Exporting from Premiere Pro.  Takes forever for Media Encoder to start.

When I exported a timeline out of PrePro to the Media Encoder and press "Start Queue" it took it over 19 minutes before it began rendering.  Is this normal?

Morning all
Fair point John.
Webshark2000, the orignal poster of this topic, has got Vista 64bit, so he can make use of the more memory.
I understand that memory use for  CS4 is:
Premiere -  2gigs
Encore - 2gigs
Media Encoder - 1 gig
+ Windows and other apps you may have running!
So if you don't have around 5 - 6 gigs ram, Windows will be doing ALOT of paging! Thus slowing the system and render times down.
64Bit and tons of ram -  is the way forward. It rocks with it!
Hope that helps - Shaun

  • Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

    Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
    Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

    Try turning off GPU acceleration.

  • Exporting from Premiere Pro CC 2014

    Hello there,
    Every time that I am willing to export my project my Premiere Pro CC 2014 stop responding all together. I tried the short cut (Commend+M) or going through the Manu bar. the result is the same, Premiere Pro CC 2014 just freezes and does not respond to anything till I force quit it and restart it allover again. I tried exporting from Premiere Pro it self, without using Media Encoder, but the problem remains the same.
    I am using the new Mac Pro. I heard Adobe Premiere Pro is experiencing  problems with the New Mac Pro. Is that true? Or is there other issue?
    Thank you and looking forward to hear back,
    Maruf

    Thank you very much and appreciate your help enormously.
    Since preference files get touched by the application frequently, there is always the possibility of their corruption. When this happens, you start to see what we call "unexpected behaviors" from Premiere Pro. This problem happens infrequently, but it is a good first troubleshooting step to try on your own. This is the case with most every non-linear editing application I have used over the years (Final Cut Pro, Avid, Media 100, etc.).

  • Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

    Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

    OK, so you want to put it on your own web page. That's fine as long as you know how to create a web page.
    The next thing you have to decide is how big do you want the video to appear on the web page. Many people just post on YouTube and then embed the video into their web page. That way, the video can take advantage of all of the various sizes that YouTube provides.
    In any case, I suggest that you use H.264. But the data rate depends on the size of the file. If you are going to display it in HD, then you probably want to start at about 20Mb/s and go up or down from there. The required data rate depends on what you find acceptable, and that depends on the amount of movement in the video. For example, a talking head next to a white board explaining something requires a lot less bits to represent the image because less changes are taking place from frame to frame. If you use 10Mb/s for that, you might find 20Mb/s or more is required to make you happy if you shot a football game from the sidelines.
    I generally use settings that look like this image. If you have any questions as to why I choose these settings, feel free to ask.

  • Exporting from Premiere Pro into Story

    Can the metadata etc be exported from Premiere Pro into Story.
    For example in the process of roughing out a documentary idea I'm shooting clips and making subclips in bins and developing sequences in this rough style.  It would be useful to document this in Adobe Story if such an interface exists thanks...
    Many thanks

  • Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

    I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

    The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems.  Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have wiped adobe off the machine and reinstalled - same problem.  I have tried projects that crash the machine on other machines and it works fine.
    The machine is new, clean install and runs everything else great - 3ds max, high res games, scientific computing - max memory use, etc.
    Spec:
    5K iMac running bootcamp and Windows 8.1
    Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz
    32 GB ram
    1TB SSD
    AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5
    I have used this bootcamp/imac configuration for 5+ years on 3-4 machines and everything has always just worked great.  Guess it was my time for a problem, but I'm open to new ideas to try...
    Finally - I hope someone from Adobe reads this.  I have spent 2 nights on the phone with support.  The first night I got an over confident answer that it's a gpu driver issue, just go with software only (no luck - same crashes and different drivers aren't solving the problem).  Tonight I was hung up on "by accident" as the agent looked up my video card after waiting 15 minutes to talk to someone, only to be hung up on a second time while on hold after calling back and waiting 20 minutes (because I assume the Adobe call center closed). No message to say so, just hung up on. An overall very disappointing experience.
    Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas on things to try,
    Cheers!

    I am having a similar problem.
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly decided to crash every time I export to either Adobe Media Encoder or within Premiere itself.
    The encode will usually go for 5-10 minutes before the programs either spits out a "serious error has occurred" window, or it just sits there frozen until I force quit.
    I did find a work-around for the moment. If I open AME and FILE > OPEN, select my project and then the sequence I want, AND put it in Software render mode, it will work.
    My timeline is 2K, 58 minutes in 23.976
    Only effects applied are Lumetri LUTs - no third party.
    I've exported as recently as a week ago without issue.
    Running OSX 9.5 on an X99 board
    3.75 GHz 8-core
    64GB 2400 MHz RAM
    EVGA Titan Black 6GB
    Because I can get my renders out, I am not too concerned. Either there is something wonky with my timeline that screws with any graphics enabled rendering, or there is a bug that is have the same effect. I will try rendering on another of my edit bays that utilizes a GTX 580 that I KNOW works. The Titan is pretty new to my workflow.
    Thanks Adobe, for checking this out.

