Adobe Media Encoder

So I know that there are (or maybe now its "used to be") royalty fees for using the h.265 codec.  Is it okay to use the h.265 codec, or will I get sued/slapped a fine for using it to compress for the web/youtube?

The .mov file includes me talking directly into the mic. The .mov file plays fine on both the iPad and my desktop machine. However, when I try to convert it to .mp4, there is no sound in the output file. I’ve restarted the machine. I deleted the “Media Cache” and “Media Cache Database” folders, and then did a shift restart of Media Encoder. “Export Settings” are set to enable both audio and video output.I tried “Export Settings: Multiplexer: MP4.” I also tried setting “Multiplexing” to none. I set the output audio to “mono” and also tried “stereo.”I imported the original .mov into Premiere Pro (CC 2015) to check the audio tracks. The two audio tracks plays within Premiere Pr

I recently updated to the latest version of CC.  I have been using Adobe Media Encoder for years to export to h.264 Blu-Ray in a transport stream format.  When you select transport stream.  The only audio choice is Dolby Digital.  Since the 2018 CC update it appears Adobe has decided to take the Dolby Digital feature away and no longer allow this preset to work.  This is very frustrating.  When you attempt to use it you get the following error:it appears that you must now purchase the Dolby Codec separately.  First, shame on you Adobe for sneaking this in.My question is this:Is there any way to chose a different Audio Codec for Transport Stream?  Or does h.264 only support Dolby Digital?   I had thought in the past it supported AAC.  Does anybody have a workaround for this?

Noticed something very strange when using Media Encoder to encode AS-11 DPP files - we select the four audio channels option and encode but the encoded MXF files audio is then turned from dual stereo to four mono tracks.This is not compatible with UK DPP delivery as we are required to deliver stereo tracks.Any ideas here? Our files have been rejected by the BBC as non compliant on the audio front.Patricia

I am a 100% newbie, and I need to put music on a picture (any resolution, for example 1868 x 2802) -->to transform it into a video to be able to post it on instagram.I have no idea how to do it. After i make the project when i render i know only how ot make it standard resolution like 1920x1080, 1600x900 etc and most of the time i will have black background around the picture becouse ...it doesn't fit the rendering resolutin. Please help me.

HI Everyone....I am exporting a file at h.264 to mpeg, but need the screen size to still be 1920x1080. Does anyone know how to create a custom setting like that in Media Encoder?I chatted w/ Adobe and they said there was no way to customize the mpeg 4 settings, even though there is a "custom" option on that setting.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,I am trying to export comps from After Effects to Media Encoder and when I tell it to start I get this error:[/ame11.1.2/ame/releases/2017.03/shared/adobe/MediaCore/VideoFrame/Src/VideoFrameFactory.cpp-115]I have been using Media Encoder for months and it has been fine until yesterday afternoon. I render out some big odd sized files as I work with stadium LEDs and i get the error when trying to render an LED file (ex: 13500 x 64)but I don't get the error with 1920 x 1080 footage.Is there a solution for this?I am using Adobe CC 2018 for both on a Mac Pro(Late 2013) macOS Sierra 10.12.6Thank You,Jeff

I am exporting some finished files that are in ProRes format on a Windows 10 PC using the latest version of Media Encoder CC (12.0.1). I am NOT trying to export to ProRes, just H.264, WMV, and MPEG-2. And no software updates between yesterday and today. Tried restarting several times. Encoder recognized the files yesterday and exported them successfully. Today, it would not recognize the ProRes files. I even tried to drop the same source files in from yesterday - but it would not recognize them. I am able to play the files in Premiere and export using Encoder from there, but it will not let me Queue the file for batch processing. I am making 5 versions of each file. Has anyone else experienced this? I am asking around before I try to uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for reading, Craig Service

Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects and Premiere can't use all cores of processor (developers lives in 1990 may be..). I often have a lot of media files render. Can I start 10 copy of Media Encoder or After Effects? Did it somebody? Thank you

Hello, I work for a television station and I'm the only editor with a Mac. We all have the same preset installed to encode to an mxf format that we broadcast. When Master Control loads my mxf files into our transcoder they get an error message that reads "EVS MXF Source." We have checked, and double checked my encoding presets and they are exactly the same as every other editor using Premiere Pro and Media Encoder on their Windows machines.Can someone help me figure out why my files are the only ones reading as an EVS MXF?Here is what I'm working with:Equipment: 2013 Mac Pro, 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 with 35 GB of ram and a AMD FirePro D300 graphics card.Our Broadcast Format:Video: MXF OP1a, Video Codec XDCAMHD 35 NTSC, 1,440 x 1080, frame rate of 29.97 with Upper First, aspect: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)Audio: Uncompressed, 4 channel audio, 16 bit, sample rate of 48000.

I need to render a video for my YouTube channel but there is an error. This only started happening yesterday.

I have added my own images to this free Rocketstock by Shutterstock template:Fast Flip: Free After Effects Logo Reveal TemplateIt plays fine in After Effects. I can render it in the render queue inside AE. (It looks pixelated, though.) but when I try to export it with AME, it won't render. I have attached images of what I have tried to export according to the directions provided (also attached). 

