Adobe Media Encoder

I have a bunch of legacy XDCAM video files that I need to ingest for a client. It looks like with XDCAM, the camera records clip metadata to an XML file along with the original media. On ingest that metadata gets imbedded into the movie file. If the proprietary Sony software is used the metadata value from the field "Title" overwrites the original clip name preventing redundant names. (Apparently, the camera names clips in sequential order starting from 0001, but that sequence restarts every time the camera power is cycled.) AME is able to read those metadata values, so it stands to reason that I could have it use those values to overwrite the clip names, but I'm not sure how to do this. Does anyone have a thought on this?

I upgraded to AME 2017 and I could swear it said it would save my presets but my H264 encoding presets are gone....Upgrading always seems to be an exercise in frustration..... Still trying to get Premiere Pro to work but that is another matter.Are these presets saved somewhere so I can copy them into the appropriate folder for 2017? I am on Windows 10.If not, if I know exactly where they were in CC2015 before I ran the upgrade, I can restore from a backup.  Just the preset files, not the whole program of course.It seems like this would not have been difficult to do automatically.Further, I only was upgrading Premiere Pro 2017 and saw all the options...it said it would move all presets over and delete the old version. Ok, I chose that.However immediately after Premiere Pro updated it ran the AME update. Which I understand logically as they are related, but I was not given the option to choose any preferences for the upgrade for AME.Thanks,BJBBJB1

Hi. I have not seen any updates but has the following 2 options been added to Media Encoder 2015/2017 ?1. Watched folders to include Sub-directories .2. Output folders to use source folders.ThanksRiaan

I can successfully transcode to Quicktime H.264, Animation, GoPro Cineform, but NOT ProRes. All ProRes Codecs fail - Exporter returned bad result. Mac OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite. AME CC 2017Any suggestions to Export ProRes?Thanks,Mark

As Flash player will disappear I wonder how I will be able to show films/slideshows I've earlier made in Flash?Some of them I have only digitally stored, and some are published on my website.There must be a way of converting them so I can keep them for the future.HOW ????????????????

Whenever i try to open media encoder it shows up on my dock then quickly disappears, same thing happens when i try to queue it in After Effects. Please help!

Bit of a story...I am attempting to render a 17 second HD animation from AE.  I set it up in AME first as a DNX file.  AME said it was going to take 5 hours.  I stopped that.  I tried an H.264 at 300mbps, not a true "master" file, but would do for the end project. AME said it was going to take 3.5 hours.  Neither file was taking advantage of my 980ti graphics card, just slamming my 5820k CPU at 100%.  While AME was trying to chunk along on the h.264, I decided to try to render a targa sequence out of AE.  The targa sequence started cranking and really started using my graphics card.  The sequence was done in under 15 minutes.  As I am writing this, I decided to let AME try rendering the targa sequence.  It cranked through the first maybe 15%, and I thought is was going to be done in record speed, and then it stalled.  AME now says it will take well over an hour.  Oh, and it still not using any of the GPU!  And, YES, "Merc

Hey when I export my project the end result is my video looking as if it is being fast forwarded through. The sound is perfectly fine it's just the video. Also at random points in the video it will return to normal and then later return to the fast forwarded look. I've checked all my exporting settings and also watched a tutorial on youtube and it still doesn't work. My frame rate is at 29.97. Please help.

Hello,I captured screen audio and visual using QuickTime Player version 10.4. Needed to trim a few seconds from the beginning of the clip, and saved it as a .mov file. Plays back correctly in that format. When I import the file into Media Encoder CC version 2017.1.2 and try to encode it to an mp4 file using the H.264 format, the audio playback is correct, but the video playback is too slow (almost half speed, perhaps?). I don't have this issue when I try to encode a QuickTime .mov file that has not been trimmed from the beginning.Any thoughts?

I have been trying all morning why all my encoding tasks failed. But I found the source of the problem.In the effects tab of the preset settings, there is a Normalization option. I had it set on EBU R128. I left all settings as the were by default. For scanning it used stream 1 (stereo). When I disabled the normalizer, the encoding tasks worked like a charm. But why?I tried to play with the settings a bit. It made no difference. I even tried to scan for two mono streams. The task still failed.The source files is an MXF container: ( MXF OP1a, 8 mono channels )The destination is the same format, just a different bitrate, also with 8 discrete audio channels.Before I had to scan all the videos in Premiere, make adjustments to comply with the loudness norm for broadcasting in the Netherlands. Having it build in AME would save me so much time! But therefore it needs to work.Does anybody else use normalizing this feature? If so, does it actually work?

