Premiere Pro not Exporting to Adobe Media Encoder

Never had this problem before on a Mac. Now using a Windows 7 Machine.
Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630 v3 @2.40 (2 processors)
64 GB Ram
Nividia Quadro K4200 v. 2.1.2
Trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence to Media Encoder for encoding. Nothing pops up in AME. And if I try to add the sequence from within AME, doesn't work either. Exporting directly from Premiere DOES work though. Any ideas?

This was my first video in Premiere Pro CS4.

Premiere Pro CS4 Export fails with Media Encoder CS4 "Encoding Failed"," Could Not Read From Source.

There has never been a history of Adobe CS3 installation on the brand new MAC Pro I am using prior to installing Master Collection CS4, despite other posts claiming that chief cause of this issue is a previous CS3, Beta or trial installations of previous versions. I simply had a straightforward installation of CS4 and have had trouble since day 1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Master CS4 three times, two times with the action script cleaner for CS4. I tried changing Adobe Cache folder locations to alternative drives. I ran shift start many times to correct any inconsistencies and corrected for permissions using disk utilities repeatedly. All updates have been installed and I am still getting the same error when exporting my timeline to Media Encoder CS4, be it a large High Definition project or a small one consisting of few stills.
No matter what presets I chose, the job appears as one of the items in the render qeuee of Media Encoder CS4 and sits there with the status WAITING until i hit Start Queue. When I do, it still says WAITING under Status and at the bottom corner of the window it reads : Loading "project name.prproj" and after an average of about 6 minutes, a yellow caution sign appears. No render whatsoever takes place. When I click on the yellow caution sign, it reads a log of all errors in connection with each job, including the ones that have gone before it. Here is one:

Please any gurus out there know how to troubleshoot this damn thing on Mac, I really appreciate it. I have not yet encountered any posts of Mac owners with no previous CS3 installation having this issue. I am in the middle of 3 projects with tight deadlines and need your urgent help. THANK YOU!

Hello There,
I resolved the issue through a simple process of elimination. So simple in fact I wonder how I missed it. Since there has been no history of prior CS3 installation on this machine and every conceivable trick was applied to resolve the problem (refer to my original post earlier in the thread) ending in frustration, the problem had to reside in a factor or series of factors that were only present in this machine. Of the two remaining causes different in compare to other machines, I had to look into the possibility of any hardware and/or software conflicts. After all, this very same installation works perfectly fine on my colleague's Apple Macbook Pro and several Windows machines.
It turns out that I had installed Pro Tools on this machine that comes with all kinds of optional plug-ins in the so called ignition pack. One of these optional plug-ins is called IZOTOPE (three varieties include Spectron, Trash and another one that escapes my mind). They were all lite version licenses that would automatically pop up on their own when you would start a program where they had been residing. One such program where an association existed was indeed the Premiere. An annoying dialogue box directing you to buy the full version when you would start the premiere would refuse to go away. Sometimes it would even start on its own culminating in a a permanent dialogue box.
The cause of the problem was right before my eyes and I had overlooked it. Once uninstalled using IZOTOPE clean uninstaller on step 4, the problem was resolved. Projects are now loading very fast into the AME and encoding begins in earnest. I have never had any issues ever since.
Long story short, if you have any plug-ins specially the ones that are loading upon the start of any program or the ones that reside inside the premiere or the ones that start on their own independently, they could be one of the highly probable causes of this error. I have seen other similar posts complaining of plug in folders inside premiere that needed to be moved to resolve the issue for instance the ones that needed to be moved to AE folders. If you are a plug-in admirer, I would suggest to look into them seriously.
On the side note, many combination and causes may lead to the same error. I am not claiming that this is the solution for everyone.
It must also be noted that I applied the trick of creating a shortcut of Premiere (and naming it exactly as such) and dropped it into the Adobe Dynamic LInk folder (even though this was suggested for windows)and have changed the adobe Cache locations to an alternative folder on a separate drive. I haven't been able to establish conclusively if the latter steps are also essential in fixing the error on MAC but I can confirm that since the latter steps were taken before the uninstalling of Izotope plug-ins and i still had issues, probably uninstalling those plug ins or finding a way to move them to a place where they don't interfere (if you absolutely need to keep them) is the one essential step that solved the problem.
Hope this helps.

