Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.  How can I trouble shoot this.  I have no idea why this is failing.  I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

Harm, I followed your advice.  I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions.  Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software.  I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
Thanks for your response.

  • Changing Frame Padding On Image Sequence Exports, Media Encoder

    Hello Adobe World,
    I am using dynamic link from After Effects to Media Encoder and I am trying to export an image sequence with a specific numbering system for input into software code. Is there any way to change the frame padding or change the numbering system for Image sequence exports?
    We are trying to speed up our workflow by Batch rendering from AME. AE does let us set our frame numbering and gives us an option for creating sub-folders (it's surprising the AE is much more organized in it's export options that AME). We need to be able to render more than one thing at a time and need to keep working in AE while the files are rendering. I have not found a workable background rendering plug-in for CC14. We could use AME if there is a way to fix the Number system.  We are working on a PC Windows 8. I can provide more system specs if it is necessary.
    Side note: in AE we can use [#] to set the numbering value and in AME it does not work.
    Thank you for your help!
    Still looking for an answer on this.... it's been 2 months.... Adobe team? Anyone?

    Change it to this?

    There was a Red Giant bug in the Magic Bullet suite that caused problems with AME. Make sure you've fixed that.
    Try a simple comp that is just a solid layer with no effects or animation and nothing else in the composition. If that works then give us all the details on your comp or try eliminating one effect at a time until you find the problem.

  • Long Projects exported Media Encoder 5.0.1 fail to finish

    Exporting 90 minute P2 AVC-INTRA 100 sequence or a 90 Motion JPEG sequence fails to finish.  Both exports fail around 50%.  Media Encoder 5.0.1 fails to finish.  This is reminicent of PP 2 and CS3 days when long sequences would not finish.  In this case I ended up breaking up the sequence into two parts and the exports complete.  Suspect that media encoder 5.0.1 over time generates error that there is not enough disk space when there actually is.  Media Encoder indicates error compiling movie.  Maybe not refreshing itself during the export process.  Developers need to fix this asap.  Memory management may also be an issue with this problem.
    If anyone is having this same exporting problem suggest you break up project into chunks for now until this is fixed by Adobe.
    Cannot finish long projects with this bug not being fixed.

    Have not tried that.  System configuration guys I talk to on a regular basis have told me that because Media Encoder is caching the project in memory that the appropriate way to to run and export via Media Encoder, when exporting your project, is to queue the export to Media Encoder from Premiere then start the encode in Media Encoder first then close Premiere CS5.  Something to do with the way they link or something.  However the problem I am having is exporting a long project (90 minutes).  Adobe had an issue a few versions back with this same issue of exporting a large project.  I suspect it has to do with the app no rechecking it's own processes or some piece of code that is stopping the export after a certain time or certain size when it should not.  Reported the bug to adobe and I hope they fix it asap.  I could be wrong as I am using a GTX 480 card and because mercury playback is not officially supported I could be having issues related to the card.  However, until I hear someone exporting a 90 minute or 2 hour movie in AVC-INTRA 100 or motion jpeg or Cineform without a problem I am pretty sure this is a bug.

  • Premiere CC crashing when dragging sequences to Media Encoder CC

    I've always been able to do this in the past, but suddenly when I drag a sequence or multiple sequences to Media Encoder from Premiere, Premiere crashes and gives me the following:
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [/sirreact64/releases/2013.03/shared/adobe/dvamediatypes/project/mac/../../src/TickTime.cp p-219]
    and then a box pops up in Media encoder that says
    Dynamic Link Error
    Source is empty.
    Anyone help?
    17" Macbook Pro with 10.7.5
    Premiere CC
    Media Encoder CC

    I am using the most updated version of PPro CC with OS 10.8.5. It seems to have issues with certain sequences and not others.  It also may be the files themselves.  They play fine in the program viewer and I have sent them to Media Encoder before, but if I create a new sequence with the same settings and copy the files into it, the same thing happens. I have a lot of 29.97 720x480 (1.21 pixels) and 1440x1080 (PAR 1.333) footage to edit together and create dvds out of (not my idea - it's a job) and I am in the middle of trying various ways of encoding to make it as clear as possible.
    Currently I am using 1440x1080i HD anamorphic sequence settings encoding into 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic with frame blending, maximum render quality, Target bit rate of 30 VBR 2 pass. Then combining those files with other sequences into a longer 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic sequence and encoding MPEG 2-DVD NTSC widescreen progressive 100% quality, VBR 2 pass and the output is much better. This has been working, and today suddenly it stopped and started crashing. Any ideas?

  • Import Image Sequence in Media Encoder CS4?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to import an image sequence in Media Encoder CS4 to export it in FLV?
    In the documentation, it's said in "File formats supported for import" that it supports jpg sequence (not png!?), but I don't know how to add an image sequence.
    Thanks

    Sorry I meant, it doesn't look like can and I find that gay.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 remove my video layers from sequence after export Media Encoder.

