Media Encoder Crawls Except After Restart

Hi,
Im running Premiere CC14 on a newer (2013) Mac Pro 3.5 GHZ 6-core with 64 GB RAM. When exporting a file to Media Encoder, the file only encodes quickly if it is directly after a restart. For example, after a restart a file may take 4-6 minutes to render a 2 minute animation-heavy sequence. But if I try rendering a second file or after a break - the same file can take 1-3 HOURS.
Any suggestions?
Ive noticed the same behavior on CS6.
Thx!
Nate

How long a while?

It varies. Maybe a couple of minutes, maybe an hour or more. I shut down PPro about five minutes ago and it's still listed in Processes.
Update:
It's been about an hour now and it still hasn't quit.

New PC, downloaded CC 2014. Flash not showing up as option to rip in Adobe Media Encoder or in After Effects. Help?

Why is .flv not an option in Adobe Media Encoder or Adobe After Effects?
Also, when Adobe Captivate converts the video it looses the Alpha channel.

Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down. It would be helpful to provide some kind of list of what comp settings carry over into AME from After Effects. Is it essentially everything that is enabled in the Timeline? (I know that motion blur settings do.)
I'll put this in a feature request, but yes, we need the other half of After Effects Render Queue in AME in order for AME to be a good replacement for rendering from AE. I'll give you my thoughts on why Render Settings are essential before you would actually want to render with AME instead of doing so because you have to (either because you want to render in the background, or need a codec that has been removed from AE.)
1. Speed: Simply applying a Render Settings preset is much faster than manually setting motion blur, frame blending, work area, etc.
2. Reliability: Not being able to apply a Render Settings preset at the time of render is a recipe for missing a crucial setting buried in a comp, then having to redo a render and wasting time.
3. Features: As noted above, there is no way to approximate Render Queue's ability to change resolutions at render, which results in a lot of wasted time when that feature is needed.
Render Settings I think are crucial to making AME rendering worthwhile for AE users:
1. Rendering resolution
2. Work Area/Entire Composition toggle
3. Field Rendering (wait, does this mean AME can't currently render to fields?)
4. And PRESET ability these settings, so I'm not doing them manually every time.
I realize that your team clearly doesn't spend the same amount of time I do making low res H264 previews and sending final files out in H264 format, so you don't appreciate the impact of the changes you made. Moving to AME for that stuff is a real inconvenience, but implementing the settings above could help soften the blow.
Thanks,
Jerry

Media encoder locks up after crash

We are runing Premiere CC on mac across 10.7 - 10.8.4 and are experiencing issues with media encoder crashing when exporting quicktimes and then it locks up the ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle so the app wont restart. The only option to get it working again is to restart the computer. So it looks like its completely crashing and locking out this process. We dont have any software firewalls running or 3rd party plugins installed for quicktime which seem to be suspected causes for this and our logins have full admin privilages. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi Micheal,
Moving to the AME forum:

PPro, Encore & Media Encoder keep running after quit

We recently upgraded to PPro CS5 and everything seem to be working well, except that when I close Premiere, Encore or Media Encoder and then go to open them again a while later, the don't want to launch. When I hit ctrl+alt+del, I see the problem. Under the "Processes" tab the program is always still running. Once I force it to quit, it will start up without a problem.
This happens every time I close these three programs and a restart doesn't fix the problem.
Computer specs:

Core i7 920
ASRock X58 motherboard
Radeon 4870

I have downloaded and installed all of the updates.

Can you export directly from Premiere Pro?
Have you tried disabling GPU acceleration?

Adobe Media Encoder Excessively Slow After New Update

Recently (since the last update it seems like) Media Encoder has been excessively slow for me. For example - I loaded 4 videos in the the queue from Premiere that were about 5-10 minutes each. These videos were shot on DSLR and was a one shot the whole time with RGB curves on them and intro/out graphics. The render settings that I had for them were: h.264, 1080, 24fps, 4mbps min 5mbps max, VBR One pass. I hit the play button for them when I left work at 7 that night and the next day at 9 in the morning (14 hours later) only one had succesfully exported and the other one was only 20% done. I go into Premiere though and I can export the videos just fine and at a time that makes sense for my computer.
The computer that I have is an early macbook pro 2011 15 inch with 8gb of RAM, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, with 750gb harddrive (with 200gb free space).
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Media Encoder and it still takes forever. The most recent video that I got to export with it was a 40 second clip and at those same settings it took about 3 hours to export.
What can I do to fix this problem?

