CS4 Media Encoder freezes on importing Premiere Project

I'm using PPro CS4 on XP professional (German), Service Pack 3.
From one moment to the next Media Encoder stopped working.
When I try to export media from Premiere everything works fine until i start the encoding process.
Media Encoder says "Loading project file..." (figuratively- i'm using the German version) and then freezes soon after ("application is not responding").
I waited for more than 4 hours but nothing changes. XP's task manager shows that Media Encoder is consuming more and more virtual memory, but there ist absolutely no disk i/o.
Media Encoder still works when encoding plain video files in contrast to sequences from premiere.
What i did try up to now:
- exported very simple sequences in different formats
- reinstalled all Adobe CS4 Pro Applications
- removed application data from user folder
- installed the latest SATA/USB controller drivers
but it still remains the same.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi
Here is just one more unhappy Media Encoder user.
Symptoms are the same described in this tread: ME freezes, nothing happen for 5 min. after hitting start queue. Then I get the following error “Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted”
I red almost all threads (and they are many) on ME troubleshooting. Didn't find a solution yet.
In the C:/Documents & settings/.../Temp folder there is only .prproj and epr (?) files that can't be red by ME.
I tried different types of sequence to export in PPr including a simple .avi wide screen (and short ones too)
I tried different output formats in Ppr exporting setting as well, including .avi, mpeg...
I tried to manually add the .prprop file to ME and of course it didn't help
I deleted the indexing of the folder (one of Harm or Bill's advice)
I deleted the pref of PPr and ME (see Genuine Project advice)
I had no problem exporting to Encore and making DVD
This is Win XP, PPr CS4
I know I'm short with hw (laptop – 4 GB Ram) – graphic chipset and one hdd only and I'm looking for a replacement. But could this ME problem be a hw one?
I keep hoping there is a way.

Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezing and crashing upon clicking "Start Queue" - every sequence!

Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezes when queue starts with sequences from Premiere. However, sequences opened from Media Encoder's "Add Sequence" export fine. Have re-installed (without first un-installing), issue is ongoing. I have several important deadlines fast approaching, please help! Media cache has been cleared (both automatically and manually), computer has been defragged and scanned for disk errors... I am absolutely stumped!

I've checked the anti-virus (I didn't think of that!), but it doesn't seem to make any change.
I've had Window Task Manager running while trying to export, it would seem that the problem occures when PProHeadless.exe opens. If I manually close it right before clicking "Start Queue", AME doesn't freeze until PProHeadless.exe re-starts once more.
Any information on forums regarding PProHeadless.exe seem more to do with an error message, not that the application itself is causing problems. I've tried multiple different sequences, all with different footage, different types of files and all with the same result.
Would a complete reformat or Windows and CS4 be the only answer? I dread the thought but I'm getting desperate.

Premiere CS4 & Media Encoder CS4 didn't work..

i just install Premiere Pro CS4 & Media Encoder CS4..
i finished editing my videos in Premiere, but when i want to encode it in Media Encoder, it says "please verify that adobe premiere is installed in your computer"..
what should i do?
tnx..

Welcome to the forum.
Do you have the full-paid version, or the trial?
It sounds like your installation is not complete, or has become corrupted. This is a general CHECKLIST for installing most Adobe programs. Look over it, to see if perhaps you missed something.
If you did everything in the checklist, then I would attempt a Repair Install. Did you install from media, or from a download?
Good luck,

