Timeline rendering error
When I recently went to render the timeline so I could check the quality in “real Time”I got an error message that states”Error compiling movie” unknown error.
I then tried to render just 1 clip and a number of clips with the same result. I then restarted the program(Pro5.5) and I got this message, “The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project the scratch disks will be set to your documents folder. Would you like to continue? If I click yes, the sequence populates, everything is intact, but it will not render the timeline. I have set the work area up properly also to render the timeline.
Another trouble spot is that I did a stabilization of a aerial clip in after effects that worked out great. I did save it on the desktop(probably should be somewhere else that is unknown to me)and every time I reopen the project I need too click on the desktop AE file and the timeline sequence related to it goes green and shows rendered. It Seems that After effects stays open and keeps looking for somthing with no progress show in the progress window. I am however able to continue to edit.
I keep my video files on a 2 terabyte external firewired in hard drive.
Well this is a long detailed post and I do apologize as this seems to be a complicated problem.
A few saves back Premiere gave me a warning that there was a serious error in closing the program and I should save it as something else before working on the project again. It did seem to be working properly.
Any direction to take would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
“Clueless” Bruce
I am using Premiere on a IMAC 27… Thanks in advance for your help and accept my apology if you deem my inquiry unintelligent! I changed it from stupid… I much rather be unintelligent anyway.

Don’t worry about the The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable error at bootup. Go into scratch disc settings after launch and it’ll be fine. Some weird bug.
You’d think in 2011 they could get it right…
Is the AE clip a rendered mov file or via dynamic link? If it’s a rendered qt, put in on the externals with the rest of the media.

Chris. I did what you said to do, I think. But I have no real direction from you as what to do. So I went to the projects settings scratch disk window and changed it from docs to same as program. It won’t render, so I changed it back to docs and back to square 1.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TOO.

So, reboot.
repair permissions.
Relaunch app.
Let all media load b/4 doing anything.
With sequence selected, hit enter to full render.
Does it render then?Chris Tompkins

I am sorry but I don’t understand repair permissions. I rebooted the system I looked into it and should I apply it (what command) to the external hard drive? Will it change anything that will force me to redo the job? Or, am I looking to redo the whole thing anyway?
Thanks,
Bruce

I saw the permissions in the disk utility but the button is grayed out. I was able to verify the drive and it detected some errors but I can’t “repair” as it states it’s a read only. But when I looked up the properties (info) it said read write permissions.

You select your internal hard drive for the repair permissions. It does not alter anything related to your projects or files. It cleans up the OS structure files to make it happier. Or something like that.

Well I went back in and it wont render the sequence or any part thereof. i tried individual clips and none are working.
I do have mixed original footage, P@ stukk from a GoPro and some time lapse jpg’s in a short sequence.
The other big ? is if I move forward editing will I be able to clear the problem later, or redo the whole piece…
I am going to check other seq’s and projects and see if I can render anything.

Well Jack. I have been getting a few answers but the holiday jumped in…
Been down a few paths… “0”
Had a “serious problem” while attempting to quit premier, again.
I bought back into the Mac platform. I didn’t think it would be this fraught with errors.
Misery loves company… sorry you are having the same problem. I cross posted the problems and I’ll probably be slammed out for it, in Premiere Pro forum.
Jack, I was asked to put the system I was using in my signature.
Against the wall here. Keep me posted.
I am using Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5 on a IMAC 27, Intel core i5 2.7 GHz, 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3… OSX 10.6.8
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bruce
