Adobe Media Encoder

I have been using After Effects CS5.5 for personal projects for a few years and just started a trial of After Effects CC to evaluate it for professional use. I have imported a project I created in CS5.5 to compare to CC. My preview rendering performance seems a bit better, but final rendering performance with Media Encoder is abysmal and unacceptable for professional use.The main project I'm using to benchmark is a 4 minute video with many layers, including plenty of nested compositions and PSDs. After Effects CS5.5 can render and encode the timeline as an h.264 MP4 in 15 minutes. Doing the same from CC using Media Encoder CC with the same settings takes 55 minutes.In case the performance was related to the h.264 codec, I tried importing the previously rendered MP4 file by itself and rendering it back out as a WMV. This took 6 minutes in  CS5.5, and 65 minutes with CC / AME (65 minutes to re-encode a single layer video with no effects?!)Finally, I tried rendering the most complex

I have a peculiar problem using Adobe Media Encoder 2015.4 to render out Premiere Pro 2015.4 projects on a network machine. I can render out the projects properly on the machine that the files are local to, but on the network machine, the audio either is static or it is missing tracks altogether. I tried multiple audio and video codecs to make sure it wasn't one in particular that got corrupted, but no change. I am using the h.264 codec with AAC stereo audio with my current export settings. Both machines are Windows 10, and are signed in with the same Microsoft account. Prior to the 2015.4 update, the issue did no exist with the current setup as I described.

I am trying to convert an AVCHD video for viewing on my iPad 3. I use Adobe Media Encoder and select the iPad 2 settings (1920x1080) and it exports the video perfect, but no audio. I have "Export Audio" checked off. I tried it with 5 other settings and it just wont include the audio. Any ideas?

I am working on a video that is encoded as ProRes 4444 in Premiere Pro and AE, when I finish I need to export the timeline in ProRes4444, but this seems to be missing from the list of codecs.I do have Uncompressed 10bit 4 2 2. Searched google and found a few sites that claim to sell this codec, but I don't want to part with money if it's not something I need.Just to be clear, this is a Windows machine (win7)

Encoding is very slow with AME CC 2014. Resource monitor shows only one of the eight CPUs working while the rest are parked. This was not happening in CC version. Is there anything I can do to control this? I happen to be exporting to h264 Bluray. Says it has 2 1/2 hours remaining, which is way tool long for this project.

I am trying to use Media Encoder CS5.5 downconvert a HD clip (1920 x 1080) to DV PAL anamorphic (720 x 576) . However there only seem to be 2 choice for me in the export menu in terms of pixel aspect ratio.By selecting D1/DV PAL, the exported clip is a 4:3 letterboxed video - which is not what I want.By selecting D1/DV PAL widescreen, the exported clip is an almost-correct anamorphic video.I say 'almost-correct' because there are narrow black bars on the left and right side of the exported clip. The image below shows the preview of the exported clip (with black bars at the side)Does anyone know the reason for the black bars at the sides? And how can I get rid of them.Thanks.

I have downloaded the free versions of both of these codecs in the hopes of being able to transcode to each as an intermediate codec for my AVCHD files. The problem is that neither shows up in either my Premiere Pro CS6 or Adobe Media Encoder Import/Export options? What gives? Did I miss something here? How do I get the option to transcode or encode to DnxHD or Cineform on a PC version of CS6?

Recently i installed Adobe Media Encoder CS6 , on start it showing application unable to start due this error 0xc000007b, please resolve ASAP, if anybody knows.

I AM NEW TO ADOBE PREMIERE. AFTER SOME HOURS OF LEARNING FINALLY I FINISHED EDITING 30 MIN OF VIDEO. NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO OUTPUT TO DVD ( VIDEO DVD ) TO PLAY IN DVD PLAYERS. PLS HELP.

When I queue exports from Premiere CS6,  Media Encoder totally ignores any custom export settings, and chooses some completely different system defined default settings, which I did not choose in Premiere. In previous versions Premiere would always pass the encoding settings to the Media Encoder.Update: When I tried to import the custom settings into Adobe Media Encoder, I got an error message: "Preset could not be imported. No exporter found for this preset." Then I've realized, that AEM doesn't even have a QuickTime export format!!! Actually it offers only 4 export formats: H.264 (MP4), FLV, F4V, and MP3. Then, when I queue an export with Premiere with one of those 4 formats, then AEM would accept it. Anything else - it just wouldn't work!!! So wait - am I missing something, or I literally cannot queue any other common format exports with AEM??? I need to work with MOV, AVI, AIFF, WAV etc. files, which all aren't accepted by the Media Encoder... Or am I missing something???This

how do i purchase adobe media encoder?I want to buy it and use it to make mxf files for television material, my 30day trial period has expired.Please help urgently.Thanks

I just upgraded to CS5.5 a yesterday and having some issues encoding an 1 1/2 program for a DVD. The program doesn't seem to crash per se, just stops encoding. The task manager says it's running. I tried to encode the same sequence, but shorter and have the in and out points go through the part where it always stops and it worked fine. It's just when I try the entire sequence it stops. Anyone have any experience like this with CS5.5 just coming out?Thank you,Doug

I am running media encoder on a mac. I have an .mp4 file which is also available as a .mov file but I need it to be an .avi file with linear PCM codec so that I can play it from a thumb drive on my projector. I used a converter to convert the file to .avi but it still doesn't play on the epson projector.Can you help me achieve this?There is no .avi option in my premier pro or the media encoder.ThanksSue

I'm currently exporting a 90 second video (using the Vimeo HD 1080p preset), and it is taking about 30 minutes. This is extremely strange as I have an i7-990x OC'ed @4.5, 12GB RAM, SSD, etc.I looked at Performance tab in Windows Task Manager, and saw 4 threads were not being used at all, only 20-25% of the CPU was in use, and only 6GB out of the 9GB I specified was being used.Why isn't Media Encoder making full use of my CPU and RAM?

