Problem- Adobe Media Encoder Stopping Mid Queue

I was exporting my final movie, which was about 60 minutes. It was taking a long time to render when exporting to a quicktime file, which I expected, however, the Adobe Media Encoder stopped the rendering an hour later, only rendering half before shutting down. I am exporting it as a widescreen, NTCS DV Widescreen. Could have I screwed up the format and that is why it's failing to complete the exporting??? What can I do to solve this and have it complete the export. At the end of the report is says disk is full. But I know my hard drive could not be full.

FAT-32 is your problem. DO NOT FORMAT!!!!!
You want Convert. That is very, very different. Back in properties, look for the Volume Label of your drive. Copy down this label exactly like it appears. Capitalization is important. Get it right.
You will need to then use a CMD Prompt command to Convert.
To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
Open the Command Prompt window.
In the command prompt window, typeconvert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format.
Notes
To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.
Again - DO NOT FORMAT!
Good luck,

Adobe Media Encoder stopped working in this project, works in others

Adobe Media Encoder just stopped working in my current project (in PPRO CS3). I'd output several MPEG2-DVD and Windows Media Files. Then I went to make one more MPEG2-DVD file, and when I clicked OK in AME, nothing happened. It should open a window to select where I want to put the file, and a few more options. No crash, no freeze, no error messages..and no output.
None of the AME formats work (WMF, Quicktime, etc). But other exports do work. I made my MPEG2-DVD file using Export to Encore.
I opened another project I'm working on, and AME does work in that project.
Back to my current project, and it still doesn't work.
I've rebooted, and uninstalled-reinstalled PP CS3.
Anyone fixed this? Thanks!

After some more playing, I discovered that the other sequences in this project do still export using AME. So I made a new sequence, copied all the media from the problem sequence into the new one, and it exports OK. I lose fairly extensive Encore chapter marking, but that's a minor problem. No way to "cut and paste" chapter markers, I don't suppose?
For curiosity value, if I make a duplicate of the problem sequence, all the media in the duplicate sequence has a red bar (unrendered) except for the parts that have already been rendered, which have a green bar. This is straight transferred DVCam media and shouldn't need rendering. If I add some new video to the sequence, it gets a red bar too. Bizarre. Oh, and it won't export.
I tried a few other tricks with the original problem sequence: delete all media, and replace with one new short clip; delete the chapter markers; shorten the work area bar to just a few seconds and try to export "work area only"; turn off tracks; deselect either audio or video in AME... nothing worked to make this sequence export.
I also tried making a whole new project, and importing this one into it. Nothing changes - the problem sequence still wont' export, a copy of it leaves all media "unrendered..." exact same trouble as the original project. But it was while playing with this new project that I discovered that my other sequences did export, leading me back to the original project. That should have been the first or second thing I checked. Brain-dead Sunday.
Conclusion: something corrupt in the sequence, but darned if I can figure out what. Not the media. Not the chapter markers. There's code in the sequence itself, and I guess that must be it.
Enough time wated on this project. Thanks, all!

Adobe Media Encoder stops responding

I have Adobe CS4 master collection installed here and I've run into a serious problem trying to get it Adobe Media Encoder to do what it's meant to do...encode.
I export the project and in the initial export options window I can set everything up. I proceeed to Adobe media Encoder to finish the job and it opens and shows my video in the que, however, when I click to change the preset, or even click to start rendering, Adobe Media Encoder will simply hang forever. It just stops responding. It never used to do this.
I'm running an intel core2quad q8400 @2.66gHz
on fully updated windows 7 professional, 32 bit.
Nvidia geForce 8400 GS,
3.25 Gig useable RAM
It's not project-specific because i've tried it with another project and it does the same thing. Tried restarting, tried to reinstall Premiere pro and adobe media encoder, tried to reinstall the entire creative suite, tried the premiere-shortcut-in-the-dynamic-link-folder thing...I'm at wits end and I nearing deadline.
Anybody out there who might have conquered this problem under similiar circumstances? Please help...

When I was having this problem, I ended up having to search the entire
sequence for the problem area, a video or image that was causing the encoder
to fail. After narrowing it down to a certain section of the timeline, I
worked through elimination to find the problem video, removing one video,
image or image sequence at a time and encoding the problem area again....on
the two occasions I've had to do this, I found one corrupt video and one
large sequence of images that, which for some reason the encoder didn't
like...re-encoding the problem video and putting it back into the project
solved it for me.

