Premiere, AE, Media Encoder and title bug?

I think I've run into a possible bug.
I'm editing Canon 7D material with my first clip in the timeline being dynamic linked to AE. On the videotrack above I got a title. Everythings is prerendered ( greenbar above timeline).
Exporting directly in Premiere ( with matched sequence setting ) works like a charm. Fast.
Exporting to Media Encoder works great until it reaches the title above my dynamic linked clip. The render speed drops incredibly.
When I redo this without the title it works in ME. So there seems to be something going on with titles above dynamic linked clips and ME.
Can anyone confirm this?

So, just to be clear, you're having a problem playing the sequence within Premiere when it reaches the embbeded After Effects file, or encoding the file through Media Encoder simply slows down when it reaches the portion of the timeline where the AE file is embedded? If it's the latter, then it's just a matter of the encoder having to process a more robust file. It's common when there's an embedded AE sequence, and/or when there are a lot of effects applied.

Premiere CC 7.2.2 crashes when trying to export via Media Encoder and Encore crashes while DVD build

Hello,
My computer is a:
2x Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 (2000 MHz, 20MB);
16x Kingston DIMM 8 GB PC3-8500 ECC Reg.;
PNY Quadro 4000 with 2048 MB GDDR5-RAM;
PNY Tesla C 2075
2x 2000 GB Western Digital RE4 (7200 UPM/S-ATA II) as a RAID I
1x 120 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
1x 240 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD (system disk)
Tyan S7050GM4NR motherboard
Windows 7
I freshly installed Windows 7 and the CC-Apps PremierePro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop and Speedgrade.
When I try to export any video from premiere to the media encoder premiere crashes without any error message. The problem is not the project: I created several new projects and even if I only have one Graphic-File/Bars/h264-video in the timeline that I try to export: premiere crashes. When I export directly from premiere it works, but there is no chance to go via media encoder. The strange thing is that I can export from after effects to the media encoder without any problem...
Second Problem: Encore crashes also. Everytime I try to build a DVD => Encore crashes
Does anybody have an idea?
Here is what I already tried:
Yesterday it worked fine today it crashes when I export from premiere via media encoder.
1. Bars+Tone => export => crash
2. Video Project with 2 short h264-files => export => crash
3. I used Software only renderer => crash
This is the Windows log that I found:

Premiere cc & media encoder update and it doesn't use anymore 100% of cpu,why?

hi
i don't like always to update programs
but yesterday i update premiere to version 7.2.2 and adobe media encoder and others , in short i updated everything
well i started to render a video and i noticed that adobe media encoder (during the rendering) did not use all my cpu
in the prev , i used the 90% of my cpu
my cpu it's the last intel 4 core (8 vitual) 4Ghz
but the new verstion uses not more then 50% , don't know how much gpu does it use , can't find a program to monitor under w8.1 pro 64bit
what's wrong?
is there a way (option) to let media encoder to use all my 100% cpu?
is there a way to check how much gpu does it use?
thanks

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply.
It doesn't appear to be the problem though. The encode I have running at the moment has been going for the last 13 hours and in the last two hasn't once got any further along!
Current elapsed time for a 30 minute film going to MPG2 is 13 hours and 18 minutes! Seems a touch excessive for just muxing!
Any other ideas? Would be really grateful for any advice as Adobe Media Encoder is becoming very unreliable and I have tonnes of encoding to do!
Many thanks

Encore won't import markers with bluray vid output from Premiere through Media Encoder

I have a sizeable video project, just completed, that needs to be output to DVD and BluRay. DVDs are done, no problem - the three timelines are each exported from Premiere by queueing them in Media Encoder. Side-car .xmp files are produced containing the chapter markers, and it all imports into Encore without issue, chapter markers are there, DVD burns successfully, works on DVD players, all good.
Now for the Blurays.... Same process as before, queueing the same timelines in Media Encoder, this time exporting using the H264 BluRay HD1080i 25 preset, the export works fine, no issues or error messages, but mporting into into Encore (using Import as Asset, Import as Timeline, etc), I get the error:
"Error parsing MPEG metadata file. Deleting or renaming "E:\YourVid\test.m4v.xmpses" will allow you to import, but any markers will be lost."
In other words, the markers file is either failing to export crrectly from Media Encoder, or failing to import correctly into Encore, or both.
I have never had this problem before, but this is the first exporting I have done with the latest versions of Premiere and Media Encoder, ie versions:
Premiere CC: 2014.1 8.1.0 (81) Build
Media Encoder CC: 2014.1 Build 8.1.0.122
Encore CS6: Version 6.0.2.004
... on Win 7 Pro 64bit
Can anyone help? Are other people having this problem? Is this a bug with the latest version of Media Encoder and/or Premiere, or is it just co-incidence and something else is the problem? And most importantly, is there a sensible workaround (ie other than just re-making all the chapter markers in Encore?) Can I export the chapter markers from Premiere into Encore some other way?
Please help!!!

