PPro CS2 "Failed to Render Frame" When exporting to WMV

I seem to keep having this problem, where as upon the end of an WMV export via adobe media encoder I am getting an export error, "failed to return a frame."
I found a solution from Adobe Knowledge Base, but the update is no longer aviable, gee thanks adobe!
I've read that a lot of people were having this problem with CS3 and CS2, but nobody really found a solution. After much reading the problem may be caused by, Multi-Thread support in CS2 or leaving blank "spaces" between clips. It's rather strange, because I never had this problem before I had to reinstall windows, and Premiere CS2 after an raid array crash.
System specs
Quad Core 2.66
4 gigs memory (3 in windows)
WinXP Pro

If you can successfully export to Microsoft AVI then you can use the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft to make better WMV files.
Cheers

Getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

i solve my red frame problem. originally my project was done in premiere pro cc 2014.2 & i render in Encoder cc 2014. in newer version i get lots of red frames. i complain a lot to adobe customer support . they said they know the issues but they couldn't solve. I was so tired from adobe customer support. one of the worse customer services i had. My friend got the mac pro & e got premiere pro cc 7.2 version. i convert all my footage mxf to mp4 in encoder cc 7.2 version and i succeed. i don't get any red frames.
So i think the problem is in adobe encoder cc 2014.2 version. newer version.

Avoid interlace combing when exporting to wmv

Hi All,
I am running on an updated MBP with FCE 4 and flip4mac pro studio.
I can not seem to find an ideal setting when exporting to *.wmv to avoid interlace combing and poor quality (pixalated look).
Your guidance woudl be great ly appreciated.
Thank you,
Erik

Ronald,
In addition to Steve's very important questions, I have another:
What else is running on your computer (often launched "behind the scenes," at bootup), while you are editing? Most computers have a lot of unnecessary programs, and processes, that launch at start, and can really eat up computer resources. You can check to see what gets loaded with MSCONFIG, and then looking at the Startup and Services Tabs.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.

Iphoto fails to render files for export to certain folders after upgrade

I just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest version of iPhoto but I now unfortunately get an error message when I try to export photos. It seems to work if I export to the main Documents folder but fails if I try to export to a sub folder of the main Documents folder (very odd) which is where I want the exports to be saved. The error message says "Unable to render file for export:/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/IMG-1058.jpg". I don't know why the path name shown here is a SD Card path which is not connected. Hope someone can help? It worked fine before the upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1
Thanks
Craig

The iPhoto preference file might be wonky. Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Green frames when exporting from CC 2014

Hello. I just updateted to the newest edition of premiere pro(aswell as all the other CC software i have installed which includes phoshop,speedgrade,audition,ame, and after effects). So the versions of the software are the very latest.
My computer is late2013 macbook pro with nvidia graphics card, and i have all the system updates installed, nothing special going on.
Heres the issue:
When exporting the project, i get random green frames, full green frames. Complitely randomly, no pattern whatsoever.
My workflow have been this: Footage shot with two Sony cameras and i have encoded all the materials to mxf format with one step earlier AME version. I started the project with one step earlier premiere, and i have already done 19 out of 23 sequences that project contains, no problem at all with earlier version of ame&premiere. Now i updated to the latest 2014 cc and these green frames started to pop out randomly. I have not used any plugins or effects, only premieres own threeway colorcorrector and bightness&contrast. Parts of the clip have transparent black video as textbackground with crop effect applied and basic textlayer from premieres own text editor. I have exported few grpahics from aftereffects (both the lates and the one step earlier version) to proress 4444 format as RGP+alpha. And im exporting with using youtube SD widescreen 360p settings, nothing changed. Again, everything worked perfectly before update.
things i have tried sofar:
delete caches both manually and from each software
normal boot
pram reset
safeboot
update check
export XML from 2014 cc and import to earlier premiere -> no luck, things got messed up somehow
made a copy of both project files, i compared and changed some version number from 27 -> 26 so i could open the project in earlier premiere -> no luck (this worked back in cs6 time when i had to import cs6 project to cs5.5)
Kinda running out of time, so rest of the night im going to spend re-editing those sequences i have done today with newer version of premiere. Will adobe pay for me for these extra hours, i think my client wont approve one extraediting day(night becaus of the schedule, these must be ready tomorrow with no green frames) because of software problem?
Ask anything you want, i'm 100% sure this is not user error since everything was fine with one step earlier premiere version. I will copy&paste this to the bugreport too.
Thanks

