[….Srcpp\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114] Dropped Frame CS3 Rendering Error
So, I recorded a small film (~15 minutes) on a Kodak Zi8 camcorder. I loaded it all into Premiere Pro CS3 fine, and I have it all in the timeline just fine… except I can’t export it.
The Zi8 recorded in 720p H.264 mode, and when I try to export the whole timeline, the computer gives me the [..\..\Src\pp\\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114] error, then says a frame was dropped. I thought the length of the clips was the problem, so I broke them up into 3/4 minute chunks. Still same problem. It’ll stop whenever – not always at the same spot, give the error, then stop rendering. I’m trying to export it as a Quicktime H.264 HD video.
I have a Dell Inspiron 530s running Windows 7 Professional, Core 2 Duo 2.53Ghz, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, ATI Radeon HD 3450 video card.
So far, I tried making the video into 3-4 minute clips, but that didn’t help. I also tried dropping a transparent video layer on top of the whole thing (in case it had something to do with a dropped frame) but it still gave me the error. I also changed the rendering mode to “Memory” instead of “Processor” but to no avail…
I’m stuck. Part of me thinks it’s just because I don’t have enough memory to render, but I close out of every other program while I’m rendering. Plus, this is a relatively new computer. I purchased it back in November of 2008, and it has a dedicated video card.
Any suggestions? This video is for a class project and it’s due in a couple weeks!
Thanks in advance guys,
Christian

I’m thinking that CS3 may not play very nicely with H264 source footage.
You either need a newer version of PPro, or you need to convert your footage into something that PPro will play nice with (likely DV) to make it work for you.

What (free!) program would I use to convert the video into a PPro friendly format?
I wish Premiere would’ve told me this before I edited all of it… but alas, that is life.