Well, I wanted to play with versions and reverting...
AME version is columns; PR version is rows. The 8.1.0 x 8.1.0 was on my laptop. The rest are desktop, but both are win7. I'm guessing the fault is AME, so I will update AME to 8.1.0 as next step. But no new test till "tomorrow" (even though tomorrow is today!).
PR CC/AME
8.0.0
8.0.1
8.1.0
8.0.0
ok
fail
8.0.1

Exporting to Media Encoder and file locating issue

Ok, Now I've read a LOT of threads trying to find a solution to this but none of them have answered my problem exactly, so here's what I have:
Running a New computer with a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and Adobe CS4 Master Suite
Hardware:
Dell Precision M6400
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9900 @ 3.06 Ghz, 3.07 Ghz
12.0 GB Ram
Premiere ran fine for a while, but soon I've run into a problem where I try to export to the Media Encoder and I keep getting the error:
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted" over and over
I have deleted recently imported media one at a time to try and locate what's causing it since it wasn't doing this before, but no luck. So I restarted the program but now the Premiere project won't open. The task bar loads until about 2/3 in and stops there indefinitely, I've left and came back to it 2 hours later and it hadn't moved. I back tracked and found a previous save that will open, but it still will not export, it still says "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted". And as soon as I update anything and save a new file that one will not open either.
I've tried recompressing each video file into a format I know works well with Premiere but still no difference.
This problem has plagued my workflow for a while now and I can't take it anymore. I've had to restart clean project files to try to work around it but I lose so much progress, and the work around by rendering the premiere file through After effects hasn't worked either. The error I get there says "Dynamic link server is busy".
Here's what the problem is not: It is not because I uninstalled CS3 or any other previous version, I've never had it on this computer. It's not a plugin problem, I don't have any plugins on this install except for the default ones that Came with Adobe Master Suite for Premiere Pro.
Someone please help me, this is ridiculous that I have had to trouble shoot the program this much. Both CS4 and Windows 7 have been around for over a year now and neither are in Beta Editions

Wow, sorry, forgive me if I've seen most forums work with a lot less, and your dismissiveness led me to assume you hadn't read my post.
All of this is new and up do date as far as Adobe and Windows updates go, that's Version 4.2.1.
My projects for this are all in NTSC Widescreen DV 24P, the particular sequence that I render from is in that format as well, although regardless of which one I use the problem keeps occurring.
My renders for my recent purposes have been compressed in .h264, IPOD video Large. The codec I'm rendering in also doesn't seem to matter, because I've tried this in .avi., .mov, .h264, .wav, etc. and all with various settings that I thought might help, but the encoder quits encoding 4 seconds in and gives me the error that it can't find the media.
And I didn't mention the media type and what not because it seems irrelevent of what I use this problem keeps happening. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the project file or perhaps the media encoder or both.
And I don't know what you mean by "disks"
Do I have a Raid set up on my hard disk? No, I have two 0.5 TB hard drives, Programs on one (C:\) Projects on the other (D:\).
What address am I saving the scratch disks to? I use the default of "same as Project". Have I tried Clearing it? Yes.
I don't think I'm getting at what you're asking.
And I don't think I've ever used an .xlsm (which is excel?) file and I've definitely never used a Power point project (PPS?) file in my projects. And they open in their respective programs, although I'm not sure why you asked about that. Again I'm not sure I know what you mean.
The Premiere Project (.prproj) file is what I'm trying to open when the progress bar stops at 2/3 the way through and forces me to terminate the process with the task manager to close it.
It would help to mention that all my projects are animated and I use premiere to cobble them together, so no problems that relate to transferring media from a camera to the computer would apply here. Most of the files I get out of Maya are in Default .avi or .mov files, and I also use a handful of .wav files for the dialogue and .jpgs for cards and placeholders.
I believe that this problem began when I updated a few of the files in my project, but I've been doing that for weeks without incident. I've been updating them by saving over the old media file with the updated one of the same name, length, and type.
I don't work exclusively with Premiere, in fact it's not what I usually use, that would be Final Cut Pro.

