Media Pending Issue???

Here is the answer for MEDIA PENDING issue,  after you render on Adobe Premiere CC 2014, all you have to do is click on the little eye icon on the left side of the sequence and then un-click it...or click back on it,,,,,,.and presto!!! you can see your wonderful rendered master piece!!!!  Do this for every video line that you're using. I hope this helps, happy editing!!!

OK - this isn't a codec issue.... I have an old copy of Premiere Elements 2
and I've just installed it. I can import the audio and video and they both
conform and index fine, and quickly too. They cut, render out as AVIs...
they work!
I go back to Premiere Pro CS4 and everything is still pending. How can this
be if it is a codec issue? Surely the codec is there if Premiere Elements 2
can do it?
So why does it all work at work with Premier Pro CS4 but not at home?
Any ideas?

  • Stream DeMuxed Video Media Pending Issue

    I'm extracting portions of a client's DVD video for re-use in another of this client's project.
    Initially, I used DVD Decrypter to create a VOB of the chapter he requested, renamed it to MPEG and plays properly in Windows Media Player Classic.
    Imported that into Premiere CS3 and it did nothing but Media Pending for hours.
    The next day, I re ripped the same chapter with stream decoding. I made separate .m2v file for video and an .ac3 stream, which I converted to wav with HeadAC3.
    I figured this time it would work. But alas, I loaded it into CS3, waited with hope as it 'indexed' video file, and then sat there in dismay as Media Pending screens stared back at me.
    Upon looking at the properties of the video file, Premiere thinks it's 1 second in length, when in reality it is over 26 mins in length.
    Just as a sanity check, I went to another workstation that also runs CS3 and copied the video clip there. But the results were the same after "indexing" process finished.
    Is it my wrong assumption that Premiere can handle MPEG2 video? I was under the (apparently false) assumption that it could.

    In the interim, I found Super© a universal converter program that converts anything to anything else. I converted the video clip to DV AVI and am all set now. Since the clip was a local 1969 television interview, the quality was not good enough to suffer visible deterioration because of the DV color sampling, so it was suitable in this case.
    I did not notice anything on the Virtual Dub web site other than some FX filters they were offering, and did not know there was a hacked version floating around. But generally we don't run 'hacked' software or software whose origins don't trace to a secure, trusted producer on our commercial production machines, so I wasn't inclined to go much further with digging into the VD tools.

  • MEDIA PENDING ISSUE IN PREMIERE CS4

    I've seen this topic get quite a kicking around on these formus, and I've been struggling with this one since February.  I would see media pending anytime I imported HDV footage.  I would see it when I added certain effects like 'Solid Composite" and then prerendered the footage.  I worked with Adobe and they were pretty much useless.  I figured out some fixes on my own, like I noticed that I could capture and work with HDV but couldn't import it.  That was related somehow to those XML files the capture created.  I discovered that nesting footage would help.   I tried avoiding HDV altogether converting my HDV to H.264, but those files can get very large and the conversion can take a LONG time.
    Yesterday I found out what may be causing this.  First of all, if you don't use Windows this won't apply to you.  As an After Effects user, I have always turned on the /3GB switch in my boot.ini so that AE can get more than 2GB RAM.  I've been doing this for years and this has never been a problem.  After reading somewhere that it can have a negative affect on a system with a video card that has 1GB RAM, I decided to experiment.  To my amazement, it solved all those media pending problems that I had.  So far so good, I can import HDV, I can prerender without nesting, I can apply effects to my hearts content, and there is no sign of the problem reoccuring.  It has only been a day, but given the fact that these problems were 100% reproducable on multiple systems with different hardware and different CS4 revisions and now they are gone, I'm pretty optimistic. Hope this will help many of you.  I am curious if it does so let me know.

    Removing the /3GB switch while troubleshooting has long been one of the Quick Tips in this troubleshooting page.
    There are other tips than seem like no brainers, but sometimes people change a seemingly inocuous setting for some reason or other, then they forget they did it and it starts causing a problem down the line. The troubleshooting page is designed to have people check everything to ensure settings are set correctly.
    Glad you found the cause of your problems and thanks for posting your success.

