Adobe Media Encoder

I finished up a project in after effects and sent it to media encoder to save as h.264. After it was done i clicked the file to watch it and it’s a 3:00 long black video and no audio. I’ve tried different setrings (QuickTime etc) I’ve tried creating new projects, deleting cache, resetting preferences, uninstall and reinstalling, adding a solid layer under everything and nothing works. If I save the project as QuickTime directly from AE it works though. Also while rendering in AME I can see the video and effects in the preview box. The only other trick I’ve come across is to dl a older version but I can’t find an option to do so!

It's listing a bunch, but I need to crop a video for some stupid web div that's 21:9. There's no editing other than this. I don't really want to create a project in Premiere Just to crop. So I'm doing it in AME. No problem. Wait, I have to bust out Math? No problem, but since it's an odd ratio, and I'm compressing the Hell out of it to get it down to about 1-2MB, It's ok that I'm doing something like 1620x694, or even smaller, rather than keeping it full 1920 width. I'd love to just put in a ratio, grab one corner, put it where I think I might want to crop to, then just drag the other one. But right now, I have to get it kind of close, do a little cross multiply and divide to get my size, but...rather than showing you the Size of your rectangle, haha, AME shows you how much you're cropping. You can see the size if you hover your mouse, but you can only adjust how much it's cropped from the top and bottom and sides. Sooo useful. So if you're the type that, rather than answering my first

Hi all !Below are two lists of codecs in 2019 (1)  and 2017 (2) Media Encoder versions. Same Mac (Mojave), same user. Why such a dramatic difference?How to import  all codecs from ME 2017 into ME 2019?1.2.

I'm using Media Encoder to decrease file sizes. I feel like my software is up to date but many codecs that are listed on Adobe's support page are giving me "the source compression type is not supported" errors. Where do I go to add more codecs?EDIT: I should add a couple things:1) When I go to Media Encoder/ Help/ Updates, Creative Cloud tells me Media Encoder and Premiere Pro are up to date2) I've tried adding codecs from Adobe's download page (Adobe - Adobe Media Encoder : For Windows ) but was told the download failed because all the content is already present.

After months of successful use of Premiere and Media Encoder, Media Encoder stopped launching for me, and instead reported "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)..."  I realize Adobe doesn't want to support Windows 7 starting with its 2019 version, but I'm still running the 2018 versions; surely someone has found a fix for this.I tried moving forward & back revisions and found I could re-install Media Encoder 2017 successfully, but it can't be launched automatically from the Premiere 2018 version that I'm now stuck with for my current projects.  In an attempt to really kill the problem dead and get both on 2018, I reset my Windows machine to factory defaults and re-installed just the basic programs today, including a web browser, Adobe Creative Cloud, Premiere, and Media Encoder.  ME 2018 still fails to launch with the same error message, both with ME 12.1.1 and 12.1.2.Premiere has complained in the past about the nVidia card and drivers, but I h

I use Production Premium cs6. I can export from Premire Pro, but now, if I choose to queue my exports and then attempt to encode the batch in Media Encoder, all the exports fail. When I check the AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt file, it states 'Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted' which is nonsense since I can export the same sequence by using 'Export' in PPro rather than 'Queue'.Can anyone help?Thanks in advance!

What does the error code actually mean.Yeah, I could go and alter something in my timeline at that point, even though the same scene rendered 3 times without the error.I more want to know what this code is. Like if you get an error code from Microsoft, you can look it up and see what it is. So what does this one mean? I search for it and all I see is people doing random changes to get a "fix" vs. knowing what the issue really is and fixing that.

Hey!I have a quite big problem with using AME to create proxies in my project. Since the last version update, AME is slow on making proxies and almost every time stops working in like 20-30 minutes of renderding. I have projects that has like 500+ files (4K, 1080, some even bigger) and playing it back via online files in Premiere is pain. proxy is the solution but AME is slow and crashes, only solution atm is to literally keep an eye on proxy making process, what is wasting my precious time as an editor.In previous version I could queue all jobs and come back morning to see that everything is done. Now i am not able to do this anymore, since usuallly i see that around 10% is done and everything has stopped working. I've even had some projects to corrupt thanks to this.So my question is. Is it possbile to get this problem fixed? Is there a workaround with making proxies? I tried to use ffmpeg program on CLI to make proxies but i was not able to get those files to link with original file

I receive this error when attempting to queue a composition form AE 15.1.2 to AME 12.1.2 What can i do? There is no dynamic link app or folder. Should i try signing out of creative cloud?

Hi all, seemingly easy question here but I've been unable to come up with a solution.Simply, I want to use AME to transcode batches of high-res videos to lower-res files ***while retaining all of the EXIF data - including original creation date***.Tests show that most EXIF data comes across after transcoding with the exception of time/date stamps - which are all set to the AME encoding time/date.I can't be the only one who has wanted to do this but several hours of tests and searching through forums has revealed nothing.Thanks in advance!

Quicktime Reference is of course not a codec unto itself. It references other media in whatever codec it was created. If Media Encoder can import Avid DNxHD and ProRes, why was is deemed a good idea to kill support for Quicktime Reference to media in those formats? "Please encode using a professional codec" doesn't apply, the media is already using a professional codec. The reason to avoid encoding a new file is obvious. It takes time, processor cycles and storage space that shouldn't be required. "Use Media Encoder 2017"? Doesn't that negate the supposed purpose of killing support for legacy codecs? Ya know staying current and taking advantage of new features? Adobe please explain. Better yet, just restore QT Reference  support.

