Adobe Media Encoder CC Outputs Corrupted Frames

The film strip below tells the story - these are 6 frames from the rendered output of a project. Frames 1 & 2 fine, frames 3 lots of blocks and pixelization, frame 4 jumps back a few seconds earlier in the clip(!), frame 5 blocks and pixelization again, and from 6 back to where we should be. (Note that the pixelization actually occurs for 2 frames either side of the "historical" frame, I've only shown one each side below to shrink the image a little - happy to upload the full sequence as images or YouTube, etc).
Has anyone else encountered this? Fixes? (HELP!)
I originally output this a couple of months ago. I just updated my CC software to the latest yesterday and tried again - output is the same. I have output with different settings (one pass, two pass, various other quality features turned on / off), always the same output. The complete output is 4:17:39:07 (yep, just over 4 hours), and the corruption starts at 2:48:59:10. Source video is clean, and if I pull just this section out to its own timeline and output, it outputs clean - that's how I ultimately fixed it (output the piece separately, hand edited it back into place with TMPG MPEG editing tools). What scares me MOST is that I only noticed this because it was right near a chapter stop on the final DVD - where else is my video likely to be corrupt?!? I don't normally watch every frame of the final rendered output (it's all reviewed during the edit), and I shouldn't have to. I'm wondering now where else this might have occurred that I don't know about.
For review, here is the summary of source / output data:
Source: Sequence, 2013_08_31_National, 1440x1080 (1.3333), 25fps, Upper, 04:17:39:07, 48000 Hz, Stereo
Output: 2013_08_31_National.m2v, PAL, 720x576, 25 fps, Lower, Quality 100, VBR, 2 Pass, Min 2.80, Target 4.10, Max 7.00 Mbps, Dolby Digital, 192kbps, 48 kHz Stereo, 16 bit
I normally have "Render at Maximum Depth" and "Use Maximum Render Quality" checked on the final output, although I did do an earlier draft output of this without those checked - exact same frames had errors.

I have the same problems making videos for a DVD.. I have been rendering output for 15 musical videos, and they behave like madmaxmovies explains. I don´t know how to get a film strip like above, but my videos do the same. Out of the 15 videos, only one has no problems at all, the rest have like 2 - 3 such passages in every video (2-3 mins long)
Source (example): AA040101.MXF, Type: XDCAM-HD 422 Movie, File Size: 1,9 GB, Image Size: 1920 x 1080, Frame Rate: 25,00, Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Mono, Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono, Total Duration: 00:05:55:05, Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
Output (example file): PAL, 720x576, 25 fps, Progressive, Quality 75%, VBR, 2 pass, Min 2.80, Target 5.00, Max 7.00 Mbps, PCM Audio, 48 kHz, Stereo, 16 bit
UPDATE:
I tried to make an output directly from PP. The first result was good - no problems, but in second output the problem occured again, in a different spot compared to the "Jump" in the previous output.
When importing the mpeg-file with corrupted frames, into a timeline in the project, the output of this video-file did not have any corruptions in the spot where it previous was, Also when rendering just a small part of the original file, around the spot where the corruption had occured before, this output was ok.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC outputs black video

    I've been having problems with AME for quite some time, such that I don't even use it except for very short videos.  If I export video in AME, the first half is good, but the second half is black video only.  If I export directly from Premiere Pro, all is well every time.  It's most frustrating to be paying for a product monthly that does not work, so please overlook my frustration.   Has anyone successfully gotten a discount from Adobe for the failure of software to work as advertised?
    Here's another issue I have: there is no way to file a bug for AME as it is not available in the drop down list on Adobe's support site. (How is that even possible?)  I would have reported a bug long ago if this was available. 
    Has anyone seen this?  I've tried many different things the last few weeks but have given up using AME altogether.  This week I have a little time to troubleshoot.

    Ask in the AME/ Premiere forum and by all means provide some solid technical info - system specs, sequence settings, render settings, footage used. Nobody can help you without that.

  • Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 update forces Frame Blend

    I didn't really want to repost, but I felt the title and info in my previous post were innacurate (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2576915#2576915)
    In my previous post, I thought Premiere was to blame, but after a few reinstallations, I've found that the update to AME 4.2 causes the problem.
    I've found that Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 forces Frame Blend, even if it has been disabled on each clip of the timeline, when the frame rate of your sequence settings differ from the frame rate of the target format.
    Example: Exporting from 24fps Desktop -> MPEG2-DVD (23.976fps)
    Adobe Media Encoder 4.1 does not have this behavior.  I've reverted to 4.1 for the time being.
    If anyone has a workaround for this, or any other info on this problem, please share.

    I am having a similar problem.  Is it just me or is it Adobe?  I have had so many problems with Adobe Premiere CS4.  It may have also been exacerbated by the fact the I updated to 4.2.1 (mostly in part to determine if another issue was resolved with this update).
    I have some editing background in the Windows Movie Maker and iMovie world, and was excited to use Adobe Premiere, but I have had nothing but problems.
    Everything that I am trying to do, looks really washed out, and renders the video useless.
    I am trying to do what you just described, with speeding up and slowing video to match the computer actions with the person's voice.  I am capturing video using CamStudio and Helix YV12 CODEC, and tried to use HuffyUV lossless compression: using DV-NTSC as the standard format.
    Then I go to compose my video, and output the video, but the video is crap.  It sounds like the Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder are having major problems.
    I tried rendering it to Uncompressed Microsoft AVI with UYVY @ 100% quality, and tried to compare it with Windows Media at the highest quality, and it is frustrating.  When I hear that Frame Blend is being applied, it seems to look worse.
    I am running:
    Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.33 GHz (which is kind of slow)
    8 GB RAM, 2 SATA 1 TB Drives WD Caviar Green (a little substandard)
    Windows XP 64-bit
    Let me know there is another process that I am missing.  I don't really want to give up on Adobe Premiere, but from a end-user standpoint, I will have to revert back to using WMM due to time constraints.  I want to take full advantage of all of the editing and effects capabilities of Premiere, but can't because I can't even produce a decent export to be used by any other program (and given that every conversion will in some way affect the quality of the output, I want to reduce any intermediate steps).
    Arrggh!!!

  • Sizes In Adobe Media Encoder...

    I make a PAL movie in Premiere Pro CS3 with clips from my Panasonic GS500 camera. Export to Adobe Media Encoder CS3 and it gives an output frame size (for FLV) of 1024 x 576.
    I open the same sequence in Premiere Pro CS4 and Export to Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and the frame size becomes 1050 x 576.
    Why the two different width sizes? I have not done any resizing or cropping.
    If I do resize the video by half, so that 576 becomes 288 (keeping the proportion link checked) the size becomes 512 x 288. 512 is not half of 1050.
    Also, why is there no Deinterlace button, as there was on CS3. Do we assume that the video is being deinterlaced by default? Or, as some others have complained when exporting to DVD, is the exported video remaining interlaced? This might account for why I cannot get the same FLV picture quality, using exactly the same settings, as I did with CS3.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Spok.

    HI Colin,
    well, i used to be very happy with SorensonSqueeze, but for more than a year now, I'm just using Compressor (indeed from FCStudio).
    It's VERY handy and lets you manage your settings in a way AME can't even think of in version 8... I mean nothing extraordinary, just the way it should, with possibility to move, edit, group, duplicate, rename, describe your settings...
    And as for flv encoding (at the time of CS3, which I still have on my desktop machine) by installing the Suite, it would also install the codec for Compressor.. Excellent! Which CS4 doesn't do anymore... which forces us to use this terrible AME.. That's the scandale to my humble opinion!
    But ok, via Compressor, you get the settings for flv... with the deinterlace box as on the attached image. Indeed with VP6 encoder.
    And no, me neither, i'm not torn up, but it would have been nice Adobe gave us the info!
    Compressor does also a great job in slomo. That's quite new but impressive. And Compressor is MUCH faster than AME.. AME takes ages! For a good result, I agree.
    voila...

