Premiere Pro CS5.5 stuck at exporting

I'm having difficulties exporting edited videos lately.
My only footage comes from either Canon 5D2, Canong G12 or Sony Nex-5N. I'm currently working on a wedding with all the shots from 5D2.
Lately I noticed it takes a lot of time for Premiere to export a video. I record it in 1080 25p with the 5D2, import the footage as DSLR 1080 25p and usually export as a 720P 25P file. The size of files I'm usually exporting is around 2-4 minutes and rarely over 200mb (never 300).
It used to export such videos in let's say 5-8 minutes, now it takes (looking at the estimated time left) about 30-45.
About a week ago it hanged for the first time while I was playing with GoPro footage for the first time and it was the only really big file (2,5 hours long, 8gb for export). It got stuck at 91%. I left it overnight and in the morning it was done.
Yesterday I was working on a wedding video. There was lots of Magic Bullet looks used on the clips. I tried to export it send it to my coworker for a review of the color correction and it got stuck at 21minutes left (out of about 40 which is really a high number for a 3minute 200mb file if you ask me) and 27%. I again left it overnight thinking it will export overnight. Well, it didn't.
In the morning it was still stuck at 21:06 to go and 27% done. Since I had to leave for work I'll try to restart my computer when I get home, kill all the programs that I don't need and just try to export it again. If that doesn't help I think I need to format the whole system.. :/
The PC I use (if you need this information):
Win7
i7-2600K
16GB Ram
570GTX
Checking the task manager while it was stuck yesterday showed me that Premiere was using around 5,5gb of RAM a the moment (if this information helps in anyway).
The footage is on the same harddrive as the export file goes. It's a sepparate hard drive from the system drive.
I only run google chrome and winamp while editing in Premiere, everything else is more or less turned off.
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
Why do I have this kind of problem?

I've seen Looks occasionally get 'stuck', though more so with ATI cards than nVidia.  If you've only tried it the once, then try a couple more times.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.  Media Encoder .dll interace message.

    Out of the blue, when I am working in Premiere Pro CS5 and want to export media, I get an error message about "this software could not find the required software interface .dll.  Reinstall the software and try again..."
    This just started several days ago.  I have changed nothing.  I did do as asked and reloaded the Adobe Premiere program and that worked for about a day.  And now it is back.  Also, my Premiere CS5 is starting to crash fairly often where as before it never did.  I haven't changed anything on the computer.  No new software added.  No windows 7 updates of any kind.
    Any ideas on what to do.

    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.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 - Media Encoder Crash when Exporting to MPEG-2

    System:
    Core i7 920 @ 3.8 Ghz
    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
    12GB DDR3 1600
    External Sound Card - M-Audio ProFire 610

    Project Drives - 3x300 WD Raptor - Raid 0
    Video Card - Geforce GTX 285 1GB
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 continually crashes or hangs every time I try to export to MPEG-2.  I can successfully render to every other codec without any issue, but need the MPEG-2 for an Adobe Encore Project.
    The project is approximately 38 minutes long and contains AVI and MP4 files, all of which were ripped from DVDs as I'm producing a reel for a producer who provided his DVDs for me to rip and use as content.
    Possible issues:
    1.   Currently have Magic DVD Ripper and DVD Fab installed (codec conflicts?)
    2.   Originally ripped the DVDs at 630x360 (my mistake - hadn't really worked with a DVD ripper before and was the largest avi pre-set) and I'm exporting to MPEG-2 standard 720x480 Widescreen)  (I know I should've just ripped them as the original lossless MPEG-2 files - I'm a tool)
    2.   Blank space in the timline (there are a number of these)
    I would like to get some input before I try to export to MPEG-2 again as I blew a capacitor on my old mother board (Gigabyte x58-ud3r) after I had gotten my computer to start rendering a MPEG-2 after about 50 tries to export/launch media encoder set on MPEG-2.  I just installed my new motherboard to replace it.  Clearly MPEG-2 taxes the system more so than any other codec (from what I can tell).  However, I thought the issue with the blank space/no media in the timeline was fixed with CS5.  I saw in a previous post that someone thought that ffdshow was conflicting with AME.  I don't have ffdshow, but I believe that's a ripper program like Magic and DVDFab.

    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.

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS5 process audio source before exporting clip in AME CS5?

    Hello everyone, my first post here. I am currently trying out the trial CS5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro. I've been using Premiere Pro CS5 to put together family videos. I select a certain portion of a sequence and queue it for export in Media Encoder CS5 in the format H.264 for iPod with video and audio.
    Now in AME I have a queue list of about 5 clips from the sequence. But when I hit the Start Queue button, the bottom left of the progress bar states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]"  for all 5 clips from the sequence then creates the first output file.
    Then it moves to encode the second and again states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]"  for all 5 clips of mt sequence then spits out only the second output file.
    This continues for the remaining 3 output files. The total sequence length is ~32 minutes with transitions and it takes about 35 minutes to export which is all consumed by the process audio source of the 5 clips in my sequence for 5 separate times.
    Is there a certain reason why Media Encoder or Premiere Pro does this process of audio source? Is this process necessary or needed? I experimented with choosing different output formats but the results are the same. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Now that's pretty good follow-up to your first post, and quickly too! Nice detective work.
    As you have found, there is basically a Render/Replace operation going on in PrPro, to get the material in the correct form for AME.
    Thank you for reporting, as it saved me, and others, from basically saying what you said.
    Good luck, and sorry that you beat us to the punch.

