Import Premiere Pro Sequence Stops at 50%

I've been up for two days now looking thought these forums. I just need to output a simple, menu-free DVD and blu-ray disk.
I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5.
I tried exporting the "old" way, but can't just burn the work area. So I output to a MPEG-DVD file, put this new material in a new sequence, and tried Dynamic Link to Encore. Encore reads it all it, but stops with a "Import Premiere Pro Sequence" at 50%. I've let it run for hours, but it doesn't move past this point.
I'm running on an old machine - dual core, 8MB memory, HD6570 video card. I know I need a better machine, but if I can't burn discs, I won't make money, and I'll never afford anything faster.
I'm very disappointed. I'm not doing anything fancy, not much more than simple cuts. Seems like burning discs should be a no-brainer. Judging by this forum, Adobe has turned this seemingly simple function into a major undertaking.

Some observations; take them or leave them as you please:
I'm running on an old machine - dual core, 8MB memory, HD6570 video card.
I've resorted to burning using BurnAware
I've been using Premiere for over 10 years
All that seems to indicate you are running a Windows box.
I know I need a better machine, but if I can't burn discs, I won't make money, and I'll never afford anything faster.
it looks like Adobe has created another FCP user
A new Windows box will cost you far less than a similar-performing new Mac, which is what you'd need to run FCP. Since you've indicated that the cost of a new system is an issue, you may want to rethink the Mac/FCP purchase considering its cost and the fact that you've already invested in CS5.5. There's nothing wrong with a Mac/FCP combo, it's just that I wouldn't consider it budget-friendly.
Seems pretty cludgy for a semi-professional video editing product.
Agreed. But most of Encore's issues are solvable. No guarantees, but the users here are generally pretty good at getting to the heart of an issue. They're going to need more info from you, however. Please read here:

Import Premiere Pro Sequence Problems

Hello, I am new to using CS for video editing so forgive me if this seems very basic.
What I am trying to do, is bring a sequence from Premiere Pro into After Effects so that I can jazz it up with some compositing and effets etc. I went to File>Dynamic Link and imported my premiere sequence. It shows up in my project panel, and double clickign it I can view it as normal. But when I try to drag it into my timeline panel to make a comp, nothing happens. I have tried draging it to the "create new comp" button within the project panel, and all it does is create an empty comp. Am I doing something wrong? I am using Mac OS X 10.7.2

I think you're going about this all wrong. If you go to Adobe Dynamic Link and pick Import Premiere Pro Sequence you get a movie not a composition.
I don't think that's what you want.
If you go to File>Import>Premiere Pro Project you get all of the footage, the bins, and either all of the sequences as compositions or a selected sequence as a composition. Only cross dissolves and cuts come across but the AE project can quickly become unmanageable if there are lots of cuts. I cut a feature film last year in Premiere Pro and there were just a little over 3000 edits. Can you imagine working on a comp with 3000 layers???
The project looks like this:
The only difference between importing a movie and importing a Premiere Pro Project using dynamic link is that you can go back into Premiere Pro and re-edit the movie, then bounce back into AE and see the edits without rendering the Premiere Pro sequence. It's not at all useful to do what you describe in your original question. I didn't read carefully when I posted the first answer.
My usual workflow, in fact the workflow used in the project I'm showing here, is to go to one or a few of the shots I'm working on in Premiere Pro, select them then right click on the selected shots and choose Replace with After Effects Composition. This enables AE, allows me to concentrate on the sequence that needs the work in AE, keeps my AE projects very manageable, and lets me work faster and more efficiently. This runway show First Cut had about 15 effects shots, each requiring only about 3 or 4 layers. If I had imported the entire PPro project I would have had about 500 layers to sort out and the comp would have been completely unmanageable.

Import Premiere Pro Sequence grayed out in Adobe Dynamic Link

I'm using PPro CC, and encore CS6. I have created a finished sequence in Premiere Pro, and I want to bring it into Encore. When I go to -> file -> adobe dynamic link, the premiere pro sequence option is grayed out. Why?

OK, well that explains it. Does that mean that if I import a PProCC sequence into encore,
It means you can't import the sequence itself. You must export a file of some kind from PR/AME, then import that. And yes, there is no way to get your CC projects to update automatically to Encore. You must export a fresh file. You can use "replace asset" and such to simply changing the file.
I went to the link above, and was somewhat distressed to see that the industry is moving away from physical media in favor of streaming. Won't happen in my lifetime, but a world without books and records and DVDs and CDs, etc.? Scarey!
Adobe needed some excuse, and that was theirs. There is clearly a very significant number of users that are a) event videographers/editors who must deliver DVD/bluray to clients and b) hobbyists who want the disk format for themselves and to share. My favorite guesses are a) that Rovio's takeover of Sonic/Roxio voluntarily or involuntarily squeezed Adobe financially or b) they don't want to invest the dollars in other aspects of fixing/upgrading Encore.

