Media Encoder Bizarre Problem
Hello all,
Been dealing with a pretty infurating problem for the last week. Trying to export F4V’s and h.264 mp4’s from premiere CS4 using AME. The project is pretty huge, almost 500 elements, and it’s in HD. Problem is, when i export to AME, the video begins to render and works fine, then gets almost to the end and fails. No error code, no freezing… the timeline just STOPS. I can pause and restart… nothing. When i hit stop, THEN AME freezes and crashes, along with Premeire. Some of the videos have worked just fine, others havnt. As a workaround for the last 2 that didnt, I exported the timeline into to separate quicktime animations, then reimported them, put them in a timeline, and exported that… no problem. I’m at the end of my rope here… please help!!!

Got a similar one. First, close your Premiere before starting the queue. Actually, I think it wouldn’t even start properly if this was the problem – next thing: My problem were two similar plug-ins on one clip. Check the point according to the crash point – that’s all advice I can give. The emergency solution is to export in separate files (I go for about 6 minutes at a 33min-short), re-import the clips in a new project and export one file. That’s what I did, and I even had crashes in those separate files – restart, export again and there was my movie!
(Don’t export while you’re sleeping. You wouldn’t wanna know my opening-night-nightmares.) -
I was having problems exporting and was able to narrow it down(with the help of Adobe phone support) to a problem with encoder and frame holds/clip speed adjustments.
Does your timeline have any frame holds or clips that have been slowed down or speed up?
If so export frame holds as .tif/jpeg etc. and re insert into the timeline. For clips with adjusted speed try exporting just the clip at the desired speed (try using AE if premiere will not export these smaller files) then re-importing into your original project.
