Premiere CS4: No export with MediaEncoder possible

Hi there... I´m really in desperation.
I´m an ambitious "video newbie" with some years of editing experince with Magix Video Deluxe.
I´m using a Win7 64bit (i7-950, 12GB, GTX 460) and installed the CS4 / 32bit Testsuite 10 days agao (I was so excited to try this software with my new computer, that I did not have the time to wait until I downloaded the CS5 suite).
In these 10 days I created a stunning (for my personal means) 30 minute video which I want to present this weekend (nevertheless also beacause my test period ends ).
So, my problem is, that since yesterday, I´m not able to render the entire movie: MediaEncoder just stops at the first movie. It´s not freezed in the first minutes... only after some minutes, it´s freezed. When it freezes, I can get it back working when I kill the process "ImportProcessServer.exe*32".
I tried this as AVI Uncompressed.... H.264 ....
Exception: When I try it as WMV it renders the movie, but freezes when it encounters in case of some movie footage. I realized, that these movies are for example .MOV-files (taken from a Lumix TZ7 in 720p/30fps).
Can this problem occur because of a Quicktime issue?
Hints:
- I already reinstalled Premiere Pro
- Rendering works fine in After Effects
- Editing and rednering works fine in Magix Video Deluxe
- I have also freezes and importing problems in Premiere, when I encounter .MOV-Files. In most cases, I have to kill the process "ImportProcessServer.exe*32" to stop the freezed situation.
I really appreciate any help / hints.... it´s so depressing for me!

For the sequence that won't export, trim the beginning of the sequence to eliminate the graphic and the title; that is, trim it to the beginning of the first MOV file.
Try the export again.  Does it work now?

  • Premiere Pro CS4 PCM export with 5.1 channels possible?

    Due to the missing SurCode DD 5.1 codec in CS4 I wonder if Premiere Pro CS4 or Encore CS4 can export or create a Blu-Ray disc with 5.1 PCM audio?
    I only can choose PCM stereo or DD stereo so far.

    I've a question. So far I could not export 5.1 channels with Premiere Pro CS4.
    Even I could not Master in 5.1. I hav same 5.1Master, but I could not change the (final) Master settings to 5.1. Can this be changed? Or maybe the probleme is that I don't have a driver or a plug-in, or can this be solved with puuting a 5.1 or 7.1 audiocard in the PC?
    Thanks forward!
    Oh I'd forgot. I only export to .avi, .mpg, .mp4. I don't use the other formats. Can this be somhow the probleme?

  • Premiere CS4 Audio Output with Decklink

    Hi,
    i found serveral posts in the net for my Problem, but no solution.
    Were on a WindowsXP machine with Premiere CS4 and a Blackmagic Decklink Card.
    If we choose a Sequence-Preset from Blackmagic Decklink (which is important for us) and choose the internal Soundcard for Audio Playback,
    we dont hear anything. The Audio is routed through the Decklink. We have tried everything to achieve that that audio will be played through the internal Soundcard, but it seems as if the Settings are overwritten by the Decklink Preset.
    In CS3 this Problem doesnt exist.
    Many thankx in advance for your help....
    Sascha

    oh, we have the actual CS4 Update and Deckling Driver installed.

  • Premiere CS6 - MXF export with 8 channel audio does not export my audio channels correctly

    Hey Volks,
    when i try to export an mxf file with 8 channel audio, premiere does a kind of main mix in channel 1 and 2 and channel 3 to 8 remain silent. It does not include my assignment of audio channels in the mxf file.
    im very thankful for any idea...

    Hi Dast Media,
    Have you resolve the multi channel export?
    I have the same problem...(the export it's ok but i hear only the first two tracks)
    i need to export  a MXF file with 8 tracks, 6 stereo and 2 mono.
    Thank you for help!

