OMF Export Hangs

I imported a FCP XML project and it seems to be just fine. But now I'd like to export my project to OMF to go to Pro Tools. The export process hangs (so does AAF)...any idea what could be causing this??? I have even tried to cut everything from the sequence and just have two audio clips, and it still hangs.
Other OMF exports from projects I have started in Premiere CS5 seem to go smoothly.
On PC, Win 7 64, CS5 v 5.02

I have had the same and other problems with OMF export ... I wish Adobe would get this working or provide better documentation on the problems. I also wish they would add a way to export CS5 audio tracks to their excellent application Audition 3 which I would rather use than Pro Tools anyway!
I have found that deselecting all the video tracks (no eyeballs) helps sometimes. The OMF export chokes on time remapping, nested sequences and other of PPro's cool features. I have also had problems with audio in the timeline which was inserted as "subclips" from the bin - the exporter can't find the audio file.
Hope this helps, I haven't really solved the problem either.

OMF Export Hangs - Premiere Pro CS5

I am exporting about 19 minute long sequence to OMF. I have about 12 audio tracks - most of these are mono, couple of tracks are stereo. There are no nested sequences. As for effects, there's only one audio gain.
I tried exporting with encapsulate option - after about 5 minutes, the progress bar hangs at a certain point - it hung for more than 40 minutes.
I cancelled the export, and then tried exporting with separate audio files setting - the progress bar hangs at a certain point (a little farther than the encapsulate setting) and is hung again for over 30 minutes now.I can see that all audio (Wav) files are saved in the folder, however the progress bar is hung and the OMF file is at 0KB. Is premiere doing anything? Does it take this long? Or is Premiere is hung?
I am on a very tight timeline and will appreciate help resolving this.
Thanks.
RV

For anyone who might run into similar problem - after trying multiple things, found out the problem. For a few audio clips, the stereo was split into 2 mono tracks and placed on timeline on two tracks. I manually removed each of thesesplit tracks and replaced it with stereo file on a single stereo track on timeline.
And the OMF rendered finally!

Multitrack OMF Export Issue - CS6

Hello All,
Does CS6 not like exporting an OMF when I have a multitrack audio file? It hangs during OMF export (separate files) and never finishes.
If that is the case, what is the purpose of the multitrack audio file.
ex: I have one stereo track, and one multitrack on the timeline.
Thanks!
- Ryan

Hey TacoRye,
I posted about this like a month ago and got no response. It has made my life hell on this job I'm doing. What happens is when you make the OMF PP is taking the entire audio track that is attached to every clip in your video instead of pairing it down with handles so the OMF is huge. Apparently OMF's can't be over 2 gigs with media embedded. The only work around is to render and replace but then your audio engineer doesn't have handles. (You'd think they'd at least give you handle options on render and replace.) I never ever would have started this edit of 10 different videos using the multi track functions in premiere as they obviously haven't thought through the work flow. You can't even match your audio back to original source to try and replace just the audio portions of clips in your timeline. Absolutely pathetic.

OMF export failed due to internal error

I get this error message whatever I do when I try to export as OMF:
"OMF export failed due to internal error"
I tried OMF 1 and 2.
I tried to uncheck "include audio".
I tried an extremely small project (one region, one track).
Always the same error. Problem is there's absolutely no information on what kind of internal error this is.
All other export options (AFF, Open TL and Final Cut) works.
Any ideas?

I suppose that beside CCM 4.1(2) you are using AC 1.4 (1), if yes, then you need to upgrade to AC 1.4 (1) ES11 or upgrade at least to CCM 4.1(3)ES42 or CCM 4.1(3) sr3c

'OMF export failed due to internal error' message

Hi,
Has anyone ever got an 'OMF export failed due to internal error' message when trying to export in OMF format?
I get that every time I try to export in that format.
How can I make it work?
Thanks and best,

Aperture 3: multiple export hangs while generating thumbnails?