Wow!
People who bought CS5.5 during the free upgrade to CS6 period are still waiting for their free upgrade, and already an update
Seems like the PPro team is really watching what goes on here, and responding as quickly as possible

Premiere CC exports crash, media encoder CC crashes, after effects cs6 to cc modify composition

Hi,
we are working in a project formed by many episodes of 1 hour each episode.
We have also many clips that come to premiere from after effects throught dynamic link (masks that hide unwanted elements, this kind of things).
The point is that we decided to update to cc from cs6, and the hell's been unleashed...
We have converted premiere projects cs6 to CC, as well as each premiere project file, and in many clips that came from after effects the work has been alterated, we see fly's that we got hide, some other clips the image is totally distorted by something that before was a mask...many of the work is ruined...and it's not easy to detect because sometimes are little parts of image. It's like somebody's been playing with our compositions...if we reopen the cs6 version just before converting to cc everything's fine, after it's chaos... the problem is that we return to cs6 we will lose a month and could be critical...
When whe export in differents formats, (720p, 1080i, .mov, mpeg2, mpeg4, blu ray...) we have success 1 time each 10 (normally it get's stuck in a image or it pops up an error message of premiere), and if it succeed exporting, the export has strange artifacts like green or purple parts of the image that we cannot see in the timeline, and that disappear if we export only the affected part of the timeline...
None of this things happened before with cs6, somebody has the same problem? is there a solution? We are really disappointed with CC, it's very unpleasant to start to see flyes ant stuff that we had hided, especially because the changes are not evident and hard to detect.
Help!
Our computer:
Processor 2 x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon

everything up to date, we formatted and updated last week and nothing changes

Hello Jim,
Thank you for your answer.

Media folder suddenly "empty" after restart... what happened?

I've been having problems with my MDD over the past couple weeks, ranging from the inability to force quit to having very slow system reactions for basic tasks.
Now, I've probably come to the apex of frustrations within the past few hours because I've got a failing hard drive. This particular hard drive has four partitions on it. Of the four partitions, one of which was used primarily for video storage. One folder in particular had about 150 GB of data in it, and the total remaining free space on this volume equaled about 2 GB. Unfortunately, after having to perform a forced shut down, this folder now shows up as having "Zero KB for 0 items" (even though I didn't manually delete any of this folder's items), but the volume's total remaining free space is still standing 2GB.
I also think that it's important to point out that the partition this folder is on has, according to the OS, become irreparable by the computer. As a result, this volume has become read-only, so I don't know if it's possible to access these files through as a Root User (wouldn't hurt to try).
Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I might regain access to these files -- if at all?

You must repair the HD, if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export.

Dear All,
Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export movies.
Some times they will, but after one file both programs give me the following error messages.
After effects:
“[file path and name].mov. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
AME:
"Can't read from source."
I've went through the forum and found threads & pages discussing the problem.
E.g.
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252092
After following all the tips and suggestions (from deinstalling quicktime components & audio components to completely reinstalling CC) I'm still experiencing the problems.
Which leaves me in a bit of a squeeze. I need to export over 144 movies in the coming 2 days and the only way to do this is to quit and open media encoder (or AE) after each single export.
Not really an option.
Both problems have the process Adobe QT sever in common, I took this from the console:
9/26/13 1:02:44.517 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[171]: ([0x0-0x42042].com.adobe.Adobe QT32 Server.application[331]) Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault: 11

System information:
Retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) (16gb ram)
Mac OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
Running Adobe CC (for teams), all apps are up-to-date.
I don't no why Adobe puts out such a buggy piece of software (I know it has to with Apple's poor 32bit quicktime implimentation, but hey, this was known information no?).
Upgrading to CC has given our office nothing but problems.
Hope someone can help to find a work around until Adobe realeases a proper update and solves this problem once and for all.
All help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Martijn