  • Premiere cs4 works NOT with BMD DECKLINK EXTREME card

    hello,
    in opposite to the information at
    http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/pdfs/prempro_cs4_formatguide.pdf
    no decklink or SDI presets appear while opening a new project.
    Since I work with SDI (DIGITAL BETACAM) I can not use PrCS4.
    Is there any trick there?
    regards
    vonthile

    I know that the last Blackmagic update was a month before CS4 came out and only then did really get it working correctly with CS3.
    Also keep in mind that that RED support has been on that list since October but was only released a month ago.
    Maybe someone else can answer this better but with CS3 I didn't get the presets from Blackmagic until I installed the update from them, which still hasn't happened.
    It's my understanding that Adobe didn't release an SDK until the 4.0.1 update. Meaning it'll be a few months for everyone to catch up.

    The zeros aren't there because they never were there. Your loop starts at 0 and that could be a page number. To pad your page numbers to three-digit numbers, replace this line:
    myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + "MyTest_" + (my_suffix + myCounter) + ".pdf";
    with this one:
    myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + "MyTest_" + (my_suffix + pad(myCounter)) + ".pdf";
    and add the following function somewhere at the end of your script:
    function pad (n) {
        return ("00000"+n).slice(-3);

  • Premiere CS4 - Encoding with AME ridiculously slow

    Hello there.
    After having read many threads on various forums, I have not come to a single hint as to why AME is encoding any type of video materal extremely slow. I'm sorry if this question has been asked many times on this forum, but maybe someone has come up with a working solution?
    My computer specifications are:
    Windows Vista 32bit (yes I know, upgrade is needed)
    Intel Quad Core Q9000 @ 2 GHz
    4 GB RAM
    Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT - 512mb
    500GB sATA HDD @ 5400 rpm
    This is a notebook. I use Premiere CS4 and AME4 with the most current updates (v4.1)
    Here is what I usually do:
    I export my project media from Premier to AME with the appropriate format and encoder settings, close Premiere and kill all background tasks. My RAM usage is now at around 1.4 GB (out of 3 GB!).
    In this case, I'd use the built-in MPEG2 codec with PAL settings (720x576 - 25i - 8Mbit/sec), the source file is in MPEG4 @ 20Mbit and 10 minutes long. I started the encoding process and it was slowing down from 10 minutes initially to a frustrating render time of 60 minutes. Why?
    I have used VirtualDub and TMPGEnc, both achieved, compared to AME, incredibly low render times, a bit higher than double realtime. When I use AME the same way, as encoder for an avi file only and not a Premiere project, it is losing by 6-7 times of the other programs render time.
    Second scenario:
    I have 20 seconds uncompressed avi material (600Mbit/sec) and like to convert it to MPEG4 with AME. MPEG4 settings are at 50Mbit, I-frames only, 50fps and progressive. I started the encoding again and at first, AME was rushing through 1/4th of the progress bar in 5 seconds, and then slowing down to an overall encoding time of 50 (!) minutes and it ended about 52 minutes later.
    During this rendering I had the windows resourcemonitor (of the taskmanager) open and checked the access rate to my hard disk. For the entire duration of 50 minutes, AME read between 50 megabyte and 125 megabyte per second on the hard disk. The file itself was less than 2 GB large - what on earth could it read? Also, my RAM usage came close to 2,8 GB but never reached 3 GB or higher.
    Does anyone have an idea or is it just that freeware programs are superior to a costly AME?