Adobe Media Encoder Freezes

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 V4.2.1 on a Windows 7 64-bit system. I have an Intel Core i7 processor running at 3.1 GHz, 12 GB of DDR3 RAM running at 1413 MHz, an nVidia GeForce 260 core 216 graphics card, and a video disk consisting of 2 WD 7200 RPM HDD striped as a RAID 0.
Encore was crashing the computer everytime I selected the Build tab and clicked on the Blu-Ray button. This was solved by updating the Sonic Solutions PX Engine.
Now I have problems with the AME. I am working on a 2 Hr 39 Min project with .mp4 clips which Adobe's "Get Properties For" recognizes as XDCAM EX files NTSC, 1080i, 1920X1080 at 29.97 FPS. My preset is selected accordingly.
I have seen multiple posts about Adobe Media Encoder freezing but never found a definitive answer. I have gone as far as doing a clean install and reinstalling PrPro but nothing has changed.
The same thing happens when I try to build an H.264 Blu-ray disk image in Encore or whether I try to render the timeline in Premiere Pro CS4. The transcoding proceeds normally and the orange progress bar progresses for the first 3 - 3 1/2 hours. All 8 processor cores are running temps of 56-60 degrees Centigrade. After 3 - 3 1/2 hours the processor core temps fall to 36-40 degrees and there is no further progression of the orange bar over the next 3-4 hours. At that time the transcoding of Sequence 1 is about 30% complete. I then hit the cancel button and the busy ring spins and spins for about 10 minutes. Then a Windows pop-up says the program is not responding and asks if I want to close the program.
I had an almost identical project when I was using Windows Vista 64-bit and PrPro CS4 on the very same computer, but before the V4.2 update came out, and did not have any problems at all. I have been using Premiere Pro for about 14 years and have never encountered crashes like I am having now.
Hopefully somebody has the answer for this???

I am no expert but I had this happen also.
It turned out to be a bad video clip.
Have you rendered the project? (Sequence>Render Entire Work Area (Timeline must be your active box I believe))
Does it finish or hang?
If it hangs up you most likely have a bad clip or empty space.
The experts will be able to give you more to go on but that may get you started.
Also, I never trust the new Windows 7 "not responding" popup.
I always go to task manager and have a look, if I wait for something I know should take a long time it is almost always a false popup.
Watch for the ImporterProcessServer.exe *32 process. If it takes up a full core worth of processor percentage, you most likely have a problem with a clip. (I am willing to back off that “opinion” but it holds true for me.)

Media Encoder freezes partially through HD encode

Hello:
I did all the pretests prior to taking on an HD project. Everything passed. The testing was based on a maximum 30 second clip. It seems now that I have an HD project thats 9 minutes long, Media Encoder freezes and I have to reboot anywhere from half to near the end of the encode. This happens with a wmv or mpg encode.
I am on Vista with CS4. I shot with the Sony XD EX1R and have edited native in Premier. I reiterpret the footage to anamorphic and everything edits fine. I go to encode, all the settings look good when I view it in output mode. I start the encode, its fine and then it decides to freeze. Was suppose to get a preview to the client on Friday. I don't know what to do at this point. I've tried varying the bitrates, etc.
Any suggestions and do you need any additional information.
Thanks in advance for your assistance, regards,
ChristineZ

Okay thanks. Windows Vista 64-bit op sys, CS4, processor Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, [email protected] Ghz, 8.00 GB Ram, separate T-bit drive for video, projects on a separate drive as well, CS4 (10.0.2) full-licensed version on C:drive. Media Encoder works beautifully in SD with any length project. Let me know what other information you require? I'm not that technical, so I may need some guidance as to where to find more information.

Pro CS4 Media Encoder vs Sorenson Squeeze Quality?

Guys,
When outputting a video to Flash (for this discussion, let's assume Flash V8, medium size.....with the Web as the target audience), does anyone have experience using both PProCS4 Media Encoder and Sorenson Squeeze---being able to comment of the quality of each? Is CS4 Media Encoder doing as good a job (apples to apples) as Sorenson Squeeze would do? For general info, they want SD video in 4:3 ratio.
I've want to provide the best quality video I can to a client who is selling web training for a professional methodology. They are using video to provide additional visual support to their audio segments.
TIA,
jd

