PP CS3 Error Messages when rendering

I'm having an issue with Premiere Pro CS3, and am receiving a variety of error messages, along with occasional accompanying crashes. I will post my system specs following a detailing of the issues.
I have read the DV primers, the FAQ, the Premiere Pro help document and was unable to find a solution to the issue.
In addition I have searched the internet:
http://www.google.com/search?q=[..\..Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1 280&bih=607&prmd=ivns&ei=y-vvTebvH6qt0AHp6b32DA&start=10&sa=N#q=[..\..Src\PPixHandleUtilit ies.cpp-114]&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=ivns&ei=pwbwTeXSCIq5twfc4LTCCQ&start=0&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r _gc.r_pw.&fp=711da0863f755a&biw=1280&bih=584
And have searched the Adobe forums as well:
http://forums.adobe.com/search.jspa?resultTypes=DOCUMENT&resultTypes=MESSAGE&resultTypes=C OMMUNITY&resultTypes=TASK&resultTypes=PROJECT&resultTypes=SOCIAL_GROUP&resultTypes=COMMENT &peopleEnabled=true&q=[..\..Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]
None of the suggestions, including the various links with additional information given, has helped in this matter, and I was wondering if anyone else has ever figured out this issue.
I currently have a HD 1920 X 1080, 29.97 fps, 00;23;43;00 minute film edited in Premiere Pro.
I have 4 video tracks (including 1 transparent), and 3 audio tracks.
I am attempting to render out a .mov with H264 compression with 100% quality at 1920 x 1080 using the Adobe Media Encoder.
I've also tried rendering smaller and less quality wuicktimes with the same results.
All of the imported files are quicktimes .mov's rendered out of Adobe After Effects CS3, using the Photo-JPEG codec with no (best quality) compression.
The premiere project file is located on an external USB hard drive (my C drive is full), amd the scratch disks are directed to that same drive, with more than 60% free space on it.
I have checked for gaps in between clips/sequences using the page up and page down method, and have found none. I have also looked for audio being longer than the video, but haven't found that either. For the sake of thoroughness though, I have laid down an additional video track with a transparent video to be on the safe side.
I have optimized the rendering for memory, and have set the affinity for the premierepro.exe in the task manager to the first processor only. (I have 4)
I have cleared the memory cache and attempted multiple reboots.
I have closed audio waveforms, closed video picons, and closed the Program Monitor.
All to no avail.
Importing this PP file into a new PP file, loses all of the edits I've made.
When I render, I still get either one of, or some combination of the following errors.
"Debug Event"
[..\..\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.ccp-114]
This error pops up most frequently. During rendering, it will stop arbitrarily, never on the same frame so far, and then I have to hit continue multiple times, and the program allows me to continue to work on my edit.
Sometimes this will come in conjunction with the following errors.
No Output Generated!
Premiere Po is running very low on system memory. Please save your project and proceed with caution.
Application failed to return a video frame. Cancelling the Operation.
Sometimes these errors are accompanied by PP crashing, sometimes not. Sometimes, PP won't even begin rendering and will crash immediately upon pressing the render button.
What makes this all the more frustrating is that I've already rendered out a 7 minute version of this film, using the exact same After Effects rendered .mov files. In fact, I merely added onto what was already there for this longer version.
The only thing that I can think of left to check, that might be an issue (I am still learning), is that when I began rendering my quicktimes in After Effects CS3,
When I send the project to the render cue in After Effects, I render at best quality, full resolution 1920 x 1080, using the Photo-JPEG codec with no (best quality) compression.
In the Composition Settings, I have the Preset set at HDTV 1080 29.97, 1920 X 1080, 29.97 fps. However for 75% of my work as was rendering with the Resolution drop box at quarter 480 x 270.
At some point I noticed this, and thought, well gee, I want HD, so I rendered the remainder of my quicktimes with the Resolution dropbox set at full, 1920 x 1080. I thought this was odd, because all the quicktimes that I rendered out with the Resolution at quarter, seemed to come out into full 1920 x1080 HD, but figured I’d change it nonetheless to see if there was a change.
I have not rendered a new version out of Premiere Pro since I made that change in my After Effects rendered quicktimes.
I am in the process of checking to see if deleting those last quicktimes from the timeline will solve the problem, but thought I would get a jumpstart on asking about the issue because I have a sinking feeling that it won’t.
Anyway, thanks in advance for anyone who can address this issue.
What follows are my system specs.

Thanks again!

