One solution to AME stops encoding using Mercury Engine with an "Unknown Error" - Mac only

I recently switched from FCS to CS5.5 - it's been a somewhat rough ride - and I kept getting an "Unknown Error" if I tried to export a sequence while having the mercury engine gpu-enabled.
After finishing my latest project just three days ago I found a solution, go figure. Well, here it is: the offender were imported dissolves from FCP. They play perfectly in PPro, they render perfectly in software mode, but never once while using the GPU. The solution to that is equally simple: deleting the offending dissolves and create a new dissolve, same length, same effect name, nothing's changed. But now, they render just beautifully using Mercury Engine in GPU mode.
If somebody likes to look into that, I created a small project for re-checking.

Sure, no problem. Where would you like me to put it? Including the sources, its about 50MB (I replaced to original footage with low-res, low-datarate stuff). Or do you only need the project file?

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

    Hello cpikehfx, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    You can try one of the two options below to work around your issue. 
    Drag and drop the files from the desired music folder to the BlackBerry Music folder using the computer.
    Open the desired music folder on the computer
    Go into Computer or My Computer and open the BlackBerry network drive
    Open the Music folder
    Drag the desired music files from the computer music folder to the BlackBerry Music folder
    Try a different Windows profile.
    Go into the Control Panel and create a new user account
    Put some music files in a folder that is accessible by all profiles or transfer them to the BlackBerry device
    Log out of the current profile and log into the new profile
    Transfer music into iTunes or Windows Media Player
    Launch BlackBerry Link and go through the setup configuring the music source of your choice
    Click on the Computer name in the bottom left corner of Link
    Select Music on the left side
    Drag and drop the desired music files from the list to the BlackBerry name in the bottom left corner of Link
    If neither of these options work for you then you will want to contact your mobile service provider and ask that this issues be escalate to BlackBerry support for investigation. 
    Hope this helps. Have a good day.

  • HT3486 can I use my ipad with back to my mac?

    can I use my ipad with back to my mac?

    No, because you have to use AFP file protocol and it is difficult to get going, although one file app does offer it, I have not seen or heard anyone that managed it. You should look in the ipad area.. as this really has little to do with Time Capsule.

    You must be using an update CD.  You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

  • When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

    When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

    Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere.  Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder.  Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
    Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
    If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected.

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

    Some have been reported to cause this error message, so you can check the settings for Firefox.

  • HT4623 on upgrading iPhone 4 to ios 6 using itunes it returned an unknown error then froze completely.  It has the iTunes and USB connector on the screen.  Reset is not working, I get the same frozen screen.

    On upgrading iPhone 4 to ios 6 using iTunes, it returned an unknown error then froze completely with the iTunes icon and USB connector on the screen.  Reset didn't work.  iTunes doesn't recognize the devise anymore.

    if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

    I can't help you with a direct answer.  For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone). 
    If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.

  • My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

    My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • Media Encoder and Mercury Engine

    Does the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 take advantage of the GPU when encoding video's?
    Does exporting from Premiere take advantage of the GPU when exporting? Or is it only for playback?
    I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

    A search for this topic will result in countless discussions about the exact benefit of MPE during the export. While it's primary function is to enable real time playback of many types of footage with effects applied, some of us maintain that it does help with encoding, depending on your source footage, if you direct export from PrPro instead of going through AME. AME does not use MPE at all, for anything. However, many of us have noticed significantly quicker encodes using the direct export instead of running through AME (think on average, 25% quicker). And since the time difference appears only on footage types where MPE makes a difference, it has led some of us to believe that MPE does affect encoding through PrPro.
    Though there have been countless posts on this topic on these fora, I've yet to see a definitive yea or nay from any Adobe tech folks as to whether or not MPE actually has any bearing on a direct export from Premiere, so officially I think it's still up in the air (or "No," since I think that's what the Adobe documentation says). I'm sure one of the Adobe techs will correct me if I'm wrong!

  • One device does not stop ringing when answering FaceTime with another

    Does anyone have this problem; I have a 15'' MBP 2011 OSX 10.8.2., and an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1. When my FaceTime receives a call, both devices are ringing just as they should, but one device does not stop ringing when I use the other to answer the call. However, the call is disconnected after some time (like, if you don't answer at all, the call attempt is dropped). So, my FaceTime calls are constantly dropped. IF I answer and then choose to reject the call with the other device, the call is disconnected.
    This problem occurred some time ago, perhaps with the Mountain Lion upgrade, but not sure - I don't get that many FT-calls but from my family abroad.

    I had the same issue pairing a Mac G5 powerpc with a 2014 Macbook Pro and resolved it. In addition to pairing the devices through System Preferences>Bluetooth, make sure that "Bluetooth Sharing" is checked in System Preferences>Sharing as well. In my case, the devices always say "disconnected" in the Bluetooth panel, but change to "Connected" during an actual file transfer. Try sending a file even though it says "disconnected" and it may very well work fine. It also helps to check "Show Bluetooth in status in the menu bar" so you can quickly initiate a transfer from there.

  • How do I use voice commands with CC on my Mac?

    Howdy all! Just made the switch to Adobe from Final Cut 7. Overall, I'm digging it a bunch.
    However, there's one aspect of CC on my Mac that's vexing me.
    As you may know, there is speech recognition / voice command software built in to Mountain Lion (it's been around for years, and many iterations of OSX). With this software, you can make any number of custom voice commands for another piece of software. For instance, in FCP 7, I can program the keystroke "l" (play track) to respond to the voice command, "Forward." (It can be any word or phrase you type in.) This works with other programs as well.
    All well and good, and pretty dang cool. However, I can't make any voice commands work with any of the CC software (I've tried Premiere and Media Encoder so far). I'm curious if anyone else has had any luck, or, perhaps, that the ported interface from Windows to Mac has some layer of code that (probably inadvertantly) blocks voice commands from working with CC on a Mac.
    Anyone got any tips? Tricks? Confirmation that this simply won't work on a Mac? (If the last, I'd love to know the "why" as well.)
    Thanks!
    Best,
