After Effects & Adobe Media Encoder Rendering Issue

Hi,
First of all,  just to give a background, I am running Windows 8 and Adobe After Effects CC. We had purchased the computer 2 weeks ago and I was working on a video and everything was fine in After Effects. I then went to render it using Adobe Media Encoder to get the H.264 file type that AE CC doesn't have anymore. AME rendered the first time but I had to make more changes. I went to render it a second time and AME crashed and my computer blue screened. Now when I go to Add compsition to media encoder the program shows the splash screen but then it crashes every time. So after some research I found that there were output settings that you can check to allow AE to render H.264. I rendered my video the first time and it worked fine. I had some mismatched audio so I had to make some changes to it again. I went to render it a second time this morning and I got an error message that said " After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing file...unable to delete existing file." This also crashed and blue screened my computer, now it won't let me render at all in either program. Are there any fixes to this problem?
Thank You!
Frank

Did you re-boot? Did you try re-booting in safe mode? Did you add anything to your computer or run any updates between the first render and the time this problem started?
Did you try creating a new comp, adding a single solid, and then rendering? If that works tell us about your source files including type and compression.
If that fails then  make sure that you have run all the updates. Then, make sure you have not installed any 3rd party codec packs. Then, dig up the error log and look for anything you can find that starts with "unable" or "crash" and that may give you a hint.

  • Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export.

    Dear All,
    Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export movies.
    Some times they will, but after one file both programs give me the following error messages.
    After effects:
    “[file path and name].mov. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
    AME:
    "Can't read from source."
    I've went through the forum and found threads & pages discussing the problem.
    E.g.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252092
    After following all the tips and suggestions (from deinstalling quicktime components & audio components to completely reinstalling CC) I'm still experiencing the problems.
    Which leaves me in a bit of a squeeze. I need to export over 144 movies in the coming 2 days and the only way to do this is to quit and open media encoder (or AE) after each single export.
    Not really an option.
    Both problems have the process Adobe QT sever in common, I took this from the console:

    I don't no why Adobe puts out such a buggy piece of software (I know it has to with Apple's poor 32bit quicktime implimentation, but hey, this was known information no?).
    Upgrading to CC has given our office nothing but problems.
    Hope someone can help to find a work around until Adobe realeases a proper update and solves this problem once and for all.
    All help is much appreciated.

    Hello Tim,
    Thanks for the really quick response!
    Regarding the crash log: it doesn't reference com.apple.audio.CoreAudio (though it did before, so I followed all the steps in your blog post before I posted to this forum).
    I've uploaded the crashlog to:
    http://martijnlambada.com/TMP/AdobeQT32servercrash.zip
    If you want to inspect it. It mentions the DXV codec (which I also uninstalled), but the crash keeps occuring. Also I need to export to DXV since it's the only codec the d3 media
    server accepts (http://d3technologies.com).
    I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting steps.
    Codecs used: I've tried everything from animation to Apple ProRes (including: h264/motion jpeg/uncompressed). With all codecs the Adobe QT32 server keeps crashing (though I can't always reproduce).
    Export destination: Internal SSD (same as where the OS is installed on) + External raid (via firewire & thunderbolt) + external HD via usb 3.0 (tried everything).
    When does the problem start: Really hard to specify, sometimes a day without crashes, sometimes every export for days on end. Sometime after restarting (tried logging out, restarting, switching off and on the computer). With other programs running and with out. Now checking every process active when exporting, and comparing log files.
    Can you export to other formats: See question 1, sometimes I can, sometimes not.
    When you launch AE and/or AME, is QT32 Server running? At what point does it stop running?  Still runing when I open the program. It crashes when exporting (ofter after finishing the first export).
    What component files are in your Library/QuickTime folder?: Currently the folowing:
    AppleAVCIntraCodec
    AppleHDVCodec.component
    AppleIntermediateCodec.component
    AppleMPEG2Codec.component
    AppleProResCodec.component
    DesktopVideoOut.component

  • After Effects + Adobe Media Encoder + Flash = Most Random File Sizes Ever

    Asking this question in this AE forum because I think more would have knowledge on the topic here than the Flash Forum. 
    I've heard that video compression is more of an art than a science...  Could someone provide me some insight on the following?
    -Created a 12 second, 30 FPS, 300x250 banner animation inside of After Effects
    -Exported for FLV/Flash to be placed inside of a 300x250 .FLA
    -Comps rendered directly from Adobe Media Encoder standalone instead of Render Queue in AE (for 2 pass .FLV's, and heard from various that .FLV's from render queue are not the prettiest at times). 
    I've always been under the impression that I would get smaller file sizes with SWF's externally linking to an FLV.  If I do it this way, I end up with: 
    41 KB .SWF  + 668 KB .FLV = 709 KB
    However, if I EMBED the same 668 KB .FLV to the FLA's timeline (not using the flvPlayback component) I end up with a 381 KB file size!
    I am just confused on the logic here, could someone explain the reasons for this?  I always thought my file size would be bigger if it was embedded to the timeline. 

