CS4 Premiere Export Media - Encoder

Hallo,
could anybody help me whats wrong wiht my settings. Im exporting the video, but the exported video is shrinked/cropped whatever, i.e. its shown only as a mini-window of the displayed player window size... i.e. How do I get rid of the thick black frame of the exported video image ?

Thank you. I think I found the problem. At the beginning I had just chosen the wrong sequence Preset (where for example frame size, audio sampling are completely different than th source).
I solved this, just by opening a new sequence with the right preset. I already had the movie cut, so I copy&pasted the video cuts into the oter sequence.

CS4 - Premiere Pro - Media Encoder

I have a very basic question. When you are exporting something using the media encoder, is it alright to go online or do other things on your computer while it is running?

The ability to effectively multi-task will likely depend on the power of the computer (and how its resources are allocated), and what is involved in the Multi-tasking. For Web browsing, things should be OK.
Now, when editing, I curtail programs and processes, like anti-virus, pop-up blockers and spy sweeping on that machine, so I will grab another machine with those items active (but I am on a PC), rather than expose myself to "nasties." On the Mac, you have fewer concerns in that area.
Like Jim, I try to use Transcoding/Export time to do other things, but will usually just do those on another computer. Got an Export going on right now, on the workstation, so I'm on the patio with the laptop - not quite the same thing, as you describe. However, I will often work in PS, or AI, while AME is chugging away on the same machine. Never had an issue.
Good luck,

Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format.

This is on a Windows 8.1 PC.
The edit exported fine until I made one big mistake.
I created a Nested Edit to make a quick alteration.
Since then the following is now the case and I cannot go back to an earlier edit to fix this.
Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format. Using either the Export Option or Media Encoder. Get a dialog that says "Unknown Error Compiling Movie"
There is nothing wrong with my footage. This edit worked fine and I export through Media Encoder many times until I made a Nested Edit within the Premiere Project.
I have tried all sorts of searches on the net for a fix to this but nothing seems to be current or indeed works.
Any help would be appreciated as this is a show stopper.

Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.
I have found a work around but it still leaves a long term issue for Adobe to fix.
As to your first solution:
1). The nested edit is already in its own timeline panel. It will not export or encode via media encoder. This is the problem.
2). I will try the KEM roll feature but I have a work around see following.
3). No I do not have a nested edit within a nested edit.
I did a lot of research on the net on this issue as it happened to a colleague of mine on his machine about two weeks ago. It took me six hours to get a fix and in his case there were six video clip that had read errors. When I overwrote those clips from the original backup master it fixed the problem. However I was never able to use Media Encoder again to export his project without it failing. I could only use the Export feature. Again he had used a nested edit in his project.
I my case I do not have any nested edits within a nested edit. All I did was drag my main edit onto the New Sequence icon at the bottom of the Project Bin. This of course created a nested edit in a new Timeline Panel which is what I wanted. I then slid the entire nested edit to the right in the timeline by two seconds as all a wanted to do was add two seconds of black at the head of the edit. That was it. From that point of creating the nested edit Media Encoder and the Export option failed every time with the fore mentioned error.
The final work around was one of those I found previous mention of during my research. I created a new clean Premiere Pro CC 2014 project, I then used the import option under the file menu. I imported only the original main edit which brought in that edit along with all the required footage. This would then export to disk using the Export feature. However, Media Encoder will still not encode this new edit, it fails the same way every time, 'Unknown Error Compiling Movie'.
As a test I loaded the old corrupt edit project back up and deleted the nested edit sequence completely and re-saved it. This had no effect and did not fix the problem. This particular project file will no longer export directly or via media encoder at all no matter what I do.
This seems pretty serious to me. I worked on this edit for a whole month without issue, encoding out roughs as a went without any issue, it was only yesterday after I made the nested edit that the project file is now useless as it will not encode out at all. Yes I have a work around and was able to salvage my project and get it rendered in time for my deadline but the fact I have a partially working Project that Media Encoder will not touch does not instill me with confidence for long term use of Premiere Pro if this is going to happen again.
Is there some place I can send this project file to Adobe to see if they can find out what is wrong with it? I am not the only person having this issue I have seen other post going all the way back through CS6 it seems.