I purchased Squeeze after the release of CS4, the Adobe Media Encoder was fine in CS3. I noticed after installing CS4 that the end product (usually Quicktime, AVI, Mpeg-2 DVD and BluRay for me) was soft and fuzzy. I dug around various forums and found that many had this issue with the AME in CS4 and saw Sorenson Squeeze highly recommended. It should be noted that I use a Matrox RT.X2 card with my CS3 and now CS4 environment. I now export out an uncompressed i-Frame Matrox AVI and bring it into Squeeze and it works great.
I am finding the same issue in a non-Matrox project. We are doing a spot now that was shot in DVCPRO-HD. The image is gorgeous in PP, however when I use the AME, the resulting file is soft and dull.
Question to anyone who can help. In a non-Matrox project, what can I use to get it into Squeeze? With my Matrox projects, the uncompressed Matrox export bypassed the AME and gave me a clean image to bring into Squeeze. In my current non-Matrox DVCPRO-HD project I tried uncompressed AVI but it reduced my size to 720x480, and it reduced the quality. How do I get my footage out of Premiere and into Squeeze without using the AME?
Thanks,
Marty

Does The New CS4 Media Encoder Seem Slow?

I selected some B-Roll that was shot in P2 1080i and brought it into a standard definition project. I scaled it to about 44% and sped up one timelapse segment by about 900%. The resulting length was about 8 minutes.
Transcoding this 8 minute sequence into 720x480 NTSC With the CS4 Media Encoder is taking over 3 hours! This is on a system with an Intel Q6600 processor.
Has anyone else noticed that the new Media Encoder seems slower? I don't think it uses existing render files like previous versions of Premiere.

"DV project. If you have three clips AND THE 2ND ONE is color corrected then you do a 'preview render' that 2nd clip is rendered to dv so it will play real time in your timeline. Then when you render out to DVD clip 2 is rendered yet again to Mpeg-2. It has been rendered twice, it a second generation image unlike CLIP 1 AND 3 WHICH are still first generation before the Mpeg encoding"
Sorry typing faster than my brain. Sorry trying to get work done and help people got the better of my fingers brain. The above is corrected with the corrected in CAPS.
In a nutshell when you use preview files your telling the computer to use files that have already lost a generation to make your edit faster.
If you edit DV the preview renders the effect (or whatever) to whatever is set in the sequence files. So a new DV file is made, which is rendered into an MPEG (or quicktime, Blu-ray whatever).
"But if you are saying that re-render renders the already rendered preview clip, I believe that you may be in error. I thought re-render ignored the previews and looked to the source file(s) again. Am I wrong?"
Yes your wrong because your assuming the preview render was done in the format your outputing in AME. If re-render 'ignored the previews and looked for the source file(s) again' there wouldn't be any render to 're-render'.
The Preview render renders a new file based on your media codec (dv to dv, HDV to i-frame. dvcpro to dvcpro). It has no way of knowing what your final setting in AME are going to be. So preview files are double rendered.

Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
what can I do?

Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

CS4 Media Encoder doesn't render Quicktime at all

The CS4 Media Encoder will render H.264 and FLV, but doesn't render any form of Quicktime at all.
The Queue loads the project, pretends to render, but does not show progress frames. Seconds later (way too early!) there is a green checkmark that the render completed successfully. The log file looks successful with essentially the same content as for H.264 and FLV.
For example this log file shows a 1-minute sequence "rendered" in 30 seconds -- normally takes 3 minutes -- and no .mov was created.

>always save the project before you export
Very good advice.
I would also say, save your project after any edit that you feel you can't afford to lose.

CS4 Media Encoder Presets

Does anyone know if CS5 Media Encoder Presets are compatible with CS4 Media Encoder?
http://blogs.adobe.com/ktowes/2010/10/new-encoding-settings-for-multiple-screens-using-ado be-media-encoder-cs5.html
Thanks

The solution! :)
Now I only have one of these two folders containing all presets. The "other folder" is a symbolic link to this folder using this tool:
http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html
Now it doesn't matter whether I am defining a preset in Premiere or in AME. It works fine!

Bridge (& Prelude & Media Encoder) included in a Premiere-only account?

