Premiere Pro :: Media Encoder Crashes On Batch Sequence Export
Jan 21, 2014
I edited an online video dictionary (about 7,500 five second clips) and have them all in sequences in Premiere pro CC waiting to be exported. I hae been battling for two weeks now day in and day out to try and export... I am limited to batch exporting this project and have never had problems with adobe softwares in five years ( a great track record). I have tried many ways of importing or exporting the sequences to Media Encoder CC, and have experienced crashes every single export attempt. As soon as I add more than 5-10 clips the program crashes when I start the que. I badly need to deliver this product, any patch that will keep ME from crashing when you add more than a couple clips?
I have quite a few merged clips that the director wants me to export so that he can watch them elsewhere than the suite. If I export them individually within Premiere CC I have sound on the exports but if I use the queue function that opens Media Encoder they are mute of audio.....is this because they are merged clips?
is there a workaround other than doing them one at a time as there is alot of clips.
When I use export media in Pr CS6 and use custom settings (H.264) and click Queue when it arrives in Media Encoder none of the custom settings are there, instead it always defaults to .F4V.
when I export a timeline to Media Encoder queue, the video renders out with no audio.I have not found a repeatable way to replicate this, but when it happens, it really blows up my workflow.
Typically I: Import a ProRes 1080 clip into a fresh timeline, and only trim down the ends. Audio and Video playback great in premiere. I then, without changing anything, export to media encoder queue in h.264 1080p OR 720p (vimeo preset).
The queue runs and bang, video file with no audio.
My extended workflow is as such - once the h.264 file has arrived in the folder (it is a watchfolder), there are presets set to create OTHER Files - wav for CD, mp3 for podcast, DVD for distro, mp4 for podcast. So, as you can see, it snowballs into a trainwreck. I would also automate/schedule the podcast postings, but obviously I can't rely on media encoder/premiere to do it's job.
I even got to point to where I reboot the machine right before each original capture begins, but the error is always in the first render out of premiere.I dropped the capture into a timeline, exported as usual, and got a bad render. Did it again, this time moving the audio down a track. Still a bad render. Rebooted the Mac, tried it all again, and finally got a working render. This is the first time it has happened TWICE in a row, and I'm getting tired of it, as these renders are fairly long.
For the longest time if I ever tried to export or render a video longer than 5 minutes, my Premiere Pro or Media Encoder crashes. I don't know why but it is EXTREMELY irritating when attempting to make lengthened gaming videos. I have tried 15 different methods all online, to no avail. It always crashes around the 40% mark in Adobe Premiere and it isn't a corrupt project.

My current workflow is to use 3ds max to render image sequences of animation, then to use Media Encoder to convert them to mov files using the Quicktime Animation codec. The problem is that using these clips in Premiere prevents me from scrubbing the sequence timeline fluidly, even tho all of the files are being accessed from a Thunderbolt drive on a Macbook Pro. Even opening them in the Quicktime player causes sluggish playback. The images rendered are 1280x720. Because of the animation being frame based, I need the derived video to not drop frames like some codecs do, so the Quicktime Animation codec prevents that and it preserves the alpha channel in the images. So my question is, what can I do to improve this so that scrubbing the timeline becomes fluid?
I haven't been able to export (render) a small animation to Quicktime in Photoshop CC. I still have Photoshop CS5 installed and it is not a problem there. The only option I have in CC is to export to "Photoshop Image Sequence". Adobe Media Encoder is grayed out.
If it means anything, I'm using Windows 7 in a 32 bit environment, not 64.
My assistant and I are working on 2 different computers tied to a server. We need to be able to pass sequences back and forth. Unfortunately, Premiere seems to be adding the associated media files with each sequence import. Our project has fast become a mess of duplicate media. Also, I noticed this "new feature" listed on the Adobe site: An option has been added to not consolidate duplicates on import.Will this fix this problem?