Premiere Pro & Media Encoder CS6 exports 0 or 1 kB file

Hello
I'm start using Premiere Pro CS6 on the Company where I work.
When I export the movie to Media encoder, I get 0 or 1kB file.
Original File: MUX: MP4
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 2,8 MB
Image Size: 640 x 360
Frame Rate: 25,00 fps Progressive
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:01:07:01
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
Tried to export (by CTRL+M) in:
MUX: MP4
Protocol: H264
Image Size: 640 x 360
Frame Rate: 25,00 fps Progressive
TV Standard: PAL
Profile: High
Level: 3
Then: Queue
Once Media Encoder is opened:
I tried already these settings:
"Custom" (accepting the settings passed from Premiere to Media Encoder)
"PAL DV Widescreen" that respects what I need
It renders the video (so it looks like)
Then it gives "Done" with a fully green tick.
But when I click on the file name/path to open it, I find it at 0kB ... any suggestion please?

It's a different driver than C it's H and I have about 500 GB free. Consider that the video is really short and the source file is very small and not inHDTV at all as you can see from the data I reported in my entry post.

I takes 70 hours to export a sequence in Premiere Pro/ Media Encoder

Hi,
I am having a lot of trouble with Media Encoder and Premiere Pro CS4. I'm trying to export a sequence that is only 3 minutes long and it's taking 70 hours to export- it usually taked 6 hours or just overnight to export. Below is the screen shots of the settings. Help.Thank you

Thank you for your response and help. I don't think I'm scalling up the frame rate. Attached is some screen shots of the info. Honestly codecs are a bit confusing for me but I think the codec is H.264
What should my bitrate be? It said for maximum quality increase bitrate and honestly I'm really dissatisfied with the quality, it's a HD camera - Canon XA10 and I feel the picture quality isn't up to par with other HD footage I've seen. I'm thinking it's something I'm doing wrong in the post settings somewhere.

Hilights Clipping Problem with Premiere CS3 Media Encoder

I've just discovered a pretty serious problem with the way Premiere CS3 processes video to the Media Encoder.
Many of you are familiar with the term "super whites", the ability of modern cameras to capture and record levels above 100 IRE. With HDV and newer technology, recording to 109 IRE is quite common.
I was aware for some time that importing this footage into Premiere results in a hard truncation of whites above 100 IRE. However, I discovered last month that the Fast Color Corrector has a Output Levels adjustment that can rescale all the levels to fit down in the 0-100 IRE range. I verified this using the scopes in Premiere and by observing recovered details in my footage. I was even able to export frames to TIFF files and show the recovered highlights in the exported TIFFs. The difference is substantial and not subtle--it's the difference between a sky completely blown to white and one where you can see the sky is blue with clouds in it.
Last night, I discovered that the Unsharp Mask filter doesn't handle footage above 100 IRE, either. Even if I use Levels to set 0-235 RGB range, somehow, Unsharp Mask is processing the un-level-adjusted signal, regardless of stacking order of the filters.
I rendered two Blu-ray discs, one with Unsharp and the other without. To my astonishment, BOTH discs lacked any detail in the highlights--the whites were clipped at 100 IRE!
Now I turned attention to the Media Encoder. Pausing on a frame where I can see the difference between 100 IRE and 109 IRE and shades in between, I fire up the Media Encoder and note that even in ME's previews screens, the whites are already clipped. There is more highlight detail in the program monitor, whereas it's all gone in the Media Encoder's display.
It is obvious that highlight information, even scaled back to 0-235, is being treated as if it were 0-255 and clipped at 235 before passing to the encoder. This is a real disappointment, because there is another half f-stop of detail up there that I was trying to pull into the useable range of 100 IRE for the Blu-ray disc. Since it is very difficult to shoot footage and limit the peak whites in-camera to no more than 100 IRE, nearly all of us are losing valuable picture information.
Even if you can recover the highlights on the timeline through a Levels filter, it gets thrown away again on the way to the Media Encoder. Short of exporting a few hundred thousand frames as .TGA files and then loading those back in and rendering out to whatever motion CODEC, I am at a loss as to how to get Premiere to leave the whites intact.
I haven't seen this issue discussed in any detail here. Has anyone found a way around it, besides reshooting all your footage of one-time events to sub 100 IRE levels?

