Can Ppro CS3 projects be imported by Media Encoder CS4

Hello:
I have Ppro CS3. I also have the Design Suite CS4.  I would like to render out Ppro CS3 sequences or projects into F4V files in Media Encoder CS4.
Does anyone know if this is possible?  When I select "add Premiere sequence" in Media Encoder CS4 and find the Ppro project in the file tree Media Encoder hangs just upon selecting the Premiere project without even attempting to add to the render queue.  I am not sure if this is because CS3 project are incompatible, or for some other reason. As mentioned, Media Encoder CS4 hands as soon as the Premiere project is clicked to selected and before "ADD" is clicked to add to the render queue.
Anyone come across this problem?  Is it fixable, or are Ppro CS3 projects just incompatible with Media Encoder CS4.
Thanks.
Jeff

I appreciate the reply.
However, unfortunately, I do not have Premiere Pro CS4.  This is why I am trying to export to Media Encoder CS4. I own the Design Premium CS4 suite which has Media Encoder CS4 version built in.
Media Encoder actually is a stand alone product.  When you bring the program up, It has import options for the files you wish to encode.  One of the options is to import a PPro sequence.  However, when searching the system for Sequences, I could only figure out how to get to the Pproj files. 
Documentation appears to indicate the Pproj files are compatible with Media Encoder.  However, when I droped in the Pproj file from Premiere Pro CS3, I got a message that it was not a compatible file (message text may not have been that exact statement).
This is why I was curious to see if there is a version compatibility issue, or if someone can tell me how to other render out of Premiere CS3 into the Media Encoder version that comes with CS4 suites.
Thanks.
Jeff

  • Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

    Hello,
    I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
    - Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
    - Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
    - Preset Used: Custom
    - Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
    - Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
    - Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
    - Encoding Time: 00:06:36
    5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem.  I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file.  I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder.  A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
    I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere.  Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
    Could use some advice here.
    Glen
    P.S.  the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

    Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place.  We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
    Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
    WME is capturing at the following specs:
    160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
    1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
    29.97 fps
    640x360 resolution
    buffer size: 5 seconds
    key frame interval: 8 seconds
    I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
    AME is encoding with the following specs:
    FLV Multiplexing
    On2 VP6 codec
    620x360 resolution
    800kbps 2 pass VBR
    100% undershoot at best quality
    160kbps stereo MP3 audio
    I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
    Yes, these are our source assets.  They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know.  I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Can't run Adobe Media Encoder CS4

    I can't open this application at all. It starts up, and shows the brown screen, but then quits and I get the message "The application Adobe Media Encoder CS4 quit unexpectedly". What can I do to sort this out? I reinstalled all my Adobe stuff a week or so ago after having some problems in InDesign.

    You're not providing any system info nor the exact error when it crashes, so this is not going anywhere. That aside you may have better luck simply asking in the AME/ PPRo forums.

  • Import Image Sequence in Media Encoder CS4?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to import an image sequence in Media Encoder CS4 to export it in FLV?
    In the documentation, it's said in "File formats supported for import" that it supports jpg sequence (not png!?), but I don't know how to add an image sequence.
    Thanks

    Sorry I meant, it doesn't look like can and I find that gay.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Importer?

    I am trying to help a user get all applications installed after a hard drive crash, and am looking for a program that was listed in Add/Remove Programs. The program listed is "Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Importer." I have installed all components of Flash CS4, and it's still not showing, and a search of the Adobe site doesn't mention the importer? Any guidance would be appreciated.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Export fails with Media Encoder CS4 "Encoding Failed"," Could Not Read From Source.

