Media Encoder 4.1 - unable to locate files

After I export a sequence into  media encoder and hit the start button. I get a a notice that it can't locate the files.  I get the same results with both of my computers. If I put files in the media encoder it works great.  In cs3 I could render seqs out to a movie without any problems.  Thanks for any help.
I use XP and Vista

Otherwise, do as Harm says.

  • New windows unable to locate file (music) while external HD is plugged in?

    My computer was recently updated from XP to newer version of windows. My itunes acct no longer identifies or locates the music in my external HD.  With the exception of my ituens purchases, my personnel music are listed as only files in my itunes acct.  When I click on the song (file) it states unable to locate file even though my External HD with the music is plugged into the computer.  Any help would be appreciated...

    Hello 16to87,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains advice on locating your iTunes library:

    Create or choose a different iTunes Library file
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    If you don't see one of the screens above, you may want to try again. Remember to hold down the Option key if you're using a Mac or the Shift key if you're using Windows.

  • Media Encoder in Windows unable to create output file

    I'm trying to create an Avid DNxHD Quicktime file so that I can load in my older Mac Pro and make ProRes files for delivery. When I add the file to the rendering queue it fails every time. Tried several DNX settings, 8 bit, 10 bit but no difference. However when I click Export rather than Queue it works. But that prevents me from using Premiere until the encode is done.
    Am using Windows 7 Pro, CC 2014 with latest updates. Having same problem no matter which hard drive I use.
    Thanks everyone!

    i once had reverse problem, where Export crashed but Queue to Media Encoder worked. Turned out Premiere settings and Media Encoder settings were different. My preferences in Premiere were Audio Hardware with Adobe Desktop Audio with me selecting my ASIO soundcard. Thats what crashed Export. I fixed it with selecting Premiere Pro WDM Sound.
    Not saying you have similar, but do your preferences match with the two?

  • Media Encoder/Premiere Export Crashing During long file exports

    I'm running Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a windows 7 computer--a Livestream Studio HD500. I use the computer to capture live video, which is saved as large AVI motion-jpeg files. I need to edit and export these files as compressed h.264 videos for upload to the web.
    I am able to import these files into premiere and work with them, but the program crashes to desktop during any long export. I am able to export very short (1 or 2 minute) videos just fine, but anything longer will crash to desktop after a few minutes of processing. Media encoder also crashes when attempting to compress the videos prior to processing.
    I have been able to circumvent this problem by compressing the files I'm working with in advance using virtualdub, but it adds an annoying step to the workflow that I'd like to eliminate. Shouldn't premiere be able to import, edit, and export compressed versions of these files without crashing?
    Note: I've tried turning off GPU rendering and clearing my cache several times.
    Thoughts? Much appreciated.

    Maybe this problem?

  • Media Encoder suddenly won't recognize Quicktime files...

    Hi there...
    I'm on a Mac, and out of the blue, Media Encoder suddenly doesn't recognize Quicktime .mov files.  It says this file format is not supported.  Which is weird, because it was supporting it just fine this morning!  Does anyone know what might be wrong or how to fix this?
    Thanks for your help! 

    Im having the same issue.  Were you able to resolve it?

  • Premiere and Media Encoder Crashing During Export of Quicktime Files

    Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC crashes when exporting Quicktime H.264 files. Sometimes the export will work, sometimes it crashes the app. After crashing, the app will freeze while loading "ExporterQuictimeHost.bundle" and requires a hard re-boot of the system to startup again.
    I have tried removing some Quicktime codecs from the Quicktime library folder, as suggested in other threads. This has not solved the problem.
    I am editing with Quicktime ProRes 4444 files.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here's some system info:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010
    OS X 10.9.4
    2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    36 GB Memory
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 1536MB
    Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
    Cuda Driver Version 6.5.14
    Creative Cloud CC 2014

    I'm having similar problems. I can't export anything now...either from Premiere or from Media Encoder. My sequence is ProRes HQ, I am exporting using sequence settings.
    It gets about 75% of the way through and bails with this error message:
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    That's really helpful. Addtionally, when I tried to export out of Media Encoder, I was greeted by an extremely loud bleating goat noise when it failed. Nice. I had a room full of clients. Thanks Adobe.
    I'm seriously doubting the claim of "Pro" at this point.
    This was not beta tested with a ****.

  • Can Media Encoder batch update metadata on .mov files?

    I discovered an issue with Audition creating a new starting time code on audio files extracted out of Canon 70D .mov files.   Details are here:  Re: Audition jumps time code forward on audio extracted from a .mov file
    For what is worth, Premier Pro has no problem with these files.
    The cause seems to be tied to the 70D putting the timecode information into the "Alternate Timecode" fields in the metadata instead of the primary timecode fields.
    Can Media Encoder be set up to batch process a group of .mov files?
    I need it to:
         1.  Open the original .mov file.
         2.  Read the Alternate Timecode "Time Value" metadata field.
         3.  Store the read data in the Start Timecode "Time Value" field.
         4.  Read the Alternate Timecode "Time Format" metadata field
         5.  Store the read data in the Start Timecode "Time Format" field.
    If necessary I can write a program to do this, but after 38 years of doing it I hate writing programs when I don't have to, especially for something like this.

    And of course I left out the last part which is:
         6. Alternatively save the updated file to a new name by appending "-FixTC" to the name portion of the file name.extension.
         7. Open next file in batch list.
         Rinse, lather, repeat...

  • Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I open a file

    Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I browse to open a file.
    I have a Creative Cloud subscription.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program through the Creative Cloud service. No change.