    Every time I send the seq to Media Encoder, Premiere Pro hides my video layers and leaves only the audio layers. When I restart the project the workspace is messed up and I have to reset it. Do you guys know what is going on ?

    Yes known issue.
    Make a new project and drop this one into it.
    See if that will help

  • Premiere CC 2014 hangs when sending sequences to Media Encoder CC 2014

      Whenever I try to send a sequence from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Media Encoder CC 2014, Premiere immediately freezes and becomes unresponsive. AME seems to still be running just fine.
    I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:
    – Clearing the media cache.
    – Clearing and moving the scratch disks.
    – Deleting all render previews and re-building them.
    – Completely re-installing all of Adobe's Creative Cloud suite.
    – Importing the at-question PPCC14 project file into a fresh PPCC14 project and importing only the sequence I need to export.
    – Dragging and dropping the at-question Premiere sequence into AME.
    – Opening only AME and trying to drag the entire Premiere project file from Finder.app into AME's render queue. (This happens to work, as a matter of fact, however something strange happens once the sequence is in the AME queue. It pops up just fine, I can change the render settings and file export location, but when I click the green play button at the top right, nothing happens. AME doesn't hang or freeze up or anything, it's just that nothing happens. No prep, no nothing – very strange.)
    – Uninstalling CUDA completely and tried using only OpenCL and software-only rendering engines.
    – Opening the same at-question project on an entirely different computer.
    – Trying to export from PPCC14 itself.
    – Tried opening up an entirely different PPCC14 project and exporting – worked perfectly. So it must be something with this specific project file.
    I eventually got it working (honestly, I'm not even sure what I did – at that point it felt like I was in a zombie state after four hours of troubleshooting and was just repeating troubleshooting steps because I was trying to hit a deadline with this export.) I was able to export it directly from PPCC14 – I was never able to get it to work with AMECC14, however.
    Other miscellaneous noteworthy things: This project I'm trying to export is massive – it's a feature documentary that's about 2 hours in length. It's very complex in its edits, has a mixture of ProRes 422 files and .MTS files, and the entire project is reading media from three separate USB 3.0 hard drives. I know that's not the ideal workflow, but it's been doing just fine until this last time I tried to render out the latest export for our client.
    Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

    I've tried importing into a new blank project, but that did not seem to work. I then tried selecting the sequence in the bin and exporting that as a "Simplified Project" via the File menu. That still does not work when sending the sequence to AMECC14, but it does work when I render straight from PPCC14.
    I have also found that as long as I give it enough time to load up and all that, I seem to be able to export just fine from PPCC14 itself – I'm still getting the freezing/hanging when trying to send to AMECC14 however.
    Thanks for the help so far Cgunningham – I really appreciate it. I'll keep following up here if I find anything else new out.

  • Red r3d 3k fails on CUDA export Media encoder CC

    Been having some problems with Red 3k.
    Several times recently for some low budget stuff I have shot 3k and put it in a 720P timeline.
    All of my 3k material will fail under media encoder CUDA export.....it works under software but a 20 minute CUDA encode is 7 hours with 3k in software encoding
    4k 5k all work fine no problems.....just the 3k stuff. And this has been the case over several shoots for months.
    It is also the same with 1080p sequences and at any frame rate, and it also fails from PPRO direct export (not queued)
    Thanks

    Yes, AME queue is a problem.  I have a 28 minute weekly broadcast for a client that must be encoded in 6 different formats for TV Broadcast, mpeg2 DVD, vimeo, mp3, h.264 for vimeo, etc.  If I attempt to encode all 6 in the queue I will have some success and also failure.   If I queue several videos that all require mpeg2 (though with each requiring several different specs, i.e., upper field vs. lower field, mpeg2 dvd, mpeg2 HD, etc.) it will complete the task.  Yet if I add h.264 to the mix all encodes will fail.  I can encode h.264 by itself with no problems.  So yes, you are not alone.  Not sure what the solution is.  In CS6 one could queue all of these formats and walk away.  Can Adobe acknowledge these issues and then propose a solution?

  • Importing picture sequence in Media Encoder ? like in the help

    If you look in this help document   http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AdobeMediaEncoder/4.0/WS8A54CAA7-268E-4af0-B8A4-0EA3EACEC1A3.h tml
    it says you can import TGA sequence and JPG sequence. From the document :
    - JPEG and JPEG sequence (JPE, JPG, JFIF)
    - Targa and Targa sequence (TGA, ICB, VDA, VST)
    but I was unable to do that. You can drop a jpg file in MEdia Encoder and it will convert just fine - but only the first frame. How to load the entire sequence ?