Hey!I have music video(music + still image, no transition) for youtube.I made it in after effect. Send it to AME and render it with settings in image below.I set bitrate to 50 mbps in CBR or VBR(2-pass)  but exported video has only 10-15 mbps. I try different background images but i can't get over 10-15 mbps bitrate. Also i upload it to youtube(with 10-15 mbps bitrate) but it has poor quality even if it has still image with no transition.In video, any quality is poor/blocky except 1080p on youtube.My exported video is here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9giojaeFJocexample videos from another channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSooWgytpA0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMIggl34m78You see no blocky pixels in any quality (720p or 1080p)how do I solve this issue?pls help me 😕😕

Hello.I made a simple test. I took a footage 1280*720, placed it in Premiere project, changed scale to 300% and rendered it 3840*2160 through Media Encoder. My GTX 1060 was loaded 30%. Video engine load 0%. Then I did the same in After Effects. GPU load was 0%, Video engine load 0%, time of rendering 2 times higher. What is the problem? Adobe software 2018, windows 10 64, latest drivers, have no IQSV in my CPU. Cuda was enabled in AE, PP and ME.

When trying to import or even export something from AE or Premiere it does not appear to be rendered in the Media Encoder, I use the last update and I have this error! What to do?

In AME, I am trying to convert my MP4 animation into a quicktime MOV so that it is compatible with my Toon Boom software. However, whenever I try to do so, the rendered video is just black but with audio. The preview before and while rendering shows the video perfectly, but the final result is just black! PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Hi - AME (and AE actually) have been giving me problems since the latest updates. AME will not load past 'ImporterRED.prm' Any ideas or similar problems I would love to hear some solutions. No problems before. Nothing else has changed on my system.Windows 10 / 64 bit.CheersDave

Hello,ist really urgent. Need to be finish a project in a couple of hours , it will be shown live soon.I realize that the rendering takes to long, (+100 Clips) so I wonder if its possible to export my queue from the media encoder to another PC to render there as well, without open the project there and send everything again to the media encoder to the new PC.Would be great just to open that queue on the other PC. Sure I would copy all footage to that pc as well. I try to avoid to open that project there as well and send "all" comps again to the media encoder there.Thanks!EDIT: OK, looks that all files in the AME Folder (*aep) so I copy them all now inkl. all projects files to a new PC, hope that works! That will take some time, if Im wrong and you have a better solution please let me know.

Since upgrading to Media Encoder CC 2018 a few days ago I am having major problems rendering files I could render perfectly before the upgrade. These are simple compositions created in After Effects (also upgraded at the same time). They are only 10 to 15 seconds long, use no plugins or special effects. Before upgrading they would render from Media Encoder in a matter of seconds / minutes, and the rendering would start immediately. Since upgrading they frequently take 5 minutes to begin rendering, often complete but with errors, and more often than not I get a 'Cannot read from source' error, or Media Encoder just hangs and nothing happens. The files work fine and play perfectly in After Effects, and will render with no issues or errors from there. Prior to updating the software a few days ago I never had this issue.Changing the renderer - Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) / (Metal) / Software only - makes no difference.I'm using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014

Just since yesterday, sequences I'm exporting from Premiere Pro CC using the queue aren't appearing in Media Encoder. Both apps are updated to the most recent versions - 2017.1.2 - and I'm running OS 10.10.5 on my iMac.I've been able to successfully export a single sequence, but not able to export to the queue. !That's a problem, since I've got a dozen short videos to turn around quickly.Anything I might be missing?

In the past two weeks I've been getting warnings from my Mac Pro saying my SSD is nearly full. As I type, I have 1.24MB of a 250GB drive left.  That's not a typo.  I've tracked it down to the Adobe Media Encoder Log.txt file. It's twice grown to over 125GB. This time it's 146.62GB.The first 60 lines or so of the file look like this...The rest of the file is full of Ticks that look just like this over and over again.I would upload the file, so you could see but obviously it's too big.I've had to delete the file just to keep my system running but I'm sure, at this point, that it will be back within the week.How can I stop this from happening?

AME is crashing when I select the option of DnxHr in export settings. Help?

So, I'm trying to convert some .mpg files in an attempt to shrink them (they're uncompressed, and MASSIVE), and am using Media Encoder to do so. However, whenever I do so, it always, without fail, turns the video into a mess.It appears that every other frame has been taken from some other point in the video. I have no idea why this is happening, but whenever I play the original file normally, it plays as normal. Input file is 720x568, 1.0940 Pixel Ratio, Progressive, and the extension is .mpg. I have tried exporting as .mp4, .avi, .m2v, ​and .mpg, and even then it still gives me chaos. This is also a fresh install of CC 2018.

Hi,I really like media encoder for DVD encoding, but I haven't been able to use it on projects with closed captions yet.As when I import a media encoder encode into Sonic Scenarist authoring software the import .scc file option is dimmed out.It's like media encoder strip away or masks line21 in the video. I've tried setiing up in premiere and laying the .scc file on topof the video track but the best I have been able to do so far is get the captions to display, but the "turn captionsoff" option doesn't work.Anyone have any ideas on encoder setting and/or workflow?Thanks much!Dan

Hi there, I just installed Adobe Media Encoder 2017, but when I went to open it I got this message:C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCR110.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error/ Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f. I've already tried re-installing but it won't work. Can anyone help?
