Stream DeMuxed Video Media Pending Issue

I'm extracting portions of a client's DVD video for re-use in another of this client's project.
Initially, I used DVD Decrypter to create a VOB of the chapter he requested, renamed it to MPEG and plays properly in Windows Media Player Classic.
Imported that into Premiere CS3 and it did nothing but Media Pending for hours.
The next day, I re ripped the same chapter with stream decoding. I made separate .m2v file for video and an .ac3 stream, which I converted to wav with HeadAC3.
I figured this time it would work. But alas, I loaded it into CS3, waited with hope as it 'indexed' video file, and then sat there in dismay as Media Pending screens stared back at me.
Upon looking at the properties of the video file, Premiere thinks it's 1 second in length, when in reality it is over 26 mins in length.
Just as a sanity check, I went to another workstation that also runs CS3 and copied the video clip there. But the results were the same after "indexing" process finished.
Is it my wrong assumption that Premiere can handle MPEG2 video? I was under the (apparently false) assumption that it could.

In the interim, I found Super© a universal converter program that converts anything to anything else. I converted the video clip to DV AVI and am all set now. Since the clip was a local 1969 television interview, the quality was not good enough to suffer visible deterioration because of the DV color sampling, so it was suitable in this case.
I did not notice anything on the Virtual Dub web site other than some FX filters they were offering, and did not know there was a hacked version floating around. But generally we don't run 'hacked' software or software whose origins don't trace to a secure, trusted producer on our commercial production machines, so I wasn't inclined to go much further with digging into the VD tools.

Media Pending Issue???

Here is the answer for MEDIA PENDING issue, after you render on Adobe Premiere CC 2014, all you have to do is click on the little eye icon on the left side of the sequence and then un-click it...or click back on it,,,,,,.and presto!!! you can see your wonderful rendered master piece!!!! Do this for every video line that you're using. I hope this helps, happy editing!!!

OK - this isn't a codec issue.... I have an old copy of Premiere Elements 2
and I've just installed it. I can import the audio and video and they both
conform and index fine, and quickly too. They cut, render out as AVIs...
they work!
I go back to Premiere Pro CS4 and everything is still pending. How can this
be if it is a codec issue? Surely the codec is there if Premiere Elements 2
can do it?
So why does it all work at work with Premier Pro CS4 but not at home?
Any ideas?

MEDIA PENDING ISSUE IN PREMIERE CS4

I've seen this topic get quite a kicking around on these formus, and I've been struggling with this one since February. I would see media pending anytime I imported HDV footage. I would see it when I added certain effects like 'Solid Composite" and then prerendered the footage. I worked with Adobe and they were pretty much useless. I figured out some fixes on my own, like I noticed that I could capture and work with HDV but couldn't import it. That was related somehow to those XML files the capture created. I discovered that nesting footage would help. I tried avoiding HDV altogether converting my HDV to H.264, but those files can get very large and the conversion can take a LONG time.
Yesterday I found out what may be causing this. First of all, if you don't use Windows this won't apply to you. As an After Effects user, I have always turned on the /3GB switch in my boot.ini so that AE can get more than 2GB RAM. I've been doing this for years and this has never been a problem. After reading somewhere that it can have a negative affect on a system with a video card that has 1GB RAM, I decided to experiment. To my amazement, it solved all those media pending problems that I had. So far so good, I can import HDV, I can prerender without nesting, I can apply effects to my hearts content, and there is no sign of the problem reoccuring. It has only been a day, but given the fact that these problems were 100% reproducable on multiple systems with different hardware and different CS4 revisions and now they are gone, I'm pretty optimistic. Hope this will help many of you. I am curious if it does so let me know.

Removing the /3GB switch while troubleshooting has long been one of the Quick Tips in this troubleshooting page.
There are other tips than seem like no brainers, but sometimes people change a seemingly inocuous setting for some reason or other, then they forget they did it and it starts causing a problem down the line. The troubleshooting page is designed to have people check everything to ensure settings are set correctly.
Glad you found the cause of your problems and thanks for posting your success.

