Adobe Media Encoder

When batch encoding images into video files, the default duration is five seconds. Is there a way to change the default duration duration of still images, like you can in Premiere?

Hi, really need some help here. I spent about 4 hours trying to figure this out. Tried all the solutions I saw posted including turing of the "Import sequences Nativley" making sure there is enough free space, clearing cache, reinstalling, restarting and none of it worked.  No matter what I do my comp when sent to Media Encoder from After Effects (via Add to Adobe Media Enocder Queue) are getting stuck for minutes when I try to access the settings window or when they start to render. For a 15 sec video I'm seeing delays of about 4 minutes.  I know these times are accurate as the screen shots have time stamps.  I uninstalled AE 22.5 and tried to roll back to 22.3 (I swear that used to work) along with removing ME 22.5 and installing both ME 22.0 and 22.3, but I had no luck. I then allowed AE and to update to the latest 22.5 and tried it with ME 22.0 even not keeping the prefernces, but again nothing. Not matter what I do it will take about 4 minutes just to open

The order of the Media Encoder queue has been reversed. Items are now added bottom-to-top and the queue runs in that reversed direction too. There is no option that I can see to revert this back. I assume this is a bug, as nobody would have requested this as a feature.

Title:Adobe Media Encoder Dock progress bar freezes and does not update on macOS 27Product: Adobe Media Encoder 2026Version: 26.3.2Operating system: macOS 27.0 (Golden Gate)Platform: MacDescription:After updating macOS to version 27.0 (Golden Gate), the progress indicator displayed on the Adobe Media Encoder icon in the macOS Dock no longer updates during an export.When an export is running: The progress bar appears on the Adobe Media Encoder Dock icon. The export itself works normally. The progress percentage and progress bar inside Adobe Media Encoder update correctly. However, the progress bar on the Dock icon appears and immediately stops at its initial position. It does not advance as the export progresses. The problem occurs consistently. This functionality worked correctly before updating macOS to 27.0.Steps to reproduce: Launch Adobe Media Encoder 2026 version 26.3.2. Add a video file to the Queue. Start an export. Observe the Adobe Media Encoder icon in the macOS

Is it possible to make media encoder remember presents and save locations? When I export from Premere Pro, it always reverts to a basic setting, and never the custom saved preset.Plus the export won't remember the last locations I want to save to.  I have to keep navigating back through folders. Nomally when I am on a project I only save back to the same folder. This would really speed thing up for me. Thank youJulian

[Bug Report] Critical NVENC Hardware Encoding Failure on HEVC (H.265) in Premiere / Media Encoder (v25.2 – v25.5 & Driver v616.92)Test Environment & System Specifications: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti RAM: 64GB DDR5 (6000MHz) OS: Windows 10 Pro (Version 22H2 / Build 19045.7725) Issue Summary: The HEVC (H.265) export performance in Media Encoder has degraded severely. Through systematic version testing, I identified that Media Encoder 2025 releases (v25.2, v25.3, v25.4, v25.4.1, and v25.5) completely dropped NVENC Hardware Encoding support for the HEVC (H.265) codec, while legacy 2023 (v23.6.9) and early 2025 builds (v25.0, v25.1) retained functionality under older drivers.Furthermore, updating to NVIDIA Driver v616.92 breaks NVENC hardware acceleration across all versions, leaving users completely without GPU-accelerated HEVC exports. This critical feature regression has remained unaddressed and broken for nearly a full year.Key Observations &a

Hi everyone,I'm facing a ridiculous issue with Adobe Media Encoder where it completely refuses to use GPU Hardware Decoding for Sony footage, even though the new RTX 50-series hardware natively supports it.My Specs: CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Driver: NVIDIA Studio Driver 610.62 (Latest) OS: Windows 11 The Problem: When exporting or creating proxies from Sony A7V source files recorded in XAVC S 4K 50fps (H.264 / AVC, High 4:2:2 Profile, 10-bit), Premiere Pro handles the footage fine, but Media Encoder completely drops GPU Decoding.Inside Media Encoder, Encoding is done via NVIDIA NVENC (GPU), but Decoding defaults entirely to the CPU.What I've tried: Hardware Decoding for H.264/HEVC and NVIDIA is explicitly checked in Preferences -> Media. Renderer is set to Mercury Playback Engine (CUDA). If I drop the XAVC S file directly into Media Encoder (bypassing Dynamic Link), it still ignores NVDEC. If I force-disable software decoding in the Consol

I have some serious issues trying to manage the queue in Media Encoder (v26.3.1).  I loaded 250-odd items into the ME queue. After a couple has processed, I changed my mind and stopped processing the queue (red Stop Queue button). I then closed ME down for the day.Next day, I restarted ME and I found that the Queue pane was empty with the status saying 2 of 252 items processed, a bad sign IMHO.  The Start Queue and Stop Queue buttons were greyed out. I dropped another file into the Queue pane and Start Queue turned green. I clicked Start Queue to start the conversion. ME then started processing the original queue contents from the previous night. Not what I wanted and a bit unexpected.It seems I need to clear out the old queue. There must be a way to do this but I can't find it. I can't select the files and remove them individually as the old queue members are not visible since I restarted ME.So, two questions:1) How do I clear the ME queue?2) How do I redisplay the queue members after

When I send a render to Media Encoder, it will encode the video using proxies instead of my high resolution media despite the option in media encoder not being checked. All of my footage is properly linked. I can enable/disable proxies in premiere pro and the watermark appears/disappears. The only way I can get it to behave is by disabling proxies in premiere pro first, and then sending the render to Media Encoder, which I’ve never had to do and is not the expected behavior. This has burned me several times on very long renders with short deadlines. Proxies seem to work as expected when I render directly from Premiere Pro.

