Error compiling movie: Unknown Error during render

Over the past day or so, I've been having some issues rendering out my premiere pro sequence. It is `1920X1080 sequence with the DSLR sequence settings. I'm attaching an image below to give you an idea of my sequence settings. Everytime I select: render effects in to out, immediately receive the error message a video preview box shows up saying "error compiling movie: unknown error" I literallly have tried everything- first I trashed my preferences, changed my scratch disks, but neither of these did the trick. I also created a new copied sequence where I tried isolating files to see if any one file in particular was being problematic, and the same error message showed up. A lot of people on this forum have noted that the problem primarily lies with images, but I know it's not that because I've tried removing all of my images and just dealing with footage. I've basically tried having a sequence with every single combination of footage and nothing has worked.

Error Compiling Movies: Unknown Error while exporting

Hey guys...I searched every where and have yet to find a solution to my problem so sorry if this is a repeat post...but as the title states, I get an "unknown error" message after successfully rendering my clip/sequence and trying to export. So the error occurs while trying to export my rendered clip. The exact message is "Error Compiling Movies: Unknown Error. This has been extremely frustrating as I have done tons of edits with out experiencing this issue. It started happening out of no where. Anybody got any advice or fixes? Much would be appreciated.

V3 LOOKUP Reply (Call In ....) Error: NFS3ERR_NOENT -   This is by design of OneFS, we coalesce files and then flush them out to disk which is why the commit time is accurate but the file is not immediately available. however when an async option is used within the mount options this should be avoided if writing asynchronously to the cluster. Has anyone else seen this behavior lately? (current workaround is to store locally and transfer to the cluster via Finder)

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".

Error compiling movie. I/O Error.

Hello.
Im not sure if i should have posted in the hardware section.
I have done some reaserch on this problem but haven't really got the solution.
It doesnt matter what format i export it always gives me this error. With h264 and some else, its a bit different too.

I downloaded and installed the Win7 codecs by Shark. Because...there are any other codecs available for win 7 ?
Tell me if need any more info..which u probably do.
If there are any better forums for this kind of problem then please tell me.
I hope we can fix this prooblem.
I think i haven't said my motherboard. Its P5E3 PRO. It has EPU engine and it turns off the hard drive when its idle...Premiere pro and all the sytem files are installed on my C drive which is like the main drive. On D drive i keep my music, downloads and stuff. I think it can turn of both drives then idle, but mostly it turns off D drive, I think. I have a new motherboard and i haven't got the hang of it how it shuts them down.
But i think this really isnt a problem.
Thanks in advance.

Serious hardware problems!
Go for a fresh install of OS & programs, but be prepared to first check your disks with a utility from the drive manufacturer (WD and Samsung). You may need new disks.
Great to include these details, but for readability I suggest you include these as an attachment instead of in the text. It may scare people off reading all that detail.

Error compiling movie 'unknown error' premiere elements 11, tried every troubleshoot, what now?