    I have already run that test about 4 hours prior to writing this thread. Now I'm not at this computer, but from top of my head the results were:
    Total 180 (about)
    Export Avi 38 (not entirely certain, could be up to 10 higher)
    Encode MPEG 90 (not entirely certain, could be 20 lower or higher)
    Render Time 7 (the only number I recall correctly)
    I'm well aware my hard disk isn't fast - but why should VirtualDub be able to encode a 2gb uncompressed avi clip with a duration of 20 seconds to DivX in about a 1/3rd real time/8fps (using 50mbit, i-frames and 50fps and amazing quality) while AME takes 50 minutes (1/200th realtime) for the same file with the integrated MPEG4 encoder?
    Now, I know that those are different codecs, yet their data reduction works on a similar base. From my point of view, there's not much that could explain such a high discrepancy of performance on the hardware side, other than AME just does not like my computer configuration. I know my computer is very capable to perform way better than that, just with about any other program but AME, and that is a royal pain.
    Unfortunately, I am unable to install a second HDD in this notebook, because it is full. I do know it could perform better using a secondary HDD, but I have also encoded files with Adobe Premiere CS3, and that performed way better than CS4 on the same computer.

  • CS4 not exporting audio with video

    For a while now I've been working on a video for my class, mish-mashing together a bunch of smaller .avi files into a cohesive whole. Everything inside of Premier works perfectly. I edited the audio tracks with Soundbooth, so now they are .wav. When I export the video, first I tried MPEG4 and messed around with a lot of settings. After this didn't work, I searched around and discovered that Premiere occasionally doesn't like it when you change the pre-set settings, so I switched to H.264 High Quality and exported with that. Same deal: the video works fine, no audio. And yes, I made sure to check the box that says "audio and video" and not just video.
    In short: How do I get Premiere CS4 to export my audio and video when I tell it to?

    I used no special setting. I even tried to just export audio. Still no audio. I checked the file with GSpot, it shows that it has audio.
    Then I though I just went ahead an encode this and output to DVD as a test. It is indeed still no audio when playback on home dvd player.

  • Problem exporting with adobe encoder. Please help

    While using adobe premiere cs4 I export my project as mpeg4. then it opens the NTSC, 176x144, 15 fps.. It opens in adobe encoder and then i hit queue. after it is done it open up in "adobe device central" and that's where i'm lost. All i want to do is upload my video on to Youtube.com. What am I doing wrong??

    You never showed a screen capture of what your starting media is.
    Im guessing its standard DV at 720x480 ?
    Dont use MPEG4
    Use the H264 and then select the YouTube pre-set that matches your source footage.
    3GP (3GPP file format) is a multimedia container format defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for 3G UMTS multimedia services. It is used on 3G mobile phones but can also be played on some 2G and 4G phones.
    Using the H264 should get you what you want.
    It you shoot in widescreen you can choose that one too.

  • Need help with Premiere CS4 Export...

    I currently shoot HD video with a Canon Vixia HF S10 digital camcorder (link goes to Canon's site). I shoot at the highest quality available, MXP 24 Mbps (1920x1080). When I bring the video over to my machine, it comes over as an .mts file which is the AVCHD file format (link goes to Wikipedia article on the format). I import these .mts files into Adobe Premiere (CS4). I import them into a AVCHD 1080p30 (29.97) Sequence. I do my editing, adding title screens, music, whatever. The problem comes when I go to export the final product into a usable format.  I've tried all different sorts of formats to export to and I can't get any usable results. If I select, for instance, H.264 HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality (a preset within Premiere) the video comes out extremely choppy...as in the audio will play and the video will hitch along and be mostly out of sync dropping whole sections of the video as it tries to catch up.
    My end goal is to be able to export two versions...a higher quality (maybe burned to a DVD or Blu-Ray) and a lower quality (but still HD) for uploading to YouTube/SmugMug.
    Any help or thoughts anyone may have would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmm... My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to what I built for CS5
    Your computer is going to be a bit slower, but I don't see anything really obvious that would cause the output to be choppy
    But... have you considered converting to HDV to see if that edits better for you?
    Convert AVCHD to HDV http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390605?tstart=0
    or use Cineform Neo Scene http://www.cineform.com/neoscene/
    Added... Looking at my notes, I use a different AVCHD setting in CS5... have you tried other AVCHD project settings?