Thanks for all the replies!
I’ve posted this inquiry on numerous boards and as such, have received a variety of different responses. I’m going to respond to all of them in a single response, so some of what you may read might be a response to a thread on another board. But I thought that providing this additional information might help my own efforts, or help any others who might have this same problem who might read this thread.
The source files are located on the same external drive.
After I finish this project, I intend to follow the advice and use external hard drives primarily for archive purposes while leaving my C drive as empty as can be.
My C drive is approximately 90% full. My concern in clearing off my C drive and transferring this project to there now, sit hat I’d have to redirect all the files to those locations. I’m not opposed to the additional work, but I’d rather try to see if I can find out exactly what this problem is, since this is kind of my virgin project with Premiere, and I want to know exactly what I did that is causing this so I can avoid doing it again.
There is no particular reason I need the .mov as a container, other than I’m just familiar with working with quicktimes in After Effects and 3DS Max. Although, the other night I attempted to reminder as mpegs and .avi’s, and circumnavigating the Media Encoder by exporting it as a movie and had pretty much the same issues in all cases.
There is no File> Export> Media> Export function in CS3, that I can find, however there is a File>Export> Movie option which I tried with the same results.
How do I make certain that the Media Encoder is up to date?
I’m not sure if I have the latest version of quicktime. This is something I can check on though. However, if I do not, and I update, will that mean that all of the elements I’ve aready rendered out from After Effects as .mov’s will have been made with the old quicktime? Will updating quicktime also update these rendered .mov’s?
In regards to 64 bit vs. 32 bit, I may be wrong, but wasn’t CS3 designed to work on 32 bit computers before 64 bit computers became available?
What are AC3 sound files? I’m not sure if I’m working with them or not?
I would have to say that it has to be a bad asset rather than a gap in the video, of only because I laid down a 4th video track, a transparent video track, over the entirety of the 24 minute video, which should cover any gaps.
I’m sorry, I honestly don’t know where my Page File (Windows Virtual Memory) is located, how it is managed, or even what it is. Though I do oftentimes get messages telling me that Windows Virtual Memory is low, but not while I’m working in Premiere.
I’ve done some additional troubleshooting and here’s what I found.
I’ve been attempting renders by deleting video and audio clips from entire tracks.
When I have the video from track 3 deleted, it stops rendering on frame 9720. When I have Audio track 1 turned off, it stops rendering on frame 9720 also, so that could be something.
When the clips from Video 2 track is deleted, it stops on frame 20533.
As an aside, attempting to render as a Real Video gave me a crash error at frame 20314.
When the clips on audio track 2 are deleted, I get the “No Output Generated” error message. Same with audio track 3.
Previously attempts to render would stop on frames, 8984, 9428, and 9567, which seem in the same general area.
When I use a frame/time calculator, at http://www.zapstudio.net/framecalc/
I get the following:
Frame 8984 = 00;04;59;23
Frame 9428 = 00;05;14;17
Frame 9567 = 00;05;19;07
Frame 9720 = 00;05;24;10
Frame 20314 = 00;11;17;24
Frame 20533 = 00;11;25;04
When I look at these timeframes on the timeline, I see nothing remarkable, and it isn’t hitting the .mov’s that I thought it might have, after I began setting the Resolution dropbox in the Composition Settings of After Effects as I detailed I did above.
So I’m atarting to think that my best option at this point is to start from scratch, add one clip, render, add one clip, render, etc., until I see a problem.
Thanks again for all the replies, and thanks again in advance for any future reponses!
Any additional advice or help anyone can give would be much appreciated!

"Error Compiling movie: Unknown Error" message when rendering

I've read forums and tried several things but still getting this error message when I try to render footage on my timeline. I was copying footage from one sequence that had a "yellow" bar in the top part of the timeline window into another sequence and the bar turned "red". I've never got this message before. How do I fix so that I can render? Thank you.

Hello
I encounter the same problem and render crash.
The only way I discovered is :
- save the job,
- close PP CC (or CS 6 if you use pp CS 6),
- relaunch PP CC,
- resume the render,
generally the render goes to the end of the sequence, if not resume as above.
The Adobe support has no answer.

'General Error' message when rendering purchased footage

Hi folks,
I just received some royalty-free footage in the mail which I ordered awhile back.
I'm finding that some of the clips import and render fine, while others import fine but give a 'General Error' message when I try to render. In essence, I'm able to use only some of the clips.
I actually have footage from TWO DIFFERENT companies, so I'm thinking the problem is not with the footage but with Final Cut Express's ability to render the files. Has anybody else gotten this 'General Error' message when trying to render royalty-free, purchased footage?
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Thanks very much!
Vic

Hmm....if they're HD, try using MPEG Streamclip (free) and see if you can open them, and convert to Quicktime (command-E in Streamclip) using the Apple Intermediate Codec for your codec. What frame size are they? 1280x720? 1920x1080? Hopefully they are one of those standard sizes.
Once you have a converted file (which by the way will be much larger than your downloaded purchased files), then you can import them into FCE, but before doing so, make sure you go to Easy Setup and select the preset that matches the footage (for example, if it's 1920x1080 and 30fps, then in Easy Setup select the HD popup then under "Use" select the Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 preset.) Then create a new empty sequence, then import your files.