  • Delay on playback when switching between Sequences (Media Pending)

    Hello guys,
    I'm growing quite frustrated with Premiere CC lately.
    So I am running CC on a Desktop PC. Core elements are : Asus X-79 Deluxe, Intel i7 4930K, 32gb ram, Geforce Titan.
    OS (Win 8.1) and CC are running on a SSD. Footage is on internal 7200rpm HHDs.
    All other softwares (mostly Davinci and Red Cine) are working perfectly, fast, no crash what-so-ever. So I thought the system was working fine. But Premiere is a nightmare and I'm trying to figure out where it can come from.
    Some issues appeared recently, on the latest version, and I did not have in the previous ones.
    First, I was facing a huge problem when simply opening clips from the Project window into the Source player. I usually had a 30-second "Media Pending" every time. When working with 1000+ files, it was simply impossible to work. Weirdly enough, I found a trick : when opening the first clip, I would have this Media Pending issue, but (that's where it gets funny), if I did not play the clip, just stay on the first frame, and opened a second one right away, then the second one wouldn't have the Media Pending issue. As long as I stayed on Frame 1 of each clip, I could open the next one without any issue. Then, once I navigate in those "pre-opened" clip, they'd play fine, without delay. But again, if I went a bit further and opened a new clip (not previously pre-opened) I'd have to go through 30 seconds of Media Pending again. F*** annoying. But whatever, I just had to open all clips before starting editing and then it would work.
    But now, I have a very similar issue when I edit further on. Especially if I have several sequences, every time I move from one sequence to the next, it would take several seconds before the video (on the Program Player) would appear. Most of the time, the player just stays black, but a couple of times, I got the Media Pending screen again.
    Then, once this is passed, the playback is all over the place. The most common problem is that the video plays, but if I press stop, the cursor stops on the timeline (the UI reacts to what I do) but the video keeps playing.... and I can press stop like a maniac, it stops playing like 20 seconds later... The UI still reacts, I can navigate menus etc... but the video just keeps playing. I have to wait several seconds before being able to work again.
    I've tried a lot of things : changing the footage to a different disk, updating Video drivers. I suspect it is related to a fairly new function cause I never had these problems on the previous Premieres (the pre 2014.2 version). But right now, I just missed the deadline of a client today because the program was being so slow. You can imagine I feel a bit stressed.
    Let me know if you have experienced stuff like this before, or if you had any idea where it can come from, I would really appreciate your help!
    Thanks a lot!
    Cédric

    Yes of course, I know it's mostly the frustration talking, but unfortunately the issues with the software are important enough to affect my job a lot.
    And they are still here, I'm really trying different solutions, especially since they appeared recently, they must be linked to a new feature somewhere in Premiere. Any idea what it could be? It working absolutely fine on Premiere pre-2014.2.
    Now I open my almost finished sequence, and when I drag the cursor across the sequence, every time it's on a new clip, it freezes for a while. A few seconds. Then that clip plays fine. I move to another shot and it's the same, the video freezes for a while (UI still reacts normally). If I try to just press play, it plays the shots that i already when over, but if there is a new one, the video freezes, sound continues, and I can press stop as many times as I want, it keeps playing.
    Once I have finally gone once over every shot, then the video plays absolutely fine. So I guess it has to do with a cache option. But tried cleaning the cache, moving the scratch disk to a different disk (now it's on a internal ssd, should be fast!) but to no avail..
    At this point, I feel the last 3 options I have is :
    - finish my current projects, and try an entire new workflow for the following ones, and use something else than the MXF container
    - or, finish my current projects then move to Avid
    - rebuild my entire system to see if that changes anything

    I am having the same problem... I think.
    I convert my media through MPEG Streamclip to Apple Pro Res (HQ22) and, interlace my video and have it set to 1920 x 1080 30fps. Whenever I open Adobe Premiere CC and I use the exact information as the footage, it will always tell me that its the wrong sequence settings to the footage, so I click "Change Sequence Settings" (thinking that I have done something wrong. Then that Media Pending will always come up, and then I always get drop frames and the footage looks clumsy. I have tried so many times to change the sequence settings to whatever the Properties of my clips say, and yet the same thing always happens.
    I just upgraded to CC and used CS5 before. I have the adobe suite and don't have a problem with the rest of the Adobe programs. Thinking I might convert back to FCP 7 if things stay this way!
    Can anyone help???

