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:
9/26/13 1:02:44.517 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[171]: ([0x0-0x42042].com.adobe.Adobe QT32 Server.application[331]) Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault: 11

System information:
Retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) (16gb ram)
Mac OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
Running Adobe CC (for teams), all apps are up-to-date.
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.
Kind regards,

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
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
iChatTheaterPreview.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

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.

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.

I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export?

I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export? It also will not let me login. It says photoshop.com is temporarily unaivalable and to check my network settings. Error 400. Can anyone help me? I need to export this video as soon as possible.

You don't say which version of Premiere Elements you're using, but Photoshop.com was discontinued last year, so you won't be able to log into it.
As for exporting -- it's hard to give you specific information without knowing which version of the software you're using and on what operating system but -- which Share or Publish & Share option are you using and what is happening when you use it?

Adobe Media Encoder CC renders do not reflect changes to Dynamically Linked After Effects Comps

When rendering a Premiere timeline with a dynamically linked After Effects composition, Adobe Media Encoder will sometimes use an older version of the linked composition (even after I have saved changes in the After Effects comp).
For example, if I correct a spelling mistake on some text in After Effects, save the composition, and then add the sequence to the render queue in Premiere, the final output from media encoder still has the old spelling.
If I do a straight export from Premiere instead of adding to render queue, the output is always correct. I've noticed this problem on several different Windows 8.1 systems.
All versions of the software are up to date as of today.
Why is this? Is it something to do with the disk cache in After Effects? Does media encoder have it's own cache that I need to clear?

Hi, I've been having this same issue. Here are some additional things I've noticed about it:
Changes are reflected properly when played back on timeline in Pr CC 2014.
Happens regardless if the dynamic link file was rendered or not, thus deleting the render files does not fix the issue.
The issue can persist through saving, closing, and reopening both AE and Pr.
I'm using OSX 10.9.4, so this is not just a PC issue.
Other than manually watching for every change to be reflected in the render, there is no way to know a problem has occurred. Needless to say this can be incredibly costly.
Please address this quickly, it's completely unacceptable that what we render out could be a different version from what we see on the timeline.
PS Some additional things I will be testing:
Does the issue persist through closing all CC apps, including Media Encoder.
Does rendering directly out of Pr, i.e. not using Media Encoder, fix the issue.

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.

AME Adobe Media Encoder Cuda GPU Acceleration not activated, How do I activate it

Mac Pro Early 2009 4.1, Processor 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Memory 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB, Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Adobe CS6 suite up to date all programs as of 3-18-14
NVidia Cuda Driver 5.5.47 installed, Open CL and GL capable
I read this article http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2013/09/13/enabling-cuda-for-the-mercury-playback-engi ne-in-the-macbook-pro-retina/. it shows GPU acceleration through AME (see below). In my AME que window I do not see this

Todd:
(edit)
Just reread - sorry, CS6 vs CC.
What about AME CC?
http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2013/09/13/enabling-cuda-for-the-m ercury-playback-engine-in-the-macbook-pro-retina/
So, CUDA acceleration in AME and OpenCL is supported. Anyway to monitor this? I get FAILED when I try either (on a box with nVidia, or a box with AMD).
Found this: http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/whats-new-media-encoder-7-1.html#gpu-accelerati on
GPU acceleration
Adobe Media Encoder now takes advantage of GPU for rendering purposes. Both CUDA and OpenCL are supported. The latest release of AME uses the GPU for the following renders:
Scaling (HD to SD; SD to HD)
Timecode filter
Pixel format conversions
Deinterlacing
Aspect ratio changes
All effects in the Effects tab
GPU accelerated effects in Premiere Pro
If you are rendering a Premiere Pro sequence, Adobe Media Encoder will use the GPU render preference you have set for the project. All GPU rendering capabilities of Premiere Pro are utilized.The limited set of GPU renderable tasks in Adobe Media Encoder is only for renders that originate in Adobe Media Encoder.
If you are rendering a sequence with native sequence support, the GPU setting in AME is used and the project setting is ignored. In this case, all GPU rendering capabilities of Premiere Pro are utilized directly in AME.
If your project uses 3rd party VSTs (Virtual Studio plugins), the GPU setting in the project is used. The sequence is encoded through headless Premiere Pro just as in earlier versions of Adobe Media Encoder. If Enable Native Premiere Pro Sequence Import option is unchecked, headless Premiere Pro will always be used and the GPU setting is used.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 does not preview video in Lion 10.7.3

In response to a question in the Adobe Forums about this [ http://forums.adobe.com/message/4302817#4302817 ], Adobe said:
Apple changed something in 10.7.3 and we thought we worked with them to find all the fall out. This one slipped through. We will work with Apple to determine how we can address this.
Are there any updates on when this will be fixed? Not being able to preview video in AME5.5/MacOS 10.7.3 is a serious bug. I have to go back to an earlier version of AME on a Windows machine to encode FLVs.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4--Missing part of interface in Export Settings

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 operating system on a 32-bit dell computer. When I open Adobe Media Encoder
I click on the Add button. Then I go to Edit->Export Settings. I am missing some of the
options for instance: adding cue points, parameters, and filters. I think it has a problem with Windows 7, but I'm
not sure.
There should be more options.
I put in my installation disk, but it does not allow you to just reinstall this program.
Does anyone know why this is happening. It works on a computer running Windows XP.