Delay on playback when switching between Sequences (Media Pending)

Hello guys,
I'm growing quite frustrated with Premiere CC lately.
So I am running CC on a Desktop PC. Core elements are : Asus X-79 Deluxe, Intel i7 4930K, 32gb ram, Geforce Titan.
OS (Win 8.1) and CC are running on a SSD. Footage is on internal 7200rpm HHDs.
All other softwares (mostly Davinci and Red Cine) are working perfectly, fast, no crash what-so-ever. So I thought the system was working fine. But Premiere is a nightmare and I'm trying to figure out where it can come from.
Some issues appeared recently, on the latest version, and I did not have in the previous ones.
First, I was facing a huge problem when simply opening clips from the Project window into the Source player. I usually had a 30-second "Media Pending" every time. When working with 1000+ files, it was simply impossible to work. Weirdly enough, I found a trick : when opening the first clip, I would have this Media Pending issue, but (that's where it gets funny), if I did not play the clip, just stay on the first frame, and opened a second one right away, then the second one wouldn't have the Media Pending issue. As long as I stayed on Frame 1 of each clip, I could open the next one without any issue. Then, once I navigate in those "pre-opened" clip, they'd play fine, without delay. But again, if I went a bit further and opened a new clip (not previously pre-opened) I'd have to go through 30 seconds of Media Pending again. F*** annoying. But whatever, I just had to open all clips before starting editing and then it would work.
But now, I have a very similar issue when I edit further on. Especially if I have several sequences, every time I move from one sequence to the next, it would take several seconds before the video (on the Program Player) would appear. Most of the time, the player just stays black, but a couple of times, I got the Media Pending screen again.
Then, once this is passed, the playback is all over the place. The most common problem is that the video plays, but if I press stop, the cursor stops on the timeline (the UI reacts to what I do) but the video keeps playing.... and I can press stop like a maniac, it stops playing like 20 seconds later... The UI still reacts, I can navigate menus etc... but the video just keeps playing. I have to wait several seconds before being able to work again.
I've tried a lot of things : changing the footage to a different disk, updating Video drivers. I suspect it is related to a fairly new function cause I never had these problems on the previous Premieres (the pre 2014.2 version). But right now, I just missed the deadline of a client today because the program was being so slow. You can imagine I feel a bit stressed.
Let me know if you have experienced stuff like this before, or if you had any idea where it can come from, I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks a lot!
Cédric

Yes of course, I know it's mostly the frustration talking, but unfortunately the issues with the software are important enough to affect my job a lot.
And they are still here, I'm really trying different solutions, especially since they appeared recently, they must be linked to a new feature somewhere in Premiere. Any idea what it could be? It working absolutely fine on Premiere pre-2014.2.
Now I open my almost finished sequence, and when I drag the cursor across the sequence, every time it's on a new clip, it freezes for a while. A few seconds. Then that clip plays fine. I move to another shot and it's the same, the video freezes for a while (UI still reacts normally). If I try to just press play, it plays the shots that i already when over, but if there is a new one, the video freezes, sound continues, and I can press stop as many times as I want, it keeps playing.
Once I have finally gone once over every shot, then the video plays absolutely fine. So I guess it has to do with a cache option. But tried cleaning the cache, moving the scratch disk to a different disk (now it's on a internal ssd, should be fast!) but to no avail..
At this point, I feel the last 3 options I have is :
- finish my current projects, and try an entire new workflow for the following ones, and use something else than the MXF container
- or, finish my current projects then move to Avid
- rebuild my entire system to see if that changes anything

I am having the same problem... I think.
I convert my media through MPEG Streamclip to Apple Pro Res (HQ22) and, interlace my video and have it set to 1920 x 1080 30fps. Whenever I open Adobe Premiere CC and I use the exact information as the footage, it will always tell me that its the wrong sequence settings to the footage, so I click "Change Sequence Settings" (thinking that I have done something wrong. Then that Media Pending will always come up, and then I always get drop frames and the footage looks clumsy. I have tried so many times to change the sequence settings to whatever the Properties of my clips say, and yet the same thing always happens.
I just upgraded to CC and used CS5 before. I have the adobe suite and don't have a problem with the rest of the Adobe programs. Thinking I might convert back to FCP 7 if things stay this way!
Can anyone help???

