Media encoder hates me...Anybody want to help? I need this file exported within 5 hours.

So about a month ago I reinstalled media encoder because it decided that it doesn't want to work anymore and would simply give me an error telling me it couldn't open everytime I'd try to use it.
Now I'm trying to export a premiere file and when I click start que it gives me a warning sign that says "Could not read from source, please check if it has been moved or deleted"
The only time I moved a I was working with was moving the raw footage from my desktop to a folder on my desktop with the rest of the files I'm using in it.
When I check the error log file everything appears to be correctly located, I also made sure that the temporary file it creates to export is where it says it is...so I don't know why it's giving me this message.
I really don't know what to do, I"m about to just delete premiere and media encoder and reinstall both of them soon, in hopes that magically they will work...
I'm using the mac version too if that makes a difference.

"Could not read from source, please check if it has been moved or deleted"
You admitted to having moved your files from the desktop to a folder on the desktop. That could well be your problem.
You need to get PR to recognize the new location of your files. When you start your project, PR asks for the new location. You answer that question, the rest of your files will automatically be located. Then save your project, exit and restart PR. It should now automatically find all your files. If you have done this, is your problem solved? If not, answer the 16 questions Eddie pointed you to.

  • Instead of running firefox.exe, computer asks me to "choose the program you want to use to open this file".

    When I click on either the firefox shortcut or firefox.exe in the Mozilla folder, instead of running, the computer asks me to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox.exe". The recommended program is Adobe Reader 9.1, which obviously doesn't help.
    I have uninstalled firefox and downloaded it again, but now I am trying to run Firefox Setup 4.0.exe, and it asks me again to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox setup 4.0.exe" Help?

    This is a registry problem with your .exe entry
    The below program worked for me on my vista machine.

    You can download an exe file from there that automatically sorts the issue or you can edit the registry manually.

  • URGENT--Need to supress "Do you want to Open or save this file" for (CSV AND DOC FILES) in IE 8, IE 9 on Win XP and Win 7

    Hi 
    In our Task in Salesforce we generate one CSV file and one doc file after one button click on salesforce screen. we need to download these two documents without the popup message "Do you want to Open or save this file"
    Pls suggest Registry Edit Option Or any IE browser configuration or any
    code to get rid of this popup as this is very critical for our Task. 
    Thanks
    Kartik

    Thanks Alex... I saw this in another Forum and could you pls let me know if this works...that is there is no prompt on CSV download
    Begin in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - to change settings for all users
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER- to change settings for the current user
    Then browse to Software->Microsoft->Internet Explorer->Main->FeatureControl->Feature_Restrict_File_Download
    And then set the Value iexplore.exe to 0. If it doesn't exist: Create it (DWORD). 
    Thanks

  • When i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file.

    when i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file. i select firefox to open firefox, and it opens to - Index of file:///C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/- instead of my home page. this has been going on for months. today i updated my kaspersky intrnet security 2011 and since then fire fox will only open in firefox safe, even if i shut down kaspersky. IE opens with no problems.
    thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How to remove the bar: ''do you want to open or save this file''?

    If i open a PDF file in IE a bar will pop-up with is asking ''do you want to open or save this file''. Is there a posibility to open this file immediatley. So without the bar that will ask if i want to open or save the file? Loking forward for a answer!

    I tried putting the below 2 lines of code at the end of button click event & docClose event.
          event.target.dirty=false;
          event.target.requiresFullSave=false;
    It still gives the warning.
    Also I tried to found out the line of code which is making the pdf dirty.
      xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (before displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
      xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "visible";
      xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "invisible";
      xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (after displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
    The doc got dirty when the successMsg field is made invisible.
    Problem I am trying to solve is:
         To display a welcome message before user action and after user action wants to display a success message.
         I follwed the visible & invisible approach & it wokred but gives me a warning on doc close.(Highly imp to avoid it)
    Is there any other approach I could follow here.

  • Do you want to open or save this file? SP 2010 Error

    When attempting to access a library, I am receiving an error message 'Do you want to open or save this file?' ; File type is Zip Archieve. Will not open or save, and because of this I cannot access the library.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got the message “Do you want to open or save this file?”.
    You can refer to the following articles to disable this download prompt:

  • 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.
    Help

    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

  • My Adobe Media Encoder CC keeps crashing - can anyone help?

