AVI / M4V Editing & Exporting Problems

Hey everyone, so I'm completely stumped here. I've ripped an educational dvd that I need to extract 2 clips from, which I can do in Premiere Pro but every time I try to export Media Encoder starts up and it's tries to load the project for about 4-5 minutes then gives me an error. "Could not read from source. Please check if it has been moved or deleted." I've read on the forums that this would require to delete an reinstall the suite if it's been on before, but that's just it, it hasn't. It was a fresh install of Production Suite on a brand new computer. My video was ripped as an AVI. My sequence settings are DV NTSC at 48K audio. I've tried exporting a 1 minute clip for testing purposes at H.264, MPEG4, MPEG2 and none of these work. I was wondering if it might be the source video being 1:32:23 long. I'm stumped and need this for a project so any help is welcomed.
Thanks.

There seems to be a new reason for this error.
AME doesn't actually export the Premiere sequence. It first makes a copy, and uses that to perform the actual export. This allows you to keep working on the original while export happens in the background. But here's the problem, Premiere can apparently corrupt the project file when it makes a copy for AME to use. The file is right where AME thinks it should be, but because it's corrupt, it "can't read" the file, and you get the error.
I haven't found a solution yet.

hi guys
me again...
after getting my After Effects back into workin order (set compatibility for Win 2003 or somethin) - which works great now, I have a problems with Premiere CS3 - when I export video to AVI - its just lookin crap - the edges are square-ish, i see lines (if i turn off clip blend it gets better but not during fading out in the video)... plus, i cant export into .mov file - I can preset everythin and then once i click export it shows "Error compiling movie. Unable to create or open output file" ..... plus I cannot export to any uncompressed AVI format (it exports only sound... no video.. BUT I have no problem with Adobe After Effects! (i can even export into .mov with no problem except being unable to set sound quality (if i touch that setting, it crashes... but in AAE every setting of export works fine (either uncompressed or compressed... ) whats wrong with that premiere?? oh and cant forget to mention - in premiere the preview window just looks crap as well - and is freezin... please help guys...
oh and my PC spec is:
Intel pentium 4 2.8GHz
1.5 GB RAM DDR
plenty of HDD space...
thanks in advance guys:)

EDIT: i was wrong, with after effects- quicktime works there with no problems whatsoever .. (its the AVI where i cannot touch the sound settings... plus, i just looked at it when i did in After effects animation (just text plus some effect and exported it as a AVI with no compression (340MB or so) it looks great! but when i export my avi video from camera to avi (after putting some effects) its not that good lookin (it looses the quality.. :/ why??? wrong codecs? or settings somewhere?? honestly best lookin exported video I get from (im serious) Windows Movie Maker (LOL)

CS4 Audio Export Problem

Hi
I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

.mov export problems

Hello,
I have a new WinXP computer with CS3 Master Collection and
Quicktime 7.2. When I export a movie (file > Export Movie) the
progress bar moves all the way to the end and hangs there. I never
get my completed file. I can see a .dat file, but the process never
completes to give me the .mov.
I have tried the Animation and H.264 codecs with the same
results. I am also able to product AVI files with no problems.
Help or suggestions are greatly appreciated,
- Jon

I found another post on this forum that resolved my issue.
For anyone else having this problem with MOV export, make sure you
do the following:
- Create a stop() command at the last frame of the animation
- Make sure there are no frames after the stop() command
Once I removed the frames after my stop() command, the export
completed just fine.
Cheers,
- Jon

CS4 Export Problem

I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing. The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive. I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive. I have looked in temp files but they not there. Can anyone advise me on this?

That's done it S.V. Many thanks!

I'm a newbie so don't take my word as gospel buuuuttt....
If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me. Go edit>preferences>media, hover the mouse over the media cache files location (i.e. C:\yadayada) and TYPE that into the bar at the top of the my computer. Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

Final Cut Express Export problems

I am trying to export a .dv file into a .avi format but it only seems to export 9 mins of a 1 hr file.
What am I doing wrong.

I am not sure what is going on, but i would be inclined to do the following,
a) check to make sure that you have not set the in/out markers to limit the export to only 9 minutes.
b) empty your render cache, you will need to do this manually via the finder.
c) re-render the timeline.
d) but to eliminate the .avi conversion, try exporting as a movie reference 1st, then using quicktime pro export to another format, such as mp4 and see if the same limitation happens. if not try again with the .avi export.

I have an exporting problem

I have an exporting problem. I tried to export a little over 2 minute video in 1080p at 29 fps. I know that this setting has worked on all of my previous videos until now. When I tried deleting the files I believed caused the problem, the error still occur. Is there any way to fix this?

rachelb
Thanks for the follow up with further details.
1. Please review the following Adobe document on Complying error for export
"Error compiling movie" during render or export
2. Please confirm error @
Encoding Menus
Encoding Media
Compiling
Actual Burn Process
3. Best to make a copy of the problem project and work from that for the troubleshooting..File Menu/Save a Copy, with different name for copy or copies.
3. Expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline to get a better view of the Timeline content.
a. look for obvious flaws in the Timeline tracks content -
b. Explore for less obvious flaws
....Target the transitions...have you dealt with trimmed versus untrimmed clip where the transition is being made?
....Target the audio, looking for gaps
....Target the Timeline in general looking for debris, fragments of clips that you previously deleted
....Check Timeline menu marker placements....no stop marker after the last item on the Timeline
....Check Movie Menu customization area for overlapping buttons, presenting with red frames around the overlapping buttons
c. When you have your disc in the burner tray, what does the burn dialog Quality area show for Space Required and Bitrate.
d. What is the video compression for your .mp4? Have you set a 4:3 project for a 4:3 source or a 16:9 project for a 16:9 source?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Model Export problem