  • Turning off frame blending in Adobe Media Encoder

    Is there a way to turn off frame blending in Adobe Media Encoder?  I have a bunch of
    Flip Mino HD footage (1280x720p) which I wish to convert to P2 720p format so that
    I can more easily mix and match it in the Premiere timeline with actual P2 footage
    shot on an HVX200.
    I successfully used Media Encoder to perform this task but there is one problem.  The
    Flip footage is 30fps and P2 720p is 29.97fps.  So Media Encoder uses frame blending.
    The frame blending sometimes creates obnoxious artifacts so I would like to turn it
    off but there seems to be no way to do this (or alternatively "conform" the 30fps input
    to 29.97fps so that no blending is nescessary).
    After Effects CS4 would seem like an alternative since it has nice batch composition
    creation and rendering features but it cannot render to the P2 format - it appears to
    have a older version of Media Encoder embedded within it - predating P2 support.
    I would like a solution that is easily "batchable" as I have several hunderd Flip Mino HD
    clips that need to be processed.
    You might also ask, why not just import the Flip clips unchanged into Premiere CS4
    and mix them with the P2 clips?....I have tried this and it seems to drive Premiere crazy
    introducing various crashes and other strange behaviors.  The pre conversion to P2
    route seems to work fine.  I just want to get rid of the frame blending.

    I happened upon this video just before I made my posting and it doesn't help with the
    crashes/hangs.  When I import more than about 20 Flip Mino HD clips it seems to trigger
    some sort of memory corruption bug in Premiere.  Some of the clips start to just
    show as solid green in their thumbnail views in the timeline and scrubbing the timeline
    eventually hangs Premiere altogether.  This is reproducible on two different computers
    although the exact symptoms change slightly each time it is tried.  Importing only 3 or 4
    clips actually seems to work, at least for a short while.
    The problems happen even if the only thing imported into the project are Mino footage and
    the Sequence is set to Desktop or XDCAM mode.  So the crashes have nothing to do
    with P2 editing mode.
    The same installation of Premiere CS4 on one of these computers has been just used to
    successfully edit and render out a P2 project with hundreds of clips, stills and titles so the
    basic CS4 installation seems to be solid.
    I'll eventually file a bug report but for now I'm more interested in getting the job done.

  • Adobe Media Encoder All Video Output 'White'

    Hi all,
    I am attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder to  export a QT h264 optimized for upload to facebook from a QT file exported 'Same as Source' from Avid MC 5.0.3, whic would be 1080i60 1920x1080.  The source file playsback correctly in QT player or VLC, but even the output preview screen in AME shows only a white image.
    I've also tried converting a completely different QT file created in Premiere Pro, with the same white video output issue.  I've tried opening/closing AME with no luck, but hte last time I used it I didn't have any problems and was able to produce the desired end result.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks for your input,
    Lindsay

    Hi,
    Yes you are correct in assuming the two software packages are on different machines. I am using Premire Pro CS5 5.0 and Avid Nitris DX MC 5.0.3 And no, I do not believe I have installed any Avid Codecs.  I just followed your link, will download and do so now.  I'm assuming this will fix the bug, but if not I will let you know.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Can I output for flash 7 with adobe media encoder

    Our Flash Player 7 needs to play this movie.
    Adobe Media Encoder doesn't seem to give me many options for what Flash Player my output file will work with.
    But I don't know much about video so maybe there's a way.
    Anyone know?

    Look at it from the viewpoint of what codecs the player will accept, and proceed from there.

