Adobe Media Encoder

Ultimately, I'm trying to create an ingest preset so that when I bring footage into Premiere, it will create proxies. I compared a handful of codecs (Prores Proxy, Dnx, Cineform) and none of them come anywhere close to h.264 when it comes to image quality and file size. They all create files that look worse while taking up ten times as much space as h.264.The problem is my footage (Alexa Mini) has five channels of audio, and apparently h.264 does not support five channels of audio. All of the channels are blank audio from the camera, so I don't care about them, but Premiere will not ingest the footage using an h.264 proxy codec because the audio channels do not match.Am I missing something here? 1. Why do video codecs even have varied audio options? 2. Why does h.264 not support five channels?From looking at older threads, it seems like this was totally doable two years ago before they changed the export settings around. You could choose to export a Quicktime, then just pick the H.264

Hi all, I apologize if this question has been answered already, but I couldn't seem to find it. I recorded alot of footage on my GoPro Hero 7 Black in 4k60fps while on vacation and I'm looking to edit it. However, since the GoPro Hero 7 Black shoots in H.265 HEVC it would be resource heavy to try to edit it directly in Premiere Pro. I've decided to convert the footage over to a editing friendly format such as ProRes 422. However, after a successful conversion playback is extremely choppy, image quality seemed to be retained, but the framerate is somewhere on the line of 15fps or less if i were to guess. I've read somewhere that the footage may be variable and confusing the encoder, however using a MediaInfo application my footage is indeed constant. Perhaps my PC specs could assist in finding a solution or determining a bottleneck:CPU: i7-9700k @4.7GHzGPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070RAM: 32gb @3000MhzThe footage is located on a Western Digital Black 2TB HDD 7200RPM. Perhaps the slow hard d

I can't get AE to export to AME. Nothing happens at all. AME doesn't open and when I open it manually the comp doesn't transfer to the program. Another problem I'm having is when I render inside AE the file is gigantic. I have exported files before that were in the MB's but this latest video I rendered inside AE was over 5gb. I'm very curious about what the problem is. There is no update waiting to be had either.EDIT: I'm trying to render to AVI if that matters.

Rendering out of After Effects... Every attempt stops working at the same frame about halfway through. The Fan on the Macbook Pro cranks up and the estimated time just keeps going up. Not sure how to even begin troubleshooting this one. Rendered same comp this morning without any problems...

I have a relatively high performance computer, but it only seems like AME is getting slower and slower at rendering my videos. I am wondering if Adobe will ever support Nvidia's NVENC or AMD's VCE? I'm getting tired of sitting here for 6+ Hours waiting for a simple 5 Minute h.265 Video to render, only to find out that it failed. The worst offender was on a video of mine that was about 2 Hours long in 1080p60 with a Bitrate of about 150Mbps using the h.265 HEVC encoder, it took literally 8 hours to render and made it all the way to the end only for it to fail at the last moment. I would love to use the HEVC hardware transcoding feature that is greyed out on my settings, but unfortunately me turning on the graphics functions on my CPU would defeat the purpose of having two RTX2080s in my system.Will there ever be any support for the GPGPU Hardware transcoding technology is my question? Or will I have to start searching elsewhere for my video editing needs that will satisfy my desire and

Hello,I am running CS6 on a Windows 7 PC. I just got my computer back from my computer guy, who tells me there are no viruses or memory/video card issues.I was rendering routinely with no problems. Then, just the other day, everything I render in Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere renders for a while before going to a red screen. I rendered out a .mov with no compression, and then I take that .mov and put it into Media Encoder to give me a compressed H264 or .wmv. I've done it hundreds of times. But this time I'm getting this problem.In Media Encoder it gets somewhere halfway through, then the screen turns red and the time remaining starts counting up. I've also gone back to the original After Effects file to render it out again, and although I rendered it out successfully several times before, this time it turns to a red screen halfway through the render.Also, I have my working files on an external hard drive and am rendering to my desktop on my C drive. I found these two thre

Hello!I have a situation where four workstations are loaded with Adobe After Effects and a dedicated render server is running Adobe Media Encoder.Traditionally, individuals saved copies of their project files into a special networked folder that was setup as an auto-encoding watch folder within AME.I am looking into switching to Team Projects but I'm stuck on this part of the workflow. How does this auto-encode or "cue" process work in Team Projects?I already found the part of AME where you can access Team Projects (in the Media Browser) but it is not realistic for people to be accessing the render server desktop all the time to be cuing their renders. I need something automated like before.Thoughts?

I've got a Retina iMac (iMac19,2) with a Radeon Pro 560X and 16GB of RAM. AME crashes continuously and generates crash reports which I have attached below. Can anybody please explain what's going on?! AME crashes for both H.264 and MP3 and all rendering engines... I have also uninstalled and reinstalled AME to no avail.

Hi!As you can see, my CC preferences are set to French:All my apps are in French, but not Media Encoder! I uninstalled it and reinstalled it 3 times, and it never works!Does anyone know what's going on?Thanks!