  • Media Pending - Premiere CC very sluggish

    Hi all, I'm a brand new Premiere CC user. I have a new project consisting of Canon c300 and DSLR footage.
    Everything imported fine. The problem is, when I double click on a clip in the Project Window, Premiere is extremely sluggish, and shows "Media Pending" for around 30 seconds or so before the media becomes visible in the Source Window.
    Furthermore, all the other clips in the Project Window remain in "Media Pending" for a minute or more, and only the ones visible on my screen seem to load (if I scroll down in the Project Window, the clips that were below the screen haven't loaded, so I have to wait again). Once they have "loaded," it seems to behave fine, but this is a terribly slow way to work.
    I've tried unchecking both XMP buttons in Preferences, cleaned Media Cache within the program, and emptied out the "Media Cache" folder in Common manually (however I did not touch the "Media Cache Files" folder yet - should I?)
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7 64bit SP1
    Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz
    6GB Ram
    7200 RPM Hard Drive
    NVidia Quadro NVS 285
    -Win7 is on C:
    -Premiere is installed to C: (Internal 7200 drive)
    -All Scratch Disks set to D: (another 7200 Internal HD).
    -All Media is on M: (a third 7200 Internal HD).
    I'm aware this isn't the newest computer, but even the c300 the files play back smoothly. So I doubt that's the bottleneck.
    Can someone help me? It's going to be difficult or impossible to use Premiere if there is constantly a 1+ minute wait to simply open a bin and be able to view footage.

    Hi Metrolens,

    Thanks Kevin.
    So you're saying there's no doubt that this specific problem is caused by an underpowered machine?
    The Media Pending issue is indexing that needs to be done before a file can play. The fact that your media loses the indexing when scrolling out of view, but will playback the clips that are indexed seems to me to be an issue with your computer hardware.

    Will a new video card correct the issue? Can you suggest one I might consider?
    Though your system should work based on the minimum system requirements, I would recommend a new GPU and a new CPU. An Intel Core2 Duo will still likely provide very low performance and you get no GPU acceleration with that video card. Here are the minimum system requirements: System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro

  • PP 2014 Sony F5 Media Pending no solutuion!?!?!?!?!

    In the studio we have couple of Windows 7 machines with the Premere Pro CC 2014 installed
    Currently we're working on a project that was shot on Sony f5 in MPEG4 SStPSQ (4:4:4)
    On all the machines everything works fine except one because of the Media Pending Issue
    We work on windows and we tried to get it solved in different ways
    1.) Searched the web and this forum as well for the answer to the Media Pending Issue. (The hints to move around plugin files and uninstall the Sony RAW plugin)
    Re: Problem previewing raw mfx files
    2.) Uninstalling the Sony plugin + registry cleaning
    3.) Uninstalling all of the Adobe Software using the Cleaner tool + registry cleaning and reinstaling
    4.) Deleted the plugin files from the plugin directory and deleted the cache up is this
    5.) Using the shift key every time to strart PP
    Only thing what we came up just with this
    ImporterF65 file has not much to do with importing the Sony shots but moving it around can generate an import error. The footage is handled by Importer MXF but why does it not work in this case...
    Please post an update if a solution is found.
    Kind Regards

    I just upgrade my system Intel I7 5820K, 16g 2400 ram, Nvidia GTX 970 4G video graphic card, 2 X SSD 256G, 2 X HD 7200rpm 3T, Windows 8.1.
    I tried on different HD and same message Media Pending and freeze. I tried with a new project and import file ands same messsage.
    I'm with the trial version and I'm not sure if will continue with adobe premiere if the problems continue like this.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 gets stuck on Media Pending.