    There has never been a history of Adobe CS3 installation on the brand new MAC Pro I am using prior to installing Master Collection CS4, despite other posts claiming that chief cause of this issue is a previous CS3, Beta or trial installations of previous versions. I simply had a straightforward installation of CS4 and have had trouble since day 1.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Master CS4 three times, two times with the action script cleaner for CS4. I tried changing Adobe Cache folder locations to alternative drives. I ran shift start many times to correct any inconsistencies and corrected for permissions using disk utilities repeatedly. All updates have been installed and I am still getting the same error when exporting my timeline to Media Encoder CS4, be it a large High Definition project or a small one consisting of few stills.
    No matter what presets I chose, the job appears as one of the items in the render qeuee of Media Encoder CS4 and sits there with the status WAITING until i hit Start Queue. When I do, it still says WAITING under Status and at the bottom corner of the window it reads : Loading "project name.prproj" and after an average of about 6 minutes, a yellow caution sign appears. No render whatsoever takes place. When I click on the yellow caution sign, it reads a log of all errors in connection with each job, including the ones that have gone before it. Here is one:

    Please any gurus out there know how to troubleshoot this damn thing on Mac, I really appreciate it. I have not yet encountered any posts of Mac owners with no previous CS3 installation having this issue. I am in the middle of 3 projects with tight deadlines and need your urgent help. THANK YOU!

    Hello There,
    I resolved the issue through a simple process of elimination. So simple in fact I wonder how I missed it. Since there has been no history of prior CS3 installation on this machine and every conceivable trick was applied to resolve the problem (refer to my original post earlier in the thread) ending in frustration, the problem had to reside in a factor or series of factors that were only present in this machine. Of the two remaining causes different in compare to other machines, I had to look into the possibility of any hardware and/or software conflicts. After all, this very same installation works perfectly fine on my colleague's Apple Macbook Pro and several Windows machines.
    It turns out that I had installed Pro Tools on this machine that comes with all kinds of optional plug-ins in the so called ignition pack. One of these optional plug-ins is called IZOTOPE (three varieties include Spectron, Trash and another one that escapes my mind). They were all lite version licenses that would automatically pop up on their own when you would start a program where they had been residing. One such program where an association existed was indeed the Premiere. An annoying dialogue box directing you to buy the full version when you would start the premiere would refuse to go away. Sometimes it would even start on its own culminating in a a permanent dialogue box.
    The cause of the problem was right before my eyes and I had overlooked it. Once uninstalled using IZOTOPE clean uninstaller on step 4, the problem was resolved. Projects are now loading very fast into the AME and encoding begins in earnest. I have never had any issues ever since.
    Long story short, if you have any plug-ins specially the ones that are loading upon the start of any program or the ones that reside inside the premiere or the ones that start on their own independently, they could be one of the highly probable causes of this error. I have seen other similar posts complaining of plug in folders inside premiere that needed to be moved to resolve the issue for instance the ones that needed to be moved to AE folders. If you are a plug-in admirer, I would suggest to look into them seriously.
    On the side note, many combination and causes may lead to the same error. I am not claiming that this is the solution for everyone.
    It must also be noted that I applied the trick of creating a shortcut of Premiere (and naming it exactly as such) and dropped it into the Adobe Dynamic LInk folder (even though this was suggested for windows)and have changed the adobe Cache locations to an alternative folder on a separate drive. I haven't been able to establish conclusively if the latter steps are also essential in fixing the error on MAC but I can confirm that since the latter steps were taken before the uninstalling of Izotope plug-ins and i still had issues, probably uninstalling those plug ins or finding a way to move them to a place where they don't interfere (if you absolutely need to keep them) is the one essential step that solved the problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • Premiere pro CS4+media encoder CS4 problem encoding to WMV and MOV