Media Pending - Premiere CC very sluggish

Hi all, I'm a brand new Premiere CC user. I have a new project consisting of Canon c300 and DSLR footage.
Everything imported fine. The problem is, when I double click on a clip in the Project Window, Premiere is extremely sluggish, and shows "Media Pending" for around 30 seconds or so before the media becomes visible in the Source Window.
Furthermore, all the other clips in the Project Window remain in "Media Pending" for a minute or more, and only the ones visible on my screen seem to load (if I scroll down in the Project Window, the clips that were below the screen haven't loaded, so I have to wait again). Once they have "loaded," it seems to behave fine, but this is a terribly slow way to work.
I've tried unchecking both XMP buttons in Preferences, cleaned Media Cache within the program, and emptied out the "Media Cache" folder in Common manually (however I did not touch the "Media Cache Files" folder yet - should I?)
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 64bit SP1
Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz
6GB Ram
7200 RPM Hard Drive
NVidia Quadro NVS 285
-Win7 is on C:
-Premiere is installed to C: (Internal 7200 drive)
-All Scratch Disks set to D: (another 7200 Internal HD).
-All Media is on M: (a third 7200 Internal HD).
I'm aware this isn't the newest computer, but even the c300 the files play back smoothly. So I doubt that's the bottleneck.
Can someone help me? It's going to be difficult or impossible to use Premiere if there is constantly a 1+ minute wait to simply open a bin and be able to view footage.

Hi Metrolens,

Thanks Kevin.
So you're saying there's no doubt that this specific problem is caused by an underpowered machine?
The Media Pending issue is indexing that needs to be done before a file can play. The fact that your media loses the indexing when scrolling out of view, but will playback the clips that are indexed seems to me to be an issue with your computer hardware.

Will a new video card correct the issue? Can you suggest one I might consider?
Though your system should work based on the minimum system requirements, I would recommend a new GPU and a new CPU. An Intel Core2 Duo will still likely provide very low performance and you get no GPU acceleration with that video card. Here are the minimum system requirements: System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro

PP 2014 Sony F5 Media Pending no solutuion!?!?!?!?!

In the studio we have couple of Windows 7 machines with the Premere Pro CC 2014 installed
Currently we're working on a project that was shot on Sony f5 in MPEG4 SStPSQ (4:4:4)
On all the machines everything works fine except one because of the Media Pending Issue
We work on windows and we tried to get it solved in different ways
1.) Searched the web and this forum as well for the answer to the Media Pending Issue. (The hints to move around plugin files and uninstall the Sony RAW plugin)
Re: Problem previewing raw mfx files
2.) Uninstalling the Sony plugin + registry cleaning
3.) Uninstalling all of the Adobe Software using the Cleaner tool + registry cleaning and reinstaling
4.) Deleted the plugin files from the plugin directory and deleted the cache up is this
5.) Using the shift key every time to strart PP
Only thing what we came up just with this
ImporterF65 file has not much to do with importing the Sony shots but moving it around can generate an import error. The footage is handled by Importer MXF but why does it not work in this case...
Please post an update if a solution is found.
Kind Regards
Max

I just upgrade my system Intel I7 5820K, 16g 2400 ram, Nvidia GTX 970 4G video graphic card, 2 X SSD 256G, 2 X HD 7200rpm 3T, Windows 8.1.
I tried on different HD and same message Media Pending and freeze. I tried with a new project and import file ands same messsage.
I'm with the trial version and I'm not sure if will continue with adobe premiere if the problems continue like this.