    Every time I open Adobe Media Encoder, it begins the start-up and then crashes before it opens the application.... any help?
    Not sure if this is relevant but, it seems to crash while loading "ExporterQuickTimeHost.pm"

    This thread suggests (for Windows 8 and I assume the same issue for Windows 7) holding the SHIFT key while executing AME. This resets the preferences, and worked for me when I had this issue.

  • Media encoder shows timeline as "footage offline" help?

    so i just reformatted my HD, and loaded on windows 8.1 last night,. i got CC 2014 installed again. so i import some avchd footage into PrPro, set up a new timeline, and i edit teh gfootage, looks fine. choose to export, i am able to see the preview in the export setting window, choose "queue" and when it bounces to media encoder cc 2014, the footage is now mysteriously offline. but it is not. because it was never offline to begin with. what gives? if i choose to just export in PrPro, it encodes fine. but for some reason, the bouncing to Media Encoder introduces problems. any solutions?

    I've just had this same error. All the media is present in the timeline. All of the media is on the local hard drive. Scrubbing through the timeline shows no offline media. Scrubbing through the timeline in the export window also shows no offline media. Yet final render finishes with a warning that "Offline media has been rendered using the "media offline graphic"."
    Not really sure what's going on here.

  • How do I export on Media Encoder CC and play on Premiere Pro CC without affecting the export?

    I can export on media encoder and play on Premiere at the same time if I save my project > Close premiere pro > open Media encoder > import premiere pro sequence > start export > and open my project on premiere again.
    But I`m having some issues with the playback quality (sometimes it stop and the audio starts getting out of sync), and the export gets slow.
    Is there anything I can do to export and play at the same time?
    I need the full quality of preview.
    Working with codecs XDCAM HD 422 and ProRes 422 on Mac Os X 10.7.5 (2 X 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) wiht 24GB 1066 DDR3 RAM
    Hope u guys can help.

    You can just queue up the export right from PP, start the encode and then go back to PP to continue working.  No need to close anything.
    Doing this will slow down the export process, as PP will steal whatever resources it needs to run, often pausing AME to do so.

  • Media encoder inserts black frame at beginning, when converting my MOV file to H264 for YouTube 720pHD

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder to convert my MOV file to H264, and selecting "YouTube 720pHD" (for Instagram) as I was instructed by someone at Adobe over the phone. But it inserts a black frame at the beginning or end. When I open the converted file on my desktop, the black frame is the first frame. After I upload to Instagram, the black frame is at the end. How can I get rid of the black frame?! Please help!

    Welcome to the furum, Forrest.
    Hmmm. I don't recall hearing of that problem. There may not be many users who can offer a solution.
    This workaround should work, however: Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player and remove the first frame. (I think it's only the first frame that is black, not the first second. Remove all the black, whatever it is.) Save the movie. That may cause QT Player to save it into a new movie. Use the modified movie for your Web site. QuickTime Pro is required — $30 from Apple.
    Note that you've posted in the iMovie 6 forum, not the iMovie HD forum for iMovie 5. There are fewer current iMovie 5 users here. Most were iM5 users, however, so someone might remember this problem.

  • Estimated file size in Media Encoder too big by 8 GB, Why? Need to be accurate

    I completed a 2 and a half hour project in Premiere Pro CS 5.5 at 1440 x 1080i
    I went to encode it through Media Encoder. (File ---- Export ------ Media) the box opened up and I set my settings. I encoded it at (CBR)
    I looked at the file size and it said it was estimated at 15GB, which is what I wanted it to be.
    It took 4 hours to encode and when it was done I looked at the file size and it was 23 GB.
    Why? It said it was going to be 15 GB
    I imported it into Encore as an asset and put it on a timeline. Encore says the project is now 31 GB (I do have Animated Butons with Moviing Videos inside of them so that is adding to the size).
    How can I get an accurate size so when it says it going to be 15 GB it is going to be 15 GB?
    Premiere Pro CS 5.5
    Media Encoder 5
    Encore 5.5

    I think the key word is estimated.

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

    I am trying to have the Media Encoder batch convert a bunch of files, but when I try to add the files, the whole program crashes, or when it's on the first few files, it crashes.
    Any suggestions?

    XP Pro (x86) SP3
    Quad Core (Q6600)
    4GB Ram
    Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
    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...
