Adobe Media Encoder

Since recent updates to Adobe Media Encoder my Mac [3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 64GB Ram] stutters when I render anything! I thought buying the latest Mac would speed things up! The same render direct from After Effects or Premiere or a third party Encoder has no problem and I can carry on working. The renders take eaxctly the same amout of time!  Why is AME taking up all the CPU? I can't even use a browser while it is rendering!  Are there any controls to suppress the number of cores it utilizes? I have tried assigning RAM in different proportions to the Adobe packages. I have tried switching between hardware and software rendering. These does not solve the problem. Please help!  - Pete - Senior Editor    

I downloaded the media encoder cc 2020 and when I start the application it "crashes" on a screen saying "Loading liquify.prm". What do I do?

Hey guys,  I created a number of vertical videos (2160x3840) in After Effects rendered with the lossless preset. From there I used the YouTube 4K preset in Media Encoder to prep the videos for uploading to YouTube. With the videos now uploaded and playing back vertically beautifully and in 4K resolution on desktop, to my surprise they only play back on mobile (I've only checked iPhone) in up to 480p. I also tried rendering at other resolutions to see if it was a 4K issue. I tried full HD and 1440p and got the same low res results on playback from mobile.  Could this be a render settings issue? p.s. I have tried to seek help from YouTube but they don't seem to think it's a YouTube issue, although they weren't too helpful in general. Thanks in advance for any help. Example: https://youtu.be/i2F6KRCoXoc 

Has anybody experienced Media Encoder being unable to launch in ALL version of 14.3?I have had to roll back to 14.2 to be able to use it. Strangely, I get NO error message on screen at all.I'm using a 5K imac with 16GB of Ram and ALL the other Adobe software is working, just not Media Encoder. It looks to be loading, I see all the plugins across the splash screen and then... it just disappears! No warning, no message. I double checked activity monitor and it just doesn't launch. I use only a few plugins from FX Factory and keep on top of updates. I have even tried to delete these and nothing works. After effects and Premiere Pro are working just fine. Any thoughts or tips on how I can get it to work? And I have tried Command+Option+Shift whilst launching to reset the preferences. thanks in advance for any help.

I'm trying to transcode some footage into either DNxHR HQ UHD 25 or Apple ProRes 422 however when I do, the option to export video is greyed out and the finished product comes out as a large file with only audio. We shot in S-Log 2, UHD, 25fps, on a Sony FS7. I've attempted to transcode the footage on both a Mac and PC but I can't do either DNxHR or ProRes on either. I am on a student Adobe account. Thanks for your time. 

hihow can I render a still image in a 1-hour video with music in low size?lowering the Mbps will damage the imagedo you know any codec or file extension that can know if the video has an image and don't render it every second, hence 1 HQ image size + 1-hour WAV size = video sizeand is there any way I can do that with loop videos and low frame rate videos?thx

Hi! Since I updated to the 2020 version of Audition and Media Encoder, the Dinamic Link seems to fail. I've been trying to export a sequence from Audition to Media Encoder's queue, but it won't complete the action. What do I do?Thank you!

I'm trying to export an AE file through the Media Encoder, and it will open up AME but then no video will pop up in the window to start rendering. AE takes me to the encoder but then the video will not appear. I've read through threads and seen similar issues but not this one where it just doesn't show. Running AME 2019 13.1.5AE 2019 16.1.3macOS Catalina 10.15.6

In previous versions of AME there were reports of a very similar nature. But the previous solutions do not apply to the video I am trying to render.ISSUE:Sending a video to Adobe Media Encoder from Adobe Premiere results in AME getting stuck at the "Reading XMP" status notification.I have no solution that seems to work. Additional odd behavior is that Adobe Premiere Pro also seems to really struggle with making all my hard work available to others. The render times on Adobe Premiere Pro seem exorbitantly SLOW - but it will render directly. My AwesomenessiMac Pro 64 BG 2666 DDR4Intel Xeon W 2.5GHz 14 Core2x Radeon Pro Vega 64 16GBMacOS 10.15.6ADOBE software is all current as of this morning.PREVIOUS "workarounds" were posted - namely to delete your markers... in my case on this particular video, there are no markers.

Trying to render from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder it does this. It won't let me pause it either and I'm on the newest verisons of both ME and PP

When I export something into queue out of Adobe Premiere, which is the SAME version as my media encoder, it takes 5-10 minutes for that file to appear in media encoder. Then when I hit play to make it compress, it will give me the spinning wheel of death for 5-10 minutes before it begins processing. It's frustrating because I finish 6-8 sequences a day.. so waiting 6 x 5 mins = an extra 30 mins to 1 hour of starring at my screen to make sure those sequences show up in media encoder and it is just very time consuming. I recently upgraded to the 2017 latest version and before I upgraded, I was having no problems with the lag time. I tried purging all of my settings MULTIPLE times I cleared all cache I pressed shift when restarting and nothing helps. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else. Thanks!

Hi, SUPPORT!I studied the manual AME Scripting Guide (Release 1.0, Jul 30, 2020). And I found it impossible to programmatically set the framerange or timerange for render queue object (Batch Item Object). Can we expect the inclusion of such a function in the next version?Now this can only be done manually for each object in the render list:Including such a function in scripting will allow one video to be calculated on several computers of the render farm. Very Important!

