Adobe Media Encoder Stopping While Encoding

I am trying to encode three sequences consisting of 4 .MXF files and .mp4 (h.264) files from two DSLRs (7d and 5d mkii) with some dynamic linked AE Comps (Lower Thirds with simple position and opacity in and outs). I was able to encode the first 2 sequences, but not without trouble (it took 3-5 tries for each sequence, but there is nothing specific which allowed it to finish). However, I am getting tired of the trouble I am having with getting the sequences to encode. The three places that AME gets stuck are reading the XMP file when it starts, reading the XMP file half way through (2 pass encoding) or processing the audio source halfway through. I have tried CBR, VBR 1 Pass and VBR 2 Pass, but neither of these seem to make any difference. The output file type is .mp4 (h.264) and I am using the built in presets (Vimeo HD 720p 29.97 and HD 720P 29.97). The audio is a single .wav file which is at 48 KHZ (I re-exported it with AME to change it from 44.1 to 48, thinking that was the problem). I tried clearing the cache, restarting AME and my computer (windows 8 MSI laptop), but these don't seem to have much effect.
Thanks for your help and time!
Cheers,
Corey

That software and OS are both pretty old.  You may find there aren't too many people still using them to help on this one.

  • 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 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.

  • Is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder

    is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder? We have many  camera clips needing luts applied then wrapped to ProRes422 for editing. right now we are using after effects, rendering out then wrapping in Encoder, but this workflow is quite time consuming.We've tried rendering proRes out of AE but the boss isn't happy with the results without also going through Encoder.

    No, there is not a way to apply color changes (e.g., using LUTs) in Adobe Media Encoder. Do this in After Effects, but just add your After Effects compositions directly to the Adobe Media Encoder encoding queue (e.g., by choosing File > Add After Effects Composition in the AME UI).

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS6 hangs while encoding Quicktime movies

    Every day I am enoding 2-3 videos 15-40 min long with AME CS6 and every second day it freezes or slows down to almost zero. The source material is mostly Quicktime ProRes 422 LT 1080 25p or Quicktime XDCAM EX 1080 25p. Target files are H264 videos in different sizes. The workstation is a MacPro 5.1 Xeon 8core, 12GB Ram and Nvidia Quadro 4000 with OSX 10.8.2. Only restart of the computer helps but just for a while then it slows down or freezes again. I am also using Davinci Resolve 9 lite which is sometimes not able to adress the QTencoder when AME is open ... ?
    Any Ideas for a solution?
    Thank you!

    I think it is a problem of Adobe QT32 Server. Adobe Media Encoder is encoding all Quicktime Movies through this Adobe QT32 Server, which is somehow the link between Adobe and Quicktime. But since Adobe QT32 Server is a 32bit application and Adobe Media Encoder a 64bit application it somehow blocks the Media Encoder. And if you have other applications running which somehow try to use Quicktime codec when Media Encoder is using the Adobe QT32 Server than everything slows down or collapses. These are my observations so far. I avoid any other video application as long as AME is open. For example: I close Davinci Resolve when I want to launch AME and close AME when I want to launch Davinci Resolve. This helps so far.

  • Problem- Adobe Media Encoder Stopping Mid Queue

    I was exporting my final movie, which was about 60 minutes. It was taking a long time to render when exporting to a quicktime file, which I expected, however, the Adobe Media Encoder stopped the rendering an hour later, only rendering half before shutting down. I am exporting it as a widescreen, NTCS DV Widescreen. Could have I screwed up the format and that is why it's failing to complete the exporting??? What can I do to solve this and have it complete the export. At the end of the report is says disk is full. But I know my hard drive could not be full.

