Adobe Media Encoder won't upload long videos to YouTube

Report · Jan 13, 2018

Hi everyone,

I've been having problems with uploading videos on YouTube. I followed the solution on other post AME 2018 won't stay logged in to Youtube to not use the old preset from AME 2017 but to no avail.

Earlier today I tried creating preset in AME and not Premier Pro and I encode 1 min "test" video and I was happy that it was successfully uploaded, so I proceeded to encode the remaining files in my queue.

But when I woke up I was disappointed that the other videos that is 45mins-1.5hrs was not uploaded. The error is the same with this post: Publish Error when Exporting video to YouTube

Publish Error when Exporting video to YouTube I just want to point out in the image bellow that the first "test" video is 1min video of the second video from the queue, and I am wonder why was the first one got uploaded successfully and the second one was not, both have the same preset, the only difference between them is the video length/size.

Here's the error message:

01/13/2018 04:47:48 PM : YouTube - {
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "authError",
    "message": "Invalid Credentials",
    "locationType": "header",
    "location": "Authorization"
   }
  ],
  "code": 401,
  "message": "Invalid Credentials"
 }
}

So I am wonder if there's a problem with rending long videos or is there a work around with this solutions.

Thanks

It's me again,

I just want to give an update, I am currently encoding 3 preaching videos.

All of them has the same encoding presets but the first one failed to upload on YouTube again, I am thinking because of the duration of the video. Here are the video lengths in MM:SS

1st Video: 39:42 (YouTube upload failed)

2nd Video: 12:36 (Successful)

3rd Video: 15:46 (Successful)

Do you think it has something to do with video duration that if it is longer than 30mins it won't upload on YouTube?

Thanks

Any reply or resolution to this issue? I just purchased CC suite for this very feature (uploading preaching videos as soon as they're done encoding so I don't have to keep tabs every hour) and I find it's not working. It worked perfectly on my last version of Premiere (2015).

It's especially frustrating on a day like today - Easter Sunday - when I come back to my machine after working on other things expecting to find a completed upload buy find it errored out instead.

My first video that failed was about 15m long. I chopped it to about 30s and it worked just fine; uploaded immediately with no errors.

Same exact problem I am having Claya. I get the same error message when trying to upload to youtube from the Premiere pro platform.

I tried uploading a 16 minute project and it fails. I even tried saving the project locally and uploading directly from YouTubes webpage with no luck.

When I cut the same project to 2 minutes it uploads from CC with no problem.

I called Adobe a couple days ago and was advised to try using Media Encoder and also they suggested a work-around by uploading directly to the web page but still had no luck.

Talk about frustrating. I was using the 7 day free trial which expired yesterday and I love the product but I don't want to pay money for a problem many people are having with no fix in months.

Where are you Adobe?

EDIT:

This reply was curiously rejected by the moderators of this forum:

Reason: There's no question or request here, just complaints about a customer service call related to a bug that's been filed related to an upgrade.

What a strange reason. If every reply to a forum post was required to be a question or request, I suspect there wouldn't be much of a community here. Nevertheless, I'll amend my reply with a question and/or request.

I recently contacted Adobe Support about this issue and received the common useless response from an Adobe representative. How disappointing.

Has anybody else found a solid resolution/workaround for this issue other than uploading via YouTube's web interface?

Here is the transcript:

INITIAL SUPPORT CONTACT:
Shrayanka: Hello! Welcome to Adobe support.
Shrayanka: Please allow me 1-2 minutes to review your account details.