    Actually I think it's the tons of extra AS code that make linked players fatter. Never could make sense of the why and how myself, but you can find enough alternate free players/ skins (nonverblaster for instance, which I use) that are a lot leaner.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Rendering Issues

    Ok so I am using Adobe Media Encoder version 7.2.2.29. I have been having issues with encoder for awhile now. When I go to queue my videos the encoder doesn't render the file correctly either it be like the example below where a simple imported logo into premiere looks completely different or updates I make to a AE dynamic link... These AE dynamic links update in Premiere but when rendered in the encoder it doesn't update. So I have been having to export in Premiere for each video which is wasting a lot of time.
    When exporting I am using different presets to see if that would fix the problem first a Youtube 1080p 23fps preset then a Vimeo preset still same problems. 
    What is going on how can I fix this.
    Thank you,
    Logan

    A higher quality queue doesn't work... match source hit bitrate, pro rez nothing seems to work. Also using a higher quality export doesn't fix the issue of why Adobe dynamic links aren't updating in the encoder...
    Direct export from premiere works but like I said above it is a huge waste of time. I pump out multiple videos a day with multiple re-edits so I need to work while exporting. So while it works it is not a solution that will work for my situation.
    Thank you,
    Logan

  • Adobe Media Encoder renders in Lossless, such as After Effects?

    Adobe Media Encoder renders Lossless like After Effects too?

    There are multiple codecs that can losslessly encode video. One example is the PNG video codec in a QuickTime container. Another example (which matches the After Effects output module named Lossless) is the Animation video codec in a QuickTime container.

  • Error when exporting from After Effects into Media Encoder

    Hi there. I am using After Effects CC and am trying to export>add to Adobe Media Encoder CC. Upon doing so, instead of the file being placed into Media Encoder CC, I get an error message
    I just updated to most recent update of After Effects via the Cloud today but no difference. Instead, After Effects just creates a folder on my system to house a duplicate composition file with "tmpAEtoAMEProject" at the beginning of file name. I can use the render queue out of After Effects just fine.
    Can someone give me a solution to how I can export out to Media Encoder CC? Probably something simple I am just missing. I don't know much/can't find much about how to know if Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed. Oh, and I have also tried to just drag the files into Adobe Media Encoder too but I still get this warning. If it helps, I am on an imac OSX 10.8.5. Thanks!

    Hey there. Yes, I have uninstalled AE, restarted, and reinstalled. Still get the same error shown in screenshot in my original question posted.

  • Adobe Media Encoder FLV issue

    I am posting this question here because there is no Adobe Media Encoder forum - sorry! My question is about file sizes. I created some videos in Premiere CS4. I need to convert the videos to FLV formats (they are to be used in an e-learning module that requires FLV files). However, I'm having trouble with the file sizes. At the rate it's going, I will max out our server space in no time.
    To give an example, I have a 17 second video with an original frame size of around 720 x 480. When exported as a MOV file (high quality, etc.) it's about 66MB. I've tried creating the FLV straight from the Premiere project file, as well as separately, by running the MOV through Adobe Media Encoder and the results are just about the same. In either case, I can't get the file size anywhere below 1.8MB, which seems rather large for a web compressed 17 second video. The file size DOES NOT get smaller when rendering at the smaller frame size of about 300 x 220. Back when I used to use Sorenson Squeeze for web compression, changing the frame size like that would usually cut the video file size in half. Media Encoder leaves the file size the same...
    I hadn't worked with video in a little while, so Adobe Media Encoder is new to me... but I asked my husband about this. He's a web developer and deals with video a lot. He said that he would take a MOV file, drop it into Flash Video Encoder and use the preset for FLV and it works great - a video that's this long should only be about a few hundred k in size (it's not a complicated/lots of transition video). Apparently Adobe Media Encoder has replaced Flash Video Encoder, so I don't have the option of trying it the other way... has anyone else run into this, and if so, do you have any tips?
    Thanks so much!

