I've used MPEG Streamclip (free) with success exporting as MP4..(but you can use other settings as well incluing.mov). there is an article on my blog, I got the settings from a guy on DVInfo, I believe I linked to his posting over there in the piece. I have a piece up on Youtube that I did with those settings

Thanks Bill,

I'll take a look at it once I get back to my Editing Desk!

Ok, unfortunately all suggestions I received didn't work (But thank you to everyone who did offer a suggestion). I did however find a solution to my problem that I'll post just in case someone else has the same problem I did.

The problem, first of all, is that Adobe Media Encoder is sometimes not very stable. So when you render a heavy file such as HD footage with a lot of effects and transitions it has a hard time rendering with good quality sometimes when you use some codecs that otherwise would be ok. So how did I work around that?

Simple! (well not as simple to figure out). While doing some searches, someone somewhere suggested that they use dynamic link for a totally different reason with going from After Effects to Premier. I have always been more impressed with the stability that After Effects has when it comes to rendering even though it's not the best for NLE. So I went ahead and made a dynamic link by dropping my Premier project into After Effects and had After Effects render out the file using the codec I needed. Guess what! It worked!!

So in short, if you are having a problem rendering your Premier file though AME, try a dynamic link to After Effects and render from there first. It might take a little longer to render, but the outcome might work out better for you! Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem

-Jeff
