Premiere CC to AME - H.264 nightmare rendering problems with CUDA on rMBP

I've been struggling for weeks trying to troubleshoot and narrow down my encoding nightmare on my own and I have finally succumbed to getting the forum's or Adobe's Help.
Problem:
Rendering a Premiere Pro CC project with via Export Media > Queue to AME in H.264 causes the encode to randomly fail on multiple projects.
I find it quite amazing that this error happens as I surely am not the only one rendering ProRes to H.264 on a new Macbook Pro!
Symptom:
Output preview starts to flicker then encoding stops randomly, preview window turns to a black screen or simply stalls while the Elapsed Time keeps rolling, PProheadless crashes in Console, encoding sometimes resumes after several minutes post the crash (but sometimes not) however the final output in such case is garbled before/after the crash. Computer is useable. All other software shutdown. Not using computer during encode. Can reproduce virtually every time.

Attempts to solve the issue:
Tried encoding without external montior
Tried encoding with source on internal HDD, output internal HDD, source exterbak RAID, output internal HDD
Tried encoding with AME while Premiere is open in the background and without it opened in the background
Uninstalled other software that could mess with the graphics: Colormunki, Parallels.
Software mode is fine on all attempts in AME however encoding takes 2-3x longer. On a $3000 laptop it's not really great.
Encoding directly via Export Media > Export without Queuing to Adobe Media Encoder seems to work fine. I have not tried this too many times because I need to render multiple outputs and doing it without AME means a lot of 'sitting and waiting' to click Export for the next format. This is not an option.
Tried deleting the Media Cache
Completely reinstalled OS X 10.8.4 from scratch with no other software running and tried to export. Same problem.
Performed Apple hardward test. No problems.
To Test:
I'm planning on installing Bootcamp so I can test the problem in the Windows version and I could pinpoint it to a hardware problem rather than a software problem.
Notes:
Problem happens with CUDA and Open CL modes although in Open CL mode, the whole computer tends to freeze intead of just 'stalling'.
Editing and playback inside Premiere is OK! Even encoding out of Premiere is OK directly but not useful for me as I need to render each project to 5 different H.264 formats.
I hope you guys or Adobe's Support can find a solution to this problem because I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I've submitted a bug report but their reply is not very comforting:
but their bug report says "Due to the volume of submissions we receive, responses to inquiries are generally not possible. However, we may contact you if we need clarification on your submission." Nice.

Yes I considered your "solution" of just upgrading to Adobe CC but on principal I don't want to have to shell out more money to "fix" the problem. I was able to get an Adobe technician to view my screen in real time. He asked me where Prem Pro was after I opened it and my response was "precisely". The only evidence that Prem Pro is open is that there is the taskbar there with what appears to be fully functional drop down tabs but as far as the panels/workspace goes non-existent! He has "escalated" the matter I'll let you know what occurs next. I have tried using the software mode and there is no change. Like you I have wondered about a hardware proplem but I have checked via Disk Utility and there doesn't appear to be any? The CUDA issue well a) I am not sure how I would revert to previous drivers and b) when I re-installed Prem Pro from disc (that's version 6.0.0.) the only render option it gave me was Software only but that was also greyed out. Prem Pro still did not open up as it should!
I'll let you know what transpires.

This is a bit of a pain and I don't know how it'll work if you ever have a circular reference - i.e. a Premiere Project links to AE which in turn links to Premiere. I don't know how the media encoder will cope with that.
Circular references are not supported currently, so you need to structure your workflow accordingly. This is however a popular request, so chances are good it will come in one of the next versions.

2) For some reason, rendering out of an AE comp that dynamically links to a Premiere project with an MTS file in it is _much_ faster than rendering an AE comp that directly references the MTS file. On the footage I tested it with, a 30 second MTS file was suggesting 1 hour 30 minutes to render when AE reads the MTS file directly, but less than 9 minutes when using the dynamic linking. Go figure?!?
Premiere can handle suchg streams without conforming them,i.e. it does not need to decompress frames and blow them up to full RGB. And of course, being aimed at RT playback, it surely is even more optimized.

