Question

Hi, we have rendered around 50+ wedding movies in the last ranging 1-3 hours long videos, but since yesterday, when Im rendering its failing.

Not sure, whats wrong.

Here is an example.

We finished our Premiere Pro Work and exported it to media encoder h264, mp4 file.

Its 12GB file.

Media encoder showed me 12 hours rendering time, and it started.

It reached 92% after 9 hours and immediately stopped.

When I checked the folder, the final rendered file was missing and I saw this 3 files.

I guess, since the render did not finish successfully, those are unfinished files.

When I checked the logs, I could see this,

<code> - Source File: Sequence 01

- Output File: C:&#92;Users&#92;Joomla&#92;Documents&#92;Adobe&#92;Premiere Pro&#92;6.0&#92;piyush&#92;piyush_final_3dec.mp4

- Preset Used: YouTube HD 1080p 23.976

- Video: 1920x1080 (1.0), 23.976 fps, Progressive

- Audio: AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo

- Bitrate: VBR, 2 pass, Target 8.00 Mbps, Max 8.00 Mbps

- Encoding Time: 13:35:46

12/04/2013 06:02:21 AM : File Encoded with warning

------------------------------------------------------------

File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of piyush_final_3dec.mp4.  Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled.

Adobe Media Encoder

Could not write XMP data in output file.

------------------------------------------------------------</code>

So, what does that mean ?

How do I fix this ?

Please let me know asap, as I need to finish and deliver 2 videos before tomorrow evening.

      Hello

      Somewhat late to try answer this one for you but maybe it will help people having the same problem (like me half of today).

      I had this same issue, tried restarting, using media encoder instead of exporting straight out of Pr and a few hours later and 5 failed exports I think I may have sorted it by deleting all rendered files then exporting the film. This *seems* to have solved it as the export worked fine afterwards.

      Go: Sequence -> delete render files

      The render bar should turn red (of yellow if you don't have effects or anything).

      Then export.

      Hope this helps and please let me know if this is the wrong answer, if I mistook correlation for causation.

      Corrupted rendering was quite common on FCPX when it was newly released which resulted in green frames.

      Cheers

        Thank you so much!!!!! This helped me. I had to manually remove the render files from the folders and thats what did the trick after.

        You saved me on exporting my first feature film

        What are the specs of your system? Particularly the OS version and your RAM. A similar bug way back in 2008--same error message, also involving a sizeable sequence--ended up being a Windows problem, which was resolved by Microsoft in October 2008.

        That bug was reproducible only with a particular clip, and we were able to isolate a single frame where the decoder choked. If one of your clips likewise has a glitch, you could try to isolate it by exporting the sequence in chunks (via In/Out Points). Given that encoding had reached 92%, I'd start with the last quarter of the sequence. When you isolate a segment that fails, then keep dividing it in two until you narrow it down pretty tightly. At a certain point, you'll want to limit the test exports to individual clips.

        Here is my config,

        http://d.pr/i/i9Lk

        As said, I have done many renders in the past, it never failed.

        Not sure, why since yesterday.

        And I never knew, we could do phase by phase export and render through Premiere Pro. Is it for real ? Got a tutorial link ?

        Plenty of RAM and you're not on XP SP2. Very good!

        I'm sure some tutorials cover how to export a segment of a sequence, but it's pretty straightforward: if a sequence has in/out points set, then the Source Range setting in Export Settings should default to Sequence In/Out.

        If you're old school and partial to the Work Area Bar, you can also set it to export the defined work area. Or you can set in/out points within the Export Settings dialog.