I posted this is the Premiere forum two months ago, but no response.I’m trying to understand where Key Frames are positioned, but the info I have found on the web is unclear. Here is Adobe’s explanation from the Adobe Media Encoder PDF:Explanation 1Key Frames are complete video frames (or images) that are inserted at consistent intervals in a video clip. The frames between the Key Frames contain information on changes that occurs between Key Krames.By default, AME automatically determines the key frame interval (Key Frame Distance) to use based on the frame rate of the video clip.If your footage has a lot of scene changes or rapidly moving motion or animation, then the overall image quality may benefit from a lower Key Frame Distance. A smaller key frame distance corresponds to a larger output file.In another Adobe document it states that a Key Frame Distance is the:Explanation 2Number of frames after which the codec will create a key frame when exporting video.Somewhere else it states

I have an 10 seconds video done in After Effects CC 2015 with 300 x 600px and need to work as a Web Banner.We need to supply it as HTML5 and the Media Guide needs it with maximum 40Kb.I have read many tutorials but since FLV and SWF are not in After Effects or Adobe Media Encoder, I don't know how the process would be.Please help us.Thank you,

Not sure what I need to be concerned with.The Media Encoder CC is taking about 10 times longer than when I rendered this AE cs6 project in the past.The AE cc project is 34 seconds and the media encoder is saying it will take 10 hours to render.It's a H.264 going to YT HD.Any tweaks for improvement? it's the only thing running using 6 gig memory.

I am using Adobe Media Encoder cs5 version 5.0.1.0 on a Windows XP Service Pack 3 32-bit machine.  None of the wmv or avi files I try to encode have the audio track encoded.  I have tried encoding with both the "F4V - Match Source Attributes" and "FLV - Web 640 x 480" presets.  Neither of these encode the audio output at all.  The audio track plays correctly in Windows Media Player.  Has anyone else had this problem?

Does Adobe Media Encoder save/export in swf format?If yes how?Thanks

Is there a way to select multiple files in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 and change or add the output folder for all? It would be great if the output folder could be set in the Preset rather than in the AME Preference.

Hello,I am exporting a mpeg HDV file that has a constant frame rate to a H264 video (.mp4) video to upload to a web-base video player. I'm actually using the preset in Media Encoder "YouTube HD 720p 29.97".The online video web interface I use requires a constant frame rate. But when looking at the video in MediaInfo it shows the video file as a variable frame rate. After looking through the settings in Media Encoder I cannot find any option to correct that.  I see where you can change the frame rate and it is at 29.97. So you would think it would be constant but it is not. And it does not have any settings, that I can see, to change from variable to constant. I do see the bitrate settings, but that is not the issue.I also have Apple Compressor and that successfuly does a constant frame rate, but if possible I'd rather use Adobe Media Encoder. So does anybody know how to change this setting? Thank you

Hi,To my dismay, I discovered that Media Encoder no longer exports mp4 files. Each time I try it now, it exports a file with the extension m4v instead of mp4, and it will not play. This is CS6 on a MacBook Pro running mountain lion. It was working previously before the latest update from Adobe. Anyone else experiencing this?When I try and play back the m4v file, I am seeing this error.thx

I'm currently starting work on a project where we are capturing footage from several different places around the country. All the footage gets sent to me. What I'm looking to do is set up a fairly automated workflow using watch folders and Adobe Media Encoder to export small file size outputs of the footage that we can make available for the rest of the team to preview. So those exported clips get saved to another folder that gets posted.The goal is to take what we shoot (very large in file size and lengthy clips and therefore takes a lot of time to post back up) and be able to give a small reference view to others on our connected team. I know this can be done and I've seen the steps to take to set this up with watch folders - BUT - I need assistance in choosing the right output settings that will give me a small file size video clip that is of a decent image quality and audio quality, something that is widely viewable format wise. Looking for ideas on export settings to choose for th

I'm trying to encode an x264 codec Quicktime using AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2. I also tried it with two versions of the x264 encoder which I downloaded from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24173/x264encoderThis encoder works 100% fine and better than the h264 encoder when using Apple Compressor and Apple QT Pro V7. I've been however trying to transition all of my video encodes to AME due to a number of reasons: dynamic link to AE, Premiere and the interface to name a few.Everytime I start an encode it gives me an error and I hear that blasted sheep. lol. This is what the log displays, which is frankly probably no help to anyone.------------------------------------------------------- - Encoding Time: 00:00:0001/13/2013 04:48:10 PM : Encoding Failed-------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.

I'd like to render a 1080i comp at half resolution or third resolution in AME to speed up render times for low-res previews. I just had a low-res H264 preview take 5 minutes to encode in AE, and 28 minutes in AME.This is easily accomplished in the After Effects render settings. However, the "video" option in AME seems to imply the project is encoded at that resolution, not rendered at it.I went into AE and changed the setting in the composition viewport to "half", but when I queue it up in AME, the "Match Source" button still indicates 1080.What is the correct method to get the results I want?I'm currently using AE CC and AME CC on Windows.