    FAT-32 is your problem. DO NOT FORMAT!!!!!
    You want Convert. That is very, very different. Back in properties, look for the Volume Label of your drive. Copy down this label exactly like it appears. Capitalization is important. Get it right.
    You will need to then use a CMD Prompt command to Convert.
    To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
    Open the Command Prompt window.
    In the command prompt window, typeconvert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
    For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format.
    Notes
    To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
    You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.
    Again - DO NOT FORMAT!
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 crashes at a certain point while rendering

    Adobe Media Encoder CS5 crashes at a certain point while rendering, I have also tried to render directly from Premiere Pro but this only makes PremPro crash instead.
    The clip I am trying to render right now is 20 mins long, 1600x900 and is a .avi file. The output settings are H.264/HDTV 720p 29.97fps High Quality.

    I made sure that CS5 was updated before posting this.

    >1600x900 and is a .avi file

  • PProHeadless.exe has stopped working error when opening projects in Adobe Media Encoder CS6

    Hi, I recently upgraded to Adobe Cloud CS6 and am having problems with the Adobe Media Encoder CS 6 (version 6.0.1.31 64-bit).
    When I try to add Adobe Premiere projects in AME, it sometimes gives me the following error:
    PProHeadless.exe has stopped working
    I tried rebooting, and it still gives me the same error.  Sometimes the project will load, sometimes it won't.
    The Premiere projects contain a H.264 .mov file coming from my Canon T2i.  I also added an overlay logo to the bottom right of the video that I created in Adobe After Effects, which only contains text, no effects, no motion, etc.  Sometimes I also have a .wav file recorded from a Zoom H4n, but not always.  I usually edit those in Adobe Audition with the remove noise feature.
    I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I'm using an i7 with 16GB ram and an ATI 6870 video card.
    I have the LUT buddy plugin installed.
    It will give me the error the first time I try to load the project, and the connection to Dynamic Link Server will fail.  Afterwards, if I try to load the project again, even if I restart AME, it stays stuck in the Connecting to Dynamic Link server...
    Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated.

    Hi Dima,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.  Dragging the sequence from PPro to AME made AME lock up.  But your second suggestion of exporting the video directly from PPro seems to be working.  I still have 6 minutes to go, but at least it got up to 25% so far, so everything seems good.
    Thank you once again!
    (although it would be nice if I could go through AME just in case)

  • Adobe Media Encoder stops responding

    I have Adobe CS4 master collection installed here and I've run into a serious problem trying to get it Adobe Media Encoder to do what it's meant to do...encode.
    I export the project and in the initial export options window I can set everything up. I proceeed to Adobe media Encoder to finish the job and it opens and shows my video in the que, however, when I click to change the preset, or even click to start rendering, Adobe Media Encoder will simply hang forever. It just stops responding. It never used to do this.
    I'm running an intel core2quad q8400 @2.66gHz
    on fully updated windows 7 professional, 32 bit.
    Nvidia geForce 8400 GS,
    3.25 Gig useable RAM
    It's not project-specific because i've tried it with another project and it does the same thing. Tried restarting, tried to reinstall Premiere pro and adobe media encoder, tried to reinstall the entire creative suite, tried the premiere-shortcut-in-the-dynamic-link-folder thing...I'm at wits end and I nearing deadline.
    Anybody out there who might have conquered this problem under similiar circumstances? Please help...

    When I was having this problem, I ended up having to search the entire
    sequence for the problem area, a video or image that was causing the encoder
    to fail. After narrowing it down to a certain section of the timeline, I
    worked through elimination to find the problem video, removing one video,
    image or image sequence at a time and encoding the problem area again....on
    the two occasions I've had to do this, I found one corrupt video and one
    large sequence of images that, which for some reason the encoder didn't
    like...re-encoding the problem video and putting it back into the project
    solved it for me.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 stops during export (Adobe Media Encoder also)

