Adobe Media Encoder (AME) Freezes Machine in Windows 8.1

I'm running adobe CC on win 8.1 and every time I render a video from After Effects to AME the whole machine freezes and I would have to restart at that time...Any one running through the same issue?? Any solutions??
Thanks
TK

Nothing but problems since the 8.1 update. Media Encoder renders perfectly fine up until the same point on my sequence, (though i can render that section on its own without issues).
The log file looks like this:
- Encoding Time: 00:00:17
10/14/2014 02:06:57 AM : Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
- Encoding Time: 00:04:22

Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

Hi Guys
I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment. It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there. These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc. This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
Any help would be really gratefully received.
Cheers
EDIT - I have just found this online which is exactly the problem I am having! Thanks a bloody bunch Apple! 10.9.3 causing headaches for Mac Pro users | MacIssues

Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
What OS Win7, 64-bit
What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

Can you export directly from Premiere Pro?

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 freezes when trying to convert .m4v files to .mp4 files

I'm trying to convert some things I got on itunes in order to put them on my android phone. Media encoder freezes before I even start encoding though, any ideas? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.

I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
The big red arrow.
You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
Your button is not grayed out.
Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely. Good luck.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 freezing on startup when loading ImporterQuickTime.prm

Hi everybody,
As the title suggests everytime I try run media encoder cs5 it freezes at the same point whilst trying to load the importerquicktime.prm file. I have tried googling around for a solution and have found a few people having the same problem but nobody seems to have found a fix.
Does anybody know why it would freeze at this point, and how i could fix the issue?
Kind regards,
Gareth

Hi Todd, thanks for the reply.
I tried the suggestions in the link you provided by allowing adobe qt32 server.exe and dynamiclinkmanager.exe in and out connections. I even tried disabling the firewall temporarily altogether but it didnt help.
I dont have afterfx.exe or pproheadless.exe (I have the design Premium CS5 suite, so no after effects or premiere for me unfortunately)
Could it be something else causing the problem?
Regards,
Gareth

Adobe Media Encoder (AME) CS6 Crashing on Start

Hi there,
I'm facing a disgusting problem..
I am not able to start AME in my Desktop (win 8). It was working good but suddenly it closed & crashed.... Now I can't start this application it crshed everytime.
tried all possible solution from adobe forum but failed.
sloution please..
thanks in advanced.

If clearing prefs doesn't work, you could also try uninstalling and reinstalling AME (this is done from the host application that installed it; Premiere, After Effects, etc.)
Also, do you get any error message before or after the crash? Posting the error text or a screen shot may help us troubleshoot this.

Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails. Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.

I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset. AME fails every time with the following message:
"Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error."
Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine. The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime. I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
Interesting.
Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

Adobe Media Encoder pausing rendering while working in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone,
So I am redering a video in Adobe Media Encoder and at the same time I am editing a new one in Premiere Pro.
I noticed that AME is constantly pausing the rendering and did not know why. It turns out that while I'm editing a video in Premiere Pro, I am constantly pressing the space bar to start/pause the video I'm editing. While I do that, AME keeps pausing/unpausing the rendering. Somehow, pressing the space bar in PP has an effect in AME.
I have no clue why it does that because the Premiere Pro window has the focus, not the AME one.
Has anyone ever seen that?
I use Windows 8 and Adobe CC.

Hi Rallymax,
Yes I do queue footage by having an Autowatch set up on the directories where the video is written to. I rarely do a direct export unless testing new settings.
Don't take this as gospel but I too had a feeling that GPU acceleration didn't happen with AME, only direct export. Not sure where that came from, I did watch some of the recent Adobe TV Web Seminar's about new features of CC products etc, so maybe on one of those?
I found this while trying to find out where I had seen it but it is from AMD site not Adobe so whether it's fully 100% correct I dunno:
Adobe Media Encoder
The Adobe Media Encoder (AME), with support for OpenCL™ and GPU acceleration, automates the production of multiple encoded versions of source files, sequences, and compositions in Premiere Pro CC. With the GPU-accelerated AME and AMD graphics technology, editors can quickly encode projects and output files for virtually any destination. AMD GPUs handle the heavy lifting, freeing the system’s CPU to perform other functions.
I will try the same test as Jason, if I can find any AVHCD video and see what the results are. Will be interesting.

