'Unknown error' export - it's time to panic!

• Premiere Pro CC 2015 export: unknown error when using many large jpegs

  Hello

  This is something that I remember reading about in older versions of first, but in the 2015 version, this always seems to happen. It is therefore more than a report bug to a question, because I have a workaround for it. If this isn't the right place to present this kind of info, please let me know.

  Scenario: I create a video project and import a large number of large JPEG images taken by a digital camera (12-20 Megapixel, 50 + photos).

  To help each other in the sequence and then try to export the video as file causes an unknown error during export times randomly, sometimes at the beginning, sometimes in the Middle, no mater which exit do format, bitrate, settings, etc.

  How I solved the problem: I resized pictures on about 4 million pixels - and viola - everything travels very well.

  I also noticed, that when the project contains only a few large images, it can work also still very good export, but if there are more than a few, the error starts occurring.

  Don't know which version of CC 2015 I used, I can check later.

  I hope this feedback is helpful for you guys

  Edit: the machined used is a quad core Xeon, 16 GB of RAM, nVidia GTX750, SSD + 2x1To Raid0

  It was never recommended to use ginormous stills in first. A batch resize in Photoshop or IrFanView for instance would take a few seconds and certainly ease the burden on your software and your hardware.

  Thank you

• 'Error compilation film unknown error' made or export in first or Media Encoder or

  Hi all

  I'll have made troubled and the export of which certainly is a sequence quite complex 2.5 hours of first CC 2015 and Media Encoder. I'll describe the problem, then provide my card, then describe my attempts so far solutions:

  1. The problem: try to make my outside sequence gives the error "error compiling Movie. Unkown Error"at irregular intervals, sometimes after 10 seconds and sometimes after 10 minutes of rendering. It occurs also when rendering of three subsequences that he content and when expporting media first or Media Encoder.
  2. My specs:
     

     Material - I am on Windows 10 x 64-bit on a desktop computer custom built with MSI AM3 + configuration motherboard with an AMD FX6350 3.9 GHz processor, 16 GB of RAM and a 2 GB AMD Radeon R9 380 graphics card, all current drivers.

     Software - creation and Media Encoder are defined to use the reading Mercury (GPU acceleration) engine and the composite linear color, and are both set to update to version updated for release 2015 CC.
     Sequence - I'm editing in square pixels of 1080 p AVCHD, 29.97 frames/second, 48000 Hz sampling frequency, using the only i-Frame MPEG video previews. My sequence has three subsequences, all of them contain a multicam pulling three video sources synchronized sequence (it is a composite event that was recorded live). I export in H.264 MP4 @ 10-12 Mbps with 'Match sequence settings' for the framerate, bitrate and size of the image.

  3. My attempted Solutions: , I started with the basics... Clear your cache of media, delete make files and files video preview, flatten your blocking sequences, export each subsequence individually, create a new project and import the old sequences, all this, trying to render and export between each of these steps. Frankly, I'm bad-shot in the gut. I desperately need to export this sequence successfully and there deliver my video to an audience online and from there, also create versions for DVD and Blu - Ray.

  I'm just wishing so bad for an error code, a clip defective to be identified somewhere, an Executive responsible for headaches, something. Something besides, 'film compilation error. Unknown error. »

  Grateful for any help offered by the community of users of wonderful to Adobe Premiere Pro.

  Hi Nathan,

  Sorry for your troubles. Looks like you have a sequence that should be able to be exported, but can't. To add to your frustration, the warning dialog box has no clue as to what is the error. With what is happening at random intervals, it is really difficult to solve.

  For the latter, the next release of Premiere Pro's warnings more explicit. This update is coming soon. In the meantime, let's work on the export of this sequence.

  Firstly, log a case with support. Here are the details on how to contact them.

  The first thing to look at is your system, I would say. It looks up to the requirements of the standard, however, it is quite a long sequence. If you have lots of GPU based effects and/or Lumetri effects, your VRAM might be out of memory, cancelling export and crashing with error compilation Movie.

