Media pending/offline footage cs6 help

I've just imported a ton of clips into a premiere file im working on. But its being incredibly slow in loading them. Right now its stuck on "generating peak file for MVI_0870.MOV". keeps getting stuck on this one clip. i've deleted the cache and moved it to a temp folder. Working off school computer so i dont know what else to do. changed computers a few times and restarted premiere a few times. half my clips show the ? symbol on them. others have a preview image but when you put it in the source window it says media pending. other clips are just grayed out. Even the clips that were in my project before won't load. been here 2 hours and need to get this done. help me?

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

Media pending with Encore CS6

Hello,
I have a very large project built with Premiere Pro CC.
The project has 5 "sequences" which are "rendered" before export to Media Encoder CC.
The "transcode" (max quality) runs very well but is very slow (Media Encoder does not use GPU even the "Playback Mercury Engine" is activated), this is worst without Playback Mercury Engine.
The transcoded files are imported within Encore CS6 (no dynamic link between Encore CS6 ane PP CC and no Encore CC version, Adobe decided this but with very bad reasons).
The Encore project has 5 "montages" and one "diffusion list", the menu has "animated" buttons and need to be rendered before creating the final disk (blu-ray).
But when I try the menus before creating the blu-ray disk I obtain :
- media pending message : the audio track is there but the video track appears lated and is not smooth,
- the animated button of menus are very curious : some are correct but others flash in red or green.
- the software Encore freeze with a white screen, then the job may be resume,
- the "complete title" begins normally then the video disappears but not the audio, after 10 seconds the video appears but seems to be frozen.
I checked the links of chapters and buttons, all works normally. The project checking give no error.
I never encountered this with Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6 (dynamic link works).
How can I fix this strange situation without discarding PP CC and migrate to FCPX ?

Hello,
Many thanks for your very long reply and your interest in my problems.

- 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.

Media pending, audio works, please help.

Suddenly Adobe premier does't show any video any more (in any window of the project layout).
All clips are linked correctly and are verified by the project windows - all audio of the clips plays correctly.
This happened after (several manipulations after) it crashed while exporting media containing stacked titles and two simple .tiff pictures (I know it dosn't like stacked pics, so I don't use them much as it always crashes.
Now, the project worked when I removed my still picture stack, so I added them again one-by-one. This time it didn't give a crash message but simply stopped showing ANY video.
I am in a terrible situation now as I have deadlines to meet.
I have reloaded the project, I have tried prevous projects, they all refuse to show any video.
All clips are linked, the time line moves and plays audio, the effect control recognizes all clips.
HELP !! Please.

Thanks for your question:
1. I layer still images for example to have several small pics in different places over the video. That's the most straightforward - in this case, 1 or 2 layers, might work without crashing.
2. I can use png, tiff, jpg, the resut is the same.
3. Situation gets worse with increasing file resolution (size or colour depth).
4. Adding simple FX like cropping (which is the most used FX for still pics) will crash very early. I can can crop stacked video all day with no crashes.
In the current example I was stacking 6 titles of one word, made within Adobe Premier, and making them move around using position and rotate. That worked fine, and then I added two images made of small screen shots of single colour shapes. Everything went ok, even the rendering (which is where often it crashes already). Then the crash I describe above happened when the export encoding was taking place.
Now, before my post I had re-loaded and it still didn't work, and no project would display video media - which is why I panicked - now I reloaded a second time and it works again. But for how long?
Clearly I need to get gto the bottom of this, but how to proceed ?
So far I have not had a crash by using video only - incuding stacked videos.
One thing I noticed which might be a clue is that when trying to import a high resolution picture, Adobe Premier simply gives an error message that the file is to big and unsupported - 'Final Cut' in that situation would ask if it is ok to use a lower resolution and proceed to downsize it.
All of this is daily bread and was so simple and stable with 'Final Cut', I cannot believe that Adobe would have difficuty doing these things - maybe it is an Adobe/Mac thing, but then I have the fast i-Macs (2 of the 27"models with 24GB cache) , Intel chips and all the recommended grahics cards and kit.
Is there perhaps a system configuration using external discs for selected functions which would help? Or is there a configuration that defines cache versus disc, etc?
Thanks to all (and Adobe if you read this) if you can help - can't believe I am the only one.
Best wishes,
marco

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.

