Adobe Premiere Pro CC or media encoder MFX OP1a Bug

Hi I'm outtputting for broadcast TV Commercial and getting a consistant audio issue with adobe premiere pro cc MFX OP1a using IMX30 pal export master. Orginial project is HD exported AVI from After effects, audio is .wav 48k. The audio has a glitch where it almost seems to drop out by a frame. I tried this over and over again with all my projects and the same issue. It's usually around 1 second in and occurs once. My projects are 30 second in length or 15 second at a time. I have ended up going back to Adobe CS6 so I can fix this issue and send to the tv station for playout (cs6 is fine). Is there any chance someone could look into this or check to see if there is an issue here? I have tried this on all our computers here running CC and the same issue.

Bumping this as it seems to be an update issue. I have noticed it now with premiere pro cs6 update. Works fine for 6.0.3 but the update to 6.0.5 has the same issue as above. Have reported this to Adobe however don't see any changes, this is a major problem since this is the broadcast standard for uploading to station down in NZ and the media uploaded has confirmed other cases of this issue around.

Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

Hello,
I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 & Media Encoder Crash when rendering

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error. Is there a way to go around this step? Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality? Anything I can do?
Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
Thank you

as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
1.) system
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) OE
5.) Bugs
This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro error saying Media Encoder is not installed (it is)

I'm trying to export a sequence from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Media Encoder CC. After changing all the export settings to what I want in Premiere, I go to select the Queue button and receive the message "Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature. Go to https://creative.adobe.com/apps". I have Media Encoder open right now. Any idea why they aren't communicating? I'm using a Macbook Pro btw.

You need AME 8.0.1 to match that version of Premiere. The most up to date for both is 8.2.0. Try clicking on help-updates in each program rather that using CC updater.

Premiere Pro CS5. Media Encoder .dll interace message.

Out of the blue, when I am working in Premiere Pro CS5 and want to export media, I get an error message about "this software could not find the required software interface .dll. Reinstall the software and try again..."
This just started several days ago. I have changed nothing. I did do as asked and reloaded the Adobe Premiere program and that worked for about a day. And now it is back. Also, my Premiere CS5 is starting to crash fairly often where as before it never did. I haven't changed anything on the computer. No new software added. No windows 7 updates of any kind.
Any ideas on what to do.

I experienced this at one point. Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime. (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.) However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem. Search this board using quicktime as a search phase. The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions. I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

Exported HD video from Premiere Pro CS4 via Media encoder Freezes mid way through video

Hi,
I couldnt find this raised by anyone else so thought id start a new thread. Ive tried a couple of times to export an edited project only to find the video is all good up until roughly half way through the video at which point the video freeezes, the time keeps moving along as if its playing but no video. It looks like the encode failed at this point. I have no problems if I split up the video and export it in smaller pieces but obviously this isnt good enough
Any ideas as to the cause?
Additional info:
Im patched upto CS4.1
Source footage is AVCHD
Project goes for just over an hour
Cheers

That suggests some failure somewhere in the encoding process. It could be something in your timeline around 43 minutes, maybe a blank space (even for a single frame), a disk hiccup causing some part to go missing, other hardware problems. It could be a myriad of things going wrong. What background processes are running, what is your hardware setup, what are the temperatures during encoding, etc. Check the second part of this link: If you need help quickly...Guideline for posting an effective question

Adobe Premiere Pro Won't Export To Adobe Media Encoder?

I Work for a news company and we use Adobe for aeverything we need. But when we take a little break from doing videos while we where moving to a new office space, and suddenly we start again and It decided not to export to the Adobe Media Encoder. Usually it was a 5 second process and now it does not work at all. We have adobe premiere pro cs5.5 from the CC (We are currently not planning on upgrading to CS6 anytime soon.) We have no plugins for it and it works for everything else. When I use the Exporter it Exports in in too low of a quality for use. Help? If you need I work at better-community-news.com, Sooolutions (Seprate buisness same owner.) Glad Studios, (also same owner...all the places I work are the same guy), X.L.N.T Marketing and thats about it. Its a team of 3 guys and we would appricate any help! Thanks!

You do know that this is a user to user forum, not an official Adobe support site?
Which means that there is NOT a full time group of people just waiting to answer questions
Don't you think that complaining about nobody answering in less than 2 hours is a little unreasonable?