  • Alpha channel in Adobe Media Encoder output

    Hello, I would like to know how to get the same result in Adobe Media Encoder as you get from AE rendering using Quicktime container and PNG + alpha codec.
    On the left is the SS from playing AME rendered video in any player, even Win preview, on the rigth is how it is played if rendered from AE with same settings. (AME has 32bit. AE has RGB + alpha)
    Even the file sizes are different so this clearly isn't equivalent to AEs render. And yes, if you import what AME rendered into AE, it looks ok, but I need this to look OK in video players.
    Am I missing something, or this simply isn't possible?
    Thank you for your time.
    Sandi

    I want to do in "AME", the functions that have After Effects.
    Are they?
    RGB - Opaque = Colors / Transparent = black.
    Alpha - Opaque = White / Transparent = Black.
    RGB+Alpha - Opaque = Colors / Transparent = Transparent.
    As in After Effects.

  • Maximum file size with Adobe Media Encoder?

    I seem to be having a problem when converting files in AME.
    I'm converting .m2v files into quicktimes files, using the DVCPRO HD 1080i50 codec. No sound is being exported with the audio.
    Dimensions are 1440 x 1080, frame rate, field type and aspect are locked at 25, Upper First and HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333) respectivly.
    I've encoded about eleven other files of the same type without fail, however this certain file is at 1.7gig compared, where as every other file I wanted to encode is under 1gig.
    I'm using an Asus N53SV with 16gig of ram, so I'm sure my laptop can handle whatever is thrown at it. I'm using a 64bit operating system on Windows 7 home premium Service pack one.
    Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2630QM CPU @ 2.00Ghz
    RAM Memory: 16gig

    I'm assuming either the file is corrupt or I don't have sufficient specs to handle the large file.
    Any help will be great,
    Thanks.

    There are no file size limits to the software beyond what would be imposed by the operating system itself and the file format of the drive.
    So...assuming you have enough drive space, something else is going on.

  • Adobe Media Encoder stopped working in this project, works in others

    Adobe Media Encoder just stopped working in my current project (in PPRO CS3). I'd output several MPEG2-DVD and Windows Media Files. Then I went to make one more MPEG2-DVD file, and when I clicked OK in AME, nothing happened. It should open a window to select where I want to put the file, and a few more options. No crash, no freeze, no error messages..and no output.
    None of the AME formats work (WMF, Quicktime, etc). But other exports do work. I made my MPEG2-DVD file using Export to Encore.
    I opened another project I'm working on, and AME does work in that project.
    Back to my current project, and it still doesn't work.
    I've rebooted, and uninstalled-reinstalled PP CS3.
    Anyone fixed this?  Thanks!

    After some more playing, I discovered that the other sequences in this project do still export using AME. So I made a new sequence, copied all the media from the problem sequence into the new one, and it exports OK.  I lose fairly extensive Encore chapter marking, but that's a minor problem. No way to "cut and paste" chapter markers, I don't suppose?
    For curiosity value, if I make a duplicate of the problem sequence, all the media in the duplicate sequence has a red bar (unrendered) except for the parts that have already been rendered, which have a green bar. This is straight transferred DVCam media and shouldn't need rendering.  If I add some new video to the sequence, it gets a red bar too. Bizarre. Oh, and it won't export.
    I tried a few other tricks with the original problem sequence: delete all media, and replace with one new short clip; delete the chapter markers; shorten the work area bar to just a few seconds and try to export "work area only"; turn off tracks; deselect either audio or video in AME... nothing worked to make this sequence export.
    I also tried making a whole new project, and importing this one into it. Nothing changes - the problem sequence still wont' export, a copy of it leaves all media "unrendered..." exact same trouble as the original project. But it was while playing with this new project that I discovered that my other sequences did export, leading me back to the original project. That should have been the first or second thing I checked. Brain-dead Sunday.
    Conclusion: something corrupt in the sequence, but darned if I can figure out what. Not the media. Not the chapter markers. There's code in the sequence itself, and I guess that must be it.
    Enough time wated on this project. Thanks, all!

