Adobe Media Encoder stops responding

I have Adobe CS4 master collection installed here and I've run into a serious problem trying to get it Adobe Media Encoder to do what it's meant to do...encode.
I export the project and in the initial export options window I can set everything up. I proceeed to Adobe media Encoder to finish the job and it opens and shows my video in the que, however, when I click to change the preset, or even click to start rendering, Adobe Media Encoder will simply hang forever. It just stops responding. It never used to do this.
I'm running an intel core2quad q8400 @2.66gHz
on fully updated windows 7 professional, 32 bit.
Nvidia geForce 8400 GS,
3.25 Gig useable RAM
It's not project-specific because i've tried it with another project and it does the same thing. Tried restarting, tried to reinstall Premiere pro and adobe media encoder, tried to reinstall the entire creative suite, tried the premiere-shortcut-in-the-dynamic-link-folder thing...I'm at wits end and I nearing deadline.
Anybody out there who might have conquered this problem under similiar circumstances? Please help...

When I was having this problem, I ended up having to search the entire
sequence for the problem area, a video or image that was causing the encoder
to fail. After narrowing it down to a certain section of the timeline, I
worked through elimination to find the problem video, removing one video,
image or image sequence at a time and encoding the problem area again....on
the two occasions I've had to do this, I found one corrupt video and one
large sequence of images that, which for some reason the encoder didn't
like...re-encoding the problem video and putting it back into the project
solved it for me.

I have been using CS6 for two years without incident. Suddenly the Media Encoder stops working, showing APPCRASH and displaying error message about WatchFolder.dll - I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail - can anyone help

I am using a PC Windows 7

Media Encoder stopped working: Software is not even opening [CS6]

Hi!
I'm using the Student version of CS6 and for some reason Media Encoder stopped working.
Every time I open it up, e.g. by opening the Stand alone version or adding a project to the queue, the splash screen shows up but Windows (7) shows an error.
Windows is trying to fix the problem but can find a solution.
Surprisingly I have no problems on another user account.
I hope someone is able help me...
(And sorry for the bad English)

Please try holding Ctrl + Shift keys while you are launching AME CS6. This will clear the preferences info which may have been corrupted somehow.

Problem- Adobe Media Encoder Stopping Mid Queue

I was exporting my final movie, which was about 60 minutes. It was taking a long time to render when exporting to a quicktime file, which I expected, however, the Adobe Media Encoder stopped the rendering an hour later, only rendering half before shutting down. I am exporting it as a widescreen, NTCS DV Widescreen. Could have I screwed up the format and that is why it's failing to complete the exporting??? What can I do to solve this and have it complete the export. At the end of the report is says disk is full. But I know my hard drive could not be full.

FAT-32 is your problem. DO NOT FORMAT!!!!!
You want Convert. That is very, very different. Back in properties, look for the Volume Label of your drive. Copy down this label exactly like it appears. Capitalization is important. Get it right.
You will need to then use a CMD Prompt command to Convert.
To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
Open the Command Prompt window.
In the command prompt window, typeconvert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format.
Notes
To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.
Again - DO NOT FORMAT!
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe CS6 Media Encoder encoding 4K video

When will Adobe CS6 media encoder be upgraded to process 4K video or encode into h.265?

There will be no changes to Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0). That is a version that is several versions behind the current version, Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.1 (8.1).
Regarding changes to the current version:

Adobe Media Encoder stopped working in this project, works in others

Adobe Media Encoder just stopped working in my current project (in PPRO CS3). I'd output several MPEG2-DVD and Windows Media Files. Then I went to make one more MPEG2-DVD file, and when I clicked OK in AME, nothing happened. It should open a window to select where I want to put the file, and a few more options. No crash, no freeze, no error messages..and no output.
None of the AME formats work (WMF, Quicktime, etc). But other exports do work. I made my MPEG2-DVD file using Export to Encore.
I opened another project I'm working on, and AME does work in that project.
Back to my current project, and it still doesn't work.
I've rebooted, and uninstalled-reinstalled PP CS3.
Anyone fixed this? Thanks!

