CS4 Premiere Won’t Encode Videos..
-
Well it didn’t work for me and I am really frustrated now. I didn’t have a dynamiclink folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink so I created it and put in the shortcut and nothing. Same ol crap. Now is the shortcut suppose to just be the word “Premiere” with no extension or anything?
Many thanks,

Bill Clark,
you are my hero. my plug ins were the problem… to add to some people that might be experiencing them… SOME plug-ins can be in that media core file, but only the ones that are supposed to be… magic bullet looks and magic bullet misfire do work in there (maybe also depends on the version) but the datamator by red giant should not be in there.. but big help my media encoder was aggravating me now it works!
good luck!

Ok, I’m here to help others who have this problem too.
I’ve read all the discussions in here and here is my fix
I own a macbook pro 2.8ghz 4gb ram, snow leopard.Ran a clean install of cs4 on it and had got the same error. Never previously had cs3 or anything in it.
My workflow was to create everything in after effects and cut it in premiere pro then export.
Until I got the fatal error.I first tried to import my premiere pro project in after effects, but I had missing media because it was trying to refer to my ae project and vice versa, and everything got jarbled and missing.
YOu can’t really put a cookie into a jar and then put all of that back into the cookie… yahhh. I’m confused too.
The next thing I did was go to the media core folder and move the plugins out like in the earlier post and that worked! I just moved them to after effects plugins folder. I then re-opened premiere pro and apparantly I was using a plugin in premiere pro that I had forgotten about.
It was trapcode shine. I could have just used this in ae, but I did it later in premiere pro.
Anyways I just hit ok with the missing plugin, exported into media encoder and it started working!
Thanks everyone.
Hope this helps all the others out there.

How is everyone doing?
I know CS4 can be a pain, especially if there is a third party plug-in involved. Well that is kinda my point. I’m not too sure about Windows, but for Macs some third party plug-in get installed into the media core which isn’t to good if the plug-in isn’t compatible with all media apps. For instance, if you have installed magic bullet it will automatically install into your media in which your media encoder isn’t not compatible, therefore it won’t work. The best thing to do is move your plug-in to AE Pr or PS, and get it the hell out of your media core.MacHD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/plug-in/CS4/MediaCore
Copy to for instance
Application/After Effects/plug-ins
For Mac Users the problem is 9/10 a plug-in and this will fix your problem. -
thank you so much i was trying everything, since the most usual until the most extreme like scripts and so, but just remove the plugins, ha ha my tummy still has cramps, so easy to do but so hard to figure it out,
Thanks man you save me
p.s. and still loving my mac ha ha ha!
thank you so much

Thanks to all, I got hopeful there. But what if I said there are no files in my mac CS4 media core folder? I’m still really stuck…
As background, I (very much a mac noobie), recently installed Waves GTR Solo (free trial for 1 year version) which lapsed before I managed to get the free serial in and registered etc. The ‘trial has expired after 7 days’ message led me to try a new install but this failed to do the trick (one chance only at this it seems?). Anyway, I then decided to remove it, and being new to mac, uninstalled the app (perhaps incompletely or incorrectly by trash dragging). Not long after, while trying to use encoder to render out 5 video files in Premier Pro, I notice a blank dialogue box with the header ‘select waves 7.0 plug-ins’ or something to that effect, which hangs in front of all other work adn which is obviously searching for components? Maybe due to my deletion efforts? Some bits or one file – [Waves/Plug-in Settings/GTRSolo ToolRack Settings.xps] – are in the trash, but I dont know where they/it belong, nor how to remove traces of Waves plugins that Encoder CS4 might be looking for… I know my approach to removal of app was dumb, but maybe this is conected to my CS4 probs?
Can anyone help? Many thanks

As waves seems to be primarily an audio prog I can’t see how the two would be connected. If you dragged waves into the trash to deinstall then you could drag it back into to your applications folder to see if that helps. If not try a clean re-install of media encoder. I’m sure that if the waves uninstall did accidentally destroy any shared files a re-install would put them back. Good luck.

Thanks Bill.
Of course I went mad with more research between then and now and I have solved the problem. They were connected it seems, since (as I read somewhere), Encoder (and perhaps other elements of CS4) seem to be affected by the introduction of audio-plugins and search for them once they have been installed when they are doing their job… Having incorrectly uninstalled this plug-in/app, Encoder was hanging when it tried to cue items being exported to it for encoding from PPro (PPro was working fine)…
The solution was to read up on WAVES site about exactly where all the bits and pieces were distributed in my mac and to remove each one, though your idea would have worked too i now see…
It pays to uninstall the right way…