Temporary solution for this was "export xml" after all. I had to disable all graphics and textlayers and delete colorcorrections, and flatten multicam, so i had to redo all grading ja graphics stuff in older premiere after importin FCP xml. But got the work done in time. Won't use cc 2014 in near future unless someone figures out what is wrong with green frames. (well actually now im exporting from older AME, will she if the green frames pops out there too, wouldn't be too much surprised....)

Extra Audio Frames When Exporting Video

Does anybody have the issue of extra audio frames being added when exporting a video. Every time I export, the audio adds like a 2 second handle. Very strange.

The best advice is to tell them their work is coming back non-compliant and you can't have that. Let them figure out why and solve it. (That's is part of their job, after all.)

Not rendering - Getting dropped frames when exporting to tape

I am trying to export my project to Mini DV tape. I have been successful before, but am continually getting dropped frames. I noticed that the sections that are getting dropped frames are showing that it is not rendered (red bar). I have tried rendering them several times, but still show the red bar. I am using a PowerMac G5, Dual 2 GHZ processor with 3GB RAM. The footage is on a Lacie Firewire 800 external hardrive and there is almost 200 GB of free space. I do get occasional dropped frames, but not as often as I am now.

Is there anything else I can do? When I get the Warning - Dropped frames, it suggests turning off "Unlimited RT", which I have and set to "Safe" because I was getting dropped frames. Will this affect the quality when exporting? I have set the Video Quality to "Dynamic" and Frame Rate "Full" and Record "Full Quality". Do any of these settings need to be changed? Lowering your compression data rate (I'm not sure what that is), Closing open sequences (which I've done), Lowering the preference for real-time audio tracks (how do I do that and again will it affect the quality?), Increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection (Is there a way for me to do that?)

How do I select the Poster Frame when exporting to video?

PP CS6
I cannot find how to select the frame that I want to appear as the Poster Frame in the exported video.
I can select it I can change one by right clicking an imported video OK but not the sequence!
I've been through every menu I can find & even Lynda.com training!
I'm sure that there must be a way but I'm blowed if I can find it!!

There are two common meanings for the phrase "poster frame":
A standalone image on disk (JPG etc) which is displayed by a player before the video is loaded - commonly used by video player apps on websites (YouTube etc), InDesign and PDF files, etc. so the video asset doesn't have to be opened in order for the viewer to see what they're about to watch - although the image is normally captured from the video it doesn't have to be.
An image resource embedded into the XMP/ID3 data of a video or audio file which can sometimes be shown in the player, but is normally set because it appears as the thumbnail image when viewing the files in Finder or Windows Explorer. It's not part of the content stream, it's in the file header. In MP3 files it's used to store album artwork.
You can create standalone JPEG images from PP using the camera icon below the monitor and can semi-automate the export of a still image alongside your video using presets in Adobe Media Encoder, but there's no option in PP (or via Adobe Media Encoder) to specify the embedded poster image in a rendered media file. Several third-party apps can do it, either during render (Compressor / Squeeze) or after the fact (Quicktime Pro), but support for these embedded resources depends on the wrapper for the video file.
The ability to set a 'poster frame' in the clip bins in PP is solely there to help you organize your project assets visually - for example if the imported footage starts from black, or if you want to choose a frame where the slate is visible - but your choice has no effect on the sequences at export and isn't written back into the original footage.