Hello!
I wan to export a model to import the model on an other system.
But if I click on the Export button just another popup will be opened: "Exporting..." and nothing happens.
Regards
Armin

Hi,
I have the same export problem as Armin and I haven't solved it yet. The CE 7.1 SP5 system runs on Windows Server 2003 and the browser is IE7. If I access Visual Composer remotely from another machine also with IE7 the export works! Thus, it is not a problem of the server but of the client. Maybe it has something to do with the MS XML parser or the SVG viewer together with IE7?
Please post if anybody has a solution for this.

Kevin

Export Problem in LR 3.5

Hi folks,
I have been working with LR 2.7 for a while now and was happy with it.
PC - Win XP - LR3.5
Photo's stored on external hard disk (K:)
The RAW captures of a Nikon 3100 I recently won were not being recognized/imported by LR 2.7 and I installed the 3.5 version to see if it was any better. I would have to buy it anyway by the time I switch to Win7. In 3.5 the Raw files were imported, the settings of 2.7 were nicely taken over but now and I cannot export the files I have worked on to the K: drive of the external hard drive as I used to do with 2.7.
I get the message 'The folder could not be found' though it is set in the Export Window and I am looking at it in Win Explorer.
The original RAW captures are on the D: drive but that was always the case with 2.7 as well... I am doing it exactly as I used to with 2.7.
I tried with a photo from an older folder of my usual camera and everything works fine there.
The problem seems to be only with the Nikon files. Now I start wondering if there is something with raw format of this Nikon camera that is putting LR in a twist...
Anybody any ideas to help me out?
Thanks and grts
Nil

@ web-weaver:
Of course they go to a different folder and they also get different
titels/names once processed in LR. The originals are always RAW (NEF) and I
export them as jpg or tiff files depending on what more I will do to them.
@ ssprengel:
I get the message when I have renamed the file in the export window, set
the folder it has to go to and hit export.
In the 2.7 version I got it already when I tried to import.
As I said, this only happens with the Nikon (NEF) RAW files. With the
Olympus (ORF) RAW files I have no problem at all and had no problem in LR
2.7 either.
I cannot see anything wrong in the Export panel nor in Preferences.
Plug in is Metadata Wrangler and has been updated to the latest version >
no joy...
I tried import/export with jpg files and no problem there.
Yesss! Got it! What I had overlooked was a question mark next to the folder
in Library (sooo small). A rightclick and telling LR where it was solved
the problem. Strange, though, as it has never done this before... the main
folder and the path are still the same as the ones that work perfectly with
Olympus exports... just a different subfolder named Nikon and another named
Test... Also strange that if I started off with jpg, it was no problem
either...
Anyway, thanks a lot for shaking my senses for me

Export problems- it's renaming my MOVs to strange things and they're huge!

Hey guys,
strange fcp export problem. I have a 10 minute anim compressed fcp project, 1920x1080, 30fps on a top-of-the-range macbook pro with external terabyte HD. I did a test export a couple of days ago, because our deadline is really soon, and that all worked fine - a 10 minute quicktime, 100% anim codec, was 26GB. That was fine. I did another test clip, just a spinning bitmap for 10 mins, from AfterEffects with similar, succesful, results and file sizes.
Now, however, when I export, it comes out as 60GB, and FCP changes the filename to something which is the first half of the filename I chose, and a strange number for the second half which is different each time I try it. Something like "filena#CF342.mov", for example. This file seems to have video in it OK, but it's 3 times the size, and the data rate is much higher, too high to play back.
The only changes I've made since my successful test are replacing many of the low res previews with hi res versions, and adding 1 minute to the end. And I changed my QMaster setup, not sure if that's anything to do with it.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm getting pretty worried.....
thanks in advance....

Thanks for the quick reply! No, don't think that's the problem. The new render doesn't have an alpha channel - it's Animation 100% Millions (not Millions+), and I don't think that would add more than 25% to the file size anyway. It also wouldn't account for the strange renaming of filenames. And the increase in length is only 10%. The file size has tripled!
The final delivery format was going to be animation, 1920x280, because it's going to projected on a 30m wide cinema screen and live TV tomorrow night but our playback solution (while it handles the test files ok) can't handle the data rate of these strange new files: it's 800mb/s, which is pretty ridiculous.
The renaming of the files suggests (to me at least) some kind of bug/error, but it doesn't report any kinda error in either fcp or quicktime.
Plan B is to recompress the strange big file using h264 which gives an ok quality and is 10% of the size. Reason I'd like to do it animation is I need to do several versions with different gamma, so I need to do further processing on the rendered file after it's dumped from FCP.
Any thoughts? I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
one thought - I didn't tick "recompress all files" and some of the source DOES have alpha - would it be taking the alpha channel even though I didn't ask for it?
