Compressor v4.1.3: can't create mpeg2 movie: Error: This Is Null

Using Compressor 4.1.3 and FCPX 10.1.4, I attempt to use compressor to create a MPEG2 movie using the "MPEG2 Program Stream, 15mpbs" option. I was successful once, the first time. But I had a problem with that video in that the audio would play but the video would freeze. So any attempt since then fails with the following error:
          Failed 3x Host: [macbook]: Error: this is null.
I don't change any of the video default options. Just using all of the default options  presented to me. And it fails.
Seems like a bug in compressor since I'm not changing any options.
Any idea what the problem might be, or how I can create MPEG2 movies using compressor?
Thanks, Jim

WWhat are your  computer specs? Have you made system changes? Did you repair permissions?

  • Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

    We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
    The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.controllerExportInternal(PrintOutputController.java:280)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:152)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:130)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
    Problem is, this seems to be  a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
    e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
    Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
    We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
    We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

    Hi Henry,
    I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
    Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
    Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.
    Thanks,

    Yes
    >>Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    >>Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs.
    How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?
    >>Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create
    >>a file in RAS's default temp directory?
    Pretty sure yes.
    >> Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions

    Not on App server.
    For RAS, that's the problem, I am not sure where to look.......

    Can you please let me know is there anything missing.

    Hi,
    We face the same problem with some BI4 reports.
    The same report works well with the "Crystal Reports Viewers API", as used in Infoview, but not with the "Report Application Server (RAS) API".
    This error appears after some time working on a report. If we reproduce the same report, but from zero, no problem.
    Hope it can help.

  • 42001 Presenter Publish Error  Can't create uploader unknown error

    42001 Presenter Publish Error Can't create uploader unknown
    error
    Well I guess that about says it all. I cannot publish ANY of
    my Presenter files to Connect Pro... Do I need to do a Presenter
    reinstall?

    I know this is from 2010 but I just started with a company that uses this software and we are receiving this same error.  I tried doing the regsvr32 ppsuplo.dll  but came back with the following result "  The module "ppsuplo.dll " failed to load.  Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.  The specified module could not be found.  I then looked in the program files folder for presenter and found the file right there.  Then tried using the repair option without any luck.  Anyone have an idea of what else we can do?

  • How can i create a website like this?

    Hello Adobe Community
    I've had this idea in my head for a while, but i cannot think of how to create it.
    I think of creating a website with a very nice layout where you can purchase and submit your own ebooks to sell, and they need to be approved by an admin before it shows up on the website.
    I have been thinking about this for some time but i don't have a clue on how to create a website like this and it must take a very long time.http://puu.sh/5Ki7Q.png
    My idea: You can hover over the ebooks to get more information about them, you can see star rating and feedbacks / comments under the ebooks.
    I need help with getting started on the right track, i don't know very much about Dreamweaver, but i am starting to get good at it. I know HTML and a little CSS.
    I would really appreciate any help i can get.

    Unless you have very strong coding skills with PHP & MySql,  I think you could do most of this with  WordPress and  WordPress plugins for e-commerce, star ratings, lightbox viewer, reviews, etc...

    Hi
    You can create a table like this, you can use the table column property to merge the first two column for common value.
    'Grouping value' property to first column; assign the context attribute.
    Even you can do it for second column
    output will be
    First  A  1  50
             C  2  30
    Sec   B  1  20
             C  2  40

  • Server can't create my workspace error when trying to distribute a form?

    I am trying to distribute a form using Acrobat.com.  When I enter the email addresses, the program goes to work and then tells me that it can't create a workspace on the server.  Am I missing something in the process?
    Thank you in advance for any help I can get.

    Acrobat.com Workspaces has been retired. See: FAQ: Adobe Workspaces is being retired
    For Acrobat X & 9 users, when you Select “Distribute” from the Forms tool pane in your Acrobat software, you will no longer see the option to distribute your form with Acrobat.com. You will still be able to distribute your form via email or your own internal server.

  • Can I create a movie trailer using still photos from iPhoto library

    Hey,
    I am wondering whether I can create a movie trailer (like Epic Drama for example) using still images / photos from my iphoto library instead of using movie clips.
    I have found out how to import photos in a normal project but I cannot do the same for a movie trailer project.
    THX
    Dimitris

    You can do this.
    The trick is to convert your trailer to a project.
    First, I would suggest going to the Project Library view and selecting your trailer. Then FILE/DUPLICATE and give the duplicate a name, like (Original Name - Backup).
    Then, with the trailer selected in the Project Library, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    Your trailer is now a project and you can add stills and use all the capabilities of iMovie.