    I'm having a similiar issue, my file orginally is only 10sec long and 13mb *.mpg file, the same as it was when I was converting in CS4, only back then, the convertion took maybe a minute and the output file size was about 1mb or smaller, and that was keeping the 640x480 size and removing audio.  Now with CS5, the estimated output size is anywhere from 2000-3000mb for starts, remove audio and scale back other settings and I can get it down to 70mb and takes a staggering 2.5hrs to complete...for a 10sec video.  I don't know what they changed between cs4 and 5 but they screwed up big time, this is a joke.  i'm on AME ver.  5.5.1.12(64-bit) if that makes any difference.  any idea or help would be greatly appreciated, I've got about 5 of these 10sec vids to convert a month and I need to get this fixed.

  • Adobe Media Encoder, rendering wrong videoparts from waitinglist

    Hi guys,
    I have a small, but pretty anoying problem.
    So I'm a normal hobby like Youtuber,
    rendering a few video series I created over night.
    So I cut und edit them in Adobe Premiere and then I press ctrl + m select 720p and put them on the waitinglist in AME.
    Because I can render them all over night like this, or I can render, while still editing other videos.
    I usually but all my video parts in one sequence in Premiere, and then cut then like in 15-20minute parts, using the In and Out markers(and then select Sequence In/Out in Rendersettings)
    But the problem I have using this method is,
    lets say I have 10 videos on the waitinglist of AME, it renders like 3x Part 2, and then part 4,5,6 and maybe 2x part 8 and so on.
    So instead of rendering them all like I marked them to, I get a few of the parts duplicated.
    And its not a problem of me marking them wrong, because its in every rendering que I do.
    And its alsways random which parts get duplicated, but i can be sure there will be a wrong part in every rendering que.
    So the only thing I can do right now is either rendering them all one by one directly in Premiere.
    Or selecting the false ones again and putting them back onto the waitinglist.
    But its so anoying.
    Especially the first time I havent´t checked them, so I uploaded them right away, and saw oops sth. went wrong.
    Does anyone have any solution to this?
    I´m using CS6
    Thanks for your help.

    When I say render, I'm referring to rendering inside of Adobe Media Encoder - unless there is something I don't know when it comes to the setting you're referring to.
    Also, yes, it has an animated logo - which I use on the other machine too, same exact animation.
    As I was writing this response, I just disabled the logo animation - it renders in 4 minutes. However, I need this animation - I'm wondering what to do. It has a 4Kx2K png animated using the basic 3D effect and HLS effect - though, this doesn't delay rendering on my other computer!??
    Hmm, thought of a fix though, I’ll render out my logo animation with a transparent channel, this way I just drag the scaled down animation on top of my videos, should improve the render time.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Issue

    I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and when I go to File → Export → Media and put in my settings Adobe Media Encoder CS4 sends a Error Message...
    The procedure entry point
    ??0NewHandlerInitializer@ErrorManager@config@dvacore@@QAE@X
    Z could not be located in the dynamic link library dvacore.dll.
    Thats the Error Message and I tried MP4, Quicktime, H.264, and FLV / FL4 and NONE of them work!
    So I got the updates and reinstalled it and tried it again but it still broke!
    I NEED A SOLUTION!

    Hi,
    Did the update through the Adobe Media Encoder menu item succeed? If not, could you run the "Adobe Updater" program explicitly. The path is "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater6\Adobe_Updater.exe". This should search for all available updates and show a dialog box in the end. Click on 'Show Details' in the left bottom of the dialog to bring up another dialog with the list of available updates. Do you see any "Adobe Media Encoder" updates in the list? If yes, could you select those checkboxes and install updates for Adobe Media Encoder? Let me know if you see different behavior on your system.

  • Premiere, After Effects, Speedgrade, Media Encoder and... the dynamic link

    My feeback after working with the dynamic link these days. Basic project. Editing, color correction, animated titles.
    I'm using a 3.5Ghz iMac 24GB Ram and a GTX 780 4GB. (2014 versions & last updates).
    Rendering the timeline in Premiere is sometimes extremly slow (with AE comps). Need to quit and reload the project to get a good speed.
    Too long delay of refresh for the AE compositions inside Premiere (with the dynamic link). Need to go in AE then back to Premiere to get the refresh.
    When i export to media encoder i need sometimes to save then send it 2 or 3 times to get the last edits in the export.
    Even worse with the AE compositions. If i change something in AE then export from Premiere i need to quit and reload Media Encoder to get the last changes.
    Really fast export from Premiere to Speedgrade and from Speedgrade to Premiere.
    But !!! Lumetri fx is not compatible with AE.  And Speedgrade doesn't support BlackMagic but only this nVidia Sdi thing.
    And why we could not export h264 from AE anymore ???
    Quiet disappointing :-(

    Using Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 (build 21) and Media Encoder 2014.0.1 (build 8.0.1.48) on OS X 10.8.5
    If I Export a video from Premiere, I can continue using Premiere, but if I Queue an export, returning to Premiere produces the beach ball of death. If I give it time, the beach ball goes away and the arrow returns, but trying to click anywhere in Premiere simply returns the beach ball. There is nothing to be done but Force Quit Premiere. I can leave Premiere and run any other application, but if I leave to execute the Media Encoder queue, I cannot return to Premiere and use Premiere. I can visit Media Encoder (call it to the foreground) and return to Premiere after the queue is done.
    My current workaround is to use Export from Premiere and not use Queue from Premiere.