Consistently immense loading/media pending times in both CS6 & CC

I've had this problem since switching over to Premiere, and continue to have it since upgrading from CS6 to CC. I can't believe this is actually how Premiere is supposed to work. It's a global thing, not specific to a single project. But I'll use my current project as an example:
I have about 4 hours of media, mostly P2 Avc-Intra, with some R3D as well. Total number of media clips: around 2600.
Every time I open the project, it takes a thoroughly horrific amount of time for the media to finish loading (as evidenced by the "Loaded" status message at the bottom of the screen, and the "Media Pending" screen display on still-pending clips). On this particular project, for example, it takes 12 minutes for the media to finish loading. Needless to say, this is maddening. It doesn't take many crashes or reboots per day before the re-loading process eats up a significant chunk of my billable hours.
I've tried having the media cache in the internal drive/Adobe/Common directory, and I've deleted that and set the media cache for the external Thunderbolt media RAID. Same results either way.
System specs: OS 10.7.5 iMac 2.7 GHz Core i5 20 GB RAM P Pro 7.1.0 (though, as I said, it has been like this in CS6 as well) RADEON 6770M
Hardware Mercury acceleration is not an option (grayed out), so that's turned off.
Results are the same regardless of whether I have the RED Rocket card connected.

Thanks, but no. The footage isn't easily segmented into "this day cuts into only the open of the show" or anything like that. It's all b-roll that gets used all over the show.
(As a point of clarification to my original post, I should note that there aren't actually 2600 shots; Premiere sees each P2 clip as five files due to the 4-channel audio. It's really only a total of around 550 shots.)

Movies offline after restart, "media pending", no re-connecting possible, EL12

Hi,
i was working on a project with .MOV files and Audio (mp3). All worked fine, however when i restarted the programm, the movie files where offline, it says "media pending". Manual re-connection not possible (everytime i choose the mov file it asks again to locate the certain .mov file).
The .MOV files seem not to be damaged, can see them properly in Quicktime.
This happened the second time now. After tghe first I started all over a new project, Same result. Worked fine, next day after restarting... .MOV files not shown anymore.
Using Premiere Elements 12 on a Mac (10.7.5)
Thanks for any help, please let me know what further infos you need.
Ralf

Beraya,
If the problem with that Project IS the Assets, your MOV files, this test might be worth a bit of exploration.
First, Open the problem Project, and Save_As_a_Copy, locating that onto an internal HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
Exit from PrE.
In Finder, Move your used MOV files to a new folder, also on the internal HDD, and make note of that new loacation.
Launch PrE and Open that Save_As_a_Copy Project.
Since the MOV files have been Moved, you should get a message, "Where is file ____ ?" There will be a dialog box to Finder, for you to locate those MOV files, in the new location, to where you Moved them. If you select the first "missing file," then PrE should survey that folder for all missing files, Relinking to each, in that new location. This Tips & Tricks article will give you more details on that "Where is file ____ ?" message: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/990503?tstart=30
When all of the MOV files have been successfully Relinked, test that Project, and please report.
Now, if you have made a note on the exact MOV files, that are causing a problem, I would Move those instead to a separate sub-folder, from the "known good" MOV files. This will allow you to Relink those "known good" MOV files, and you will then get the "Where is file ____ ?" message for the ones in that new sub-folder. Repeat the Relinking process, but watch to see if they again are causing issues. That could narrow things down to just a few files, that might need to be investigated more in depth.
The reason for the Save_As_a_Copy is so that nothing will interfere with your original Project - it will not be used for this test, or touched in any way.
Good luck,
Hunt

