Media encoder - can't understand it and it crashes

I can't et my head round media encoder CC2014
If I invoke ME from within Premiere by selecting Queue I get the eternally spinning wheel and then both programmes display 'not responding'.
If I open ME and select my Premiere project I don't get the project but various elements from it, none of which has the name under which the project was saved.
All I want to do is export the project with its given name and taking advantage of one of the many pre-sets available such as YouTube 480.
Have I completely misunderstood the purpose of ME.
Help and advice v. much appreciated as ever.

Media Encoder CC Problems - No sound and often crashes while rendering to Youtube 1080p 29.97 fps

I'm baffled by all of this.
I'm trying to render a clip similar to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fprMxgfdpRo
except there are 8 equalizers and I have to do it for a 2 hour podcast. I have to do it in 10 minute clips because it will either crash every 2 hours of rendering, or it won't have sound, which seems like a common problem with AME. It is very difficult to get the sound to line up after the fact.
Here are my specs:
Windows 8.1
i7 - 3770K
AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition
16gb Ram
I can't seem to pinpoint a fix for this problem. Anyone have any ideas?

This is user to user forum. Some of us on Adobe side check forums once in a while to help users. Contacting support is the proper direct communication with Adobe. That said..
Try encoding uisng Software rendering instead of GPU. Look for "Renderer" just below queue panel and select "Mercury Playback Engine: software only". We have seens in some cases (on longer clips) where graphic card runs out of memory and causes application to mis behave or crash.
If that doesn't solve, let us know if you can encode that particular video to any other preset (Not Youtube). Just to see if this is common issue with all preset or particular one.

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

Premiere/Media Encoder can't render/export after 10.9.3 update. Any Answers?

My computer ran the OSX 10.9.3 update a couple nights ago, and suddenly Premiere/Media Encoder can not export. It just freezes up the computer until I cold crash it. Same if I try to render a timeline in Premiere. This issue just started yesterday. It still persists after wiping my hard drive and doing a clean install of everything, which of course just put 10.9.3 back on there. This issue does not exist on my laptop that has not been updated yet. However, I have enough work and not enough time to be trying to edit everything on my laptop while this get worked out. Has anyone else got this issue in the past day or two?

Hey Todd,
I had two active projects that suddenly could not render/export. One is quite massive and has RG Colorista quite a bit throughout it, however I could not export a timeline without any plugins on it. The other project is also clean of plugins. Then I started a new project and it went out just fine until I put the RG plugin on it. But here is my newest glitch. I just made a change to an old show and all of my titles done in Title Tool were resized and positioned. Blown up and shifted to the right. If I take the same file and put it on my laptop which still has not got 10.9.3, they are just fine. Scaled properly and centered between title safe. But now on 10.9.3 they are blown up and going off the screen.

Media encoder time remaining stops decreasing and processor drops to zero. Time elapsed keeps going up! File won't complete!

Please help anyone who can.
Firstly I know I have very little RAM on my system, only 4GB but I've been rendering the same kinds of files for weeks with no problems until the last few days.
They biggest issues is as follows:
My timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014 has 1080p 50mbps MXF footage from a Sony PMW 200 and some similar footage replaced with an After Effects comp for green screen keying.
The clip, approx 2min, starts with a linked comp from after effects, then cuts to the mxf footage and back to a linked comp at the end.
I am exporting via media encoder to h264 1080p. The file rendered fine for about 40min with the processor at 50% approx. The processor then shot up to 99% for 10 mins and the render progress bar
went up to almost 90% complete.
Then the progress bar stopped, the processor dropped to 0%, time remaining is steadily climbing and so is time elapsed. I've tried pausing and un pausing the render que and nothing else is running in background.
I need these files rendered tonight!! I've tried this a few times and this problem keeps occurring sometimes with the remaining time shooting up to 74 hours!!
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?!
Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)
Dell Precision workstation 690
Intel xeon X5365 3ghz (x2)
4 GB RAM