  If it was me, my prime suspect. How do you work around that? Avoiding the GPU? In fact, Yes. It will take time for export, most certainly. This could take days. Not much you can do, unfortunately, unless you muscle your hardware. Currently, my guess is that your GPU is probably not powerful enough for what you want to do. In the project settings > general switch to software only.

  Can you avoid this in the future? Yes, with a different workflow what smart favours rendered instead of make or export at the same time with GPU based effects.

  This means that you'd have to transcode the AVCHD video to a codec chip to make and restore the effects along the way in this same codec. At the time wherever you export, you are not typing the GPU because you use files preview instead.

• Rendering and export failed with an unknown error because of the color of Lumetri?

  I am rendering & export failures with an 'unknown error' code within Premiere Pro and Media Encoder.  I think that the problem is related to the Lumetri color filter that is widely used in all of the timeline.  There are hundreds of clips and each clip has 2-4 color filters Lumetri applied.  Each clip also has the red giant Cosmo and filter FilmConvert Pro 2.36.1 coming to overlap (visually underneath by order of effects filters Panel) all filters from Lumetri.  The reason why I believe that the problem is related to the Lumetri color filter is that it is the first time that I use.  Previously, I used the filter red giant Colorista III coloring, but last week decided to try using the Lumetri color for the same effect.

  Please let me know if anyone has had similar experiences, what were their solutions, or if someone has some ideas on how to solve this problem.  I would really appreciate the help!

  System details:

  Windows Pro 64-bit 10

  Intel i7 5960 X 8-core 3.0GHz (cooled water and too quick to 4.2 GHz)

  64GB 2133 MHz DRAM (non-ECC)

  2 x Nvidia GTX 980 4 GB GPUs (not in SLI)

  Intel 750 PCIe 400 GB SSD (for BONES)

  SSD Pro 1 TB Samsung 840 (for Adobe Cache)

  SSD Pro 1 TB Samsung 840 (for export)

  Matrix RAID 5 of 48 TB (eight 6 TB HDs with MegaRAID, LSI 9361-8i card) (for media)

  Information on the timeline:

  1920 x 1080 (original video files are MP4 UHD scaled down by 50% in the timeline)

  23.976 fps

  CUDA Mercury Render Engine

  Length of the sequence: 14:30

  I have discovered a workaround of sorts.  I noticed that when rendered in PP he would make progress before a failure (the green line that precedes the timeline would get a little longer).  If I saved this progress and rebooted the system, then tried to make it again, it would make a little further.  I've done this dozens of times for 4 hours make completely a 14:30 long sequence.

  I noticed doing this routine that my CPU was maxxed on all rendered.  Resource monitor reported the use of CPU to 143% continuous (all other indicators RAM, disk speed, etc. were well under their maximums).  This brings me to suspect that maybe there is a problem with overheating of the CPU.  But who would be closed for the entire system, correct?

  Once the entire sequence has been made (all the green lines above clips) I tried export by using the "Use preview files" option enabled.  Failure again.  I tried export uncompressed AVI, Quicktimes and PNG sequences.  All have failed.  I tried to export to PP as well as TEA.  The two have not.  I tried to export with option 'To make maximum quality' is enabled.  Surprisingly, this product the longest time encoding managed (32 minutes before failure).  As by chance, using the option of MRQ kept my CPU loads sawtoothing between 100% and 75%, then maybe there's something to the CPU overheating theory?

  In an ultimate attempt desperate to save my video project (looming deadlines!) I divided the sequence of Assembly in five servings (I cut on the melted white or fade-to-black transitions) and exported to each of them.  This copy export times within 20 minutes.  It worked.

  I noticed this another Adobe Forums thread that seems to speak of the similar difficulties with effects of Lumetri in Creative Cloud 2015.  Perhaps the Lumetri effects are not ready for prime time?

  https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1236018?start=0 & tstart = 0

  Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on this.  In the meantime, I'll wind up this project and never use Lumetri effects again.