Error Message for "Media Pending" or "Media Offline"

This is INCREDIBLY frustrating.
It is my job at a church to produce broadcast-quality segments for our local tv stations for 28 minute slots. I am working with HD-quality videos, bumpers, audio files, etc. It takes my PC about 30 minutes to render each segment and I work with about 4 segments a week. Add that up, and it takes me two straight hours to render each finished product (not counting any edit work), all which have to be done in a day because we broadcast most of the stuff that happens on Sunday the following Tuesday.
That said, I render the final product, after everything has been through quality-control, through encoder because of the FTP option. When I leave every Monday afternoon, I start the queue for the four segments, which, in turn, will spit out the product and FTP it to our server at the tv stations.
But when I come in Tuesday morning and find that AME has rendered four USELESS videos because, instead of informing me when I started the queue there was something wrong with fetching the video files, it decided to render some stupid stock frame of either, "Media Pending" or "Media Offline" - which makes ABSOLUTLY NO sense, for when I open premiere or after effects, it renders quite fine through AME. You can't sit here and tell me that the rendering software requires the project to be open in Premiere or AE. That would be counter productive and impossible for anyone batch-rendering.
Here is what I need: Just a simple, "Hello, there was something wrong with fetching all of the media files in your project (blank, blank, blank) - please check your project file."
Thanks!

Media Files Offline Help

Hi Guys,
Wonder if anyone could help me with this slight problem?
Using Encore Cs4 and Premiere Cs4, sending the project from Premiere, using the Dynamic Link.
Create the Dvd Project in Encore, burn onto disc, no problem.
But when I close Encore and then want to go back into the project again, at a later date, it says the media is offline and I get no preview of the timeline, but the media is there as an asset.
Do I have to open Premiere again and do something in there to make it appear in Encore?
Hope you can help as I am a little confused.
Cheers
Wayne

Hi Neil,
Thanks for replying.

'media pending' message in Encore CS6

So here's the situation:
This is only my second time trying to create a DVD with Premier Pro CC and Encore CS6, this first time I tried doing it this way, it seemed to work fine. Now this time around I am having some difficulties.
I have created a project in Premier Pro CC that is about an hour and a half long.
I exported the video as an MPEG2-DVD format with all of the setting set to their default settings. This gives me a .m2v file (video), a .wav file (audio), and a .xmp file.
I then imported the .m2v and .wav into Encore CS6 as a timeline. This would normally bring the audio and video files into a timeline together, thus bringing me one step closer to creating my DVD.
Instead, when I import the .m2v and .wav as a timeline, I get the yellow 'media pending' screen in my Monitor window where would normally be the video that normally plays.
Am I just supposed to wait a longer time than normal for the media to pend because it is a larger file? I'm not quite sure what to do here. I am still new to creating DVD's this way so any information would be great!
Thank you.
-christian

Yes, it may be a matter of time. Encore must, using the xmpses file, process to see if all is well with the file.
But...

Premiere pro cs6 on my Mac stuck at media pending

I can load my project and it will work for about 1 minute and then when you scrub a clip the thumb nail is replaced by Media Pending. If I go to the next clip the thumb nail comes back but the new clip goes to Media pending and
the time line freezes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and updated several times. I also cleared catch. I can't find any fixes on the web. What can I Do!!!

It sounds like the media may be going offline. Where is your media located? ...local, server, hard drive... etc. If it;s a hard drive or server, ids it possible that the location itself is going offline and back on? Otherwise it may be a media cache problem, in which case you can delete those and re-generate. I (or someone else) can send instructions for that if needed. There may be other possibilities to explore too, but let's start here.

Help Please with media pending problem!!

