Adobe Media Encoder

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.

I am having a problem with Media Encoder 2025. I tried to redering my video and it gave me the following error I tried a second time and the same thing happened. Export ErrorError compiling movie. Accelerated Renderer Error Unable to produce frame. Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: D:\ΒΙΝΤΕΟ SONY CANON\My child.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00:00:00:09Rendering at offset: 0,000 secondsComponent: H.264 of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: -1609629695

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

I keep getting this error message (amecommand Initilization error 1), when I try to render a video in Photoshop & Photoshop Beta, both the newest versions.I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, Bridge & Media Encoder, but still doing the same thing. I restarted laptop (macbook pro), restarted the apps, uninistalled the apps then did a laptop restart before reinstalling, and still.. no luck.   I tried to open Bridge to render through there, but Bridge keeps force quitting before it even fully loads the app, so that's of no use. Older versions of Photoshop and Bridge did not work either and produced the same out come (photoshop still gives error message when renderinig video and Bridge force quits when app is is loading up)An Adobe employee responded with this since I originally posted in the Photoshop forum: "When you work in Photoshop, it is just sending the file over the Media Encoder.

As in the previous published ME version this fall, HDR export with native Canon Log3 in Rec2020 is still not working. It looks as if a LUT is missing, but the project in PP is w/o LUT as native import. This was working before until ME version 25.0.

Hola! Necesito ayuda con el color de un video.Ayer empece a exportar un video de Premiere Pro a media encoder. La primera vez que lo ocupe, un leí que habia que desabiltar la casilla de "Importar secuencias de forma nativa" lo hice y al exportar el proyecto, el color era el especifo hecho en premiere pro.  El video esta en 4k y lo exporte en H265 Hoy al intentar exportarlo de nuevo, no me copia el color adecuado. lo he intentado exportar en h264, h265, HD, UHD, es decir todas las combinaciones posibles y el problema persiste.les dejo un screenshoot de el primer color exportado con y sin secuencia de forma nativa. 

Últimamente Media Encoder no hace más que causarme problemas, pareciera que de forma aleatoria decide renderizar con la CPU en lugar de la GPU. Si renderizo dentro de Premiere, veo en el administrador de tareas que se usa en su mayoria la GPU y el renderizado es rápido. Si renderizo EXACTAMENTE EL MISMO PROYECTO dentro de Media Encoder la mayoría de las veces renderiza usando 100% del CPU y tarda mucho, pero mucho más tiempo. Entonces esa respuesta que leo en todos lados de que "ciertos efectos usan gpu y otros no" no tiene nada que ver. El mismo proyecto pasa de durar 1 hora de renderizado en Premiere a durar casi 6 horas dentro de Media Encoder.

An adobe emplyee instrructed me to post this issue here because he believes its a Media Encoder issue:I keep getting this error message (amecommand Initilization error 1), when I try to render a video in Photoshop & Photoshop Beta, both the newest versions. I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, Bridge & Media Encoder, but still doing the same thing.

Did Adobe end WebM Support for Media Encoder 2025.1? It worked for previous versions. When I try to import the preset, I get a message "Preset could not be imported. No exporter found for this project. Mac OS 14.6CC 2025

Hi guys,My media encoder fails to render lately. It doesn't matter to which codec I export, nor which project, nor which software I use (AE / Premiere Pro)I constantly get the message attached under here. I already deleted the cache files form all software, reinstalled media encoder, etc. etc... but nothing works. The weird thing is that the fail-message isn't right. It keeps referring to an old project. While I'm exporting to Prores it keeps talking about H.264Any ideas?Specs from my workstation:Media Encoder CC2019 v13.0.2MacPro mid 2013 6 core, os 10.14.4 Thanks a lot!Fail message:------------------------------------------------------------ - Encoding Time: 00:00:3004/02/2019 12:05:10 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: QuickTimeWriting to file: /var/folders/dn/qgg854594d5_77w0b86b66040000gn/T/Untitled Project_AME/Comp 1.movAround timecode: 00:00:00:

Hi there, Here's what I'm doing:  I have a 4k video of someone talking to camera, so to add variation, I zoom in and out to different fixed positions. (I.e. scale to 100%, to 120% and 140%).  To make things easier for me, I set up different adjustment layers with a transform effect on them (on source) and scale to taste so I can then drop them on the timeline whenever I need to. I name them accordingly, "camera 1", "camera 2", etc... When I render via Premiere, things look all right:  But when I render using Media Encoder, the issue appears:  Media Encoder seems to be scaling from the upper corner of the videos instead of from the center of the videos... So I don't know if it's a bug nor what might be causing the issue. Do any of you have an idea why this might be happening? I'm using Windows 10, the version of Me is 25.1 (Build 65) and Pr is 25.1.0 (Build 73) Best,Mauro.