Slow/unresponsive video playback, media pending, after CC'14 October update

Encountering a strange issue after the October update. It's a project carried over from the previous CC'14 version, nothing crazy, about an 18 minute timeline of video/.mov clips straight off a JVC GY-HM600U with simple RGB curves/masks on some clips, some Prores422 clips of graphics exported out of After Effects, a couple nested sequences featuring simple text w/ cross dissolves, and a lower 3rd Quicktime with RGB+Alpha. There are some linked AE comps in the project but not in the sequence. Ran fine before update. Here's my system, obviously no CUDA so Mercury Playback is software only:
Upon opening the project everything is fine, playback is smooth, scrubbing from beginning to end no problem. After a period of time, 10-15 minutes? Suddenly video playback hangs up, with audio continuing to play after . Opening a clip in the Source window displays the Media Pending thumbnail, after 15 seconds it seems to find the media but again it's only a still frame with video hanging up. Then audio seems to hang up and I can't do anything. I can still manipulate the UI but scrubbing through the timeline is completely unresponsive, pressing play does nothing.
Quitting the program seems to freeze it, the window closes but it stays lit up in my dock and shows Application Not Responding, causing me to force quit.
A system reboot yesterday seemed to clear the issue up for the remainder of the work day but it's back today. Not sure where the issue is coming from, but seems like some kind of memory leak or something similar since it seems to be a gradual degradation in performance. I'll have to roll back to a previous version to finish up this project until things are fixed.

Hello,
Many thanks for your very long reply and your interest in my problems.
I shall try to answer you :
- 1) OS : Windows 7 64 bits Pro SP1, french,
                 Version : 6.1.7601.18247 (Win7RTM)
                 Framework.NET : 4.0.30319.18408 built by : FX451RTMGREL)
                 DirectX : 11.0,
                 OpenGL : 6.1.7600.16385 (Win7_rtm.090713-1255).
- 2) Yes the media pending goes away but after a couple of minutes (one
year ago I was using PP CS6 and Encore CS6, I never had this problem
even with very long files),
- 3) Yes my GPU driver is updated (Nvidia GeForce 332.21 dated 12/19/2014).
I never had thiese problems with PP CS6 + Encore CS6 and my projects
built with these PP ans Encore version were with the same structure and
length (in PP CS6 : sequences up to 45 minutes, in Encore CS6 chapters
up to the same time).
The difference between are in my hardware :
- the RAM was upgraded from 12 GB to 24 GB,
- the CPU was overclocked from 3,2 GHz (default) to 3,88 GHz).
- 4) I shall try up to the disk burn to check if the problem is just due
to display of "animated buttons".
I hope my answer will be usefull for you.
Regards,
Jacques Gourier.

Live Video streaming with Adobe Media Server

Problem:
I have 10mbit up/down internet connection. I will do video streaming a live meeting to around 350-400 live watchers
So i can't use regular streaming to all watchers. Then each user will have 3kb/sec rate which is a terrible speed.
Solution:
here what I understand about Multicasting.
I have a dedicated server with 1gbit dedicated port.
I will only stream my video to dedicated server and the watchers will be getting data directly from dedicated server which have 1gbit port.
Can I do this with adobe media server?

Powerbook g4 cannot stream any video without serious lag issues

hi guys
have a solid older g4 powerbook 1.33 ghz 1.25 ram powerbook i gave to my gf as a present. This thing just will not stream any videos with out serious lag. Even if videos buffer all the way it jumps all over the place.
Sites like Justin.tv we cannot stream one channel good, audio is fine but picture is unwatchable due to lag. I can watrch the same channel on my 2007 macbook pro and its totally fine. Any tips on how to get this powerbook running right?? Even youtube you can't watch because of laaaaaag. This shouldn't be an issue.
thx