Sounds exactly like what is happening to me. This is frustrating because it was a 30 hour encoding process and the place where it is stuck is right at the very end of the sequence on the 2nd pass, although there is still about 12% of the progress bar remaining. I guess that this is where it takes all its work and puts the separate files into the single video file. I really don't want to go through this again. The final video file is showing up though and is shown having the size that I am expecting it to be.
Any workarounds to somehow get this unstuck? I am hesitant to just try and open the file. I am going to try a couple of things and if I am successful at getting this to finish without restarting then I will be sure to post it here.
Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with this problem, but I looked at my system Activity Monitor, and there is a CPU process highlighted in red, it states:
Adobe QT32 Server (not responding)
Thirty minutes later...
I was incorrect above as to the actual problem. I paused the queue encoding that was stuck, then opened up the project again in Premiere Pro only to discover that there was an offline still image which I stupidly had renamed during the day. So I renamed the file back to its original name, reconnected the picture, saved the PP project. Then I started the encoding back up and still no luck.
So I paused the encoding again, went back into the PP project and rendered just the area under question, saved it, and exported it into the queue. Then just to be safe I went to the paused item in AME, and duplicated it adding another version into the queue.
Then I unpaused the encoding and ... SUCCESS!! Not sure which of the final steps did the trick, but I am guessing that it was the rendering of the part of the sequence that it was stuck on. Hope this helps someone.

Captivate 8 wants to use Media Encoder CC as a default and I only have Media Encoder CS6

Hi!
Yesterday I switched from Captivate 7 to 8.
Usually I'm using FLV's which get converted to MP4 on HTML5 Export.
Captivate 8 tries to start Media Encoder CC, which I don't have and then crashes. Except for Captivate I've got the CS6 Master Collection installed.
There don't seem to be an option in the preferences to change which program should be used to convert.
Any tips?

I just tried this and updates for CS6 and CC were downloaded and installed.
Captivate still tries to start CC and failes, but now I can lock into the error report:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder CC/Adobe Media Encoder CC.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/dvacaptioning.framework/Versions/A/dvacaptioning
Reason: Incompatible library version: dvacaptioning requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0
So if I get this right, my MacPro is finally too old, as I can't install a newer OS on this

Adobe Media Encoder can´t render out AE Ray-Trace Composition

Hey,
AME can´t render out my composition (or sequence if i include the comp in a PP sequence) which includes some 3D stuff.
I am able to render it out in AE in a few minutes, preview it easily in AE and even in PP but i´m not able to render it out in AME or PP.
AME says it would take like 10+ Hours to render it and doesn´t come to an end.
I tried multiple encoding settings but nothing worked.
Also i checked, that cuda rendering is enabled in all my Adobe programs, but nothing helped...
AE File .aep :
Dropbox - Twitch Infovideo.aep
AME .epr Preset for encoding :
Dropbox - Media Encoder Error Test.epr
Thanks for helping,
Johannes

It raises another question: what settings do I need to encode the comp in 720p resolution without taking up lots of space?
Well, it depends on whether you need a production master (something for broadcast, for example, or to use as a source for other encoding tasks) or if you want a version for distribution. If it's the former, there's nothing wrong with "lots of space" - A Quicktime file with PNG or Animation codec is a good idea, but it will take a lot of space. If it's the latter, H264 is perfect but there's no built-in preset to take 720 material to the web.
You could do this:
* Pick the generic H264 template. You'll see that it will give an error if you attempt to render, because the default setting uses an H264 profile/level which doesn't let you use HD resolutions.
* In the H264 video options, set the "Profile" menu to "Main" and "Level" to 4.0. That will keep it compatible to Quicktime and Flash player, while allowing larger frame sizes and higher bit rates.
* Set Target Bitrate to 5-8 Mbps and Maximum Bitrate to 9-10 Mbps if you're targetting web delivery. That's a bit over what Apple uses for 720p content on the Apple TV, for example.
The H264 original preset will instruct you in the comment field to stretch to 640x480 in Output Module. There's no need, since you are using a profile/level combination which allows higher frame sizes.