When exporting a .wmv in After Effects 5 the export adds additional black/Blank frames at the end

We are experiencing an issue where we or a client provides us with a video that is a .wmv video, exported from After Effects 5 and it adds almost a second of data less video.
What I mean by data less is the video renders out as WMV, 30FPS, 24 Bitrates (No audio) that is say 7 seconds long within After Effects. The moment it is rendered/exported, it is 8 seconds and shows 8 seconds in any program we import it to. That last second is empty, there is no frames, not even black frames, and when you preview the video in any program, you see the scrub bar, drop about 1 second before the actual end of the timeline.
I opened the video in Camtasia, and you can clearly see that at the end, it shows in the timeline (Video Editor), however there is no actual video.
I import the video in my company’s software, and I move the frame scrubber at the end, it says 'Unable to retrieve the requested video frame.'. If we import it to our software, it sees no frames for that second, and automatically loops and adds the first second of the video to the end.
Typically we only import uncompressed AVIs, but would like to know what this issue is.
Windows 7 Enterprise
64bit OS
After Effects 5

I 100% agree about not being a fan of .WMV. We only recently added .wmv video support to our own program our clients use for importing videos and graphics. Our customer only used .wmv because it was on our list, and we are running into this issue.
Two different users (our own Graphic Artist, and our clients Graphic Artist) and we get the same result. We are 100% certain there is no video framerate mismatch in either of the AE files.
It would be interesting to see if anyone else using AE, if they could make a video few seconds long, export as a WMV and see if another program shows a whole extra second at the end, that has no data.
Thanks for your responses thus far.

Why do I get repeating frames when exporting to QT MOV?

I have a Canon 7D and I'm shooting HD video files in 24p. I can import directly to the time
line in PE 7, but sometimes, when I export to a QT MOV file, the 3rd and 4th frame are exactly the same.
Original clips are fine, so it's something in the way PE 7 exports.
Strangely, I can have three clips on the time line, and two of the three will export fine, but one will show the duplicate frames!
I'm using the project setting of 1080i and timebase is 29.97 even though the camera is shooting at 23.97. Has anyone heard of this problem, and more importantly how to fix?
Thank you
Steve

I'm using the project setting of 1080i and timebase is 29.97 even though the camera is shooting at 23.97. Has anyone heard of this problem, and more importantly how to fix?
The Project Preset should match all aspects of your source footage. Having a disparity of 29.97 vs 23.97 will be problematic. Now, I am not sure what the options are for 24p footage in PrE 8.
Also, this ARTICLE links to many resources for DSLR footage and video editing.
Good luck,

Videos become single frame when exporting iPhoto album

I've gotten the hang of how to organize pix and vids in an "album" and get them renamed. Now I just want to give those renamed reordered photos on discs to other people that will be on Mac and PCs. This apparently means using the "export" feature, as burning an album directly from iPhoto won't produce a disc usable by a PC.
"Exporting" the album succeeded in making a new folder elsewhere on my computer containing all of the images and it preserved their names. However, I noticed all of the Quicktime and AVI files had very small file sizes. When I double click on a .mov file, for example, it opens in Quicktime but it is now only a single frame. Same is true for the avi files.
Any suggestions on another export setting tweak I need to do to get this right?

You shouldn't have to change it to original though. And if it isn't exporting the actual movie, it should show up as a pic, not have the video icon. I lost important footage from hurricane Ike because I was in a hurry, and trusted the app. Then I go to look at the videos in iMovie, and they aren't even recognized. Current should be whatever it is. Currently that was a video, not an image. Sad.

Red frames when exporting mfx from new media encoder

I edit TV programs each week that are mastered as MXF comps. Updated to premiere pro 8.2 (MacPro Late 2013) yesterday. Now when I export a program using the updated Media Encoder que, I'm getting full page red frames intermittently. How can I go back to the previous release? I can't wait for the bugs to be worked out.