    Hello,
    I am new to CS4. I lurked around the meanders of CS4 help and FAQ. In spite of the large help database I could not find a solution to my issue.
    I edited a little movie from shots I took during holidays. I edited in premiere pro cs4 and it is a bit faster than CS3 <yoohoo>
    However I want to export the movie as NTSC source to high quality download. In the Expot settings,  I wrote a file output of course so it can encode and compile the movie somewhere on my HDD and I did not touch anything in standad NTSC source to high quality download values and tabs. In the end the movie should be around 848 mega.
    I press OK, then Media Encoder pops up on screen. my project comes automatically in Media Encoder which is neat so I just had to click on start Queue but here is my problem...
    I can wait for 4 hours or more, Media Encoder status states Encoding but nothing moves forward. Elapsed time remains at 00:00:00, Estimated Remaining remains blank.
    Although something triggered my attention when I widen Media Encoder Source Name tab. It sounds like my project from Premiere Pro is placed in a temporary folder instead of using the regular save project file folder in ...>adobe>premiere pro>4>sebsofie2010b which strange.
    I try to place a picture of my issue and perhaps it will help everyone.
    This picture was taken about 1 hour and half after I tried to encode the movie for the fifth time.
    The status quotes "Encoding"...
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello,
    This is Song to an Illiad. I had to change Email address and password as I am switching provider soon.
    So Ok to bypass the issue at that time, I simply transfered all files to a jumpdrive and re-did the composition at a friend house. Although my problem persist and Thank you for the Wiki link it was helpful. Sherlock free ware discovered several erronous Codec. Do not ask me why, how, when please. I do not toy around with codecs and all I do is update software but I have several software going from Adobe to Autodesk series as well as Nero Light version that came with my Dvd burner.  Should I also mention I play video games when down time permits, as such I updated several time the DirectX software. Beside this, what is it called... Dvix or Xvid, well something like that... prompted me about 2 months ago to update to a newer version which I did. Finally I installed a freeware to export an avi type to another found on Cnet.com a few months ago as the file could be seen in Premiere pro but there were no Audio track seen in premiere while the client gave me his camcorder and I knew there should be an audio track, it was a sort of camcorder that records on a memory sticks which is why the camera was small. It was a canon but nothing more detailed than that. Anyway, I had the camera with no drivers whatsoever and I had a hard time to find the driver for free online which is why I found a freeware or perhaps was it a shareware or a trial (I am not sure), anyway it decoded and re-encoded the movie which it did successfully with lots of image loss quality but it was succesful. I know I deliberatly threw the shareware or trial straight in the garbage once I was done because I do not want this kind of junk on my PC. Perhaps could it be the issue with Media Encoder not able to start?!?!
    Here comes a couple of texts Copy/Past & image to describe what Sherlock found

    What should I do? Can I just reinstall the codec from my Adobe CS4 Production Suite (Without) creating more issues and problems? It seemed the Wiki hints were helpful to pin point a problem but not always at giving solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Seb
    P.S: Could Adobe throw a little software to download to ensure all codecs are what they should be like and prompt user to reinstall straight from our Dvds? It would be soo much easier that way.

  • Premiere Pro/Media Encoder CS4 exports 0 KB movie, any solution?

    I have a (simple) project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 with two video files (same source/codec) and one audio file. The video file starts a few seconds before the audio file starts. There are no transitions and effects, besides filling the left audio channel. However, the problem is that all my attempts at exporting this project to a video file with h.264/aac, PAL widescreen, have been futile.
    The Adobe Media Encoder CS4 4.2.0 takes a considerable amount of time (~4.5 hours) and generates files (m4v & aac) of an appropriate size (~2.5 GB), but deletes those files as soon as it is finished with encoding. This leaves me with an empty y.mp4 of exactly 0 KB.
    I have fully updated both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. My system is a MacBook with an Intel 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, running Mac OS 10.6.
    Is there any known solution for this problem?

    Welcome to the forum.
    First, a few questions:
    1.) What is the source footage's format/CODEC (both your Video and your Audio)?
    2.) Can you tell us about the I/O sub-system on your MB, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, free space (very important) and how you have them allocated?
    3.) Can you Export to another muxed format, as a test?
    4.) Can you Export as non-muxed (Multiplexing set to None) and get two usable elemental/elementary streams? Do each play fine? Again, this is just a test.
    As you observe, the two streams are first created, and then when complete, they are muxed into one file with both the Audio and Video stream. Something is causing the muxing to not complete. This could be an issue directly with AME, or perhaps with your H.264 CODEC, or something like free space on your target HDD.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Crashing Immediately