After some more playing, I discovered that the other sequences in this project do still export using AME. So I made a new sequence, copied all the media from the problem sequence into the new one, and it exports OK. I lose fairly extensive Encore chapter marking, but that's a minor problem. No way to "cut and paste" chapter markers, I don't suppose?
For curiosity value, if I make a duplicate of the problem sequence, all the media in the duplicate sequence has a red bar (unrendered) except for the parts that have already been rendered, which have a green bar. This is straight transferred DVCam media and shouldn't need rendering. If I add some new video to the sequence, it gets a red bar too. Bizarre. Oh, and it won't export.
I tried a few other tricks with the original problem sequence: delete all media, and replace with one new short clip; delete the chapter markers; shorten the work area bar to just a few seconds and try to export "work area only"; turn off tracks; deselect either audio or video in AME... nothing worked to make this sequence export.
I also tried making a whole new project, and importing this one into it. Nothing changes - the problem sequence still wont' export, a copy of it leaves all media "unrendered..." exact same trouble as the original project. But it was while playing with this new project that I discovered that my other sequences did export, leading me back to the original project. That should have been the first or second thing I checked. Brain-dead Sunday.
Conclusion: something corrupt in the sequence, but darned if I can figure out what. Not the media. Not the chapter markers. There's code in the sequence itself, and I guess that must be it.
Enough time wated on this project. Thanks, all!

CS4 MEDIA ENCODER (not responding) please help...

I'm working with a PC VISTA home premiere 4gb ram, Nvidia gt 220 GPU, dual core, and CS4 MASTER SUITE.
Used PREMIERE PRO CS4 to capture NTSC dv widescreen footage (from DVX100B)
Used CS4 AFTER EFFECTS for GRAIN & TITLE GRAPHICS and rendered each clip as a QUICKTIME (newest version) .MOV animated file.
SAVED RENDERED CLIPS TO a 1TB external hard drive...connected to pc via usb...not esata yet...
IMPORTED RENDERED .MOV files into PREMIERE PRO and EDITED together a nice SEQUENCE just over 3min in length.
EXPORTED TO MEDIA (used serval different export settings with the same result) SEQUENCE FILE PULLS UP IN ENCODER and I click START QUE
and it trys to load then (not responding) freezing MEDIA ENCODER where I have to reboot...due the task manager wont shut it down.
Everything I have tried (Current Updates Installed, Video Card drivers updated, Re installed Premiere Pro, quicktime update, ENCODER update) is not working.
1) Are my .MOV files to large? ( what is a good size for a .mov) they range from 60-500MB
2)I read some forums about debugging and corrupt .dll files (please advise if the makes sense)
3) How do I run a clean script...will that help?
4) I HAVE A BUNCH of audio files .wav and aaf files...in the squence are they loading it down?
and thank you...hope I described the problem well enough.

Alirght my ENCODER IS NOT WORKING...a week later...I have compressed my HUGE 50-650mb clips to tiny FLV files...MY CS4 ENCODER cant encode more than 2 clips on the CS4 PPR sEquence...just says status: waiting then I hit >start queue and it freezes >not responding
every once and a while it will unfreeze (2% of the time actually) and encoding a file...
TROUBLE SHOOTING HELP
I dont have a previous copy of cs3 installed (never installed on this pc)
I have rebuilt my project in a small compress FLV and AVI formats.
I have unistalled and reinstalled twice.
I have cleared my media encoder 4.0 from my app data roaming file

Media encoder STOPS ENCODING!! help!

I am encoding my premier pro project in Media encoder, but it stops encoding every time. It happends on different locations, its not in the same spot every time. I had sooo much problem with permiere cc.
Any one knows a solution to this???
I am exporting H.264 HD 1080p 25
I really need to get my project done

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 stops encoding at the end of the video (Premiere CC 2014)

I've finished editing a video (just under 4 minutes). When I try to export it to a windows media file (HD 1080p) it always stops encoding at around the 50% mark.
I have tried exporting to a shared network drive as well as the local hard drive with the same results.
I have it set to: Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
I have tried to export directly from Premiere and from Media Encoder.
I looked at where it stops when exporting from Encoder through the preview window. It seems to reach the end of the video and stops right where I fade out to white and the music ends. The interesting part it that the timer shows 50% left to complete
It doesn't crash... it just sits there with the timer increasing and never continues
I'm not using any plugins.
At the point where it stops, I have a "Dip to White" transition on the one video clip and no audio transitions applied to the soundtrack since it ends nicely with the video.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can/should explain to get some help. Thank you so much for your help.

