Premiere Pro = Frusttration
Premiere pro is a pure frustration! Everytim I’ll try to render something out (Canon H264 and particular Quicktime Animation files) I receive an error message saying: Error compiling movie! This occurs with every output setting (tried even png imagesequence).
There are no gaps in my projects (empty tracks), I tried everything that was mentioned on the various adobe and forum sites nothing worked! I know because this problem appeared on two differen pcs and even different projects!! The problem should come from the Adobe QT server process that is crashing all the time (it’s the process responsible for the quicktime files)..
Has anybody any idea? I’ll definetly change to FC it seems to much more stable! I don’t neeed native editing with Canon files (which doesn’t even work)

Well…it isn’t something inherent in CS5 itself as I (and many others) seem to be able to cut DSLR footage unremarkably and output it.
So…you’re attempting to output all these formats through QT? (From the media encoder)…or did you try to encode PNG sequence directly out from the PNG selection in the top level of the media encoder’s format list?
I have seen where certain effects used in combinations will once in a while cause some inexplicable hang up. The “crop” effect does seem to be a handfull to crunch in certain circumstances…which is some sort of bug, but CS5 has no inherent instability specifically with QuickTime, though it does take some accomodation to write around it as it isn’t 64 bit and the basic framework for anything pre-QTX is closing in on 20 years old.
If you’ve tried formats outside of the QT export options (say straight to WMV or MPEG2..), and you are still seeing the issue, I’d start trying small work area runs at various points on your timeline, and you should be able to at least determine what on the timeline is causing the issue.

You might want to try uninstalling and reunstalling Quicktime player (after updating Adobe software to the latest versions). This took care of a few issues for me.
