In Premiere Elements ver 7, I have put together a 4 1/2 minute video made up of mpeg4 HD 720p mixed with regular avi digital footage. I am having memory errors and export errors when trying to render into a wmv or mpeg file.?When working on previous videos with non-HD footage, I didn't have these issues. I also recently put together a 1 minute mpeg4 HD 720p video rendered into HD 720p wmv file without any issues.
1) memory errors - I got these when I was putting the video together and when rendering. After a lot of restarting the PC and reworking the video, I was able to finally complete in pre-render format.?It includes music soundtrack and transitions/effects.
Here are my PC's specs:
Dell Inspiron 530 with Intel Quad Core CPU 2.66Ghz processor
4 GB RAM
32 bit OS
Windows Vista SP1
When rendering, I get the ''caution - low memory, save your work'' message. I have since set the virtual memory paging file size per Technote kb404939.?This seems to have helped a little bit but still getting the message even though it continues to render....but then I get the export error message....
2) Export errors - I first tried to render into a wmv HD 720p 30fps file. In the first 1 of 2 rendering phase, I got the ''Export Error - failed to return a frame - cancelling operation'' message. I checked for gaps in the timeline and there are none. Even though I do have some black space/dip to black sequences, I can ''page down'' through the entire movie without any pauses or hiccups with the CTI (Current Time Indicator).
I then tried to render into a smaller wmv LAN speed file, and it went through the first 1 of 2 phases rendering (with the low memory message but it kept on going). Just after it started into the 2 of 2 rendering phase, I got an error message saying ''Export Error - Unknown Error''.
What to do? I'm very frustrated at this point after a great deal of time invested in this video and troubleshooting the issues. Please help. Thanks.
PE 7 memory and export errorsWhat are the sources of your video? What types of camcorders did this video come from?
Premiere Elements supports AVCHD video, but does not work well with video from Flip and webbie camcorders, which use proprietary codecs. They can also use non-standard frame rates. Conversion is usually necessary before the files can be edited in Premiere Elements.
And does your DV footage come from a miniDV camcorder captured over FireWire? And what project settings are you using in Premiere Elements.
I would also not recommend mixing HD and DV footage in the same project. This could also be contributing to your problems.
I also recommend you visit Windows Update and manually download any (even non-critical) updates. Vista should be at least on SP2. You may also want to download the latest version of Quicktime.