  • Poor quality on movie after exporting it from Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hi!
    As a part of my bachelor thesis in industrial engineering, I am making an animation that shows how different types of water turbines work.
    The animation it self,  I've created in a program called Autodesk Inventor. From Inventor I get an uncompressed video. This video is usually not possible to open directly, but when I convert this with FreeMake video converter, it works
    Conversion in FreeMake:
    From:
    RAWVIDEO
    1280 * 720
    16:9
    663,554 Kbps
    30 fps
    To:
    . Avi, mpeg4
    1280 * 720
    16:9
    3283Kbps
    30fps
    The video looks great now, but now when i have finished editing the film in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and exported it, the lines are very blurred and bad. I've attached a picture showing what I mean. I have tried many different settings in Premiere, but i cannot get it any better.
    The picture on the left is after exporting, the image on the right is after converting it in FreeMake Video Converter.
    Have tried with the flicker removal, but with poor results.
    Does anyone have any tips on what I can do?

    Thank you for the warm welcome
    Yes, the video from autodesk is uncompressed avi. These files are impossible to import in Premiere, and i cant open them in either VLC or WMPlayer.
    After a conversion with FreeMake VideoConverter they are possible to import, and they look very good in VLC.
    My Sequence settings are:
    Editing mode: HDV 720p
    Timebase: 29.97 frames/second
    Video:
    Frame size: 1280*720
    Pixel Aspect ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: No fields (progressive scan)
    Display format: 30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
    Audio:
    Sample Rate 48000Hz
    Display format: Audio samples
    Video Previews
    Preview File format: I-Frame Only MPEG
    Codec: MPEG I-frame
    With: 1280
    Height: 720
    Maximum bit depth and Maximum render quality is checked.
    I have tried with a variety of export settings, but my current ones are:
    Output:
    Format: Quicktime
    Video Codec: H.264
    1280*720, 29,97 fps, Progressive, Quality 100, 48000Hz, Stereo, H.264
    Aspect: Square Pixels
    Render at maximum depth
    Depth: 24bit
    Use maximum render quality.
    One thing I find quite strange is that i have to short clips at the beginning, which both seem fine.

  • Cannot export to Quicktime in Premiere Pro CS5

    This problem has been addressed before, but the solution, to simplify the name of the file, is not working for me.
    I am not able to export to Quicktime.  The error is "Unable to create or open an output file."
    Here are my parameters:
    Premiere Pro CS5, recently updated.
    Windows 7, recently updated.
    PC HP Pavilion desktop
    Source footage is HDV in an mp4 codec via the CS5 timeline.
    I have disabled my anti-virus software (ESET).
    I have no other video-related programs running.
    Clips appear in the Export screen (for preview) perfectly.
    Exporting to any other codec or container, including H.264 (an Apple product) works fine.  To make things
    a little more interesting, the last time I tried to export to Quicktime (a year ago) I was using PPr CS4.  Export
    to Quicktime worked perfectly well.  Now it does not.  Now when I activate "start queue" in Media
    Encoder for CS4, the green check mark appears without the clips being encoded at all. Once again, CS4
    encodes to other codecs perfectly well.
    Sounds like in the intervening year I may have downloaded some interfering software, but like editors
    everywhere, I download a lot of these things.  Finding the culprit would take days (weeks!). Are there
    any prime suspects? 
    Alternatively, are there any other ways to export in high quality to let Mac users easily access PC
    generated footage?

    Mac users are the ones who choose to use an OS which creates this type of compatibility issue.  Honestly, I'd just create an AVI and let them solve the problem. 
    Your clients must really appreciate you as a great "solution providor" Jim!

  • 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....?

  • Options for exporting a project in Adobe premiere Pro CS5.5

    When Exporting a project from Adobe premiere Pro CS5.5 I use the format of Windows Media file and Preset HDTV 1080P 30 HighQuality. At the bottom of the window there are some options that say "Use Maximum Render Quality" And "Use Frame Blending". I used these two options on my first video I exported but I want to know for the future what both of these options do exactly to my film and if they could adversely effect things like lighting and the frame rate of a clip or anything?

    Max Render Quality does what is says: gives better picture quality, but will lengthen the export process.
    Frame Blending you check when output framerate differs from timeline framerate.

  • Exporting to AVI from Premiere Pro CS5.0.2 from DVCPRO HD sequence giving only 1 frame?

