OMF Export issue
ok… (deep breath)
basically im trying to export an OMF from a timeline that runs an hour 30 ish, i go export omf. i set my preferences and i wait
invariably it hangs or gives me an error message saying ‘ppro has encountered a serious error and must close’
clearly ..
has anyone run into this one ? any solutions?
the job needs to get the hell out of premiere and into nuendo, which i would have done with an AAF export but WAIT! they removed it in CS4
pardon my language but im at a f**king impasse with this software, basic features and functions DO NOT WORK as described
if i can dump out a 2 hour OMF from nuendo in about 15 minutes then doing a similar job in premiere cant be that hard ? can it ? well ??
… i suspect ill be crying myself to sleep tonight

Have you tried doing it in smaller sections? Or just one tack at a time? Of course it should work and the error messages are maddeningly vague, but chances are there is just on audio clip that’s screwing the whole thing and you’ve got to isolate it.
Adobe says there is an AAF Plugin for CS4 Windows:\

But I’ve never seen it. -
workarounds workarounds… its finally going out in 20 minute pieces . . .
and yeah
the AAF is a weird one. . . i dunno where it is but its not where adobe says it is

ahh premiere, the program we love to hate
got one omf out, went to do the second one and premieres saying its outta memory.
judging from the task manager i suspect theres a bigass memory leak in the omf exporter at worst, at best its just not handing the ram back to the system when its done with it which means
close project,
reopen project, wait 20 minutes for project to load (coffee and smoke)
export OMF.
close project . . .ahhh the joys of exporting

I know the feeling.
You could create an audio only timeline and then, using Project manager, create a new trimmed project of just that new timeline. It might take 20 minutes or less but then the project would open fast each time you have to close and reopen it. It might even solve the OMF export problem altogether. I used to do this all the time in the early days of the Avid when OMF first came out and it was really awful but still better than multiple passes to a DA-88 deck.

heh actually i already did Dave 🙂
its a big project unfortunately.. and a lot of the audio clips are coming off of video files . . it helped the load times a little (well 10 minutes less than the main timeline)
but its still a pain in the arse!
oh well 🙂

Well then, that is one big project.

tis indeed 🙂
id love to be able to pin down the cause, but it seems premiere just hates me when i give it really complex work
looks like a memory issue going by task manager, so maybe we’ll have to feed the beast some more RAM to keep it happy

on a side note, for everyone using nuendo, once you fight to get your OMF out of Premiere it comes into nuendo 4 very nicely

I tried several times export OMF from CS4.
Removed all effects, fades and timeremaps.
Splitted 3 parts, 10 minutes sequences.
Filled silence moments with offlines files.
Removed unused medias.But always PPro frozen when export OMF.
And finally, i find the way. This is the ram issue.
Restarting PPro solves the problem.Emrah Donmez
