Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

Hi.
I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character. Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps. I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project. (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context. It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps? I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
Thanks

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels). I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio. i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think). But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
Thanks

Turning off frame blending in Adobe Media Encoder

Is there a way to turn off frame blending in Adobe Media Encoder? I have a bunch of
Flip Mino HD footage (1280x720p) which I wish to convert to P2 720p format so that
I can more easily mix and match it in the Premiere timeline with actual P2 footage
shot on an HVX200.
I successfully used Media Encoder to perform this task but there is one problem. The
Flip footage is 30fps and P2 720p is 29.97fps. So Media Encoder uses frame blending.
The frame blending sometimes creates obnoxious artifacts so I would like to turn it
off but there seems to be no way to do this (or alternatively "conform" the 30fps input
to 29.97fps so that no blending is nescessary).
After Effects CS4 would seem like an alternative since it has nice batch composition
creation and rendering features but it cannot render to the P2 format - it appears to
have a older version of Media Encoder embedded within it - predating P2 support.
I would like a solution that is easily "batchable" as I have several hunderd Flip Mino HD
clips that need to be processed.
You might also ask, why not just import the Flip clips unchanged into Premiere CS4
and mix them with the P2 clips?....I have tried this and it seems to drive Premiere crazy
introducing various crashes and other strange behaviors. The pre conversion to P2
route seems to work fine. I just want to get rid of the frame blending.

I happened upon this video just before I made my posting and it doesn't help with the
crashes/hangs. When I import more than about 20 Flip Mino HD clips it seems to trigger
some sort of memory corruption bug in Premiere. Some of the clips start to just
show as solid green in their thumbnail views in the timeline and scrubbing the timeline
eventually hangs Premiere altogether. This is reproducible on two different computers
although the exact symptoms change slightly each time it is tried. Importing only 3 or 4
clips actually seems to work, at least for a short while.
The problems happen even if the only thing imported into the project are Mino footage and
the Sequence is set to Desktop or XDCAM mode. So the crashes have nothing to do
with P2 editing mode.
The same installation of Premiere CS4 on one of these computers has been just used to
successfully edit and render out a P2 project with hundreds of clips, stills and titles so the
basic CS4 installation seems to be solid.
I'll eventually file a bug report but for now I'm more interested in getting the job done.

Computer freezes when exporting with Adobe Media Encoder

Problems to Export to Adobe Media Encoder!

Hi, I´ve a problem to export to Adobe Media Encoder!
When in Premiere Pro CS4, I click in Files - Export - Media.. it shows a display saying: "An Adobe Media Encoder update s available for this version of Premiere Pro.."
But I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4 to 4.21 and Media Encoder to 420! Both are installed!
And the display message s showed yet! So I cant send the project into Media Encoder by click, just if i open Media Encoder..
How do I solve this?
Because before I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4, I´didnt have this boring message..
Thanks for your help!
Gustavo

Gustavo,
Though you have updated, it appears that the updater still thinks that you have not.
The first thing that I would do is follow the suggestion in the message. An alternative would be to close PrPro, and open Bridge, then choose Help>Update from there. Not sure why updating from Bridge seems to do things better, but it does for many.
This should do one of two things: actually do the update (maybe it only was applied partially? and clear the updater notification. I have had similar with Acrobat Pro, where it took three attempts to get the update to both complete and then to clear the notification messages.
Now, when I go to update from Adobe, I first shut off my AV, pop-up blockers and spysweeper programs. I trust Adobe.com, so do not want anything getting in the way. One more thing to do, prior to updating is to make sure that you have the very latest Adobe Flash Player installed. More and more, Adobe's installers rely on Flash Player.
That is all that I can think of now, other than Good Luck!

Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder.

So initially, my problem was solved, but it stopped working again. Same issue. I tried installing the media encoder app, but no luck please help!
Here's the original post:
Hello, I'm running a macbook pro retina, and previously I was able to render video with no issue, and now this is popping up. I've tried deleting and reinstalling photoshop, but it was not helpful. I would very much appreciate any help or guidance. Thanks!