3) The Media Encoder that is now used by Premiere can render out to FLV using a 2 pass encoding but rendering out of AE only offers 1 pass. I don't know why this limitation would exist? Usually the two pass encoder is much better but I don't understand why it would be available in Media Encoder but not AE.
AE does not support temporal compression natively. The various media format savers try to circumvent that, but neither of them can hold an entire composition timeline in memory or temporarily store the result of the first analysis on disk, which is what would be required for 2-pass VBR. One of these days, maybe...

RAW file rendering problems with Pentax-k5

Since a few weeks I have serious problems with the raw rendering in aperture 3.4. I have done everything to solve this problem, but until now without succes. I have upgrade with mountain lion OS X 10.8.2 and I use the latest version of aperture 3.4.3 RAW 402 build 672.6.
Does anyone have this problem to? Or do you know how to solve this problem?
Regards
Jan K.

Jan,
that may be the same problem as discussed in this thread. Do you use in-camera settings to enhance your pictures? these will not be captured in the raw processing that Aperture does, but the pentax software understands the in-camera settings:

Raw file rendering problems with Canon EOS 5D in Aperture 3

Since upgrading to Aperture 3, I have had serious problems with the rendering of Canon EOS 5D (not Mark II/III) RAW files. With Aperture 2, both the preview and full-sized images looked basically the same as the original images as displayed on the camera's display, without any adjustments.
With Aperture 3, each preview images initially look fine after import, but when Aperture re-renders it from the RAW file (e.g. when displaying the full-size image), the colors are drastically intensified, and the hue is shifted generally towards green/blue. I've checked the RAW Fine Tuning, and it is set to the defaults. If I turn the default RAW Fine Tuning settings all the way down, the image is still not at all like the preview from the camera - it becomes much darker and stays too blue/green, with washed-out colors.
A friend with a Canon EOS 5D MkII also recently upgraded her Mac from Aperture 2 to 3, and hasn't experienced any problems. We've tried importing RAW files from my (non-MkII) camera to her Mac (with the default RAW Fine Tuning settings), and get the same results as with my own Mac (i.e. strange colors), so the problem seems to be related to the camera model.
I've also noticed that scanned greyscale tiff images (including images that were originally imported under Aperture 2) are changed when first displayed by Aperture 3 - they become darker and more contrasty, with lots of information lost in the shadow areas.
I've also tried removing Aperture preferences, Aperture itself, and re-installing from download, with no change in the problem. (Aperture is the current latest version, 3.3.2.)
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

I'm having the same problem.
iMac running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 and Aperture 3.3.2. Workflow is importing through Canon's DPP and then using referenced images in Aperture. The images look great in LR4, or Canon's DPP but are flat and dingy in Aperture.
There's a free preset that goes part way to fixing it at http://theapertureblog.com/2011/02/10/my-aperture-workflow-for-working-with-cano n-5d-mark-ii-files/
but as good as this fix is, it doesn't quite do the trick. [not being a hater, and not saying I can do better]
I just got back from shoooting 1,500 images with a 5DMii and a T2i using Canon 24-105L IS, 70-200 2.8L, 50 1.8 and a Sigma 120-400 and the T2i images are not just better, they're in a different league.
I've tried shooting in Faithful, Neutral and also toggling these presets in different ways and still can't get Aperture to match what I see on the camera's screen or in other Apps. I love the interface and DB of Aperture, but what's the point of using it if it doesn't produce and awesome image in the end?

Photoshop Premiere 9 vs 13? Are there any problems with CPU usage and crashing?

