Why does Media Encoder suddenly fail so often?

I often will break up a project into several shorter clips and send them to the queue in Media Encoder.  Lately, when I go to encode the files, Media Encoder will get through 2 or 3, and then I'll see a yellow trianglw with an exclamation point next to one of the clips and the word "fail" next to that.  If I save my queue, exit Media Encoder, restart Media Encoder, reset that clip's status and start encoding again, it will work fine for another few clipws and then fail again.  It only started doing this recently.  The program gives me no information about what is causing the failure.  what can I do to address this?

Making a duplicate creates a new 'source', so that's why it works.
This was a common error for CS4, and I believe there was a fix or work around for it.  Try searching around the forums a bit.

  • Why does my iMac suddenly fail to automatically go in to sleep mode?

    Had difficulty booting up system one day. Screensaver comes on after period of non-use, then black screen when display goes away, However, I no longer get "breathing" white light at right hand corner of screen, even though the screen goes black. Tech support instructed me to perform start, apple key, options p, then r. ( In order to reset PRAM.) Light will only "breathe" when it is manually placed into sleep mode; NOT when it is left alone to do it by itself. Does anyone know why this is occuring? Many thanks

    FIXED!
    The IP address of the printer had changed. I printed a new Configuration Page from the printer, which contains the IP address. I then entered the new IP address into my iMac. The iMac was then able to 'see' the printer and I can now print.
    The HP forums solved this for me.

  • Why Does Media Encoder Slow Down Dramatically on Combined AVCHD Clips?  Solution?

    I have a retina Macbook Pro, 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and have used numerous USB3 external hard drives with the same results.
    I record video with the Sony NX5U in 1080p AVCHD.  I use clipwrap to combine the clips that are larger than 4.x GB.
    On say a 10 minute clip, about 4gb in size, it knocks it out in 20 minutes, no problem.  Then it finds a 15 minute clip, which is a combined clip at 6GB, and it takes 4 hours.
    This is crippling in my workflow.  Any solutions?

    No ideas?  Anyone from Adobe? 

  • Media Encoder suddenly won't recognize Quicktime files...

    Hi there...
    I'm on a Mac, and out of the blue, Media Encoder suddenly doesn't recognize Quicktime .mov files.  It says this file format is not supported.  Which is weird, because it was supporting it just fine this morning!  Does anyone know what might be wrong or how to fix this?
    Thanks for your help! 

    Im having the same issue.  Were you able to resolve it?

  • Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on facetime?

    Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on FaceTime and tries to constantly reconnect?

    Does it happen anywhere that you use FaceTime or only in your home WiFi network? If it happens with your home network, have you tried power cycling your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
    Turn WiFi off and on in the settings. Reset the network settings.
    Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 update and Media Encoder update fail to install

    Hi -
    I've been updating my CC applications. But PP CC 2014 and media Encoder say: "UPDATE FAILED". Naturally I cannot get through to Abobe. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Hi Harry,
    Sorry, chat and phone support are closed on weekends for the video queue. We only have general support open on weekends. It's been this way for years. Sorry if that caused some inconvenience.
    I hope you have solved your issue. If on Mac, you can update NVIDIA drivers in the NVIDIA control panel in System Preferences. AMD GPUs are merely updated when you update OS X.
    Also, please check out the doc that was recommended: Installation failed. Error U44M1P7 | Updates
    If you are still having trouble, contact us Monday through Friday 7AM-7PM PST here: Contact Customer Care
    If you can't get your issue solved, send me a PM and I'll try and help.
    BTW, I am not sure why your post is marked as correct. I do have that ability but did not do that. Sorry for that.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Why does my encode look bad?!?

    OK! Here are my problems.
    My source material is a Quicktime movie, Animation codec, rendered from After Effects. 1280x720 at 23.976fps. It looks great. The duration is about 3 minutes in length.
    I have taken that footage and encoded it using Sorenson Squeeze 5 into .mp4 files (h.264) using the Sorenson codec, the Main Concepts codec and the Apple codec. All at VBR rate of 20Mbits.
    Problem #1: Importing pre-encoded files into Encore results in Encore wanting to transcode them again. I never had this problem with SD DVDs, but it seems I cannot import h.264 files without Encore wanting to re-encode them.
    Problem #2: Well, I guess I am stuck using Encore's built in encoder. This sucks because I like the additional controls I have encoding using Sorenson. Sooooo, I transcoded my uncompressed Apple Animation Quicktime file and then I built a folder.
    The problem with #2 is that Encore's encode looks like crap. Text and images clearly appear aliased. Maybe it is converting the video to 50i instead of keeping it at 24p, but my project settings are clearly set for 24p. As a test, I used the VLC player to play the files out of the encoded folder as well as within the Encore environment.
    So, first of all, why won't Encore work with my files I encoded/transcoded in Sorenson Squeeze? I know these files are encoded great, they look great... what's up?!?!
    Second, anyone else experiencing odd issues with transcoding in Encore?
    Thanks everyone.

