Body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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: </p>
  
  <p><div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                  <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bTDuNp7WNMg?start=0"></iframe>
              </div></div></p>
  
  <p>and you can see that it just removed the end of the video.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some sort of limit on H.264 video length? I highly doubt that!</p>
  
  <p>What can I do to start debugging what is going on here?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

  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:**
  
  1. AMEEncodingLog.txt - *for successfully encoded jobs*
  2. 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