    When trying to export from a P2 1080i 60hz DVCOPRO HD timeline to an AVI, whether going to queue or direct export using AME, it is going through its encoding steps but I am ending up with only one frame of let's say a 2 minute sequence. I've used Uncompressed AVI preset as well as Microsoft AVI preset - both going to 720 x 480.
    Happens with and without using Maximum Render Quality setting.  Happens whether I have MPE on or off.
    Couldn't find anything in the forum....have the Premiere Pro CS5.0.2 update.  Help.

    Unfortunately, the poster cannot award themselves "points." Otherwise, Harm and I would have over 50,000!
    Glad that you got the answer and the fix.

  • PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 Gamma problem while exporting project to mjpeg A or B

    Dear Sir,
    I'm in a big ****. I've directed and edited 1h documentary for Finnish television, also, the technical specs requested by the TV Channel is all production Broadcast masters must be encoded with Apple ProRES codec or MJPEG A or B.
    As i'm working on PC (win7), the ProRES codec doesn't exist on PC system, so i've done the export to MJPEG. The problem is i have a different gamma level when i watch the final export with Quicktime or VLC. Of course i can adjust the level in those players, but it doesnt effect the file. When i import the Qt file into a Premiere sequence, the gamma level is still **** and different from my original level i have from my timeline and preview window. If i export the project to H264 1920x1080p25, then the gamma is perfect with Qt, VLC and WinMedia player. But the TV station don't wanna work with H264. Deadline is on next monday, and i can't send a Qt MJPEG file with wrong gamma !!!Any chance to find a solution to fix it ??? After reading different forum, i can see this problem exist since many years and never been solved.
    What can i do ??
    Denis.

    Things is my prpject includ few effect plugins i bought, so what ever i could find a mac, not your i could export xml project to finalcut with plugins it dont have

    If it were me, I wouldn't encode to MJPEG.
    So as to encode to ProRes on Windows you can utilise any solution based on ffmpeg/ffmbc or better yet find a Mac with Final Cut or Compressor installed for delivering critical work.

  • Exporting FLV With Cue Points In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

    Hello
    I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 to export to a FLV file with flash cue points. I have managed to do this but I also want to export (separately) a list of all the time codes of the cue points in the clip. I see that you can save the cue points to an xml file but it doesn't come up with the time codes (well it does, but it is in milliseconds and amongst other things). Is there any way I can save a list of the time codes of the cue points on my FLV file, rather than having to manually type it out?
    Thanks,
    Rvnistelrooy

    I don't think there is any easy way to do this, but one thing I could suggest is to export the metadata as an xml side car and then use the text editor to extract the times.  I'm not sure this would work, but it's worth a try.
    Cheers,
    Dennis

  • 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).

  • Closed captioning with Premiere Pro CS5.5, exported to wmv/mp4

    My employer suddenly has a push to be ADA compliant, so all videos going forward need to have captioning, and would prefer to have it closed captioned. I've read that you can add captions with Encore and output them to disc, but since all of the videos are posted online, nothing is burned to disc so that doesn't help. I also know you can use scc or mcc files to add closed captions to a broadcast stream, but since these aren't for broadcast, that doesn't help either.
    All of this means is that I need to add closed captioning to online video only. What I'd like to know is this: Is there any way to add closed captioning to video that will be streamed online? Or, am I doomed to putting everything into lower thirds?
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5 (I also have AE CS5.5).
    Thanks

    As a broadcast engineer, I would suspect, and it would make sense that online video files would also be encoded with EIA-608 and EIA-708 set forth by the Electronic Industries Alliance and monitored by the FCC ( Broadcast Standard ). This makes sense to me as all existing video programs which already comply with the EIA-608 and 708 standards would then, automatically play closed captioning when encoded to a video file for playback.
    The FCC has recently required all online video to include Closed Captioning as per the Accessibility Act of 2010 ( FCC: MB Docket No. 11-154) Subpart 6 of this document appears to define that all devices which may playback video through the internet, must be able to support the CEA-708, or closed captioning for digital broadcast television. CEA-708 is a form of embedded data often referred to as metadata which is contained within the MPEG-2 stream.
    Not to get too technical about MPEG streams, but in essence, even though your end up with a single file, there are traditionally 3 elementary streams of data contained within. Each one has a PID, or Program Identifier number which identifies the Video Stream, Audio 1 stream and Audio 2 Stream. Additional elementary streams can be added such as a data stream containing Closed Captioning- or whatever like Dolby Digital. The PID allows a Demultiplexer to split the streams appropriately for playback.
    I would hope there is a program out there that would embed the scc or mcc file ( however they are produced )  possibly after you export the sequence to a file. One of my favoite and best kept secret long-term video websites out there is videohelp DOT com. there is a plethera of kewl software to do all weird things to video, maybe even add CC!
    All this still doesn't help us with Premiere Pro though...

  • 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

    thats way too vague of a question... best what?  quality? size? playback?
    best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

Maybe you are looking for
