are in Source Tab (top left), goto Crop Proportions; Use the drop down tab to actually set the Output dimension to what your sequence is (you won't have to actually export with this setting) and then switch to the Output tab. Does it now appear correct? That's it...undo the Crop Prop. and output normally. Hope this helps...

Live text template render issue when using Media Encoder?

I'm running into flash frames with Media Encoder exports of Premiere sequences using the live text templates.
Unfortunately, AME doesn't flag it as an error, so the render completes without any issues in the render log and the only way to find it is to watch the rendered file.
I have tried different combinations of having After Effects open or closed, with the live text template comp open or closed; I can't consistently reproduce the problem with any certainty and so am having trouble pinpointing the source.
My only hypotheses so far are that:
The glitches seem to be happening in the dynamic link between AME and PP, not AE and PP. The live text will pop back to the duplicated comp's text for one frame. Video playing simultaneously doesn't pop.
In other words, the AE text template said: "name here". In PP it was edited to say "John Doe", then that comp was duplicated and edited to say "Bob Smith". Everything looks fine in PP. There are no keys on the source text in AE (I have noticed that if there are keys on the source text in AE, the text will pop back to the original AE text at that key in PP).
When rendered out of AME, halfway through Bob Smith's title, it will read "John Doe" for a single frame, then pop back to being Bob.
I've only had this happen so far with AME renders. The renders out of PP haven't given me any issues so far.
It might happen more frequently on longer segments? If a title is up for 45 sec instead of 10 sec, it may be more likely to pop.
The issue seems to occur more often in batch renders out of AME (happened to 3 of 5 files rendered in a batch, AME 2014.1) and/or with unrelated AE comps open (on a single render from AME 2014.2)
Again, it doesn't happen every time or to the same title, or in the same spot. Files are being rendered to ProRes 422 HQ. Unchecked "Use Previews" in AME.
Would be nice to get to the bottom of what's happening so I can recommend something to the editors when I hand off these live text templates to them.
I realize that the live text is a new feature as of 2014.1, but haven't found anyone else talking about this. Would love if this was a very simple fix that I'm missing.
I was able to reproduce the error on 2 different machines, with similar specs:
Premiere CC 2014.1 and 2014.2
Media Encoder CC 2014.1 and 2014.2

30 Second Audio Render problem in Adobe Media Encoder?

I've been trying a few things out to fix this, but no luck.
Ok, so I export videos with a audio spectrums where audio would be necessary. Now I want to do this all in After Effects without editing the Audio in in Premiere Pro. After Effects does not render in H.264. So I send it Adobe Media Encoder. When I export to AME, the first 30 seconds is mute, without fail. only on AME though. I can export straight through AE with .mov and it works fine. but I don't like doing that with the large filesize. I also did this with WebM. Audio does not export for 30 seconds on AME.
I like to send everything to AME. So if I have to go to premiere to fix audio I will. so after fixing everything I send it over to AME and let it export. for some reason, it WILL give me audio. Is there something wrong with my settings in AE or AME?
Everything is CC if that helps any

OK, give this a shot.

Cineware C4D Render Fails in Adobe Media Encoder

I'm trying to render an After Effects composition using Cineware and a very basic C4D Lite layer.
It renders fine directly in the AE render queue, but hangs and eventually fails in Adobe Media Encoder.
The error message is:
Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I'm using Windows 7, Adobe Creative Cloud. I've opened the default TCP port 5030 in Windows Firewall & tried disabling Windows Firewall altogether. I've tried rendering with both CUDA and software only. I've cleared my render cache and restarted several times. I've had no problems rendering in Media Encoder until I try to enable a Cineware layer. It makes a sheep noise.

Has anyone successfully rendered Cineware using Windows 7 platform ?
Is there a particular port I should try besides the default 5030? And do I need to set this port somewhere in Adobe Media Encoder CC settings or just under the Cineware effects settings?
There's no reason why this shouldn't at least be documented somewhere. I'm using a brand new clean vanilla install of Windows 7 and Creative Cloud with Intel Core I7 + NVidia GPU.
"Unknown Error" to me says some code was sitting in a huge "try/catch" type block with the exception not being handled.

From Photoshop CS6, How do I render multiple files to Media Encoder when editing Video?

I'm trying to send one version of my video open in PS CS6 to Media Encoder at 1920x1080 then while that renders, I'd like to crop it and render it as 1440x1080.
Is there a faster way to to this?
Ideally I'd like to Send it to ME rather than Export right away..seems I can only Epxort and wait. I'd like to continue working while it renders in the background like in AE

I'm not familiar with how Photoshop uses AME, but I do know that there are several applications other than the primary professional video applications that use it. InDesign, for example, uses it for transcoding movies to be put into folios/magazines created in the digital publishing workflow (for tablets and such).

Can I apply and render batch effects in media encoder?

