Premiere Pro CC - MPEG2-DVD export issues

I have two projects that I am attempting to export using MPEG2-DVD, both exports begin to playback correctly but about half way through the video begins cutting out, flashing white and and green, and then cuts to completely green. Also the sequence length is 25:18, and after export it is 18:05. Export preset for MPEG2-DVD was NTSC 23.976p Wide, nothing else changed. I also tried exporting with Media Encoder, with the same results.
Video was shot with Canon DSLR and GoPro at 24p. Project is to 23.976fps. Video effects added in sequence are Warp Stabilizer, Lumetri looks, Brightness & Contrast, and Three-Way Color Corrector. I disabled all effects, exported with same settings as before, video was at the same shortened length, but the white and green coloring is gone.
Any ideas of why the video effects might be distorting the color? And why the time is dropping from 25:18 to 18:05?

Any luck getting the green and white lines corrected? We broadcast on a local cable channel and our inserter requires MPEG-2 format. When we export in MPEG-2 format from Premier Pro though we get the green and white lines when broadcasting. Right now we're having to export it in a different format, and then use a separate program to convert it to MPEG-2.

  • Premiere Pro CC + Multichannel Audio Export issues?

    Currently I need to deliver 6 Channels of 5.1 audio mixed needs to be paralled with film and add Closed Caption and export as QT (Pro Res 422(HQ) with 6 Channels of Audio).
    When I Try to export from Premiere Pro CC, I was asked combine 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 and when I export get 7 Channels with 3 stereo pairs.
    Is it not possible to export 6 Channels only export as individual tracks along with Video in a QuickTime Export. Also have option only to select 5 or 7 Channels rather than my 6 channels why?
    Attached screenshot for reference.

    I know this thread is old but I figured I'd answer anyway if anyone comes across this post with the same question.
    Premiere Pro will still export 6 uncompressed channels of audio when you select 5.1.
    It doesn't bother giving you the option for a 6 channel QT file because it is the same as 5.1.
    I had the same issue a while ago where I wanted to export a ProRes HQ file with 6 channels of audio but instead of 5.1, it was Lt-Rt (1-2), M&E (3-4), SOT (5-6). I just selected 5.1 when exporting then configure the channels as mono in Quicktime 7 Pro. Works perfectly.

  • Exporting from Premiere Pro CS5 and DVD authoring

    I have a reoccuring problem with Premiere Pro and authoring DVDs. This is how it goes.
    I shoot a video using a Canon 5D Mark III. 1080p 24.
    I then edit in Premiere Pro CS5, with proper settings on the sequence which are the preset Digital SLR > 1080p > DSLR 1080p24.
    Everything is hunky dory.
    Then I have to export...and the frustration ensues...
    I export using the HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality export preset with the H.264 export codec. This gives me a decent .mp4
    I then bring this file into Encore and author the dvd. I used the regular dvd and the blue ray export settings as a test, but the video always ends up looking horrible with artifacts all over the place, especially on areas of high contrast. It looks like a badly compressed .jpg.
    This happens at various times when exporting animation/motion graphics from After Effects also. When I use a ramp in the background, the gradient is often very banded...
    When I rent a movie from the video store, the images and type look good on whatever i play the dvd on or watch it through. When I burn a dvd, it looks universally bad using all kinds of players on all kinds of monitors, projectors, etc...
    Can anyone lead be in the direction of an article or video that will thoroughly explain this so i can learn it once and for all?
    Thanks in advance.

    Jim, lol.
    Thanks everyone as usual.
    So, should my composition settings for after effects be set to 24 or 23.976 and can i render them as 16 bit?
    Will this reduce the banding and artifacts along with using dynamic link? Or will it ultimately be 8 bit by the time the dvd is burned and go back to the banding....?

