Export media issue - Premiere Pro CS4

Using the file>export>media. I want to bounce my whole project down to AVI and Im getting errors from Media Encoder CS4. See below.........

I got the same type of error from attempting an audio only export. I just upgraded from CS3. This project was crated in CS3, then converted to CS4. No other issues with the upgrades. My only guess is that converting the session from a CS3 to CS4 is the causing this. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for those details. I just noticed that all the avi and wavs are still located in the CS3 folder from the previous installation. Could that be the hitch?
This project was created in CS3, then converted 2 days ago into a CS4 project. There was some wierdness on a few things after conversion, but nothing out of the ordinary and CS4 is running like a champ on my system until I attempted to do this bounce. I am new to Premiere, so I may be missing something as simple as updating filepaths, etc.?
Yes, MP3 is terrible. I have the v.o. in wav. Honestly, I didnt notice the music track was in MP3 until gathering project specs for this. I was planning on replacing that for the final export. Im using a 3rd party sidechain VST for the ducking in PPro.....Sidekick 4.1: http://www.twistedlemon.nl/site/
It requires tht you run two instances of the plugin on seperate stereo tracks (still need to deal with the vo track having to be in stereo for now).
Thanks for your help.

Cannot export media from Premiere Pro CS4

I am unable to export media from premiere pro cs4. The process I go through is as follows
select files/sequence I want to export
select file menu
scroll down to export
select media
nothing happens, premiere pro "freezes", as though it was going to open up adobe media encoder but does nothing, premiere pro can be "unfrozen" simply by pressing esc.
I have tried doing all of this with media encoder open and still nothing happens. if anyone has any suggestions please throw them my way. thanks.

Format of file Exported by SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs4

Hi
I am trying to build a plugin which can use a custom codec to export an imported video to h264 format.
The codec which i have to use converts a YUV420 raw video to h264 format. As given in the Premiere SDK Guide
the SDK Exporter supports uncompressed 8-bit RGB with or without alpha, and packed
10-bit YUV (v410). The initial rendering is performed by the RenderVideoFrame() function call which is called in RenderAndWriteVideoFrame().
This is then converted using various calls like ConvertFrom8uTo32f(), ConvertFromBGRA32fToVUYA32f(), and ConvertFrom32fToV410().
The problem i m facing is that i m not able to verify if the RenderVideoFrame() is working correctly and the format in which it writes.
Is there any way to check using any media player that can play the exported video. Unless i know the exact(correct) exported format
i wont be able to convert it to the required YUV420 format that i need.
Also if i dont use the ConvertFrom functions and use only the video stream written by RenderVideoFrame, can u specify clearly the format
and any media player which can play it, so as to check the working.
Thanks
Agam

Zac do you have any charts on what the pixel formats each filter supports?
If you use quirky filters (Adobe or 3rd party) you know they implemented with the mandated pixel format (BGRA_4444_8u) but probably no others. The result is that no matter what the importer/workflow/compiler combo you think you're working in you are forced to use BGRA_4444_8u from that point on in the workflow. - so much for "native" DV, HDV, MPEG2, MPEG4, CineForm, RED, etc etc etc.
Can you provide a list of what PixelFormats the Adobe filters support?
It would great to see it for CS5|4|3 & Prem Pro 2.0*
Eg:     FILTER      PIXELFORMATS
     MOTION     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     BLUR          BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     XXXXXX     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     YYYYYY     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
That would be a fantastic table for the user to have. That way you know when you're forcing the workflow from the native import pixelformat type (and colorspace for that matter) back to 8bit RGBA. (and potentially loosing 10bit quality and screwing up the colorspace of rec601 and rec709).
I mention Premiere Pro 2.0 because it was the last version that processed the Timeline single threaded and thus the last version that single-threaded filters can be used on. 'fortunately plugins intended for later versions of Premiere will work with it because Prem Pro 2.0 understands the version 8 API of CS3 and CS4.
For this reason (legacy plugins) I'm in the process of pulling some plugins from CS3 into the Prem Pro directory to see it they work. I'm willing to do that even though the filter I want to use is BGRA_4444_8u only. - the filter is THAT important to me.
Sidenote: this is why I'm SO disappointed with CS5. Forcing plugins to be 64bit has killed the use of hundreds of 3rd party plug-ins created over the last 20 years - many of which are End Of Life and thus will only ever be 32bit. I would have been a lot happier to have CS5 implement proxy editing (ie OffLine editing) and then on Export click a button to use the Online (ie full res) material instead. That feature would have allowed v fast timeline rendering (with or without CUDA) and much lower requirements on cpu/gpu and storage. In the few instances that you need to edit in native 2k or 4k etc then sure do it but I bet 90% of the time you can work in 1080p or lower to get your movie produced.

Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

First, all the system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
But now, two things happen:
1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
Huh?
Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
Multiplexer Tab:
choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
Video Tab:
Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
Quality: increase it to the max of 5
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
Render at Maximum Depth box checked
Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
Audio Tab:
Audio Format: Dolby Digital
Codec: Dolby Digital
Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
Thus the primal scream.
The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it. :-)
P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep. In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
Help. Please. :-)

After Effects are not visible when exporting in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

I have made a simple name/title bar for an interview video, using Adobe After Effects. When i import the composition to Premiere Pro it's visible in the preview window BUT; when I render the video in Premiere Pro the After Effects clip is not visible anymore. AND when i export the complete sequence to a .wmv file, the After Effects clip is not visible either.
I'm not that much of an expert in Premiere Pro or After Effetcs, so hopefully this can easily be solved.
What is it that i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

The names are the same, but the programs are very different... CS4 is 32bit, CS5 and later is completely rewritten to be 64bit
So, there is a different forum for CS4 and earlier http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=all

I need help export on dvd premiere pro cs4

Hi, I am a new consumer of Premiere Cs4 and I need help. I have used, in my life, only simple authoring programs as well as Pinnacle studio and now I have some problems with Premiere. I hope that someone help me and it answer my simple questions.
1) In studio I knew, in real time, how much space the project occupied on the DVD but in premiere? How I can know speedily how much space occupied my project? I have noticed that the space occupied is visualized in encore but it is the unique methods for to have this information?
2) Because the space occupied from the project not change when I change the preference of project? An example: I create a project and I export it in encore. I set bitrate 8 and the project occupied 50mb. If I change the bitrate, an example 6, the space occupied not change! Why?
thanks

Projects don't have a bitrate. You choose your desired bitrate when you export.
You will find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

Trouble working with tapeless media in Premiere Pro CS4?

I am using a Samsung SC-HMX20C HD tapless camcorder that records in 1080i (60i). I am editing on a Dell T3400 with Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q95550 at 2.83GHz, with 3GB of RAM. I am able to import video in both AVCHD and HDV, but when I go to play it in Premiere Pro, my source monitor goes green, and Pro freezes up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Excellent suggestion. I checked my file info. for the video clip, and it said I recorded it as an HDV MP4. Is there another way to find out for sure?

Cannot Export to .mov - Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
I've been having this problem for a while and I cannot find a soultion for it. When I try to export a sequence as Quicktime (.mov), the Adobe Media Encoder opens but what I was trying to export does not appear in the render queue. It's completely empty. I also have After Effects CS4 and I can export to Quicktime fine there.
Any ideas what might be causing the export to not appear in the render queue?

Sound problems after export media in premiere pro cs6

hello,
i recently started usining premiere c6 and after exported my project to mpeg-dvd i noticed that sound quality is reasonably lost, than exported sound separatedly without video to wav and result was the same bad. The imported sound source was really good, recorded in studio- wav 24 bit 48000. Before i used cs3 and never had such a sound problem after export video.
thank you very much,
Poly

It's difficult to speculate without hearing the original and the export. Can you upload them?

