Media Encoder error about activation when exporting in activated version of Premiere CS4

I get the following error when I try to export media in Premiere CS4 (Note: I have a legal and activated copy of CS4 Master Collection). In Premiere, it appears to go through (the loading progress bar fills and then disappears) but when I check the folder, it's empty. And then I notice that there's another icon in my taskbar and oh hey, it says "AMT Subsystem Error: Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS5. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not activated. Please launch and activate that Adobe product before continuing to use Media Encoder."
I'm using Windows 7 x64 (8gb of RAM). I tried installing the patch as suggested in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/719451 but it only claimed to not have the corresponding program installed. I tried checking to see if there were any updates - there weren't.
A quick check on my computer reveals that both Media Encoder CS4 and CS5 are installed. I looked to see if there was a way to uninstall the CS5 version but didn't see it. The only way I think I could have gotten it was though some sort of Adobe update.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

Hi: I have the same problem, but it happened very suddenly and after very specific updates. I successfully encoded a file using the CS6 encoder. Then, I allowed updates to Adobe Media Player and Adobe Air. I tried to encode with CS6 again and it had stopped working - all in the space of 5 minutes. A reboot did not help. I also have CS4 and CS 5.5 installed and have had all along (which means that you can have them and use the CS6 encoder). Since I can no longer use the CS6 encoder, but am able to launch an older one, I am using that for the moment. I hope that this reply will be of some help in finding a solution.

  • Why Adobe media Encoder makes 3 files when export in MPEG2 ?

    I try to compress a sequence using File-Export-Adobe Media Encoder -MPEG2-DVD. I want to reduce the size of my sequence (normaly exported as .AVI file) When done, I have 3 files: 1) .m2v 2) .Wav 3) .mcses
    What are theses files ? Should I use something else to reduce the size of my files to fit on a 4.7G DVD...?
    Thanks !
    Franc St-Louis

    The .m2v file contains the MPEG-2 video.
    The .wav file contains the PCM (uncompressed) audio.
    The .mcses file contains information about chapter markers.
    Encore will use the MPEG-2 file "as is" and by default compress the PCM audio to Dolby Digital (AC3).
    There are basically two options to make your project fit on a DVD:
    Export a DV AVI file from Premiere and let Encore decide on the best compression settings "on automatic".
    Do a bit budget calculation and use the bit rate numbers found in Premiere's Media Encoder.
    To assist you with the bit budget you can use one of these online calculators:
    Bitrate Calculator
    CustomFlix Bit Budget Calculator
    Chris Linke Bit Budget Calculator

  • Media Encoder Freezing Up Mac When Exporting

    Hello,
    Not sure if this has started due to a recent Media Encoder update or from the fact that I've switched out my hard drive for a SSD model. It seems that now I can no longer use my Macbook Pro do do email or browse the web when exporting a video from either within Premiere Pro or from one queued in Media Encoder. When the export is in progress, the cpu usage on my Macbook is very low, yet I cannot use anything else. Once the encoding stops, all is fine again. The export preset I'm using is the H:264 same as source high bit rate. My source media and my output paths are both on an external Thunderbolt drive. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
    thx

    No one have any ideas on this? No one else with SSD drives on a Mac experiencing this?

    That error can happen for many reasons...one of the reasons that I occassionaly get it is because I try exporting a movie to an external drive that has been formated in the old FAT32 instead of the NTSF standard.  FAT32 only allows for file sizes up to 2 gigs.  And as soon as it reaches that...I would get that error.  I don't know if that is why you are getting that error...but it would be easy to check.  1) are you generating a file that is over 2 gigs?  2) is your drive that you are exporting to FAT 32 (just right click the drive in My Computer and select "properties" then just look for what it says next to "file system".

  • Premier Pro CC and Media Encoder crashing on long file export.