  • 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,

  • Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

    When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
    Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
    My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
    I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap". 
    For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
    Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
    Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
    Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
    So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
    Thank you!

    Here is the solution:  Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
    Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
    shooternz wrote:
    Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
    Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.

  • DCP Export from Premiere Pro CC

    Hi Folks,
    I'm trying to export a DCP from Premiere Pro CC, I have my the 5.1 file from our sound house.
    Under the Export option, 'Wraptor DCP' should be available at the end of the list but it isn't on my software.
    I updated to the latest PP CC which is 7.2.2 but the Wraptor DCP option still isn't available .. wondering is anyone has come across this.
    Many thanks in advance

    Looks like this may be something to do with CC 2014 versus CC 7.2.2, which is the latest that my software allows me to get.
    Can anyone explain to me how this upgrade works? We're currently paying a monthly subscription for Creative Cloud, is there an additional cost for CC 2014?

  • Big problems exporting from Premiere Pro CS3

    Hey all.
    Would be massively grateful if anyone here could help me out. I'm in the process of trying to export a 23 and a half minute project from Premiere Pro CS3. I've tried exporting to different formats, (Quicktime, MPEG2, etc..) but keep arriving at the same conclusion. The process will freeze midway through, and I'm greeted by the following error messages:
    "premiere pro debug event
    premiere pro has encountered an error
    [..\..\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]"
    When I close that, another window pops up saying;
    "export error
    application failed to return a video frame.
    cancelling the operation."
    I'm not really sure where to go from here. Previously during the process of editing this project, I would occasionally get a message telling me that premiere pro was "running low on system memory". Fearing this to be the problem I was having while exporting, I attempted to export an extremely low quality version of the project, but arrived at the same conclusion. I also wondered if there was a corrupt frame or clip somewhere that was causing the issue, so I overlayed one whole transparent clip over the whole sequence and tried to export, but again, the same result.
    I now have to put all my faith in you Adobe Wizards! Please ask me any questions that might help you to arrive at what may be causing the problem, I'll answer them the best I can
    Many thanks!

    FAR too small !!!
    The program itself uses more than that for temporary working files
    Also, unless you already have a 2nd hard drive or eSata external, you are below specification
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

  • Help Needed : Video Glitch after exporting from Premiere Pro CC

    Hi all ,
                I have been experiencing this issue for sometime now. I occasionally encounter a video glitch after exporting a video from Premiere Pro CS6 or CC. Sometimes it happens in my NLE timeline , which I have to remove the affected clip that has the glitch/flicker problem from my bin and re-import the clip from my original source, which solves the problem.
                 However , the worst part is when the glitch/flicker happens when I have already exported the video when everything seems fine in the timeline of Premiere . My sequence settings do match with the clip . This issue happens intermittently as I always have to hope for the best when the video exports.
    Here is an Example of what I mean, the glitch/flicker happens at 3:28 of the music video.
                 Hopefully those who have the same issue can share how to troubleshoot this problem . Thank you.

I dont have an answer for this but it finish my problem  , how i came up with this idea well i have the new mac pro cilinder that looks like a trash can 64gb memory and all the toys to work fast but again the mov files cannot be seen in the desktop cause premiere and mac and windows and all this ******** they fight about  , and i also have your problem big time o pn every export.
      i have instal final cut onmy older slower imac and i can see everything and the export are perfect

  • How do I export from Premiere Pro CC to Final Cut Pro X?

    Here are my system specs:
    iMac (late 2012)
    Fusion Drive
    Processor 3.1 GHZ Intel COre i7
    Memory 16GB 1600MHZ DDR3
    OSX 10.9.1
    Running
    Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1
    and FCP X 10.1
    Hello there,
    I have a fairly complex 3:00minute sequence that I want to export from Premiere using XML and then import into FCP X.
    I exported and the tranlation error log was too long so I duplicated, shortenened and simplified the sequence and the translation errors seemed much more manageable. I quit premiere pro and ran FCP X. Import->XML And the XML files were all greyed out! I couldnt even select them. I tried compying the entire project file including a copy of the XML into FCP and still no luck. Am I missing something here?

    Jim, some people (maybe not that many) are FCP X editors, so it's a good feature.
    Also, I personaly find Premiere 10 years back in terms of editing. FCP X in my opinion has more editing features to make my life easy. The last release has also been a great update.
    I have been editing in Premiere the whole year 2013, and I can't go back to the "old fashion" editing since i started editing in FCP X. but that's a matter of preference. The problem is that the other editors in my office use Premiere, so XML exchange is a must.
