Media Encoder CC 14 renders with black frame at the end

Hello,
my Media Encoder running on Mac Yosemite makes a black frame at the end of h264 clips...
How can i fix this?
Thanks

I just figured out - it might be a quicktime viewer problem...

Black frames at the end of an exported file when converting from 60p to 24p

I have another export issue that I can't figure out.
I import footage I shot at 23.98fps (on a JVC HD100) using a Kona LH card at 59.94fps DVCPro HD, in which it has a 2:3 cadence. I need to make files that are actually 23.98p DVCProHD. Unfortunately, when I export in Final Cut from the 59.94 original, the new 23.98 file has all of the image, exported correctly, followed by a number of black frames such that the total number of frames in the exported file equals the number of frames in the original file. That is:
If the original 59.94 file was 3s long, that is 60 * 3 = 180 frames. The exported 23.98 file also has 180 frames, but only 3s of image = 3 * 24 = 72 frames, followed by 180 - 72 = 108 frames = 4s 12frames of black.
How can I prevent this from happening, and end up with an exported file that is (e.g.) just the 3s of image, and not 7.5s of which 4.5s are black?
It's true that I can manually clip this black off, but I need to do many clips as a batch, and would really not have to change one clip at a time. It is also true that I can do a batch in compressor, and that this process does not suffer this problem -- that is, there is no extra black -- however, there is another problem: the original 59.94 DVCProHD files are actually 1280x720 with square pixels; the files exported from FCP via the KONA DVCProHD codec maintain this true HD proportion, but the ones exprted through compressor (which does not appear to support the KONA LH implementation of DVCProHD as an option) have the size 960x720 with anamorphic pixels, and I would rather keep the original size. Thus, I would rather export from fcp. If anyone has any insight into how I might resolve this....
Thanks,
Robert Schaller

Thanks. If I understand you correctly, it does seem to export correctly if I paste the 59.94 clip into a 23.98 sequence (you can't nest sequences that have different time bases) and export from there, and it doesn't even have to specify square pixels, etc.: the AJA codec implementation seems to take care of that. There is no longer any extra black, so, per file, that gives the right result.
That, however, is only one part of the problem, though a significant part. Next is, I really would like to do this as a batch process, as I tend to have many clips to do at one time. As soon as I try any kind of batch export, I end up with one of two problems:
1) if I try to batch export from fcp, I'm back to having extra black frames, or
2) if I try to batch export with compressor, I get 960x720 files.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the right files in a batch, that would be the next step. Is fcp scriptable? And, if so, can you write a script that takes a clip, pastes it into a blank 23.98 DVCPro timeline, sets the correct in and out points (i.e, in at the beginning and out 1 before the end), exports it with a specified codec and time base, with a name based on the source clip, and then repeats that as needed?
Thanks for any input --

My time Frame indicator stops one frame before the end...?

Basically what the header says, which means every rendering I do is putting a black frame at the end of everything, so, for example, doing a Vine loop vid effect is proving impossible, because of the black frame it puts at the end of everything.
Any help please for this novice, would be greatly appreciated, its driving me crazy, hope it/s something simple.
Cheers Simon.

There is nothing wrong. AE operates on genuine time and a discrete frame is sampled at its temporal entry point. and nothing stops you from creating perfect loops, you just need to understand this little thing.

Media Encoder CS6 not working with Premiere

Hi
I have been merrily editing a lager job in Adobe Premiere CS6 and then queuing the time lines to export in media encoder CS6 done the entire job everything rendered fine then Bam all of a sudden when I try and render I get all the audio a couple of frames of video then just black!!
I have tried different codecs same result, I have tried different timelines same result, When I export directly out of Premiere without going through Media encoder all works fine, when I try encoding a file directly in media encoder works ok, It just seems to be the link between Premiere and Media encoder that not working as it should
Anyone got any ideas?
Hi Folks
Has no one had an issue exporting to Media encoder from Adobe Premiere CS6?

Any chance this gets fixed soon? I'm shooting with an AF-100, and at this point I'm still using Final Cut to transcode my footage so I can have audio. I've also noticed the video jumps around even when it does have audio. Prelude has been extremely problematic for me, and it doesn't have a way to bring in clips that returned errors upon importing, I have to write down the clip numbers and bring them in individually. I've also tried just dropping the file structure from the card straight to the hard drive. It's a huge problem, and is keeping me from making the switch fully from FCP 7.

Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

Hello,
I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
- Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
- Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
- Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
- Encoding Time: 00:06:36
5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem. I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file. I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder. A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere. Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
Could use some advice here.
Glen
P.S. the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place. We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
WME is capturing at the following specs:
160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
29.97 fps
640x360 resolution
buffer size: 5 seconds
key frame interval: 8 seconds
I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
AME is encoding with the following specs:
FLV Multiplexing
On2 VP6 codec
620x360 resolution
800kbps 2 pass VBR
100% undershoot at best quality
160kbps stereo MP3 audio
I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
Yes, these are our source assets. They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know. I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
Thanks,
Peter

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 6.0.3 : Unable to read from the source

Hi !
I'm using Premiere and Media Encoder in tandem for a while now for a big project, but since last week, something screwed up and I can't export from Media Encoder anymore. Every time I try to encode with Media Encoder, it tries to conect to the Dynamic Link server, and then fails to do so, and shows the error in the title. And since I cannot encode directly in Premiere (it just doesn't work, but that's nothing new), that means my project is on hold until the problem is fixed...
I googled my problem and find some solutions. I tried to create shortcuts to Premiere in the dynamiclink and the Keyfiles/dynamiclink folder, but that didn't work.
I uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 two times (the second time with the CC Cleaner Adobe provides to clean after uninstalling CS6), but that changed nothing.
I tried to unlock the permissions to the folders of my project, but that didn't help to solve my problem.
Now I'm out of ideas, so I post here, hoping for an answer. I'm almost certain the problem is from the Dynamic Link with Premiere, as the link between Premiere and After Effects doesn't work either (anything not related to Premiere works well though, After Effects can link with Media Encoder, but Premiere won't. The file is still being transfered to Media Encoder, but it can't start the encoding).
I previously had CS5.5 on my computer (and maybe CS4, but I don't remember), but I'm almost sure all of them are all wiped now, with the CC Cleaner and all.
I should mention that I'm using these softwares as part of the CS6 Master Collection (everything is up to date according to the Application Manager) on a Windows 7 x64 hardware