I've got a project which has had all it's files relocated to a different location. The first time I opened the project I sucesfully relinked everything and it ran smoothly. Now if I open the project or any previous version of it, premiere tells me that all the files are 'PROCESSING...' and show the question mark logo beside them in the media browser. (when I open the project Premiere doesn't notify me that the files are offline)
When I try to relink the files through the media browser panel they all say 'PROCESSING...', as soon as I click OK after locating the file the Apple spinning wheel of death appears and the program becomes non respondant and needs to be force quit.
I've tried opening previous versions of the project, importing the project into a new blank project and restarting the computer...nothing works!
I'm running a 13" MBP quad core i5 with most recent version of Mountain Lion (haven't updated to Mavricks as I think i'd have more problems if I did!) and the most recent version of Premiere CC.
What to do when trying to import a jpeg photo through the media brower and PPCS6 crashes? It all started when the program crashed while I was editing. I installed an upgrade to CS6 and rebooted. After that I could not import photos into the project.
I'm trying to export a sequence as XML, but no matter what I try, it exports the wrong sequence. I've tried selecting the sequence in the project panel, then hitting export, and I've also tried opening the timeline and exporting from there.
The sequence being exported is actually used at one point in the sequence I want to export, otherwise I would just delete it temporarily. I'm using Premiere CC 7.2.
So I shot all the footage in 1920x1080 and the client said they wanted 1280x720 .mov files as final output.I edited the 1080p footage in a 720p sequence so I could reframe a bit. Now they want 640x480 .mov as final output. I can easily find presets for .mp4 at 640x480 but I'm struggling to find a way to export at that resolution in .mov.
I have looked everywhere for instructions on how to export a premiere pro project and sequence, and associated media, to final cut pro on another computer. Exporting the xml does not include the media files. Therefore when my editor opens up the xml file it fails. I have a feeling I need to use Media Encoder to export the media associated with the project. Yet I cannot find any guides or instructions for how to undertake this. My editor is using FCP 7 on another computer in another place, so I need to export 8 sequences/projects *with their media* to him via the internet (dropbox) so that he can do a final edit on his machine. I would even be happy just to be able to export a working AAF since that option also hasn't worked for us.
1) Importing 1920 x 1440 GoPro footage, .mp4, 29.97 fps : What sequence settings do I need for this media? I can't find any presets that match it. So I just pick a 1440 x 1080 sequence. What should I be doing?
2) Exporting Media quality is very poor and pixelated. I am just importing a video into a sequence and exporting about 10 seconds at a time with different export settings: H.264/Match Source, Quicktime, H.264-Blu ray with different presets. And I'm checking "USe max render quality". Every time it renders very pixelated.
This weekend I went to render the fist vidoe and gotr an error message. "Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder".
I amusing the default settings in the render menu. Adobe media encoder - Quicktime - animation hight quality - document size 1920 x1080 - document frame rate 29.97 - field order progressive - aspect document 1.0 - all frames.
I recently installed Creative Suite CS6 Design & Web Premium. I had previously installed the CS5 version and had not un-installed it. Everything except Acrobat appeared to install correctly. When I opened Photoshop CS6 (64-bit) I noticed that it used the CS5 version Bridge.
I went into Bridge and unchecked the open at start box, closed Bridge and Photoshop and re-opened Photoshop CS6 (64-bit). When I tried to lunch Bridge from Photoshop the following message appeared in the Desktop> panel : Waiting for Bridge CS6..." Bridge CS6 did not appear despite waiting for several minutes.
I then pressed the Start button and went into the Programs listing. Under the Adobe CS6 group I found all of the applications (other than Acrobat) but Bridge CS6 (64-bit), Bridge CS6, and Media Encoder each had generic icons rather than the expected relevant Adobe icons. I tried to load each of the three by clicking on the icon. In each instance the following message appeared:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.
My system is a Gateway FX6802. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium version 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1, Build 7601.The system has 9 GB of memory. I ran CS5 on the system and did not experience any difficulty with Bridge.
I'v graded a video clip with a camera raw smart filter applied to it. I try to render it out in AME and it only renders 1 frame for the length of the video.
when I attempt to render an animation in Photoshop CC I am finding the Adobe Media Encoder option greyed out. The only available option is to render a Photoshop Image Sequence. In CS5 I was able to use the Media Encoder to render Quicktime movies directly from Photoshop. Why would this have changed? I'm on Photoshop CC 14.1.2, running on a Mac, OSX 10.9.