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC constantly crashing during batch encodes

    Hello!
    We just made the big switch to Premiere Pro CC for our TV shows and now that it's time to finalize our first few episodes we are having some major problems batch exporting segments of the show. Sometimes it works, sometimes it works half way through the batch list then crashes, sometimes it crashes right away. There is no consistency, other than crashes are happening all the time. Here's what is happening:
    • AME 7.2.0.43 (64-bit)
    • Mac OS X 10.9.1 on 2x2.66 GHx 6-Core Intel Xeon, 40 GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM
    • Startup disk is SSD w/ 4GB free space (all footage is on external storage)
    • Using Premiere Pro CC to export via AME.
    • All recent updates insatlled as of 3/10/14.
    The source footage is ProRes 422 720p 59.94 footage from AJA KiPros. Each project has 16 segments - these are individual sequences. There are 7 tracks of audio and 4-5 tracks of video in each. In addition to the video there are targa files that include the score bug, full screen graphics, etc (this is sports). There are also some Adoby Dynamic Link After Effects elements throughout.
    Editing has been fairly crashless - however when I File > Export > Media and queue it up in AME, that's when the fun starts.
    I can rarely get through an entire batch list - generally within a few files the preview window at the bottom shows that it has halted and nothing further will encode. There is no way to stop or close the program without force quitting. When I have tried to encode from Premiere Pro CC directly, it works, although it is much slower and will only do the one sequence at a time.
    I have been trying to encode to two different formats from within AME:
    1.) ProRes 422 720 59.94 (just like the source footage) with 4 channels of audio.
    2.) ProRes 422 1080i29.97 with 4 channels of audio.
    We have different broadcast partners so we need to deliver in these two difference specs. I get crashes regularly on both outputs.
    Possibly unrelated but also weird - I've noticed that when AME starts this crashing cycle sometimes Premiere CC won't let me save anyome. The status bar comes up like it's going to save the project but it goes nowhere. I have to quit without saving. Weird.
    Can anyone help me further troubleshoot? This is bordering near deal breaker to continue using this software if I have this much trouble when trying to get my project outputted. Thank you!

    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.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 hangs when adding files of varying HD resolutions.

    I've seen questions similar to this related to CS4 but never explained very well, and my CS4 for mac worked fine.  I am unsure if this is a new problem or a windows specific problem but here is the situation, if you need more information I will gladly provide it.
    For the past week or so I have been encoding 1920x1080i mov files (h.264/aac) to 1280x720p (vp6/mp3) flvs.  When I stick to that single HD format in the AMC processing que everything works great. However, when I add older HD content into the AMC que, content with non-standard presets, the program hangs.  I tried to import about 15 files last night and the program just sat there all night in a '...NOT RESPONDING' state.  The video's have different audio and video settings and it's little difficult to pinpoint exactly what they were.  Some are 1440x1080, some are 1280x900, some have PCM audio some of mp3. 
    Now I temporarily resolved this issue by simply using cs4 master on my mac pro which worked great.  However I have noticed a huge speed increase in CS5 64bit AMC.  It takes 2-3 hours to encode 1 flash video on my mac pro (dual quad core xeon 2.9Ghz/32GB ram) with CS4.  It takes ~20 minutes on my windows 7 station (single core 2 quad 3Ghz/8GB ram) with CS5.
    How to replicate:
    If I drop a single file into the AMC CS5 que, regardless of the resolution, frame rate, or sound codec; it will import.  If I then add another file with a different resolution AMC will hang and become non-responsive.  It never crashed but I can't wait 12+ hours to see if it accepted a job or not.  As I said before this problem was not observed on CS4 for mac - it worked flawlessly, albeit a little slow. 
    Software used:
    Adobe Media Encoder CS5 windows 64bit
    Adobe Media Encoder CS4 mac 32bit
    System specs:
    Windows 7 home:
    Core 2 quad 3Ghz
    8GB ram
    80GB SSD x25-m
    nVidia Quadro 580
    OSX 10.6.3:

    32GB ram
    4 7200 disks in 4TB raid 0
    Radeon HD 2600
    Matrox MAX h.264 compressor card
    Any advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your time