    Please forgive the length of this inquiry. But it is complicated and has a lot of variables.
    I have an hour long mixed format timeline both Red 3K footage and Black Magic ProRes 1080P footage that I want to make a DVD from and it takes forever and crashes half way through. I have tried doing it every way possible and the only way I was able to get even a partial export was using the "MPEG 2 DVD" export option in Premier CC. It goes fast at first telling me it will take about 2 hours but even though it starts quickly doing about 15 fps it slows down to less than 1 fps and finally just stops and crashes my Cuda Core enabled Macbook Pro Laptop.
    I really don't know who to ask about this since there are so many different variables. I never had a problem like this on my MBP with PP6 on a 4K timeline exporting to DVD or Blue Ray or to H-264 or Even Prores. But I wasn't mixing formats either. But on this project the first 20-30 minutes of footage goes through fine in a couple of hours but something seems to be bogging down the system on longer projects. My work around was to break the project up into multiple exports and combining them on the DVD timeline but I can't do this on every project. I thought maybe it was a corrupted clip somewhere in the timeline but when I broke the timeline up into several parts I had no problems.
    I did notice a dramatic variance in the time it took to export footage based on the sequence settings. A one minute timeline comprised Red 3K footage and ProRes 1080P footage Here are some sample export results:
    From a Red raw 3K timeline 2880x1620  with 1080P Prores footage upscaled 150%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format    1:48 Minutes ***
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ  1080P                         22 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                    22 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                22 Minutes
    From a 1080P timeline Prores footage at 100%  (Red footage downscaled to 67%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format                         13 Minutes
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ 1080P                             13 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                                                             14 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                            14 Minutes
    Since I am going to DVD,  I chose the fastest option  Red to m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format which only took 1:48 per minute. Why? I have no idea. Maybe someone here knows the answer. But again these numbers are for a ONE MINUTE clip when I tried to convert the whole hour timeline to  the 720x480.m2v DVD File the Red timeline froze my computer after several hours even though I had set sleep mode to “Never” and turned the display off manually and I had to convert it in multiple chunks. In 20-30 minute chunks it did go fast about 1:48 per minute like the test indicated. But I would like to be able to convert the whole hour and not to have to try to stitch the clips together in my DVD authoring program.
    I don’t want to have to avoid using multiple formats on the same timeline or waste time transcoding everything to the same format.
    Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why the computer is crashing or bogging down in long exports and what timeline settings I should be using?
    I have plenty of room on my Scratch Disk and 8 Gig of RAM and according to my Activity Monitor during the export process  have about 800 Meg of System Memory during export but the CPU Usage is 98% and in my Activity Monitor I see under “Process Name” ImporterRedServer flashing up at the top of the list about every second during export.
    Why .720x480 mpeg DVD setting is so much faster than all the other export codecs?
    And if there are any other settings I can use to get higher speed exports in HD? 14x1 seems a little slow especially since every time it crashes I have to start over.

    Hi,
    Since a long time I did not encounter the crash of Media encoder with
    long file export.
    But I take care of a lot of details before the export :
    - clean up Media cache and Media Cache Files within PP CS6 and/or CC,
    - delete all render files with Preview Files,
    - rendering of sequences until the rendering is completed,
    - PP CS6 and/or Pp CC opened during export to AME and/or Encore CS6,
    I guessed to leave Adobe but this company remains the last with a
    serious authoring software (Encore CS 6).
    I tested :
    - Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, both are very good software but
    no really authoring software for these video editing softs.
    Th only way is to "flood" Adobe with "bug reports" and "wish forms"
    which are not very easy to use.
    And also to call the Adobe support day by day until they send they
    escalate the bug.

  • Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format.

    This is on a Windows 8.1 PC.
    The edit exported fine until I made one big mistake.
    I created a Nested Edit to make a quick alteration.
    Since then the following is now the case and I cannot go back to an earlier edit to fix this.
    Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format. Using either the Export Option or Media Encoder.  Get a dialog that says "Unknown Error Compiling Movie"
    There is nothing wrong with my footage.  This edit worked fine and I export through Media Encoder many times until I made a Nested Edit within the Premiere Project.
    I have tried all sorts of searches on the net for a fix to this but nothing seems to be current or indeed works.
    Any help would be appreciated as this is a show stopper.

    Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.
    I have found a work around but it still leaves a long term issue for Adobe to fix.
    As to your first solution:
    1).  The nested edit is already in its own timeline panel.  It will not export or encode via media encoder.  This is the problem.
    2).  I will try the KEM roll feature but I have a work around see following.
    3).  No I do not have a nested edit within a nested edit.
    I did a lot of research on the net on this issue as it happened to a colleague of mine on his machine about two weeks ago.  It took me six hours to get a fix and in his case there were six video clip that had read errors.  When I overwrote those clips from the original backup master it fixed the problem.  However I was never able to use Media Encoder again to export his project without it failing.  I could only use the Export feature.  Again he had used a nested edit in his project.
    I my case I do not have any nested edits within a nested edit.  All I did was drag my main edit onto the New Sequence icon at the bottom of the Project Bin.  This of course created a nested edit in a new Timeline Panel which is what I wanted.  I then slid the entire nested edit to the right in the timeline by two seconds as all a wanted to do was add two seconds of black at the head of the edit.  That was it.  From that point of creating the nested edit Media Encoder and the Export option failed every time with the fore mentioned error.
    The final work around was one of those I found previous mention of during my research.  I created a new clean Premiere Pro CC 2014 project, I then used the import option under the file menu.  I imported only the original main edit which brought in that edit along with all the required footage.  This would then export to disk using the Export feature.  However, Media Encoder will still not encode this new edit, it fails the same way every time, 'Unknown Error Compiling Movie'.
    As a test I loaded the old corrupt edit project back up and deleted the nested edit sequence completely and re-saved it.  This had no effect and did not fix the problem.  This particular project file will no longer export directly or via media encoder at all no matter what I do.
    This seems pretty serious to me.  I worked on this edit for a whole month without issue, encoding out roughs as a went without any issue, it was only yesterday after I made the nested edit that the project file is now useless as it will not encode out at all.  Yes I have a work around and was able to salvage my project and get it rendered in time for my deadline but the fact I have a partially working Project that Media Encoder will not touch does not instill me with confidence for long term use of Premiere Pro if this is going to happen again.
    Is there some place I can send this project file to Adobe to see if they can find out what is wrong with it?  I am not the only person having this issue I have seen other post going all the way back through CS6 it seems.