Crash upon opening Adobe Media Encoder

Hello,
I just built a new computer and installed Adobe CS3 Production Premium, with all the updates (Premiere Pro 3.2).
I'm editing a project with DVCPRO HD 720p clips.
When I try to open the Adobe Media Encoder, Premiere freezes, and I'm forced to restart the whole computer. (The task manager doesn't help.)
It seems to be random too- sometimes it'll open, sometimes not. But mostly not.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Hi Jeff,
Yes, I can export to movie without crashing.
I ran Sherlock and it found a few broken codecs:
"MainConcept (Adobe2) AAC Decoder"
"MainConcept (Adobe2) H.264/AVC Decoder"
"MainConcept (Adobe2) H.264/AVC Video Encoder"
"MainConcept (Adobe2) MPEG Audio Encoder"
"MainConcept (Adobe2) MPEG Video Encoder"
You can see the full txt report from Sherlock here:
http://greatmindspro.com/documents/Codecs.txt
Is there a way to repair these? I don't have any extra third party software installed, except for Magic Bullet Looks, but it's only an effects-based plug-in- nothing to do with exporting.
How could I repair these broken codecs?

Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder. I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me. I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more. This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

How do I reinstall missing Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

I need some help here ??
When attempting to encode on Vista from Premiere 3.2 the Adobe Media Encode (AME) just goes off and hangs.
Looked for the error log which lives at
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt
Make sure you have view hidden files turned on to look for this file..
Ok the folder "Adobe Media Encoder" is not on my machine... It looks like the installation is FUBAR.
I check CS3 Master Collection distribution - I don't see a module for Adobe Media Encoder to reinstall.
So my question is . How do I reinstall the "Adobe Media Encoder" for the CS3 collection ?
Anybody have a clue as how to do this ?
How do I reinstall the Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

Mr Hunt...
I my view you're a wizzard with statute more than Merlin...
Here's what I found. Last time I shut down ProPre I was on a dual monitor.
I tossed my laptop in the car went to 2nd location.
Re-configured laptop for single monitor mode.
Upon starting up ProPre hammered encoding and the resulting screen opened ...... which I could not see.
PrePro DOES NOT sense hardware.... Dhaaaaaaaaa
Its stays stuck in dual monitor mode !!!!!
You need a second monitor to unstick it !!!!!
I was unable to set it back to single mode without the 2nd monitor !!!
Yahhoooo !!!! Its working again !!!!!
Dhaaaaaaa

Adobe Media Encoder Lost

Hello: I use Premiere Pro 2.0. Last week I exported a video file just fine, but now my Adobe Media Encoder appears lost. No window pops up to adjust settings etc. I've tried cleaning up my system and reloading the PP 2.0 software but no luck. I can export to DVD, and to Movies, but when I click on Adobe Media Encoder nothing happens and it goes right back to my editing screen. Has this happened to anyone?
Thanks
P.s. running Vista x64
Marty

This has just happened to me.
After years of using AME to produce small files for Youtube and friends, it has dissappeared from the Export options.
I have an old XPPro/Matrox RT100 system/PremierePro2 and many projects behind me. I have the same symptons as the others.
The project is highlighted,
I have changed the name to a single word
I have tried a previosly exported clip
I have only ever had one monitor on my system,
but when I Export the timeline, the AME is in bold and available but when clicked ........... nothing happens.
I have collapsed all window to the desktop, but nothing is hiding.
The Matrox and Nero options listed alongside AME are working normally
Any ideas from anyone. Can it be accessed directly from outside PremierePro?