Problems to Export to Adobe Media Encoder!

Hi, I´ve a problem to export to Adobe Media Encoder!
When in Premiere Pro CS4, I click in Files - Export - Media.. it shows a display saying: "An Adobe Media Encoder update s available for this version of Premiere Pro.."
But I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4 to 4.21 and Media Encoder to 420! Both are installed!
And the display message s showed yet! So I cant send the project into Media Encoder by click, just if i open Media Encoder..
How do I solve this?
Because before I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4, I´didnt have this boring message..
Thanks for your help!
Gustavo

Gustavo,
Though you have updated, it appears that the updater still thinks that you have not.
The first thing that I would do is follow the suggestion in the message. An alternative would be to close PrPro, and open Bridge, then choose Help>Update from there. Not sure why updating from Bridge seems to do things better, but it does for many.
This should do one of two things: actually do the update (maybe it only was applied partially? and clear the updater notification. I have had similar with Acrobat Pro, where it took three attempts to get the update to both complete and then to clear the notification messages.
Now, when I go to update from Adobe, I first shut off my AV, pop-up blockers and spysweeper programs. I trust Adobe.com, so do not want anything getting in the way. One more thing to do, prior to updating is to make sure that you have the very latest Adobe Flash Player installed. More and more, Adobe's installers rely on Flash Player.
That is all that I can think of now, other than Good Luck!

Just how hard it is to export using Adobe Media Encoder ?

For those who have CS4 already, just how difficult is it to export
to Adobe Media Encoder ?
Right now it's very simple, you make up your work area for example, and export.
So with CS4, I must do what exactly to do this ?
Do I have to save the project with the work area selected, exit, now open Adobe Media Encoder and now select "open project" and now load this up and then export ?
Please tell me it ain't so.
I'd like to hear the steps to do this. I have to be honest, what once was an exciting time, has turned into a disappointing time now, reading all the things Adobe had changed ( for no good reason ). I just don't understand sometimes why they do things. I think they should get more input from poeple that use their products on a daily basis, so they know what they should touch, and what not to touch.
I'm actually not looking forward to upgrading now, even though I will, because of a few things that look good in the new version.
Dave.

It ain't so.
The workflow remains pretty much the same until you finally click the OK button. At that point the AME will open up and you can choose to start the queue immediately or switch back to PPro and do several more exports before starting the queue.
Read all about exporting
from the horse's mouth. ;)
You will also find several
CS4 tutorials that will show you how it's done.
Cheers

Adobe Premiere Pro Won't Export To Adobe Media Encoder?

I Work for a news company and we use Adobe for aeverything we need. But when we take a little break from doing videos while we where moving to a new office space, and suddenly we start again and It decided not to export to the Adobe Media Encoder. Usually it was a 5 second process and now it does not work at all. We have adobe premiere pro cs5.5 from the CC (We are currently not planning on upgrading to CS6 anytime soon.) We have no plugins for it and it works for everything else. When I use the Exporter it Exports in in too low of a quality for use. Help? If you need I work at better-community-news.com, Sooolutions (Seprate buisness same owner.) Glad Studios, (also same owner...all the places I work are the same guy), X.L.N.T Marketing and thats about it. Its a team of 3 guys and we would appricate any help! Thanks!

thanks nobody because nobody helped me solve this delima
You do know that this is a user to user forum, not an official Adobe support site?
Which means that there is NOT a full time group of people just waiting to answer questions
Don't you think that complaining about nobody answering in less than 2 hours is a little unreasonable?

Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

Hi.
I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character. Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps. I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project. (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context. It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps? I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
Thanks

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels). I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio. i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think). But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
Thanks

Exporting in Adobe Media Encoder fails in CS4 after CS3 is removed.

There's an issue with Adobe Media Encoder in CS4 where encoding will fail after CS3 is uninstalled.
If you never had CS3 installed on your machine - no problem.
If you never had CS3 and CS4 installed at the same time - no problem.
If you had CS3 and CS4 installed concurrently, then uninstalled CS3 - Houston, you have a problem.
You will need to uninstall CS4 and then reinstall CS4.
The error message is:
Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
One more thing I forgot to mention, this is a Win-only issue.

>Does anyone understand this?
Simple:
1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
2. Open a
second Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "Premiere.exe"
3. Arrange the windows side by side.
4. Right-click on "Premiere.exe" and drag to the first explorer window, targeting between the files so as to avoid any specific file.
5. Release the right-hand mouse button.
6. Select "create shortcut here" from the pop-up menu.

Premiere stops when opening tab "Adobe Media Encoder"

Working with Premiere CS3
When I want to export movie to flv, I open File-> Export-> Adobe Media Encoder
Then I have to select, but since a few days when I click the Adobe Media Encoder button, Premiere stops and is out of service.
When I start up Premiere again, it repeats.
Yesterday I've downloaded Quicktime (of a CD which needed it for playing).
But after uninstall Quicktime, the problem is still there.
So I've set back the date to Wednesday (two days ago) but nothing will help.
How can I solve this problem?

More information would be very useful. This ARTICLE will give you tips on what types of info are needed, and how to gather some of it.
Good luck,

Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 loses sound.

So... I've been having a hell of a time with the new Adobe creative cloud when it comes to video editing. The drop of .flv format, unable to straight export .H24 formats from after effects, it's a total nightmare. Here's the issue, to export as a .H24, you now have to use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014. The biggest issue, however, is at the end of the export, when you open the video, half of the video's sound is mysteriously GONE. Just gone. If you go back to after effects, look at the file and the audio, the wave forms are there. There's nothing that would make it lose sound. Audio is selected on export... I have no idea what's up. Editing videos for youtube was a snap in previous versions of After Effects, now It's becoming almost impossible.

Exporting from Premiere Pro. Takes forever for Media Encoder to start.

When I exported a timeline out of PrePro to the Media Encoder and press "Start Queue" it took it over 19 minutes before it began rendering. Is this normal?

Morning all
Fair point John.
Webshark2000, the orignal poster of this topic, has got Vista 64bit, so he can make use of the more memory.
I understand that memory use for CS4 is:
Premiere - 2gigs
Encore - 2gigs
Media Encoder - 1 gig
+ Windows and other apps you may have running!
So if you don't have around 5 - 6 gigs ram, Windows will be doing ALOT of paging! Thus slowing the system and render times down.
64Bit and tons of ram - is the way forward. It rocks with it!
Hope that helps - Shaun

Exporting through Adobe Media Encoder as MPEG2-DVD but quality is pixelated. Help!

So, I am exporting my project through media encoder - MPEG2-DVD, Quality 5, NTSC, 29.97 drop frame, Progressive, Standard 4:3, VBR 2 Pass, 7.4697, 7.4697, 8.0382, Frames 3 & 15. I have done this process many, many times. Today, I am getting this pixelated junk when I pull the exported file into Encore. It looks smooth in the window prior to export but then it comes out like this. I am using footage that I captured into Premiere Pro and animation created in After Effects. Can anyone help?

Premiere Pro Unresponsive after queuing to Media Encoder

In the current version of Premiere Pro (8.1.0), every time a send a sequence to the Media Encoder, Premiere becomes unresponsive. But not in a spinning beach ball of death fashion. It's like the UI is non responsive, with some very strange behavior. For example, when I try to quit and save, the save dialogue just sits there until I have to force quit the application.
Any thoughts? This is extremely annoying!

Exact same problem here, plus exports are slow