  • Big Problems with PP - AE - Encore MPEG2-DVD export

    Hey guys & gals
    For the last two days I have pretty much torn the remaining hair from my scalp...
    I have a 190 minute 1920x1080 25p Video, all prepared in Premiere Pro.
    The Video has ONE audio track and THREE video tracks.
    Each of the Video tracks has some transitions (in my case: Roll Away (page peel)).
    One of the vids is the main video, the two others should appear in Picture-in-Picture Frames created with After Effects.
    The end result should then be rendered to MPEG2-DVD and a DVD created with Encore.
    Here are my two (?) problems.
    Problem 1: Premiere Pro & After Effects
    - When replacing my nested sequences (each video track is its own nest) and send it to AE all seems well.
    - However: None of my transitions will render out of AE (basically clip 1 cuts right away to clip 2 without the transition)
    Problem 2: MPEG2-DVD export - sound is too short
    - When I render my footage to MPEG2-DVD using AME, the sound is always too short.
    - Example: I got a 24 min chapter and the sound only lasts around 23 minutes. Then it just goes silent while the rest of the video plays.
    - (I multiplexed the sound into the MPEG2 file).
    Possible Solution?
    I have tried so many things already... Now I am thinking about this:
    Is this a solution for #1?:
    - export every video track separately and lossless (Windows Media, 1920x1080 25p ?)
    - export the sound sound track as AAC sound.
    - Create a new timeline with the newly rendered (have all transitions in them) videos.
    - THEN send them to AE again. AE does its thing.
    For Problem #2 (sound too short) I have no idea right now. That is the most vexing of my problems.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards from Berlin,
    Michael

    Thanks John & tfi for clearing up the audio/video issue!
    I will try that now - I am confident your advise works!
    As far as my system is concerned: Pretty fast i7 with multiple disks, Software is Creative Cloud Subscription (so all should be up-to-date).
    Maybe I don't get this whole Premiere / After Effects combo. I am a PPro advanced user, but an absolute AE noob
    So: I have a sequence in PPro. It has all kinds of transition effects in there, such as the "roll away" page peel.
    When I replace the sequence with an AE comp, I lose my transitions. In AE it shows all of the effects, such as 'roll away' between the clips, but they all have 0 duration.
    AE cuts from one clip to another without the transition.
    I hope I don't have to render my three videos out to lossless WMF or something and then put them in AE. In total, I have 6 disks with 90 chapters to go. That would be 270 exports before I can even begin working in AE...
    Again, thanks guys! And more help is even more appreciated

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 craches exporting mpeg2-dvd

    Please help me.
    I'm trying to export a movie to mpeg2-dvd and premiere pro craches after a while. Is there any way to know what is the problem, like a log file somewhere?
    I believe that is something in this project because i've exported an older one and it went ok

    I still have the same problem.
    I will give all informations yhat you asked in your reply:
    Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update
    All windows updates
    System: Windows 7 Professional x64
    Source footage: HDV clip
    No error message during render. It just stops in a specific effect (crossfade). If i delete this transition i can render the entire sequence but then software crashes when exporting media (mpeg dvd) or after a very long time gives "unknown error"
    Has this ever worked before? If export an old project it works normaly
    What other software are you running? no other software, only cs 5.5
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? matrox mx.paterns but not in use in this project
    Tell us about your computer hardware: Asus Workstation, I7 960 12GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro 2000, Matrox Mini MXO2
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration? Yes my gpu is supported. Already tried with software acceleration, same problem
    Already copied entire work area to another sequence and doing so i loose all effects and then exports fine.
    I hope I have provided enough information so that someone can help me

  • Premiere Pro CS5 crashing when exporting (only certain file types)

    Hi
    I have found that when I try and export media in Premiere Pro CS5, it often crashes during the export. It says
    It's only certain file types. For instance, Vimeo HD seems okay but Vimeo SD always crashes mid-export. MPEG is okay too, but MPEG2-DVD always crashes.
    Sometimes it says this: "Error Compiling Movie - Unknown Error" but doesn't throw me out of Premiere altogether.
    Other times it crashes altogether and Windows gives me this error message: "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 258.96 stopped responding and has successfully recovered". Premiere Pro then stops responding so I have to re-open it and start exporting again.
    I have checked there are no gaps in my timeline and I have rendered the whole work area. Besides, I doubt it's anything that I'm doing wrong with the project itself because it's exporting fine in some formats.
    I am also experiencing random crashes when editing too. Not that often, but occasionally it throws me out - and twice it has made the whole screen go crazy, with weird dotting across the screen (it's scary, it looks like the monitor itself has broken!).
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Nick
    PS I have a pretty decent new PC - Dell Studio XPS, 8GB, 2x1TB drives, etc. Premiere itself is working great, except for these crashes.

    Some drivers do not work well in some systems... so go to nVidia and try a different (usually newer) driver for your card
    These notes are for Encore, but they MAY also work in Premiere

  • Why do Encore CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 have intermittant Sync issues?