Hi!
I have a full CC account myself, but for a client of mine, I'm looking into different accounts. A production company I work for, is going to make the transition to Adobe CC. Because I have years of experience using it, they have asked me to oversee the operation. Now, as they don't need the full CC for all their workstations, I was thinking to install Premiere-only accounts on some of their sets. On the master workstation, there will be a full CC account so that After Effects and Photoshop and everything else are available, but on the others there only has to be Premiere Pro installed.
But are programs like Bridge, Prelude and Media Encoder available in a Premiere-only account? I can imagine it would be Premiere Pro + support programs. But there is no info on that to be found. Can anyone say something about this?
Thanks, Bart

Installing just Premiere will probably no problem. Have had setups like that on several machines, and it never was a problem. Less possibilities, that's true, but for editing it works just fine.
Before CC, Bridge was a 'free' program you could download if you had Photoshop, Premiere or something else. AME indeed came with the production bundle, but you could use it on as many machines as you liked, without a license. The same with Bridge, you didn't need a license. Since it became part of CC, I never bothered anymore on my own sets. But now, for the situation mentioned above, I'd like to know if I can still use bridge as 'complementary' feature for archiving footage...

CS4 Media Encoder

Like many others, I have encountered a problem with CS4 Media Encoder upon start up. It quits unexpectedly.

Kurt

Me too. Sometimes it works. Sometimes, even the smallest file will crash the ENTIRE COMPUTER and it will force restart itself. I have tried it with h.264 and MPEG2-DVD, and both have crashed it.
I thought it might be overheating my MacBook Pro, so I have been watching the temperatures. The CPU gets almost to 200f. The process viewer shows encoder process average around 167%.
It is unfortunate because when it does work, it actually makes very pristine encodes.
I also tried updating the licensing through a FLEX update, as the console was reporting the same message over and over again. That message has stopped, but the crashing has not.
My fans run constantly when watching training videos on Adobe's site, and the computer never crashes. So I assume it is not a heat problem. That said, I don't know whether the CPU or the GPU are responsible for video playback. In other words, if the GPU does playback, and the fans go on, it isn't getting hot enough to shutdown. If the CPU does does playback, and is causing the fans to go on, I would think that the computer would shut down just as it does when Media Encoder is encoding and causing the CPU to get hot.
At this point my hunch is that Media Encoder is causing some sort of kernel panic, causing the computer to restart. But this is just a stab in the dark.

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 CS4 Media Encoder AVIs and Encore Encoding Errors

For some reason, I'm having trouble creating DVD's in Encore from AVI's exported from Premiere CS4. When encoding starts, Encore immediately pops up with an "encoding error". I now, all of a sudden get this identical error on two of our systems.
Most of the time Encore works if I export an "MP2" file from the Premiere CS4 timeline.
Any of you guys having trouble with Encore CS4? To me it has been a lot more buggy and unreliable than any previous version. The program also seems sluggish on our Q6600 4gGB RAM computers! Kind of like the program is straining just to open its windows.
Another thing that is annoying. Earlier in the day, I exported a Flash Web video for a client's review. A few hours later I had to make a 1 hour and 46 minute DVD with chapters for a client that had to be Fed Ex'd overnight. It took forever to complete and I soon realized that Encore defaulted back to the last export...FLASH! cr@p. I would prefer that the program defaulted to standard DVD creation. After all it is Encore DVD.

I'm having major problems with Media Encoder CS4.
When I try to create an AVI file (for example) from a section of my Premiere Pro CS4 timeline, the encoder opens, takes forever to load the project, and then, after I hit start queue button, it again takes forever to load the project in the small window at the bottom of the display.
Finally the "waiting" message in the queue list turns to an orange exclamation mark with the message that encoder "could not read from the source. PLease check if it has been moved or deleted." Which of course it has not been. THis happens even if I preview the section in advance in Premiere. material.
If at any point I hit the settings button it simply reloads the project

CS4 Media Encoder vs Premiere

Hi, i converted an MOV file in Media Encoder to WMV 9 wih a perfect result. If i add the MOV file to premiere and change the Audio level to +6db (no more changes) and encode it with the same parameters the quality is really bad, especially with still pictures (text) - any Idea ? Thank you !!

Thats weird . I can only suggest raising the bit rate.
As an after thought. Are you using the "Use Preview files" option in AME for your encode or not. Try it both ways.

CS4 Media Encoder freezes on importing Premiere Project
