Adobe Media Encoder

Hi Guys- maybe a stupid question but can i download and use 'media encoder' stand alone? I just need Media Encoder nothing else. And if not, so if it needs to come as an add-on to other adobe software what is the cheapest to buy since i won't need it :).... Thanks for your time to help me out. Rgs, Ilko

I upgraded to PP and AME 2020. Now I can't run anything through a queue.  AME just crashes as soon as I hit the start button.  It still works fine to create a batch of proxies out of Premiere with "Creat Proxies." I have reinstalled and deleted various files inDocuments > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder I can't work without the ability to run a queue. 

after update to 2020, drag and drop(After effect to media incoder ) dose not working anymore. what the bug! 

Hello,I've been converting MTS to H.264 files for a job recently for archiving and storage space.Creating an H.264 and cropping the footage greatly reduces the space taken up by all the MTS footage.However, I've noticed that after export, the H.264 files are a few frames off in terms of sync. I crop from the beginning and end, where there is "garbage". I have the settings to Match Source with Adaptive Low Bitrate. Where am I erring and how (if any way possible) can I transcode these MTS files without the audio/video going out of sync? Windows 10Adobe Media Encoder 2019Below is the MediaInfo on the clip I am trying to transcode

I made a 4k 60fps video around 14 minutes, but it took entire 2 hours for an RTX 2080 to render, to my knowledge, this is not correct, I checked task manager and both 2080s are at around 30%, but CPU is to 100%, is there a way to make media encoder to fully utilize my RTX 2080s?

When I updated to CC 2020 Media Encoder started to shut down with it reached loading Video Co-pilot plug ins.  I reinstalled it and it continued to crash at the same boot time with no error message.  I decided to download the earlier version to see if it was a 2020 bug and it continued to happen.The only way I can get any version of Media Encoder to work is by deleting the video co-pilot plug in folder from the 7.0 Media Core folder before launching.  Is there a fix for this?

Hope someone can help, I am trying to create watch folders for Media Encoder. I follow the steps, but when I add a file absolutely nothing happens. The same file will manually process, but the watch folder ignore it. It will encode an MP4 file automatically but no After Effects or Premier Pro files. Is there something super obvious I am missing?

Hi all,Would be grateful for some help. I've shot some footage on a Sony FS7, edited and graded in Avid Media Composer and run it through Adobe Media Encoder to get it on vimeo. As you can see from the attached screengrab, the vibrant colours and contrast disappears on output. The first is the exported MXF file and the second the resulting mp4 file from AME. I'm doing a VBR 2-pass at 35Mbps. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The footage looks so nice but I can't get it to look like that on the web 😞 Thanks in advance. 

Few days ago, My media encoder autonatically updated to 2019 (Which is wierd cause I close the check box to avoid automatically update.), though this cause the error since I am still using old version of AE and primere and seems the Dynamic link won't work between them(I don't wanna update them cause some of my projects are still working)And I couldn't find the old versions on Creative Cloud to re-install the 2018 Media Encoder CC.I really need some suggestions to help me through this situations....

I've tried all types of solutions found online listed below and still nothing. I cannot get it to open either from After Effects -> Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue or launched from the desktop.  Here are the things i've tried with no luck: - Shift + click to refresh preferences- Added a script .bat file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC 2019 following this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THClahPRvWA&feature=emb_title- Deleted all text and made read-only X19zbGNfZmVhdHVyZXNfXw==.slc in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache. Then tried deleting it altogether.- Deleted everything in: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache  And  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files- I don't have these folders : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\7.0   or   C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME\7

Over the last few months I've had to export multiple short DCPs through AME with increasingly diminished returns, weirdly enough. All files have been ProRes 422 or 422 HQ 1920x1080, 24fps and all DCPs have been 2k flat, 24fps, JPEG2000, Progressive w square pixels.Originally it seemed like every export over around 15 minutes would stall out and crash, but in the last month it's worsened to the point of no DCPs finishing encoding. Both Premiere and AME are up to date and I'm on OS X 10.11.6.Seems like its probably the same issue as this thread from Feb: Wraptor 2K DCP crashes which was marked answered with Adobe promising a fix in the next update. I haven't heard anything since and strangely don't see too many people having this problem across the internet.Thanks for any ideas/fixes.