    I am noticing that Encore CS5 is "buggy" regarding sync issues with material edited by Womble and Corel Video Studio and I am guessing other programs as well?
    In high definition I take AVCHD and  edit in Corel Video Studio.  If I leave the project as one single 42 minute segment and import this asset into Encore CS5, more often than not there are bad sync issues.  To get around this I have to divide the 42 minute project into approximately 6 smaller ones- Each smaller asset ends where I had done the editing.  Encore does not have any problems now with these 6 smaller assets.
    In standard definition I edit in Womble and export as a MPEG2 Program.  Sometimes Encore has a problem with the asset sync and sometimes it does not.  (I am guessing about 20% of my assets end up with a problem).  The same asset if brought into TMP or brought back into Womble does not have any sync issue.  If brought into Premiere Pro CS5 it will exhibit the same behavior as Encore- If Encore has a sync problem, so will Premiere Pro.  So to get around this I then have to go back to the original womble file and break it up into smaller pieces, at every edit point I cut and export the smaller file just after the end of the transition I applied.  With a 6 hour project I may end up with dozens of small files to get around this problem- not very efficient.
    Any ideas how to fix this or why Encore is so buggy?  Would moving the original assets around in Womble- example taking something that was at the end of the timeline and then moving it to the beginning cause these issues for Encore?   Or is there some other cause?
    Encore CS5
    Premiere Pro CS5
    Windows 7 64 BIT
    Quad core
    2.4 GHZ clock speed
    6GB memory
    150 GB free space on drive
    NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500 card

    I've used VideoReDo in the past, which I believe has some similar strategies to Womble.  I found when I tested streams, that there were often problems in the source streams, and that the fix was not 100 percent.
    You may also find such files that are not 100 percent the same length video to audio.
    In any event, the possibility other than Encore being buggy is that the files you are bringing in have problems when Encore tries to validate them.  I'm not saying Encore doesn't have its problems, but clean mpeg files do not have sync issues ordinarily.
    For some scenarios, I like your workflow (edit mpeg files in a frame accurate mpeg editor that is not retranscoding the whole file), but the results are often not consistent.
    You don't say, and I would certainly look at, the nature of the audio stream you are using.  I can not tell you what the problems are, but some streams just do not edit well, even though they may play back okay in some players, but still have issues in Encore and/or Premiere.

  • Premiere Pro CC - error on export through media encoder.

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Premiere pro CC.  Everytime I try to export through media encoder the exports errors right at the end of the render.
    It keeps prompting . Error - Disk Full.  Thng is that I have 339 gig Available on the destination drive.
    - I Cleared the disk cash.
    - all the footage is Canon 5d Mk3 footage 1920x1080
    - I've tried rendering H264 and mpeg2 footage .... It all errors at 99% stage
    screen shot....
    - adobe ... please help,
    Duncan.

    OK, So to be more specific it's hanging when I send it to Media Encoder Queue. I was just able to just do a direct export.
    I found the article on permissions and that was not the issue.
    I've made no changes to hardware and have done three projects with the same codecs, type footage, duration (1 hour range) with no problems.

  • Frame Skip on MPEG2-DVD Export with 24fps source file to 23.976

    I'm trying to solve an issue that I've been having for the past week on a DVD I'm hoping to get to the factory for replication by New Years.
    My source file is a TRUE 24.00fps 1080p Quicktime Uncompressed (it was shot on film, and originally released on film...that's why it's true 24 instead of 23.976)
    I put it in a 720x480 24fps sequence in Premiere CS5, and exported as an MPEG2-DVD for my upcoming DVD.  I used the following settings:
    Quality 5
    Frame Rate: 23.976
    Field Order: Progressive
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
    Render At Maximum Depth
    VBR 1-Pass
    Min: 2.8
    Target: 6
    Max: 9
    GOP Settings:
    M Frames: 3
    N Frames: 12
    The resulting DVD always seems fine when I'm playing it, the motion and field order look great.  But in the exact same scene with a heavy-motion steadicam shot through a hallway, there always seems to be a frame skipping.  An entire frame that just goes missing for no apparent reason.  It is not a consistent frame....it changes every time I encode, but it is always within 2 or 3 seconds of the same place in the movie.  The wierd part is the movie doesn't seem to fall out of sync....this frame just disappears.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  This is driving me up a wall!!!!

  • Premiere Pro CC not queuing exports into Media Encoder CC

    I try to make this simple...
    standard export from PP CC to ME CC
    File -> export -> media, then hit queue.
    Media encoder opens and just sits there. Left it for hours to see if anything would ever happen, and nothing ever did.
    I've restarted the programs and machine dozens of times and that does nothing.
    I can still export from PP CC.
    I have no CS6 products left on my box.
    I also tried to open the project from Media Encoder and load the sequence that way with no luck.