I have a Windows 8 64-bit system. Why Corel VideoStudio X6 has Windows Media Encoder 9 Series included in the installation package. It is not even supported on Windows 7 and 8. [URL]
I would like to know if it's possible to export a job script in PP so a batch process can run it after? A sort of script where all the operations on the video would be encoded in a sort of metadata. I am working at ubisoft and we have a lot of video to process and transcode and we use Media encoder and Premier and eventually, we would love to use the multi machine philosphy to optimize our productivity. Does PP or media encoder can be suitable for multi machines operations...maybe something like a cloud?
After selecting 2 (or more) files and right clicking and choosing Multi camera sequence from source, I drag the newly created sequence on to the time line but all I get is the two files on the time line stacked over one another. the sequence never gets created.
where when I try to export my video, I get a pop up window saying 'some media is offline, it will be rendered using the red media offline graphic'. in Premier pro all my media seems to be online, I have followed several different video tutorials on how to re-link media and the option to re-link media is greyed out for me as there is no media that is unlinked, so why does this message come up when trying to export? Playback in PP is fine, all media appears to be online.
Having viewed the exported video it seems that all the media which has been replaced by the red 'media offline' logo is all the .MTS files filmed on my Camcorder whereas all the GoPro footage is showing up correctly in the exported video.
Win 7. CC7.1...For specific reasons I created a new Project in Premiere CC7.1 and imported a single sequence from a CC project that had a lot of sequences (11)
This worked absolutely perfectly but I was surprised by 2 things ....that I do not recall happening in CS6 or any prior versions. ( I never did this procedure much though)
#1. The assets came in as if project managed. ie. Only the assets the sequence required. In this case a very small sub set of what was in the original project.That was very cool and made for a neat and compact project. I dont recall that in CS6 so if its a feature...I love it.
#2.The assets did not ingest in the new project in the Bin folders carefully named and organised in the original project.Not so cool in the case where one is using source footage with common file names (eg. AVCHD) and not so cool that it needs managing and sorting again.I think I recall assets imported in original folders in CS6 ...albeit...non project managed ie everything??? Part cool and part not!
Do wonder if #2 can be looked at as a possibility for a fix. It would be brilliant please Adobe.I created a new project and imported the sequence ( which was an edit lockdown) specifically for a Direct Link into Speed Grade.
It was an insurance measure in case of any issues that may have arisen. eg a corruption via the DL. workflow.the DL and SG are working on this brilliantly well.
Using CS6 Premiere Pro in Windows with the intent of making a DVD of the movie,how do I choose the Preset descriptions in the "New Sequence" screen? I assume I'm going to choose an AVCHD version, but don't have any idea what the differences are.
Ok, so I'm in the project panel, right? Minding my own buiz and doing what I do. I want to rename a sequence that I've instinctively named "fat chick" because, well, uh, she was a bit heavy (and in a bikini). Well, now I need to show the "fat chick" that's paying me what her sequence looks like. So I want to change "fat chick" to "cute lady" so she's happy. But guess what? I can right-click and hit rename, but I never get further than that. I can't rename it. So I had to show her the sequence and hope she'd only see the video, not the name of the sequence.
What's weird is I can rename a whole bunch of other sequences, but the other half of the time I can't. Oh, I can rename it if it's sitting in the timeline of another sequence... but it only changes it there in the timeline. (I've posted on this before I realize this is a limitation in Premiere). But this is different. I want to rename sequences from the project panel but can't.
Now she's all mad at me and threatening a lawsuit becaue I hurt her feelings, yada, yada. It's a disaster... all this because I couldn't change the sequence name.
Ok, so the story's made up, but the renaming problem is true. Is this a bug? How can I rename sequences when they don't want to be renamed and are perfectly satisfied with the first name I gave them?
I lost a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I was going to export a new sequence I created in a project. While I was doing it, the PC crashed.When I restarted premiere, my updated project file was gone and only an older version opened, where all my work was missing.