Hi,Everytime I try to lunch Media encoder either from inside an adobe product or by itself i get an error message that reads "Adobe Media encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue." What do I do to fix this situation I use this product quite often to render my projects and would really like to keep using it rather than render in after effects or premiere.Mod: updated title of post for search purposes

i had to re render a video to fit twitter for a quick post and the result is a post with what looked like a 720p video with 0.3 Mbps Biterate where infact it should have 2.1Mbps (( to be clear the video DID come out with 2.1Mbps but looked like it has 0.3 and the video was rendered from a 1080p file ))    

The title pretty much says it all. I've finished a comp from After Effects that's ready to be rendered and I add it to the Media Encoder queue. It's a short comp that's going to be uploaded to twitter, so the preset that I use is Twitter 720p. But every time I start rendering, 10 seconds later, a crash report shows up and closes the program. I don't know what's going on. Is it a bug?Hardware:Windows 1016 GB of RAMNvidia GeForce GTX 1050 TiIntel Core i7-6700 CPU 3.40 GHz

I have some .MXF files that I want to upload and publish tonight after I've left work early. They are already in the queue and I've edited their descriptions and titlesI know that I can delay AME to process the queue after 3 minutes of inactivity. But, can I schedule it to process the queue at a specific time and/or date.I want it to process a video and then upload that video to youtube, Twitter, and Facebook at 5:30 pm tonight. Or possibly have it do the same thing for another video but on Wednesday Night at 7:00 pm.

Hi,From one day to the next I suddenly get Error Code: -1609629695 on every export.I have checked every thread on here and tried googling for more answers. I tried all the suggested actions like:-Restarting the computer/Reinstalling the programs-Switching to CPU-rendering-Copy/Paste the content into a new comp-Switching to 8/16bit color instead of 32bit-I tried different formats since some people experienced issues with H.264-Tried renaming the project without special characters-Turn off Lumetri was suggested. I don't have it in my project at all.-I tried turning off all third-party plugins without resultNone of the above work. I also tried exporting directly from AE but that render failed as well.What is error code -1609629695? I find it strange that so many people have had this error but for very different reasons.Can Adobe adress this? I see posts from as far back as 2017.I really need a fix so I can continue my work. I'm really at a loss here.Please helpSincerely,Joakim Tennfors

Hey everybody,Yesterday I installed a couple Adobe CC softwares on my MBP mid 2012 running MacOS Sierra, and by installing the different apps Adobe created a folder called "Adobe" in the documents folder on my Mac. This is my question: How do I put that folder somewhere else and how do I get the Adobe apps to know the new location of that folder?I set my desktop and documents folder as file uploaders to iCloud so that means that I have the "Adobe" folder on my ICloud while I don't need it to be there.Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, I work for a company that had old projects that we still edited / exported using ME 2018 and after the release of 2020, ME 2018 is no longer an option to download as an older version - nor can it be found as a legacy download? How can I re-install ME 2018? Thank you!

Now that Media Encoder 2020 is out a 15 minute video is talking 9+ hours to export. PC Specs:Intel i7 7700KNvidia GTX 107016GB 2400MHz ram

Media Encoder now has support for a good deal of new formats and some legacy formats too. Canon users will definitely be psyched about the support for Canon XF-HEVC cameras.   What's your opinion on the new formats?

Hi Guys, I'm trying to import a .m2ts file but i keep getting the error "The source compression type is not supported".Is there anything i can do to fix this?

Forgive a very basic question from a very new user...When I drag a camera card over to the Queue, the panel populates with two identical copies of every file - the duplicates having the same preset and output destination, but with '_1' added to the file name.Is there a way to stop it doing this?Thanks, Tim

Why was this app expired? I go to use it on my iMac running 10.10.5 and the app was expired. I uninstall it, only to find that it's gone from the Cloud. WTF is going on with Adobe!? My[profanity removed by moderator]works fine. Stop breaking it!

Hello,I have an issue. Exporting J2K with AME for archiving I am getting different results. When we inspect the files one states: Format Settings : Closed / Completeand the other states:Format Settings ; Open / Imcomplete The Open / Imcomplete has been refused. We are confused as both were exported with the same settings.Although one is 50i and the other 59i, both were from an mxf file Op1a.Any thoughts
