Unable to solve exporting issue – “Error Compiling Movie”

[Timbot]

Thanks for all your help guys!

I think I have sorted it out!

What I have done, is exported the seven minute bracket as an uncompressed AVI. This worked fine, but as you can imagine, the file was HUGE. Thankfully I have an extra, barely used, hard-drive. I then imported the AVI back into the project, where it seemed to maintain its original quality. I then exported to H.264 and it came out pretty crisp.

Because there’s 13 22-minute episodes, obviously it’s going to be crazy, so after I eventually get each seven minute segment into H.264, I can delete the AVIs and move onto the next segment.

Ghobii, you are right about the large still images. I have been working with PNG files that are 1920×1080 res. They seem to get by ok, but sometimes I put in much larger ones and have them pan in and out etc. These ones have problems sometimes, and they often turn black or go upside down. I actually think they were contributing to my original problem too. I beefed my computer up with lots of RAM, so they aren’t too much of a hassle anymore.

I only bought the Premiere 2.0 upgrade recently and haven’t really been able to see many new features that appeal to me. 1.5 actually seems to work better, so I’m still using that. I might move onto 2.0 in my nexy project.

So thanks guys!

Please Help!
How did you export to dv100 or dvcpro hd QuickTime. I have the same “Unknown error” problem with a huge documentary project and have spent 3 weeks trying to reconfigure the system to get the errors on export to go away with no avail. I have an FCP 5 system that works very well. I am at the point if I could just get the project off in chunks in dvcpro hd I would be very happy to move on.

So, I didn’t see the dv100 codec in the QuickTime options in premiere pro 1.5. Maybe I just missed it but it would be a great thing to have. Please point me in the right direction.

I have a dual core p4D 3.0 GHz 3 gigs ram and lots of over a hundred gigs of free hard disk space. If there is a solution to get this thing of my PC to finish it I am game. I would even spend up to a 1000 on new computer parts if they would make the difference.

I also get that error PPro failed to return a video frame,,