    I'm trying to import. When you're working with 3d graphics and rendering - the common work-flow would be to render a series of frames, a sequence. Many people work like this also even with normal footage.
    Or some programs expect also a sequence. For example the software Nuke (commonly used for compositing in films like Watchmen and Avatar).
    And because I think Adobe Media Encoder is one of the fastest encoders around I would like to use it to convert a sequence of JPG in a WMV or H264.
    Since it can export a sequence of TGA or BMP it's only normal to expect that it can read also a sequence. And more so the Help says it can :
    Supported still‑image formats :
    JPEG and JPEG sequence (JPE, JPG, JFIF)
    Targa and Targa sequence (TGA, ICB, VDA, VST)
    But if I drag a JPEG file in the encoder - it reads only the first frame. Is there a special method to read the rest of the frames ? Maybe a script , or maybe I have to make a text file like a playlist ..or something.

  • Memory & Export & Media Encoder

    Problem 1:
    Is there in CS4 a way to export a standard DV AVI file (standard DV 4:3 source material) without having to use Media Encoder?   In older versions of Premiere (CS2 for example) all I had to do was "Export to Movie" which created an AVI file.  Now, I use "Export to Media", Media Encoder opens and has to load the whole darn project, then "encode" my timeline .. this take a LOT LONGER than I want.
    Because I'm new to CS4, am I missing something?
    Problem 2:
    After I work in CS4 Premiere for a while (about 2 -3 hours), I get a warning that "Adobe Premiere is Low on Memory.  Please save your project and proceed with caution." ...    What's that all about?  I have to close the project and reopen to 'flush' the mem?
    TIA,
    jd

    1. No.
    2. It looks like either PPro or a third-party plug-in is leaking memory.
    Please provide these details to help us help you.

  • Trying to add a comp to Media Encoder Queue, but nothing happens. CC

    I've tried to uninstall and reinstall After Effects CC and Premiere Pro CC, and I still can not get Media Encoder to launch.

    The trouble is that I can't find AME anywhere. Even after I reinstalled After Effects. I've found numerous downloads to update AME online, but can't do anything since I don't have AME in the first place. OS X 10.9.3.

  • CS4 Premiere Export Media - Encoder

    Hallo,
    could anybody help me whats wrong wiht my settings. Im exporting the video, but the exported video is shrinked/cropped whatever, i.e. its shown only as a mini-window of the displayed player window size... i.e. How do I get rid of the thick black frame of the exported video image ?

    Thank you. I think I found the problem. At the beginning I had just chosen the wrong sequence Preset (where for example frame size, audio sampling are completely different than th source).
    I solved this, just by opening a new sequence with the right preset. I already had the movie cut, so I copy&pasted the video cuts into the oter sequence.

  • Lightroom Launches, then nothing

    I've been using beta 4 for months, 10.4.7, then today I open Lightroom, but no window opens, nothing operable except for File/ About Lightroom. I tried opening with a new library, that didn't help. Downloaded a new Beta, still no action.
    Also tried to open by opening a pic direct from the library/ open with, photoshop and Preview worked, not Lightroom.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you for your responses.
    The permissions are fine.
    I was making backups but I made a mistake and will simply say my mouse ate the most recent back up.
    I chose Lightroom because I can save my Nikon raw files as DNG. As a result there were no sidecar files at import and I never understood the importance of generating them after the fact.
    In my serch for documentation I bought the Scott Kelby book and the video by Michael Reichmann. In the book XMP sidecar files were not mentioned and I don't recall any mention in the video.
    I will search the postings in these forums for more information.
    I have looked at the Lightroom library in TextEdit and see where I made adjustments but I don't think I can do anything with the data.
    So... I wait for V1.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Doesn't recognize .prproj files

    I am absolutely losing it here. I have read posts on various forums for hours, not only can I not find a solution, I can't find anyone who has this same problem. I'm running CS4 on a Mac and when I try to export from premiere, Adobe Media Encoder opens, then nothing happens. The file is never added to the queue, it just sits there. If I open Adobe Media Encoder manually then click add and try to select a premiere project, the file is grayed out. I changed the dropdown menu for file types to be "all types" and I click on a premiere file and it just pops up an error message saying the file cannot be imported. Same thing if I try to drag the file in. I can do absolutely nothing with AME.
    I've seen plenty of people saying AME crashes midway through rendering or people saying they get an error saying to check if the source has been moved or deleted. I don't get any of that. I have nothing. It doesn't show up in the log or errors in any way.
    The most annoying thing is that it used to work. I exported several files this way. I did not change any settings though, I even went and restored all the default settings. Still nothing. Its not just the one file, I've tried lots of different files, none work. I even reinstalled premiere, after effects, and AME and nothing changed.
    I'm at a complete loss and I need to get work done and I wish I could post lots and lots of curse words here...

    Hi,
    I use CS3 on a PC so I've no experience with mac problems...
    However, even if I had a mac I would ask you first a little more about your computer....
    I have heard of memory chips going bad on a computer and suddenly that causes things not to work...but there's no sense just guessing...
    Try to tell as much as you can about your computer and about the assets you are using.
    Since it used to work and now it doesn't , can you think of anything you added or changed on the computer ?
    Sometimes adding software or codec packs or hardware can sorta change things on your computer enough to make weird things happen...
    Anyway, give as much info as you can
    I think there's threads here about what sort of info would be best to supply if you don't know much about your computer ...