As we prepare for the upcoming version 27.0 release of Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Audition, we want to share advance notice regarding hardware and OS compatibility changes across Windows and MacOS. Windows OS Requirements The minimum Windows OS requirement remains the same for 27.x: Windows 11, version 24H2 or later.  If you're on Windows 11 v23H2: You will be blocked from installing v27.0. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later.  If you're on Windows 10 (22H2, 21H2 LTSC): These OS versions are no longer officially supported by our video and audio products. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later to ensure compatibility and security with current and future releases.  If you're on Windows 11 v24H2 or later: No action needed. You can update to v27.0 as normal.  If you're on Windows Server 2022: You can continue installing and using v27.0 on Windows Server 2022. Starting with v28.0, install will be blocked on all Windows 10-base

If I export my project straight out of Premiere and skip AME the export is fine. If I export my project to AME the export that AME produces looks to be proxy quality.The file size is slightly smaller indicating to me it is using the proxies on export and not the source files.Export with proxies is unticked. 

Media Enconder esta en un estado constante de installacion, no puedo ver el progreso de descarga en Creative Cloud y cada vez que intento cerrar Creative Cloud sale el mensaje de “Installation of Media Enconder (26.3.2) will be disrupted)” ya reinicie applicaciones, sign-out/sign-in y reinicio de mac, nada funciono.

I have tried several different settings from Lightroom and AME but nothing is working.  The videos turn out dull and not accurate.  The exported TIFF are accurate to what is showing on the Lightroom Classic Develop settings.I have tried the following settings and combinations with no luck:HDR Graphics White (Nits): Based on Source, 100, 203 and 300Export Color Space: Rec. 2100 HLG and 2100 PQDepth: 16-bpcMaximum Render Quality (Checked) It isn’t the exported TIFF files because I got it work using DaVinci Resolve with no issue.  This is a Adobe Media Encoder issue.

Hello, I'm experiencing a critical hang on startup with Media Encoder that persists even after a clean reinstall and cache purge.I sent a massive batch of 127 heavy videos from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder to create proxies. Media Encoder choked on the massive queue, froze, and crashed.Now, whenever I try to open Media Encoder, it freezes indefinitely on the splash screen. After removing some conflicting third-party plugins (Film Impact) that it initially got stuck on, it is now permanently crashing on native modules. Specifically, it stops at: Cargando (177) ExporterBMP.prm.Troubleshooting already done (None worked): Cleared all Media Cache and Media Cache Files in AppData. Completely emptied the MediaCore folder (removed all third-party plugins). Deleted the Adobe Media Encoder folders in both Documents and AppData to reset all preferences. Uninstalled Media Encoder via the Creative Cloud Desktop App (choosing to "Remove" preferences) and performed a clean install. Attempted

About a month ago I noticed that when I exported an After Effects comp to Media Encoder queue, the comp never came through.Since, I have tried all avenues:Dragging the comp directly over from AE to ME, the ‘Dynamic link’ pop up, loads forever and never actually loads. Uninstalling and reinstalling both apps. Using older versions (not helpful though as my newer AE projects then don’t open). Making sure both AE and ME are the same versions. I’ve reset both and cleared caches.I’ve spoke to a friend who’s having the exact same issues so wondering if it’s an Adobe issue rather than my machine?I am using Render Queue in the meantime but much prefer Media Encoder so ideally need it sorting. Thanks!

 It does have a lot of effect layers but i have done one with 16 sec on a similar file and it render just fine even if it did take 19 hour to complete the rendering. i reduce the unused asset, check the preferences, made a new copy with just a 2 sec comp and even try rendering by after effect itself but that doesn't work either.  I need to know what can i do about this.this is the 2 sec one 

one of my users has a problem with Media Encoder. she has Media Encoder v25.1 and PremierPro 25.1. when a podcast (or file) is opened in premier pro, it can successfully be encoded, however when she tried to offload the same encode to MediaEncoder so that she can continue working in premierpro, it gives a message that there was an error downloading enhance speech.I have tested connection toTest-NetConnection podcast.adobe.com -Port 443 2Test-NetConnection cc-api-data.adobe.io -Port 443 3Test-NetConnection ims-na1.adobelogin.com -Port 443as true and successful, how can I fix this issue

I am migrating to a newer version of Adobe Media Encoder on my MAC (14.9 Build 48 to 24.6.1). I want to backup /migrate ALL Settings, Presets, workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, plugins, templates, scripts etc.  I found a few steps from a google search but want to check with an expert to make sure I am not missing any other files/folders that I should migrate over. Also, since I am migrating from an old version to new version ensure that I am copying over only the files needed to ensure a smooth transition to newer version. Thank you in advance! Here’s the steps I found:1. ~/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/[Old_Version]/This is the single most critical folder for Media Encoder. This directory holds your actual, custom-created Encoding and Ingest Presets (like custom YouTube, ProRes, or client-specific export configurations). [1, 2]What to copy: Look for a folder simply named Presets. Inside, you will see a collection of .epr files. Note: If you have ever used Adobe's Cloud Sync featur