    Hi Michael,
    Sorry to hear you're having problems with Adobe Media Encoder.  I'd like to get some more information about the problem so I can better understand your workflow, and potentially try to recreate the problem.  For what it's worth, I often import files of different resolutions without any problem, so I want to find out what's different about how you're using AME.
    Apologies for the long list of questions; the small details can be important.
    -- After you import the first file, what else do you do in AME?  Change the preset?  Change the settings?  Change the output destination?
    -- What are the properties of the files that are causing the problem?  You said it happens on "non-standard" files, but can you describe the specifications for one or more files that cause the problem?  Please include file type, length, frame rate, frame dimensions, field order (if applicable), alpha mode (if applicable), and audio type and rate.  If you know more the bitrate, both video and audio, that would be nice, too.
    -- If any of the files are small enough, could you post a couple online that I could try on my machine?

  • Adobe Media Encoder timecode doesn't match Premiere sequence

    Hi, I'm having an issue when exporting through Adobe Media Encoder.  My source sequence is 23.976 fps; I've set the Display Format in AME to 24 fps (options are 24, 25 and 30) and the export setting to 23.976 but the time codes don't match; AME seems to be adding frames.  Over the course of a 90 minute export AME is adding about 6 seconds; the Premiere sequence is 01:33:52:13 while the AME export settings show 01:33:58:04.
    I'm exporting this in chunks so I'm concerned that when I string them all together with the audio there will be a sync problem.
    Version:  AME CS6 6.0.2.81 64bit
    Using with Premiere CS6; have entire suite installed
    Most recent update installed
    Mac OS X 10.7.3
    Creative Cloud:  No.
    Working with a mix of RED 5k, 4.5k and 4k footage; all shot 23.976
    No error messages
    Is the problem only occurring with a specific output format or encoding preset? If so, which one? - same on all outputs; exporting to prores 422 1920x1080 23.976
    Running Premiere at same time
    Mac Pro, 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-core intel xeon, 64 gb ram, solid state boot drive, red rocket, black magic, decklink hd extreme 3d+
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro? - yes by default? no cuda / opencl
    An unrelated problem I've also been having is when I try to export the full sequence, or even half, the export will freeze around 40%.  No error message, just stops.

    How are you checking the exports?

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 doesn't work anymore (WHY? WHAT's WRONG?)

    The system I use is Adobe Production Premium CS5.
    I have often used Adobe Media Encoder CS5 started from the export of a film sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
    On the 31st of December 2013 my computer crashed and dumped more or less at the end of a process of Adobe Media Encoder CS5. There was no complete output.
    Since then this program Adobe Media Encoder CS5 cannot start up anymore.
    It stops at the start-up saying that the program does not work anymore and that there will be looked for a solution. But then it finishes saying that it will be reported if a solution becomes available in the future.
    I have tried the following:
    - Run Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (exe) from directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
    - Stop security control AVG while not online with internet => run Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
    - Reinstalled complete Production Premium CS5 suite => same problem.
    - Removed complete directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 and then reinstalled Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 => the full directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 with contents was there after the install, but subsequent running of Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
    - Removed complete contents of D:\mediacache\database\Media Cache and D:\mediacache\Media Cache Files => same problem.
    What more can I do ??????
    I would be very grateful for a solution.

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you very much for the suggestions for a solution. First I considered
    re-installing Win 7 Pro, because I did not have a fall-back point
    predefined. So I could not try to reload a previous system environment. But
    for your information the following.
    Yesterday my son suggested that there could be some corruption in a control
    file of Adobe Media Encoder, because re-installing that program did not
    give a solution. Obviously that then would have to be a file which is not
    affected by a program re-install.
    What he then did for me is to remove directory
    Users\owner\ AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder    (he actually
    renamed it to hide that directory for Media Encoder).
    Thereafter we ran program Media Encoder from Premiere. The result was that
    a new directory ......\ Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder with proper
    control files was automatically generated and the problem was solved.