I've been using PP CS6 for a couple of years on a Rain system with no problems at all. Yesterday evening I deleted several old files on my scratch disc, one of them I think contained all of the cache files for all the projects on that drive. Now every project I open it takes forever to load the media, and I get "media pending" Once it all does load I can't hardly play it back because it keeps locking up. I have several projects that I have to get out and am really in a bind here, can anyone give me a hand??

Ronin,
If we're talking about a laptop, then are you running the 2630 or 2630qm? Most likely the qm version, no? It appears that the 2630qm DOES have integrated graphics:
http://ark.intel.com/products/52219/Intel-Core-i7-2630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz
You ALSO have an NVIDIA card. Again "Optimus" is simply an "Apple-ism" (like "Retina" or "Flash Storage") for Integrated (aka On-board) graphics working in tandem WITH a more powerful graphics card (i.e. the gtx 560m). I would take a serious look at disabling it via the instructions in the link I sent previously. They may not even have thought up the moniker "Optimus" when your laptop was released. I don't know. Regardless, when the computer tries to switch between the on-board (power-saving and weak) graphics card to the NVIDIA card, you might experience exactly the type of symptoms you've described.
By way of example: Take the Asus g75vx. It comes stock with a 3630qm chip. The 3630qm has no option for on-board graphics at all (aka Intel HD 3000, 4000, etc). The g75vx comes with a gtx 670mx, but if paired with the "wrong" i7 mobile chip, it might just as easily have on-board (Intel HD) graphics, too.
Another way to check might be to open up Device Manager and see what entries are listed under under Display Adapters.

Unable to open premiere cs6 projects - "media pending"

Lately when working on projects, it comes to a point where I'll open the project file and nothing will load in the program. All I see is no sequence, and no imported files, just a message that says "media pending". I have done no renaming of files. One day it will work and the next it will never work again. PLEASE help...

Hi,
Can you click on Sequence on the top and select the option of Delete Rendered Files.
Check if this fixes the issue or not.
Thank You

CS6: black or shows 'media pending'

This is a project specific problem:
The video screen remains black or shows 'media pending'. But no HD is at work to find the media.
The audio does play, however, the plot is not visible as can be seen in the provided screenshot.
The program freezes when closing this project.
Project info:
- I am working with VOB (DVD) files.
- The project contains cuts of over 124 hours of DVD video and additional 5.1 audio exports that are linked to the videos again.
- The project files are on an external USB 3 disk.
- 'Save cache files next to originals' is enabled to not eat up internal disk space. When switching to CS6 I deleted all cache files and let Premiere recreate them.
System:
CS6, Windows 7 64bit, 16GB RAM.
Plenty of RAM free when the project is opened. Intel i7 CPU is around 12% continuesly.
I would really like to finish this project that I started in CS5...

I was having this exact same problem: Working on a project without a problem. Then the next day I come back to work, turn on the computer, open the same file and half my media is pending and wont load. (also any new media I import doesnt play in the timeline or source window either).
FOUND THE CAUSE: I tend to 'Save Project As' quite a lot every time I achieve a tough edit. As you know, PPro makes a folder for the preview files of your project. Problem is, if you save as a copy, PPro will make a new 'Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files Folder' for that new version of your project and all your preview files (MXFs and XMPs) will be in different folders. Therefore, if you open v04 of your project it won't find/index the preview files from v01, and so on...
FIX: Quit PPro. Copy all the preview files into your latest 'Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files' project version folder. Relaunch. Back to normal.
Of course this takes more of youre HD space - I figure you can delete the files form the other folders but then if you need to go back to an earlier version of your project you'll need to re-copy the preview files to that versions preview folder. And its a pain to do every time. Adobe needs to fix this issue! Before I found this 'fix' PPro would crash and sometimes I couldn't even import new files (I got a generic import failure message before it crashed) Also...when trying to render the work area it wouldn't render no matter how much time I leave it there...
Hope this works for you..

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.

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.
For Adobe support and for others to know here is a wiki concerning the issue in CS5. FAQ:Why does my clip show as "media pending"? - Adobe Premiere Pro
