  Exporting problems in Premiere Pro CS5

  Posted by Elisha Kranz on January 3, 2012 at 5:18 pm

  Alright. Here’s a run down of the project.
  I’ve got clips from a variety of sources for a motivation speakers demo reel.
  It is 13:51 long.
  I’ve got clips that are .avi, .mov, and .mp4.

  Editing mode: DSLR
  Timebase: 29.97 fps
  1920×1080
  Codec is MPEG-1-Frame

  I’ve got some standard effects in there like cross fades and additive dissolves. The audio is also all different in the clips (It’s a cluster mess)

  So my problem comes in when I try to export. First, I tried just exporting straight out of Premiere Pro. It got to the end, meaning the yellow bar was finished, it said it was 100% done and there was no exporting time left, but the dialog box never closed and Premiere froze. So, I tried Media Encoder. It finished, but about 6 minutes in (around the time a .mov was in the piece, no idea if this means anything) the file refused to keep playing.

  So! I tried to cut it half, export each half, and then try again to export it as a whole. I got each half exported and then smashed them back together (they are .mp4s at this point, we do mostly online vids so we keep them small) and tried to export it as a whole once more. Same problem. I’m out of ideas.

  And just so you know, I’m still wrapping my head around codecs and exporting terms, so please be gentle. Thank you.

  whats the file size?
  i know that canon dslr’s have a recording size limit (around 11 minutes) this very unlikely why its not working.

  try a h264 codec or anyother still got the same problems.
  try playing with vlc?

  i have found sometimes i transcode a hd video and the bit rate is huge and my computer wont handle it even though its very powerful.

  as i say i would try a different codec first. sorry not much help

  Have you tried to clean the cache from the preferences?

  Then reboot.

  Let all the confirm files and indexing finish, might take a min or 2. Visit the dunny and come back.

  Once all’s re-cached, export! please report back

  Re cached and it didn’t work (though it seems to help some other performance things, or that just might be my imagination)

  The actual problem was the sequence settings. I realized it as I re-read my posts and all your suggestions. Thank you!
