Adobe Media Encoder

Media Encoder 2025 (25.1), WindowsUnwanted behaviour/bug. -Media Encoder Automatic Shutdown will turn off computer if the user presses STOP on their queue.I think it's safe to assume if the user is interacting with the program, to STOP it, that they do not want to shutdown their machine. At the very least it should ask the user if they wish to shutdown."STOP" button ≠ Queue Complete

Hello everyone, I have a question, how can I use more memory and CPU usage during rendering in the media encoder? When I look at the activity monitor, they are not in high usage, even though everything is ok, I believe that my rendering could be faster if I used more processing power, but I don't know how to do this, can you help me? I will leave the PC specifications and images of the configurations below:Macbook ProM3 Pro18GB RAM*Premiere and media encoder are up to date and so is my operating system

Hello, great and powerful Adobe community.  I'm finding that no matter how I tweak my render settings, my video file sizes seem unreasonably large.  For example, today I rendered a 1hr Premier Pro edit using Media Encoder's YouTube 1080HD export preset, which produced a 1.8Gb file.  When I upload this 1.8Gb file to YouTube and then download it, the downloaded file is only 89Mb.  Seems like a huge disparity considering I'm using an export setting presumably optimized for YouTube specifically.  As you can see from my settings (below) I've got the target bitrates cranked down pretty low, to the point that the video quality already takes a noticable hit.  Any lower and the video quality is just poor.  What is YouTube doing to squish my 1.8Gb file down to 89Mb?  I notice a lot of 1080 video on YouTube looks crystle clear.  How can I acheive these small file sizes and still get acceptable video quality from Adobe Media encoder? - Preset Used:

I'm having a real doozy of a problem, and of course it's happening a couple of days before I have to send in a bunch of deliverables... On my current project, whenever I try to output anything, Media Encoder quickly uses up all my dedicated GPU memory, at which point it basically stops rendering. If I'm sending out multiple smaller outputs, each one eats up a chunk of GPU memory, and then the next one eats up another chunk - i.e. the usage increases step by step, instead of going up for one output, then down when that's finished, and up again for the next. The only way I can clear the GPU memory back to zero is to quit Media Encoder (and After Effects), so I pretty much can't queue up more than one output at a time - overnight batch renders are definitely out. Any thoughts? It's driving me a little crazy at this point. Switching to software-only in Media Encoder doesn't seem to help. One possibility: I'm working with ArriRaw footage - any bugs around that? We're in finis

I've created a lower third template on After Effects to use it on premiere pro, so I can change the name, etc. But when I send it to Media Econder, the effects that I put on the lower third (a neon effect) does not render on the video, just the forms of the lower third. But when I export on premiere pro the video come out just fine.

Hey everybody, I've been exporting video's in H.264 with NVENC Hardware Encoding for a couple years now, and it always has been working fine. But since today it suddenly doesn't work anymore. I've tried anything, I've updated my Nvidia-drivers to both the Game Ready and Studio Drivers, I've installed an earlier version of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder etc. etc. but nothing works. My hardware is:AMD Ryzen 9 5900XNvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super32GB DDR4 RAMSamsung 990 Pro SSD And my encoder settings are:H.2643840x2160p 25fpsProgressiveVBR 1-Pass (35 Mbps target with 45Mbps max) Look, It's never been asn issue, and now when I wanna export a video with the exact same settings it suddenly doesn't work anymore, and I've also tried on other videos which I previously rendered. Now they suddenly don't. Even more curiously. For some reason, when I wanna export an After Effects-project with those settings in After Effects it does work, but than when I wanna use Media Encod

Adobe Animate/Adobe Media Encoder Headache :   So on a Mac running Monterey, Media Encoder 25 is incompatible. There are no older versions listed for download.   On a Mac running Sequoia Adobe Animate (Formally Flash) is also incompatible, even if Media Encoder works...THEY NEED TO WORK TOGETHER.  Animate/Flash is not even listed as a compatible programe "with bugs" as some others are, that's how unuseable it is on Sequoia.  So Adobe, we're paying for this legacy laggard .  Would you like to give me back access to a compatible version of Media encoder, since, you know. We're paying for it?

Good afternoon. I'm struggling with Adobe Media Encoder 2025. I need to deliver multiple file formats of the same video. The way have handled this in the past is to have a watch folder containing 3 ingest presets that would recompress and rename each output.  AME has thrown an error in the past saying I could not use an ingest preset in a watch folder... I managed it anyway. Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to be working any more. This is the process I used before: Render demo.mov from AE to the watch folderAME would process demo.mov using 3 ingest presets to demo_LRES.mp4, demo_HRES.mp4, and demo_MEZ.mp4.I would then copy the 3 mp4s to the projects Delivery folder. I do this for dozens of projects a day, and manually renaming all of them would take up a considerable amount of time.  It would also open the door for naming erros.Does anyone know how to accomplish this without using ingest presets in watch folders?