  Hello Kevin,

  Thank you for offering help to solve this problem.

  I was able to export the majority of the sequence with all the Lumetri effects, red giant and FilmConvert mixed in clips.  After the sequence using the tedious method described above I segmented the sequence in the quarterfinals; all exported except one.  I divided it into two; Another exported doesn't have.  I cut half too, once again only half exported without failure.  I finally reduced the embarrassing part until a second sequence clips 35; an interview with green screen with superimposed titles and superposition of b-roll clips.

  I removed all the effects of the Lumetri of these clips and replaced by Red Giant Colorista III effects, which are very similar to the effect of Lumetri in the GUI and application.  The sequence made completely without "unknown error."  Then it was exported successfully (and used about 70% when compared to more CPU activity 110% with the Lumetri to export).

  The difference would be that the effect of color of Lumetri has this YUV icon next to it in the effect controls panel?  Which means that YUV?

  The problem is perhaps not totally related to the color of Lumetri effect (as I said, I was able to export the majority of the 14:30 sequences use, although gradually by segmentation of the sequence into smaller portions), but if the move is a solution then I'll use it.

  I lost a day to fix this.  If this thread is useful to someone else, then it was worthwhile.

• 'Error compiling movie/Unknown Error' when exported.  Great list of ' things I've already tried ' s

  Alright, move to the bottom line here, I spent the last hours 3 juggling with clips and sequences of trying to get my VERY average project to encode and export.  I get the dreaded "error compiling Movie.  Unknown error message.  But there are a few details as to where it is tripping when exporting; more on that later.

  Technical details: iMac, 32 GB of ram, Nvidia 780 M 4 GB, SSD from all around.

  First of all, a list of "Things I've tried."  Which many were inspired by multiple threads, I've already read:

  -Make sure there is not still images exceeding the size of my project (1080 p) settings.  Initially, there was one, it has since then been swapped for a completely different image/picture.  Still unresolved.

  -Make sure there is no offset image drop-down conflicts happening between clips and my settings.

  -All images is 1080 p, so there is no scale happening (not with any of the effects either).

  -Switching to export "in/out sequence" export "entire sequence."

  -Created a new sequence, dropped the sequence published in project parameters matched, tried to export from there.  Same question.

  -A tried to make CBR instead of the variable.

  -Tried to use all the rendering engines (software only, CUDA, OpenCL, etc..)

  -At least a few other things too, but it's so darn late now for this reason, and so I'm so tired that I can't remembering everything.  I'll gladly take any suggestions and report back.

  
  

  Now, I mentioned we're listening at a specific point.  I often read that he goes somewhere around 70% through and is approximately the same in my case.  He arrives at a specific clip/couple of clips and blocks in almost the exact same task.  I messed with these clips too many times to count.  Initially it has been remapped both with keyframes, so I changed it to a constant speed without keyframes. nothing.  Had a directional blur on one of the clips, so I completely; and no change.  I think I tried other things with that particular section of the timeline, but as I said, I'm falling asleep here.

  
  

  Please. Help.  I'm very, very, very close to deserting a ship to FCPX total after so many bugs and crashes (it is not the only issue that hinder the project, as many of you know).  Currently, I am a user of dual-app, different applications for projects depending on how how "inside" I need to get, or if I work with different people on different systems.  But I need something that is RELIABLE.  This is supposed to be a professional software and probably priority #1 for professionals is reliability.  At least in FCP almost everything runs very smooth, and I did not yet have a "can't f * ing finish a project" problem with her.

  I'm sorry, please excuse my behavior; I'm frustrated.

  We have progress!