This should guide you through rolling back: Install a previous version of any Creative Cloud application

Compressor3.53 genrating dulipcate frames when exporting from H264 to Apple Prores

whn i was trying convert Animation playblast(H264 Codec) in compressor to appleprores422...genrating dulipcate frames..at 13th frame ....Orginally the animator will take playblast in NON-codec .OR Wraw codec formate ....later it will converts into H264 using Quicktime ..while the playblast playing like vedioShutters..wat i converted in Compressor
i was using same preset from long bak...........this promble occuring for few days
iam using compressor 3.5.3......QT.time 7.0 .. mac

Not surprised the 10bit uncompressed won't play back on an iMac. Is 10-bit HD....? Yes, in fact in some opinions, 10 bit IS (the appropriate bit-depth for) HD.
The other thing is that you must select your render codec and directory BEFORE you load the Render Queue. Otherwise everything goes out 'default',and to top it off, the XML export will reflect the changes you made AFTER -- which will then be, as they say, "wrong".... so yes, it matters.
Internal Hard Drive is nowhere near what you'll need. Doing a compression from it shouldn't be a problem, though. Anything that doesn't need to run in real time should be okay. Heck, you could probably do 4K -- but not much of it, or very quickly.
Seems like FCP really wants to work in bit depths in multiples of 8. Funny thing, that.
I'm also mystified about the 'render in original codec' wrinkle in your fabric... I've never had an issue with DVCProHD like that. And the ProRes422HQ thing... I'm looking at a 5 minute project right now (just Media Managing the corrected version back to hard drive as I write this) that would duplicate your initial workflow and it looks, well, lovely. You may be simply overwhelming your hardware.

Red frames when exported to encore

Not sure if this is an encore or a premiere pro problem
I am trying to create a blu ray disc from a video shot in HDV.
I have captured and edited my video in premiere pro and it looks great but I am having problems getting it on to a blu ray disc. I am using premiere pro CS3.
If I export to encore or use the adobe media encoder I end up with a few clips being affected by being replaced with bright red frames.
Now I have tried this on two projects and its always the same clips which are affected
so I have started a new project gone back to the source footage and captured just a clip which was affected and tried to encode that single clip with the same results it gets corrupted into red frames.
The clip plays perfectly well in premiere pro and can be exported back to tape without any problems ...so what is going on

Thanks for responding Jeff.
Its hard to know what has corrupted the frames as sometimes after encoding i get some completely red frames and some whith a little of what should be there showing through.
It happens consistantly on two clips that I have been using in different projects.
so as I said before I have created a new project gone back to the original and recaptured those two clips into my new project and tried to encode them in several different ways but all fail to encode properly.
This is a Pal Project recorded captured and edited in HDV
I used the MPEG2 settings and frame size of 1440X1080.
I first used the default setting for 1440x1080 quality high, with a default qualty of 4 and then increased the quality to 5 without improving things.
Ive tried reducing the target bit rate from the default to 20, still the same.
Ive tried using CBR instead of VBR 2 pass. still no difference.
My machine is a Dual Quadcore Xeon processors. with 4 GB of ram and a Matrox RTX2 card. both my video hard discs have around 50% free.
I really am struggling to know what is wrong.

FCP 7 crashing on render and when exporting quicktime movie & rendering

Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded to Lion and am still using Final Cut Studio 3.
I have a 1.37min sequence which i wanted to export and burn the DVD. My normal workflow for this is:
- Export/quicktime movie/make self contained
- Open compressor and convert
But FCP 7 keeps on crashing on export, in fact is very unstable recently. It also crashes on rendering, and quite often when im editing.
- Final Cut Studio 7.03
- Footage is HDV 1080 50i
Any ideas on a solution??

Are you converting those clips to ProRes in ClipWrap? Or keeping them native? You MUST convert them to ProRes.
The NXCam came out just before 7.0.3. FCP did update to mesh with that camera, but it's still rocky. And now that FCP 7...legacy...has been discontinued, there will be no more updates. But you have ClipWrap so that should be fine. As long as you convert to ProRes.
