AME hangs at "Reading XMP Data" and won't start encoding

System:
Mac OSX 10.8.5
2 x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
64 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Premiere 7.2.1 (4)
AME 7.2.0.43
I've created short videos, usually 4 to 12 minutes in length. Edited from Sony XDCAM EX video at 720p60.
I export 5 of these videos to AME using the h.264 codec to try to create mp4 files and cueue them in AME.
Once they are in the Queue of AME, I hit start. AME shows the progress at the bottom and says it is Reading XMP data, but it
then never progresses to the encoding process. I just keep seeing that yellow and grey barber pole progress bar moving, but nothing
ever happens.
I've used this process for months with no problems and now it won't work. My coworkers and I have the same setup and we are each
haveing nothing but problems ever since Premiere and AME went past 7.0.
I saw it mentioned in another question to uncheck "Enable native Premiere Pro sequence import". I tried that yesterday and it worked.
Today it does not.
Please help, this is getting rediculous the amount of problems we are suddenly having with Adobe products and a maxed out Mac machine.

After poking around the internets and reading this thread and others, I did the following. I am not sure WHICH of these steps lead to it working, so I will list all.
- Deleted all contents of "media cache" and "media cache files" directories. I tried hitting the "clean" button (in PPro prefs), but after waiting 5 minutes and the progress bar only getting to like 10%, I just hit "cancel" and deleted the files myself, brute force. Took all of 45 seconds. Then, for good measure, I hit the "clean" button again, and it finished in seconds. I did this for both PPro and AME, and both had identical media settings.
- Restarted AME and trashed prefs (holding "shift" while booting). Because of hitting this error before, I already had "Enable Native PPro import" checkmark ticked. When I trashed prefs, if went back on. For fun, I left it on.
- Searched project drive with my media on it for all ".CFA" files on it (because my media settings generates them next to source media when possible). I deleted.
- Restarted computer.
- Opened Premiere. Opened project. Let it reconnect all media and re-generate all CFA files. When everything was silent (took about 30 mins) I exported to Queue. Before I had experimented with using audio render files. I left that box off this time.
- Used the "metadata" settings in the export queue to NOT have it transfer ANY metadata from the project to the rendered file.
- Queue took a long time to get started, but eventually it worked.
It should be noted that I am dealing with a large project (5,000 RED clips, 10,000 audio files) where almost every clip is a merged clip. There's maybe 10 tracks of audio in every timeline and the final thing was an assembly sequence made up of 10 nested sequences. So... not simple.
My gut is that this is a problem with the audio. I don't know why, but I think it is. My next try was going to be just exporting video, no audio, and then running audio through ProTools via a OMF.

Convert XMP Date and Time

Hi, in my script I am trying to read the Date and Time using the XMP functions of a selected file in bridge. Then, I want to convert that date and time into a format that looks like: "01/12/10 | 01:23 PM" and write that to another metadata field like the description. Im stuck on trying to convert the date and time into what I want it to look like? Can anyone help, thanks!
Here is the part of the code I'm having trouble with:
When I read the dateTimeOriginal property of the file, it is in an unfriendly format. It looks odd and shows the time zone. The commented lines is code that I have tried, but didn't work. I was trying to convert the XMPDateTime object into a Date object so I can adjust the format, but I haven't been successful.
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
      var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
      var Name = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "DateTimeOriginal");
      var date = new XMPDateTime(new Date(Name));
      var date2 = new Date(date);
      //dateFormat.masks.portfolioDate = 'mm/dd/yy "|" hh:MM TT';
//date.format("portfolioDate");
//date2.format("mm/dd/yy");
alert(date2.toString());
Name.convertToLocalTime();
Name.toString();
alert(Name);

Thanks for helping me out Paul. I just have one more small problem. I am trying to access the Headline XMP property, and I know i need to use the IPTC Core property, but it doesn't seem to work. Here is my current code, can you help me out?
var selectedFile = thumb.spec;
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
var xmpString = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "DateTimeOriginal").toString();
            alert(xmpString);
var xmpString2 = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_IPTC_CORE, "Headline").toString();
alert(xmpString2);
var dat =xmpString.match(/(\d+).(\d+).(\d+).(\d+).(\d+).(\d+)/);
var amOrPm = "AM";
var hours = Number(dat[4]);
if (hours > 11) amOrPm = "PM";
if (hours > 12) hours = hours - 12;
if (hours > 11) amOrPm = "PM";
if (hours < 10) hours = '0' + hours;
var dateString = dat[2]+"/"+dat[3]+"/"+dat[1].substr (2) +" | "+ hours +':'+dat[5]+ ' ' +amOrPm;

Adobe XMP data and Spry

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of
examples of how to use Adobe's embedded XMP in Spry. I've tried
building an example using some of the code samples on this site,
but they all deal with generic XML.

I am also looking for a metadata modification solution. Check out this: http://www.lodgephoto.com/articles/pshop_scripting.htm. It has javascript reading the XMP data and writes it to a file. I modified the js in order to add the title and author IPTC fields, but am unable to find the correct variable for the keywords. If you have any knoledge of the way to correctly target the keywords, please reply.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Hulting

How to read the date and time information of a file by labview

how to read the date and time information of a file by labview? for example, created time and modified time.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you need to know the last modification date of file:-
"Functions->File I/O->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info.vi"
This vi returns the value of file's last modification date. This is returned as U32 number. To see it in MM/DD/YY format you must create the indicator, right-click on it and select "Format & Precision" item from drop-down menu. Then select "Time and Date" format there.
Thanks as kudos only

most likely. take it to an Apple store or AASP for a correct diagnosis. Expect a large extimate.

My MacBook Pro is crashing and Mac OS stops working sometimes so I have to restart it. And sometimes it stays on the first white-ish screen with the Apple and won't start further. What to do?

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

My ipad has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?

My Ipad 1 has a black screen and won't start, any ideas? It is charged.

If Paul's advice doesn't work try this.
Hold down on the sleep button AND the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
BTW ...In order to start up under normal circumstances you only need to hold down on the sleep button for a couple of seconds or so until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