Two issues:1.) The Adaptive Low Bitrate preset has a higher target bitrate than the Adaptive Medium Bitrate preset. Are they just reversed, or are the bitrate settings wrong?2.) When I attempt to create a new preset based on one of the Adaptive Bitrate presets, the newly created preset seems to have lost its "adaptive" status. For example, I prefer to use VBR 2-pass in some circumstances instead of the default 1-pass. When I create such a preset, AME no longer indicates that the target bitrate is based on the source material. Am I missing something?Thank you.

I don't seem to have a drop down option for "Create Ingest Preset" in Media Encoder. When I click the plus symbol in the preset browser there is no drop down and it automatically opens up the window for creating the Encoding Preset only and I can't find another way to create an ingest preset without the use of this button nor anyone else who has had this problem. I even downloaded a proxy preset pack and neither the encoding or ingest preset would show up after importing as a possible work around. Is there a way to fix this button to show the drop down menu or maybe another way to access the "Create Ingest Preset" window?

Hello, every time when i import my footage 176 clips the encoder imports like 167 clips and than stops. But doesnt freeze. Then when i push the start encoding clips button green button encoder frezzes.All greetings Hugo S.

So once again an AME update takes one step forward and two back...Im on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016)2,9 GHz Intel Core i716 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3Radeon Pro 460 4096 MBAnd basically none of my Adobe apps have been working correctly for months now. Ive had to resort to roundabout methods for rendering (like having to stitch together pre-rendered sequences, not using my GPU, swapping between versions). All of these methods i've had to come up with on my own as well, since all the advice i can get from your live support is to reset my settings, and if that does not work they tell me its a bug that "they will report". Sorry for the rant but its so frustrating how you can take something that has worked so well for so long and make it unusable.Well i was happy to start using your latest version of AME (13.0.2) hoping it would relieve some of the problems i have been facing (Constant crashing, Dynamic Link not working between apps) but lo and behold MORE problems arose!Using Dynamic link no

Since upgrading back in Oct. to 122.0.2 my Media Encoder preset for an mpeg 2 output no longer works.  I get the following..."error compiling movie...Error Code 2."  My work around has been to take the project home where I didn't do the CC updates.  Using version 12.1.2 and I can output the file using the mpeg 2 preset.  Anyone else having this problem?

I'd like to be able to publish directly to Google Drive, is it possible to create custom publish settings through an SDK?

THis is an observation after many hours of paintstaking work late at night to try to produce a H264 Based Blu Ray disc through Encore 6.There is a thread on Encore 6 related to this Encore error code 3 vas file . Note it should say _ves fileIt is now clear Media Encoder 2018 version is broken. Encore 6 crashes every time reporting error message oin Author Script sessions _ves files on build.several people report the same problem.Today there is no way to produce a Blu Ray H264 based disc exported from Media Encoder 2018.Whilst Adobe may feel Blu Ray discs are dead (and are now legacy products)  this problem with Premiere Pro /Media Encoder  2018 needs fixing as not all of us want to give Clients / Friends a media streaming version of our work.Adobe Engineering Team : PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT IN NEXT RELEASE OF PREMIERE PRO CC 2018 PACKAGED WITH MEDIA ENCODERMedia Encoder 2017 worked but it is not possible to import PP CC 2018 files into a Media Encoder 2017 ver

installed new 2019 CC versions yesterday and today have tried several times to render a h.264 out of AME from an AFX 1920x1080 comp. only effects are lumetri color adjustments. the AFX comp will render a Pro-res movie successfully from the AFX render cue but when i send the same comp to media encoder to do an h264 version it hangs within seconds. no apparent error messages, AME just stops. i'm on a I-mac with OS sierra 10.12.6, drivers for Nvidia are up to date.very frustrating because the h264 codecs no longer are available in the AFX render cue format options so i can't just render the h264 directly from AFX.

I use the "Publish" function a lot to Youtube.AME 2017 worked fine (and still does), however the new AME 2018 won't stay logged in to Youtube.I log the app into Youtube successfully and it says "Logged in". When I export a video, the upload instantly fails and the reason is "Not logged in".I can literally click on a preset (see all the tags and description info etc intact), click "Log In", it reports that it is indeed "logged in". I hit "Okay". If I then re-open the preset settings it says "not logged in"!I've tried re-syncing to CC and that had no affect either.I've tried different Youtube accounts, trashing the AME prefs etc. I logged out of Youtube on my still installed AME 2017 version just to be sure, AME 2018 still doesn't work.However, if I re-log the 2017 version back in to Youtube it still works just fine. It occurred to me their may be a conflict with two versions of AME being installed (even though the older version is "logged out"), but I don't want to uninstall the 2017 ve

Hi all, i have been using adobe after effects for a couple of months now to make 3 minute long videos for youtube channel. My first compositions (That i made on my Macbook Pro Retina 8RAM) took about 45 minutes to an hour to render in media encoder. But when i installed the last system update (mojave), a 3 minute composition took about 5 HOURS to render!!!!! So i  had contact with apple care, and found out that suddenly my mac whas using a lot of cpu for other programs, when we fixed this, it decreesed the render time to 2 hours, wich is still way too much! soo, because i need these videos for my company, i desided to spend a lot of money to buy an iMAC PRO (32RAM) so i wouldnt have any trouble with rendering anymore. Than when i starded to render the same 3 minute composition that took 2 hours on my mac, IT TOOK 4 HOURS ON MY NEW IMAC PRO TO RENDER!!! this makes me very frustrated, because i specially spend 3000 euros more on a computer to improve the rendertime of adobe media en

I'm having the same issue since upgrading to Media Encoder CC 2018 a few days ago. Previously my 10 to 20 second videos were rendering in no time. Now the exact same videos are taking ages to render or not rendering at all.For me the main issue is that they take 5 minutes to begin rendering, and I frequently get 'Cannot read from source' errors, or Media Encoder just hangs.