    An unknown error occured (-42110) when starting iTunes current version on PC running Win 8 Pro x86. Tried to uninstall i''Tunes. But erratic behaviour when trying to install iTunes again. Get 2 choices, Repair or Delete. Choose Repair, but after some time I get the question: "Do I want to delete everythin in Itunes" Y/N. No matter if reply Y or N or close window, Installation program is terminated without any alterations (or so it says). What ?????

    A repair uninstalls all program files prior to reinstalling them. So the message asking whether or not you want to do that just reflects what has always happened. A repair install (like a standard uninstall, followed by a reinstall) doesn't touch content files under normal circumstances.
    If you think the wording is misleading, it's possible to give feedback directly to the Apple folks about it. Here's a link to the product feedback form for iTunes:

    how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

    Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version).  You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image.  You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export).  Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets.  You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
    The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command.  It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

  • Adobe Media Encoder error when encoding: winfile.cpp-759

    Mods: Please move this to the appropriate thread wasn't sure to move it to Premiere or Flash
    I receive this error when trying to encode AVI to H.264 using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (64bit):
    When searching through the forums, several suggestions for CS4 and current releases that I have tried are:
    clearing the media cache through AME, and the folder location in %APPDATA%\Adobe\Common\
    installing K-Lite Codec pack
    changing the media cache files folder to a separate disk entirely
    updating to the latest version (at the time of post ver 5.0.1.0)
    uninstalling and re-installing AME (as an error might have occurred during updates)
    verifying that the CPU has SSE support and is enabled
    I expanded my search to google which gave similar errors (winfile.cpp-754, winfile.cpp-758, etc.) and a few responses were uninstalling any Nero products (don't have any burning programs on this computer - unless you count Windows)
    The system that I have is:
    MS Windows 7 64-bit
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
    2x 1.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 800MHz
    512MB GeForce 9600 GHz
    2x 250GB HDD Mirrored
    External USB 500GB HDD
    Any ideas as to what the cause of this is?
    LK.

    The information about installing codecs packs is true. It usually does more damage to your codecs already present with software already installed on your computer, and the registry settings even after removing it. That is why it is in good practice to do full image back ups monthy, saving the latest 3 for when I utilize last resort methods such as codec packs.
    Adobe CS5 software has been working fine on my computer ever since its installation July. I forgot to mention that I have successfully used Premiere Pro CS5 for editing a dozen files ranging from SD small res to HD 1080i. This also includes just using AME CS5 itself for transcoding files for supported playback on different devices. I notice a greater difference in speed when using a more up to date machine that uses a GTX 285 card for GPU playback - a lot faster and smoother.
    I have a 2nd, slightly older computer, that houses an extra drive I put in there to use as a scratch disk. I occasionally add that disk to the computer that has CS5 currently installed as a scratch disk for editing video. The external USB drive is used to store the final product and my backups.
    This error has only come up 1 time out of the 49 files I have encoded that usually run 10 minutes to 1.5 hours. I had 9 AVI files in the encoding queue and it always stopped at this 1 particular file. I skipped the file and encoded the rest successfully, but I want to know why it causes an error in AME because this has never happened before. I have even used it on a more up-to-date machine spec wise, thinking that there is a 1% possibility that it doesn't like my computer. The same error was produced. The 9 files that I did encode are roughly the same video and audio format - just this one is the error.
    I gave the file to my friend who was supposed to analyze before I got home - I usually assist them in PC problems and built his better-than-mine PC.
    Any other suggestions for this error and/or a solution?

  • Adobe Media Encoder Error Compiling movie Unknown Error occurs within 1-2 minutes of Exporting

    I've looked at a number of threads about this, and none seem to solve the issue. I am using the Mac version of PPRO CS6, with AVCHD h.264 source clips (mts) directly, and the timeline will play the program, but I did noticed that certain cuts the program video is still for that cut, but the encoding error does not fail in those cuts, so its puzzling.  I've tried different output formats, and each will fail at a different point. There are only 4 video clips (all identical format and frame rate) in this, but I have 180 cuts from the 4 clips. There are no graphics, titles, effects, stills.. none of that - just straight cuts. Only a fade in the beginning and fade out at end I also will get the same error if I render the sequence (also at  a different point, in the middle of a cut), with a same error. The total length of the edited sequence is 22 minutes, the source clips are well over 3GB each. So to convert to another format would take forever, so that's why its kept in original format.  Anyone found a solution?

    That error can happen for many reasons...one of the reasons that I occassionaly get it is because I try exporting a movie to an external drive that has been formated in the old FAT32 instead of the NTSF standard.  FAT32 only allows for file sizes up to 2 gigs.  And as soon as it reaches that...I would get that error.  I don't know if that is why you are getting that error...but it would be easy to check.  1) are you generating a file that is over 2 gigs?  2) is your drive that you are exporting to FAT 32 (just right click the drive in My Computer and select "properties" then just look for what it says next to "file system".
