CS3 Render issue
Hello all,
I have been running Premiere CS3 without problems for over a year until now. I cannot get past a message “Application failed to return a video frame” no matter what output setting I try. I have rendered the video before without issue in both .WMV & MPEG2 formats. I have since added a title, removed it when I first got the error and have been cutting out pieces of video trying to get past the error point in the render. It just seems to be cascading thru the timeline. On an MPEG2 render, the first pass goes fine and the second pass gets to roughly 85% before reporting the error. There is a patch available from Adobe and that has been loaded prior without change. I have no problems with any other applications in CS# or the system in general. I have plenty of disk space available. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

This error has been a bogyman for Premiere for several versions and I have never seen it until last week. I rechecked my export settings and found the Frame Rate was set to 23.96, instead of 29.97. I reset and exported fine.

I struggled the last few days with the exact same problem. Randomly the “Application failed to return a video frame” message popped up.. Did not matter which format I was exporting too (Adobe Media Encoder, FLV or WMVs) or XVID, DIVX etc.. they all bugged out at random points (although always at sequence changes) in the timeline.
Up until the moment I noticed the crop options on the Export Settings screen – I saw it wasn’t at default settings! I must have accidently touched it or something like that. It was set to crop 4 pixels from the left side. I changed this back not expecting it to fix any of my problems, BUT IT DID!
I spent quite a lot of time fiddling with options until that point. Setting Premiere Pro to memory optimization and changing codecs and whatnot did not help at ll. This seemingly unrelated crop option did however. 🙂

Thank you Mike and Denise for the help! I checked my settings and ended up matching the “Advanced Tab” setting with basic CBR settings, as close as possible anyway, and the video renders fine everytime.
