API Failure!
————It happens every time I attempt to export my Premiere Pro CS4 Project – and I have exported many projects before that without fail. I have tried it on two computers, both have the same error – though it does seem to get further each time (or it just takes longer to get to that point?).
The HDD is nowhere near full, the export is only about 80mb in size with 300gb+ of free space, it runs by itself with no background Apps, and I have tried it on a fresh CS4 install as well.
Any clues?

I just had an API Error that I successfullly resolved. I was changing a HD 720P commercial to a 720×480 DV/NTSC pixel aspect to try to get it to spec for a local TV station that doesn’t use HD. After trying a load of changes, I found out it was the codec they wanted me to use that was the culprit. After returning to H.264 I could again do whatever I wanted. All that to say, change the codec? Also, I read not to use any ampersands or anything in the title.
Peace.
