Anybody?

Does UT have an alph channel because many of the motion graphics I have are alph'd over video

UPDATE:

I have been running tests all day with cs6 on 3 different systems all using mpg2 footage & mixing in some avi's & such. 1920/1080i & p. & have found the following.

• ame CS5.5.2 does not lock up with the exact same project files
• When cs6 is faced with a few layers it tends to jam up ame.
• I really believe that ame is not able to handle much as compared to 5.5.2
• 3-4 layers with opacity adjusted & no other foreign elements causes ame 6 to choke
• Adding in avi's just makes it even more likely
• I converted the avi's to UT & to mpg 2 & sometimes ame will choke on them (if there are other layersas well)
• JUST DID A FRESH INSTALL OF PPCS6...ame still freezes with 3 layers mp2
• Also opened the same project in 5.5.2 & ame renders to mpg2 dvd perfectly with 6 layers with varied opacity!

I do have both cs5.5.2 & Cs6 on all my machines so this could be a variable as well.

Any Thoughts?

Uninstall cs5.5.2?

I hope Adobe reads this post. 3 different top of the line pcs's all acting the same with different projects & all updates installed.

Gonna go back to 5.5.2 until there is a resolution. What a shame:-(

• Thanks Nariman

• I have done at least 30x with PP & 30 with ame & they lock up around the same spots.
• If its PP doing the encode then PP freezes & I must restart it
• If it's ame doing the encode than I must restart it but PP stays open & fine
• No modual. Just freezes. If I'm using ame & watch the video as it is processed sometimes I see the image digitally get scrambled 2-3 seconds before it freezes.
• I have imported a cs6 project into a new cs6 project & it does not help
• I dropped the prj file into ame (Very cool didnt know i could do that) Still freezes & says "Reading XMP...) The gold progress bar is still turning but the video is frozen like a still about 1 minute into the seq. Then I must restart ame. After restarting ame & i try to drag the pp proj back in it says "connecting to Dynamic Link Server..." but it doesnt. Maybe have to reboot?
• I have tryed h.264 1920/1080 & "Match Sequence Settings" & it still freezes

Thanks for doing that Jim. I have 3 systems all behaving the same way with cs6 but 5.5.2 renders fine.I also have some avi's thrown in there too. If i remove the jumpbacks than usually i can encode fine with cs6 but cs5.5 had no problem with avi's in a mpg tl. I even converted the avi jumbacks to mpg2's & it still locks up ame when used with a couple of layers of mp2

Bars & tone are fine. I added 3 layers of avi jumpbacks above the bars & 50% opacity on each & it was fine in PP & AME

Just did 9 layers & it was fine ,

Mixed mpg, avi, bars, mts files

I dont know what to do. Are there any other ame/pp updates coming out soon?

Should I wipe the drive & do a fresh install?

I will try that thanks.

Just got done with a fresh test & I got an error message.

"Error compiling movie" Unkown error.

5layers( 1 mts, 3 mp2, 1 avi) it was yellow barred

Just tryed it a 2nd time & got erroe: Multiplexing has failed. Please recheck the settings & try again.

Just tryed to "Force render" the section & PP froze at 11%

After closing PP got error message: "Runtime Error! Program:C\Progra...

R6025 - pure virtual call

what do these messages mean?

Nariman,

I have notice that if I take off the adobe lower 3rd, my sequence transcodes fine. It is on top of 1 avi & 1 mp2 clip.

Is there any problems with the titler or an preferences i need to alter? Or a work around?

Thanks

I just confirmed what i feel is the issue (BUG) with PP/AME

• I can export through PP & AME 9 layers & more of mixed opacities, mixed PinP, mixed formats dv avi, additional filters like B/W, mpg 1920 (I am on a 1920/1080i TL) & have no problem
• Once i add a title over 2 PinP mpg2 layers above 1 layer of full size mp2  full size with opacity below 100% (also tryed dv avi) it locks up!
• We have confirmed this in all 3 of our systems, with different footage but with the same type of materials.

PLEASE Test :

• Mpg2 ntsc 1920/1080i Seq
• Layer1: Full size video set opacity to 50%,  MPG2 or dv-avi will do
• Layer2: MPG2 reduced size for PinP
• Mayer3: different clip  MPG2 reduced size for PinP
• Layer4: Adobe title

It locks up using PPCS6 & AME on all 3 of our work stations. Opening the same projects on all 3 machines in cs5.5.2 does not lock up during transcoding.

We have I7980's, 32 gigs ram, Raids, Cuda card......

Dima, thanks...your " Work Around" helped me get through the present job (took forever though)! FYI: My video card is on the Cuda approved list, isn't it?

I didn't think CUDA had anything to do with encoding though. I disabled hardware cuda for Software Only, on 2 of our systems & Everything transcodes  fine in PP & AME ( I did my 9 layer test, mixed formats & effects). But I get red bars on mostly everything now & need the CUDA as I am a total speed freek. What do I do?? I have 3 exact duplicate brand new 6 core i7 980 systems with nvidia Geforce GTX 570 cards.

FYI: I turned Hardware Cuda back on & it froze immediately.

What does this mean? Do I have to replace 3 brand new Videocards for something else$$. The card is on your approved list.  PP CS5.5.2 "Hardware Enabled" works flawlessly on all 3 systems with 9 layers + the Adobe title layer(which seems to be the determining factor in cs6) with the GTX 570's + yet CS6 cant go over 1 or 2 PinP layers + 1 title without freezing up.

Thanks so much for your help. LOVE ADOBE! LOVE your tech support!! Please advizzzzzzzze as i have many cs6 edits started already & are under a lot of pressure right now.

Steve

FYI: It seems to lock up equally whether AME Application or PP is being used to transcode...However, occasionally when PP locks up my mpg2 dvd transcoding, sometimes AME will not lock up. But this is rare. Just wanted you to be aware of this.

My videocard is:

EVGA 025-P3-1579-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) HD 2560MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
