user10577: I have a project in Premier Pro that is basically just stitching together a series of videos from a helmet camera into one video that is 4 hours 30 long. In Premier pro all looks good and I can watch the video in the preview window no problem at all.
The exported video is different though. It is fine up to about 3:26 but then it doesn't play. In windows media player I get an error if I try to move the play head past this point. The video was uploaded to youTube here: 



and you can see that it just removed the end of the video.
Is there some sort of limit on H.264 video length? I highly doubt that!
What can I do to start debugging what is going on here?
Thanks

user10553: The first place I would look would be in the encoder log files. If you used Adobe Media Encoder you will find the log files here:
Windows 7 & 8:
C:\Users\[user]\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\8.0\AMEEncodingLog.txt

Mac OS:
/Users/[user]/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/8.0/AMEEncodingLog.txt

To view the log file, choose File > Show Log or press CTRL + L.
There are two log files:

AMEEncodingLog.txt - for successfully encoded jobs
AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt - for jobs that failed, or were stopped by the user

See the help: https://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/log-files.html
Check the last entry in each log file and see if your video was encoded correctly.

If the log file points to an encoding error, investigate that
If the log file indicates no error then attempt to play the video in a different media player and see if the problem still persists  

I use VLC media player because I've found it to be most reliable.  There is also a debugging console in VLC that can be useful.