    Hello,
    I am running the CS4 Production Premium suite on a Windows 7 64-bit computer with 12GB RAM. Up til last week, the whole Adobe suite had been running smoothly. (I primarily use Premiere, Media Encoder, Photoshop, and Encore).  However, Encore started locking up the computer any time I tried to work on authoring a Blu-ray (it locked up immediately upon opening a Blu-ray project, and only locked up on a new project when I switched from DVD to Blu-ray mode). 
    I assumed that some of Encore's source code had either been moved, overwritten by something else, or that there was possibly a program incompatibility with something else on my computer. So I took the step to uninstall and reinstall Encore from the install DVDs.
    Upon a "successful" reinstallation, I then went into Premiere CS4 to encode a timeline to a P2 file. Premiere seemed to be doing its normal exporting process fine, but Media Encoder would crash after the red splash screen disappeared. To be more explicit, the red splash screen would disappear and be replaced by a window the normal size of the Encoder program, but nothing appeared on screen in the window other than a small white box in the upper left with the rest just being plain gray (see attached photo). At the same time this white window appeared, Win 7 popped up a box saying that Adobe Media Encoder has stopped working and that it would search for a solution to the problem, which it never could do.
    I then tried deactivating the suite, uninstalling the full suite and reinstalling, updating so the patches would bring it up to date, and then tried running Adobe Media Encoder again, this time running from the Start menu rather than from Premiere. Yet, it was still the same response: the program crashes immediately.
    I would appreciate any suggestions and help that people can provide.
    Sincerely,
    Kevin T

    Does this seem fixable to anyone?

  • Media Encoder CS4 out-performing CS4 on WMVs

    Ok, this particular issue has been driving me crazy. I have both CS4 and CS5 Production Premium on my machine (2 machines, actually). In testing them today, I imported an avi file captured on a Blackmagic card directly into Adobe Media Encoder CS5 and converted it to a wmv using a 350kbps preset I'd made. The video is 8:15 long, and took right about 16 minutes to encode.
    I then took the exact same file into Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and used the exact same encode preset and it took only 5 minutes to encode. How can CS4 be performing 3x faster than CS5? This only affects WMV encoding; any other filetype seems to be the same in either version.
    Anyone have any clues at all as to where to begin fixing this issue?

    There have been several instances, such as you describe, on the forum lately. Do not recall any exact resolutions though. I'd seach for "green flashes," as that exact phrase has been used in many.
    On the PC using the latest version of QuickTime the exact same video stutters and flashes green.
    Is this with QT 7.6.2? Many had major issues with the QT 7.4.x versions and Adobe software. The QT 7.5.5 version seemed to fix most of those, but another user was having issues with it very recently, and there have been some, who have also had issues.
    It seems that QT will work with Adobe products for a bit, and then the next upgrade, or two, will fritz up the whole works.
    Wish this was not such a "moving target."
    Good luck,

  • Help... Media Encoder CS4 isn't working...

    Ok... I am just fed up with Adobe Premiere CS4. I have had it for two years, and it is just problem after problem after problem. I'm currently working on an important project. First, I finished the project, and went to load it, and it wouldn't load past 95%... so I had to recreate over half of my hours of work. Now... when I go to export my project, it goes into Media Encoder, and never exports. It gets stuck on the "waiting" command, and never goes. I even left it over night, and nothing happened. I am extremely frustrated with this software... it is full of problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I highly doubt my specs are the issue... but here they are...
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz 2.67 GHz
    9.00 GM RAM
    32-bit Operating System

    A 32-bit OS will only ever use up to 4 GB RAM.  So you're handicapping yourself there.  Plus, Vista 32-bit is probably right behind Windows ME for worst Microsoft OS ever.
    Nice CPU though. 
    For the AME issue, how long do you wait?  With page file swapping likely, it may take an unusually long time for the encoding to get started.  And if the memory requirements for what you are trying to do exceed 4 GB (including swap file space), then you won't be able to get any output from the AME at all.