  So, I've discovered some interesting things (maybe not interesting for anyone who has had or has solved this problem before, but new to me).  It is a long summary of what happened, but I want to explain how I came to the conclusion I did:

  First of all, I took advice from Colin and created a new sequence with the troublesome section, removed all the audio clips.  I thought I could try so suggestion of Ann at the same time, so I deleted FilmConvert not only the effects but ALL the effects of the clip.  The settings include: Filmconvert, directional blur (which a clip has the sum of retouching), speed of adjustment (without keyframes), then an adjustment layer with a very small amount of sharpening applied to it.  I did not remove anything from the adjustment layer.  I then exported with only "Export video" checked.  It worked.

  So, I really wanted to try to pin-point, in hopes of helping someone else in the future.  It's when things are interesting.  So I went back and started around, keeping the audio off the coast and little by little the effects removed.  He went down to the directional blur, which I completely spaced the same mention, because I forgot a little on this subject in the middle of all this (sorry about, 100% my fault not to mention blur; some of you could see as the issue immediately, had I mentioned).  With everything, but directional blur applied, it has exported.  I even put the audio tracks to, re-checked Export Audio, and everything worked well.  So the blur effect seems to be the question... or so it seems.  Another interesting thing that's happened is that for one of the first attempts to export without audio, I left the blur effect but take off FilmConvert.  It worked as well.  Finally, my last attempt was to export everything, audio and video and all the effects, however, this time I noticed that on the second clip in the sequence I had accidentally put the blur directional above FilmConvert in the effects Panel (the other clips there like the last effect applied).  So I moved it back to the bottom of the chain of effects.  Of course, it worked.

  Finally, and above all, I tried full export with effects in their place.  SOUL crashed, twice.  Frustrating, but unfortunately enough widespread lately.  However, the project is export straight out of first, first try.  Feeling very relieved.

  I guess my question now is... Why?  Is - this common with all the effects in the first of blur?  To summarize what the section of the clips looked like, it's just a quick moment of time being accelerated x 5, with a slight blur to simulate an exaggerated movement too vague.  Yes, I do usually this kind of effects in After Effects, with more control and better results, but the project is a quick and informal editing, so I don't bother at first.  A big thank you to all who contributed to the discussion, if your suggestion has directly touched the issue or not, it's the community to commit that really matters.  I hope that son like this can get small bugs like these resolved or help someone in a similar situation to learn how works the effect controls panel.  Nevertheless, there is useful information on this topic, for sure.  Thanks again to all who have helped me learn along the way.

• Error compiling Movie.  Unknown error.  Premiere Pro export failed

  Error compiling Movie.  Unknown error.  I get this message when you try to export my calendar to any format.  It exports for a while, then I get this message.  When I try to export using the media encoder it gives me just the sound of sheep.  I'm starting to hate this sheep.

  Does anyone know how to figure out why it throws up to this error message, and that the solution is to go around?  I've lost countless hours trying to figure out a work around.  I can't just scrap the project, it took me weeks.

  I was able to export fine dozens of times before, so I'm not sure it's important that my features are but here goes:

  Custom PC integrated with windows 7pro SP1

  Intel Core i7 - 2600 K CPU @ 3.7 GHz 3.4GHz

  16 GB of ram

  64-bit operating system

  After the implementation of many suggestions here, I was able to export the project 9 min successfully.  I need to take you all at dinner.

  I don't know what suggestions has been around, but I have a feeling that it was a combination of ideas that went around.  Here's a breakdown of what I did to change the project so that it can successfully export:

  1.) reset all stills in motion tab to its original settings & then click right on it in the timeline panel and choose 'to scale to the size of the image.

  2.) replaced all files nested with the original tracks.

  3.) changed the sequence settings (changed under subsection video previews and editing custom Mode > select the File Format as Microsoft AVI, uncompressed Codec Preview.)

  I had to make a new render all previews after changing the settings of the sequence, and I had i/o errors while the process, but Adobe first CC of reboot resolved somehow these errors.  Several times during the editing process of the chronology (based on items 1-3) previously mentioned I had to reboot first due to a loss of the preview screen and inability to make things.  At the end of the day, I could so that he could succeed export so again once I thank you all.  It's a VERY important project for me and I'm serious about you take all this at dinner

• Lumetri color is "film compilation error. Unknown error' all the time...