Adobe Media Encoder stops

I have rendered out 330 frames as png files into a sequence that can loop. I brought the group of files into PPCS4 as a sequence and copy/pasted it 3 times on my timeline. I rendered it out a couple time last night and this morning as a WMV just fine. Now when I try to render the video out as any format (WMV, Quicktime, H.264) it starts and goes through about the first 25% then it stops. It says it is still encoding, but it isn't doing anything.
I have rebooted 3 times. Same results each time. This is very frustrating.
Any ideas?

Adobe Media Encoder Stopping While Encoding

I am trying to encode three sequences consisting of 4 .MXF files and .mp4 (h.264) files from two DSLRs (7d and 5d mkii) with some dynamic linked AE Comps (Lower Thirds with simple position and opacity in and outs). I was able to encode the first 2 sequences, but not without trouble (it took 3-5 tries for each sequence, but there is nothing specific which allowed it to finish). However, I am getting tired of the trouble I am having with getting the sequences to encode. The three places that AME gets stuck are reading the XMP file when it starts, reading the XMP file half way through (2 pass encoding) or processing the audio source halfway through. I have tried CBR, VBR 1 Pass and VBR 2 Pass, but neither of these seem to make any difference. The output file type is .mp4 (h.264) and I am using the built in presets (Vimeo HD 720p 29.97 and HD 720P 29.97). The audio is a single .wav file which is at 48 KHZ (I re-exported it with AME to change it from 44.1 to 48, thinking that was the problem). I tried clearing the cache, restarting AME and my computer (windows 8 MSI laptop), but these don't seem to have much effect.
Thanks for your help and time!
Cheers,
Corey

That software and OS are both pretty old. You may find there aren't too many people still using them to help on this one.

Adobe Media Encoder stopped working

Forgive me but I can't find the Creative Suite CS4 so I post here. I had a completed project that I wanted to export to *.avi. Clicking on export function I got a white screen. Tried to reinstall but as you know it doesn't install on its own so I reinstalled After Effects CS4 and Flash Professional. Run the updater and tried again. No luck. Please help me I have no idea what else to do.
Would an unintall-reinstall help or is there a simpler solution.

Hello,
I read that the cleaner tool didn't work. Premiere CS5 has the option of sending it to AME or encoding right from the timeline. Render times seem about the same.
Must be your "dynamic link" that's broken. This crashes my system every time I touch the keyboard while it's making a copy of the project file for AME.
I've also found that I need to reboot after editing with a complicated codec like h.264 before encoding if I don't want my system to hang.
CS4 only lets you render one thing at a time anyway, so hopefully you have that option of encoding right from the timeline. Otherwise After Effects becomes your encoding engine until starting from scratch.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 crash on startup

Hello,
I've been using and troubleshooting with the help of Adobe forums for quite a few years now (thank you to everyone), but I don't recall actually ever posting anything, as of yet.
Problem: Adobe Media Encoder was working fine yesterday and today it continually crashes on startup. I have accessed it alone through Start menu and also tried exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro as well as After Effects. AME crashes every single time. I'm not sure what is going on. I cannot provide the specs as I'm on a work computer (which I think should be scrapped for junk) and it's a dodgy little machine. Anybody else having problems with AME CS4?
I've also attached two screen shots. It's of the splash screen when it crashes and the error report.
Thanks,
nk

Ok so here's what happened to me: AME gave me the error "AME stopped working" It was working just fine the day before. Here is a list in sequence of what I did to try to resolve this issue. Reboot program, reboot computer, moved the project to its own Terabyte hard drive to make sure I had enough room to create the temp folders it needed when AME exports, Uninstalled all of the CS4 create suite then reinstalled and downloaded the 834MB update file, Prayed really hard, search forums, Cried out to God, came across this thread but it didn't sound right that all I had to do was delete a one KB xml file. But I started down that path anyway. c:\Users\'your account'\appdata\roaming\adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\ is a file called 'Watch Folder Info.xml' Im running Windows 7 and I had to show hidden folders http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial151.html once I could see the folders I had to take control of them. I thought I was the system admin but it didn't appear that way so I had to take ownership of the file http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-me nu-in-vista/ I finally got in and deleted the file and now it is working. It automatically created another watchfolder.xml but its still working. I think this is ridiculous that Adobe has this issue. It seems every 4 months or so PP has this huge issue that stops all my work. If wish I could find something more reliable but I have invested to many years into PP. I'm stuck.