SDK_Exporter_params.cpp in SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs4

This question is regarding the code in
exSDKGenerateDefaultParams(exportStdParms                *stdParms,
                                         exGenerateDefaultParamRec    *generateDefaultParamRec) function
The below function is called in the above function's code
exportInfoSuite->GetExportSourceInfo(    exporterPluginID,
                                                kExportInfo_VideoFrameRate,
                                                &seqFrameRate);
to get info for videoframerate in seqFrameRate
Then seqFrameRate.mFloat64 is compared with different values in the code segment
if(timeSuite)
     timeSuite->GetTicksPerSecond (&ticksPerSecond);
     if (seqFrameRate.mFloat64 > 29.97f &&
            seqFrameRate.mFloat64 < 29.98f ||
            seqFrameRate.mFloat64 < 0.1f ||
            seqFrameRate.mFloat64 > 60.0f) // Strange values fall into this case
            timeSuite->GetTicksPerVideoFrame(kVideoFrameRate_NTSC, &seqFrameRateTicks);
for assigning the appropriate value to seqFrameRateTicks
The problem i m facing is that the value of seqFrameRate.mFloat64
is coming out to be zero(why?).
Also, since the type of ticksPerSecond and seqFrameRateTicks
is PrTime(which is a 64 bit int), i want to know what will be the best way
to convert them into other 32 bit values(int, float etc).
Thank You
Agam

Hi Agam,
This code in the CS4 SDK was written for the initial 4.0 release, where GetExportSourceInfo(kExportInfo_VideoFrameRate) originally returned a float value. In 4.0.1, this was changed (to be simpler for developers) to return a PrTime value. So in the CS5 SDK release, the code now looks like this:
exportInfoSuite->GetExportSourceInfo(
    exporterPluginID,
kExportInfo_VideoFrameRate,
&seqFrameRate);
frameRateValues.value.timeValue = seqFrameRate.mInt64;
So it now uses the mInt64 member of the union, because PrTime is a 64-bit int.
To convert PrTime to a float, the SDK Guide, chapter 3, section on Time, reads: "When a frame rate is represented as a PrTime, the frame rate is the number of ticks in a frame duration. The current number of ticks per second must be retrieved using the callback in the Time Suite." So just divide the PrTime value by the ticks per second returned by GetTicksPerSecond().
Cheers

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 - Export issue.

Hello to the Adobe Community!
Maybe someone here can help me out with some Premiere issues.
I am using Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1.
I'm on Windows 7 64 (Ultimate N).
My system is:
Intel Core i5CPU [email protected]
3GB RAM
I have updated all Adobe software, and my drivers.
I've had a good look over the forums and I found this article. It's very useful, and hoping it would be my saviour, I went through all the advice given.
Still no luck!
I'm trying to export the media from Premiere to Media Encoder.
My sequence settings are:
1280 x 720
Square pixel aspect ratio
25fps
48000HZ - Stereo
My render settings are:
MPEG2 - DVD
PAL HIGH QUALITY
Everything else is left to the default setting.
When I try to encode via the Media Encoder, it gets to about 1/3rd of the way through and I get a message:
'Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I have also tried, as per previous posts, to use the Adobe Dynamic Link, both from Premiere out to Encore, and importing in from Premiere when I'm in Encore.
Still no luck! I get an 'encode failed' message when I try to transcode it. I'm pulling out my hair with this one.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
NB: This is my first post on this forum, so apologies if I have missed anything out.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Em.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions - Evan I think you might be right on the memory issue.
I tried one last thing - running Premiere in compatibility mode as an administrator.
Again, it failed after about 7 minutes. It's quite a complicated project, but it's only 14 minutes long.
The strange thing is that although it doesn't seem to render on my work pc, it renders on my home pc, which has similar specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 760 2.8GHZ 8MB
MEMORY: 4GB (2x2GB) PC12800 DDR3/1600mhz Dual Channel Memory
MOTHERBOARD: Asus P7P55-M Intel P55 Chipset
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
I forgot to say that my work pc, listed above uses an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card.
Do you think that 1GB can really make all the difference?
Sorry if that's a stupid question, I don't have a massive amount of technical knowledge.
Cheers!
Em.