  It matters little if I just export from in the body or the SOUL use.

  At first I thought it might be some errors with the media, but after trying to remove the clips one by one, he always made the mistake. Finally, I removed all the effects and it worked.

  If I put Lumetri color on a single clip, it does not.

  It's very frustrating.

  My system:

  Windows Pro 10

  I7 - 4930 K 3.4 Ghz

  64 GB OF RAM

  NVIDIA GTX 570

  Clips of Panasonic GH3 GH4 - GH3 vlclips and 50 1080 P the GH4 is 4K 25 p. All places on the timeline with 1080 P. 25, have made many films with mixed without any problems before - looks like this error came after the latest organization update?

  Clues?

  UPDATE: I managed to get the sequence exported using the red giant seems only instead of Lumetri. I had jumped to almost looks like after having to get used to Lumetri, which I find easier to adjust when editing. Have the old edition, but consider the upgrade to bersion last, otherwise Lumetri works more. I wonder if this could have something to do with my Nvidia driver? Old eyes do not use the GPU but only the CPU... so maybe something related to the GPU for my GTX570 driver?

  / Morten

  Just look at the GTX 570... «With 480 CUDA cores...» " ... I think that this is your problem, really.

  Plus, the recommended minimum CUDA cores is to stay more than 1,000. Simply, this card doesn't have the power to handle the most recent Lumetri. The rest of your machine looks very good, I think you just need to move up to say a 970 at least. It would balance the rest of your machine better.

  Among the major warnings of building a computer for applications video Adobe is 'balance'... with the most amazing CPU and 256 GB of RAM, but only using a disk 5400 RPM, for example, is not a machine "balanced". 570 isn't near the capacity of your machine... and PrPro... can use.

  That's why he better just software.

  Hi Jim, I contacted the guys to help Adobe directly and they took my computer to try to understand. We've been through tons of troubleshooting (I already had) and it turns that the project has to be on the local drive and associated media may still be on external HDs, it can also export to external HDs providing that the proj file is on your local drive. But if the project file is located in the same folder that the multimedia files on the external hard drive it can not restore or export - so my suggested workflow is keep the project on the local disk folder. So that each new machine I want to take the project I have to import the project into a new clean project saved to local disk. I'm used to FCP 7 and CS3, but this seems absured for me. I am disappointed with CC so far.

• Updated from CC to CC 2015 2014 now unknown error compiling movie in SOUL

  I'm editing a project that is 720 x 576 only so no HD in question.  My PC is running Windows 10.

  I used 2014 CC and had no problem to export the project.

  I just upgraded today to CC 2015.

  Now, it is true that, after making a few changes to the project, I get the dreaded unknown error message.

  I read a lot of comments on the forums about this and what seems to be a multitude of things to look at to fix the problem.

  I did not much yet to investigate and make, but for the life of me I don't understand why the software can at least give an idea where to start.

  One solution supposed to remove the clips one at a time to determine where is the problem.

  My project has hundreds of clips, so it could take some time.

  I'm happy that I'm only using the software for a hobby rather than for a living if not I would be hot.

  Maybe someone could explain why the software can't give a clue where in the video, the error is.  Surely, he must know where is the problem. He might not know what is causing the error, but a clue as to where to look would help to solve the problem.  It seems that this error has existed for a long time, and you would have thought that adobe would have found a way now to reach a judicious system of error reporting.

  Thanks for your suggestion.

  Fortunately, I just tried the first test:

  Change the video rendering and playback the playback (Cuda) Mercury to Mercury Playback Engine software only engine

  He deleted the files of rendering.

  Then, I just did an export throughout the sequence.  Almost all of the existing sequence in the timeline showed in red that I guess that means that a majority of it is not rendered.

  The export worked perfectly without error.