I'm trying to export a video and I keep on running into this error message, which stops the export process. I've already visited and tried the troubleshooting suggestions on this page and this page, and this page, and none of those suggestions have worked. Here's a list of what failed:
Export in various file formats, every single one failed
I removed each asset individually and tried to export the video after each removal (100+ assets, imagine how long that took) and I got the error after every single time
I removed the front half of the video and tried exporting, still failed.
I removed the back half of the video (because if it failed if I removed the front, the problem asset should be in the back, right? nope.) and tried exporting, it still failed.
I don't have any Auto Color, Auto Contrast, Auto Levels, or Shadow/Highlight on any of my clips, although if I did, I'd try removing them.
All of my video files are the same format, so it's not a mix of formats in my timeline which is causing the problem.
I tried disabling auto-save, but it already tried to auto-save during the first 20 times I've attempted this, so the damage might already be done.
I obviously didn't use any other programs during this process
I moved all my assets to a different location on my harddrive, then reopened the project and refound the assests one by one, each of which had no problem getting into the timeline. I tried rendering after this, and the render bar sailed along until a certain point, where it got stuck indefinitely. I cancelled the render, which froze the program. I had to close it and re-open the project, and re -link every asset again. Once again there were no problems adding the assets. I saved the project before the next render, so I wouldn't have to do this a third time, and it was a good idea I did, because the program froze again during the subsequent render.
My computer didn't go to sleep or hibernate during the first 5-10 times I tried various methods for exporting. It has slept in some of the 10+ times I've tried it since, because I don't have the patience to sit in front of my screen and watch it fail again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. CAN YOU TELL THAT I'M FRUSTRATED???
The first thing I noticed that was wonky with this project was when I first tried to render my sequence. The render window chugged along just fine until it got to a certain point (can't remember the %), at which point it got stuck indefinitely. I had to cancel the render, and then render other parts of the sequence bit by bit, avoiding what I thought was the problem part. I tried rendering the problem part, and it got stuck again, so I eventually just decided that that clip didn't need to be in this movie, so I deleted it from the timeline. All should be good at this point, my whole timeline is green from being rendered. But, when I tried to export the video, I started down this tourtuous path of failed exports and frustration, and now here I am, posting in the forum, hoping someone can help me out.
The problem asset (if that was the problem in the first place) isn't in the timeline any more, but I'm still having issues exporting the movie. The fact that rendering still gets stuck after re-linking assets, and after getting rid of the first problem asset, makes me think that there is some bigger underlying issue, but I have no idea what that could be. I followed these instructions and re-opened the project, tried to export, and still got that 'Unknown Error'.
Please assist before I put my fist through this company computer.

During one of my isolation tests, I stripped the timeline off all assets except clips from the same footage and I also removed that New Blue effect, and the project exported without issue.
Did you run a control which included "with the New Blue effect" in this isolated test which does not sound like the "Full Project" as suggested in what you wrote next?

Could multiple renders and project files be part of the problem? I've created many, many different versions of this project to test and see where the problem is, which in turn means I've created many different render files for each different project. If this could be part of the problem, should I keep the original project and delete all my test projects and associated render files therein?
Each of the projects should have its own name which will be applied to its files. And each project should have rendered files specific to it (for SD project whether video or still clip = DV .avi file; for HD project whether video or still clip = MPEG2.mpg file). Are you naming these different projects with distinctive names?
Have you expanded the Timeline with the -+ slider and closely inspected the track content for
a. leftovers such a very thin vertical black lines scattered about
b. gaps
c. transitions, and especially audio placement
You have probably seen the following, but I will post the link just in case. I suspect you have been there and done that.

Please let us know what the closer inspection of the Timeline content (as mentioned) revealed.

Error compiling movie. Unknown error. In both Premiere and Media Encoder

I am trying to export a a batch of six sequences, out of Premiere Pro CC to my internal hard drive using the Apple ProRes 422 Quicktime setting. All of the sequence exports are failing in the first couple of seconds. This happens if I do them individually directly out of Premiere and if I export them out as a batch to Media Encoder. All get the same "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." error message. I have tried restarting the computer, that didn't fix it. I had the same problem with some other files yesterday but I was able to export them out individually OK. But with this batch, no dice. The sequences are all fully rendered. There aren't any problematic clips in the sequences, not that I can tell. None of the sequences is very long, only about 1-2 mins each.
Any ideas?
My system details are:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
plenty of space on my startup disk

"Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" or program crash when rendering

I just built a new PC because my Macbook Pro couldn't render fast enough. Now that I have built this brand new computer, I can't render at all! I render once and get the "Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" and if I try to render again, the program crashes.
My files are not corrupt as I can render them without problems on my laptop (just slowly) and on a friend's PC. I can export fine but the project I am working in is currently very small. I have 450gb of space and when using After Effects, rendering is a breeze. I have restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing seems to be doing the trick.
I feel like this must be a bug in Premiere Pro CC. Has anyone had this problem and/or come up with any solutions?

You may have more luck getting help with this kind of problem on the AME forum. Or at least have a look at this page from the AME forum prompting you for the information that can help in isolating the cause of this problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1011883.

