Media Encoder black screen?

Hey guys,.

We had the strange error with Media Encoder lately. When we open and try to do something with it, it opens just a black screen. Can't see anything. Restarting the machine. No luck. Indeed, we cannot export anything through Media Encoder at all.

Someone at - it similar problems? Attached are some pictures.

Hi ZippityBop,

It could be a problem because of a corrupt Workspace.

Try this:

Open Media Encoder, click window > workspace > Reset "Default Workspace"

Let us know if this is useful.

Thank you

  • Videos with a resolution of portrait (1280 x 720) play with a black screen, audio is heard, in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7

    Hello

    I noticed that the video playback for videos (with a resolution of portrait, specifically 720 x 1280, appear black with audio being heard in Windows Media Player 12 (WMP 12) on Windows 7.  A Playbook has been used to capture video to the resolution of portrait.  I also noticed that if the Playbook capture resolution 1280 x 720 of the landscape, the video plays fine in WMP 12, so I know it is not a Codec problem and seems to be related to the dimensions of the video picture.

    The same portrait videos can be read normally with VLC and other video player applications.  Is this a known problem or limitation with WMP 12 on Windows 7?

    Thank you

    P.S. as an aside, Playbook captures video in MPEG-4 AVC video Codec and Audio MPEG-1 layer 2 Audio Codec format.

  • I get a black screen when I play videos in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.

    Until recently, all worked well for a long time. Now when you try to watch live TV or a DVD, I get a black screen with sound in Windows Media Center and trying to watch a DVD in Windows Media Player I also get a black screen with sound. The controls are there and functioning normally. DVDs are normally visible in the K-Lite Media Player Classic.

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, a tuner TV of SiliconDust HD Homerun networked and a videocard ATI Radeon 4550. I have all the latest updates.

    I found and tried many recommendations of the Internet for problems like this, and none helped.

    The video card driver is the latest provided by ATI to Microsoft for Windows Update and is dated from 19/04/2011. I tried to install the latest Catalyst software and driver from the ATI site, which does nothing to help, and then uninstalled. These drivers provide no option to adjust the hardware acceleration.

    I had an older version of K-Lite codec package installed. The problem does not change if I have the old version, the last 32 + 64 bit version or no version installed.

    In Control Panel, I tried to disable Windows 7 media, reset their reactivation components and reboot again. There is nothing.

    I had an older version of installed package from Cyberlink. The problem remains the same if I have the old version, the version the most recent or any installed.

    I tried to uninstall all Apple software: QuickTime, iTunes, etc. There is nothing to help.

    I tried to create a new user account; same problem there.

    I have VMware and a virtual machine that is running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. In this machine, I can view DVD normally with Windows Media Player, using the same physical DVD drive. I don't have Media Center set up in this machine.

    Title photo: original No. in Media Center and Media Player

    The problem is now resolved. I removed the software installed probably because the problem started, and Cisco Webex, which I did not need, was probably the culprit, although I'm not 100% sure.

    Thanks to those who have tried to help.

  • Export the movie in Media Encoder provides support screen offline

    I've recently updated to the latest versions of first Pro CC (2015.3) and Media Encoder (2015.3) and since the update, I had issues of export of sequences in Media Encoder. The issue I'm having is that everytime I try to export a sequence from the SOUL, it gives the screen offline, on the same clips in the preview window, even though they appear correctly inside the preview in PR. window the really strange thing is that when I export directly from the menu "Export Media' in first itself with the same export settings, everything is fine.

    These project files are templates for the videos that I do on a weekly basis, and they worked perfectly fine before the update.

    I tried the following steps, but had no joy with this problem:

    • Creates a new sequence with only the relevant clips.
    • Created a new project with only the relevant clips.
    • Moved to the location of clips on my drive hard and at PR
    • All the project files and clips on my laptop and used the pre version updates of PR and SOUL, these exports very much copied.

    My tests, it seems that there is a problem with SOUL not recognizing some .mp4 files because it is the only common thing between the affected elements, but happens not all the files in .mp4 h.264.

    I found the solution by another Member of staff.

    For those who have the same problem, what I had to do was make sure you I have deselected the "import footage natively" in the preferences of the SOUL.