Media Encoder stops encoding but doesn't stop running!

What I mean by this is,
I set up a bunch of files to begin encoding into various different forms, carefully check the settings and hit the go/run/play button and things kick off nicely.
Using the Dynamic Link option to encode right out of Premiere Pro CC project sequences.
Trouble is that occasionally I will return to the machine to see that the current file is still encoding and it's taking way longer than expected. On closer look though, the thumbnail is not moving and the remaing time is just slowly going up and up.
AME shows that all is well and it seems to be working but actually nothing is happening and I have to stop the process, reload the files and start all over again!
Time is precious right now and I can't trust AME to do the job!
Anyone else had this experience?
Formats I am encoding into: H.264 for BluRay; H.264 for Web; Mpeg2 for DVD. Use a mix of VBR 2-pass for the physical discs and CBR for the web (as this is what Vimeo recommend). Shorter files of about 15-20mins or less seem to have more luck than any file over 30mins.
Any help greatlly appreciated.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply.
It doesn't appear to be the problem though. The encode I have running at the moment has been going for the last 13 hours and in the last two hasn't once got any further along!
Current elapsed time for a 30 minute film going to MPG2 is 13 hours and 18 minutes! Seems a touch excessive for just muxing!
Any other ideas? Would be really grateful for any advice as Adobe Media Encoder is becoming very unreliable and I have tonnes of encoding to do!
Many thanks

CS6-Media Encoder Fails on long (1hr +) H.264 render

Windows 7 - 64 Bit. 8 GBs RAM
Adobe Pr and other programs on C: internal Plenty of hard disk space left 300+GBs
External high speed 7200 RPM RAID 1 where the media is stored.
External high speed 7200 RPM Non RAID drive for rendering to be written to.
Both drives are eSata.
CS6 Pr and Media Encoder 6.0.0.382 (OP update: It appears that has been an update to this version, I am going to download the updates and see if that fixes this.)
FOLLOW UP: It appears that the update did fix the problem. I have multiple workstations and was under the impression I had updated them all. I have not fully tested this yet, but for now, I consider it fixed.
Footage is a single capture of a lecture. 1 hr. 20 minutes.
Shot on Canon xf105 in MXF format at 1280x720 23.976p (US)
Footage goes together fine (many multiple file clips 'chained' or butted up against one another, as is done when you shoot a continuous take)
The footage plays fine in Pr in final form for export.
No special effects. one dissolve (intro title slide to lecture)
Reproduceable problem:
i export to Media Encoder.
I choose H.264 and Vimeo Wide Screen SD 23.976
The file exports about 2/3rds of the way, not the same place each time, and fails with no definitive error message. The log shows, "Export Error: Error compiling movie. Unknown error."
Rendered file to external drive (have more than one, have tried it on two, with same results)
All drives have plenty of disk space on them.
I tried cleaning the Media Encoder Media Cache. Same result.
I tried moving the cache files to an almost empty external disk. No change.
I broke the video into a 10 minute segment, it rendered just fine with the same settings.
This seems to be a bug in Media Encoder. Is there a fix for this? A workaround? My client would like a single long file of the presentation.
Could the 8 GBs of RAM be an issue? Not sure why it would. Or is this a known bug for Media Encoder?
I also had a second job today, similar in that I needed to take 6 multiple takes of the same person, drop them onto a timeline and render it to Vimeo for them to review. same issue. Got 13'05" into the compile and it failed. So something is odd. I have compiled much longer footage before, that was done with this camera.

If you have done a complete reinstall, and ran the Adobe CleanScript CS5 (that is the latest), then a Repair Install should not be needed - it would do nothing.
For info, to do a Repair Install, one would insert the installation disc. When the installer module has loaded, it will survey one's system. If it finds the Adobe program(s), it will ask if you wish to Uninstall, or Repair Install. When one chooses Repair Install, it surveys the system again, for that program, and will replace, or correct any issues. This is usually MUCH faster, than doing an uninstall/reinstall.
Good luck, and not sure what else could be the cause.

What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself
ATI Driver Autodetect http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Do you have dual graphics adapters?
Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
IF YES, read below