"error compiling movie: unknown error" in premiere cs3.2 / win8

This happens during both Export and Render Work Area, as soon as the renderer hits one of my assets. Initially, this asset was an uncompressed AVI with an alpha channel, over another uncompressed AVI. You can see the Progress bar suddenly get extremely slow when it hits that point, and then it gives the unknown error within about 10 frames. As far as I remember, this NEVER happened when I was rendering on my laptop, running Windows 7 (a former temporary setup while I was waiting to get a new workstation).
I've tried taking some pressure off Premiere... I rendered the sequence in AfterEffects, so Premiere didn't have to deal with the compositing. I also wrapped the asset in a MOV container, with PNG compression, so the files weren't so large. This seemed to help in certain cases -- using this method, I can get through some of the biggest assets. It still happens a bunch of times throughout my sequence, though.
I have the rendering optimized for "memory" in the project settings. I also have more than enough hard drive space on the drive I'm exporting to.
My instinct and limited powers of observation suggest to me that this is a memory problem. This computer's not exactly a world-class production system. However, there are other clips -- mostly HD footage directly from the camera (HVX200) but also some shorter-duration uncompressed AVI's -- that seem to render fine. Plus, even some clips already recompressed to MOV's in AE are causing the same problem. I don't want to have to fiddle with this on every project til I can afford Adobe CC... has anyone else seen problems like this, and found some kind of broader solution to them?

I'm getting an error compiling movie Unknown error. It's always been fine before.

Hi I'm getting an error compiling move Unknown error. Its always worked fine on my mac before.
I've tried trashing my render files and switching to mercurey playback software only but it won't let me render or export.
It might be to do with Magic bullet looks plug in but I've used it and hope I don't need to remove it as I love it.
Please help!

There's no one solution for Unknown Errors. You'll have to experiment with different things, hoping to stumble upon something that works.

Changed Video Preview "Error Compiling Movie" "Unknown Error"

Hi All,
I am running
10.8.3 OSX
2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16gb 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
AE CS6 11.0.2.11
PP CS6 6.0.2
So I have 2 dynamic link AE comps in my premiere sequence just with some blur transitions & simple animated graphics.
I was having trouble with the blur quality from AE to Premiere so adjusted my Video preview settings from,
Created a new sequence and had these settings, copied and pasted the content from the first comp,
Unrendered my dynamic link blur works (yay) but when I try to preview render my sequence I get the wonderful error "Error compiling movie. Unknown Error"
Any suggestions?
I have tried opening and closing the programs, replacing the dynamic links in the seuquence...
Thanks in advance!

05555...did you get this reconciled??? If so, what did you do....I have encountered the same window myself, today.

One cause for "Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error"

I just finished a huge promotional video project, one which was fraught with problems.
To start out with, most of my interview footage was RED Epic material, and my b-roll was comprised of a combination of RED Epic (some at 4kHD and some at 5k), RED ONE (some at 4k, some at 3k), XDCAM-EX 1080p, HDV 1080i, Sony AVCHD 1080p, previously exported Vimeo HD h.264 material, and still shots. Needless to say, quite a mess of codecs and odd file types to combine into one project.
Since much of my b-roll was 1080p, I decided to do my entire edit on a 1080p timeline; however, since all my interview footage was RED, I decided to use a RED Epic 1080p timeline. In doing so, I discovered something important about Premiere, and I don't know if this is a bug, or if it's meant to work this way: when you put 5k RED Epic material on a 1080p timeline and use the zoom controls in the motion effects panel to bring it to size, and attempt to export, you'll get the "Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" every time. This may happen with other types of footage that's too big for the timeline too, i'm not sure. However, when you instead right click on the clip and use the "scale to frame size" command, it exports just fine, with no errors.
I also discovered that (at least with my setup), PrPro can't handle large stills on the timeline; I contiually got OpenGL crash errors until I resized all my images in Photoshop to be no more than 1920px wide.
The promo video is 11:30, and comprised of five segments. I edited each segment (interview and b-roll) in it's own sequence, and then nested the sequences along with the transition/motion graphics/title slides between them on my master sequence. However, I kept getting crashes and freezes when attempting to export that master sequence which I couldn't explain. Ultimately I had to export each of the individual sequences as a Lagarith UT AVI file, and then import that file back in and place it in the master sequence where the nested sequence had been. Once that was done it exported fine, so I'm still not sure what the problems were, since each individaul sequence exported okay, and the master exported just fine after replacing the nested sequences with the Lagarith clips...
Anyway, I think I've got a pretty good promo done, and it's definitely a TON better than our last one. When I get it online I'll post a link over in the Lounge and ask for feedback...