I stopped using Premiere, because they the computer would freeze and/or the program. I was curious if there was any issue with people currently using Version 13? I think I loaded it on this computer along with Photoshop Elements 9. After a while I just kept Photoshop Elements.
System Specs:
Windows 7 premium home edition
Processor Intel R Core TM i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz 2.30 GHz
Installed Memory 6.00GB 826 GB free
64 Bit Operating system

stephanies
If 64 bit, while 9 will be a 32 bit application with the limitations of a 32 bit application on 64 bit system, 13 will be a 64 bit application which translates into more computer resources available to 13.
Elements Organizer 9 will not integrate with Elements Organizer 13 although you can convert the 9 catalog in Elements Organizer 13. And there is a marked difference in the workspace between the two versions. Principles tend to stay the same, but features can be moved, changed, or discontinued.
I would have expected Premiere Elements 9/9.0.1 to have worked in your computer environment. Since it did not, I would strongly suggest that you look at the free 30 days tryout of Premiere Elements 13/13.1 in your computer environment to assure the compatibility of it with your computer environment and project goals.
Lots of causes for program crashes (any version).
a. Conflicts with antivirus program.
b. Problem with video card graphics card
c. Use of a pen and table device instead of mouse
d. Problematic source media and format conflicts
e. Not running program as Administrator
f. Poor installation
g. Failure to install QuickTime along with Premiere Elements on the computer
h. Not meeting System Requirements in some way.
i. Other

H.264 .mov files problem with 2-pass vbr in DVD SP4

I have converted some VHS tapes by connecting the VCR to my camcorder (as a AC/DC bridge) and the camcorder to my macbook pro via firewire, and record using FCP into .mov files.
However, these files are huge (13 GB for an hour), and so I shrinked them down by exporting them (using QT pro) into .mov file via h.264 codec.
However, when I try to convert these already shrinked .mov files into mpeg2 files via compressor 2 (so that I can made a DVD in DVD SP), the files become corrupt when I use 2-pass vbr. (Frame freezes on play back in DVD SP and QT pro). It's OK with 1 pass vbr though.
If I convert those huge .mov files via mpeg4 in QT pro rather than h.264, there is not problem with 2-pass vbr.
So my delemma is: shall I store the files using mpeg4, or h.264?
I am under the impression that h.264 gives a better quality for the same file size than mpeg4, but 2-pass vbr will give a better quality than 1-pass vbr if I want to burn it on a DVD.
Thanks in advance.

In general recompressing from VHS to your computer to H.264 (or MPEG 4) then to m2v is going to hurt quality, so if you are able to get extra Hard Drives and store that way, or even a inexpensive camera with a firewire in/out you are probably better off (though with VHS it may be hard to tell regardless)
Also if you at least go straight the first time to m2v and check to make sure it looks okay to you, you may want to make sure to do that first
That being said, H.264 and One-Pass should in all likelihood (I have not tried recently, did it a while ago just to test things) will be better than MPEG-4 2-Pass, depends on the settings. Also if you try 1-Pass H.264 it seems to work with Compressor.

WLP10.2 rendering problem with FF3.5.3

Hi,
We are building a portal using the WLP10.2. We are facing problems with FF3.5.3. It doesnt render the page immediately. On refreshing the page for 5-6 times we get to see the page rendering. We have even tried debugging the issue by installing firebug. In firebugs console it shows the files being loaded. It loads till the .../framework/scripts/bea/wlp/context/Other.js and stops loading the page from there. After clearing the browser cache and refreshing 5-6 times, the site than loads up. By the way we are even using jQuery to render certain UI like tabs, accordian being used in the page.
Anyone, if you have encountered such a problem. Please let me know what was the workaround you people tried.
Regards,
Subrahmanyam.D

Are you using the DVT (dynamic visitor tools)? Is this a production mode or development mode deployment? I assume that DISC is enabled because you watched DISC modules loading.
Is there an error message in the firebug console?
I saw something that may be similar: the DVT would stop during some of its initialization code. It is client-side code that was calling some dojo module initialization code.

Premiere Pro CC problem with CUDA

Hello there, I have problem with my Nvidia GTX 560 Ti (with CUDA cores), didn't work with Adobe Premiere Pro CC, why? Because before "CC" I work on Premiere Pro CS 5,5 and there my CUDA works perfectly, is this problem came from Premiere CC? Please help me?

