Adobe Media Encoder stops

I have rendered out 330 frames as png files into a sequence that can loop. I brought the group of files into PPCS4 as a sequence and copy/pasted it 3 times on my timeline. I rendered it out a couple time last night and this morning as a WMV just fine. Now when I try to render the video out as any format (WMV, Quicktime, H.264) it starts and goes through about the first 25% then it stops. It says it is still encoding, but it isn't doing anything.
I have rebooted 3 times. Same results each time. This is very frustrating.
Any ideas?
Dean

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.

  • 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 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 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

  • 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.

    Hello,
    I read that the cleaner tool didn't work. Premiere CS5 has the option of sending it to AME or encoding right from the timeline. Render times seem about the same.
    Must be your "dynamic link" that's broken. This crashes my system every time I touch the keyboard while it's making a copy of the project file for AME.
    I've also found that I need to reboot after editing with a complicated codec like h.264 before encoding if I don't want my system to hang.
    CS4 only lets you render one thing at a time anyway, so hopefully you have that option of encoding right from the timeline. Otherwise After Effects becomes your encoding engine until starting from scratch.

  • 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)

  • 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,

  • 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?

  • Adobe Media Encoder (CS5) has encountered an error (WinFile.cpp-759)

    I have a 714 MB Xvid file that I want to split into smaller pieces. I have gone successfully through a similar process earlier with a larger Xvid file using the same version of Adobe Media Encoder (CS5). It appears that no matter which output video format I choose, the process crashes with the following error message shown in a new pop-up dialog:
    "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-759].
    (Even the source program file line number 759 in the above error message is always the same, regardless of my chosen output file format.)
    The only option available from this point onwards is the "Continue" button. When I click Continue the program terminates with the Windows program crash message "Adobe Media Encoder CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. <Debug> / <Close program>"
    My search for other similar problem reports revealed that some user(s) has/have experienced a very similar problem in CS4, but the source line number was slightly different in CS4. Both problems are probably caused by the same error in Adobe's software. The small difference in source line numbers is probably due to some (minor) and probably unrelated changes to this C++ source module (WinFile.cpp).
    It might of course be the case that this particular input video file has some rare encoding or other embedded problem. However, the fact that I can view the video without problems using Windows Media Player does not support this theory.
    Apart from this message board I could not find any other avenue to report this bug to Adobe (without paying for support - which I am obviously not going to do as this is clearly a programming bug in the software). Hopefully some Adobe developer responsible for Media Encoder maintenance will read this forum from time to time and would subsequently inspect the source module for any obvious defects. I could supply the source video file with which this problem can be reproduced at will.

  • Adobe Media Encoder error when encoding: winfile.cpp-759

    Mods: Please move this to the appropriate thread wasn't sure to move it to Premiere or Flash
    I receive this error when trying to encode AVI to H.264 using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (64bit):
    When searching through the forums, several suggestions for CS4 and current releases that I have tried are:
    clearing the media cache through AME, and the folder location in %APPDATA%\Adobe\Common\
    installing K-Lite Codec pack
    changing the media cache files folder to a separate disk entirely
    updating to the latest version (at the time of post ver 5.0.1.0)
    uninstalling and re-installing AME (as an error might have occurred during updates)
    verifying that the CPU has SSE support and is enabled
    I expanded my search to google which gave similar errors (winfile.cpp-754, winfile.cpp-758, etc.) and a few responses were uninstalling any Nero products (don't have any burning programs on this computer - unless you count Windows)
    The system that I have is:
    MS Windows 7 64-bit
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
    2x 1.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 800MHz
    512MB GeForce 9600 GHz
    2x 250GB HDD Mirrored
    External USB 500GB HDD
    Any ideas as to what the cause of this is?
    LK.

    The information about installing codecs packs is true. It usually does more damage to your codecs already present with software already installed on your computer, and the registry settings even after removing it. That is why it is in good practice to do full image back ups monthy, saving the latest 3 for when I utilize last resort methods such as codec packs.
    Adobe CS5 software has been working fine on my computer ever since its installation July. I forgot to mention that I have successfully used Premiere Pro CS5 for editing a dozen files ranging from SD small res to HD 1080i. This also includes just using AME CS5 itself for transcoding files for supported playback on different devices. I notice a greater difference in speed when using a more up to date machine that uses a GTX 285 card for GPU playback - a lot faster and smoother.
    I have a 2nd, slightly older computer, that houses an extra drive I put in there to use as a scratch disk. I occasionally add that disk to the computer that has CS5 currently installed as a scratch disk for editing video. The external USB drive is used to store the final product and my backups.
    This error has only come up 1 time out of the 49 files I have encoded that usually run 10 minutes to 1.5 hours. I had 9 AVI files in the encoding queue and it always stopped at this 1 particular file. I skipped the file and encoded the rest successfully, but I want to know why it causes an error in AME because this has never happened before. I have even used it on a more up-to-date machine spec wise, thinking that there is a 1% possibility that it doesn't like my computer. The same error was produced. The 9 files that I did encode are roughly the same video and audio format - just this one is the error.
    I gave the file to my friend who was supposed to analyze before I got home - I usually assist them in PC problems and built his better-than-mine PC.
    Any other suggestions for this error and/or a solution?

  • 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.
