Export to Panasonic P2 Crashing
Hello,
I have an DVCPRO HD 720p project setup with some HDV footage in it. I’m using this project to use the Export to Panasonic P2 feature so that I can better use this footage with other P2 720p files.
This export goes for any random amount of time, then Premiere Pro will crash due to the file ntdll.dll . Any ideas?
This is putting 100% load on my Q6600 quad-core the entire time, but so do other exports that don’t crash.
The last time it crashed, it happened at 95% completion, which took about 2 hours.

Have you tried exporting without the HDV footage?
P2 is in is infancy in Premiere, there are other issues such as unlinking and relinking that are causing crashes. I even have seen a couple of crashes when importing too many clips, although not lately.
I find that the export to P2 stops working if I mix in QT animation as well. I hope these bugs will get worked out on the next version…

One last thing, is your timeline render setting set to uncompressed or DVCPRO HD ?
Try deleting the render files, then render again (to DVCPRO HD) before export.

Well, I’m just doing this to convert HDV, so doing an Export without HDV isn’t an option.
Are you saying I should render the work area before I do the Export to P2? Doesn’t the Export to P2 do the same thing at the same time? If I wait the time for the Render Work Area to complete, does this speed up the Export to P2?
-
Yes, it will speed up rendering. So, let me get this straight… You are working in a P2 timeline or HDV timeline ?
I’m guessing HDV since the aspect ratios and decoders have nothing in common. If that’s the case, that’s pushing the P2 export even further to the edge, I didn’t even know that would work.
I did get the QT animation footage to export to P2 after rendering, so you may want to try exporting to that first instead of directly to P2. Either way, I hope you’re not on a deadline.
Cheers,

Haha, no pressing deadline.
It’s a DVCPRO HD 720 Project and Timeline with HDV 1080i footage in it. I’m doing the P2 Export to convert it to 720p.
We have a Matrox RT.X2 and for whatever reason, the Export to Panasonic P2 is grayed out completely while not in an Adobe editing mode.
If I can get all of my assets the same type (720p in this case), the RT.X2 can allow real-time editing much better.

Got it… Well, again, the intermediate QT animation export should work. Though, unless your final format is DVC PRO HD, you will really take a quality hit on the HDV.

Just a little update…
With 2 hours of HDV 1080i footage in this 720p project, it took about 10 hours to render the preview files.
Then, doing the Export to Panasonic P2 took about 5 hours. I have no idea why it takes this long… CPU usage sky rockets to 100% for all four cores (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 Ghz).
I guess doing the render preview didn’t help much, except that so far it hasn’t crashed.
I thought about just grabbing the preview renders and using those, except the filenames are all weird.

Actually, I lied… It takes the same 10 hours to Export to P2. I forgot that I only did half of it for that 5 hour number.