I'd rather the camera added that extra lattitide within the appropriate 0 to 100 IRE range.
That's a lot like saying you want 10 gallons of water in an 9-gallon jug.
As it is, it looks like such adjustments will need to be done on a clip by clip basis.
Or, you can do it the "Dan" way in AviSynth. I wrote a script function called SoftLimiter: It applies photoshop-style curves on the Y + U + V channels to bring the maximums within legal range… using a sort-of "soft-knee" approach to reducing extreme highlights and/or oversaturated areas.
It causes a tiny bit of posterization in the highlights, just like all 8-bit per channel color adjustments do… but it is hardly noticeable on a computer screen and even less on TVs.
SoftLimiter for AviSynth 2.5
Create a folder C:\SoftLimiterCurves\ and place the .amp curves files in that folder.
Place the other files in your AviSynth 2.5 / plugins folder.
The example below assumes DV avi files and requires a DV codec (such as Cecocida DV, MainConcept, Canopus) that can read / write in YUV formats.
Create a script like this:
AviSource("dv.avi", pixel_type="YUY2")
SoftLimiter()
Open the script in VirtualDub, use Video / Fast Recompress, Select Cedocida DV codec. File / Save as .avi
Before:
After:
And, Jim… you can place your dv2film() command at the end of this script if that's what you're trying to accomplish.

Premiere, Media Encoder and Flash Cue Points - bug?

I've been encoding a number of FLV On2 VP6 videos recently and using the new Media Encoder. For this project we need flash cue points (nav and event). I've discovered some weird things in Media Encoder - it's been duplicating cue points (or maybe the export from Premiere is buggy with cue points?).
I've seen the first couple of cue points getting duplicated with the first letter of the name capitalised and moved a frame on in time - very weird.
Anyone else seen this behaviour?
Paul.

OK, I think I've found out why - not a bug - user misunderstanding!!! (although tricky to find!)
Some of my source footage was created in After Effects. It turns out that there were a couple of cue points in the AE comp that had similar names to the cue points in Premiere - the AE comp was saved out to an AVI (with metadata enabled I think).
Premiere wasn't seeing this metadata and the cue points, but Media Encoder was (and it couldn't be deleted in ME - just kept coming back).
So - moral of the story - be careful with metadata!!!
I guess that Premiere should really show this embedded data though?
Paul.

Premiere, After Effects, Speedgrade, Media Encoder and... the dynamic link

My feeback after working with the dynamic link these days. Basic project. Editing, color correction, animated titles.
I'm using a 3.5Ghz iMac 24GB Ram and a GTX 780 4GB. (2014 versions & last updates).
Rendering the timeline in Premiere is sometimes extremly slow (with AE comps). Need to quit and reload the project to get a good speed.
Too long delay of refresh for the AE compositions inside Premiere (with the dynamic link). Need to go in AE then back to Premiere to get the refresh.
When i export to media encoder i need sometimes to save then send it 2 or 3 times to get the last edits in the export.
Even worse with the AE compositions. If i change something in AE then export from Premiere i need to quit and reload Media Encoder to get the last changes.
Really fast export from Premiere to Speedgrade and from Speedgrade to Premiere.
But !!! Lumetri fx is not compatible with AE. And Speedgrade doesn't support BlackMagic but only this nVidia Sdi thing.
And why we could not export h264 from AE anymore ???
Quiet disappointing :-(

Using Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 (build 21) and Media Encoder 2014.0.1 (build 8.0.1.48) on OS X 10.8.5
If I Export a video from Premiere, I can continue using Premiere, but if I Queue an export, returning to Premiere produces the beach ball of death. If I give it time, the beach ball goes away and the arrow returns, but trying to click anywhere in Premiere simply returns the beach ball. There is nothing to be done but Force Quit Premiere. I can leave Premiere and run any other application, but if I leave to execute the Media Encoder queue, I cannot return to Premiere and use Premiere. I can visit Media Encoder (call it to the foreground) and return to Premiere after the queue is done.
My current workaround is to use Export from Premiere and not use Queue from Premiere.

