Premiere Pro output failure
This is more a post just to see if anyone else has experienced this. Longtime FCP 6/7 user just migrated to Premiere. Using 64 bit PPro CC 2014 on Win 7, I’m working with several hours of XDCam footage. Have very few effects besides CC, and NO plugins. Premiere has been remarkably stable and fluid in playback.
During the last 2 weeks, I’ve output 12 rough/fine cuts of my cuts in a row with no problems. Amazingly fast outputs as .wmv files. Then suddenly on output #13 the output module stops at 9% output and won’t proceed beyond that, though Premiere itself is not “locked up”. I can cancel the output and restart, but it hangs again at 9% complete and won’t move beyond that.
I reboot my computer twice, and trash the Premiere prefs. Output still hangs. I try an intermediate output as a QT Animation codec (I mean, who CAN’T spit out something as a QT animation codec, that’s basically just a collection of frames). Output failure/error on QT creation. Will not spit out any QT formats.
Finally had to convert the Premiere Pro Composition to an After Effects composition and spit out a QT movie from there. Finally. 8hrs of frustration.
Anyone have regular problems with Premiere and output failures? Is there an known bug in the output module? Missed a client deadline today, and I’ve almost never done that. Can’t ever remember FCP not being able to export a movie.

Sounds like either a piece of corrupt media or perhaps its time to clean your media cache which you can do in the media preferences.

Clean my media cache? First I’ve heard of that. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks Dennis.

Ok, clearing out the memory cache seemed to be the fix. Thanks again! I suppose over the 8 days of editing suddenly a corrupt rendered file was created, because I had been outputting the same footage with no problems up until that point.
Hadn’t realized until your post that, like AE, Premiere Pro allowed you to clean out the memory cache.
