recently started taking my editing a bit more seriously and discovered the proxy facility which i think is fantastic. However i have followed many tutorials on the internet, changed the settings god knows how many times but every time, it will create the proxy in the relevant folder but there would be no video.
Thought i was doing something wrong but ive tried it so many different ways im unsure where im going wrong. the only problem i see is when media encoder has rendered the file, i reset status. When i click custom the Ingest settings come up. Under Summary and Source it says "No video". I have no idea how to fix this? can someone please help me?
I have tried to export a sequence using media encoder and that works fine, its just for some reason not playing ball when it comes to proxies.
Currently using PP 2018 and AME 2018
Thanks in advance.

What is your original media?
I just selected a couple clips in a bin, right-click/proxies/create proxies, selected QuickTime format and the 1024x540 ProRes 422 .... it fired up Me, in a couple minutes the proxies were done. I've added the Proxy option to Meta bar display in the list view of the Project panel by right-clicking the meta bar header, in the Project options selecting the "Proxy" option. This shows the existence of proxy media per clip.
Both clips showed proxies available.
Went into the Program monitor, saw to it that the control icon for "Toggle Proxies" was on the control section, toggled ... and proxies were showed as on. If you don't have the Toggle Proxies icon showing in the Program monitor, click the + on the far right, and scroll over the control icons ... when one says "Toggle Proxies" ... drag it to where you want it in the controls for the Program monitor.
I've no clue about the reset status comment ... or actually, some of your other comments. There are very few things to do to create proxies. So listing the precise steps is handy. There are some really screwed up tutorials out there.

Hello and thank you for the reply.
Apologies i was a little vague. Here is the step by step process:
------------------------------------------------------------
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
01/04/2019 09:48:22 AM : Encoding Failed
------------------------------------------------------------
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Export Error
Failed to create encoder.
Writing to file: \\?\F:\RRP\Martin and Rach\Fraz\Video\Proxies\C0001_Proxy.mp4
Writing file type: H264
Around timecode: 00;00;00;00
Error code: -1610153464
------------------------------------------------------------
I am out of ideas and suggestions and have searched so many forums and the internet for the answer.
It will probably be so simple in the end but for now i cannot figure it out and im loosing editing time to fulfill the clients needs.
Here are my computer specs:
Hopefully this helps and i have included everything for further help.
Regards

Do you have any material you could try that is not at 100fps?

I have tried it with footage I shot on the canon 80d at 24 and 30 FPS and the same thing happens.

Piggybacking off Neil, precise steps would be helpful in deterring why you are getting only audio for your Proxies. Were these custom presets you created?
FYI, there is an Adobe Help doc with basic info for Proxies and Ingest presets at: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Ingest and Proxy Workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Start by using only the included Cineform proxy presets.

hello and thank you for the link.
I have just tried the link and used the cineform presets. The files are created...again without video. As they encode its black...
So back to square one. Just cannot figure it out. I feel it will be a checkbox thing which will be highly annoying in the end

Your Preset in the posted image still says Custom, which means you're changing something, and that could be an issue.
I'm suggesting you use the included Presets, which will appear with their name in the Preset column in AME.

Just tried to do this again...
using the presets...it comes into ME then changes to custom on its own unsure why. im going to reinstall premiere and see if that resets things.
I will keep you all posted

Don't forget to use this after you Add/Remove Programs from Windows
Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

I just ran into a similar issue. Creating proxies from Premiere and when I monitored Media Encoders progress it would only display black video as it was encoding and the file sizes were abnormally small... the only way I could resolve it was to change the renderer setting in Media encoder from its default (on a Mac Metal) to Software Only. Seems like a bug.

Hello Everyone
Thank you very much for the help. Not had much time to reply as ive now gone back to teaching however, solved the problem last night by reverting to 2017 premiere and encoder. works like a dream including custom settings for quicktime also.
Thanks again

I found a weird fix to this. At first I was transcoding MOV files from a Panasonic S1H using the Premiere Go Pro Cineform 720 preset, but I was choosing a custom destination path. It was transocding as black video every time, with audio. On a hunch, I let it save to the default destination path of "Next to original media" and it worked fine. Jeebers. Some kind of new bug as I was just creating proxies to a custom destination path a couple weeks ago with no issue.
Hope this helps!