    Premiere Elements offers disc menus for only

    AVCHD on DVD disc
    or
    Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
    The only exception is the feature named webDVD which is in reality a flash file with menus. Until proven otherwise, no way to get that on the iPad 2 unless with viewing from a web browser?

  • How do I create a movie like this one?

    I have OS X 10.6.1. I'd like to create a QuickTime movie like this http://www.happytapper.com/appsmovie.html and embed it into a webpage the same way. Here are a few questions I have about doing that:
    - Do I need Quicktime Pro? I only want to capture the iPhone simulator and the free version seems to be limited to full screen capture.
    - How do you get a completely black background like that?
    - How do you remove the mouse arrow out of the movie (all the clicking around)? The simulator will definitely show that.
    - Should I cross post this question to the developer forum?

    Make scatter brush out of a row of circles
    Apply to a curved path

  • Compressor 3.5 How can I create ProRes file with AIFF audio?

    Hi,
    I've had some issues with audio playing in FCP 7.  I finally found that if I use an aiff audio file 48 16bit it would play okay in the Timeline.  I'm able to create an aiff audio only file in Compression, but if I use ProRes 422 for the Video it will use "passthrough" audio, which won't play in FCP.  I can turn passthrough off, but then I don't have the option of using an AIFF file, just a bunch of other stuff.  Tried the first available option, but it was either silence, or a screeching audio sound so loud it probably woke the neighbors.  There is something called "Apple Lossless", but that doesn't have the right bit rate it seems.
    Anyway, does anyone know how I can create a ProRes 422 file with the correct audio?  Or maybe the only option is to put the video in the FCP Timeline, delete original audio, then add audio that works?  Then perhaps export THAT and compress again into one file?
    Hope any of this makes sense, I have a small project I would rather edit in FCP7, but if I can't get it to work at all, I could just use Premiere Pro for this one.
    Any ideas?  Thanks! 

    Hmmm, this is weird.  I had already converted once to the format you suggested.  When I imported the file into FCP even the original didn't play right.  With the sound on my computer turned all the way down, there was no real audio, just a screeching sound so loud it would wake the dead.  I had to turn off the sound completely to not have my ear drums burst.  Put a small portion of the clip in the Timeline, there was no beeping, but instead no sound at all.
    I thought maybe I had done something wrong, so I chose a much smaller clip (45sec instead of 1:30 hours) that was in the exact same format the larger clip was.  That one played just fine in FCP after conversion, so I re-did the longer clip but got the screeching sound again as soon as I tried to play the clip after import.  When I play that same longer clip in Quicktime, the audio is normal, no screeching at all.
    Any idea why this might be happening?  It must somehow have something to do with the length of the clip.  But how could that be??

  • How can i creat a trigger    error  invalid trigger specification

    i have a stored procedure which i want it to be triggered when an insertion is done on table A

    how can i achieve this

    any help
    Edited by: kama021 on Aug 13, 2009 2:24 AM

    Stop right there, Kama.
    update Table B value (accoutntno ,ID ); commit;Do not go any further on triggers, until you at least know how to write an UPDATE
    Or is it INSERT
    Once you have that in place, carry on by reading a bit about Transactions

  • Can't create a movie file (wmv)

    Whe I try to create a wmv file the process freezes and eventually gives an error message saying the file cannot be created.  Then it closes the program.

    Which version of PSE you are on?
    Please try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408940.html
    As a first step, you can try running Organizer directly from its exe in c:\program files or program files x86\adobe\elements organizer Ver\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe by right clicking it >> run as Admin. Now try taking slideshow output. Keep all background processes turned off from Edit >> Pref >> Media Analysis, while taking output.

  • Can't create PDFs - Distiller Errors

    I'm running a Mac Dual Intel with 10.5.8 and CS3.  I had a problem the other day when opening a PDF file which resulted in being unable to boot up completely.  To resolve the problem I initially tried to reinstall the OS while saving users & network, which didn't work.  I was then able to create a new user and get going.  Everything is working except creating PDFs.
    If I try to print to a pdf it just spools, sits for a few seconds and then stops.  If I print a .ps file and try to distill it, I get the following error message:
    %%[ Error: undefinedresource; OffendingCommand: findresource ]%%
    Stack:
    /ProcSet
    /RRCustomProcs
    /Title
    -mark-
    /dscInfo
    -dict-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    I have used the original CDs to uninstall & reinstall Acrobat 8 with no luck.  I still get the same message.  Any ideas?

    I haven't moved up to OSX 10.5 yet, but I was wondering if you can do what I do in 10.4
    In the Print Dialog window in the bottom left is a PDF button. Click on that and you have the option "Save PDF as Postscript". And then drop your postscript file onto Distiller.