Clay Anderson: I had this identical problem on my home PC, which is Windows 10 64bit/Intel i7 3630QM/16GB RAM/Nvidia GTX 670MX
Clay Anderson: It resolved spontaneously after several clean installations of Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Media Encoder
Clay Anderson: The camera used to record the video is a Panasonic GH4
Shrayanka: Okay , I see.
Shrayanka: May I start a remote session with your computer to troubleshoot the issue? If this is okay, please close your personal files/folders before sharing your screen with me.
Clay Anderson: Sure, though I am also remotely accessing it via TeamViewer
Shrayanka: Let me share the link with you for screen sharing as Adobe uses Bomgar to remotely access the machine.
Shrayanka: Please click here to share screen
Clay Anderson: I'm sorry, I don't want to mess up what you're trying to do so I'll say this here: I am also not able to take advantage of my Nvidia GTX 650 Ti via Premiere Pro on this machine for whatever reason; it says there is no compatible hardware recognized.
Shrayanka: Clay I am trying to rectify the issue as in rendering the last portion because as per you the issue appears to be at the last section .
Shrayanka: And I can experience a freeze while rendering how ever no crash.
Shrayanka: And for your query about the card I will have to check that.
Clay Anderson: It's not necessarily the last section; what I meant to communicate to you was that the issue presents itself during the last portion of encoding a given video, when Adobe begins uploading the project to YouTube.
Clay Anderson: However if the project is short in length, it seems to work perfectly fine. This same issue is presented here:

Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately the issue HAS NOT been fixed on the lates 12.1.1 update.

Still getting Code 401 error even after I've done the same exact same steps I've done on the post above.

How about you? Any videos that is more than 30mins of length or to encode won't upload to YouTube, I also upload preaching videos =]

Report · May 23, 2018

Unfortunately there has been no resolution for me either. Sometimes one of my projects will upload correctly (though it will still throw a 501 error when attempting to add the video to a playlist in its uploading process) while others in the same export sequence will fail with the generic 501 error. Adobe's lack of support on this is pretty disappointing.

Hi everyone,

Just want to give an update, earlier in this thread I mention that videos that was encoded more than 30mins gets a "code:401" on and won't get uploaded. Earlier today I encode 3 videos and most of them was encoded for more than 30mins, 2 of them was successfully uploaded to youtube but the 3rd video that was encoded for more than an hour the upload failed:

Encoding Time of Video #1: 00:31:33 <-- Successfully uploaded to YouTube

Encoding Time of Video #2: 00:39:35 <-- Successfully uploaded to YouTube

Encoding Time of Video #3: 01:25:13 <-- Code: 401 "Invalid Credentials"

Here's the encoding log and error logs.

Updated to v13.0/CC 2019 still getting errors the same 401 error or Invalid credentials.

It's frustrating after almost a year and a major version update the this error hasn't been fixed yet. I've email and sent an email directly to Adobe support but they don't even reply.

Anyone solved this issue yet?

To summarize, I've done the new preset thing and even reformatted my Mac just to make sure I am not getting any preset from the the CC2017 and still getting error code on videos that has encoding time of more than 30mins. Anything lower that that seems to get uploaded to YouTube successfully more than that error 401.

That solution won't work if you are encoding a video for more than 45mins. It's seems like there is an authentication time out or session time out. I've tried creating a new preset on a FRESHLY REFORMAT MAC with a FRESHLY INSTALLED AME and PP. Even tried with the CC 2019 but I still get the same results.

Here for example, I encoded earlier a full length preaching of 1hr and 8mins with a preset "MBBE 1080p (YT)" but it doesn't get uploaded to YouTube.

Here's the Encoding log:

Check the Encoding time, it's 4hrs and 34mins. It exceeded the authentication timeout limit.

Now I'll use the SAME PRESET and SAME VIDEO but this time I'll encode the first 5mins of the 1hr and 8mins to make sure that the encoding time will not exceed the authentication timeout.

As you can see here the encoding time is only 17mins less than the authentication timeout and the video was successfully uploaded to YouTube.

Your answer might help others who encodes video with less than 30-40mins encoding time. But for us who edit and encodes more than an hour of videos that solution won't work for us.

BTW, please don't "Mark as correct" your own post, let me decide if a post/reply is an answer to our problem.

As of now even with the CC 2019 release, there is no solution to our problem.

Thanks