Premiere CS4 Media Encoder AVIs and Encore Encoding Errors

For some reason, I'm having trouble creating DVD's in Encore from AVI's exported from Premiere CS4. When encoding starts, Encore immediately pops up with an "encoding error". I now, all of a sudden get this identical error on two of our systems.
Most of the time Encore works if I export an "MP2" file from the Premiere CS4 timeline.
Any of you guys having trouble with Encore CS4? To me it has been a lot more buggy and unreliable than any previous version. The program also seems sluggish on our Q6600 4gGB RAM computers! Kind of like the program is straining just to open its windows.
Another thing that is annoying. Earlier in the day, I exported a Flash Web video for a client's review. A few hours later I had to make a 1 hour and 46 minute DVD with chapters for a client that had to be Fed Ex'd overnight. It took forever to complete and I soon realized that Encore defaulted back to the last export...FLASH! cr@p. I would prefer that the program defaulted to standard DVD creation. After all it is Encore DVD.

I'm having major problems with Media Encoder CS4.
When I try to create an AVI file (for example) from a section of my Premiere Pro CS4 timeline, the encoder opens, takes forever to load the project, and then, after I hit start queue button, it again takes forever to load the project in the small window at the bottom of the display.
Finally the "waiting" message in the queue list turns to an orange exclamation mark with the message that encoder "could not read from the source. PLease check if it has been moved or deleted." Which of course it has not been. THis happens even if I preview the section in advance in Premiere. material.
If at any point I hit the settings button it simply reloads the project

Questions About CS5 Premiere, Media Encoder, and Encore

I've just started using Adobe CS5 and have noticed several issues that preplex
me:
1. I edit a video clip in Premiere and put it into the que for Adobe Media Encoder to convert. The input file in Premiere is an HD MPG2 file. I've set the file output to be Blu-ray AVCHD with AC-3. After Adobe Media Encoder finishes converting the file, the time lengts of the video (M4V) and audio (AC3) do not match. They usually differ by 2 to 6 seconds. This causes video/audio sync problems when brought into Encore.
2. Some files that I que into Media Encoder from Premiere state that "Rendering media." I proceed with the conversion and every thing seems OK except it's not. When these files are brought into Encore, the first part of the files produce the same message. It seems that this part of the file is never rendered.
3. I had 250 gb available on my system drive before I started using Adobe CS5 but that free space quickly disappeared. I did learn how to clean up the cache mannually. It would seem that Adobe could do this automatically.
Any suggestions?

Please repost in the Premiere forum. This forum is for general suite-wide issues, generally relating to installation.

Some Media Offline, and No Sound in Video Export: Premiere Pro & Media Encoder

I have run into a couple problems:
First, sometimes when I try exporting an edited video from premiere, the video shows "Media Offline" even though it plays fine in Premiere. How could I fix this error?
Secondly, when I try exporting a different, longer-in-lenth video from Premiere, it shows NO Sound, despite there being sound in the ProRes file itself.
I tried restarting, clearing the cache and deleting the preferences - and it still isn't working. We also tried re-installing media encoder. I also tried contacting Adobe Support, and they haven't been helpful or responsive (My case number: 0186134420). Anyone know how to solve this one? Thanks!

See the last post and try it:
Media offline when exporting, but media online in PP?

I will pay for help, Media Encoder and Premiere Pro C4 won't work together

I know someone has two easy answers...help, help.
Big Problem one, exporting from Premiere C4, forced into using Media Encoder, which sit there and won't encode from the project/timeline.
The project is even small, 7 minutes, and I just want to me a AVI file and maybe Flash and Media Player. Is that too much to ask.
Then the versioncue.dll, decide to not let me right click in explorer and other links, get a windows error, and again, stuck with nothing.
Please, I will send someone a gift card if they can help me, really. $25-$50...depending on if you have the solutions.

Stan, that's correct, however, it's a new computer now. And yes, I want to
export to avi from the premiere time line.
One thing that is weird, I can add to Media Encoder only finished encoded
files, say to send to a client in a media player
or flash format, and all works well. It's only the Premiere C4 project
export????
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

Media Encoder issue or bug? 720p50 to 720i50

Can anyone confirm a Media Encoder issue, happening when converting progressive 50-fullframe (or 60 for ntsc) to 50-interlaced frames?
I tried to convert DVCProHD 720p50 clips to PAL DVD wich uses 576i50 (25 frames devided to 50 interlaced frames). The result was, that every second frame of the source clip was skiped, so I received a PAL clip in 25 full-frames (25p). And it didn't matter which field-order I choosed (upper/lower/progressive) - the result was always the same.
when converting p50 to i50 I would expect, that AME would convert these 50 full-frames to 50 interlaced-frames with the field order I choosed. For example Canopus Procoder is working this way.
Btw, I lost the link, where to report Premiere bugs to adobe. Can anyone post it, please?

See:
FAQ:How/Where do I report a bug?