  • Media Encoder gives "error screen" -?

    I am somewhat a novice with AE, but I use it to compose 3D makes in simple animations of DPX 16-bit sequences. I've done this hundreds of times, with no problems whatsoever.

    Today, I encounter a weird error for the first time, with Media Encoder.

    I have two sets of sequences, placed in the AE on separate layers. It has previewed perfectly.

    But when I go into Media Encoder, the second sequence does not appear in the final rendering. Instead, I get THIS SCREEN:

    Screen Shot 2015-11-20 at 8.53.06 AM.png

    (Note the AI 'After' insert makes it very well, but the animation itself is MISSING). I know the dpx sequence is there, because I made via Media Encoder a few minutes before it happened. I tried to re - make, but I get the same result every time. The "tmpAEtoAMEProject", said that the second sequence is missing. But it IS in the composition of EI.

    I deleted the second sequence and reloaded it in AE, place it in the same layer as before. Yet once, as usual, he presented in preview at AE perfectly. But when I make it in ME, I get the SAME ERROR!

    I have scanned the manual Ref 2015, but so far have not been able to find out what goes wrong.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  :+)

    Thank you.

    I never give up.  :+)

    I "solved" this WEIRD PROBLEM by making every SEPARATELY DPX sequence, and their handset in Quicktime Player.

  • Media encode/first Question Pro!

    Hey guys, first post here, been with Premiere Pro and the CC for a few years now.  I've never had this issue before and I wonder if it's my source material, so this is.

    First, I turn to a studio of local access TV show.  I've shot tons of things before, but with my cameras and equip, now I use their cameras that are not SD card or anything of the sort, they are connected to the system that create a RAW .mov file.  This RAW .mov file will show video and play audio if I'm watching it via VLC, but does not display any video in Premiere pro, once I import it into.  I thought Media Encoder would take care of it, but see in Media Encoder video black screen in media encode in the screen preview and once completed.  The original material is not good but that shouldn't matter and give as much information as possible, the cameras there are more than ten years.

    The .mov RAW file's Video bitrate audio and 26318 Kbps to 1536 kbps 48 kHz.  The computer I use is an Intel Core i7 - 4770 K CPU

    @3. 5 GHz with 16 GB of RAM.  I still use windows 7 64-bit on this system.  Now, I tried the same thing on my computer edition laptop and the same results.  The laptop is completely up-to-date for Premiere Pro and Media Encoder also.

    I'm waiting for the tech guy from the studio back to me, but it is not today and I should be changing this!  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?  I've been googling and check the codecs to see how I can solve this problem, but nothing I've tried up to now does not work.  Soon, I can reinstall just the whole thing (my internet is very slow so been avoiding that, will have to do it while I SLEEP).  Thank you for your time and your advice!

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 slow rendering time

    Hello!

    I'm new to video editing in general, but I'm quite intimate with the PC hardware so here.

    Specifications:

    • The stock of 4770K i7, no thermal regulation speed
    • 8 GB 1600 MHz CL9 DDR3 RAM
    • GTX 780 + 170 MHz clock and 110% limit/95 degrees C temp power target
    • Driver 368.39 used
    • 3 x Samsung 840 EVO (no raid)
      • Windows 10 64-bit running off SSD1
        • PE/AE/SOUL installed on this drive
        • Cache / Scratch areas on this drive
        • Images under development
      • SSD 2
        • Games
      • SSD3
        • Games

    I save images using shadowplay NVIDIA from a 75 Hz screen 2560 x 1080. The output file is a 1920 x 1080 60 fps 35Mbps bitrate H.264 MP4 file. (1920 x 810 with black bars).

    I would add that sequences Adobe Premiere elements 14, do any editing that I have to do, and then export it to a file of bitrate MP4 1080 p H.264 12Mbps. The rendering process usually take around 10-12 minutes to 6 minutes video.

    I then add this file to output in Adobe After effects CC 2015, create a composition with drag and create a button, add a few layers of text and export it via Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 (AE supports native H.264 from what I understand) with the SAME PARAMETERS. But this time, and I estimate that I type here, render times are 40 minutes.