    I had this exact same problem, and I figured out the solution in my case.  I know the original problem report is ancient, but there are recent replies, so I am adding my solution here.  I spent untold hours figuring this out, so hopefully this will save someone else some time.
    There can be other causes to this problem, I'm sure.  I'm just telling you about what fixed this problem for me.
    Just to clarify, here is the symptom: Running Windows 8.1.  Standard export from Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 to Media Encoder CC 2014.2, using File -> Export -> click Queue.  Media Encoder opens and just sits there.  Premiere Pro is hung and has to be forcibly terminated.
    I spent countless hours on this.  I thought I had messed up my computer's configuration somehow, so (believe it or not) I re-installed Windows on a freshly formatted hard disk, re-installed Creative Suite, same problem.  (I can't believe I wasted all that time; I feel like a dummy.)
    I finally narrowed it down to a very simple test case with a very tiny one-clip sequence that is less than one second long.  Same problem.
    It turned out to be a problem in the Premiere Pro project file itself.  I suspect that a small file corruption somehow snuck into the project file, that was completely invisible.  In that clip in my project, if I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem with exporting to Media Encoder went away.  If I then re-added the very same "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem was still gone.  It must be some small corruption in the ".prproj" file that went away when I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect and re-added it again.
    NOTE: I DON'T think that there is some kind of bug with the "Vocal Enhancer" effect.  I don't think this problem has anything to do with "Vocal Enhancer" per se.  It is just some kind of small generic corruption in the project file.  When Premiere Pro tries to export that sequence to Media Encoder, the problem occurs.  It was just a coincidence in my case that removing and re-adding the "Vocal Enhancer" effect made the problem go away.
    BOTTOM LINE: If you find that you have this bug where Premiere Pro hangs when exporting to the Media Encoder queue, try the following: Create a brand new project with a single clip in it, and export it to the Media Encoder queue.  If that works, you know that it is not a problem with Premiere Pro in general; it's a problem in your specific project file.  Once you've made this determination, make a copy of your original project file, and remove clips from the project until the problem goes away.  Keep narrowing it down until you find the clip(s) that are the issue.  Then, try removing and re-adding any effects on those clips, or even removing and re-adding the clips themselves, to fix the problem.  Eventually, by removing and re-adding a specific effect or clip to your project, the problem will vanish (hopefully).  It's just a matter of narrowing down which half of your project the problem occurs in, then which half of that half, etc., until you have it narrowed down to one clip or group of clips that need to be removed and re-added.
    Having said all this, it is a bug that ideally should be fixed so someone else doesn't spend untold hours trying to figure out the problem.  To that end, I create a tiny ZIP file that just has project file and the single media clip needed to reproduce the problem, along with a small description "READ ME.txt" file that explains the very simple steps to reproduce the problem.  I have submitted this as a bug report to Adobe using their official online bug report form at www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform along with a link to the ZIP file so they can download and reproduce the problem.
    If anyone else is curious about reproducing this same bug, you can also download the small ZIP file if you want to.  I guarantee it doesn't have any viruses or anything - it's just two small files to reproduce the problem.  To download the ZIP file containing that project file, media file, and "READ ME.txt" file, you can get it at www.forgaard.com/files/PremiereProBug.zip.
    I hope this saves someone some time.  This one sucked up a zillion hours of me chasing apparitions.
    I was having a problem with exporting a sequence to AME.  PPro would freeze and I would have to force the program to close.  This was on a project where I was just running out a bunch of interview clips for the director to look at.  One of them had a audio effect (DeHummer) on it, and it was the one that was giving me troubles.  I selected the audio and right clicked then "Render and Replace" then it would export to AME with no issue.  Thank you for your well written response to this thread.  While it may not have fixed the OP's issue, it did help with mine....
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Pro 2.0 Render Farm Issues

    Hi, 
    I have a desktop and a laptop connected to each other using cat5 cable and a Linksys router. Each has a copy of Premiere Pro 2.0 and  FrameServer. I have a test movie that I would like to render on the farm. I exported the movie from my desktop to FrameServer. I then connected to the desktop from the laptop and began to receive the movie. But I can't render it on my desktop. I tried to connect to 127.0.0.1 using the FrameServer client, and it says that it's connected to two clients, but no frames are served to the desktop -- only the laptop. On another note, whenever I switch windows the rendering stops completely. There aren't any error messages and the program continues to run. It just says that there are zero frames being served. Here are my specs:
    Desktop
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    AMD Athlon 7750 dual core, 2.7 GHz
    4 GB RAM
    ASUS EAH4670
    Laptop
    Windows Vista Business SP2
    Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.5 GHz
    4 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 3400
    If it's a FrameServer issue, I'd be happy to try another program. I have Autodesk Maya and Combustion. Would their copy of Mental Ray or Backburner work with Premiere?
    Thanks for any help,
    Richard

