  • PPRO CS4 Project won’t lunch! Dead-Line is Today!

    OMG!

    I have been working on a PPRO project (CS4) Yesterday when I was working I tried to export media to adobe media encoder – but the encoder failed to export.
    Here is the report.

    – Source File: C:\Users\Ariel\AppData\Local\Temp\Shdema_4.prproj
    – Output File: H:\Premiere Projects\Shdema\Exports\Caroline Glick.wmv
    – Preset Used: PAL WMV CBR
    – Video:
    – Audio:
    – Bitrate:
    – Encoding Time: 06:09:23
    3/9/2009 1:28:33 AM : Encoding Failed
    —————————————————————————–
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    —————————————————————————–

    I thought to myself that this unstable encoder is making trouble – and tried to relunch PPRO.

    But I couldn’t! the project starts to load, but the progress bar stopped near the end.

    I looked at the DISK resource monitor – and after a while there is no disk activity.

    So I close PPro through the task manager.

    what to do?

    I tried to load an all auto-saved projects (about an hour from the last save.) But still same thing.

    I found in: “C:\Users\Ariel\AppData\Local\Temp\”
    a temporary save from 5 hours before the problem started.
    and I managed to make it load!
    but now I have trouble exporting this project – with the media encoder.

    something is wrong here – I don’t know what.
    What can I do!?

    this project is almost finished – and the dead line is TODAY!!!!
    Whats up with this CURSED MEDIA ENCODER!

    Please Help S.o.S!

    Hmmm…

    The project may have ultimately loaded…that delay may be indicative of some problem with the project.

    You could create a new project and import the existing project…

    If you wanted to try the existing project in a pinch, you could try this:

    Clear all rendered preview files.

    In the sequence settings, make the preview format as high quality as possible.

    Use the work area to ‘caliper’ sections of the timeline and render each segment.

    You can verify that you have video in the “preview file” folder wherever you have it set to go.

    You could then reload those clips in a new project.

    OR…you could see if the entire edited timeline would preview render by setting the work area over the entire thing…then the resulting preview render would be your clip and you could load it into the Media Encoder directly.

    There are other options i suspect, but this is what comes to my mind initially.

    Good luck.