Hello,I have couple of old video tapes that are on my HDD. They are in VOB format, I wanted to re render them to more usuable mp4 that we could play them on TV. Unfortunately some of them are render badly, audio is completely off and doesn't match the video, I've tried rendering it with MPEG as audio and AAC and its still causing an issue.I'm rendering it using High Quality 1080p HD profile. Original Video is in 4:3 format but its not causing an issue to go 16:9 and higher res. Video is fine, just audio is causing me an issue.

Hi all,I just realized that when I use the "add to AME render queue" in After Effects, AME creates a temp folder with copies of the AE project in it when it renders. The folder names all have _AME appended to them, and the .aep files inside all have tmpAEtoAMEProject-compname as prefixes. After I've rendered successfully, is it OK do delete these folders and files? They are taking up a LOT of space. I'm guessing that it's fine to delete them, but wanted to check just to make sure. I'm curious if there is any reason to keep them.Cheers,Lori

Something is there I've been concerned about My PC is configured with Ryzen 5500 and GPU is Intel Arc A380 and 16GB RAMWhenever I export my video,encoder barely uses my gpuAnd it takes too much time to export since I use the stock cooler in my cpuThe first one takes maybe 3mins to be rendered but next ones gets really laggyWhat should I do? Is there any settings that I have to configure so it can use my GPU?I have already selected Mercury Playback Engine OpenGL

Hi! I always have to export in two diffent file formats. Mp4 and mxl. For that I have two presets, Would be nice if I could apply them at the same time.

Media encoder is not installed on my device and even upon reinstalling and uninstalling this popup will still appear at random even if Creative Cloud is completely closed and it is not in use at all. I have tried signing out, repairing creative cloud and installing the version it seems to be stuck on (v.26.4.4) but this issue persists even after completely restarting my computer. No matter which option i press it continues to reappear and open the entirety of Creative Clourd Desktop at random.   

Is that true that after automatic Me update I lost all my custom presets I created before?If true, this is a serious bug that needs to be treated.

After updating my Premiere and Media Encoder, now when I send to Media Encoder to export, the captions disappear in Media Encoder.  I have "Burn Captions" checked and everything and it still doesn't work.

Why is there an option to set a global output folder in the preferences of the media encoder, if that feature simply does'nt work?? Every time I add a new file to the queue, it sets the output path to the windows system document folder, not the one I specified in the preference.  It would be much easier, if you let us set a local output folder in the presets. Instead, Adobe added lots of (barely useful) option to save to CC Cloud, Behance, Youtube, FTP,  Twitter. Vimeo, Facebook aso. But there is absolutely no option to set a local harddrive folder?Anyone can tell me how to set an output folder in a way that will actually set an output folder?

I made the mistake of activating HDR on my iPhone footage, went to export to Adobe Premiere Pro and had to make adjustments one by one to Rec 709. Is there any way to do this at once on multiple videos through Media Encoder?

I have Adobe Media Encoder installed on my system via Adobe Technical Communication Suite. My service desk has asked that I update it (due to a vulnerability being detected). I have tried updating through the TCS (Tech Comm Suite) installer, but it just re-installed the original version (22.6 Build 65), whereas apparently the product is now on a December 2024 release (v 25.1).Attempting to update through the application interface results in a "Updates have been disabled for this machine. Please contact your administrator." error - but all the other updates for TCS that I use (Captivate and RoboHelp) actively detect updates for the application (that the service desk installs for me, as I don't have admin on my work laptop). I do not know why I'd get the "updates disabled error" where everything else seems to allow updates (and nor does the service desk). I do NOT have a Creative Cloud subscription so can't update through that. Any guidance appreciated. Thank you

Please check if it has moved or been deleted. I've been having this issue for a few months. Everytime I try to render something from After Effects to AME it ALWAYS fails. Actually it doens't even start, it fails before starting to render anything. It happens with every single project, both in mp4 and quicktime (the two formats I usually use) and in general in every single situation. I'm basically not able to use AME ever. I always have to export through After Effects and it's extremely annoying since I am forced to stop working whenever I need to export. I was able to fix this issue in the past by changing "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" but now it started not working again and I haven't cha