    I ran a few tests and in the course of the first to make the CPU turns to about 80% CPU and the use of 1.8 to 2 GB, as I watch often some youtube in the meantime, so that understandeably not 100%. However, to the course to make AE/SOUL, le CPU CPU remains at about 30% CPU and 1.8 GB ram usage. With the help of the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) I expect to see more high on my GTX 780 loads, but he is 2-3% of load, so anything.

    Since my render outputs are (to the best of my knowledge) identical between the EP and shall return AE/SOUL, it seems that the use of material by SOUL is in this case. Other posters have suggested that some effects require the previous frame to be returned to pass, but I have not used such effects, are limited to simple text.

    So what's happening? I would appreciate any insight you have on this and I stand ready to provide more information that you need.

    Kind regards

    Before moving on to something else, I want to explain what I'm doing with text. I add text and overlay video, with sometimes a few very basic motion tracking (I can't forget this feature if I need). To the best of my knowledge, PE lets just add a black screen with text over time, like on a Blackboard for example. No text overlays/over-the-video (if it has no meaning...). So respect that, Premiere Pro have these features? If so I could make the switch.

    Certainly, you should stop using the Premiere Elements and start using Premiere Pro. Not only it gives MUCH more flexibility in the work, but you can layer objects of type as much as you want on top of your film.

    He was also transparent enough with AE. By example, if you have a shot that you want to add text, you could cut the part that would have text and simply right-click and choose "replace with After Effects composition. That images will be replaced with a dynamic link to a model of EI that already contains the images that you are handling. You save your AE project and results will be displayed immediately on the first! It's really convenient. If you want to keep this direct link, you can. Or if you are sure you are finished with AE work and wants to read smoothly at first, you can choose to make and replace it. It restores an intermediate file to AE and replaces the model tied first with her. VERY useful feature.

    If you keep track of movement, you probably want to use AE. Although you can make an animation in Premiere Pro, AE is much more suited to do. And if you start to get really fancy, you probably want to do some rotoscoping too.

    Corentin Robin wrote:

    I understand that EI requires much more accurately, and the way you explained it enabled me to understand one of the big question I had with her, which was "why reading in real time is so difficult in AE? You answered that perfectly, cheers!

    There is much more detail in the fact that I could get! Basically, AE must first build a cache, and then he reads. Maybe I should have said that. It is even simpler and shorter!

    On the issue of compression, I realized that the work of a compressed codec is not ideal. My gross output of Shadowplay file was indeed H.264 because I believe that is the single output file, it allows. I don't think I can do without shadowplay for now because it has unique characteristics which cannot be replaced:

    • For extremely low hardware with Nvidia drivers
    • Ability to retroactively save a video after an interesting "keep-worthy" event, to avoid recording 24/7 in the hope of something interesting

    Those who do not sound like some very useful features. Just make sure that you get quality settings in the codec to achieve a data rate as it allows.

    Corentin Robin wrote:

    Also, to continue on the issue of compression, I got mixed responses regarding this. Some, like you, would say that working with H.264 sacrifices quality and performance, but some say that it is not a problem since the youtube compression will be severely disfigue the file in any case.

    YouTube can recompress, Yes. But if so, it adds ANOTHER layer of compression. That would be an argument even more important to preserve the quality of your side as much as possible.

    Corentin Robin wrote:

    I think my question would be: I would win a much higher quality using Fraps/Dxtory where I can control the settings of the raw images (keeping in mind I lose the comfort of ShadowPlay) even though the compression of Youtube should (I think?) disfigure this film?

    I think that the benefits of ShadowPlay outweigh the concerns that I had about compression in only one step. I still say don't do any other steps in making H.264s again and again that you transmit your project between applications. If you need to make something (you won't have to if you start to use together the Premiere Pro and AE), renders an intermediate codec until you create your deliverable.

    Yes. Although, you can still use AE, you have eliminated the need to make the intermediate files if you use Premiere Pro and AE set.

    In addition the Dynamic Link workflow I mentioned, you can also (once you have finished your editing in Premiere Pro), your Premiere Pro project import into AE. Use import > import Premiere Pro control project. She puts your complete sequence in AE with each cut on its own layer. You really need to do if you started to do really complex with your AE work if.