General Error message when rendering after opening FCP4 project in FCP5

Hi,
we're are having trouble with our FCP 4.5 project after opeining it in FCP5. When trying to render it comes up with "General Error" message and won't render the sequence. It also sometimes simply stops rendering without the message. Can anyone help? thanks

Update the version of FCP you're attempting to use as far as it will go for starters. There's no bug I know of that would cause this, so it's more likely an edgy media file getting in the way.
Try rendering just a section at a time and see if you can narrow down the files that may be causing your error.

Error message when rendering a DVD

When I'm burning a DVD (or img file), I get this error message: "Not Authorized. This application cannot be used to play this content. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes."
I'm assuming that there is something wrong with one of the audio files. How do I find out which one and how do I correct it?

This may be because you have added copy protected audio from iTunes to your iMovie project (or iDVD menu).
The solution is to either update your iTunes library to non-DRM status, or burn that audio track to a CD in AIFF format and re-import it into iTunes before using it in iMovie or iDVD.

Error Message When Rendering/Writing Video

Trying to render my timeline and I get
"File Error: The specified file is open and in use by this or another application."
I uninstalled and reinstalled all of FInal Cut Studio- no help.
I unplugged my external drive and used all internal drive settings- no help.
An hour with Apple tech support- no help.
Anyone? Bueller?
In order to render a timeline, I need to watch it and re-hit Option-R every 10-30 seconds or so...
It's frustrating... because the rest of the system is smokin'! I just want to render like a normal renderer!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) BRAND NEW COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE

I have seen this error many times. Restarting usually solves it for me. I suspect that the Preview Column in the Finder may be considered an application that is using a file since QT player might be running the movie. Do you perhaps have a Finder window open somewhere?
I have no other advice to offer, sorry.
Reinstalling FCP rarely solves anything. re-instaling your system again is equally silly on a Macintosh. These are last ditch practices and serve no realy purpose, in my experience with OS10.

Getting error message when starting Photoshop CS3

I am getting the following error message when starting CS3:
"This application has failed to start because CML4.dll was not found."
The window title is, "Photoshop.exe - Unable to Locate Component"
Of course, the only button to push is the "OK" button (which should probably read - Something's f-d up. Press here to continue.) After pressing the OK button, CS3 starts and works without issue - so far. I guess I haven't actually used the part of the program that uses CML4.dll or just don't see any difference with or without it.
How can I resolve this issue - without reinstalling PSCS3? and why does it happen in the first place?

Nikon Scanning Software has CML4.dll as part of its package. I assume that the Nikon software did not install/uninstall properly and is causing the error. I have not gone back to do Nikon scans within Photoshop so I do not know if it affects performance. McAfee does not flag it as a virus, and other websites I referred to indicated no viral activity associated with the file.

Q: Error message when printing Photoshop CS3 file

I get an error message when I try printing a CS3 photo on my Epson C86 printer, and the resulting print has the wrong colors and luminance levels.
Error Message = "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer."
Any ideas for how to work through this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Chris -
Thanks for your quick response.
Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

Premiere Pro stops rendering and gives error message when encounters "RGB Color Corrector"

Premiere Pro (and also Encore) stops rendering and gives error message when it encounters a clip containing the "RGB Color Corrector" in any clip. It will process clips without RGBCC, but will stop when it gets to one with RGBCC activavted. PP will render clips if other effects, such as "Fast Color Corrector", "Color Balance (HLS)", and "Three-Way Color Corrector" are selected. However, these do not have the capabilities that The other color correctors will not do what RGB color corrector does, so I need to have this working to finish a large product that is due to the client. Please help me..... I am not using the Creative Cloud version, and can't find either a download for the new update from 2013, or a phone number to talk to anyone.

