Adobe Media Encoder

I have been working on a long video edit which has a lot of graphics on white backgrounds. When exporting videos I get into the habit of using maximum colour depth and use maximum rendering quality.  With a very long video, I often bring the target rate down to 4.  However, when I use the maximum colour depth option, the whites are becoming much more grey, than the prores in the final mpg. I checked the whites in after-effects with the pipette of the original footage and it looks like solid white. (As I have found that if there is a bit of colour, even 1% it can be re-interpreted as grey. However, this is not the case)I am not sure why this is happening, is there anything else which might cause this issue? Thank you  Best regardsJulian  

I'm still fairly new to Adobe. I need to use Premiere for work. I'm trying to export a 2.5 minute GoPro video into media encoder. I have it selected as H.264 match source- high bitrate. It opens media encoder 2020 and the file shows up from premiere. When I press the play button to encode nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I'm not great with the technical aspects of these programs. Any ideas how I can fix this? thanks!

My client has 1080psf23.98 footage.  Can Media Encoder 'read' psf footage?  There are plenty of DNxHR presets, but I don't see any that are for progressive segmented frame footage.   Here's what the client is asking for specifically: The show is being edited in Avid at 1080psf23.98 DNxHR LB, but any 1080psf.23.98 video codec will do for us. I recall Stacy mentioning your team will keep the same codec as the source footage, just adding the burn-in. Which would work great! The main thing is that the footage stays in 23.98 with matching source timecode. Thoughts?

I KNOW this is an ongoing PROBLEM!!!  Not an issue but a REAL PROBLEM!  I've read scores of these threads on CC in PP.  MPG2 lists the option but when you apply it to anything in the Queue, it vanishes.  What's the deal Adobe? Working on an iMac with High Sierra 10.13.6Memory: 32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MBBlackmagic Design: Intensity ExtremePremiere Pro: 14.0.0 Build 572.

Hi,The problem happens when trying to render Premiere Pro sequences which contain After Effects compositions.This problem is only occurring when rendering with Adobe Media Encoder. This is my usual workflow: 1. I edit sequences in PP which contain audio and video.2. I switch to AE to produce animation and titles, then I drag and drop the AE composition into the PP project bin, in order to use it into the sequence timeline described in point 1.3. If I render the timeline using PP no problem occurs, BUT if I render the timeling through AME, the rendering process does not even starts, AME rendering queue just freezes at 0%.  Extra specifications:- AME Error Report does not show any problem. It just says "operation stopped by user" as I actually force quit AME after it freezes.- The problem does not occur if rendering directly in PP or AE.- The problem ALWAYS occurs when the PP sequence contains any AE composition, no matter if compositions are pretty simple, no matter

Hi,After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder aren't rendering. I usually "Queue in AME" but when I do that it says "Connecting to project" forever and never does anything. And if I try to hit stop or pause it crashes. So then I tried rendering in AE and when I did that it came out a black screen and said error. I've tried reinstalling AME, pressing shift while opening it, I even left for like 2 hours while it said "Connecting to project" and when I came back it hadn't gone anywhere. Then I went and tried to render an old project I rendered a while ago already and it wouldn't even do that.Please help me I'm loosing my patience as this has been going on for a few weeks and I'm unable to render out anything. Thanks, Chloe

 I use a macbook pro 2019 and it keeps failing when i get to a certain point whats the issue.

Hi,I want to create mpeg-2 videos with 608/708 captions. I drop a .mcc file into the Premiere Pro timeline. Then I want to export out mpeg-2 files for broadcast. I can create .mxf files with the captions. Why can't I create mpeg-2 files with captions? What settings am I missing. I have "embed captions" selected.Thanks,Jason

Hello, I have been looking for reasons why media encoder is stuck on software only and could not find any up to date answers. Whenever I try to encode anything using H.264 I cannot change the setting. Its just locked to software only. I have a pretty beefy computer and it would help if I can use the hardware encoder option. My specs are: Ryzen 7 3700x overclocked to 4.2 GHz, Nvidia RTX 2080, 32gb RAM @ 3200Mhz. Before I switched to Adobe CC I was using Davinci Resolve 16. Encoding only took about 25 minutes for a 45 minute project rendered at 1080p 60fps. Using the same project in Premiere and media encoder it takes between 40-45 minutes. Anyone know if there are any workarounds, or is the hardware encoder only avaliable to intel processors? If it is an option to only intel processors can Adobe consider adding support for AMD Ryzen processors, newer generations are a lot better performers.Thanks!

Hey guys, Anyone ever experienced this before? My timeline in premiere looks ok, all the files are ok. nothing is missing from the timeline or project. But I'm not sure what is this "sequence identifier" that is missing, someone help me, please. I'm nearing the delivery stage of my video project and this is the first time I've ever encounter something like this. I have 10 video output but only 6 videos were able to be rendered. The rest just prompted me the same error. -Encoder won't start the render-Nothing happens when I click on preset or format in AME P/s I just updated my Premiere and AME yesterday to the latest version. Any Premiere Guru/Sifu out there willing to help.... Thanks!