Try ingesting the files through adobe prelude. Convert .mts-files to DNxHD format. If there is a problem with dolby digital audio license change your camera audio record settings to PCM instead of dolby digital.
I am still getting an error with .MTS-files including dolby digital encoded audio : "This istallation does not have a license to decode Dolby Digital audio", but PCM audio works.
I have not found a sollution for that from other adobe forums:

neither the latest update made any difference.

Rendering problem with Internet Explorer

Hi all,
i have a BSP with MVC, HTMLB and Design2003.
The table rendering in the IE requires 15sec.
With Firefox the rendering requires only 1sec.
The table has 100rows and Buttons in it.
has anyone an idea what's the problem with the IE-rendering?
greetings,
Markus

Hi,
- the IE Version is 6.0 SP2 on WinXP
- before and after the table are some buttons only.
- i use no htmlb:gridlayout or phtmlb:matrix
- the table is realized with <htmlb:tableView>
in IE, I see that the response is finish but the IE displays for maybe 15sec. a grey screen and after that time I see my page. In Firefox I see my page immediately!

Rendering problems with Cineform files Premiere Pro CS6 Mac

Using CS6 Premiere Pro (latest updates) on MAC OS X 10.8.2 with Cineform stereoskopic files. Generally all looks good. Preview is working smoothly. When rendering (H264 Blu ray, MP2 DVD, Quicktime.. does not seem to matter) slowly the number of threads is increasing while rendering and when there are about 2050 threads or so then rendering just halts, CPU load going down, progress stops, rendering never finishes. Anybody having an idea what could be the issue?! Thanks

Okay how should I be exporting the files to use in premiere then? I exported a couple that were just a minute long and they ended up being 2 gb...

Catastrophic Rendering Problem with PDF's on iMac, iPad, iPhone and iBooks

Hi,
i would like to hear from anybody who has had the same experience.
A customer sent me an order per email with an attached PDF order. We use apple mail for all incoming emails on an iMac.
Both in apple mail when viewing the attachment (no need to open it) and in the previewer using quick look and also having saved the attachment and opened it directly with previewer all seemed OK.
We delivered the product as requested but received a complaint because the client claimed that we had overlooked certain details in the order. This caused a considerable amount of disagreement because both parties felt they were right.
To make sure the documentation was complete we saved the attachment on our vmware- windows XP machine in our client data folders. We later opened the attachment on the windows machine which uses adobe reader and not apple previewer.
Lo and behold - all the details which the client said were contained were now visible.
Further investigation showed that any data which the client had printed/generated in bold font were not being displayed on the mac.
Unbelievable, so we forwarded the mail to a sevaral colleagues for double checking.
They all confirmed our findings. Apple mail and previewer do not display the same data as when using adobe reader.
Even worse: neither do the email displayer on ipad or iphone conform to what is displayed by the original. Even saving the docoment to iBooks does not help.
Our only guess is that the client who sent the PDF is probably using a non-adobe pdf creator which happens to work if you use adobe reader to display it but probably does not conform to the spec which others, such as apple, use when displaying. Maybe abobe reader is just more error tolerant.
I have sent feedback to apple but hardly think they will crash update all their products.
As it happened this caused an argument about a few euros. I hate to think what it could cause though.
-Paul-

While not common, what you describe is no unusual either. I can tell you that the person who created the PDF almost certainly used Adobe's products. It is Adobe that is not compatible with all of the other PDF implementations. I encourage you to submit a bug report to Apple and include a copy of the PDF. There was a "bug" in Apple's PDF rendering software in version 10.6.7 for which Apple released a fix fairly quickly. I say "bug" in quotes because the PDF was perfectly valid according to all published standards. All PDF viewing programs on either Mac or Windows could read the PDF - except Adobe.
Ultimately, PDF is a print technology and will fall by the technology wayside pretty soon.