    Hi there,
    I've been having a bit of trouble with PPCC 2014 opening projects then getting stuck with all my footage and assets and after effects comps just displaying with 'Media Pending'. The program still works, opens, and I can save and click around so it's not crashing but nothing loads unless I force it to relink which obviously isn't great when I'm having to edit multiple large projects. These projects still open just fine on regular old Premiere Pro CC so I will continue using that for the time being.
    Media Encoder is also having an issue with After Effects comps that are in Premiere Pro timelines and only display as 'Media Pending'.
    Fortunately all these issues go away if I reboot my machine and try again straight away, but having to reboot my mac just to open a project or do a export isn't exactly preferable.
    I have a Mac Pro (late 2013) with 10.9.4 with 16gb Ram and a AMD D500 3GB card.
    I'm just wondering if anyone has been suffering with the same issues and has come across any fixes.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is my post from another thread concerning the same issue:
    I got through Adobe to connect to me remotely to solve this problem twice. They cleaned the cache and preferences and renamed my Adobe folder under applications (don't exactly know how thy did it.) The problem disappeared only to come back after a little while. No video playback, unresponsive buttons - but playable audio, and media pending for all clips. I told them to report this to tech support. This was about a month ago but no updates still..I know I hadn't had this issue neither with CS6 nor with CC.
    I am currently rendering my project after changing the sequence's editing mode to Quicktime ProRes Proxy to see if it will help. Preview is still preview but as you said maybe the issue is to be with preview settings set to i-frame mpeg. I have read about the mpeg importer plugin to be an issue in previous versions of premiere pro concerning issues with media pending but i might be wrong.
    After changing the sequence settings to Prores Proxy (or if you don't have these codecs installed you may try another codec or google "Prores codec install" and have them installed) the problem cleared away. I have looped the timeline and played it over and over for a couple of hours without the issue surfacing.

  • Slow/unresponsive video playback, media pending, after CC'14 October update

    Encountering a strange issue after the October update. It's a project carried over from the previous CC'14 version, nothing crazy, about an 18 minute timeline of video/.mov clips straight off a JVC GY-HM600U with simple RGB curves/masks on some clips, some Prores422 clips of graphics exported out of After Effects, a couple nested sequences featuring simple text w/ cross dissolves, and a lower 3rd Quicktime with RGB+Alpha. There are some linked AE comps in the project but not in the sequence. Ran fine before update. Here's my system, obviously no CUDA so Mercury Playback is software only:
    Upon opening the project everything is fine, playback is smooth, scrubbing from beginning to end no problem. After a period of time, 10-15 minutes? Suddenly video playback hangs up, with audio continuing to play after . Opening a clip in the Source window displays the Media Pending thumbnail, after 15 seconds it seems to find the media but again it's only a still frame with video hanging up. Then audio seems to hang up and I can't do anything. I can still manipulate the UI but scrubbing through the timeline is completely unresponsive, pressing play does nothing.
    Quitting the program seems to freeze it, the window closes but it stays lit up in my dock and shows Application Not Responding, causing me to force quit.
    A system reboot yesterday seemed to clear the issue up for the remainder of the work day but it's back today. Not sure where the issue is coming from, but seems like some kind of memory leak or something similar since it seems to be a gradual degradation in performance. I'll have to roll back to a previous version to finish up this project until things are fixed.

    Hello,
    Many thanks for your very long reply and your interest in my problems.
    I shall try to answer you :
    - 1) OS :  Windows 7 64 bits Pro SP1, french,
                     Version : 6.1.7601.18247 (Win7RTM)
                     Framework.NET : 4.0.30319.18408 built by : FX451RTMGREL)
                     DirectX : 11.0,
                     OpenGL : 6.1.7600.16385 (Win7_rtm.090713-1255).
    - 2) Yes the media pending goes away but after a couple of minutes (one
    year ago I was using PP CS6 and Encore CS6, I never had this problem
    even with very long files),
    - 3) Yes my GPU driver is updated (Nvidia GeForce 332.21 dated 12/19/2014).
    I never had thiese problems with PP CS6 + Encore CS6 and my projects
    built with these PP ans Encore version were with the same structure and
    length (in PP CS6 : sequences up to 45 minutes, in Encore CS6 chapters
    up to the same time).
    The difference between are in my hardware :
    - the RAM was upgraded from 12 GB to 24 GB,
    - the CPU was overclocked from 3,2 GHz (default) to 3,88 GHz).
    - 4) I shall try up to the disk burn to check if the problem is just due
    to display of "animated buttons".
    I hope my answer will be usefull for you.
    Regards,
    Jacques Gourier.