Hi I'm using Adobe premiere cs6.5 and media encoder. I would like to add an unsharpen mask effect to all my clips and render them out in a batch process in media encoder. Is there a way to do this with out physically handling each individual file?
Thanks

Don't think so in CS6.5.
IN CC2014xx one would apply it to all clips selected/grouped in the Bin as a Master Clip Effect... then send those clips to AME

Why is render much darker in media encoder

When I render direct to Media Encoder from After Effects, the results is much darker than the original.
If, however, I render from After Effects alone then it's faithful to the original.
Anybody else come across this?
It's annoying as I'd like to avoid a two stage render process.

Also, do you have color management enabled for your project in After Effects?

Batch export of individual clips? Premiere timeline to Media Encoder??

I have a bunch of clips on a CS6 timeline.
I want to batch encode them out.
I'm trying to figure out how to take those clips to Media Encoder so I can batch export them out all at once.
I've heard I can pull them all into a folder in CS6 and then batch export them out of that folder - though I can't seem to drag the clips en masse from the timeline to the folder (as I can in FCP7) - Premiere seems to only allow one clip to be dragged at a time. Very tedious. And the suggestion I read on the Forum doesn't quite match MY Premiere CS6 (the menu items are not the same).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated...
Ben

Hi joe bloe,
It is similar. And then my question is: how do I get all the clips on the timeline into a bin in one drag and drop (not one at a time)? And once it's in the bin, what are the menu steps to batch export?
I have a vague memory of using the Media Encoder to batch out some clips several days ago - but can't remember if they came directly from a Premiere timeline...
Apologies. I'm in the middle of a complicated job, with three different type cameras going, two of which I haven't used before, and thus my brain is a bit fried for searching through manuals.

Render video is crashing media encoder

I have a long video presentation 1hr 7 min, in which I had to remove an rf transmitter with the clone brush. This is shot on 2 cameras so many layers. I finished about half the show and sent it to render overnight. Which it did. I continued work on the remainder of the show and it is crashing in ME.
Am I demanding too much from ME or is there something else going on.

Probably a damaged source footage file. Could be as trivial as a discontinuous timecode. Try to re-export/ convert the source file. If you used a clip format for rendering, you should try to export an image sequence and then convert it in a second pass.

Audio Render issue - Media Encoder

Hello All,
I just ran into a odd audio issue after a render. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? (audio file below)
Sequence is : ProRes 1080p 2997. Rendering to ProRes. Audio source is a .WAV
http://www.rtbstudio.com/Clients/AudioError.aif
Additional testing has shown that the issue only occurs when I render out of Adobe Media Encoder.
Rendering straight out of Premiere does not produce this issue.
Thanks!
- Ryan
Premiere 7

You are correct Jim, I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't check my language.
It is on exports. Odd thing about this, it only gave me an audio issue when 'exporting' to ProRes. I did a multitude of client review Quicktime H264's and never had the issue. Even with the 'Native Premiere Support' checkbox enabled.
It appears de-selecting the 'Native Premiere Support' option works for the prores.
Will Adobe ever address this issue? This issue makes me really nervous when exporting batches via AME.
Cheers!

Premiere Pro CS3 using AspectHd v5.0 build 88
My PP3 gives me an unkonwn error message in a debug window everytime I try to render my timeline that has one 2 seconds clip of another nested sequence...!?!
It occurs at about a fifth of the 1st of 2 audio preview render that it has to do.
I usualy did have problem rendering file with PP2 cause of Premiere's system memory bug, but never I've add trouble before in PP3...until well now.
What is the problem? Anybody experiencing that bug also?

The project in which this problem occurs is about 1 TB of footage in AspectHD Low HD; there's 37 tape captured in batch and recomposed on a different sequence for each tape to compensate for the lost of timecode when digitazing with CINEFORM (so 37 nested time line).
I use those nested timelines as if I was picking shots from a huge clip that captured the whole tape.
Of course Premiere ask me the render the sequences nested in addition to the main one in which I edit footage...
I'm currently editing a trailer and wanted to render 2 clip that were sampled from 2 different sequences, but PP3 has the bug windows at 10,51% and closes. The text in the debug window is that "Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry about..."
If you need anymore info please ask what specificaly, cause I would be at a lost to add more...:)

Edit HD footage in a PAL timeline

Hello gurus!
I will be editing a commercial with the latest FCP installed on my laptop. The commercial will be shot entirely on a Phantom Camera (1920x1080 HD). I will export the Phantom footage to TGA or Tiff sequences and then import them into FCP. The finished product will be delivered in PAL format.
I guess what we want to do is edit the HD footage in a Pal timeline but have the full 1920x1080 resolution available so as to perform various zooms on the HD footage and still retain PAL quality. The zooms will not be exceeding PAL limit i.e we will not zoom in the HD footage past 720x576 pixels.
Will this work if i just follow the above procedure, import HD footage and use a PAL timeline? Will this retain full HD quality of my footage or will the PAL timeline force the footage into 720x576? Will I probably have to render all the time? I am opting for delivering a title-less finished film in Pal format and then hand it over for the titles to be placed at a later stage.
I am new at HD so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Tolis

