Adobe Premiere CS4 Exporting HD Issues
Hello,
I’m at my wits-end completely here.
I have edited a short film, 7 minutes long, in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The footage was shot on a Sony WEX3, HD, with the video files being mp4.
When I try to export it as either an AVI, a WMV or an MPEG, it only transcodes so far and eventually just pauses and then crashes.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
Here is my PC specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 1Processor: AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.20GHz
Memory (Ram): 4.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit operating systemThank you.

Hey Fraser,
I’m a little confused, you say the files are mp4’s? Were they captured by Premiere Pro? I thought PPro only captured MPEG2’s for HD.
I always export my HD projects as MPEG2 with the HDTV1080 Progressive (Match your frame rate) preset. I love the results. A 7 minute HD .AVI film would be an ungodly huge file size, I would never even try it. Try the MPEG2 with either the Full HD (As above) or regular HD preset(HD 720)and see if that make any difference.
Hope this helps.

I imported the mp4 files into adobe premiere CS4 and they imported just fine.
I plugged the camera into my PC via USB and copied the video files across to the hard drive.
I’ll try the settings you suggest,
Cheers
Fraser

[Fraser Coull] “it only transcodes so far and eventually just pauses and then crashes.”
When you say so far, how far is that? right at the begining? midway? toward the end?
-
It’s about midway.
Funnily enough last night I tried the dynamic link and sent the sequence straight to adobe encore and it worked fine after a while, but it still doesn’t seem to want to export as an avi, or an mpg2 etc to my desktop.
Any thoughts?

If it stalls around the same spot, there might be a particular file that’s corrupt and won’t render. Jpg files will create some problems if they are too big. See if you can narrow down an area inthe timeline that might be a corrupted file and unlink those clips without deleting them. Then choose replace to link them again.

I agree with Jon, check the obvious, defragment, restart the computer as well do a “C” drive check for errors, it has worked for us.
good luck

I would try disabling the Automatic Save Option in the Properties Section,Ie., for all projects as it has a tendency to stop Exporting at times, there have been issues there

Ps. i would disable “Auto Save” during editing on the timeline as well.