When trying to import some media files I want to convert from H265 to H264 for use on an older smart TV that doesnt support the newer coded I simply get "the file format cannot be supported" as shown in the attached file.  I have tried purchasing the H265 codec from the Microsoft Store as per Adobes own official user guide under supported file formats. Absolute waste of money, doesnt even work with Windows Media Player properly (I use VLC media player with K-Lite codec pack, you can use K-Lite to install H265 into media player if anyone wishes to do so without wasting money on Microsofts solution that has a slim chance of working)  For the record I am using the very latest 2020 version media encoder and 2020 creative cloud. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both programs, searched countless solutions and drawn a blank. I pay for the adobe full suite monthly so I basically have access to all apps with the very latest software versions. I did find a solution tha

Hello.  I have some (dozens) of MOV files that I imported from a FireWire camcorder using iMovie on my Mac computer.  When I add any one of these MOV files as a source in AME 2020 14.3.2, it always reads the video length as 09:29.  I will encode the file, but it only encodes 09:29 worth of the file when the actual file is much longer.  The files open in QuickTime just fine.  I have tried this on multiple computers and various versions of AME 2020, but it appears consistent.  I want to say that there's something wrong with the MOV file when iMovie captured it from the camcorder, but I have no way to confirm this.   It only seems to do this with FireWire MOV files, as I have confirmed it reads file length of various other video files correctly. Does anyone have any ideas for this?  Any way to reset this somewhere?  Where is it reading the 09:29 from?  If the file is less than 9 seconds, it does read the file length correctl

Is it possible to set a time when the Media Encoder render queue would start automatically?This would be a great help, as I need to render to a shared drive, when it is not in use.I work with the Mac version of Adobe CC.Kind Regards,

Hello everyone, I am trying to export a video from After Effects into an animated GIF with Media Encoder.However, for some reason the colors in the final GIF are off (the preview is fine), but I only found disparities in color for orange and grey things (see picture), the rest is fine. I could not find a proper solution to this problem, since most solutions for color correction seems to be for the export form Premiere Pro to Media Encoder and not After Effects. Also, I am new to both After Effects and Media Encoder, please let me know if you need any further information. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!   

Hello all, Pls see attached. I have rendered 1 hour video, it is not finalizing the encoding. It stucked at this stage. Pls suggest solution. 

Export times have quadrupled. I have tested on 3 different iMacs, all with slow render times compared to 2018 Media Encoder.macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6 iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)3.5 GHz Intel Core i724 GB 1600 MHz DDR3NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB

So I was exporting this project, it is a 1.5 min 8k 60fps HEVC video, it just has some cuts and some basic Lumetri Color, and it was being exported to 100% quality JPGAt first, it was estimating ~ 23+ hours and when I checked CPU/GPU usage it was using basically 0% CPU and 100% GPU, but it was using the Integrated Intel GPU and not the more powerful Nvidia GPU. So I disabled the integrated Intel GPU using Device Manager (and it did work, after a restart, there is only one GPU in task manager which is GPU 0 - Nvidia) and I tried exporting again, and while it is faster and estimation says 13+ hours remaining, but it seems to barely use any CPU/GPU, The CPU was staying at 40-60% and sometimes spikes to 100% for like a split second, and the GPU was barely hitting 10% and was mostly staying at 0%. To me, this looks like some kind of bottleneck issue, but I don't really see what is bottlenecking the process, the CPU only has ~50% usage, The gpu has 0-10% usage and its also reading and writin

Dear all, I am trying open the media encoder but first when open to Media encoder , setupping plug-ins. that's when it comes off to optical flares

HelloMedia encoder CC no longer opens either directly or from the "export" command of premiere pro. Sometimes it opens but the coding is not done. I uninstall and then reinstall the software, no change. whereas until now for several years it has always worked well. Thank you for your help.Jean Luc

Exportei meu trabalho pela primeira vez e não reparei na mídia offline, ao pesquisar encontrei a solução de recolocar a mídia mas descobri q ao exportar o arquivo foi alterado na origem também, e agora como recuperalo.

For the past few days I have been working on an edit. In the After Effects timeline the edit is perfect with no issues. However when I render it in Adobe Media encoder, the edit gets a lot of lag and changes the edit. I put the AE project on a USB and put it on my laptop to see if it would render it properly on there. The render came out perfect on my laptop with no lag or alterations. It should work properly on my Mac and has done so for a long time, but for some reason it now doesn't. I haven't changed any settings on my Mac so I am very confused as to why Media Encoder is doing this. If anyone can help me out with this I would very much appreciate it. 

Hi Im using Ae 2020 and also AME 2020I made a project using trapcode form in it and when i add (by any means) to AME first it trys to connect to dynamic link server and then it says cannot open projectI checked and i could add simple sequences from Ae to AME (like a simple solid)My system is windows operated I checked the forums and people had quite similar problems but couldnt find a good solutionId be grateful if you guys help me out here

I know this was a feature available back in CC 2015, and just recently wanted to see if I could enable it again. There doesn't appear to be any documentation (at least in search results), as to whether or not it's available in CC 2018+?I'm looking to have After Effects / Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder provide push notifications to my iOS Creative Cloud app. The CC2015 version even let you see the render progress. This way I can be alerted when a render is completed and / or if it failed.Thank youStephen