Adobe Media Encoder not working

When I opened the Adobe Media Encoder, the "Start Queue" button is gray (it can't be clicked). There is also an error message that says fireworks.mov (the file I was trying to open) could not be imported by Adobe Media Encoder. Also, DivX appears as the file icon. Could this have anything to do with it? Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,

Adobe Media Encoder hanging

Premiere Pro CS4
File > Export > Youtube SD > 640x480
Media on C drive > encoding to C drive
After 3 mins, adobe media encoder hangs, elapsed queue time does not move, elapsed time does not move, estimated remaining does not move.
I only have 2 titles in video, no video transitions, and an mp3 audio file i added in.
what should i try?

Jim,
I did a quick small project and it did not hang.
Ever since I overlayed the audio track with my MP3 audio it has been causing issues.
The estimateed remaining time starts at 38:00 then quickly goes down to 13:06 or so, and then it hangs. In the task manager, the processes are still running and under performance PF Usage is 3.38 GB (probably all of the RAM), and CPU at 0%.
I'm gonna let it run for a few hours to see if it moves at all. then if that doesn't work remove the audio and see if that works.
Update:1 hour no movement.

Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder

I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
I've found two solutions to this problem:
1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.

No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
Well, enough rambling.
To put it simple:
Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
Thanks!

Queuing from Premiere Pro to Adobe Media Encoder no longer working? CS6

Hi there,
Just very recently adobe media encoder has stopped accepting que's from premiere. I choose export in premiere, setup the export details and hit que, adobe media encoder launches, but then it flashes once (like disappears reappears, very quickly) and then it just simply does nothing. No item appears in the que. I have tried opening the premiere sequence directly from adobe media encoder but it does nothing either. If I drag the premiere project directly onto a preset in adobe media encoder, it crashes every time. (though not sure if it would of done this previous to my problem arising)
Anyway, very frustrating as I usually work on a different project whilst media encoder is rendering something out. Now i'm stuck with huge down times as I wait till the render is finished.
Recently updated to Mac OSX 10.8.3 - I think this is when the problem began.
Just updated the CUDA driver to 5.0.45 but this has not changed anything.
Working on a Mac Pro 5,1, 2x2.4Ghz 24GB RAM, EVGA GTX 660 FTW,

Some suggestions and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

Adobe Media Encoder not launching when I clicked queue in Export Media

Hi guys,
I have been trying for about 3 weeks now trying to render my work using Adobe Media Encoder but it just won't launch as mentioend in my subject line. Upon clicking on queue, the animation showing "preparing data for export" and "exporting data" appeared and disappeared and then nothing happens. Resuming to work on my project in Premiere Pro becomes impossible and a semi-transparent white screen appears over Premiere Pro and it hangs with a message from Windows 7 appearing saying that Premiere Pro has stopped responding.
Here are a few things that I have tried:
Updating all of my softwares included in the Production Premium Suite CS5.5
Deleting all files in the folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\5.5
Pressing Ctrl + Alt +Shift and launching Premiere Pro
Pressing Ctrl + Alt +Shift and launching Adobe Media Encoder
Opening sequence in Adobe Media Encoder to try to render
Called up Adobe Asia Pacific only to be told that I will charged something like USD$39 if they were to help me
Disabling Mercury Engine Playback capability
The only work around I'm doing now is to copy the files to another computer and rendering from there.
Can anyone else suggest another way or point me in the right direction please?
My com's specs are as follow:
Windows 7 Premium 64-bit Operating System
16Gb RAM
Intel Core i7 CPU [email protected]
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Display Adapter: nVidia GeForce GTX560Ti
Many thanks people.

The X58 platform uses triple channel memory mode if you use 3 or 6 memory sticks, but if you use 4 slots, memory will only be used in single or dual channel mode, depending on which slots are occupied. Amount of memory has more impact than the mode used, but you may get better performance from 24 GB (6 x 4 GB).
However, I don't think that will solve your issue. Having only two disks is minimum. Adding a disk can certainly help, see Adobe Forums: Generic Guideline for Disk Setup
Have you turned of indexing and compression on both disks, have you uninstalled the sidebar, MSN and games? Have you disabled unneeded services, etc.?
It says Vista but also applies to Win7: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista...
DSLR material is usually HD, but .VOB files are SD, so there is a lot of scaling going on when exporting. Make sure you have enabled hardware MPE. Also have a look at Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5
