Media encoder crashing when exporting h.264

I have a short 1:30 project I'd like to export using the h.264 codec. The project is made up of [email protected] h.264 quicktimes shot on a Canon 1DmkIV. If I export to h.264 using either the 720p or 1080p presets the Media Encoder will do two render passes then crash with an "Unknown Error". This will happen if I export h.264 or as a quicktime using the h.264. Strangely if I export as h.264 bluray it works fine but then the audio and video are seperate and not what I need if I intend to upload to Vimeo. I can successfuly export to other codecs.
I've clicked through premierepro.wikia.com but couldn't seem to find any answers. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
FYI
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 v.3.2.0 (374)
Windows XP SP3
Intel E6850 Duo Core @3Ghz
4Gb RAM
nVidia 8800GTX
Soundblaster X-Fi

Ok, that worked but Media Encoder wouldn't render out with TS checked using PCM audio, I had to change to Dolby Digital. Once rendered and uploaded to Vimeo the image was displayed as 4:3 but with the anamorphic vertical squeeze even though I was using the 1080p24 preset. <shrug>
I'm wondering if it is the Mainconcept codec that's buggy. Is there an alternative h.264 codec to use with Premiere CS3?

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.

Premiere Pro, Media Encoder Crashing When Exporting/Rendering

For the longest time if I ever tried to export or render a video longer than 5 minutes, my Premiere Pro or Media Encoder crashes. I don't know why but it is EXTREMELY irritating when attempting to make lengthened gaming videos. I have tried 15 different methods all online, to no avail. It always crashes around the 40% mark in Adobe Premiere and it isn't a corrupt project. I have literally tried everything to no avail and I finally decided I would turn here to ask for help. I reset the preferences, tried copying and pasting into a new sequence, tried reinstalling Premiere... the whole bit. My technical specifications are not the issue at hand I don't believe, but just in-case the list is provided below. Please make any response swift, my intent was to upload the video I have in Premiere by tonight!

Premiere Pro CS5 - Media Encoder Crash when Exporting to MPEG-2

System:
Core i7 920 @ 3.8 Ghz
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
12GB DDR3 1600
External Sound Card - M-Audio ProFire 610
OS Drive - 2x300GB WD Raptors - Raid 0
Project Drives - 3x300 WD Raptor - Raid 0
Video Card - Geforce GTX 285 1GB
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 continually crashes or hangs every time I try to export to MPEG-2. I can successfully render to every other codec without any issue, but need the MPEG-2 for an Adobe Encore Project.
The project is approximately 38 minutes long and contains AVI and MP4 files, all of which were ripped from DVDs as I'm producing a reel for a producer who provided his DVDs for me to rip and use as content.
Possible issues:
1.   Currently have Magic DVD Ripper and DVD Fab installed (codec conflicts?)
2.   Originally ripped the DVDs at 630x360 (my mistake - hadn't really worked with a DVD ripper before and was the largest avi pre-set) and I'm exporting to MPEG-2 standard 720x480 Widescreen) (I know I should've just ripped them as the original lossless MPEG-2 files - I'm a tool)
2.   Blank space in the timline (there are a number of these)
I would like to get some input before I try to export to MPEG-2 again as I blew a capacitor on my old mother board (Gigabyte x58-ud3r) after I had gotten my computer to start rendering a MPEG-2 after about 50 tries to export/launch media encoder set on MPEG-2. I just installed my new motherboard to replace it. Clearly MPEG-2 taxes the system more so than any other codec (from what I can tell). However, I thought the issue with the blank space/no media in the timeline was fixed with CS5. I saw in a previous post that someone thought that ffdshow was conflicting with AME. I don't have ffdshow, but I believe that's a ripper program like Magic and DVDFab.

I experienced this at one point. Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime. (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.) However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem. Search this board using quicktime as a search phase. The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions. I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

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.

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 ****.

Premiere Pro and Media Encoder crash while rendering H.264

Very recently, a problem's popped up where Premiere Pro and Media Encoder (CC) will crash while rendering H.264.
It's only while rendering H.264 - other formats seem to work fine.
And I don't mean that it returns an error, I mean it hard crashes with a Windows "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working" popup.
It doesn't crash at a consistent time during the render, even on the same project. Occasionally, it won't crash at all, but this is usually not the case.
I've tried disabling CUDA and my overclock to no avail. Please help!

