Question

Video Freezes after export

Hello,

after upgrading to Premiere Pro 24(Beta) and as from today to 24.0 I have the problem, that after exporting video it freezes at some frame for 5-8 seconds, audio still plays but video not.

After re-exporting it again, it freezes again but already at another random spot. This is just a wedding video without any special effects (only film convert plugin applied). 

I already tried to export another video from another project, it's also freezes at random spot for 5-8 seconds.

 

I also uploaded an example video of it (177MB):

I already re-installed Premiere Pro but unfortunately it did not help.

@Michael Grenadier seems like they missed that part in the video. However, upon doing some research on YouTube, the steps to changing your codecs, are very similar so maybe that's what they meant? I did see videos saying converting your clips to ProRes before editing will make things alot easier for editing in Premiere. And a big recommendation is the "render and replace" tool you mentioned. Thank you for all of your help.

according to the text in the link "Render previews of any clips with effects and clips that are not the same as the new smart rendering codec, as well".   Can't say I've ever looked at those video clips...

@Michael Grenadier According to the video you linked, smart rendering cannot be used with clips that have any effects on them. I must admit, i am not familiar with the process, but it did lead me to investegate the sources of my clips. I think multiple sources could be the main culprit, however, I checked another project where the clips were matching the codec of the timeline and it still froze. Curently, my only resolution is to keep exporting the timeline until it works without freezing.

and just to push you right over the edge, you might try and use an adjustment layer above the clip with the warp stabilizer applied, using add edits on the adjustment layer where you need to change the correction.  Not sure if this would work for your problem, but might be worth a shot.  Premiere is a very complex program and lots of options to deal with these sort of issues...  

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Not sure why you can't use smart rendering with the effects you mention.  However, there are problems reported with using warp stabilizer and color effects on the same clip if I remember correctly.  The solution I think is to nest the clip, and apply the warp stabilizer to the clip inside the nest and the color correction onto the nest or vice versa...   Searching in this forum will hopefully get you more accurate info.   Also, probably a good idea to convert the h264 clip to prores before applying the warp stabilizer.  H264 is a mpeg format which means that each frame is not complete but needs to be created by the editing program by referencing nearby frames... while prores is an "all iframe" format which means that each individual frame is complete.   Warp stabilizer needs to reference many frames so I'm guessing h264 may complicate the process.   Generally, I work with prores clips, but have never had issues with combining codecs in the same sequence...

 

I did a complex restoration of a film a few years ago that had a complicated variety of sources and needed extensive stabilization.  I sent the clips to aftereffects for the stabilization where (at that point) you had much better control of stabilization and the interface was much more responsive on the underpowered machine I was using then.    And did the color correction in Premiere...  Not sure how the recent updates have effected warp stabilizer in Premiere, but you might want to investigate this workflow.    I would render the clip in aftereffects and put it on top of the AE comp in premiere...

 

You might also try just applying the warp stabilizer and then using "render and replace" and then apply the color correction.  Render and replace can really help in problematic situations.  You can "unrender" if necessary.

@Sumeet Kumar Choubey No, just the native effects available in Premiere

Hi Kyle Creation Films,

 

Sorry about the poor experience. Are you also using any third-party plugins/effects in the sequence?

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

@Michael Grenadier I'm unable to use smart workflow because I use coloring and effects like warp stabilizer on my clips. However you may have pointed to the source of the issue. I did notice that the sequence is in h.264, however, 2 of the cameras are in codec ProRes 422. I discovered this by following the video in the link you posted. I was able to get the video to export without freezing after multiple attempts. But as the video points out, it seems premiere has trouble using multiple codecs on one sequence. I'll have to try to convert the footage to one codec before editing my next project to see if it fixes the issue. Thank You.

do all your sources and sequence have the same frame rate? 

Might have something to do with the problem.

You might want to consider using a smart rendering workflow
