Premiere Pro CC taking FOREVER to export

I'm on a mac (2013 imac and macbook pro, 24GB/16GB ram, etc) and Premiere Pro used to export just fine (~10 minutes for 3 minute 1080p video to h.264, everything pre-rendered) and now on both of my machines it seems like PP isn't able to use the rendered files EVEN when I select "use previews" because it takes 30-40 minutes to export now. As an aside, I have to render essentially every second of my timeline due to the nature of the footage & effects I'm using - my footage is image sequences of jpgs that are a weird size, the timeline is 1920x1080 though. Media Encoder isn't any faster, either. It doesn't matter whether I use software or CUDA accelerated export, either. They are all slow.
I'm getting no direct indication that there's an error - just that PP takes far too long to export. Unacceptably long. Rendering times are fine, so there's not a problem with my system there.
Thanks,
Henry

Hi minutephysics,
What is the codec for your rendered previews? What is your output codec? Are they the same?

Which effects are you using? Any effects with a lot of overhead like Neat? Can you post a screenshot of your export settings dialog box?
Thanks,

Re: Premiere Pro CC taking FOREVER to export

I'm having the same issues with super slow output on CC.
I had a speedgrade round-trip file that I brought back in PremPro CC with color grading applied. Output dialog box (Media Encoder CC) said it would take 60+ hours to output a 2 hour clip with ProRes (LT). So, thinking it must be speedgrade interface, I did a test with a very short and simplified piece and no speedgrade involved, only fast color corrector as filter. The 5 minutes took 1.5 hours to output as ProRes (LT).
Then I opened the same project in Premiere Pro CS6 the same 5 minutes - exactly the same in every way - took less than 10 minutes to output as ProRes (LT). There is definitely something wrong with CC...

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
thanks

Two questions:
1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?

Premiere Pro CS3 - Advice on file export size?

I recorded a 2 hour TV documentary onto a DVD-RW, and I ripped it using Any Video Converter. The ripped file is a 720x540 Xvid AVI, and it is 1.6GB. I then edited the programme down to 20 minutes in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. I then exported the 20 minute video to AVI, video compression MC_DVD, and the file is 4GB in size. Obviously it makes no sense that the 2hr video should be 1.6GB and the 20-minute video should be 4GB. Is there a way I can export this video (either using the Export option, or the Adobe Media Encoder, I don't mind which) to a reasonable file size, without losing video quality? Unfortunately the picture quality of the united rip isn't brilliant anyway, so I really don't want to lose any more picture quality, but there has to be a reasonable size that I can get the video down to.

It's actually not legal for you to be doing this, so it would be unethical for anyone here to help you do it.

Why is it taking forever to export a short video?

hi everyone,
currently pulling my hair out trying to export a 13 minute video i recently made. By choosing the option youtube simply took 24 hours or more to reach 6% of completion. After watching a youtube tutorial on the compressor i spent £35 on buying it in order to compress my video once i had exported it. The tutorial advised me to bounce my project off as a master file to import into compressor and upload the compressed version on to youtube. The master file option is also taking forever to export from FCPX. Please can someone tell me what im doing wrong,
Mitchell.

What are your system specs? Where do you store your projects and events (libraries, if you're on 10.1)?
What kind of media are you working with – the formats of both your video and audio clips? Does the project use a lot of photos?

Premiere Pro CC 2014 hangs on export

I opened a project that worked on the previous version and everything played fine in the 2014 update, rendering previews and smooth playback with no problems. When I go to export it hangs. The sequence is full of ProRes 4444 footage with the sequence settings and previews set to the same codec. I'm trying to export a ProRes 4444 master file.
What I've tried :
- Switching between CPU and GPU rendering
- Render previews and having "match sequence settings" and "use previews" checked
- Render directly without using previews
One thing to note is opening the same project in Premiere Pro CC ( not 2014 ) with the same settings exports without any problems. Glad I didn't uninstall.
System Specs :

I'm now getting inconsistent behavior. Exporting in-process is very slow, with a normally 1-2 min export taking 30min - 2 hours for both GPU and Software modes.
I tried unchecking Import Sequences Natively in AME and it stalled out using OpenCL. Tried again in AME with Software Only and it worked normally. Just for fun I tried again in AME with OpenCL and it worked. To test further I enabled Import Sequences Natively again in AME and it works normally for both GPU and Software Only modes. Going back to exporting in-process still doesn't work.
The original CC ( non 2014 ) release never had this problem, and CC 2014 didn't have this problem until the latest update. While this is still pretty broken, at least I can get an export if the stars align through AME.

