Adobe Media Encoder

Hi there,  I'm trying to encode a timeline of prores4444 footage to a h264 and up till yesterday this worked fine. Now, suddenly I'm getting stranger render mistakes on the sides of some frames in the video. No matter what export settings I use, this glitches pop up in 3 to 4 frames of the clip (see left side of the frame on the attached image).  Does anyone have a idea why this is happening? Again, yesterday I had no trouble at all making an export. Hope someone can help out.  

I am exporting 5 sequences at a time - just video files, no effects or any adjustments in the native PP sequence. It completes each sequence, but everytime it doesn't move on to the next one - I have to manually pause the queue, and then start it again for it to move on. Any ideas? Mac Pro (Late 2013) runnng Catalina.Encoder v14.2 and PP v 14.2

The lastest update has completely haulted my workflow. AME was estimated to take 2 hours to render a 5 second HD MOV from AE.The same clip has now taking over 40mins to render straight out of AE.  For reference; the clip features a looping PNG sequence of animated text, with a drop shadow effect.And one image with a non animated grain effect added, that eases into a scale up.Clips of similar size and complexitiy took less than a minute to render before the upgrade.  Furthermore when I go to stop or pause my queue in AME it crashes the whole program.  

I'm working on a super high res project - 10320x1080, for a widescreen projection at a live event. Working on the project in After Effects, I sent my composition to Media Encoder queue. Once in AME, I tried exporting as MOV, 264, 265, HAP (using AfterCodec addon). Everything fails. Sometimes the result is an audio track with no video, and other times it fails to render at all. I tried expoting from AE render as an AVI, and then importing into AME, and had the same result. I tried lower resolution files, and those worked fine. Working solely in AE, I was able to export the full resolution file as h265 using the AfterCodec plugin as expected. Worked fine. Not sure why nothing seems to work in AME, because that's the way I prefer to work.

Whenever i try to encode a project i have downloaded from Envato elements i get this message not really sure whats going on here any help would be appreicated also it was created in after effectsThank you-Ryan- Encoding Time: 00:00:2406/20/2020 01:44:21 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: Apple ProRes MXF OP1aWriting to file: C:\Users\extre\AppData\Local\Temp\Boxing and Gym (converted)_AME\ _EDIT_COLOR.mxfAround timecode: 00:00:00:05Rendering at offset: 0.000 secondsComponent: Apple ProRes MXF OP1a of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: -1609629695------------------------------------------------------------- Encoding Time: 00:00:2006/20/2020 01:50:59 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: Apple ProRes MXF OP1aWrit

When I try to leave various videos encoding from Premiere Pro on Media Encoder and normally the first will encode and export but after that, after a few hours it just crashes. Please help me as I need to export many videos overnight and it just wont work.   I'm on a   Model Name: MacBook Pro  Model Identifier: MacBookPro15,1  Processor Name: Intel Core i7  Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz  Number of Processors: 1  Total Number of Cores: 6  L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB  L3 Cache: 9 MB  Memory: 16 GB  Boot ROM Version: 220.240.2.0.0 (iBridge: 16.16.3133.0.0,0) The log is here below says that the operation was interrupted by user, but I never interrupted it.Thanks in advance!------------------------------------------- Source File: /var/folders/c2/f4qry61d19b3slg5l1t9hq_80000gn/T/Mariachi 360 May 18 C_4.prproj- Output File: /Volumes/4TB RsE 2020/2020 Photos/Mariachi 360 Songs/La Bamba Rachel Bday Dad_1.mp4- Preset Used: Cust

I'm trying to queue a video from Premier Pro. AME launches, but the video never shows in the AME queue. Using AME 14.2, Premier Pro 41.3 Build 38. This used to work, but I think actually the issue cropped up shortly before the latest application releases I got. The problem persists with the current ones.  How can I troubleshoot this annoying problem? 

When I'm encoding video files the Media Encoder app uses over 300% of the CPU according to my task window. Therefore my Macbook becomes slow, heats up and eventually crashes. Is there any way to limit the percentage of CPU Media Encoder can use?

Hey guys, i have a big YouTube channel and cant render some projects.I worked on them for a long time and it’s very disappointing.When I mounted a video in After Effects, I try to render it in AME, after which I get an "The project could not be opened" error.It works with half of the projects, some quietly opens and renders, and some do not want to open!Projects are essentially no different, the same effects, templates, etc.The version of AE and AME are the same, 2020. The language is also the same, both in English.Already covered all the forums and the entire Internet and still could not find a solution to the problem. Your help is very necessary!   

Hi,I am having issues trying to render to h.264 a 4416x1780 comp from After Effects.A few months ago I was able to do this (with h.264) before but now it limits my render to 4k max (4096px) Tried h.265 (i was under the impression that this codec was meant for larger sizes) but the render doesn't even start. It just goes to "failed" and displays a "!" symbol. I know can render in ProRes and convert with Handbrake but I was wondering if anyone has any pointers to do it directly in Adobe Media Encoder without the extra steps. As I need the final product to be an h264 or h265 mp4 file. PS I am running the latest versions of all the Adobe products as of this date, with terabytes of free space, on an iMac Pro. Thank you!

