Media Encoder & Dynamic Link Server Failed

Sep 6, 2012 9:17 PM

Tags: #premiere_pro #media_encoder #dynamic_link_server #dynamic_link_server_failed

I want to set up a few sequences from Premiere into the Media Encoder to render overnight. Yet, everytime I try and put a sequence into the Media Encoder it just sits and the "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server..." for a few minutes until finally "Dynamic Link Server Failed" pops up.

 

Anyone know how I can fix this?

 

Thanks!

    Do you have any Internet Security software installed or 3rd party Firewall such as Zone Alarm?

    I have Kaspersky, but I've disabled it and it still doesn't work.

    Is it this one http://usa.kaspersky.com/products-services/home-computer-security/inte rnet-security ?

     

    If so it may have already written rules into your Windows Firewall Blocking this or network services may still be disabled.

     

    Go into Control Panel and Users and create a new admin account. Restart your system and log into the new account. Then try the Dynamic link again.

    Yeah it is that one, I'll give that a shot thanks! One little thing that I found interesting though, is I restarted my computer this morning and tried Dyanmic Link, and it worked. Yet, later that same day, I tried again with a different sequence and this time it didn't work...

    Alright, so I gave that a shot and it worked. But so did just restarting my computer before, so I'll have to test it again once I get some more footage.

    I've been searching/troubleshooting for days, none of the firewall, new shortcuts in folder, antivirus, you name it I tried it even wiped my system which seemed to work at first..

     

    What did it for me in the end was I had Dxtory (a software recorder, for recording gameplay) running on startup, and somehow it interfered with only Premiere projects in Media Encoder, I could still import AE projects go figure.

     

    Check all the programs you have running or use sometimes, if they have some sort of hook into other programs/deal with video/codecs this could be your problem too!

     

    Thanks to everyone trying to solve this problem!
