AME CS5.5 freezes while encoding

I upgraded my iMac to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) a couple weeks ago. I tried encoding a 30 minute 1080p video to H.264, VBR 1 pass and it freezes midway through the encoding process. It did this a few times and I never had this issue before upgrading the Mac OS. Any reason why I am having this issue?
Thanks!

Try either disabling GPU acceleration in PPRO before exporting to AME or queuing up only one job at a time.
There's a lengthy thread here on the forums about similar issues with AME CS5.5. One big thing to keep in mind is that the hang on AME's side is just a symptom--a result of a problem upstream--and there have been a number of different issues that all resulted in AME hanging while encoding. We fixed several of these issues in CS6, but at least a few known cases remain. So it's worth downloading the trial version of PPRO CS6 to see if your case is fixed.
Also, there are subtle differences in the particulars of the hang, such as whether it hangs in about the same spot with a given sequence--if so, then there's probably something about assets or effects/transitions at that point that is triggering the issue. If AME hangs at different points in a given encode, then it might be a resource issue on your system, such as RAM getting maxed out.

  • AME CS5, Quicktime & H.264 encoding - very poor

    Hi all,
    I seem to be stumped on an encoding issue - whenever I encode .mov files  with the H.264 codec, they always come out looking like, well like a  first generation web video - ie like S$*T.
    My best guess is that the profile is preset to use 'baseline' - if so,  is there a way to change this?  I can't find any options to change to  change the profile, or levels, or anything with regards to H.264 - there  is a "codec settings" button, but that is grayed out.
    Am I just a dummy and missing some key setting in the interface?
    If I go back to CS3 and export with the same settings, I get great looking video - but of course since the project was edited in CS5, I can't go backwards.....
    If I am a dummy, can anyone point me in the direction on how to get good  looking .mov videos out of AME CS5?
    Thanks,
    ~Mike

    whenever I encode .mov files  with the H.264 codec, they always come out looking like, well like a  first generation web video - ie like S$*T.
    I did a quick test of an H.264 MOV earlier today for someone else; check it out here. This is PAL DV to H.264, at about 2Mbps; I think it looks OK. I can get much better from the MainConcept H.264 encoder, or an external encoder, but it's usable.
    My best guess is that the profile is preset to use 'baseline' - if so,  is there a way to change this?  I can't find any options to change to  change the profile, or levels, or anything with regards to H.264 - there  is a "codec settings" button, but that is grayed out.
    According to MediaInfo, the H.264 MOV generated by Premiere is actually using the Main profile; the Level varies based on frame size and where you limit the bitrate. You don't have a lot of options here because, well, I don't think Apple's/QuickTime's implementation of H.264 gives you many options. It's a pretty rotten encoder, at least in comparison to some of the other choices out there.
    If you want more flexibility in creating an H.264 encode, use the H.264 format; it's in the same list as QuickTime. You'll have much more you can choose from and more flexibility when controlling your encode. It still doesn't give you as much control as, say Sorenson Squeeze (MainConcept codec) or x264 (open source H.264 encoder, which gives you even more than MainConcept), but you can get some decent looking encodes. The video will be put in an MP4 container, which will playback in QuickTime.
    Do you need an MOV? If so, check out MPEG Streamclip. I'm assuming you're using Windows, so that's where the link goes; there's a Mac version as well, however. Anyway, MPEG Streamclip is my go-to gadget when I absolutely have to send an H.264 MOV. It's still using Apple's encoder, but it looks better, and you have a little more control. Just spit out an uncompressed file from Premiere (has to be an uncompressed AVI or else any kind of MOV) and encode from Streamclip--works a treat.