Just how hard it is to export using Adobe Media Encoder ?

For those who have CS4 already, just how difficult is it to export
to Adobe Media Encoder ?
Right now it's very simple, you make up your work area for example, and export.
So with CS4, I must do what exactly to do this ?
Do I have to save the project with the work area selected, exit, now open Adobe Media Encoder and now select "open project" and now load this up and then export ?
Please tell me it ain't so.
I'd like to hear the steps to do this. I have to be honest, what once was an exciting time, has turned into a disappointing time now, reading all the things Adobe had changed ( for no good reason ). I just don't understand sometimes why they do things. I think they should get more input from poeple that use their products on a daily basis, so they know what they should touch, and what not to touch.
I'm actually not looking forward to upgrading now, even though I will, because of a few things that look good in the new version.
Dave.

It ain't so.
The workflow remains pretty much the same until you finally click the OK button. At that point the AME will open up and you can choose to start the queue immediately or switch back to PPro and do several more exports before starting the queue.
Read all about exporting
from the horse's mouth. ;)
You will also find several
CS4 tutorials that will show you how it's done.

Audio and video out of synch on export

Hi,
I've searched the forum for this. I have a movie in FCE 4 in which the audio and video are in synch in the time line. The audio was recorded into Logic at 96, noodled, passed into FCE at 48 and then had to be lined up with the video. Then when I go to export, the resulting QT movie is out of synch, the audio now about one second before the video. I'm using QT conversion. My compresson is H.264, quality best, frame rate 30, multi-pass, 640 x 480, format AAC or linear PCM, various sample rates, stereo and mono etc. I've tried various other settings for export, but the problem remains.
What am I doing wrong? Many thanks for any help,
Ray

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think you're on the right track. I want the best sound possible, so I record into Logic, knowing I'm going into FCE I record at 96 so an even multiple down to 48. I think a .wav file though, and maybe that's the problem. Into FCE, but other audio there as well from the camera mic, and which I occasionally include in the sound track for ambience. All of this noodled a fair amount and then exported, the intent being to end up in 44, as it will be uploaded to youtube. I switch to 16 bit out of Logic, but the aiff vs wav may be the problem. Do think there might be a better way to do this?

Audio and video out of sync after exporting sequence

I'm a FCP user since years, but not so common with HD footage. Therefore I have an issue with my finished edited movie after exporting: Video and Audio are out of sync.
My sequence settings are: HDV1080i50, 25fps, 48kHz, 16bit, Stereo. I used File-> Export-> Quicktime Movie -> Current Settings
Sequence has a duration of 61 minutes and 38 sec. I tried to find out where's the problem and exported audio and video seperated. This results in:
Video is 61 minutes and 27 sec long
Audio is 61 minutes and 38 sec long
That means exported video is shorter than original sequence.
What could that be ?

I had the same problem with a Panasonic camera, even filming at 30 fps. I was able to fix it; see [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1783029&tstart=0]. It's a frustating problem, to be sure. You might have to use Easy Setup a couple times before you get things to work properly. Not sure why that's the case.
Good luck!

Audio and video do not sync when exporting

the audio and video content do not sync when exporting to media browser or quicktime.. at times the audio is delayed, or ahead of the video

Wow, I was just about to post something similar. I've tried 4 different times, wasted a few dvds, and tried various ways of outputting to solve this...nothing. Here's my situation;
• I have a series of stills, with music underneath...kind of like a slide show.
• That ends, both music and visual, and I go to a black screen/slug that is :22, to give some breathing room before the video that follows. Also, the audio track fades out at the end of the stills...it does not continue into the slug.
• After the :22 of black, I fade into a video. HOWEVER, everytime I've done that, the AUDIO portion of that video is starting while there's still black on screen, then when the video comes in, it's way behind.
I've adjust the audio to now end before the slug, thinking that was somehow making iMovie go wonky. Didn't work. I've wasted a few dvds before I got smart and started checking before burning. And still, everytime, that section is not syncing, but, i syncs in iMovie, where I made the video.
This is HUGELY frustrating.