    Hello,
    I have been using the Adobe CS6 Video Bundle for a few years now and suddenly I've been having an issue with exporting my timelines in an H.264 format.
    Any H.264 video that I try to export that exceeds approximately 900MB stops in the middle of the export and gives me this message:
    My video bundle has been doing some odd things lately and this is possibly the most annoying. My computer is a custom built workstation so it's not like my computer can't handle it.
    -Intel i7 4.2ghz overclocked CPU
    -32GB RAM
    -Adobe Video Bundle installed in 120GB SSD
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nate

    Thank you for your response.
    -I tried exporting an AVI and the file exported succesfully but with a warning "Adobe Media Encoder Could not write XMP data in output file." The file plays fine though and is over 5.5GB. So that's odd that my h.264 which is under 1GB won't fully export.
    -Yes, the same thing happens when exporting directly from PrPro instead of using AME.
    -In this project I am using NO Dynamic Links.
    -I have not installed any codec libraries.
    -I do not use 3rd party plug-ins.
    -My destination drive has several terabytes.
    Thanks,
    Nate

  • Premiere stops when opening tab "Adobe Media Encoder"

    Working with Premiere CS3
    When I want to export movie to flv, I open File-> Export-> Adobe Media Encoder
    Then I have to select, but since a few days when I click the Adobe Media Encoder button, Premiere stops and is out of service.
    When I start up Premiere again, it repeats.
    Yesterday I've downloaded Quicktime (of a CD which needed it for playing).
    But after uninstall Quicktime, the problem is still there.
    So I've set back the date to Wednesday (two days ago) but nothing will help.
    How can I solve this problem?

    More information would be very useful. This ARTICLE will give you tips on what types of info are needed, and how to gather some of it.

  • "R6025 -pure virtual function call" Error While Use Adobe Media Encoder

    I'm trying to use Adobe Media Encoder (CS3) to output a project to H.264. I have about 3 minutes of footage on the Premier Pro CS3 Timeline, all of it in Cineform AVI intermediate format. When I export the movie through AME and select 2-pass VBR, it gets through the first pass, but crashes at 50% on the second pass with the error:
    "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program E:\Progra...
    R6025
    -pure virtual function call"
    Any ideas what may be causing this error?

    Point taken...
    I'm on a Dell XPS 720 Windows XP (32-bit) system, with all up-to-date service packs and patches. I have 4GB RAM installed, and Production Premium CS3, TMPGEncXPress and Cineform's Neo Scene. Neo Scene is a recent addition and the problem existed prior to its installation. I have two 7900GS graphics cards (each with 256MB video RAM), running in SLI mode.
    I dual boot Windows XP: One system is "Messy" with all kinds of stuff installed. The other is "Clean" and has virtually nothing installed, except for the three suites previously mentioned. No anti-virus or anti-spyware software is installed on the Clean system. I get the error on both systems.
    I saw the post from September 2007 reference vcredist_x86. I'll be trying that at my next opportunity, however, I'm not sure that will fix it, as I don't see why both systems would suffer from the same corruption. I'll also be swapping out RAM to see if that fixes the issue.

  • 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

    Creative Cloud:  No.
    Working with a mix of RED 5k, 4.5k and 4k footage; all shot 23.976

    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

    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.
    Regards, Arie de Jong, Rotterdam

    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.
    Regards from Arie de Jong

  • Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 (64bit) freezes at the start of encoding

    Hey everyone. I have this problem since ever and never found solution for it even at google. The thing is that after I finish my project in Adobe Premiere and going to export it, Media Encoder starts encoding but freezes at connecting to dynamic media server. After some time Im getting error, operation was interrupted by user. The only way to encode my footage is... You wont believe but - I need to logout and log again on my windows account. After I do that and try to encode everything works fine. No idea what couses problem, tried to check my processes list and turned off all adobe premiere connected but no resoult. There has to be something what is shuting down while loging out of my account and blocks adobe media encoder. No idea what is it though. I still can export my footage but it is annoying coz sometimes Id like to enode my footage in the background and Im in the middle of something so I cant just logout :/
    Any help would be appreciated.

    After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?