Unfortunately, our PBs are showing their technology age with streaming video's that have become more prevalent. You can take a few steps to try and maximize the performance, however, at the proverbial end of the day, if viewing streaming video's is important, it's time to upgrade.
First, ensure you have 10% to 15%+ free disk space on your internal hard drive. Less than that can really crimp performance.
Download OnyX and run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. Before using any disk maintenance program, good data protection practice says you should have your hard drive backed up. (I've never heard of a data issue with Onyx, however). Download from: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=e115f3f4154a6c53a8426d0c4b8a52a5
Periodically run the Apple hardware test or either of the TechTool programs to ensure there's not any sick hardware getting in the way.
Bring up the activity monitor and on the system memory tab look at page ins and outs. If page outs are 10% or more of page ins, you can use more memory for what you run.

Found Fix for "Media Pending" with MPEG Videos (after 4 years)

This is for Premiere CS3.
Very often, if you make any changes to your system, or move files around, Premiere can lose track of the database that keeps track of MPEG2 video clips. The result is a persistent Media Pending display instead of your video. Cleaning the Media Cache doesn't fix it. Deleting all the temp folder media cache doesn't either. Here's what I found that works:
Go into this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\3.0\MediaIO\Cache
The <User Name> will be your login name of the Windows account.
Delete all the files that are in this folder.
Restart Premiere and watch it re index your video and your video reapear again.
Took me FOUR YEARS to discover this one on my own!

AVI's (10bit) made with Digital Rapids say 'Media Pending' and never play on PC

I am running all 3 versions of Premiere Pro on our work PC (CS6, CC, and CC2014). We use this system to edit AVI's made with
Digital Rapids Stream 3.7.47. Before, we could load any AVI and it would read 'Media Pending' for a few seconds then load right up.
Now, it sits on the yellow screen and never loads. I've tried 6 or 7 different AVI's and none worked in any of the 3 versions of Premiere. The only glimmer
of hope was one loaded on After Effects CC2014, but that's it.
So, I should also mention these are 10 bit AVI's. I HAVE been able to load 8 bit AVI's but the 10 bit are all problematic in Premiere.
Please help... Deadlines approaching...
Thanks!

DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

Premiere Pro CC 2014 gets stuck on Media Pending.

Hi there,
I've been having a bit of trouble with PPCC 2014 opening projects then getting stuck with all my footage and assets and after effects comps just displaying with 'Media Pending'. The program still works, opens, and I can save and click around so it's not crashing but nothing loads unless I force it to relink which obviously isn't great when I'm having to edit multiple large projects. These projects still open just fine on regular old Premiere Pro CC so I will continue using that for the time being.
Media Encoder is also having an issue with After Effects comps that are in Premiere Pro timelines and only display as 'Media Pending'.
Fortunately all these issues go away if I reboot my machine and try again straight away, but having to reboot my mac just to open a project or do a export isn't exactly preferable.
I have a Mac Pro (late 2013) with 10.9.4 with 16gb Ram and a AMD D500 3GB card.
I'm just wondering if anyone has been suffering with the same issues and has come across any fixes.
Thanks in advance.

Here is my post from another thread concerning the same issue:
I got through Adobe to connect to me remotely to solve this problem twice. They cleaned the cache and preferences and renamed my Adobe folder under applications (don't exactly know how thy did it.) The problem disappeared only to come back after a little while. No video playback, unresponsive buttons - but playable audio, and media pending for all clips. I told them to report this to tech support. This was about a month ago but no updates still..I know I hadn't had this issue neither with CS6 nor with CC.
I am currently rendering my project after changing the sequence's editing mode to Quicktime ProRes Proxy to see if it will help. Preview is still preview but as you said maybe the issue is to be with preview settings set to i-frame mpeg. I have read about the mpeg importer plugin to be an issue in previous versions of premiere pro concerning issues with media pending but i might be wrong.
After changing the sequence settings to Prores Proxy (or if you don't have these codecs installed you may try another codec or google "Prores codec install" and have them installed) the problem cleared away. I have looped the timeline and played it over and over for a couple of hours without the issue surfacing.