  • Premiere CS4 to Encore CS4 Export  Quality Problems

    I recently purchased a non-linear editing machine with an RTX2 Matrox Card and CS4 Professional. After six or seven projects, I finally noticed that all my imported .avi files exported through Adobe Media Encoder and burned through Encore CS4 are not as crisp, sharp, or look like the original high quality SD footage after the DVD is burned like it always used to look in CS2. ( jumped from CS2 to CS4)
    These DVDs were of plays, football, and basketball games. It seems that when the camera shoots a close up, the video looks fine but after you shoot from a distance, there is a considerable difference in the footage. ( alomost blurry) I just caught this and nobody has complained but I watched one of my older DVDs I produced with CS2 and it had no quality loss whatsoever. There is a night and day difference
    For the sequences, I am using Matrox SD, NTSC, Standard, 720 x 486  and capturing with firewire through the Matrox card. The raw footage is beautiful. The Video Preview Option is NTSC Standard and the Codec is NTSC Matrox DV/DV Cam.
    I can playback a timeline from the Matrox card and burn directly to a DVD burner and the footage is perfect, but when I export, I have chosen Microsoft .avi file, Matrox DV/DV Cam/ MPEG2, and MPEG2DVD.
    I have even changed the sequences codec to Matrox MPEG-2 I-Frame and tried exporting using that out of Adobe Media Encoder and am getting the same results.
    None of my customers have complained yet, but I definitely do not want to continue producing almost blurry DVDs.
    I am using Adobe Premiere CS4 Version 4.1.0 and Encore CS4 Version 4.0.1.048 and Matrox Version 4.1.0.23
    Can this problem be related to and eliminated by updating my CS4 Production Suite and my Matrox Software.
    I was wondering if anyone had experienced this same issue and what solution they came up with or if anyone knew if the updates would correct this important issue. I just filmed a lengthy play that I have to author through Encore CS4 and I cannot release any more of my productions until this problem is solved. This is a big dollar production and I need some assistance on this matter as soon as possible. Thanks  Jimi White

    Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I just purchased my non-linear with CS4 Production Suite and the Matrox RTX2. I have several projects that I am working on right now and I was advised by Adobe, Matrox, and my non-linear vendor, 1 Beyond, to finish those projects before performing updates.
    I also found out that If I export using the MPEG2  8Mbps, it cleared up the video dramatically. We had to go through a number of export presets in order to find out what worked best in Encore. I am going to try to finish the project now and will advise on the results.
    This is a basketball highlight DVD and that's when I noticed the problem. My other productions were photos to music, and non sporting events and I didn't notice any problems with those DVDs ( they actually looked decent. Worst part about it was, I finished the project once and burned 18 DVDs, and then reviewed one of them and found the problem. I have to start over and just eat the DVDs printed and all.
    Thanks again, it was nice of you to get back to me.

  • Media Encoder error about activation when exporting in activated version of Premiere CS4

    I get the following error when I try to export media in Premiere CS4 (Note: I have a legal and activated copy of CS4 Master Collection). In Premiere, it appears to go through (the loading progress bar fills and then disappears) but when I check the folder, it's empty. And then I notice that there's another icon in my taskbar and oh hey, it says "AMT Subsystem Error: Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS5. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not activated. Please launch and activate that Adobe product before continuing to use Media Encoder."
    I'm using Windows 7 x64 (8gb of RAM). I tried installing the patch as suggested in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/719451 but it only claimed to not have the corresponding program installed. I tried checking to see if there were any updates - there weren't.
    A quick check on my computer reveals that both Media Encoder CS4 and CS5 are installed. I looked to see if there was a way to uninstall the CS5 version but didn't see it. The only way I think I could have gotten it was though some sort of Adobe update.
    Any ideas of how to fix this?