Update : I created a new account on my computer to test if the problem still occurs. And surprisingly, it doesn't occur... I'm able to use the dynamic link properly, and all is up and running.
It works as a workaround for now, but I would seriously like to solve the problem on my main account. So something is wrong on my main account. I checked my firewall, but that seems okay (no results even when my firewall is deactivated).
I should mention that the path Media Encoder use to link with Premiere has non-ASCII characters in it (such as é, è, etc.). Could that be the cause ? If so, how can I change that path ? (currently to User/<username>/AppData/Local/Temp). Is there an option, or even an environment variable for that ?
I've also noticed that the file created for the cache on my main account is slightly smaller than the one on my test account (749 ko on main and 778 ko on test). This should be the same file, so the weight should be the same... Could it be some kind of corruption that prevents dynamic link for working ?

I get a black frame at the head using image sequence every time

I am using tif frames number 1-xxxxxxxx and each conversion adds black frames to the Qtime movies when there are none in any of my sequences.

Hi guys. So we did some testing. Using the original presets, it works. However, if I change the quality settings in any configuration, it will always output the black frames at the head. It can be any combination or just one setting adjustment and it will add the black frames.
However, we found that if the sequence is renumbered to start from frame '0' ( this was discovered by accident ), then it will work, regardless of the quality adjustments.
The quality settings I am referring to are 'Resize Filter', 'Retime Quality', 'Adaptive Detail' etc etc. If any one of these are changed from default settings, it will add the black frames.
We can only presume this to be a bug? The big issue though, is that we have hundreds of clips that start at frame 1. We can of course not change the default settings but that means we cannot make adjustments.
Cheers

Compressor white frame at the end of WMP

I want to use compressor and flipformac to produce my windows media files. I have 50 clips to move so I wanted to take advantage of the automation.
Every clip it finishes as a wmp9 using the flipForMac quicktime plugin has a white frame at the end of it. Any way to get rid of that?
I downgraded my flipformac to the 1.0.2 from the 2.0 that is there current release because of a known bug that causes floating green chroma crap to appear on the wmp doc. I also tried using Sorrenson Squeeze to batch, but Sorrenson can't compress 720p codec footage that is the DVCPRO HD codec. (again, known bug they are working on). I tried downconverting the HD footage to SD and having compressor do it and still .... white frame. So then I tried cleaner... it just crashes... I hate cleaner.
sorry for the rant... can anyone help.

Is there a chance your source footage has the same white frame before you encode it? I've never seen this problem.
As far as flip4mac, there is a work around in the current version to avoid the green monster. With a Two Pass VBR Constrained, set your Peak Bit Rate to 1.5x. This makes your encode closer to a CBR, but eliminates the compression artifacts. Also in the advanced settings, a shorter Key Frame frequency will improve overall quality.
Sorry I'm not more help with the white frame. What version of Compressor are you using? I've done close to 100 encodes in the last month and haven't encountered this. What are your source files? Quicktime out of FCP? Reference files?

How do i get rid of black space at the end of a video presentation?

After creating a project in iMovie and burning it onto a DVD, I realized that when the movie was finished, it did not return to the Menu right away and instead it played 20 or so seconds of blackness that I can't seem to get rid of. Has anyone else had this problem? And how do i fix it? I have also checked if my any audio or narration tracks lengths were that long, and none were.
Please help.

In the course of your editing you may inadvertently have left a tiny scrap of audio or video way out at the end of your time line, with a large gap between it and the last clip in your movie. Your movie will play out until it reaches that scrap, leaving a large black gap at the end of the movie. Sometimes these scraps are so tiny that they are difficult to see and can be overlooked in normal view. Expand your time line view to its fullest extent and check to see if you can find such a scrap, left over from editing, and then delete it. It's worth a look, though you may not find anything. That's all I can think of, unless for some reason you have a 20 second long black clip at the end of your movie that you forgot to delete. (Don't laugh--it happened to me once.)
Good luck in resolving your issue.

Is there a way to rename multiple form field names with a "b" at the end?

I have a two page form, both are identical. I need to rename all the field names on page 2 with a "b" at the end of the file name so they dont conflict with that of the first page. Is there any fast way of doing this without renaming each individual one at at time? I have a LOT to do!

It's not possible with JavaScript. The name property of a field is read-only.
I would suggest making a template from the first page and then spawn a new page from it.
If you do it from a script make sure you set the bRename property to true and the form fields will be automatically renamed, but you can't specify the name, it will be in following pattern:
P<Page Number>.<Template Name>.<Original Field Name>

How do you add a black segment at the end of a clip

I would like to add a black segment at the end of my movie to lay my credits over? How is this done?
Thanks

Isn't there an "Over Black" in the titles pane anymore? (I don't have imovie 08...)
Not as such. It depends on which "Title" option you are using. Double clicking on any of the last nine "Title" options in the lower area outside the text boxes will open the color selection tool. The first three "appear" to be "black" by default when "dropped" to the project area since they are actually transparent (as you can see when dropped to a video clip). Same seems to be true for "upper" area of the last nine.