Premiere Pro & Media Encoder CS6 exports 0 or 1 kB file

Hello
I'm start using Premiere Pro CS6 on the Company where I work.
When I export the movie to Media encoder, I get 0 or 1kB file.
Original File: MUX: MP4
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 2,8 MB
Image Size: 640 x 360
Frame Rate: 25,00 fps Progressive
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:01:07:01
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
Tried to export (by CTRL+M) in:
MUX: MP4
Protocol: H264
Image Size: 640 x 360
Frame Rate: 25,00 fps Progressive
TV Standard: PAL
Profile: High
Level: 3
Then: Queue
Once Media Encoder is opened:
I tried already these settings:
"Custom" (accepting the settings passed from Premiere to Media Encoder)
"PAL DV Widescreen" that respects what I need
It renders the video (so it looks like)
Then it gives "Done" with a fully green tick.
But when I click on the file name/path to open it, I find it at 0kB ... any suggestion please?

It's a different driver than C it's H and I have about 500 GB free. Consider that the video is really short and the source file is very small and not inHDTV at all as you can see from the data I reported in my entry post.

Encore won't import markers with bluray vid output from Premiere through Media Encoder

I have a sizeable video project, just completed, that needs to be output to DVD and BluRay. DVDs are done, no problem - the three timelines are each exported from Premiere by queueing them in Media Encoder. Side-car .xmp files are produced containing the chapter markers, and it all imports into Encore without issue, chapter markers are there, DVD burns successfully, works on DVD players, all good.
Now for the Blurays.... Same process as before, queueing the same timelines in Media Encoder, this time exporting using the H264 BluRay HD1080i 25 preset, the export works fine, no issues or error messages, but mporting into into Encore (using Import as Asset, Import as Timeline, etc), I get the error:
"Error parsing MPEG metadata file. Deleting or renaming "E:\YourVid\test.m4v.xmpses" will allow you to import, but any markers will be lost."
In other words, the markers file is either failing to export crrectly from Media Encoder, or failing to import correctly into Encore, or both.
I have never had this problem before, but this is the first exporting I have done with the latest versions of Premiere and Media Encoder, ie versions:
Premiere CC: 2014.1 8.1.0 (81) Build
Media Encoder CC: 2014.1 Build 8.1.0.122
Encore CS6: Version 6.0.2.004
... on Win 7 Pro 64bit
Can anyone help? Are other people having this problem? Is this a bug with the latest version of Media Encoder and/or Premiere, or is it just co-incidence and something else is the problem? And most importantly, is there a sensible workaround (ie other than just re-making all the chapter markers in Encore?) Can I export the chapter markers from Premiere into Encore some other way?
Please help!!!

Well, I wanted to play with versions and reverting...
AME version is columns; PR version is rows. The 8.1.0 x 8.1.0 was on my laptop. The rest are desktop, but both are win7. I'm guessing the fault is AME, so I will update AME to 8.1.0 as next step. But no new test till "tomorrow" (even though tomorrow is today!).
PR CC/AME
8.0.0
8.0.1
8.1.0
8.0.0
ok
fail
8.0.1

Latest Premiere and Media encoder CC update shuts down

Latest Premiere and Media encoder CC update shuts down when you load saved file or try to export to media encoder.
I tried restarting after update, next is to revert to previous version.

Every time I've try to export from Premiere Media Encoder gives me this error message that says: Installation error - please ensure this product have been installed properly.
I can't find a way to only reinstall media encoder from CC
It was working fine before the last Premeire update.

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing. How can I trouble shoot this. I have no idea why this is failing. I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

Harm, I followed your advice. I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions. Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software. I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
Thanks for your response.

Premiere and Media Encoder - h264 corrupted encode

Hello all
I'm writing here since I simply cannot find a solution to my problem, recently out of a sudden my adobe premiere and Media encoder have been giving me corrupt h264 encodes, the files apparently encode but adobe does not put them in a container. The .m4v file is unplayable and the same goes for the audio file; here is a sample from MediaInfo:
No matter what sequence or project I try to encode with h264 this happens while I can encode to any other extension/codec with no problems. While using the same project file and the same source files on another computer the encodes finishes without a problem. Even a simple timelapse with just JPEG pictures on the timeline results in this problem. I have no idea what to do but I simply cannot encode with anything else so any help is appreciated (P.S. the 4k resolution here is a timelapse, most encodes I try to do are 1080p @ 25fps, since most people bump at this resolution 1st)
I'm running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.5) updated to the latest on Windows 7 64bit.