I'm exporting a 2 hr video on Encoder and once it was completed, I played the mp4- it played fine until the video froze on one frame for the rest of the video. I tried to export it through Premiere and the export froze at the same scene.I already looked at the scene to see if something was corrupted, but nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary or different from all the other files and scenes in the timeline. What's going on? What should I do?

Our team ran into a problem with Adobe Media Encoder 2019, videos exported to Apple ProRes 4444 (with Alpha channel) or WebM (using Fnord software plugin) comes out with jagged edges [Ref: Video 1A] and sometimes the entire background becomes white instead [Ref: Video 2A], however the same project when being rendered directly using Adobe After Effects, the edges do blend perfectly.Here's a comparison of videos exported from AME and AE.Adobe After Effects 16.1.2 (Build 55)Adobe Media Encoder 13.1 (Build 173)Windows 10 x64Nvidia Titan X32GB RAM

Hello all!I have a large external hard drive with past projects including a lot of 4k footage. I dont anticipate using the footage, and certainly dont need the 4k file size. Is there some way i can run AME to scan the drive, convert all 4k files to 1080p and simultaneously move the original file to another drive (id be happy for it to delete also) and not re-encode any files that are were shot in 1080p or touch any image files?It doesnt seem that watch folders would do the trick.Thanks so much for your input!

When I export a sequence directly from Premiere, the right and left of the video are not cropped, but if I use Media Encoder, the sequence gets the left and right slightly cropped. I use all the same presets in both and still get the same issue. I would prefer to use the Media Encoder, so I'd like to know if I am unaware of a setting or something

Hey there!I have AME 13.1 (Build 173) running on a Win Server 2019 DC 1809 VM w/ 8GB memory and having some issues with an additional second of audio glitch added to the end of some exported audio files (like a repeat).The source files are WAV and exporting to MP3 with loudness correction.Do you have any idea on how to fix this?ThanksAndyTitle was edited by: Mod

I've been trying to export a wedding project with extensive use of the neat video plug-in, more specifically the noise remover due to the gain I used at the wedding.The majority of the 1.5 hour video has this plug-in, and therefore rendering times are sitting at about 8 hours. But when I export to AME, it fails at different points.At first, it would force my PC to restart and give a "memory management error" despite me allocating 26GB of my 32GB RAM, and having almost 1TB of space on the SSD I was exporting to. I decided to go into my Adobe cache files in AppData and clear the cache out, giving me about 30GB of C drive space, then restarting the export.This seemed to solve the computer reset issue, but the encoding still fails. Last night it failed at about 80% of the way through, and tonight it failed again about half way through the ~8 hour estimate AME gives. I wasn't here to see the error, but when I came back to my PC the program had shut down and the video it produced just ends a

Hi!I'm trying to add an After Effects project to the AME queue via scripting, but keep getting import errors.The weirdest thing, is that I can add the same project manually without any problems!My project has only one Comp on the root, and everything else inside a folder.When I import it manually I get to choose the comp and it works great.When I try to import the same project using ExtendScript I get this:the code I'm testing:var fend = app.getFrontend();var ech = app.getEncoderHost();var exp = app.getExporter();//Input project filevar cmp = "/Users/valerialaura/Desktop/testingstuff.aep";//AME preset exported to the desktop for later bundlingvar pst = "/Users/valerialaura/Desktop/simple_preset.epr"; //Output files without extensionsvar out = "/Users/valerialaura/Desktop/AME_rendering";fend.addCompToBatch(cmp,pst,out);Any ideas as to what could be happening here?I also couldn't find documentation on AME scripting, so building over other forum answers and some poking around on ESTK.Than

Im attempting to export a 52 minute recording from Adobe Character Animator. I've tried sending it through Premiere and directly through character animator and everytime it says its going to take 4-5 hours. ive even tried clipping it down to 26 minutes in premiere and it still takes that long. normally i wouldn't complain but now, evertime it gets close to the end, it stops. no error message or anything, it just meerly stops encoding and my preview goes all black and the countdown freezes. when exporting the puppet from premiere, the puppet seems to crash because everything on the puppets screen turns into a negative color of  the video playing behind it. i viewed my task manager when the freeze was going on and my system memory from adobe character animator cc was also froze at 97% memory usage 10,707.3 mb of usage to be exactmy main questions are how do i fix it so i can export my puppet, and should it be running that slow from just a puppet, its just facial tracking im not doin

Hey everyone,Using CC17 at the moment. Making the jump when I finish up some projects. At the moment I'm dealing with a really annoying issue. Everytime my computer is started up, media cache location defaults to the LR video cache folder. I have no clue why. My scratch folder is located on an internal drive, so it's never removed. What's causing this? On top of that, every time I open a project there's a handful of clips that I have to wait to conform over and over again. It seems to happen specifically to proxy files. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hey,I have set some audio to -10db in AE which is pretty quiet, but it sounds far louder when rendered out with ME. I've left my volume the same, so it's something to do with AE or ME.Any ideas?Thanks,Dan

When I export the video the audio stops halfway through and then restarts again after 10 seconds. For the video I do not know if it stops since I have a still image. Can anyone help me with this?I am exporting via Adobe Media Encoder and it is set to H.264. It exports as MP4.When I try and publish it directly from Media Encoder it will not upload and publish to youtube even then.