Sigh. I was almost ready to write a blog post claiming that while AP3 has its share of bugs, it's not the unusable mess some have painted it to be. This morning I'm no so sure anymore. I think this is stellar update with tons of potential. When it works it screams on my machine and the new features are amazing. But guys, i need the basics to work.
Here's what I've just sent t via the feedback form:
I've been trying to export 29 pictures in web format for the past 40 minutes. I've had to force-quit AP three times and restart my machine twice. Aperture starts exporting at a normal pace but then completely hangs on a "generating thumbnails" process. At this point it becomes impossible to either cancel the task or quit Aperture normally. It also kicks my iMac's fan into overdrive - something that NEVER happens.
This is not good.
Other problems:
- random crashes while using brushes.
- second display doesn't follow "blank" command and keeps reverting to "alternate" even when the menu says Blank.
This is a great version of Aperture with a lot of potential. These bugs are killing me though.
I've just rebuilt the database. If it's still not working I'm going to remove plugins and see if it helps.
Anyone else having problems with this?

Absolutely has to be a bug. This isn't a setting or configuration problem. It might even be a Snow Leopard problem. I had the same problems with A2.1.4 on SL as I do with version A3.0.1. Export hangs seem to happen on images that came from my A2 library that was imported into A3 but originally adjusted in A2. These images were imported from scanned TIFF files. If the adjustment mechanism was flawed in prior Aperture versions then Apple needs to create and distribute a utility that converts these images into something that A3 can use.
I will have to revert to A2 running on Leopard until Apple can get this fixed. If I cannot export, there is no point in running the software. On this discussion thread, we are just trying to fly by flapping our arms.

Scheduled export hangs very often

Hi friends,
I've scheduled export running on DB server-Windows. I've created a batch file with export commands for about 5 databases and scheduled the job to run this batch file every night around 9 pm.
But, the export hangs quite often atleast 1-2 night a week with this message and when I come in the morning I had to hit enter for it to proceed:
batch file: (I've replaced the username,pwd etc in the below cmd, cannot provide on the forums...)

EXP-00028: failed to open dbname_user.dmp for write
Export file: EXPDAT.DMP >It hangs mostly for db3,db4 or db5 exports.. Not consistent either. Just stops with this command. Please give me your suggestions...
Thanks a lot

It could be a couple of issues:
1. The file you gave it may be maxing out size wise and since there is no other file to use, exp builds the default file
expdat.dmp and prompts the user to make sure it is ok to use that file. To get around this, you could add a second
filename to the exp commands. If this happens for more than one job, you are overwriting the expdat.dmp file from the
previous job.
2. If for some reason it can't open that file, it would prompt for the expdat.dmp file.
So, by hitting <cr> when prompted, your exp job will write to the expdat.dmp file. It would be interesting to look at the size of the expdat.dmp file and the size of the file you thought the export was going to write to.

Datapump export hangs

Hi Gurus in the house,
I am using putty to access my database server, and I am trying to export the full database into a directory I created. The problem is that the export hangs at a particular place. My oracle version is 10.2 and I have used both system and a regular user (with exp_full_databse privilege) to do the export several times. The job runs but hangs at the same place and I have a deadline approaching to get export done on this machine and 2 other ones with same problem.
What can i do in this situation? Thanks folks and happy thanksgiving in advance.
BJ

You will be able to run the datapump import with trace option to see what is happenning. If it is running now, you can also use <ctrl>+c, run "status" command, it will show you what it is doing currently.

QuickTime TeXML Export Hangs

I'm using QT Pro for Windows version 7.7.4 and I have a MOV file that contains a text track with a textual timecode at each frame.
If I export the text track to TeXML and the movie is longer than two minutes the export hangs.
Is there are a workaround or fix for this?
Thanks

Opening the XML file with QuickTime appears to have a limit too before it hangs.

I get hangs using plug-ins (NIK), and can't export (hangs/crashes). Anyone experiencing this?

Updated Aperture today (3.4.3) running 10.8.2. Now I get hangs using plug-ins (NIK), and can't export (hangs/crashes). Anyone experiencing this?