So, I ran into this the first time recently. I discovered it when I copied an adjustment layer for quick grading with an RGB Color Corrector and Color Balance effects in it from a rehearsal cut of a short film.The effects worked fine and rendered out without issue. I imported the sequence into my 'final' cut so I could reuse the titles and adjustment layer. I copied the adjustment layer to the new rough cut of the final sequence and ran into this error when I tried to render it, but only after applying the adjustment layer. I found that if I turned off the Color Balance, the sequence rendered fine. I found that if I moved the Color Balance above the RGB Color Corrector, the effect of the RGB effect completely disappeared AND it rendered correctly (both effects turned on) - so reversing the order worked, but effects were weird. I also found that if I added ANY non-GPU accelerated effects to the RGB Color Corrector that I'd get the same compile error (unknown).
I went through and deleted clips until I got to 0 on the timeline, added a new one back on, and it still wouldn't render. So, I created an entirely NEW sequence, copied all video and audio (not adjustment layer) from the original failing rough cut of the final sequence, and pasted it into this new sequence. I also copied the adjustment layer again from the rehearsal cut into this new sequence and it is rendering just fine.
HOURS WASTED DOING THIS! It would be awesome if Adobe actually tested their products before releasing them instead of forcing us to do it for them. My project consisted of about 30-40 different clips and audio, all from the same DSLR (Nikon D810), nothing fancy, two effects in an adjustment layer applied to the entire sequence, and Premiere couldn't handle it. Given this and some of the comments I read while troubleshooting this on this forum, gives me pause in trusting Adobe products for any real work that has a deadline (unless, of course, you build in the required Adobe testing time into your budget).
So, just another data point; something else to try. Create a new sequence, and copy everything from your non-working one to it, and see if this will jump-start Premier. Worked for me. Good luck.

My specific "error compiling movie" situation

There are a few threads in this forum relating to "error compiling movie" messages, but none relate to the problem as it manifests itself on my system.
First of all:
CS 5.5.2
Windows 7 64-bit
Nvidia GTX 460
16 GB memory
i7-2600
Now, I have a project which has a wide variety of media, from AVCHD to iPhone video. It's about 17 minutes long, and I can output the entire project as a Windows Media file with no problems. But if I try to output an Mpeg-2 DVD file from within Premiere, I get an "Error compiling movie. Unknown Error" message. If I try to output a Mpeg-2 DVD file in AME, it will lock up at different points each time. But, if I use dynamic link to bring the project into Encore, it renders fine.
What might be causing this? I've read on this board that down converting AVCHD footage to SD using Encore does not produce a video that looks as good as doing it from within Premiere, so I'd like to be able to do this.
J. D.

I can't say why it's happening. But you can install a free, lossless codec like Lagarith or UT and export out an lossless AVI file. Then you can use AME to create the MPEG form that AVI Master.

CS 5.5 Export - Error Compiling Movie - Unknown Error

I am running CS 5.5 and every time I export in Premiere or in Media Encoder - I get this message:
Error Compiling Movie - Unknown Error
I have tracked it down to a video clip with alpha channel. I have some animated overlays - If I turn off this layer it exports fine, but unfortunately I need the animated video with alpha in the exported file.
The video is using the Lagarith Codec. I have updated the codec and still getting the error. I have also tried using other codecs that support an alpha channel, like the Matrox IFrame with Alpha codec and the same problem exists.
These are TV shows and I need to get this resolved if anyone has any suggestions. I've done hundreds of these same formatted shows in the past, so it is not my system, drives, cpu, etc. This did not happen on previous versions of Premiere Pro.

Hm-m,
Obviously, you are using the Alpha Channel for some Transparency. Are there any other Effects applied to that problem Clip?
If you could post a screen-cap, showing that Clip Selected (and probably the Effects Control Panel also), plus the underlying Clips on the Timeline, perhaps someone can see an issue there.
You do have the 64-bit version of Lagarith installed, don't you?
Good luck,
Hunt