    John,
    Ok. Here is our production process for the majority of our work:
    1. Sources are either still pictures, vector art, or 24p (23.976). We are pretty effect heavy, so virtually everything gets finished in After Effects. We used to utilize higher-end software, but these days AE works fine for 90% of the workload.
    2. We then render to Quicktime - Animation - 100 quality. This is a lossless codec and gives you some pretty huge files. We tried AVI files, but those ended up larger. We render to 23.976 progressive, no fields at all.
    3. Into Sorenson Squeeze where we encode into On2 .fla files to display in Flash. Soon we will dual encode in On2 and h.264 for use in Flash. If the end-user is running the newer Flash 9 player, it will pull the h.264 files otherwise it will run the On2.
    Now, everything we author is at 720/24p. For the web we pretty much just half the vertical and horizontal resolution (640x360). But for Blu-Ray, we have our source Quicktime animation at full 720/HD resolution.
    4. We now open the Quicktime (Apple Animation Codec) into Preimere where we just drop it on the timeline and use the Adobe Media Encoder to generate a Blu-Ray H.264 file. We make sure to uncheck the deinterlace button as it is on by default (even known the source is progressive). This is where Encore fails. Encore seems to deinterlace period, so if your source is already progressive, Encore does a great job of making it look worse by deinterlacing non-interlaced footage.
    (Note: Make sure when you encode in Premiere that your maximum bit rate on export is not greater than what you set in Encore or else Encore might transcode again)
    5. Import your files into Encore. Your video file and audio file will be two different files. Oh, to encode in Dolby Digital out of Preimere you need a license. We have the Master Collection, but I am not sure if we got a license for that included? However, I am sure you can load up a number of other applications to generate your Dolby digital audio file if you need that. We use used PCM for these jobs, seemed fine.
    Burn your Blu-Ray.
    Things that still don't work:
    h.264 content seems to only import from Premiere properly. I have used a number of encoders now to create Blu-Ray compliant h.264 and every time Encore wants to re-transcode them. Come on Adobe! This bug deserves a patch, seriously.
    If you use a progressive clip as an animated menu, Encore deinterlaces it!! And I cannot find a way, at all, to get around that. Again, come on. What is up with the deinterlacing by default in Encore. Even when I need footage deinterlaced Encore is the last tool I would want doing the job!
    Blu-ray authoring in Encore is slow. Moments before you will be in Premiere and then when you move to Encore it will feel as though your working through a molasses filter. In addition, Encore is flaky and sometimes your projects will get weirded out and you have to re-build them from scratch.
    How about this, new rule, all Adobe employees are required to build 5 blu-ray discs this month. Two of them have to have animated backgrounds. Three should be built with progressive source material, one with interlaced material and one with mixed material. All of them should have professional video quality in the final disc.
    Now, report to yourselves the massive amount of bugs you find and get them fixed. You will probably need to put a large portion of your workforce in therapy after being subjected to this process... just FYI.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC Fails To Dynamically Link Embedded AE Comps Within PR.

    When launching a PR project in Media Encoder to kick off a render.  The dynamic link engine loads the PR sequence just fine but during the render it fails to read any clips that were "relaced with AE comp", instead inserting an "offline media" plate.  Launching the PR project and reviewing as well as rendering from within PR works fine.  Please note that this worked fine in Adobe Media Encoder CS6.
    *****Edit
    In doing some tests to consistently replicate the problem, it turns out that AE CC has to be open WITH the replaced clip comps loaded at the time PR OR Media Encoder is running with projects that contain the "replaced with AE comps" footage.  Repeating the test with AE CC closed at the time yields the "offline media" result.  This is definitely a bug I'd say.  AE should not have to be launched with the project files loaded up in order for any dynamically linked comps to work.
    ****Edit 
    Please note the entire product chain is CC.  Thank you.

    Update.....
    Problem solved.
    It turns out that any dynamically linked CC apps must be run by the same user on the same machine in order to work properly.  In this case, PR and AME were being run as a standard user on the workstation while AE was being run as administrator via the shortcut launch properties.  The latter being necessary to have certain plugins function properly in AE CC.  Modifying the AE shortcut to not run as administrator resolves dynamic linking issues.
    Although it can be argued that logically all Adobe apps should be run by the "same user" on the workstation, it would be nice for the dynamic link engine to be more "real world" about linking projects on the same workstation in the case where a particular resource needs to be launched as an administrator.  Security considerations in towe, this ain't top secret government or banking data risk management folks.  Lighten up.  Maybe a little warning box that pops up and says "such and such needs to be run as administrator....do you allow?".....after all this is EXACTLY what the OS does anyway when you launch as anyone other than the administrator from a shortcut.  Quite reasonable for you (Adobe) to simply cascade the behavior.