Using a Win7 computer with 2.8 quad core processor, 24 gig of ram, Nvidia Quadro 5000 video card. Don't think I have any plugins. I looked at one a while back for cleaning up grainy video, but I am not sure I paid for that. Think I deleted it.
Incidentally, someone named Jim on another part of the forum mentioned that this problem has been fixed in the CC version of the program. I am using the non-CC version because I am 68 years old and only do seminars and documentation video. Don't need so many bells and whistles, and definitely don't need learning curves every few weeks. CS6.0.3 works fine for me. By the way, someone else said that maybe version 6.0.1 might work better and I should revert to that. Not sure if it is the version i have on the disk upgrade to 5.5 that I purchased in December.
As it stands now, I have 7.5 hours of a seminar that is ready to go out the door. If there is an upgrade I can get from Adobe, maybe you can tell me about it. If I have a setting incorrect in the video output format, maybe I can change that. So far it just happens with clips in my video that have RGB color correction.

Looking for some help with an error message when exporting master file. I'm stuck and would even pay to get this sorted out!

Hey guys, I'm really in a bind here and need some urgent help tonite. I would even be willing to pay for some actual help and not some vague information that i may not be able to understand if we could do something via skype or some other way that would be much quicker than a message board. Of course I have to have the project done by tomorow . so I'm new to fcpx, but have succesfully exported 2 other projects. I've also ran into this predicament before (error message not allowing me complete export) and have been able to solve that by converting the files i imported off my camera (canon g20) to a different file type (prores).
so where I'm at now: i have a 13 min short, all shot on my canon g20, imported and converted to prores422 with the brorsoft video converter with all the shots in a single event in fcpx. i'm using fcpx version 10.0.08. I have one main video track in my timeline that is completely full of very fast edits. (all quick 2-5 second clips, sped up shots in 2x, 4x, or 8x, tons of transitions, titles, and a little fx. theres 2 audio tracks, one is narration/speech and the other is an ongoing music track that constantly ducks everytime the subject speaks (tons of ducks/edits). Have you seen mtv cribs? Well i filmed an EXACT replica. So If you've seen one of those episodes, its literally the same exact same thing. I have all of my work completed, everything has been fully rendered, and i have it exactly as I want it.
I'm including all this information in case it may help. my successful projects ive exported in the past were rather simple, and this one is very complex and full of edits. here is what it looks like in the timeline:
Ive tried exporting the master file using almost all the different ways with no luck. My primary objective is to get it on youtube by any means by tommorow for a showing to a potential buyer (long story) and so I've been told using the h.264 is the best format for that. This, along with the other methods give me the same error message:
It think it gives this error message when i reach 24% everytime during export.
So first of all, what is that error message? Do i need to be concerned about the specifics of it, or is there something major that I'm missing? Like i said, i dont care how, but I need to get this video up on youtube tonite for an important viewing tomorrow. Conceptually, I think if i can figure this one out I shouldnt have any more trouble in the future doing something so basic, yet critical, such as exporting my 40+ hours of work for someone to see.
anyway, I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge with this software, and for my extremely long winded question which will probably have the opposite effect for me as most wont want to take the time to read all this, BUT i figured if i was as thorough as possible it might help actually getting a concrete answer, instead of a "read the manual, exporting is on page 37." or "use the share button on the right of the timeline then just click export master file and it will work everytime."
Cheers everybody, and thank you. Like i said if someone is up, and willing to talk via skype, phone, messanger or any other method that works for you I would be totally down and will compensate you generously for your time. thanks again.
Taphabit

boom! that advice was correct and worked. i was able to export the full project as a quicktime movie and it can be uploaded to youtube.
NOTE, theres is definately quite a few noticeable audio glitches/lags/pops that werent there before doing this. I believe, and will test to make sure, that having a project such as this one needs to render before exporting. I'm not sure if the advice requires the project to be unrendered before exporting for a specific reason, because if it will export fine after rendering the project that's the way to go. like i said the edited version i have in my timeline plays back perfectly but this exported version has quite a few noticeable audio glitches (a few video glitches too). I'm going to retry doing the first few steps of your advice, but then at the end render, then export and compare the results...
OK, so this leads to a big question, Is this something that is standard for everyone when trying to export? If its not, what causes this error?
is there any way of preemptively avoiding it in future projects?
thanks again, and hopefully this information will help others as exporting seem to be one of the biggest problems in fcpx. any word on a new patch or firmware update?

Getting error message when burning DVD

I keep getting an error message when I try to burn my DVD in iDVD 08. I have imported the movie in quicktime format from iMovie HD and everything works fine until I go to burn the project. I renders everything else but when it get to the movie it has an error and cancels the burn.

Suggestion: Not a bad idea to test the disc image with apple's dvd player app prior to burning.
Click Here
I prefer to use Toast for burning an image to Dvd-R (verbatim at 4x or slower for best results).
Click Here
Not my personal favorite choice ... however it is possible to burn thru apple's disc utility like this:
