Clips exported with Media Encoder from AE are choppy (CS6)

Hi!
I'm using Media Encoder (6.0.3.1) to export clips from AE (11.0.4.2) so that I can work with them in PPro (6.0.5).
In Media Encoder I go to add AE composition and I've tried the YouTube HD 1080p 25 and the Broadcast HD 1080p 25 presets (the latter creates a much bigger file but I don't think the file size is the issue - for example, the biggest clip of approx. 1 mintute is 276MB).
The curious thing is that most of the clips that are exported are fine, i.e. they play back fine - the problem is that some of the clips go slow or choppy towards the end of the clip. So the last couple of seconds will be choppy. It basically looks like the frame rate isn't quite right.
Once exported from Media Encoder, I import them into PPro to do some more work - the problem with the clips is apparent when I play the original file in VLC (for example) or in PPro. So it seems like the problem occurs during the export from AE. When I export the video containing the AE clips from PPro the problem is obviously still there (wishful thinking on my part). I use AE just for keying and making some basic titles, nothing massively complex.
I had some problems with RAM preview in AE before, in other words, it wasn't playing the clips back in realtime and the exported clips with the problem look exactly like that (i.e. looks like the frame rate isn't right). I deactivated Enable Disk Cache in AE (Multiprocessing was already deactivated) and now I can play back clips ok in AE using RAM preview - even the ones that go choppy towards the end when they are exported with Media Encoder play back fine in AE.
Could Media Encoder be going back to some previous render files saved somewhere on my system and could that cause some of the exported clips to go choppy?
I'm new to Adobe so I'm just guessing here and I don't want to go about and delete stuff that might not have anything to do with this problem. As I've adopted the computer I'm working on from my predecessor and it's had several users since, the system is a bit of a mess and there are files all over the place. Empting the Disk Cache doesn't actually delete anything for example.
I'm really stuck here because I can't finish the projects I started working on with AE.... I would appreciate someone's input!
Many thanks in advance!
My system specs:
Intel Core i7-3930K, 3.20GHz, 16GB RAM, 64-bit operating system, GeForce GTX 680, Windows 7, Creative Suite CS6
Before using Media Encoder to export clips from AE I was just relying on Dynamic Link between AE and PPro by the way and that made all of the clips choppy for the whole duration (this was before I solved the RAM preview problem and I haven't checked if a working RAM preview would make a difference to dynamic link). So Media Encoder nearly solved the problem. I posted this original problem on creativecow (http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1045810) but no one has gotten back to me about the new issue unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply!
I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

Problem with interlacing when exporting with Media Encoder CS 5.5

It seems that when exporting a Video with interlacing in Premiere 5.5 with Media Encoder 5.5, the exported video is still interlaced although it is rendered with progressive settings. When rendering with the same settings through Premiere 5.5 without Media Encoder 5.5 (Button "Export") it is correct and progressive.
I tried this with H264 and MPEG2. Anyone experiencing this problem too?
Thanx!

Were the field interpretted correctly in the first place? Even if you think they are, try reversing them. I've just been through hell doing something similar with a mishmash of client material from around the world.
In some instances I switched field order (In the File>Modify) although it didn't seem logical. In others, I used AE CS5.5 to added the Reduce Interlace Flicker filter.

Exporting with Media Encoder 7.2.0.43

I use Premiere Pro for a very basic set up. I haven't done any video editing before and have just learnt from videos and having a go. I have one avi and one wav file that I add to the timeline and export to MP4. Using Media Encoder was fine for a couple of days but now when I try to use it I get several different messages and none are consistent or helpful or correct from what I can see.
I have my PP set to show my content status, all of my content is online but when I try to encode it says there the content is offline and it will be encoded with offline content. I thought it might be a bug so I just tried to continue and it encoded with the offline image even though my content is online and never was offline. So I have to open the project in PP, save, close and re add to ME. Then if try to encode it will start but then it stops before getting 1/3 way through and the time elapsed and time remaining just climb and climb and climb. Then if I try to close ME it crashes. I was trying to do one today with nothing but ME running on my laptop I opened Outlook and I got this error:
An error occured during playing the AVI file:
The data is invalid. (0xd)
I have cleared the media cache and that made no difference.
My apologies if this is covered somewhere in a forum. I have spend many an hour trying to find a solution and I am just getting more frustrated.

Hi Jim,
I'm having the same problem of the mpeg 2 codecs missing from adobe media encoder. I have 2 computers and on both of them the mpeg 2 options for encoding have disappeared today. Can you please help?

Premiere crashes when trying to export with Media Encoder via Dynamic-Link

I work with clips from a networkdrive and I think the problems relates to this fact. My User-Account is an Admin-Account. I don't have any other Accounts. I also set Premiere, Adobe Media Encoder and every dynaimclinkmanager and -mediasever I could find to "run as administrator". Importing Clips in the timeline and work with them works well.
Setting Adobe Media Encoder as "run as admin" solved the issue in the past, that it sometimes didn't render clips out sent from premiere via dynmiclink saying that it couldn't find specific files (which were instances of the actual premiere-project in the tempfolder), thogh these files were actually there.
Thanks for help!

I can only recommend having all files stored locally on internal drives. Use network drives only for backup and archiving.

Premiere Pro freezes after exporting with Media Encoder

So I'm running the latest version of CC.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.9.2, 8-Core Xeon, 24GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
I've got a very simple and straight forward timeline. After sending "Exporting Media" via queue to Media Encoder, everything exports fine. But after returning to Premiere, it has become impossibly slow--practically frozen. No crash, no error message, just takes about 60 seconds for any clicks to register. I click save project, and the saving progress bar does not visibly progress, yet it seems to actually successfully save the project, because closing and launching premiere, the file is saved up-to-date just fine.
So for the past few days, I've been saving --> export/queue timeline --> quit premiere --> allow queue to complete --> then relaunch premiere... Of course, this is only a temporary work around.
Now, if I "Export" the media only without queueing in Encoder, it does fine and premiere remains stable and normal.
Ideas?

Exact same problem here, plus exports are slow

Premiere CC exports crash, media encoder CC crashes, after effects cs6 to cc modify composition

Hi,
we are working in a project formed by many episodes of 1 hour each episode.
We have also many clips that come to premiere from after effects throught dynamic link (masks that hide unwanted elements, this kind of things).
The point is that we decided to update to cc from cs6, and the hell's been unleashed...
We have converted premiere projects cs6 to CC, as well as each premiere project file, and in many clips that came from after effects the work has been alterated, we see fly's that we got hide, some other clips the image is totally distorted by something that before was a mask...many of the work is ruined...and it's not easy to detect because sometimes are little parts of image. It's like somebody's been playing with our compositions...if we reopen the cs6 version just before converting to cc everything's fine, after it's chaos... the problem is that we return to cs6 we will lose a month and could be critical...
When whe export in differents formats, (720p, 1080i, .mov, mpeg2, mpeg4, blu ray...) we have success 1 time each 10 (normally it get's stuck in a image or it pops up an error message of premiere), and if it succeed exporting, the export has strange artifacts like green or purple parts of the image that we cannot see in the timeline, and that disappear if we export only the affected part of the timeline...
None of this things happened before with cs6, somebody has the same problem? is there a solution? We are really disappointed with CC, it's very unpleasant to start to see flyes ant stuff that we had hided, especially because the changes are not evident and hard to detect.

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://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:

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.

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

Hope this helps.

Premiere Pro CC not queuing exports into Media Encoder CC

I try to make this simple...
standard export from PP CC to ME CC
File -> export -> media, then hit queue.
Media encoder opens and just sits there. Left it for hours to see if anything would ever happen, and nothing ever did.
I've restarted the programs and machine dozens of times and that does nothing.
I can still export from PP CC.
I have no CS6 products left on my box.
I also tried to open the project from Media Encoder and load the sequence that way with no luck.
Thanks for the help!

I had this exact same problem, and I figured out the solution in my case. I know the original problem report is ancient, but there are recent replies, so I am adding my solution here. I spent untold hours figuring this out, so hopefully this will save someone else some time.
There can be other causes to this problem, I'm sure. I'm just telling you about what fixed this problem for me.
Just to clarify, here is the symptom: Running Windows 8.1. Standard export from Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 to Media Encoder CC 2014.2, using File -> Export -> click Queue. Media Encoder opens and just sits there. Premiere Pro is hung and has to be forcibly terminated.
I spent countless hours on this. I thought I had messed up my computer's configuration somehow, so (believe it or not) I re-installed Windows on a freshly formatted hard disk, re-installed Creative Suite, same problem. (I can't believe I wasted all that time; I feel like a dummy.)
I finally narrowed it down to a very simple test case with a very tiny one-clip sequence that is less than one second long. Same problem.
It turned out to be a problem in the Premiere Pro project file itself. I suspect that a small file corruption somehow snuck into the project file, that was completely invisible. In that clip in my project, if I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem with exporting to Media Encoder went away. If I then re-added the very same "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem was still gone. It must be some small corruption in the ".prproj" file that went away when I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect and re-added it again.
NOTE: I DON'T think that there is some kind of bug with the "Vocal Enhancer" effect. I don't think this problem has anything to do with "Vocal Enhancer" per se. It is just some kind of small generic corruption in the project file. When Premiere Pro tries to export that sequence to Media Encoder, the problem occurs. It was just a coincidence in my case that removing and re-adding the "Vocal Enhancer" effect made the problem go away.
BOTTOM LINE: If you find that you have this bug where Premiere Pro hangs when exporting to the Media Encoder queue, try the following: Create a brand new project with a single clip in it, and export it to the Media Encoder queue. If that works, you know that it is not a problem with Premiere Pro in general; it's a problem in your specific project file. Once you've made this determination, make a copy of your original project file, and remove clips from the project until the problem goes away. Keep narrowing it down until you find the clip(s) that are the issue. Then, try removing and re-adding any effects on those clips, or even removing and re-adding the clips themselves, to fix the problem. Eventually, by removing and re-adding a specific effect or clip to your project, the problem will vanish (hopefully). It's just a matter of narrowing down which half of your project the problem occurs in, then which half of that half, etc., until you have it narrowed down to one clip or group of clips that need to be removed and re-added.
Having said all this, it is a bug that ideally should be fixed so someone else doesn't spend untold hours trying to figure out the problem. To that end, I create a tiny ZIP file that just has project file and the single media clip needed to reproduce the problem, along with a small description "READ ME.txt" file that explains the very simple steps to reproduce the problem. I have submitted this as a bug report to Adobe using their official online bug report form at www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform along with a link to the ZIP file so they can download and reproduce the problem.
If anyone else is curious about reproducing this same bug, you can also download the small ZIP file if you want to. I guarantee it doesn't have any viruses or anything - it's just two small files to reproduce the problem. To download the ZIP file containing that project file, media file, and "READ ME.txt" file, you can get it at www.forgaard.com/files/PremiereProBug.zip.
I hope this saves someone some time. This one sucked up a zillion hours of me chasing apparitions.
I was having a problem with exporting a sequence to AME. PPro would freeze and I would have to force the program to close. This was on a project where I was just running out a bunch of interview clips for the director to look at. One of them had a audio effect (DeHummer) on it, and it was the one that was giving me troubles. I selected the audio and right clicked then "Render and Replace" then it would export to AME with no issue. Thank you for your well written response to this thread. While it may not have fixed the OP's issue, it did help with mine....
Thanks,

Exporting to Media Encoder crashes Premiere Pro CC 2014

Greetings,
I am experiencing a problem with premiere off and on. Right now it is an on problem. When I am exporting from Premiere Pro CC (and CC 2014) it will intermittently crash Premiere. I have tried this with several different audio and video formats (AVI [Lagarith and uncompressed], WAV, H.264, MPG2, AAC, etc). At the moment, every time I go to export to queue it locks up and hangs on the "Preparing data for export..." Media Encoder Launches and then it just freezes. I get "Problem Even Name: AppHangB1" over and over. Sometimes a full restart will fix this temporarily and sometimes it goes away for a long while. I managed to get a few sequences exported and then it just kept freezing on every PP CC restart.
Here are my system specs:
Premiere Pro CC (up to date)
Win 7 64bit (up to date)
i7 970
24GB Ram
NVIDIA 470GTX (driver up to date)
3 x 1.5TB internal
4TB internal
3TB internal
12TB RAID 5 via USB 3.0
USB 2.0 and 3.0 drives
FireWire audio device (M-AUDIO FireWire1814)... although, I am not using it for playback. It is connected.
Footage is from C100 H.264 .MTS, H.264.mov from 7D, and H.264 .MOV from iPhone.
All stock video plugins with a few third party audio plugs.
This problem happens with and without third party plugs, but it happens that this project uses them.
I have chatted with Adobe help twice about the matter and nothing has come of it. Log out, log in = same. Restart = same (sometimes), create new user account = same, and so on. The only thing I haven't done is completely re-install premiere, which seems a bit overkill. One of the reps said he would get back to me in a few days after he watched the issue via screen share. Never heard back.
I get the sense that this has something to do with PProHeadless.exe not launching or not running properly. When the crash happens on a fresh restart of PP CC 2014 PProHeadless is not running. I can start PProHeadless and it will send sequence to media encoder. When I try to export another sequence from the same project it crashes and I see another instance of PProHeadless launched.
Also, once the projects are exported to Media Encoder, I can encode them to any format with no problem. The problem is getting the sequences there!
Is there anything that I am overlooking here?
Thanks for the help!