  • PE 7 Freezes while encoding AVCHD to Blu-Ray

    As thte title states, I have a movie comprised mostly of AVCHD clips.  It is a pretty big movie, at close to 3 hours, and I am having trouble encoding it to Blu-Ray.  I have tried several things - increasing the RAM allocation to 3 GB, turning off the screensavers and power savers, turning off antivirus scanning, booting into Windows 7 64-bit with nothing but PE7 installed and trying to encode from there, etc. and it freezes up every time.  The last time it got to 93% and froze.  I'm at a loss at what to do next except just maybe wait until a new version of PE comes out.
    I can even downconvert it to a regular DVD DL and it worked fine.  At this point, I'm not sure what to do.  Anyone else having this problem?
    I am mainly using:
    Win XP pro 32-bit
    2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo
    4 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS
    LG GBW-H20L Burner
    Oh, and when it crashes, the RAM usage is only at about 40%, so I'm not running out, and there are no error messages - it just freezes.
    Mark

    Three hours of AVCHD (which is challenging to work with anyway) is probably too much to work with.
    You don't say how much free, defragmented hard drive space you have but, unless it's a hundred or so gigabytes, that too could be a challenge.
    I'd recommend doing a test run with 1 hour, or even half an hour, of video -- just to make sure everything is working.
    But the fact that when you downconvert everything works fine seems to indicate that you've just overwhelmed your system.

    Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
         - I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.

    As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
    note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
    Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
    note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

    Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
    The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
    "Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
    With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
    Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
    And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
    Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • How Much Ram does AME CS5 use for an average HD Encode?

    Hello,
    I know this is a tough question but I would like to learn what factors control or limit the performance of AME CS5.
    I have 12GB of ram in my Windows 7 64bit system but AME CS5 will only use 3 GB when encoding and HD file to say Mpeg-2.
    Is 3GB all it needs?  Would more ram do anything to speed up the encoding?
    I know that encoding is largely a CPU intensive task but after experimenting with RAID 0, I discovered disc read speed makes a large difference in the encoding time. So I would like to know if ram plays any part in encoding time?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.

  • Freeze while installing Photoshop CS 5

    I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to install Photoshop Extended on my MacBook. Things to consider:
    Yes, I have the Java runtime installed
    I've had photoshop in the past, including the trial for CS5. However, I uninstalled them weeks before trying to install the retail copy
    I suspect that it's having trouble writing files. It will often freeze while installing fonts, or when installing the actual application for Photoshop.
    The installer used to quit, but after I cleared a number of system adobe files, it will not quit, and the instalation process will go further. However, between 50% and 80%, the installer will lock up, and my Mac will lock up, forcing me to shut down by holding the power button.
    Has anyone else had similar issues installing photoshop in Mac OS (Specifically Lion)?
    Thanks!

  • AME CS5.5 hangs on "Reading XMP"

    Been having this issue ever since I upgraded to 5.5...
    Finish a video in Premiere, export to AME, click the play/start encode. In the encode status, it gets to "Processing: Reading XMP" and simply hangs there indefinitely (hours). Clicking to stop/pause the encode doesn't actually stop it, only way to do anything is to force-quit AME. Then it won't re-open until a restart. Only way I can export my final video from Premiere is the direct export, which works well enough when it's a single video basis, but when I want to do a batch of exports, or continue editing something else while exporting, this completely puts me at a stand-still.
    Any idea what's with AME just stalling out on me here?

    I would be happy to share them with you.  However, I ran into some problems.  The files we're on an external drive and I had shut down and disconnected the drive.  Even though the computer was OFF when I disconnected, when I reconnected it Windows wanted to scan the drive and like an idiot I said OK.  The project file, and other supporting files are all reporting zero (0) bytes.  The only thing still there is the MXF video files.  Even the exported files I had made one by one are at zero bytes. 
    So I'm in the process of re-creating the project.  I'm starting over from scratch with a different drive for the raw video files.  I'll re-create the sequence, make my edits and I'm going to try to export with AME again.
    So what would you like?  The original MXF files?  Or would you like me to finish re-creating the project and see if I run into the same issues?
    One thing I'm trying different this time is I went into the Media Preferences and I unchecked the two boxes relating to XMP data. I'm seeing if that will make a difference.

  • MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

    Hi there,
    I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
    While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
    By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
    There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
    This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
    System Specs:
        Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
        CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
        RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
        Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
        PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
        New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
        New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
        2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
        1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
        OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
        2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
    Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
        reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
        updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
        updated BIOS to v1.A0
        Reinstalled Windows
        bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
        checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
        cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
        ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
        ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
        ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
        ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
        took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
        tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
        tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
        tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
        checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
        tested without any background programs
        raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
    I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
    Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.
    Regards
    Sebb

    Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
    Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
    As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
    Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
    Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
    I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
    Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

  • Toshiba Satellite C655 SP4168M freezes while playing a game

    So i've been having problems with mi laptop very recently with a game i'm playing (League of legends), the game normally works perfectly, but at random times it just completely freezes (making an awkward sttutering sound) and i have to forcefully shutdown and restart the PC. It doesnt happen ALL the time, but when it happens it's really annoying, and i can either happen once every week, or several times daily. I already repaired the video driver but that didnt help, i was thinking about updating the BIOS; but cant find the correct version for my laptop, and i cant even be sure that's actually the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    try using a program like "Piriform Speccy" (free version), and monitor the CPU temps as you are using the system.  If it gets up into the orange and red while watching videos, you may need to apply fresh thermal paste to the CPU.
    My old L355 is starting to freeze while watching youtube videos the other day, and just confirmed that the CPU is overheating.  Will be tearing it apart hopefully tonight to be cleaned up and have a fresh application of arctic silver on the CPU.

  • Ipod touch, Freezing while syncing.

    everytime i connect my ipod it syncs my music and pictures fine, but when it starts to sync my apps it syncs about 3 apps. Then my ipod freezes while syncing, forcing me to restore my ipod from recovery mode. When i say it freezes, i mean that my ipod has the "Sync In Progress" screen, with the battery in the center, and on the bottom of the screen the "Slide To Cancel Sync" on the slider. normaly the slider is always flashing highlighting a few letters at a time, across the screen, saying "Slide To Cancel" When it freezes the slider stops flashing/scrolling and then a little spinning wheel starts to spin in the center of my ipod, on the battery logo. After about, 30 seconds the wheel stops spinning, my itunes freezes up, and my iPod touch freezes up. as soon as i disconect my frozen ipod, my itunes works again. then my ipod is stuck on the frozen "sync in progress" screen. i then have to do the long recovery/restore. Then i decided change my settings from automatic syncing to selecting what i sync. I synced my music, fine. I synced my Pictures, fine. i then decided to sync one app at a time. I first synced solitaire, fine. Then i synced sextuple, fine. Then i synced Super Monkey Ball, my ipod froze!!! So I thought that mabye thats what was freezing up my ipod. then i had to restore my ipod, again. and start the whole process over again. I synced sextuple, fine. Then i Synced super monkey ball, again, and it synced fine. then i synced solitaire, worked fine. then i synced Cube Runner, My ipod froze again. on a totaly different app. i had to restore from recovery mode again, and i synced my music, pictures, super monkey ball, solitaire, and sextuple. then i decided, i will just keep my ipod away from a computer so it won't happen again. so i have 23 apps, and i only have three on my ipod. i really want to keep trying to fix this, but i don't want to have to do a restore, and then have to resync all of my music/pictures again. I really want to know whats up with my ipod. PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE DO SO. I WILL BE TOTALY GREATFUL. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

    I have been having the same problem too. i was sick and tired of it so the i brought it to an apple store and basically just told me stuff i already know, then 2 days later it started happening again. So i went to the apple store yet again, different guy same nonsense, "let me check your battery" "let me see if you memory has problems" "don't have too many applications running at the same time" on and on.. all that happened is that they restored it and said it should work... well clearly i go home to sync it, everything freezes, i go back they give me a new one... yet here i am 3 days later still having the problems even with a new ipod. i reinstalled itunes like 6 times, restored my ipod 4 times... so basically everyone is having the same problem... i guess we just gotta wait til apple realizes that they have a big problem to fix and does something for us