  • Premiere CC 2014 'Media Pending' & constant hanging/crashing

    I have a Macbook Pro retina, using Canon 5D mk3 footage.
    I am working on a few projects and keep experiencing a problem where the program monitor will just 'hang' on a certain frame during playback, other times (less often) will display 'media pending'. In either case, once that happens, there is no going back. I can still save the project, close and open the program monitor, playback works for audio .. but no playback of video. Sometimes it crashes completely.
    Most of the time I have to save and then quit, and then load up Premiere again. Although it sometimes hangs after about 1 minute of use. I think I have restarted about 20 times in the last 2 hours - its ridiculous.
    - I have tried emptying cache / media cache etc
    - I have tried copying the sequence and pasting into a totally new project only to find the same problems come up eventually
    - This is a new install of premiere on a new install of Yosemite (no preferences applied yet)
    - It seems worse when there are multiple video tracks
    - Can I get a refund for this month of CC? My videos have taken twice as long as they should have because of the bugs in this program.
    - I'm serious

    You're not the only one having these issues. There are couple of threads under adobe forums regarding this issue. Couple of users solved their problem by unchecking the labels regarding XMP under preferences-media.
    I'm on latest mountain lion and also deleted the cache manually under the common folders. Have multiple layers and haven't had issues prior using PR CC 2014 on the same project.
    Same problem as yours, no video only audio playback, unresponsive behaviour and eventually a crash on quit which I have to force quit.

  • Freezing Playback, Media Pending, No Saved Prvw Files -on Pr 6 Cloud.

    Freezing Playback, Media Pending, No Saved Prvw Files -on Pr 6 Cloud.
    My Creative Cloud Pr 6 is freezing video on the timeline and it's driving me crazy. Can't work all day. I've checked all my system settings and all seem to be okay. Running Creative Cloud on Win 7. 16GB RAM with 12GB dedicated for Pr, Ae, Ps etc. 138GB free on C Drive and 1TB free on project drive. I'm working with HDV video from Panasonic HMC150 1080/60i and 1080/30p. What's wrong and what can I do? I just found out there are no "Saved Preview Files" in the Pr Preview folder. "Media Pending" constantly showing when attempting to playback from timeline, even with 1/4 or 1/2 playback resolution. Timeline video display head showing thumbnail of a completely different video clip. My video card (EVGA GTX 580) is getting hot excessively. It's inbuilt fan is ok. All system fans are ok. I had to put extra fans on it. Product update issue or what? Thank you. I need help.

    Hello Jim.
    Thanks again for the link. I thought that would help but I started another project and the timelinve video was freezing on a 10 minute AVCHD clip.
    It even freezes on a 2 minute clip, so spanning is not the cause of the problem. My system is running on only 6Gb of my 16Gb RAM, so memory is not the issue.
    What else can be the problem?
    Meanwhile, my C Drive is filling up real fast with Pr cache files. I deleted the ccache file in it's folder and cleaned up cache files through Pr. Could that be the problem?
    Most of the clips I'm working with were imported before the cache cleanup/delete. Even at that, the cache folder has grown about 80GB after the cleanup?
    I mostly use Pr, Ps and En, Ae once in a while.
    Thanks