I have adobe premiere elements 10 and I am having some problems with it please help

So here are the problems I'm having with Adobe Premiere Elements 10:
1. Transitions will not load. The word loading pops up and it won't come up.
2. The videos won't play smoothly. When I press play it skipps in a way it won't play smooth which makes it really hard to edit.
3. Keeps closing out on me. It will have a thing that pops up that says "Adobe premiere elements has stopped working and closes out of the program. It does it constantly.
Please help me I don't know what is wrong with it.

The first two issues sound like a video driver problem.
What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
What is the installed video driver number and date?
For the last issue, it could be many things, including the video driver. I'd look over this ARTICLE, and if there is nothing in the first part, then move on to tuning up the OS an computer in the second part. That would probably be a good time to post the full specs. of your computer, and also both your Project and Source footage. Finally, part three covers many troubleshooting tips, and furnishes many links.
Good luck,

Portal Collection List Renderer - problem with alignment

Dear All,
I'm having an issue with alignment of columns when changing a Layoutset.
This modification is all done with SAP standard components, so I decided to try my luck here first at SDN before writing an OSS message.
Here's what is happening:
I want to have the KM files listed like this:
(as I can't put a printscreen, I will put it on text for you to have an idea)
FILENAME..................MODIFIED...........................MODIFIEDBY
...file1..........................xx/xx/xxxx..........................aaaaaaaa
Description of file1 here....
file2.............................xx/xx/xxxx..........................aaaaaaaa
Description of file2 here....
file3.............................xx/xx/xxxx..........................aaaaaaaa
Description of file3 here....
To obtain this I'm changing the standard object AdminCollectionListRenderer
I do this by going to KM configuration and change this SAP standar object on
Collection List Renderer Settings > AdminCollectionListRenderer
    Flavor:
      From: List
      To: Not Set
    Displayed Properties:
      From: rnd:icon,rnd:displayname(contentLink)+rnd:action,contentlength,rnd:lock,modified,modifiedby
      To: rnd:displayname(contentLink),rnd:lock,modified,modifiedby,rnd:description(\[2;1-1\]/noTitle/maxChars=300)
The result is ok, but there's a very small detail that doesn't disappear no matter what I do.
If you go to the txt above, the "file1" is ALWAYS one blank space to the right. It's not aligned with the
other items on the list.
Has anyone experienced this ?
Is there any solution ?
Kindest Regards
/Ricardo Quintas

Check in your type preferences. Apply leading to entire paragraphs will fix this. It's likely that the return at the end of your last line has a larger point size assigned to it, and it's throwing your leading off.

Rendering problem with Publishing HTML field

All,
I am running into an issue with a publishing HTML field. I have added this field to a content type. On a page layout which uses this content type, I have this field only in an edit mode panel. This field is not intended to be rendered on the page. However,
if I use an HTML form web part in this field, the field is actually rendered on the page. It is rendered with a <div style='display:none'>. I need to use an HTML form web part because I don't want the markup I am entering to be altered. Is there any
way I can avoid this and not have it rendered since it is only contained within an edit mode panel?
Thanks

click file/publish settings/formats, make sure the swf and html boxes are selected, and click the use default names button. then click file/publish. are the files in your directory with your fla?
if not, create a new directory (that has no subdirectories), save your fla to that new directory using a new name (ie, click file/save as). then click file/publish. check the new directory for your 3 files.

Rendering problems with a motion project

Hi there,
can anyone help?
I have a fairly simple motion graphic which i am trying to use in an FCP edit. The Motion project is some moving text with a simple background. The project renders fine in RAM in Motion.
The problem is that when I try and render this in FCP, the background becomes very distorted-the graphics are fine but the background isn't.
Is there anything I can do to rectify this? Any settings etc?
Any help would be very gratefully received!
thanks

You need to give the exact specifications of your Motion project and of the media in your FCP sequence and of the sequence in which the clips and the Motion project are being assembled.
