  • Media Encoder: Encoding Failed

    Hi there. I am having an issue exporting a project out of Premiere Pro CS4 via Media Encoder. When I render with Media Encoder, it seems to be doing fine until the very end, when the encoding fails. When I click on the red ‘X’ that shows up in the status column, it gives a rundown of the project and why it failed. For this project, it simply says ‘the operation was interrupted by user’. But this can’t be true. Since it was a very long video, I started the render and left it overnight so it would be done in the morning. I have done this before and it works great. I have my Macbook Pro set so the computer never sleeps during a render, so that isn’t an issue. When I woke up and checked my laptop, there was no trace of the rendered file to be found. It was originally set to save to my desktop, and even showed up while it was rendering.

    I would appreciate any help I can get. I would like to know what to do before I start another 12-hour render. Thank you in advance.

    I too have experienced this phenomenon. I believe it to be something in some external hard drives that for a moment enter a “sleep” mode during very long renders.

    Make sure the power settings for the mac are set to not sleep the hard drives. That slight loss in power is enough to confuse AME and cancel the render.

    For some odd reason this is not an issue during the day. It seems to be a night thing.

    Win7 had similar power saver settings too. Internal drives don’t seem to be affected by this power dip…

    Good luck. – JB