I cannot guarantee that it is not a software issue. Sometimes Matrox is an easy "target." However, with several other Matrox users having similar issues, it does seem that Matrox might be the common element.
One of the issues with troubleshooting Matrox issues with PrPro is that few of the normal responders here have Matrox. Many tried the cards, and most unplugged them for various reasons. Some, like me, have never used them. That kind of limits the responses here, unless a Matrox-user, who has addressed such issues successfully, drops by with some tips.
Good luck, and please update the thread, especially if you do get a "fix." Others will benefit, and I will learn something new!

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 Dynamic Link Server NOT CONNECTING to Premiere Pro

I have Media Encoder CS5, as part of the Creative Suite 5. My programs say that I have no updates to install, so everything is up to date.
I am having an issue with the dynamic link server.
Here's what has happened thus far.
Recently when I have tried to encode a project sequence from Adobe Premiere Pro it DOES NOT work. This is the first time that has happened.
I repeated the process and again, it still happened, unable to connect to the Dynamic Link.
The Error messages that I was getting was "could not read from source. Check if it has been moved or been deleted"
Once, I received this, I went to check to see if all files were linked properly, and they were. Everything was rendered and all was good in the timeline and the project itself.
Yet, again, the error message appeared.
Then I tested a previous project that I knew had been exported and worked through Adobe to Media Encoder. And all the files were linked properly and yet again received the error message I wrote above.
Then I thought the Dynamic Link itself wasn't working properly, so I tested importing an Adobe After Effects Comp into a Premiere Timeline and it DID WORK.
Then I went and tested if a video file of an already exported project would be able to sync to Media Encoder. And this WORKED.
I then went to add the file directly from Media Encoder and when I went to add a sequence from a saved Premeire File, it would take about 5 minutes "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server", to then state, "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server Failed"
My question is, how do I fix the dynamic link between Media Encoder and Premiere? Because, additionally, importing and After Effects Sequence works with Media Encoder.

I've been searching/troubleshooting for days, none of the firewall, new shortcuts in folder, antivirus, you name it I tried it even wiped my system which seemed to work at first..
What did it for me in the end was I had Dxtory (a software recorder, for recording gameplay) running on startup, and somehow it interfered with only Premiere projects in Media Encoder, I could still import AE projects go figure.
Check all the programs you have running or use sometimes, if they have some sort of hook into other programs/deal with video/codecs this could be your problem too!
Thanks to everyone trying to solve this problem!

Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 crashing (not responding) when adding files

Hello,
I am running AME CS5.5 on a late 2010 MacBook Pro. I have been trying to create some broadcast quality .mpg files for my local cable provider's Video On Demand service but AME keeps crashing on me whenever I add a .mov file to the queue. I am using Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects CS5.5 to edit video and create animations. I have been able to encode a few files into the required .mpg specs, but now I can't even add a file into the queue without it freezing up. I then have to force quit the application to shut it down. I have recently repaired my disk permissions and used DiskWarior to clean up and create a new directory. Is this a known bug? Is Adobe working on a fix. I hope so because I have some projects due in mid-September and would hate to have to resort to using Apple's Compressor instead of AME since AME is faster. Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are my Mac specs:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2

Is this happening with all files? Just QuickTime files? Just QuickTime files using a certain codec?
I'm taking a shot in the dark, but any time that someeone mentions hangs and QuickTime, I suspect the problems described here:

Videographer membership with Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects and Media Encoder

Hi,
I love Adobe's applications as much as a carpenter loves his toolbox, but I cannot justify the monthly cost of a toolbox full of stuff while I only use half of it.
My question is simple: could you please consider making more gradually selected membership plans, or please give us the opportunity to select a custom package with a more justifiable price?
Thanks,

Adobe Media Encoder... Not encoding

So I got my video all said and done.
I export the media.
The encoder pops up, and I start the queue.
...and this is where my problem starts.
The job will sit there and not start what so ever... I left it for an hour and came back to 00:00's...
I notice PPROHEADLESS.exe is running and pretty much maxing out my cpu.
When I kill it, the conversion job starts, but only for a few seconds.
Then I kill pproheadless again, and another few seconds will convert.
If I kill the process to many times, it stops converting all together...
Help?!

Here is a link to another recent POST on this issue. I'm doing this to keep references to recent PProheadless posts together.
Good luck to all,
Hunt