Audio and video not in sync when exporting to Quicktime file

I use a digital camera to shoot video, which is in .avi format. I then import the clips into IMovie HD (selecting all the clips and dragging all at the same time into IMovie). If I play the video from beginning to end in IMovie, the audio and video line up fine. But, when I 'share' to Quicktime file, the longer the video is, the more out-of-sync the audio and video become.
I didn't have this problem when I used a mini-DV cam and imported using a firewire cable (in real time).
Any ideas as to how to get the audio to sync up with the video once it's shared as a Quicktime file? I've tried .mp4 and .mov, and I have the same problem.

Anything here help?

Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 loses sound.

So... I've been having a hell of a time with the new Adobe creative cloud when it comes to video editing. The drop of .flv format, unable to straight export .H24 formats from after effects, it's a total nightmare. Here's the issue, to export as a .H24, you now have to use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014. The biggest issue, however, is at the end of the export, when you open the video, half of the video's sound is mysteriously GONE. Just gone. If you go back to after effects, look at the file and the audio, the wave forms are there. There's nothing that would make it lose sound. Audio is selected on export... I have no idea what's up. Editing videos for youtube was a snap in previous versions of After Effects, now It's becoming almost impossible.

thanks nobody because nobody helped me solve this delima
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?

Exporting in Adobe Media Encoder fails in CS4 after CS3 is removed.

There's an issue with Adobe Media Encoder in CS4 where encoding will fail after CS3 is uninstalled.
If you never had CS3 installed on your machine - no problem.
If you never had CS3 and CS4 installed at the same time - no problem.
If you had CS3 and CS4 installed concurrently, then uninstalled CS3 - Houston, you have a problem.
You will need to uninstall CS4 and then reinstall CS4.
The error message is:
Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
One more thing I forgot to mention, this is a Win-only issue.

>Does anyone understand this?
Simple:
1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
2. Open a
second Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "Premiere.exe"
3. Arrange the windows side by side.
4. Right-click on "Premiere.exe" and drag to the first explorer window, targeting between the files so as to avoid any specific file.
5. Release the right-hand mouse button.
6. Select "create shortcut here" from the pop-up menu.

Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder

Hello,
I am trying to read up more about the AME and am not finding what I need. Can anyone tell me, is it necessary to render my video sequence before exporting media? Some tutorials I've watched appear to not have done so. Was wondering if rendering first was only necessary for exporting to tape. Same question applies to sending to Encore via dynamic link. Finally, I use the Sony HDR-CX100 camcorder which my Premiere does not recognize - any solution? It would be great to be able to export to tape using it.
Thanks,
Don
Also - I have been experiencing a great deal of system crashes using AME and missed a very beg deadline last Thurs. Was so frustrating - love Premiere but... have not figured out why. I use WinVISTA, 3.2 Ghz processors - quad core, 8 GB RAM, NIVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT video card, SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio and also Realtek High Definition Audio.
Finally, I've read that most of the project setting can not be changed once created, rather than scratch disks. Is there a way to do so via the project manager?
Thanks,
Don

NW, keep in mind you want to COPY the video files from the camera before working on them. If you import directly from the camera, Premiere will only know their location to be on the camera. Then, when you disconnet the camera or delete files to make room, your project will break.
When you say learning After Effects, do you mean the app, from scratch? or are you competent in AE and you just want to brush up on the DL side of things (only worth attempting if you have a grunty machine. DL on anything less is hair-tearing).
If the former, you could get one of the many, many books on the subject (I think I have After Effects Apprentice), or if you'd prefer, do some online training. One that I have used and would happily reccomend is Lynda.com . Basically you pay a monthly fee and you watch whichever videos you like, right across the range. The videos are very professional and thorough. But when it comes to AE, be ready for a learning curve of the near-vertical variety.
