Adobe + Voukoder Pro won't export to x264 (or much of anything, really)

  • I've been beating my head against this wall for a couple hours now, so I'm just tossing this out for you :) First pictures, then error logs.

    So, I uninstalled the deprecated program & connector for Adobe Media Encoder, and installed v2.0.2 of the Pro version. The designer is really neat, by the way :) So. Here's my pain. This is Adobe Premiere/Media Encoder v25.1 (the most recent as of this post), computer is Windows 10 and gets along with Adobe suspiciously well.

    Virtually everything I do is YouTube uploads, hence some of the options (or I was too tired to click my mouse again). As you can see in the "Designer" file, I'm running video through libx264, audio through AAC, muxing them to MP4, then tossing it in the output folder.
    You can see the options listed in the "Video" file, encoding via LIBX264, basically stock. Generally I'd mess with it more, but I wanted to just do the bare minimum of changes. "Audio" is just straight-up AAC, CBR 320, low complexity. The MP4 output has the faststart flag set.

    And now the horror that is Adobe presets. I tried to capture most of it in the "Fill size preset" image (Premiere is being a bitch and adding "_1" to the end of all my presets). This is just showing that I'm not doing anything weird except that I forgot to set the framerate to 60 for the screenshot. The "Smaller preset" image is the Voukoder Pro tab, I just left the color options alone.

    And now, on to logs. Or rather, not much, because Adobe gives me fuck-all for feedback. The first time I was playing with it, I was getting:

    (I think the selector was the same number). The most helpful info suggested that "Exit Code 20 comes when he required files are missing in the installer", but I don't believe that. Reinstalled anyway, just in case, and now all I get is:

    This is just as helpful as you might expect.

    I need to go fix my back and get some work done, hopefully this is something fairly easy!

    Can you please also copy me the voukoder pro log? It's usually in ...

    Code
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\VoukoderPro\logs

    Are you sure "Voukoder Pro" has write access to C:\LP\...? Can you for example try to export to your desktop?

    Can you perform a scene test? (Press the "Play" button in the designer app with your scene open)

  • Sorry, not ghosting, I just haven't been able to get to my computer yet! The Voukoder Pro log said I should go buy a license, so I did :) I'll catch up when I can!