  • Premiere CC Media pending

    I just checked on the Adobe site and this problem seemed to have been a real issue until last year. With an increasing growth of files within Premiere it seems to be unable to connect to them. I get that now getting the message: media pending. All files have been loaded and I can hear the sound, but even in the preview you can not see any pictures/videos. I have got over 100 files connected, including 3 camera views in HD plus some clips and scans (some files are 600 dpi though as I need them quite big to zoom into those A4 pages, like indidual (musical) notes from a score. I always mirror my files as so many times the premiere file has become corrupted and was not being able to be opened again.
    But no matter which file (or copy) I open at the moment it won't give me anything but sound.
    I have got 11 GB RAM reserved for Premiere so that should be enough ... and on the scratch disc I got 460 GB left (within a 2 TB harddrive), but maybe I will need more Crucial CT256M4SSD2BAA 256GB M4 SATA III 6Gb/s MLC 9.5mm 2.5 Inch Internal SSD for RAM for Adobe to get it sorted. Currently Windows 7 ultimate runs on such a solid state drive but perhaps I will have to install another one just for RAM like I mentioned to cope with the work.
    Actually sometimes when I shut down Premiere now and try to restart it ... hoping that the files will be properly displayed, Premiere does not start at all. I really don't know if that is a bug again or maybe the bug that was mentioned to be fixed last year was not fixed completely.
    Another side effect seems to be that some files (sound as well as pictures, get corrupted being imported into premiere. So pictures all of a sudden get faulty lines or sound crashes that have not been there before. Then I copy them from a backup folder and they load fine.
    So I really don't know what Premiere (import) sometimes does to files.
    But at the moment it worries me most that the video and picture files are not being displayed so I can't do nothing at the moment, as I have to animate music score on music (showing the notes when I can hear them or the explanations for them).
    Hope somebody can help as I am through all these very upsetting problems  several days behind schedule.
    Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Motherboard (Socket 1155, ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, HDMI, Bluetooth Module)
    PNY nVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Graphics 1536MB PCI-E DVI-I Dual Link/Mini HDMI

    can not remember, which harddrive I work on
    have several installed but I baught this one at the time I was putting all items together
    Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive

    Well, the agent said that this was the case. In fact when I was relinking the files on this pc it would not even let me do that.
    with NLE you mean drag and drop? I mean normally, if you copy something for backup (like a picture or whatever file) you normally just copy it to another harddrive or even the whole project to keep the structure of the tree. That is how I learned to do things like with Pagemaker or now InDesign. So if you want to keep or safe a magazine for example you just take the whole folder with all connected pictures and adverts and copy it to an external drive and that is all it normally needs.
    Not here apparently.
    But when you say the project manager has it's own set of issues. I think there is hardly any major programme within the Adobe collection that has not any issues. The amount of complaints I can see in the community. The issues might be small sometimes (just a guess) but it just proves that the collection is anything but (fully) trustworthy. Really not good for a product that is supposed to be for professionals as well as average users.
    At the moment, if somebody would ask me for my judgment, I would not really know if I could recommend it. But then .... I do not know how well Programms like Pinnacle or others have. Might be the same ... nothing is perfect in life .... yet it is really annoying that you work really hard for weeks and weeks and all of a sudden ...
    Yes, the relinking should work just flawless, like in InDesign  .... no problems. So I really wonder what result I might get if I really have to go from scratch. I did not get to the point discussing with him that some TIF files got corrupted (getting lines) after being imported to Premiere. When I overwrote those links by the same TIF that I had on another drive for backup, it would be fine in Premiere as well.
    So that is another issue. I already updated my pc-guy about the situation and let me know that we should first check on the system as Premiere needs quite a while to launch, really, then install the new RAM or say extra RAM of 256 GB SSD to make it really fast and then see what we can do from there. I just hope to get going very quickly as all of this delay is anything but good and people do want results. And facting these problems: if this is your job making money with it, can you ever be sure to get anything out? I mean, if customers ask you: when will it be ready? The only thing you may say is: if everything goes according to plan and nothing unusual happens it should be ready then and then. But it could be delayed for months ... if you can't solve problems like this. That is not really satisfying.

  • Stuck on 'Media Pending' PP CC 2014 8.0

    After the first import of all my MXF files into Premiere Pro CC 2014, it's now stuck on 'Media Pending' since I reopened the project.
    Cleared cache etc to no avail, seems to be a common issue but I haven't came across a solid fix yet, anyone else having this issue or found a solution? I have deadlines to meet which makes this very irritating!
    I'm running on 64-bit Windows 7, 16GB RAM, Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 2.40GHz

    Best fix I've found so far is to convert all my MXF files to MPEG2, that solves the pending media issue, but it shouldn't really be a problem in the first place...