How can I get a copy of Premiere and Media Encoder CS6?

I need to be able to convert a video that has an alpha channel into an FLV file for import into Captivate 8. Captivate only works with FLV and MP4, and only FLV has an alpha channel. However, FLV was removed as an option from the CC version of Premiere/Media Encoder.
Supposedly, you can download old versions of the software from the CC desktop app, but I can't. In my CC app, there is no Old Versions option in the Filters, and there is no option to download old versions on the Install buttons, or anywhere else for that matter.
We have the Team version of CC, and our IT dept is switching us over to Enterprise, if that has anything to do with it.
So, is there any way to download and install CS6 versions of Premiere and Media Encoder?

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,
Hunt

Problem exporting with Premiere Pro/Media Encoder CS4

Hey there. I've got 15-minute long movie edited in Premiere. Whenver I've tried rendering/exporting to see what the final product looks like, Media Encoder will usually freeze up about halfway through encoding. The time estimated/time elapsed will freeze, and if I cancel the encoding the program freezes up.
Other times I will get an error that says "encode failed because the source duration is nil". Not sure what that means, but the render arrows in the work area are never set to zero.
Additionally, I've tried exporting different lengths of the project only to have the same results, with Media Encoder failing each time.
Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
My footage is in .mp4 format, and I'm also exporting to the same format. I've got numerous music and voiceover files as well. Resolution when exporting is 1280x720, and the max bitrate is 7.0mbps.
It seems more like a software problem than a lack of adaquate hardware, but I'm running a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit with a 2.0 GHz CPU and 8GB of RAM - I'm not sure how to find out what kind of video card I have.
Thanks for any assistance, it is greatly appreciated!

Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder Problems

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on a Mac running 10.6, and I consistently encounter this problem when trying to export a Premiere project using Adobe Media Encoder.
What does this mean? And has anyone else encountered this problem as well? I really need a fix if there is one, because I really need to be using Premiere. I have reinstalled several times, but to no avail. Help me please!

Jim, thanks for testing.
My concerns are about a)distribution and general b)compatibility.
a) When videos are distributed most of the users will probably try to open the files with Windows Media Player. So it is not a good start to have fresh exported h.264 videos which won't run fine with the 'main' player on windows
b) I am wondering if the Problems with Windows Media Player may also be a sign of a general compatibility issue of the h.264 video itself
At least in case b) Adobe would have to look into this.
Here is another test video:

I takes 70 hours to export a sequence in Premiere Pro/ Media Encoder

Hi,
I am having a lot of trouble with Media Encoder and Premiere Pro CS4. I'm trying to export a sequence that is only 3 minutes long and it's taking 70 hours to export- it usually taked 6 hours or just overnight to export. Below is the screen shots of the settings. Help.Thank you

Thank you for your response and help. I don't think I'm scalling up the frame rate. Attached is some screen shots of the info. Honestly codecs are a bit confusing for me but I think the codec is H.264
What should my bitrate be? It said for maximum quality increase bitrate and honestly I'm really dissatisfied with the quality, it's a HD camera - Canon XA10 and I feel the picture quality isn't up to par with other HD footage I've seen. I'm thinking it's something I'm doing wrong in the post settings somewhere.

Issues rendering Premiere CS4 movie with Media Encoder

I'm new to this but thought that someone might be able to provide some insight. I have Premiere CS4 and created a movie from a HD video camcorder.
The imported clips are in the following format:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Average Data Rate: 1.3 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Now I'm simply trying to export the movie (Ctrl+M) using Media Encoder. I've been messing around with several different formats, including H264, MPEG and AVI and so far regardless of what output format I pick (even downsize) I'm getting some sort of "tearing" up in my clips. I'm not entirely sure how to describe this but it almost looks like a ghost effect with subjects leaving a ghost image when the scene starts moving around a bit.
I rendered the same exact clip using Windows Movie Market just for the sake of it and everything looks fine.
I'm rendering the clip on a Core i7 920 @3.7Ghz with 6GB of RAM so I don't think the speed is an issue as either (HD is a 300GB Velociraptor).
Any ideas what I am doing wrong
Thanks,
Sam

>Any ideas what I am doing wrong

But now when I either do an export from within Premiere or queue via Media Encoder it crashes halfway through. I've tried reinstalling both to no avail. Any idea to why this could be happening and how can I fix it? I'm running Yosemite.
