Problems with exports in premiere

[SoulRefrain]

I have used amvapp in the past but its been a while. Ive been going through all the new guides to refresh and everything is working out just fine except for a few vista glitches here and there(new computer ).

(For the record, Im using adobe premiere pro 7 and at the moment, Im going through the guide located here: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... xport.html)

Whenever I would export the movie using all these setting the compression would reach 15/xxxxx and stop responding which would freeze up premiere. I tried several basic things that I thought could be the root of the problem but nothing worked. After a while I decided to go with uncompressed... but I cant find the option anywhere in the settings. So after multiple searches through the forum and a dozen or so test(x).avi files saved on (D:), I finally decided to thoroughly go through it one by one. As I went down the list in the settings menu and got around to recompress 'always' option, it froze up. I found that the movie would only export smoothly with all these settings as long as the recompress option was set to 'maintain data rate'.

Im trying to figure out if it could be something with premiere or possibly huffy. Im wondering if somebody has a solution for this problem or if its necessarily a problem at all. And if anyone can point me in the right direction for exporting with Uncompressed RGB for premiere pro7 that would be awesome.

Setting it to "mantain data rate" isn't the best solution, that should be set to "Always" for proper colorspace conversions.
Anyways, in order to export uncompressed, choose "None" from the compressor combo box.
Also, if the export keeps freezing either way, your best bet is to export in clips of 10 seconds or so. This basically means that you'll have to choose a 10 seconds long area of the timeline with the work area bar, export it, then choose the next 10 seconds, export them, and so on until everything is exported. You can then put the clips together in avisynth with a code similar to the following:

Code: Select all

avisource("clip1.avi")++avisource("clip2.avi")++avisource("clip3.avi")

An important thing here is that you should remember to use ++ and not just +, as otherwise you might not have audio sync.

No, you are not, because Adobe Premiere Pro 7 does not exist and never has. They've only gotten up to Premiere Pro (CS)4.

Anyway, if "Maintain data rate" doesn't result in junk frames ("screen of rainbows" as Absolute Destiny put it), then you're probably fine to use it. Otherwise, what is happening on your timeline at frame 15?

One thing that, in my experience, seems to make Premiere Pro choke on export often is crossfades on title files (.prtl). This is nothing that can't be replaced by animating the clip's Opacity property.

Yes thank you, I just found this out myself. Im using adobe premiere pro 1.0 but its labeled as adobe premiere(pro) 7.

Anyways, in order to export uncompressed, choose "None" from the compressor combo box.

Thank you very much. I wasnt really looking outside the box while trying to find it apparently. That makes alot of sense now. Unfortunately, even choosing to uncompress for export it still freezes. So ill see if I cant get your next trick to work. Sounds tedious, but it is what it is. Thanks again.