    Hi: I have the same problem, but it happened very suddenly and after very specific updates. I successfully encoded a file using the CS6 encoder. Then, I allowed updates to Adobe Media Player and Adobe Air. I tried to encode with CS6 again and it had stopped working - all in the space of 5 minutes. A reboot did not help. I also have CS4 and CS 5.5 installed and have had all along (which means that you can have them and use the CS6 encoder). Since I can no longer use the CS6 encoder, but am able to launch an older one, I am using that for the moment. I hope that this reply will be of some help in finding a solution.

  • Camtasia Poor Quality in Premiere CS4 Export

    I am a PC user. One of my clients uses Mac and Camtasia to screen capture his software program, which I need to integrate into a video I am making for his company. The MP4 Camptasia file he sends me looks good. I bring the file into Premiere to edit it, but when I export it, the clip done with Camtasia has very poor quality, while the footage I shot with my video camera looks great.
    Specs:
    Camera: HMC40, PH mode 1080/60i (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression).

    Output summary: NTSC, 1920X1080, 29.97 drop frame (fps), Progressive, Quality 5.0
    Note in general: I found that if I set the Bitrate Encoding at VBR 1Pass, I got glitches sporadically.Using VBR 2Pass has solved this.
    My question about the Camtasia clip:
    1) How can I get the Camtasia footage to be as sharp in the export as in the original?
    Other questions in general:
    2) Are my New Sequence setting in Premiere correct? AVCHD > 1080i > AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic
    3) Is my choice to export as MPEG2, HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality preset, the best for the footage I shoot?
    4) Is my choice to set the Multiplexer tab > Bitrate and Buffering Details at ‘Variable’ the best?
    5) Do my Bitrate and GOP settings need adjustment?
    6) Should my Export field order be Upper instead of Progressive?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    The frame rate is 1038 X 882
    That is a very odd frame size, and one that probably won't work well no matter what workflow you use.  You asked:
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    how could he better capture and export to match my workflow?
    Have him capture and export to match your desired export frame size for the finished project.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    How would you suggest I change my workflow to handle the interlaced and progressive issue?
    I can't answer that until I know exactly how you intend to deliver your finished video.  Any answers to your other questions will also likely depend on your intended delivery format and media.

  • Videos export with purple/green artifacts/splotches/flashes with Media Encoder CC but export fine with Premiere Pro CC?

    I use Premiere Pro CC to edit videos, and videos render fine when I export through Premiere Pro, but when I try to use Media Encoder CC, the video exports with weird splotches of green/purple artifacts all throughout. It almost looks like the video is glitching and having a seizure of green and purple. No idea why this happens. Could anybody help me? I use Media Encoder to export bulks of videos at a time through its queue feature, which is why I prefer to use Media Encoder for video exporting.
    Please and thanks.

    Mitch,
    I was hoping that you and others might have some insight as to whether the purple and green artifacts / splotches seen in the attached screenshots (taken from 4 consecutive frames here but occurring through the entirety of the clip) could possibly have resulted from exporting video with ~ Premiere Pro CS5 or 6 ? As seen below, these splotches alternate back and forth between purple and green in every consecutive frame. I was also hoping that someone might know if this is a relatively common type of artifact and how it is caused.

  • Premiere CS4 Does Not Correctly Export Quicktime

    Hello,
    When CS4 initially came out, all of the Quicktime exports were messed up. Now after several patches it still seems that it is not completely correct. I have rendered out of a 3d app sequential images with a white background and an alpha channel. When I import these into Premiere, when the alpha channel is disabled for the clip, it correctly shows a white background in the monitor. But when I export this clip to Quicktime Animation and turn on 32 bit depth, it creates the clip with an alpha channel, but when the alpha channel is disabled on the clip, it renders the background still as black, but with no alpha. It should render it as white. Quicktime Animation clips created this way with other Quicktime exporting software does not do this, and so I believe this is a bug. Where can this be logged?
    thx

    It's not a problem with Quicktime, but rather Premiere CS4 because other apps can create the same thing correctly, using the Quicktime Animation codec.
    thx