How do I export on Media Encoder CC and play on Premiere Pro CC without affecting the export?

I can export on media encoder and play on Premiere at the same time if I save my project > Close premiere pro > open Media encoder > import premiere pro sequence > start export > and open my project on premiere again.
But I`m having some issues with the playback quality (sometimes it stop and the audio starts getting out of sync), and the export gets slow.
Is there anything I can do to export and play at the same time?
I need the full quality of preview.
Working with codecs XDCAM HD 422 and ProRes 422 on Mac Os X 10.7.5 (2 X 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) wiht 24GB 1066 DDR3 RAM
Hope u guys can help.

You can just queue up the export right from PP, start the encode and then go back to PP to continue working. No need to close anything.
Doing this will slow down the export process, as PP will steal whatever resources it needs to run, often pausing AME to do so.

Premiere Pro/Media Encoder fail when exporting something with AE linked?

Hey all, I do some video production work for a university, and we're running into some problems when trying to export all the videos from a particularly large course. We haven't run into this issue before so I'm hoping someone might have knowledge of it and can help me out.
Here's some background-
I'm trying to export videos, about 20 minutes each. Each video has an opening sequence and closing sequence that were created in After Effects and are Dynamic linked in the right spots on the timeline.
We're encoding with Vimeo HD 720p 29.97 settings.
Media Encoder gets through one pass seemingly just fine, and then a little after halfway through encoding it stops (doesn't crash, just stops encoding any further) and crashes when attempting to stop the queue.
It's a pain to export from After Effects and re drag in all the sequences, so our workflow keeps all exporting Premiere -> Media Encoder.
EDIT: Can't believe I forgot to mention this- works fine exporting directly from a timeline in Premiere, it's only when Media Encoder is used that issues arise- but it's unfeasible to export 30 videos from the timeline.
EDIT: Done some more testing over the course of the day. I can add After Effects files to a AME queue and encode them with the Vimeo settings and it makes it through both passes, correctly exporting the videos. It just doesn't work when those same compositions are exported as linked compositions in a Premiere Pro timeline.
Some things I've tried with no success:
Exporting the After Effects files separately does not work, it hangs even if only exporting the after effects segments.(20 seconds each).
I've turned off CUDA and done software only, still hangs.
I've tried dragging/adding from Media Encoder/any number of different workflows to get the sequences from Premiere to After Effects.
I've tried exporting with different settings: (e.g. non Vimeo HD 720p 29.97), still hangs (doesn't even start encoding, doesn't get halfway).
Any ideas?

I experienced this at one point. Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime. (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.) However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem. Search this board using quicktime as a search phase. The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions. I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

Adobe premiere pro cc crashes when i export to dvd

hi all
i recently bought mac pro and shifted to adobe premiere cc from fcp 7. i am editing a fairly complicated documentary project where i have to deal various footage like mxf, m2ts, mts, mp4, mov etc. these are the footage my director got from different assigned person. those people used various type of camera like sony fs100 & z7, p1(hdv), panasonic 102aen and 250, canon dslr mark 2, 3 and etc. i know they use various type of compression. i have also some archival footage from vhs which is converted to mpeg.
i have a blackmagic ultra studio 4k card. so i'm dumping all the footage into sequences where setting is 1920*1080p with blackmagic 8 bit yuv compression. i primarily logged all the footage without any problem. but recently while i was exporting all the footage on dvds, my premiere cc repeatedly crashing. i should mention that i don't have adobe media encoder cc.
it is a huge project with almost 4 tb footage. it was running so smoothly so far. but i don't know what's gone wrong 3/4 days back my project also crashed. anyway i recovered that project but can't not export anything from it. note that i exported lots of footage as dvd before.
can any one give suggestion what should be my best sequence setting and why it's crashing? my final target of output is 1920*1080p. thanks in advance.