Hi
Premiere pro cc 2014 8.0.1 (21) build
Encoder CC 2014 8.0.1.48
I use CC for Teams so it updates all the time.
Again when I tried to use it today by letting premiere open it by sending an output into Queue it crashed both Encoder and Premiere.
In order to shut down Encoder and Premiere I had to go into Task Manager and "End Process Tree" on everything adobe I could find because just ending Encoder did not work it would not close. I remembered that years ago when Premiere would crash we had to end a photoshop process. I found photoshop open even though it was not "alive" on my task bar. I had used it yesterday but had closed it. I also had to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe *32 as well as one of the three Adobe CDF Helper.exe*32. They popped back on but Encode closed and then I got a message that Premiere needed to close and did when I clicked the button to let it close.
After all this I re-opened Encoder by itself and checked the Preferences finding that Import Sequences Natively option was again checked.
By the way for me, "Launch AME manually, then drag the sequence from PPro's Project panel to AME's Queue (or to a preset in the Preset Browser). That uses a different code path than the File>Export>Media workflow." won't work most of the time because I do live events of panel interviews that may run 2 or more hours. I need to break them down to chapters for the web
Also I know this isn't part of this problem but I and many others would still love dynamiclink to work to Encore because the DVD is not dead yet. The current work path is a drag.
Looks like some programers and engineers have some work to do.
Thanks
Dennis

Premiere cc 2014 don't let me export thru media encoder its stop and close the software after few min

premiere cc 2014 don't let me export thru media encoder its stop and close the software after few min

Peferling... I have a positive update! I went to the area that typically made things die. I noticed it was at the tail end of where I inserted a sequence into another sequence. I also noticed I had three tracks in that section with graphics. So I copied all the tracks from the inserted sequence... then removed the inserted sequence and re-inserted the actual tracks. At this point I no longer had an inserted sequence. I then simplified the three tracks of graphics into one. Re-applied my transitions and did last tweaking. I once again tried exporting as H.264 HD... et voila! It worked! Something must have been breaking it.
For now I'm okay and have been able to export into other formats. I want to thank you so much for your input. Regards, Nelson

Media Encoder From AP-Pro not working

Hi,
I'm trying to export a premiere pro file, I go through the "export settings" like normal and then "ok", it goes to "exporting data" but then doesn't go anywhere.
Normally it should access the "Adobe Media Encoder" but it does nothing. When I try to access "Adobe media encoder from the programs it comes up with the error message:
"Adobe Media Encoder.exe - Entry Point Not Found" - "The procedure entry point ??0NewHandlerInitializer@ErrorManager@config@@QAE@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library dvacore.dll".
So I'm guessing it needs reinstalling but where do I get it from? It is not in the Premiere setup files and it's not on the adobe website, only the updates are.
I'm using Windows XP and AP-Pro CS4
Regards,

Just had the same problem. I have had cs2 cs3 and cs4 on the same PC Windows XP Pro.
The exact error message as the o.p. was appearing during export from Premier and when opening Encore.
I was able to resolve this issue after weeks by simply ...
Close all Adobe programs and restart computer.
Go to Windows>Control Panel>Adobe Version Cue CS4
Adobe Version Cue Server window will appear.
Make sure your firewall is not blocking Version Cue or Adobe Updater.
Click Updates tab.
Click "Check for Updates" button.
Adobe Updater will connect with the update server. Click Details.
Checkmark Media Encoder and Photoshop Media Encoder.
Download the latest Adobe Media Encoder updates.
Im finally encoding right now so Im not stopping to look at the update version, lol. but my current version of Media Encoder is now 4.2.0.006

Premiere CS4 with Media Encoder CS5?

Hi,
When I was given my CS4 suite (production premium) years back, it included Premire Pro. Then, when I told my boss I needed to upgrade to CS5, he purchased the Web Premium Suite. This was fine, for the most part, as Illustrator, Flash, and Photoshop are the main programs I use, but we just recently got a video project that is giving me some issues.
We created what turned out being a 4 min + video. After some trial and error we settled on creating multiple segments in Flash and exporting them as uncompressed MOV files from Flash. Then we brought all of those MOV files together in a premiere pro project. The problem seems to occur when I export out an MP4 video from Premire Pro CS4. Premiere launches Media Encoder CS4 and then creates the MP4. The MP4 plays on a cellular device like we want it to, but it will not display a thumbnail/preview of the video when viewing the video in the phones gallery.
We have tried some other tests, and if we export out an MOV or AVI from Flash CS5 then convert that to an MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, there suddenly seems to be a thumbnail on the phone for the video. After multiple tests, it appears the problem might be related to which version of Media Encoder our final MP4 is produced in. ME CS4 - No thumbnail. ME CS5 - thumbnail.
The problem is, we HAVE to use Premiere as our final compiling tool, but I cant seem to get a Premiere Pro CS4 file to work with Media Encoder CS5.
Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Justin

but to automatically open up AME CS5 ... hmmm.. maybe a hack?
No, that will not work. Even if you have Audition 4.0 installed (beta), edit in Audition from CS5 will only access Audition 3.0.
The only way to try it is to open AME CS5, go to File/Add Premiere Pro Sequence and select the CS4 project and then the correct sequence.