    I share files with the Vista laptop. They start to transfer frames in this case, but the transfer stops if I try to do something else on the desktop. I'm trying to connect to my own desktop, as well, to use it to render. But it won't transfer frames to itself, even though it says that it's connected to the local host.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 crashes when exporting to Encore CS3

    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down.  We will attempt to save your current project."
    That is the error message.  I am editing an AVCHD project in which I already converted as an .mpg prior to importing into Premiere (since CS3 does not import AVCHD natively).  This is the first time I am doing this workflow, as a client has given me AVCHD files to work with.  The project RT is 1 hr 2 min.  I need to create a DVD and Blu-ray of this project.

    I tried:
    Exporting to Encore
    ~Tried various settings for DVD.  NTSC Progressive Widescreen High Quality, Medium, etc.
    ~Tried the preset for exporting Blu-ray to Encore.
    ~Created a new sequence with about 7 min of the project to see if it was a corrupt file; same results.
    Using Adobe Media Encoder
    ~Used various presets and custom settings with the same result [error message; Premiere "stops working" and then crashes]
    ~Created a new sequence with about 7 min of the project to see if it was a corrupt file; same results.
    I observed the Windows Task Manager when Premiere is opened and then when it crashes.  The RAM is at 1.12GB before the project is opened, goes up to 2.17GB when it is opened, and remains about the same when it crashes.  The CPU Usage is about 4-10% before the project is opened, spikes dramatically (+/- 10-80%) when Premiere is opened as well when it crashes.
    I appreciate any and all help.  Thank you to everybody in advance who will contribute a solution to my problem!

  • New Mac Pro / Premiere Pro CC / Open CL - Known issue??

    Hi all
    I've been using Premiere Pro CC on a new Mac Pro since it was delivered in January.  After some initial teething issues and system crashes everything was running VERY nicely until the last update (build 33) but since then I have been encountering all kinds of issues.
    PP is now constantly freezing and crashing not only the software itself but the entire system requiring a reboot.  Whenever I need to render I get all kinds of weird and wonderful glitches in the images and I've had to turn off GPU accel through Open CL just to get the system workable again.
    So my question - are these known issues with build 33 or is something else going on??
    Another issue unrelated to Open CL (i think) is that XML import / export now appears to be bugged to the point of being unusable.  Very very frustrating!

    Hi simonspear,
    Please check the forum discussion which states the same issue. Hope it helps.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 fails to export to Media Encoder CS5

    Hello all,
    I'm working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Version 5.0.3 on two 64 bit Windows 7 computer systems (laptop and desktop). On my laptop everything works fine and has for some time. We recently installed CS5 on this desktop (new computer). Using the same settings that I use on my laptop, I can encode video by going to File->Export->Media and selecting Export. However, if I chose to Queue the media into Adobe Media Encoder version 5.0.1 it fails to work. Media Encoder opens properly, and the progress bar for exporting the media goes to 100% and disappears like it should. At that point no file appears in the queue. Any help as to what is happening? I'm not receving any error messages that could give me a hint...
    Thanks!

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for the response. Due to the intermittent nature of this problem I wanted to test more thorougly and can confirm that the files are PCM at 44.1Khz. The error message is, "The file format is not supported", and IIRC the files opened fine in Flash (which will be explained later). Audacity successfully opens the files.
    I have resolved the issue and discovered exactly where the 'fault' lies.
    Adobe determines the file type by it's filename - rather than using methods in Cocoa library or by looking at the RIFF header. My files are titled, "yyyy.mm.ddName" (Reason/Record does not automatically add the extension in this case), however some files were titled "yyyy-mm-ddName.aif". The former (with periods) would result in the filename extension being truncated from the file's name, but the file 'Kind' is still identified as an "Aif C Audio".
    On OSX, any file with an unknown extension should also have it's file type checked using the Cocoa Library since the OS does keep record of the file type that can (and should) be used by applications.
    A fix to this in the code is that under OSX, the Cocoa Library file methods should also consult the file type - given that many programs on OSX may happily save without explicitly using an extension in the file name.\
    Flash (which didn't yield this problem) may have additional code to ascertain the filetype by seeing if it recognizes the data (given that Flash interracts with streammed data that would not have a file extension).

    Hi Everyone, In CS3 I used to package a document and it would work perfectly, I'd have a folder with all links in, all fonts in and the .indd file. I could then archive the job and everyone was happy. I have recently upgraded to CS4, and went to pack