On the topic of opening a project on the exact same version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (yes it is definitely up to date, and the 2014 version), to overcome this export crash problem that ZachHinchy has brought up - you can't. Technically speaking, one should easily be able to open a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project from one system on another system running the exact same up to date, legitimate version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 without any kind of error. But for some reason, this has been disallowed(?) by Adobe. It has facepalm written all over it. Does anyone agree that this is at least a little bit silly?
I have tried exporting a Final Cut Pro XML from my project to try and open the sequence at uni on a Mac, so I can render my project when I finish my edit. It half works - the clips are there, but the sequence is gone - i.e. 12 hours of painstaking sequencing and micro-edits that had me at several points in time wanting to insert my hand through my monitor with enough force to make a large hole. I really cannot afford redo this sequence, as my assignment is due tomorrow, and I have to work at 6 oclock in the morning, so I also cannot afford to stay up till the early hours of tomorrow morning. Wish me luck that some miraculous event has taken place overnight that will somehow allow me to just open my project, on the same version of Premiere, on a Mac, without hassle. (Apple OS is not friendly to anything but its own selfish nature, so I am having doubts).
Adobe please, if you can do anything at all to help, you will save my assignment, and my faith will be restored. Otherwise, I'll just get my money back and buy Final Cut instead.
I cant even
If I find a way to fix either of these problems, I will post straight away.

Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder crash on Export

Hi
I Run Premiere CC and media encoder on a 2011 27in iMac with 12GB RAM. Until recently everything exported fine. But now when I either do an export from within Premiere or queue via Media Encoder it crashes halfway through. I've tried reinstalling both to no avail. Any idea to why this could be happening and how can I fix it? I'm running Yosemite.
Cheers

Adobe Media Encoder Crashes when launched

Hello, friends on the forum!
I am using a PC with a Windows XP (Home Edition) o/s. It has an Intel Pentium 4 cpu @ 2.80 GHz and 2.5 gb or RAM. This problem just developed: when I try to export a CS4 project, AME hangs and crashes. I then get a message saying "Adobe Media Encoder CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close.....yadda, yadda, yadda!" It then, by itself, tries to launch again with the same dismal result. Any suggestions as to how I might fix this? Many thanks in advance!

Premiere Pro/Media Encoder fail when exporting something with AE linked?

Hey all, I do some video production work for a university, and we're running into some problems when trying to export all the videos from a particularly large course. We haven't run into this issue before so I'm hoping someone might have knowledge of it and can help me out.
Here's some background-
I'm trying to export videos, about 20 minutes each. Each video has an opening sequence and closing sequence that were created in After Effects and are Dynamic linked in the right spots on the timeline.
We're encoding with Vimeo HD 720p 29.97 settings.
Media Encoder gets through one pass seemingly just fine, and then a little after halfway through encoding it stops (doesn't crash, just stops encoding any further) and crashes when attempting to stop the queue.
It's a pain to export from After Effects and re drag in all the sequences, so our workflow keeps all exporting Premiere -> Media Encoder.
EDIT: Can't believe I forgot to mention this- works fine exporting directly from a timeline in Premiere, it's only when Media Encoder is used that issues arise- but it's unfeasible to export 30 videos from the timeline.
EDIT: Done some more testing over the course of the day. I can add After Effects files to a AME queue and encode them with the Vimeo settings and it makes it through both passes, correctly exporting the videos. It just doesn't work when those same compositions are exported as linked compositions in a Premiere Pro timeline.
Some things I've tried with no success:
Exporting the After Effects files separately does not work, it hangs even if only exporting the after effects segments.(20 seconds each).
I've turned off CUDA and done software only, still hangs.
I've tried dragging/adding from Media Encoder/any number of different workflows to get the sequences from Premiere to After Effects.
I've tried exporting with different settings: (e.g. non Vimeo HD 720p 29.97), still hangs (doesn't even start encoding, doesn't get halfway).
Any ideas?

Media Encoder crashing when I try to batch a bunch of files

Any suggestions?

I installed the 4.02 update for Media Encoder, but before it was doing the same thing.
Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't.
I was trying to encode wmv files to avi.
It could be there is something else running that is causing this, but I tried closing basically everthing else, and still not stable...

Adobe Media Encoder crashes when borders are applied to the "barn doors" effect.

Pproheadless.exe stops working. End of story. Doesn't matter what kind of clip I try to apply this to. Barn Doors works; Barn Doors with a border doesn't.

Ah, sorry about that. It's what happens when I post in frustration at 5:00 in the morning. But thanks for the response.
Windows 7 64-bit
Premiere Pro 5.5.1
Combined Community Codec Pack
K-Lite Codec Pack
Not sure if Mercury Playback is enabled. The crash only happens when creating a file in Media Encoder. I've isolated the problem to rendering as a DVD-Mpeg with "Render at Maximum Depth" checked. When it is unchecked, the files render without a crash.

CS4 Adobe Media Encore crashes when exporting HD footage

Hey guys,
Here's my PC's specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 1
Processor: AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.20GHz
Memory (Ram): 4.00GB
System Type: 32-bit operating system
I've got adobe premiere pro CS4 and everything has been going well when working on Mini DV imported footage - exporting AVI's etc, it's all good. But now I've started shooting on a Sony EX3 so I've been importing that footage as MP4s. While not amazing, the editing has been going well, it just goes horribly wrong when I try to export any footage.
For example, I've got a 3 minute video which I've tried to export as an mp4, AVI, mov or H.264 - Adobe Encore will open up quickly enough and then I'll press "Start" and nothing will happen, it will sit and eventually crash.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks.
