Adobe Media Encoder problems!
PC specs: Intel 3.2 Ghz quad core, 16 Gigs RAM, WIN 7 64bit, 2 1.5 TB hard drives, both partitioned 1st drive: C/D/E 2nd drive: F/G
Running Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (no bundle).All programs are on C drive in Programs (x86) folder.
I have a Premiere Pro CS4 project on my D drive. It’s 3 hours long.
Everytime I try to export even a short clip out of it, the Encoder window opens. I set everything accordingly. When I click to encode, the queue opens. The status says encoding, but the video preview box takes forever to come up! I hate Encoder! Why did Adobe go with that anyway? Is CS5 any better?Thanks,

I’m not sure what the issue is, but AME has been very reliable for us in two edit suites, one running CS5 and one running CS5.5. There are some features we’d like to see added to achieve parity with other media encoders, and we’ve been submitting them to Adobe, but overall the solution has been a fast, predictable one.
It can, on occasion, take a while for the encode to start depending on the project length even in CS5/5.5. We recently rendered out a 1080p30 timelapse video (with some 2000+ 5MP stills on the timeline) and while it was only about 4 minutes long, it would take a while to “send/queue” to AME and then just a long to get started, this on a current-gen Mac Pro with 24GB of RAM and using fast drive arrays and SSD scratch/destination disks.
If you do wait, does it work or does it crash?

There is no intuitive interface, not even the nipple. It’s all learned. – Bruce Ediger -
Video clips should ALWAYS be on a physically separate drive away from the C: Drive – partitioning doesn’t count.
That said, in the Export window, you should have two buttons at the bottom, “Export” and “Queue”. “Export” should export directly without launching Media Encoder.