Hey!I'm in a super frustrating situation were rendering a video via the add to render queue (media encoder) is taking literally 4 hours to render a 24min video...surely this isn't rightSpecs of the MacBook: OS: I'm running the latest Macbook on OS Catalina 10.15.2Processor: 2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7Ram: 16GB 1600 Mhz DDR3Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB Note: I'm running ZERO other programs while rendering, ALL files within the document that are being rendered are on my desktop (aka SSD), not an external drive of some kind See below for the specific exporting setup. The document itself is a single screen recording, with another video on top and just some audio files - nothing crazy  Any help would be much appreciated, I'm thinking it shouldn't be taking this long but I'm not sure what to do

Grumpy hi... Everything was running smoothly, but AME doesn't start anymore.Neither when I try from After Effects nor from the Adobe creative cloud.This extends aswell to Premiere Pro which won't start aswell! All I get is the starting loading square... which then disappears.I've uninstalled and reinstalled every softwares, cleaned my registry, still not working... Anyone having the same issue?

Is there an API for Media Encoder?I heard that local port 8080 is open.

Hello,I recently purchased the Creative Cloud package, and I've been trying to render this video for almost a week. Whenever I try, however (no matter if I use Media Encoder or Premiere itself), I invariably get a bluescreen crash. The latest error code is 0x00000050, but it's been different every time, and this doesn't happen with anything besides Adobe programs.Specs:OS:Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 TiCPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz, 3696 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)RAM: 64GB   Title edited by Mod

I have a situation, where I need a small (96x54 px) video compressed in H.264 - but the problem is that the encoder apparently can't be set lower than 0.19 Mbit/s and I need it set to around 0.1.Is there a way to accomplish that, either directly, using work-arounds or perhaps using another encoder (suggestions, please)?

Hello,   since today I can not export any file from ?? I can't neither export directly nor via Media Encoder? It seem it starts "somehow" but nothing happens. It stays at "0%". PLEASE HELP.   Thank you.     Title edited by Mod

Hello, I'm curently having issue rendering my video with Media Encoder from After Effects. I don't know anything about video rendering so excuse my lack of knowlegde. So, I'm trying to render a small promo clip for our trade show for a 1920x1080 screen. But whatever I do when I send the video to Media Encoder, the format gets "squashed" in height, leaving me with a deformed final render. I've look up so many solution online nothing that I do change this. Media Encoder keep resizing my video. What strange to is that when I render directly from After Effects, the video keep its aspect ratio. I realy don't know what to do from here and hope that someone can help. I'm gonna leave some screenshots here (in french)  to help but like I said, I'm don't know much about video rendering and format. Thank you  

I just set up a render farm for the first time so I can continue working on my computer while rendering. I have the files being shared through cloud and synced locally to the farm, where AME then pulls the projects and files from a watch folder. However, my project came back looking like this.Sending a project to AME from within AE doesn't reproduce this, it only happens if AME grabs the project on its own from the watch folder. I've never rendered this way before, I've always just ditched my computer while it rendered for a day, but I'd like to get this to work without me having to open the project on the farm and manually send it to render. Google isn't producing any answers. Help? 

It just feels like EVERY TIME i have a deadline and normally right at the end of the project when it comes the time to render/export, After Effects or Media Encoder finds some new and unique way to give me problems..   If it's not some bizarre installation or authorisation issue, it's AddToMediaEncoder queue doing nothing.  Or it launches MediaEncoder and doesn't add to queue.  Or it complains DynamicLink isn't working.  Or even adding the composition to the queue manually via MediaEncoder looks like it's working but the progress spinner loading composition bar thing just spins and spins and spins.  Or some other new way that i haven't hitherto experienced..And so after navigating my myriad of versions of MediaEncoder and testing each one, i decide to take my life in my hands and open Creative Cloud desktop and and look for an update.  But do i update ONLY MediaEncoder, or also AfterEffects - if i update AE i might end up with plugin problems which i don't

I am on Windows 10. Everytime I attempt to install Media Encoder-- it freezes at 44%. I have tried several times every day for a week. 44% every time. I've left it at 44% for hours on end. Someone help.   Title edited by Mod

Since I updated to Media Encoder 14.0.1, I have one project that fails to render. It works fine when I revert to 14.0, and other projects seem to work fine in 14.0.1. This is /Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/15.0/logs/Adobe Media Encoder.log (with my name & ID removed). If there's something else that would be useful to post, please let me know. Reverting to the old version is fine for now, but obviously this isn't a great long-term solution...Log file created: 1/20/2020 2:19:37 PM ---------------------------------------- Ticks = 219 <18908> <DynamicLink> <5> Attempting to launch dynamiclinkmanager Ticks = 219 <18908> <DynamicLink> <5> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2020\dynamiclinkmanager.exe Ticks = 375 <18908> <DynamicLink> <5> Increase wait time to 2 Ticks = 2219 <18908> <DynamicLink> <5> Attempting to launch dynamiclinkmanager Ticks = 2219 <18908> <DynamicLi

Hi,Amateur Premiere user updated Premiere then discovered newer versions beyond 12.0 were beyond my hardware limitations (graphics card, five year old PC). I'm successfully back to Premiere 12.0 but now I can't create proxies because AME is the wrong version (I need 12, it's 13). I see Adobe doesn't offer old downloads. Any chance someone can't point me to somewhere I can still get AME 12.0 at this late date? Thank you,AP