Andrew,
In general, I've found the Nik plug-ins to be the least problematic of all that I use. Unfortunately you haven't provided enough information so that help can be focused on your problem. So here are some of the standard steps to take.
1. Make sure you are running Nik's latest versions. There were earlier ones that didn't work properly with ML.
2. Which plug-ings are the problem?
3. Have you tried the repair/rebuild option on your Aperture database? Often what appears to be problems with a 3rd party item actually stem from some sort of fault in the database.
4. If you're really stuck do the following steps: A. Delete the Nik plug-ings. B. Repair/rebuild the database. C. Download Nik's latest versions. D. Reinstall. E. Test.
This is a generic problem solving approach that fixes many things. Also, you should examine if it is a particularly type of file or set of photos or something specific in the images you are working on. A corrupt image, for example, can produce really weird things on occasion.
Hopefully some of this is useful. If not, more detail is needed.

Audition 5.0.1 crash on OMF export

I'm getting a crash everytime I try to export an OMF from Audition 5.0.1 ( and also from 5.0.0 )
I'm on a mac 10.7.3 any clues, anyone else seeing this?

Hi Durin
Actually no it wasn't working on 5.0 either, I tried installing the update patch in the hope it would fix it. Thanks for all your help with this.

Syncing Audio with Merge Clips option and OMF export question/issue

Hi,
In the past when I've edited video, when it came to syncing audio I always did it manually. This time, using Premiere Pro CC, I used the merge clips option, to speed up the syncing audio process, which was a huge time saver with excellent results.
The question/issue I have..is that when I get my OMF exported for my sound editor, will this screw anything up, since on the project file, it doesn't use the original audio file, but the one that was merged. And in the project list, I don't even need to have the original audio file listed, since it's already been merged into a clip, which I used in the project. I know it's the same file used, but will it mess anything up since a merged clip audio was used instead of just dragging the original track onto the timeline?
- Ken

A good way to know for sure (and therefore feel comfortable that you're doing the right thing) is to do a test OMF export, then open this in Audition. This ill show you exactly what you're exporting.

OMF Export issue in Premiere CS6

Hello,
I am trying to export a feature length OMF file for my sound mixer. I have the tracks I want on and selected. I then do File - Export - OMF. I do encapsulated audio, with 60 frame handles. I then start the export. I encodes through the files then it starts "generating metadata" and making its "First Pass Parsing Tracks", but it will immediatly jump to about 1/3 of the way through and just sit there. I have left it for about 3 hours and it still sits there. I have tried saving to various folders/hard drives and still no luck. I have seen people having problems with the omf working with other programs, but I haven't seen many people with this problem. Deadline is fast approaching and I desperately need to get this out to my sound mixer. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Tony

Hi Anthony,
I'm using Premier Pro 6 from the creative cloud, and am also doing a feature length doc. I'm having issues exporting an OMF and it originally came from FCP 7. I'm wondering if you've had any other reflections on the issues mentioned above and if you can offer any more insight? I'm pretty sure I don't have any filter applied anywhere as I had only exported it from FCP 7 when I was in the logging phase.
Someone else mentioned using Audition. Send the whole sequence to Audition and export an OMF from there. Have you tried to send your feature length doc sequence to Audition and has it been succesfull?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan

OMF export for Pyramix and ProTools not working correctly

I am exporting OMF files of very simple timelines (30 second promos) for an audio guy based in another part of the country to do audio post.
He is using Pyramix 7.1.10 and ProTools 9.1, while I'm outputting from Premiere 6.0.1
The problem is that when he imports the .OMF (which is exported 24bit, trimmed audio, encapsulated files), one leg of the music track is always missing
This happens the same in both ProTools and Pyramix
Has anyone else had this happen? Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?
All help appreciated
Thanks
jON

I am a post audio mixer working in ProTools, and I have the same issue, just a little more complicated.
The editors I work with handle a variety of projects, most of which use sound shot with EFP cameras. The audio recorded on these cameras is "stereo" in the sense that there are indeed 2 tracks as a single interleaved file, however, the content is dual mono, with the 2 tracks either being 2 lav mics, or a lav and the camera mic.
Is there any way in Premiere that this can be put onto 2 mono tracks, that are then exported as mono tracks, rather than being doubled up in the ProTools session? Adaptive tracks don't seem to work in this situation. The editors have tried a variety of things, none of which seem to make a difference.
Also, regarding stereo music ... that too has been exported to me as a mono file, even though it was supposedly put onto a stereo track in Premiere.
Thanks for any insights.