Media Encoder CS4 issues with MP4 and M4V files

I've just got CS4 and and very happy so far. EXCEPT I'm
trying to convert some MP4 and M4V videos to FLV using the new
Adobe Media encoder.
When I look at preview screen in the settings panel, the
preview is all wrong. It is just Green and Purple - kind of like
some weird negative image. This also is how the final converted FLV
looks. The CS3 version of Flash video encoder converted these exact
same files OK (although the preview was only a blank screen, but
the final file was OK).
Has anyone else seen this and more importantly, did you
manage to solve the issue?
I'm running this on an iMac G5 with 2GB RAM - could this be a
PPC issue?

Sorry my computer AND media encover version. I run Creative Cloud on a new Mac Pro
File seems to render fine

And this is what I end up with.
Is that helpful?

Media Encoder only using 15% CPU, and system slows to cement

Not sure what's going on, but trying to export from Premiere CS6 to Media Encoder and very basic 640x360 H264 4 minute clips are taking 40 minutes, only using 15-30% CPU (on 2011 Macbook Pro 2.3 core i7), and the system slows to a cement crawl (had to stop it just to type this post). Nothing else is using any CPU and RAM is 25% free.
I don't even know where to begin to troubleshoot. Tried restarting is all so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

It seems there is a problem with the Mercury Playback Engine on my MBP. I turned it off and switched to software only mode, and now CPU is screaming at 750% on export and estimated time is about 8 times faster

Media Encoder Hangs on File Import and Playback

Media Encode Hangs on launch (extremely slow not normal). When I drag and drop a file it hangs or using file import it hangs. Encodes that should only take a few minutes are listed as 1 hour.
I use media encoder all the time it does not perform like this! Anyone else experiencing these problems?
Thanks,
System Info
Z800 8 core 12Gig Memory Nividia FX5800 Adobe CC Suite lastest updates. (Media Encoder 7.2)

Still experiencing unexpected behaviour when drag and droping files into project window. I have draged the same file sometimes it loads instantly other times it takes as much as 3 minutes to load. The file size is 354 mb. No other programs are running. Anyone have similar behaviour?

Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.0.43 still crashes after beginning of encoding - bugs for months now!

Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.0.43 is still crashing after beginning of encoding! In my case this bug exists for months now and Adobe is not able to get rid of its own programming faults! The user pays a lot of money for the license and doesn't get a functioning software! I spent days to get a solution now, but NOTHING of your suggested help works!
This is my 'support' history beginning in AUGUST (!):
Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 ...
Subject: Bug Report
Product: Adobe Media Encoder
Product Version: CC
Operating System : Windows 7
OS version: Service P1
Concise problem statement: Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Go to Premiere Media Export
2. Stating Media Export Parameters for ME
3. Starting ME
4. Define video title and path
5. Start Media Encoder CC rendering
6. ME states 'Preview not available'
7. Rendering aborts after about 15 sec.
8. Media Encoder CC crashes, no matter which kind of video! Every time.
9. Direct 'Export' from Premiere CC is possible with all the same parameters, but CC AME crashes!
10. Also installed Premiere CS 6 Media Encoder WORKS without any problems, but not the CC Media Encoder!!
Expected results: Media Encoder CC WORKING. This is still my expected result as a paying customer!
My steps to solve these problems (with Adobe's help) were / are:
- Cleant every suggested media cashes.
- Tried to render the sequences also without audio.
- Tried to render as one pass.
- Even if I try just to export ONE simple standard SONY PMW EX1 mp4 file which should never cause problems it chrashes, also without audio.
- Also if I clean all preferences and caches before, EVERY file type crashes, no matter if I try to export a video or a still picture.
- This is not happening in Adobe AME CS6 with the same files, but in CC!! CS6 still renders reliably with preview, but CC crashes without being able to show any preview.
- Held the Shift key down while starting AME. This should reset preferences and so on...
- Deleted suggested "7.0" directories as described in other forum posts concerning this topic.
- Logged out of my CC account.
- Deinstalled and reinstalled PPro, After Effects, InDesign, Flash, using Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. All is the newest version 7.2.
- Set GPU renderer to "Software Only". Some video cards have issues when GPU is set to "OpenCL" or "CUDA".
- Checked updates available for video driver. Latest is installed.
- Turned off "Enable Native Premiere Pro sequence import" in AME prefs.
- AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt doesn't have any content, not a single line.
NOTHING WORKED OR HELPED!