Encoding Speed with Media Encoder Issue?

I have a 5 hour and 36 minute timeline in Premiere Pro CS5 which is composed of mixed assets- some at 29.97, some at 30 FPS, etc. The timeline is exported to Media Encoder and set for Match Source Attributes Highest Quality (Quality 5.0, VBR 2 pass, min 3.00, target 6.00, Max 7.00 MBPS). NTSC 720 X 480 (0.9091), 29.97 FPS, PCM 48hz, 16 BIT stereo. Format is MPEG2 DVD.
Estimated file size is 18138 MB. The file takes approximately 36 hours to encode. Is this normal?
Premiere Pro CS5
Media Encoder CS5
Windows 7 64 BIT
2.4 GHZ
Intel Quad 4
700 GB free space on hard drive
6 GB RAM

Is this normal?
Probably yes. Aside from the normal conversion with 2 pass VBR, which even under ideal conditions could require up to 3 times the duration of the footage (in your case this makes about 15 hours), you are causing additional operations to conform the frame rates on the Premiere level of things. Also, since this is handled as a Dynamic Link process, you may be a bit short on RAM, which may slow down things further. And then of course the usual with disk speed and file I/O etc.. So it more or less sounds normal, but you should not let the initial rough guesstimates discourage you. Many times these values will get much lower after a while of transcoding when the encoder has a much clearer picture and statistical data about how long it actualyl takes to encode so and so many frames...

How do I export on Media Encoder CC and play on Premiere Pro CC without affecting the export?

I can export on media encoder and play on Premiere at the same time if I save my project > Close premiere pro > open Media encoder > import premiere pro sequence > start export > and open my project on premiere again.
But I`m having some issues with the playback quality (sometimes it stop and the audio starts getting out of sync), and the export gets slow.
Is there anything I can do to export and play at the same time?
I need the full quality of preview.
Working with codecs XDCAM HD 422 and ProRes 422 on Mac Os X 10.7.5 (2 X 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) wiht 24GB 1066 DDR3 RAM
Hope u guys can help.

You can just queue up the export right from PP, start the encode and then go back to PP to continue working. No need to close anything.
Doing this will slow down the export process, as PP will steal whatever resources it needs to run, often pausing AME to do so.

Can't Edit While Encoding With Media Encoder

Does anyone else get this happening to them:
When I begin the encoding process with Media Encoder, then go back to editing in Premiere Pro CC, EVERY time I hit the space bar to play a clip, Media Encoder Pauses its Encoding. Then when I stop playing the clip in Premiere Pro, Encoder begins encoding again. I'm fairly positive that Adobe touts that you can be encoding and editing at the same time, but I can't believe that this is happening. Anyone else?
Also, Encoder refuses to use my destination folder preference, instead targeting a folder I had used long ago and I have to manually target for every encode, every day.
THANKS!!!

Encoding is a real CPU/disc hog ... heh, it's an intensive process. Trying to both encode and playback in real-time ... um ... if you've got a rig with say four CPU's with 128GB RAM, two really hot v-cards that the Adobe program actually love to play with, and all programs/cache/footage/outputs on RAIDed SSD internal drives, you can maybe do both at the same time.
Think about what playback is doing ... it's not just playing the video off the disc ... not hardly. It's taking bits of video from this spot on the disk, skipping to this section of another video file there, to that one here ... and while doing that it's also immediately "reading" whatever changes you've made in editing, whether sound, size changes, color/grading, masks, EVERYTHING ... and applying that to the video it's grabbing of a disc somewhere AS it is playing it. Using a ton of CPU, disc read/write throughput, and probably a chunk of the v-card's GPU & vRAM. What's left for AME to use?
I've seen a lot of complaints around here as to why editing playback isn't smooth ... hey, in VLC, play that file, it plays back easy, what the * is PrPro doing?
Um ... VLC is playing the "straight" file, PrPro is playing back the file with all the other stuff added to it ... which isn't yet added to the file in reality, it's only instructions as to what to do to the file. So ... PrPro is essentially doing much the same work as when AME renders to an output simply to play the file in the program monitor.

Clips exported with Media Encoder from AE are choppy (CS6)