Adobe Premiere Pro CC / Media Encoder CC Crashing On Export

Hi,
I have a 1 hour project consisting of
- iPhone 5 Video clips recorded at 1080p/30fps using app FilmicPro
- Various Image files, imported as PSD's
- WAV Sound files
My Sequence Settings are:
Export Settings are:
As you can tell by the file name, i already installed ALL updates.
I just installed a new graphics card (GTX 770) a few days ago, but these crashes were happening before i installed the card, and now after I've installed it, so it's not related at all (before i was just using my CPU (Intel HD 4600). (At the moment I have CUDA enabled).
Full Specs
- Windows 8.1 Pro
- Adobe Premiere Pro 7.2.2
- Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2
- Intel i7 4770k
- 8GB RAM
- NVidia GTX 770
The crashes always happen at the exact same place on both Premiere Export and Media Encoder, no idea what's causing it, I've played around with the settings and managed to export it a few times but not at the quality I want. If i render my entire sequence preview's first, and then export using preview files then it exports fine using MPEG Preview. Not exactly the format/quality I want though, if there is anything i have missed out then please ask, I do intend to check the boxes for Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality
P.S. I have already tried
A) Clear Media Cache
B) Reinstall Premiere/Media Encoder
C) Change Location of Project Files
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay Singh,
Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
Please try to check the resolution on the PSDs in the Project. and Make sure that the resolution should not exceed more than 1920*1080. This is could be the issue on crash on export.
Let us know if this will help.
Happy Editing,
Sandeep

What Adobe products do you have installed? Production Premium or ?
What you did puts the file into the ame queue, but does not actually export it.

I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer. I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
We use adobe premiere pro 4. We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels. When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us. When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel. Also useless.
When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down.
this is the problem. Each of our 4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue. When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language.
Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels? How do you do it?
Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

Hi Steve,
Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
Thanks

Media Pending with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

First of all guys, I know this is not a brand new issue but please help me out as am providing details. Thank you.
I have JVC Everio jvc everio gz-hd5 60GB camcorder. As you probably know that it records file into .TOD format, I converted them into .MPG format. This is how I am importing to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 before it's showing me golden little screen displaying PENDING MEDIA forever.
1. Import -> new project
2. Capture format -> HDV
3. Available Preset -> HDV108030p
Operating system detail
Microsoft XP Pro Version 2002 Service pack 3
2.19 GHZ, 1.99GB RAM, Intel core 2 duo CPU
p.s - I read some forums but the way they explained is too confusing.

I dont think I have enough info about your computers and hard drives and so on to tell if you can really edit HD stuff , but at this point you should really convert the TOD file first anyway. I don't think just renaming the extension will make it work OK, but I found some info on the internet that might help you convert to a more editor friendly format...
Standard definition video is stored in MPEG program stream container files with MOD extension; in most other systems these files have extension MPG or MPEG. High definition video is stored in MPEG transport stream container files with TOD extension; in most other systems these files have M2T extension.[2] Transport stream files can be converted into more common program stream files without recompressing the video itself. For example, FFmpeg, a free software program, performs the conversion on Windows and Linux systems with the following command: ffmpeg -i myclip.TOD -acodec copy -vcodec copy myclip.mpg. Software, included with TOD camcorders, performs this conversion as part of capture process. A similar command is used for MOD files: ffmpeg -i myClip.MOD -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ab 384k myClip.mpg -acodec mp2 -ab 192k -newaudio.
You Gspot screenshot is good, and it shows that it doesn't recognize anything about the codec and codec name..the right side of the GSpot is usually full of information about the video file...like the frame size, FPS , aspect ratio, and so on. As you can see from the above paragraph you would probably benefit from converting the TOD file using FFmpeg or some other program like streamclip ( also free program )
That's your first step I think...
You will have to know what your video file is...from the camera manual you can find out the frame size and fps used, whether it is progressive or interlaced, etc... The reason you will need to know about your video file is because when you open the TOD file in a program like streamclip to convert it, you will want to convert it to basically the same specs, but with as a different "codec" and file type....but keep the same video characteristics as the original.

Avid Media Composer exchange with Adobe Premiere Pro

As many of you know, the features to exchange data between Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer have some limitations.
The chapter from An Editor's Guide to Adobe Premiere Pro is the best resource that I've seen on this topic. (I may be biased on that matter.) I asked Peachpit Press to make this chapter available as a free download. It's linked to from this post.
I hope that this helps, if only to make it clear where the boundaries are.

Thanks Todd. I've experienced these limitations lately so I appreciate your post. I would urge Adobe to strengthen this compatibility.