Hello Tim,
Thanks for the really quick response!
Regarding the crash log: it doesn't reference com.apple.audio.CoreAudio (though it did before, so I followed all the steps in your blog post before I posted to this forum).
I've uploaded the crashlog to:
http://martijnlambada.com/TMP/AdobeQT32servercrash.zip
If you want to inspect it. It mentions the DXV codec (which I also uninstalled), but the crash keeps occuring. Also I need to export to DXV since it's the only codec the d3 media
server accepts (http://d3technologies.com).
I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting steps.
Codecs used: I've tried everything from animation to Apple ProRes (including: h264/motion jpeg/uncompressed). With all codecs the Adobe QT32 server keeps crashing (though I can't always reproduce).
Export destination: Internal SSD (same as where the OS is installed on) + External raid (via firewire & thunderbolt) + external HD via usb 3.0 (tried everything).
When does the problem start: Really hard to specify, sometimes a day without crashes, sometimes every export for days on end. Sometime after restarting (tried logging out, restarting, switching off and on the computer). With other programs running and with out. Now checking every process active when exporting, and comparing log files.
Can you export to other formats: See question 1, sometimes I can, sometimes not.
When you launch AE and/or AME, is QT32 Server running? At what point does it stop running? Still runing when I open the program. It crashes when exporting (ofter after finishing the first export).
What component files are in your Library/QuickTime folder?: Currently the folowing:
AppleAVCIntraCodec
AppleHDVCodec.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
AppleProResCodec.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
iChatTheaterPreview.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Media Encoder/After Effects CC 2014 Only Export Audio

I've been having a strange problem with Media Encoder CC 2014 & After Effects CC 2014. If I try to export a comp either through Media Encoder or directly from the After Effects Render Queue then it only exports audio. If I bring the AE Comp into Premiere and export from there either by sending it to Media Encoder or exporting it directly from Premiere then it exports fine and gives me audio and video.

Media encoder freezes after 4.2 update installation

Hey guys,
I´m in a middle of a huge project and I updated premiere and media encoder to a new 4.2 version. After that I can´t get anything out of premiere cause every time I try to export media encoder totally freezes after couple of seconds after I´ve pushed start queue. I can´t do nothing but to force to quit. It happens while it is still loading the project and haven´t started to encode yet. What´s the problem here?
I´m on mac pro 8-core and cs4 master collection

How long did you wait before force quitting? If it was only a minute or two, try longer.
If that doesn't work, then remove all of the old queue items from the AME.
Then save your Pr project, and clean the media cache database from Edit | Preferences.
Reboot and try again.
If all of that fails, then trash your Pr and AME preferences and try again.

Moving After Effects Output Templates into Media Encoder

With the introduction of the CC apps, Adobe is encouraging users to export most content through the Adobe Media Encoder application. I'm happy to make the switch if it helps my overall workflow.
As part of moving over to the AME for all things in After Effects, I was hoping I could export all of my custom Output Module Templates to AME, as many of them are being used in an ongoing basis for existing projects, and I'd hate to have to configure the settings from scratch in AME.
I've been able to export the .aom file using (Save All) from AE. But haven't been successful importing those into Adobe Media Encoder as a preset.
Does anyone have a proceedure for this?
Thanks!
Stephen

There is no automated way to do this.
Just to be clear on what we're encouraging:
We are encouraging you to move all of your H.264, MPEG-2, and Flash Video output to Adobe Media Encoder. In other words, you should be creating files intended for distribution (for playback on the web, mobile devices, or television) using Adobe Media Encoder.
The After Effects render queue is still the right tool for creating image sequences and other outputs that serve as intermediate files to be exchanged between post-production applications, for mastering, for archiving, and other purposes that don't require encoding to a highly compressed format for playback/delivery.

After Effects, Premiere et Media Encoder plantent au démarrage

Bonjour

Ma carte graphique est une Intel(R) Graphics 4600.
Merci par avance de votre aide !

bonsoir,
j'ai un problème similaire avec Ae, cependant les autres lociciels fonctionnent.
j'ai un laptop dell avec une carte dédiée nvidia quadro 1100.
sur une autre machine, un imac ss yosemite, je partage la meme license. et tout fonctionne parfaitement.
Windows 7 jouerait-il des tours???
bonne soiree.

Latest Premiere and Media encoder CC update shuts down

I tried restarting after update, next is to revert to previous version.

Every time I've try to export from Premiere Media Encoder gives me this error message that says: Installation error - please ensure this product have been installed properly.
I can't find a way to only reinstall media encoder from CC
It was working fine before the last Premeire update.