    Thanks for responding.
    Yes, I am trying to utilize Photoshop CS (8.0) and I run Windows 7.1. I installed this from Adobe's Creative Cloud. The program opens, and I am able to open a Photoshop file with it, but then Windows tells me that there is a problem and is shutting down. I'm not sure would the problem might be.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Mac - Wont Resolve to Alias Files

    Hi,
    AME has one big problem:
    Do This
    1) Goto a .MOV file and make an alias of it (alt+command drag the file to i.e. desktop)
    2) Now drag that into AME...
    Instead of resolving to the alias it prompts the user that "This File Format is not Supported"
    I think it should resolve the original movie...

    Well Harm, you are now official tech support for Macs too!!! (whether you like it or not
    I moved the vst plug-ins and voila, yellow export bar for the FIRST TIME in Media Encoder!!!!
    So for now, I might try figuring out which is the culprit, but I think I'll just move the plug-ins whenever it comes time to export.
    You have made my day!  (I just wish I would have asked for help months ago!)

  • Adobe Media Encoder lost sound and had 128MB file - Why?

    Guys,
    Any help would be appreciated. I usually use Adobe Media Encoder to convert my files to flv or f4l - But something happened on the way to the party - The file was an .avi file about 100MB and AME would give me a file of about 128MB with no sound and the conversion took about 11 minutes. Someone on another forum suggested Xilisoft Video Converter I had never used. This thing got the sound right file was 48MB and it was done in ONE MINUTE AND 48 SECONDS...
    Obviously I was doing something wrong with Adobe Media Encoder can anyone suggested what I was messing up.
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    I do not know exactly the setting to did in the AME, but this problem generally happned when you do not select to export the sound along with the video and do not set a compression for the output video.
    Hope this helps

  • AE to Media Encoder slows when rendering multiple project files

    So I'm trying to load in a bunch of compositions from various project files into Media encoder to render over night. I've noticed the first couple of projects render pretty quickly then it starts to bog down a lot. I mean very slowly chugging along through the renders. Is this a memory cache issue??? Any way to fix this? Is there a way I can clear the memory after a render finishes and before it moves on to the next?

    See the known issue here about Adobe Media Encoder taking a very long time to open the first time on Mac OSX v10.10 (Yosemite):
    After Effects with Mac OSX v10.10 (Yosemite)
    Based on this, my suggestion is to open Adobe Media Encoder once, give it plenty of time to start because of this Mac OS bug, and then try again. My guess is that it'll work fine after that.

  • Media Encoder cutting of ends of m2v files

    I'm using Media Encoder to convert a bunch of .mov to MPEG2 for DVDs. On my machine, Encoder exports m2v files that are shorter than the original .mov I put in, essentially cutting off the ends of my videos. This isn't happening on my co-workers machine.
    As an added note. I tried runnig the files through compressor as well. In that case, all my m2v files ended up having black video added to the end of each file.

    The moral of this story:
    "Don't trust QT player for evaluating final media."

  • Adobe media encoder cc will not save output file destination

    Hello all,
    Hopefully a simple issue here.  I'm running windows 7 and just downloaded AME CC.  I've tried over and over to save my output file destination in Preferences and have saved my media cache files to the same location and the saves will not take.  I was able to get it to go to the drive and folder I specified ONLY when I clicked the "Match Sequence Settings" tab in the AME pop up window.  My settings need to be different, so I leave the box unchecked.  Anyone else having this issue?  Can anyone help me out getting this simple function to work?  I saw a short thread on Creative Cow dated February 2013 with the same concern from a user and I did not see a resolution at the end.  I have not been able to find anything on this anywhere.  Sure, I can continue to manually save each file I render in AME, but it's a big PITA.  I finally was in between projects so I downloaded the CC upgrade and replaced my CS6 version and now I have this simple problem from an alleged upgrade?  Help please.
    Thank you.
    Todd

    Premiere sequences queued to AME from the Export Settings dialog won't honor AME's output path preference.  Instead, they default to the last path used from Exp. Settings via Premiere.  However, you should be able to get the result you want by queue-ing to AME's default path once from Premiere, which will make it Premiere's default as well. 
    Or, you could drag and drop your sequence from the Project panel directly into AME's queue; that will use AME's preference instead of Premiere's default path.

  • Unable to locate files message

    Everytime I update iTunes, I lose the ability to play 1/2 the songs from my playlist. Instead I get a message saying that the songs cannot be playsed because the files cannot be located...THIS *****!

    The exclamation mark for missing files is shown if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. Changing the path to the media folder won't fix the links to files you've moved by hand.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. I would suggest you untick Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized before you start so that things don't have to move around as they are repaired.

  • Media Encoder CS6 No Audio on M2TS files (SOVLED)

    Was reading a LOT of issues with Encoder CS6 not seeing audio on m2ts files upon import. I had this issue out of nowhere and was baffled as to why some m2ts files were importing with audio and some were not and was finally able to figure it out (for me anyway). I shoot on Sony AX2000's and NX5U's. When you import from camera, there are cmuprops files that accompany each video clip. I used to delete them because I didn't know what they were for. Well apparently Encoder CS6 needs them for audio. That was what was missing! The video files I imported into encoder that had audio DID still have the cmuprops files and the ones that didn't did not have the cmuprops files.
    Hope this works for someone . Sure as hell kept me from pulled my hair out any more (was running out of hair!)

    You should always copy the entire card to your hard drive, and never touch anything inside the folders.