Hi, I have this problem when I encode a composition of an after effect project.The composition length about 1 hour.I'm using After Effect 2017 and Media Encoder 2017. The problem is that when I'm playing the video the sound is out of quality(but the original sound file is clear also in after effect do not have any problem too)I've tried all available file format in adobe media encoder but still have problem.Note:- The sound of the video is like have some cut

We have a project where we have certain audio on Channel 1 (Panned -1 to the Left) and Channel 2 (Panned -1 to the Right).  Our client says that they are hearing faint audio of Channel 1 on Channel 2 and audio of Channel 2 on Channel 1.  Any suggestions to correct this?

It's exactly what the title says.I have tried to export using different settings both in Premier Pro and Media Encoder, however unless the Program is running as administrator it freezes up and eventually crashes.Any ideas?

HII can't find detailed encoding settings. I need to encode a Main 4.0 Part 10 mp4 with NO CABACI'm using AME 2017 and I cannot find s definitive answer as to if the encoder uses cabac or not.DO I need to find another encoding software, or is there a way to turn it on and off in AMETris

We purchased a new mac pro a week ago and have had the same issue three times now. Rendering out h.264 mp4 files and the render will hang at the very end. The remaining time (00:00) and time elapsed both freeze. I generally have to restart the whole system (force quitting premiere and media encoder) and when I re-render it will render successfully without any end hang - making me think its not a muxing issue, which is what most of my research on the topic points to.

Hi, my PC has a i7 2600 quad core cpu, since I purchased it in April its been perfectly fine.In the last 2 days my Media Encoder renders have been really really slow, allowing the problem to run a 4 minute render took 6 hoursBefore the problem surfaced I would use the "details" option in task manger to set the after effects background process priority to real time, same for MEI now have to run it on normal because my CPU has decided to die on me somehow and slows my pc down by cycling between low usage and 100% !!!Other pc specs are GTX v and 16gb RAM

I have an mov file that after encoding from Tricaster is sitting at 40gb. My client wants the files that we are giving him to be at 5gb max. Is there any way to get this down to that size without loosing too much quality? Are main preset is h.264 and the videos settings are at 1920x1080.[Moved from the Lounge (which is where you can "connect with your peers" from across all of Adobe's products for conversations that don't directly relate to help and support) to a product-specific support forum by a moderator.]

Hi, a client wants me to deliver footage in Apple Intermediate Codec, in an AVI Container. I can't find the option in AME CC2017, nor in AME CS6...Is it possible to do this with any Version of AME? Thanks

Using ProsRes HQ and match source settings. I only intend on slowing this footage down on a 23.976 timeline . . . any issues that you can see with the render dropping .88?The math doesn't entirely add up to me, which makes me nervous about rendering all the footage. Any thoughts or experience with this? Is there a way to render at 119.88?Is it better, or any different, to interpolate to 23.976 while rendering?Thanks!

So I'm encoding GoPro footage, and the outcome of every take I encode has a slight green tint to it. I have fiddled with many settings and no luck. It would be great if someone knew how to fix the problem. Thanks.

Running 2017.0.2 and trying to sync my preset settings to my CC account before upgrading to the new versions. I've changed my sync preference to "Always Upload" so I pushes my User Presets to the server. I see that 2 recent presets have the cloud icon next to them, but all he rest do not appear to be synced. When I go to force a "Sync settings now", I keep getting prompted to log in, despite checking off "Stay logged in". It goes through that process, pinwheel comes up, and then nothing syncs. The last sync date is still showing last August. Repeating the process produces the same results.I'm going to submit as a bug, but given they've rolled out a new version of the software, I'm sure it won't get much attention. Does anyone have any immediate suggestions?ThanksStephen

As a Photoshop CC (2017) subscriber, I was able to install media encoder. I was able to use until today.The message states that I need an subscription. Does anyone know why this error occurred.

I am on premiere pro cc and AME cc.I have a video 90 minutes long I want to cut into 3 parts for uploading to youtube. I've read AME has a 'range' for doing this, however, i cannot find this anywhere. Is this possible to do this automatically or do i need to export 3 different sections from premiere?

Hallo Leute, habe mir eine Actioncam gekauft und möchte nun die Videos bearbeiten mit Adobe Premiere Elements 12 (Videoeditor).Leider kann ich die Videos nicht hochladen kommt immer eine allgemeine Fehlermeldung.
