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
Max

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

Media pending with adjustement layer CC 2014

Hi,
I have so many problem with adobe premiere pro CC 2014
- Media pending with adjustment layer track and some Red giant effects on it. Impossible to rendering ! Please, what the problem ?
- I loose sound sometimes during playback, I can not hear anything.
- Sound make a big noise sometimes, like a 1khz but not exactly. It appears when I go up the volume after adding gain or push up the volume in effect control.
Have you got solutions please ?
Thank you

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.

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...

Media Pending PP CC 2014

Hi, When i open PP CC 2014 it opens my workspace and my recent file. But no preview. It only says 'MEDIA PENDING' on a yellow screen. I know hwat it means, had it earlier, but this time it won't go away and show the sequence preview. 1 out 10 times when i reopen PP it wil show, but will freeze after a few moments..
The file is just below 3 minutes with medium effects/edits. Audio still rolls while playing.
Rendered. Didn't worked.
Media Cache deleted. Didn't worked.
Also tried to work on the file in PP CC. But it can't open (newer edition).
I have to finish the project before saturday. Is there something i can do about it?
Oe maybe a little trick that make the file open in PP CC?

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.

                 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.

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.

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

AVCHD to Premiere Pro with TMPGenc -- Media Pending--Forever!

After much searching for a conversion solution that didn't
utterly destroy the picture quality, I settled on TMPGenc 4 as a converter to make MPEG2 files at a comparable bitrate to XDCam EX, which is our native camera.. one of the four cameras we use on orchestra shoots is the Canon HF S200 (it's the only one that fits on the 11" micro tripod that fits on a 8" deep nook in the orchestra shell). We use this camera for the fixed, locked off conductor face shots.
So, I converted the AVCHD file from the Canon camera to MPEG2 35Mb/S. It plays fine in Bridge, but when I import it into Premiere CS3, it does nothing. No indexing, nothing. Clip displays "Media Pending".. geeze, I remember this problem from HDV days.. one of the reasons I dumped HDV was this Media Pending problem that would cause missed deadlines.
The video clip specs (short test clip from camera 4):
File Path: F:\Project_2\Movie_00_(00026).mpg
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 24.6 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 1920
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00;00;08;29
Average Data Rate: 2.7 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
In addition to no video, there's no audio either.. the audio portion is on the timeline, but it's flatline. Clicking on Normalize, it will boost the level to 96dB, which is an indication of no audio present in the data.
Remember, the clip plays fine in Bridge.
I really, really HATE AVCHD. Nothing but problems. But this is the only camera that fits and can do 24P like the XDCam cameras used elsewhere in the concert hall.. any ideas how to make this Media Pending go away?

I'm on CS3 (mentioned that in the 2nd paragraph of original post) and it says that the AVCH
D camera file is a bad or corrupt file. I can't do anything with AVCHD files.. frankly I don't know why camera manufacturers upset the boat with these crazy new formats.. the world should just be on XDCam EX format like Panasonic and Sony and be done with it.
So I converted it in TMPGenc 4 and got a MPEG2 file out of that which is of good quality. The only problem is that I'm back to the headaches I had with HDV, which is that the video never appears--just that yellow "Media Pending" for the entire clip. I sold my HDV cams because I was missing deadlines trying to troubleshoot that problem frequently, turning 30 minute editing jobs into a multi-day oddyssey of tech support calls, research and hacking the CODECs to get around that problem.
Quicktime works without the Media Pending problem, but a short clip balloons to several gigabytes. I have to deal with a 3 hour clip next week, so I don't think my 1TB drive can hold that much in QuickTime Photo JPEG format.
These are program streams, multiplexed. 1920x1080, 23.976fps, high profile MPEG, 10-bit DCT and high quality motion search. Audio is PCM. Trying to make this mesh smoothly with XDCam footage.

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?

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???

Premiere Pro CC freezes after opening project. "Media Pending"

So I'm editing a music video I filmed with a Canon 60D, 1080p 23.976 fps, and i was chopping and layering clips that had not yet been rendered for the colour correction done on them, which was a slow process. (I have a mid 2010 mac book pro with an upgrade to SSD's and 8GB of ram, 2.4GHz Intel Core i5, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256MB, running os 10.9.2).
ANYWAY, I had to save and close it without rendering it yet and whenever I try and open it again, it opens the project, but then freezes and I get the spinning beachball of doom. I can see the sequence and all the edits that I had done, but the program window is yellow and says "Media Pending". I have to force quit to get out of it because it always says Premiere Pro CC is not responding. This does NOT happen with any of my other projects. This particular project is not crazy huge, but it's larger than my other projects which are few and it's certainly enough to make my macbook cry. I will be very grateful for any help.

PP CC crashes quite often.
Sorry to hear that. Please check out this doc: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
You also might try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Delete media cache
Delete preview files
Remove plug-ins
If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Disconnect any third party hardware
If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
Disable App Nap
Reboot
Report back if anything here worked for you.

Premiere 7.1 Media Pending Error

I'm editing some Sony F55 RAW footage but Premiere Pro keeps showing me Media Pending error.
I've already edited a project with F55 files and didn't had a single issue.
My system is an iMac with i7, 32GB ram, external Promise Pegasus R6 (RAID5) with footage and cache files on it.
Tried to move the cache to the internal SSD but nothing changed.
Is that a Premiere Pro bug?
Thanks