Can anyone understand this and provide a solution

Hi all,
I am getting the following error messages.Could anyone provide the solution so that we can transfer the data.
<b>
No transfer structure is available for InfoSource 0CUSTOMER_TEXT in the source system</b>:
In the source system,there is no transfer structure for infosource 0CUSTOMER_TEXT and hence data transfer terminated.
Procedure:IN AWB,regenerate from this source system,the transfer structure for infosource 0CUSTOMER_TEXT
<b>Errors in source system</b>

Hi ,
firstly try to replicate the data sources again for the source system.
This can be done in RSA1->MODELLING->SOURCE SYS->SELECT AND RIGHT CLICK ON UR SOURCE SYS->REPLICATE DATASOURCES.
if you are doing this in Quality or PROD probably the infosource had not got transported correctly.
Ur Data source shud be replicated bfore u transport ur infosouce. if the Datasouce is not present in the systm where we are transporting the Infosouce and absentism of DS leads to no transfer str available.
U can also use RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL in se38 to activate it.
Let me knwo the observations.

Safari 'Can't find server' and Cache crash

I've upgraded to Lion on my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air.
On both of them, I'll quite regularly get the 'Safari can't find the server' page on big sites, like Google, BBC and rather infuriatingly, several times just now when trying to access Apple Discussions.
I tried clearing the cache on my Macbook Pro, but Safari then hangs and refuses to respond. The cache clears okay on my Air.
Any suggestions?

HI,
Open DNS Free / Basic should help that.

Virgin Media Security is unstable in Firefox4 and keeps crashing out but works fine with other previous versions. is there a fix?

My security system, VMS, becomes unstable and tells me that it has found an issue and needs to close down when using Firefox v4. when i uninstall v4 and revert to 3.6.16 everything is fine.

Hi, I have had exactly the same problem as you. EE reset my account, I did several Network resets. No joy. Got a new SIM from an EE shop yesterday, started working about an hour ago, only to stop working 30 mins later. Switiching phone on and off, performing Network resets haven't helped. Phoned EE. They promised it would be sorted by 8AM this morning. Here's hoping..... In the meantime, I have topped up a PAYG SIM which works perfectly. Looking at this forum, Twitter and Facebook, tens of thousands of users appear to be having a similar problem. Seems to affect the whole country and be fairly random in whom it affects (None of the other phones on my account are affected).

Can Media Encoder take an image sequence in the watch folder and turn it into a video file?

I'm using OSX and Media Encoder 6 (from premier 6) and can't figure out how to make the watch folder take a .jpeg or .dpi sequence and turn it into a single video file.
I tried copying all the stills into the watch folder, that made 60 individual video files (one for each image).
I tried making a folder inside the watch folder, and copying all the images into it.. to which Media Encoder did nothing.
What am I missing? Will Media Encoder take image sequences and render them out as a audio-less video for me?
Thanks for any imput.

Hi action_packed,
This is from the documentation: http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/add-items-encoding-queue.html
Still Image Sequences are not supported as source footage through Watch Folders. If a set of still images is placed in the folder being watched, each individual still file will be added as a separate item to the Queue rather than than the entire sequence as a single piece of footage.
Make a feature request for that here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
Thanks,
Kevin
