Export to Media FAILS in AME

[Brock Jolet]

I was able to pull my entire Premiere Project into After Effects in an attempt to render from there. However, all of the minor color correction that I had done was lost and many of my effects (i.e. dissolves and audio fades) were lost.

This is a last option to use as I will need to repair all of the effects that I’ve already done and it still doesn’t solve the problem with AME.

Any help?

I would like to express my thanks to Bill Clark. Further investigating brought me to his post on a different thread that solved the issue.

Here’s a copy of his original post.

Re: CS4 Premiere Won’t Encode Videos..

OK, believe it or not, 5 mins after I posted my rant I managed to solve my problem. It had nothing to do with all the stuff that everybody on the web was suggesting about re-installs and clean scripts. Something much simpler. I have a few plug ins on AE – Sapphire, Magic Bullet etc and I realised that every adobe programme was loading them on start up. And I kept getting an error message from Premiere Pro and Media Encoder about Magic Bullet looks – that it wasn’t registered. It was driving me nuts because it is. I reinstalled everything twice, and during this process spotted that Adobe is now putting all the plug ins in a central folder – which it refers to as media core. This on a Mac is at Macintosh HD/Library/Application Suport/Adobe/Common/Plug ins/CS4. (There might also be a CS3 file as well)

It occurred to me that this might be causing confusion – Media Encoder trying to load plug ins that it doesn’t understand and might not be licensed for in the XML file. So I pulled them out of there and put them straight into the AE CS4 plug in folder. Bingo. All the plug ins run fine – AND SO DOES MEDIA ENCODER! And now, no problems at all with the dynamic links between AE, Premiere Pro and ME.

I’m not saying this is the solution for everyone – but it’s worked for me. Hope it helps somebody.

Over and out.

You may need to import the project into a new one as the project itself may be corrupted.

How long is the project?

Are you running the most upto date version of Premiere Pro 4.2.1 and AME 4.2?

If only 1 of these apps are updated and the other is not then you will have issues exporting.

The versions talk to each other respective of the same dot point number update.

Hello Jon…Thanks for your advise…by the way my project runs a total of 1:26 mins. I compile the whole individual clip it’s total file size is more 100 GB’s plus. So is it the file size that AME can’t handle ‘coz i try export a 1 separate clip which just run 6 minutes clip it export/encode it…Also my version is already updated both Premiere and AME.

Thanks
Ian