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error. Is there a way to go around this step? Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality? Anything I can do?
Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
Thank you

as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
1.) system
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) OE
5.) Bugs
This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
Good luck,
Hunt

PREMIERE PRO CS4 CRASHES every time I try to export to media....

Import a file in whatever format (MPEG 2, MPEG 4, AVI, etc.), I add effects (or leave the file untouched) and then try to export it to MEDIA...Then Premiere Pro CS4 crashes giving me this error:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[..\..\Scr\Component\ComponentFactory.cpp-119]
After pressing "continue" it brings another message:
Sorry, a serious error has ocurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We wil attempt to save your current project.
I press OK and the Crash Report dialog box appears....
I installed Premiere Suite 3 weeks ago and I have never used this software before....Premiere has never allowed me to export any file...
My Lap Top has Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 with NVidia GT 130 1 GB video card, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB of HD and 1920 x 1080 P display...
Any advice? or somebody who has had the same problem?
Thanking you for your time and courtesies in assisting me, please receive my best regards.

Premiere Pro CS4 "Export Settings" window does not show up.

Hello,
I've run into a new problem with Premiere Pro CS4. Basically, when I select "File > Export > Media" my Export Settings window doesn't show up. If I click on the Premiere window I hear the beeping sound and nothing happens, if I hit Enter the Export Data window pops up and then Media Encoder opens. So, it seems that my Export Settings window is still open but I can't see it and make the necessary setting changes. It does not appear to be minimized and I can not locate it on my desktop anywhere. This is really frustrating because I was able to see the Export Settings window just a few weeks ago when I was exporting my last project. I've tried changing my screen resolutions but that didnt reveal the Export Settings window.
Does anyone know what is going on here and, more importantly, how I can fix it? I am really stuck here and am working against a deadline. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
-Ben

Ben,
THANK YOU!!!! For two days I have been struggling with the exact same issue. And of course it was simple to fix, if I had just thought about it. Thank you for taking the time to post your experience. I had tried all sorts of stuff trying to get everything onto my #1 monitor, with desktop & workspace resets, resizing my display, etc. After reading and printing your post,
Hitting ALT+Space,
Down Arrow,
Enter,
and then pressing the left arrow and watching my Export window slide into view, I was laughing so hard, that I was tearing up. It would have been a month waiting for my second monitor to get repaired to get to see what was still being displayed on this ghost monitor. Each week, I video and edit our church's service and then post three versions (Windows Media Player, Ipod-MP4, MP3 Audio) of it to our web site. I would have been four weeks behind were it not for your post.
Again, a BIG Thank You!!!

Adobe Media Encoder for Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

I currently have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these issues exporting before. My timeline is less than 3 minutes long, but it does deal with multiple big files. It rendered perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export it using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually only a few seconds in!) and then crashes, so that I have to force quit. I have tried exporting it as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried creating a new project entirely and whipping together a few titles and exporting that to see if it just won't export anything at all. The new project exported just fine, however, which I suppose is good news. But yeah, my work on that other project is very important to me and I reallllly want to export it. Please help!

Hi Jim! Thank you for your reply. I think you are right -- and that it lies in the audio somehow!
It turns out that if I choose to only export the video, and uncheck audio, it will export very well and smoothly. That's great news for me!
However, now I am trying to work out how to get the audio exported without issues. I actually had the idea of just playing the audio in the timeline and recording it via Stereo Mix, but my Windows 7 driver has Stereo Mix disabled, so it's back to square one. Any ideas of what I can do about the corrupted audio not exporting, which works fine when played in the timeline?