Thanks a lot you guys,
like you all said, it is as simple as importing HD footage and editing them on a SD timeline. Here's what i did:
I took my image sequences and converted them to ProRes .mov in Quicktime then dropped them into a DV Pal project with the DV Pal Sequence Preset (I tested both High Quality and Proxy and both work in FCP with no need to render) and voila, i have HD footage to pan and zoom around to!
This is what i wanted to do.
I also did a few tests and i am posting the questions that came up in the process.
When i did the test i realized that whichever workflow we devised, i would have to convert my image sequences to video before bringing them into Final Cut!
Any other way to create video files out of image sequences besides QuickTime Pro or Mpeg Streamclip?
Is the HQ ProRes codec or any other ProRes Codec good enough to retain all color space so as if i convert all my Tiff Sequences to it i can use as my new source for online?
I also tried to work with the HD Tiff files directly into FCP and would like to know what would the best Sequence Preset be. I used 1920 x 1080/HDTV 1080i (16:9), square pixels and no field dominance. For the compressor part i found out that if i use uncompressed 10 or 8 bit, i can work without rendering, same with the Apple ProRes but if i put Tiff as a compressor i need to render to work. Can you explain a bit more on what the compressor option refers to in the sequence settings?
Another thing i tried is the Auto Conform option for new sequences but it appears to not work when i drop a tiff file into the sequence. I guess FCP does not consider this video to conform the sequence to.
Again thanks a lot for all the help. I will mark this thread solved once we discuss a bit more the new questions that came up.

Also, a serious bug is, even though we delete all temp files used by Firefox, and open the previously cached page, it displays it correctly, but upon refreshing/reloading it again shows the previous version of the page maintained in the cache.

We have had this issue many, many times before including on the latest 3.6 rev. It appears that when the applicationCache has an update triggered by a new manifest file, the browser may still use only its local network cache to check for updates to the files in the manifest, instead of forcing an HTTP request and revalidating both the browser cache and the applicationCache versions of the cached file (seems there is more than one). I have to assume this is a browser bug, as one should not have to frig with server Cache-Control headers and such to get this to work as expected (and even then it still doesn't sometimes).
The only thing that seems to fix the problem is setting network.http.use-cache to false (default is true) in about:config . This helps my case because we only ever run offline (applicationCache driven) apps in the affected browser (our managed mobile apps platform), but it will otherwise slow down your browser experience considerably.

WARNING: Serious bug in Netscape 6.01 browser

All--
I've just been bitten by a serious bug in the Netscape 6.01 browser, and
want to let you know about it before it bites you too. Full bug details can
be found at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55055
A short summary is that the back & forward buttons incorrectly resubmit form
fields. For example, say I have this page flow:
Page A -> Page B - (submit form) -> Page A -> Page C
Use Back button to go from C back to A
On backing up from C to A, Netscape tells me that there are posted form
elements and asks if I want to resubmit them or cancel the back action.
Because I'm backing up to A, it tries to resubmit the form fields from page
B in order to show page A!
What does this mean? It means that the Web application gets another hit to
page B, as if the user had pushed a button on it again--even if this isn't
allowed by the application. In other words, the back button becomes a
serious threat to an application's consistency. Neither IE nor Opera do
this, nor did any other version of Netscape.
Please keep this behavior in mind if you are designing an application that
could be used with Netscape 6. For those transactions that you need to
ensure aren't executed more than once, you may want to set a hidden field on
the page (page B) or otherwise keep track of a value that indicates whether
the transaction has been executed or not. Another option might be to set an
HTTP header indicating that the problematic page (page A) can't be cached by
the browser (this differs from what one might do in the "normal" situation
of telling the browser not to cache page B, so that backing up from page A
to B wouldn't be possible).

Serious bugs in the SR400 gated photon counter LabVIEW drivers

Hi
I am developing an application with SR400 and came
across what I think is a bug in the LabVIEW driver. Essentially, none
of the VI's allow you to set the preset counters. For instance, if you
call Read VI and choose mode A, B for preset T, there is no way to
specify preset T, which means that the count period defaults to some
factory default, not a situation you want. This might also explain some
of the timeouts some people are getting to SRQs that come later.
Further,
if you look at the block diagram of Read VI, the line selector string
is set to "CM 0" for two distinct choices of the count mode. This is a
serious bug. I do not know who wrote this driver, but it does seem, at
least to me, that they did a rather shoddy job of it. How this driver even got certification to be posted at IDN is something I cannot explain.
Comments welcome from those that use LabVIEW with SR400 and have used this driver.

Hi. Dwell time of 2ms is good for me. It would be great if you can send me this file to circumvent the 2000points/measurement. Also, If i understand it right, if I set the Gate to CW, then my gate should always be open for the count period, they why do I have to set the gate parameters at all. I want to change the integration time, but for some reason I am not able to change it in your setup 2.VI at all. I made some changes in setup 2.vi. I removed the setting for channel B as I am not going to use it and I integrated the readchannel.vi into this file. I am not sure if I made a mistake in doing this. Now, I am able to write some data to a file, but I not as I want. If it helps, I am uploading my modified VI file and an example data file (Gate A width is 0.992s, Gate A delay and delay step are 0, Gate A mode is CW, Dwell time is 0.002s).