After Effects CS5.5 will not open a Dynamically Linked Premiere Pro sequence in the comp. window

Hi all,
I'm trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence which is in 2K and the footage has been shot as RED 5K. Adobe Media Encoder will simply not work as I am having the quite widely discussed issue where it will just 'hang' at certain points and not complete the export.
The most popular solution to this problem is to export via the Render Queue in After Effects instead. However, therein lies the problem.
I go onto After Effects. Choose File -> Dynamic Link -> Import Premiere Pro Sequence.
The box pops up, I choose the Premiere Pro Project File then select the sequence I want to export. It then appears in the After Effects project panel window like so:
However - when I try and drag this to a new composition window, one of two things have happened. Either A) nothing happens (literally, NOTHING changes) or B) as the following example shows, it seems to add it to a new composition, but the video is entirely black. I have tried rendering it and it just produces a black video.
The other thing people seem to suggest is to just import the entire Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects. I've tried this, but any titles I have added in PP force the video to fade out then back in, in the place where the title should be?? So I can't export the video this way either.
My system is as follows:
Thanks massively in advance for any help that is provided!

This is months old but I'm now having the same problem with AE and Premiere CS6 after updating last night: Dynamic linked sequence shows up in the project window in AE and even plays video if previewed, but will not drag or alt-drag into any comps, including a new comp (makes a new comp with matching settings, but empty).
Furthermore, I do actually have an earlier version of the same sequence placed in one of my AE comps, which I think was done using the same steps just prior to updating the apps last night. Did this break?
I'm a little concerned since the biggest reason I'm trying to use premiere is to eliminate the exports when adding graphics in AE.

Importing a CS5 premiere pro sequence into Encore

I'm pretty new to premiere pro and encore (used encore for the first time yesterday) - so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I've created a project in Premiere Pro and it plays fine. However, when I import the premiere pro sequence into my Encore project (so I can export it to DVD) it shows the media as being offline. Am I wrong in assuming that if I import a sequence from premiere pro I don't have to import all the sub-assets that the sequence uses as well - shouldn't that happen automatically? Or do I need to import everything? - seems a bit silly if that's the case - why would I not want all the assets that a sequence uses to come across with it? Thanks.

forgive me if this is a dumb question.
Not dumb, but your terms aren't right, and that's probably at the root of your problem.
You "import" a file; you dynamic link a PR sequence, either from Premiere or from within Encore.
When you dynamic link, nothing is actually transferred; a link is set up, and the Premiere sequence is still operating from within an instance of Premiere (even if not visible).
When you eventually transcode (in Encore, usinkg Encore's engine or adobe media encoder), then a file is created inside Encore directory structure.
The media showing as offline means you've done something wrong.
Do you get this message at the very beginning of the link? Be sure you don't move or rename anything.

'Premiere Pro has stopped working' during file import

Hi,
What are the technical Specifications of your computer?
What is the exact version of Premiere Pro that you are using?
Go to File-Project Settings-General and change the Video Renderer to Software Only Mode.
Then Import the file this might help.

How can I make Illustrator stills for Premiere Pro sequences?

So far, when I create Illustrator stills (in this case, consisting of type) and import them into a Premiere Pro sequence, only the type itself ends up on screen. It's almost as if I've selected just the type to be used and the rest of the canvas has disappeared. Thanks.

That is correct:

I Built My Project, And Now Changes To My Premiere Pro Sequence Don't Show Up In Encore

Once you build a project or transcode a dynamically-linked Premiere Pro sequence, Encore looks at the transcoded version of the sequence instead of the linked sequence. To get Encore to once again look at the linked sequence, select the sequence and go to File | Revert to Original.

I have a Dell that's running Windows XP. I have found that itunes is very temperamental. this works most of the time... except on my son's computer that's running Windows Vista.
Go to your library in iTunes. Then go up to file and try one of the options (import, add folder to library, or add file to library).
Adding a folder is the least work. You can add all the files from a folder with one click... if it works. Remember that itunes is temperamental.
If that doesn't work, try adding a file. The problem with that is that you have to go through the whole process for each and every file (song, movie, etc).
Sometimes the only thing that works is to import.
I haven't gotten iTunes to work on my son's computer (Windows Vista).

Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

99 or 100% when it says Premiere Pro has stopped working and needs to close. What's going on?

I am using the premiere pro trial at the moment and have been trying to render a video for a solid week now. My computer is far more powerful then the recommended specs and yet it still takes 2 hours to attempt to export a 3 minute video (that isn't even heavily edited) and not only that but it will get to 99 or 100% when it says Premiere Pro has stopped working and needs to close. I have used earlier versions of the product before and never had such problems, even my 2 year old laptop could breeze exporting. What's going on?

Thanks, I'm a bit new to asking for help!
Version : Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)
It is up to date
I'm using Windows 8.1 build 9600
My sources are contained in .mov, .mp4 and .png. The codec I'm trying to use is H.264
After I set the project to export I got this error message every time it gets to either '99' or '100%' completed. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I have never had such a problem with the program which makes me think it might have something to do with a recent update.
No other notable software was running during the export.
I don't have any third-party effects or codecs installed.
I have 64 bit OS and processor, Intel i5 - 4670K quad core clocked at 3.40 GHz. 12 GB of RAM. And a GTX 770 with 2GB of video RAM.
Unless it was installed in the trial, I do not have the Mercury Playback Engine.
And finally, it can be noticeably choppy during the preview when it gets to the part I don't have rendered but is fine again for a bit if I replay those parts. A part from being a bit slower then usual, I didn't actually run into a major problem until I started exporting.
Thank you for the help! Any suggestions?