  • Opening all projects freezes Premiere with Media Pending

    Hi there,
    I've run into a problem with Premiere Pro CS6.  Last week, I experienced a crash while working on a project, and ever since then I have been completely unable to open ANY of my saved projects.
    Whenever I now try to open any saved project - regardless of whether it contains any footage or not - Premiere immediately freezes unrecoverably.  The same thing happens with newly created projects.    If the project contains video footage, the 'Media Pending' preview shows on the frozen page - if there is NO video footage in the project (which would be rare, obviously), then it just freezes without the Media Pending message.
    I can, however, open a previously saved project by opening Premiere, creating a NEW project and importing an old project or sequence into it.  Using this method I am able to encode one video at a time.  I can not use Adobe Media Encoder to queue up video sequences for encoding - Adobe Media Encoder also crashes (freezes) whenever I attempt to start the encoding queue.
    Steps attempted to resolve this issue (all unsuccessful);
    Uninstalled the Adobe Master Collection CS6 completely, followed by a reinstallation.  No change.
    Uninstalled every Adobe application on the computer, then deleted every remaining Adobe directory I could find - including those contained in Program Files, Program Files (x86) and in my user profile directory.  Also emptied my Media Cache folders.  I also then ran the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and removed everything it would allow me to from CS6 and below.  Followed by a reinstallation.  No change.
    Both of the above installing back without any patches (Premiere CS6.0.0) and with patches (Premiere CS6.0.5).  No change.
    Emptied the 'Temp' folder for my user profile.  No change.
    The one slightly useful thing that I have found is that if I create a new user account in Windows and open Premiere from there, everything seems to be fine - so the issue would seem to be related to my Windows user account ... I just don't know how to fix it.
    I do not want to simply eraze my current user account because it would take me ages to restore all of my preferences, applications and whatnot to their correct configuration - and there's no guarantee that the same thing wouldn't occur again (especially given that I've seem similar reports from other people, so it's not an isolated incident).
    Other than Premiere and Media Encoder, I'm not aware of any other Adobe application suffering from a problem.
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro, SP1, incidentally.  Thanks in advance for any help or insight anyone can provide.

    The user profile may well be damaged, but it's pretty difficult to Google user profile faults when the only applications displaying any symptoms whatsoever are Premiere and Media Encoder.  Add to this the fact that there are numerous other reports of the same thing having happened to other Premiere users for a range of reasons (including font conflicts and external or virtual drives).  Also, the issue materialised not at an undetermined time - but precisely when Premiere suffered a crash, in use.  It would be irrational to rule out the possibility that something external to Premiere could have caused the crash, but whatever has been damaged would seem to be directly related to a resource that Premiere was using at the time.  Identifying that specific resource would be invaluable.
    Anyway, this is all pretty moot now - I'm in the process of setting up a new profile.  I'll just have to hope that it won't occur again.  I would like to have spent some time trying to identify exactly which aspect of the profile was affected, but sadly time is an issue.
    If anyone else is experiencing similar symptoms and stumbles upon this thread, they might want to look at this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4323738.  It didn't help me, but maybe it'll be of use to someone else.
    Also worth considering is the possibility that external drives, virtual drives or virtual file systems have also been reported as causing these symptoms (for example, I'd used a Linux file system integrator/emulator some months ago - not that this had coincided in any way with these issues for me).
    Thanks for taking the time to respond, Jim.

  • Most media stuck on "media pending", apparently indefinitely

    I'm trying to export a queue of PrPro sequences in Adobe Media Encoder CC. When I click on Export Settings and see the preview of the output video, most or all of the media is hung up on the "media pending" placard, or sometimes the "offline" placard. I can't detect a pattern of any kind as to which files load and which don't--it's seemingly random. All of them load without issue when the project is opened in PrPro. I know it can take time to load all the media, but it has taken close to 45 minutes now with no apparent progress (it would help if I could see some kind of progress bar, just to find out if it's loading everything very very slowly or something). I cannot figure out why the media won't load. It hasn't done this before until very recently.
    So far I've tried restarting AME, restarting my computer, clearing the Media Cache Files and Media Cache in Adobe > Commons folder, and clearing preferences for AME. My system specs are:
    AME CC Build - 8.1.0.122
    OS - Mac OSX 10.9.5
    Hardware - MacBook Pro 17"
    Under a deadline of tomorrow morning... please help!!

    UPDATE:
    All of the "media pending" files were Photoshop files (CS5, if that's important). After making .jpg versions of those files and replacing them in PrPro, they showed up without issue in AME.
