Failed Export – Suggestions?? Need solution ASAP.
Source File is a 1280 x 996 (29.97, square pixels) wmv file created through Go To Webinar, which I then edited in Premiere Pro CS3 (on a Dell laptop)
Project is 720 x 480,”Fit”, 29.97, square pixels.
Original audio was poor quality and contained re-takes, so I used “render and replace” to edit audio in SoundBooth (CS3).
Edit divides the source file into two parts. Part one of the edit is about 40 minutes, Part 2 is roughly 20 minutes.
Edit is pretty basic, some crossfades, a handful of extra images, etc.
I have been able to render the project within Premiere Pro. However, for some reason, I cannot seem to get it to export the project without crashing.
It gets about 60% through, then crashes. I’ve attempted to fix the frames where the crash occurs, but it seems to be inconsistent. I fix one, and then it crashes at another frame the next time.
Export settings are 720 x 480, fit, 29.97, square pixels, Video – “constant”, 2 passes, Image Quality max, Maximum bitrate 256 (though I have tried higher as well, and that also crashed). Audio – “constant”, 2 passes, 48 stereo CBR.
I have tried exporting a variety of ways, including Export – Movie – Quicktime.
Desired file format is wmv or other You-Tube compatible format.
Thoughts??
Need solution ASAP…

Try putting the WMV file on separate sequence by itself and export to AVI with compression set to none. If it crashes at that point, then you know it’s the WMV file and you’ll have to convert it before getting it into Premiere.
If it does export, then replace the WMV file with the new one in your edit and see if things improve.

Thank you, Vince! I am trying this now…

Hi, Vince! I tried exporting the wmv file to an uncompressed avi file as you suggested, but it crashed again, about 12% of the way through.
I had also tried exporting as frames, but that crashed about 10% of the way through.
Any other suggestions?