  • Adobe Media Encoder - compression issues (.flv) cs6 vs earlier versions

    Hi all, I hope somebody can help.
    This morning I encoded from a 1080p QuickTime .mov file to a 360p .FLV file.
    I have previously used this work-flow with CS4 and CS5.5 and have had great results.
    When I attempted the same thing this morning, for the first time with CS6 Media Encoder, the .FLVs came out glitchy in places (screen shots 1 & 2 attached).
    Thinking it was a process error, I tried several different methods and all yielded the same results.
    So I returned to CS4, thinking it might be a software issue, and "hey presto" no glitches!
    All updates are present and correct from the Creative Cloud/ Adobe Application Manager, so am I missing something?
    Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Lots more encoding to be done this afternoon and would like to use CS6 ME if at all possible.
    Any help would be massively appreciated.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Quality Issues  for 4:3 FLV Files

    I am working in a 480x360 window for a FLV file. Whether I export a 60 minute presentation or a 10 second pre-roll FLV file, the rendered file quality is distorted and poor. I have done the same work in CS3, but as I changed computers, the CS4 was installed.
    With the video presentation, orginally capturing the video is set as .9 Pixel Aspect Ration, but interpreting the footage to 1.0 is also an issue.
    The quality of video that is being produced is much worse then CS3 and unuseable in most cases.
    Frame Dimensions: 480x360
    Frame Rate: Same as source. (29.97)
    Endoding: CBR
    Passes: 2
    Bitrate: 500
    Audio: Mono / 48

    A couple things:
    1) VP6 and H.264 are codecs that operate in "mod16". What that means is that they begin by dividing a video image into 16x16 blocks, followed by 8x8, 8x4, and 4x4 blocks. This makes for a more efficient encode. Your 240 dimension is fine (240 / 16 = 15), but the 515 dimension could be slightly problematic (515 / 16 = 32.1875). The codec will stretch or compress the image to fit into that dimension, and so can result in a lower quality encode. If you can, try encoding at 512x240, by cropping a couple pixels in the horizontal dimension. May not make a big difference, but it's good practice with these codecs.
    2) To me, your original encode looks like the product of Adobe's less-that-capable deinterlacing scheme. You're dealing with progressive assets and a progressive target. I'd submit that the reason your 1280x720 encode looks better is that you're using a progressive preset, with no deinterlacing necessary when exporting. One thing you could check is the field order of your original sequence setup--if it's interlaced, I'd say you have your answer. If it's progressive--well, then I'm wrong :) However, you didn't explicitly say this in your original post, but it's worth a look.
    If it is interlaced, I don't think you can change that after the sequence is started, so just create a new sequence with the proper progressive settings, and copy and paste the original sequence contents into that one. Now, when you export, there will be no need for deinterlacing.
    Anyway, that's my guess...

  • Setting datarate in Adobe Media Encoder CC

    Hi there. I am working on a Mac OSX, using After Effects CC, Media Encoder CC. I am creating 1-minute animations in After Effects timed to vocals. These animations are entirely imported mini animations put together by layers in Illustrator and imported into After Effects where they are timed to the vocals using quite a bit of Enable Time Remapping. These videos are 15 frames/sec. The pixel area is 460 x 530.
    The client for these animations has requested a datarate of 200 kbps. In Media Encoder, I have the target bitrate set to .2 mbps. When I check Movie Inspector in Quicktime, the datarate is anywhere between 300 and 500.
    My question is where can I set the datarate in Media Encoder? Does the target bitrate take care of this? If so, how do I achieve a datarate of 200 when Media Encoder does not allow a lower target bitrate of .19?
    I have included a screenshot below of settings in Media Encoder:
    Thanks for your help!

    Profile & Level also affect overall bitrate and it looks like you have yours set at the highest setting: Profile: High & Level: 5.1
    Try turning on Match Source for these two properties.  At a frame size of 460x530 you'll probably get Profile: Main & Level: 3.1
    The lowest manual setting I can set for a frame size of 460x530 is Profile: Baseline & Level: 3.0