Premiere Pro CC - Crash Pendant L'export

Bonjour,
J'ai un gros problème avec Premiere Pro CC. J'ai toutes les dernières mises à jour mais je ne peux pas exporter une séquence !
L'extraction audio marche très bien mais quand le programme commence à encoder le média, Premiere crash. C'est à chaque fois au tout début.
J'ai testé avec beaucoup de formats tels que H.264 et AVI mais ca ne marche toujours pas. Qu'est-ce que je pourrais faire pour résoudre mon problème ???
Merci pour vos réponses

Bonjour!
Premiere CC est-il à jour?
Quelles sont les specifications de la machine sur laquelle vous travaillez? Sur quel fichier source (de quelle caméra?) travaillez-vous? Faites vous un export depuis media encoder, ou directement depuis Premiere?

Adobe Premiere Pro CC Support for Importing / Exporting H.265 (HEVC) 4K Video

Hi there,
Does any know about how to export 4K content direct from premiere pro in the new H.265 HEVC codec in 4K resolution, or do you know of any third party software for Mac that can do this?
I am having a problem finding a solution and frankly am surprised that this isn't already included in Premiere Pro CC. Thanks for the help!
I ask because I am exporting VERY large 4K files (they are 1-2 hour long Nature Relaxation videos) and so naturally being able to export at the new H.265 would be a blessing!
Thanks for the help!

I'm having the exact same problem with my machine!!! I was so excited to run across your post / thread, just because I've dealt with this since December as well.
MBPr (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 / NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
Apple replaced the logic board in my machine in December after determining a bad GPU. Same exact screens and problems, glitches.. Sometimes getting kicked out of my account. When I log back in, it's just a matter of a few minutes before it locks up.
First I was thinking it was the CUDA driver.. Uninstalled it.. Still have the issues.. Apple pushed me to split my SSD and install a clean OS X install, new user.. reinstall apps.. Still have the same issues..
Went around this with Apple in February/March.. Was killing me with deadlines. Now, I'm back working on several large projects and for the past few weeks, the crashes and machine freeze ups are killing me. Got fed up and I'm back trying to seek help through Apple Executive Relations. I've spent countless hours trying to diagnose, working with support, visiting the local Apple store..
The kicker is that we have three of these exact machines in my team at work, all using the same Adobe CC apps/Premiere Pro.. Mine is the only one that is doing this. I will have graphic glitches when the machine wakes from sleep. I also have the screen changing color profiles -- you can see it shift (I have my machine color calibrated) from the default to the custom profile.
I would be happy to post a bunch of photos of the same graphic issues.. I have no solution at this point. Adobe, can you help us? I still believe it is a GPU issue and not software related.

Premiere Pro, Media Encoder Crashing When Exporting/Rendering

For the longest time if I ever tried to export or render a video longer than 5 minutes, my Premiere Pro or Media Encoder crashes. I don't know why but it is EXTREMELY irritating when attempting to make lengthened gaming videos. I have tried 15 different methods all online, to no avail. It always crashes around the 40% mark in Adobe Premiere and it isn't a corrupt project. I have literally tried everything to no avail and I finally decided I would turn here to ask for help. I reset the preferences, tried copying and pasting into a new sequence, tried reinstalling Premiere... the whole bit. My technical specifications are not the issue at hand I don't believe, but just in-case the list is provided below. Please make any response swift, my intent was to upload the video I have in Premiere by tonight!

What can I do to stop Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 from crashing when exporting?

Regardless of whether I have a new project file or an existing one, edits or no edits, whenever I click export, Premiere Pro simply crashes. Same for Media Encoder - can't even open that one. I have all of the latest CS6 updates installed, the computer is brand new as of two weeks ago - OSX 10.9.1, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. The only way I've been able to export is through a backdoor: I use the dynamic link in After Effects, then render out my sequences there. Help?