I've spent a week using Adobe Media Encoder to perform basic tasks which I used Premiere for and the amount of time saved has been significant. Therefore, I'd like to know if the following can be done in Media Encoder in a single encoding session: Trim and stitch simulatenously. For instance, I have A.mp4 and B.mp4. I'd like to remove 1 minute from the end of A.mp4 and 1 minute from the beginning of B.mp4 before stitching them together into one video file in their alphebetical sequence. The settings window doesn't allow cutting a clip in the middle. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I have been trying to export my movie on Character Animator using media encoder on my Windows 10 laptop. after days of constant "fails" and holding on the same frame every time I don't know what's wrong. my best guess is that its a memory RAM problem. I keeping getting "Bad allocation" on CH. I've tried cleaning the cache files and boosting the memory in preferences with no luck. Is there a trick to fix this that doesn't include buying or updating hardware?   I have 8GB of Ram so is there a way to play at a slightly lower quality to help this? Sorry I am new to all of this but it keeps constantly failing or freezing on the same frame and a few times bugging out and corrupting the original file so CH can't read my original video. I would be extremely grateful for any advice and I can't provide more info if needed!  

I am creating "virtual choir" videos, so I receive videos from 15 to 20 choir members. These videos are all shot on whatever consumer equipment the choir members have, from cellphones to laptop cameras to digital cameras. And they are large, typically around 200-400 MB each. For these videos, the video quality isn't super important - it's just their smiling face singing the song. But the quality of the sound (such as it is) is really important since it's a musical production. So, I've been running them through Adobe Media Encoder to "shrink" them, presumably while maintaining the audio quality and not degrading the video quality noticably. My question is: Are the settings I'm using reasonably optimal for this scenario? I start with this preset:   Format: H264  Preset: Match Source - Medium bitrate then I tweak the Audio settings:     Sample rate: 48 KHz    Channels: Mono    Audio quality: High And a related question:

Hi! im working with 4k footage and my laptop can hardly keep up, i used to create proxies for this types of files but now, encoder does not work AT ALL. As soon as i hit the button to start rendering the program just crashes. This happens whether i open encoder from premier or in its own. Both premiere and encoder are up to date. It is extremely frustrating and destroying my workflow 

Hello Adobe Community, I have been watching a fair bit of streams online, and have been recording them with a software called Streamlink. This will output the stream to a .ts file, which I would then transcode to a .mp4 and .mp3 file. However, there is an issue. When I import the stream into Media Encoder, it takes 1-2 minutes, and then when I try to export to mp4, it outputs a blank file as seen below.  Additionally, when I click to see the output settings, It shows that the video is 0 seconds long, when it is about 1 hour long. It also shows a black preview screen.I feel like it has to do with the filesize, since these files can be upwards of 2gb each. However my PC has no problem importing other types of files much larger than this one. So it has to do with the MPEG-2 implementation in this product

I'm converting an AVI to MP4. I want it to be exactly the same in quality, format, scale etc. I have it set to H.264, with a preset of Match Source- High Bitrate. When it converts the video it is zoomed in and distorted. The output preview shows the entire file and it looks like the original. What are the proper settings to have it duplicate the file exactly? 

I just downloaded after effects for the 1 month trial and when I want to export a project using Adobe media encoder 2020 , the app just freezes. I don't want to continue with the trial if I can't use this to export anything

I stopped using AME a couple of months ago when all my projects would fail, and would export my projects through render queue, but with the file it keeps crashing upon export. When I press queue to AME, it opens up but nothing shows up to the queue. Then I tried clicking file and add after effects composition and got this error. Obviously I have after effects downloaded on my computer, but i need help connecting it to AME, if you know a fix please let me know. Thanks !  

I've been trying to export an AE comp for the last couple of hours but I keep getting the "-1609629695" error. I've tried many things such as updating both AE and AME; checking if there's any corrupt file at the encoding time given (seem's like there isn't but I'm not entirely sure); changing the renderer to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only"; changing the project's name, as well as the comp's name; and many other things. Nothing has worked so far Could someone please try helping me? thanks a lot in advanced

Hi all,  Iv been having on going issues with Media Encoder over the last few weeks. As of the beginning of this week though it seemed like everything was working again up until today when I have a deadline due (Murphys Law) I have been rendering this project for 2 hours and now it is hanging on 6 minutes left and no longer rendering. Im dreading to stop the render and try to rerender another 2 hours and it happens again? Has anyone figured this out? Please help, Media Encoder has really become the problem child of the Adobe apps UPDATE: So out of interest I decided to render the same project natively in After Effects and turns out, it rendered an hour faster and was successful as an mov. My faith in Media Encoder is declining rapidly.

given a video from canon dslr encoded to MP4/MOV H.264 4:2:0 (Full Range),why is it that after warp-stabilizing it in ae,media encoder will encode it back to h264 - at 10x smaller filesize for default bitrate- at 2x smaller filesize at maximum bitrate?

Is there any way to convince AME to preserve CC data in files when converting?  I work at a TV station and I need to occasionally flip shows and commercials from whatever format they come in to MPEG2, but I can't seem to get AME to preserve the CC text streams in the files.  Currently I have a watch folder set up and I just drop whatever needs flipping into that and let AME do it's job with a specific preset I've made to best match our play-out system.  I'm using 2017 and 2018 with the same results.

Hello,I am very new to this but I keep having the same problem that I can't seem to fix. I'm encoding a 15 minute video on a Windows 10 laptop from After effects. the video encodes for a few hours but always freezes on the same frame. I've tried H.264 and DNxHR HQ. the media Cache and media database are on different hard drives. again, I'm very new to this and not sure what information is needed or what i'm doing wrong. I would be greatly appreciative for any kind of help! Thanks so much!