  • ERROR WHILE ENCODING FILE

    Hi Everyone
    While burning a DVDSP3 disk of about 3.5 gigs, I get this error message: "error while encoding file". This happens about 7 hours into the burn. I have tried it twice. The second time after fixing preferences, etc.
    I am using a G-4 laptop with a Lacie RAID 5 external drive.
    Reading this forum, I see the problem is not unusual. But I never encountered this problem in the past.
    So why is this happening now?
    Also, to fix it the most frequent suggestion is to export from FCP-4 using compressor.
    Does this solve the problem?
    And what preset should I use?
    The compressor help menu has a lot of information but does not specifically tell you what preset to use for a standard DVD-R burned on DVD SP 3.
    The DVD-R, like most DVD's, has to play on any NTSC television or any computer.
    If anyone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it. Because I am stumped.

    On the pane issue, it will be different because you are running an earlier version of Compressor.
    On the A.Pack side of things when you launch the Application you will see tabs where you can set the same things in the image on the website (dialog normalization to -31 etc.) Let me know if you find them, or I can get some screenshots
    On the settings you can try one of the settings that will fit your video. 60 Minutes will be too short, so you need one of the 90 minutes settings (or longer, which knocks down the video bitrate a bit, but may prevent stutters, but for the short term use a 90 minute setting.) The difference between the settings (Good, Fast etc, I do not remember all of the Compressor 1 variations and not in front of a computer right now with it loaded, can look later if you like) if using different types of encoding- VBR, CBR http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_4.php).
    I am pretty sure rates are adjusted based on the lesser time being higher rates, while speed/quality is VBR/CBR. Take a look at the video rates being used, and makee sure the MAX Rate does not exceed 7.4 (or a bit less to be safe)
    You may just want to try the fast setting first to see if it cures the build issue, then move on if you are in the clear. (Or you can try the two pass build for overnight). Make sure you have room on the disc where you are building the encoded file.

  • [SOLVED] flashplugin video freezing while audio is fine

    I saw a post about this on this forum, but I've been searching the forum for about 5 hours now and I can't find it, so I'll post a new topic.
    When I do almost anything with adobe flash (in firefox or chromium) after about five seconds the visual freezes while the audio goes on.  I hesitate to call it "video" because this happens with games and such, not just youtube-type videos.  If I right click on the flash animation/video/whatever you want to call it, it starts working again, but only for a few seconds before the same thing happens again.
    Also, if I make videos fullscreen, it's just a black screen the first time.  I exit fullscreen and do it again and then it works.  Sometimes the video for that freezes, too, but less often.
    I've tried uncommenting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and that doesn't help.  In fact, if I try a fullscreen video with that uncommented, the X server crashes when I try to exit fullscreen.
    I've got an intel video card and I've tried playing with xorg.conf enabling EXA with greedy MigrationHeuristic, UXA, XAA, I've tried turning off tiling.  Nothing works.  And I'm not using compiz or anything like that.  I've tried everything I know.  Anybody have any other suggestions???  (Please...?)

    I'm using flashplugin (ver. 10.2.159.1-2) on a 32-bit system.
    I am on i686 too. Mine is

  • Premiere CC 2014 freezes while editing

    I'm not sure how common this is, but I know others have complained about Premiere CC 2014 crashing their systems. For me, it freezes after editing for a while. During playback the video will freeze while the audio continues. Eventually the entire program will crash.
    Its a shame because there is no way to export this project to Premiere CC, but I can't work this way. Does anyone know a fix for this?
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB DDR3
    Never had any trouble running any other application on my system. My coworkers have the same issue.

  • Often Freezing while Reading Disk

    My WD My Passport Pro 2 TB keeps on freezing while reading the files from the Hard Disk including while copying files out from the disk. The copy process will freeze, disk shut down, and OS notify that disk has been ejected. This freezing happens after plugging in the hard disk to the 8TB WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo thunderbolt port.
