Adobe Media Encoder

Hello Forum,Can anyone recommend decent quality 720p MP4 settings with an MPEG4 container?  I can only do 720p versions in a quicktime or h264 container which will not play in windows.  Source is ProRes 422 1080p.  Client requests MP4.  However, the settings for MP4 under the MPEG4 container does not allow for a high enough data rate for 720p.Thanks!- Ryan

I have a ton of custom presets that I've developed over several years. I tried importing them into CS6 by copying the custom presets from here:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME\5.0to here:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME\6.0I can see the custom presets in AME but only SOME of the presets in the export settings format/preset boxes from Premiere Pro CS6. e.g. AVI show up but not the presets for H264 or Windows Media formats etc (they don't appear). Are the presets incompatible between CS5.5 and CS6 for some formats (maybe there are new settings that weren't in the old version)?Thanks,Paul.

The Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.1) update is available.It has bug fixes and some new features. You'll see from the post above that one of the features is left somewhat unexplained for the moment. That's because we wanted to get the bug fixes for Adobe Media Encoder out as soon as possible, rather than hold this update and wait for it to coincide with certain other events. Stay tuned. We'll have more information about that new feature quite soon.

Hi,Curious...just came over recently from FCP and I don't remember Compressor giving me an option to adjust the MINIMUM bit rate when exporting HD projects for DVD. I figured I'd just leave it where the preset has it (at 2.8mbps minimum)...BUT...then I hovered over it and saw an interesting popup/explanation of what it does which kind of confuses me. It says:Higher values set a higher minimum quality, but reduce quality of more difficult scenes.The first part makes sense so I figured I'd raise it...but then the second part makes me think I should keep it low. Sort of confuses me. Any thoughts??? FYI: My projects are Weddings with a fair amount of action, etc.....Normally, these are my settings depending unless I can't fit the project onto the disc in which case I adjust:DVDCBR at 7.5mbps...or...VBR 2passTarget Bit Rate: About 6.8 or 7mbpsMax Bit Rate: Usually 8mbpsBLURAYVBR 2passTarget Bit Rate: 25mbpsMax Bit Rate: 30mbpsUnless someone tells me that I should raise these settings higher

I just upgraded to Creative Cloud and enjoyed until it came time to render my first video.The Media Encoder crashes no matter what I do!!!!!I am rendering timelines with Canon MXF files and I need to transcode them to AVI so my friend can use them in his older version of Vegas.I even tried encoding just a simple 15sec timeline with a few 5 second clips and that crashed too.I NEVER had an issue with the previous version when i was using CS5.5.What has changed???? I am very disaapointed whats the point of my editing a project if i can't ever output it????I have several client project due and now I can't finish any of them. And your India based tech support doesn't even know what Adobe Media Encoder is!!!!!

Some people who have downloaded Adobe Media Encoder with Premiere Pro CS6 as part of a Creative Cloud Membership subscription have a problem in which the MPEG2, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-Blu-ray, Dolby Digital, & MXF OP1a codecs are missing. To fix this issue, install the Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.1) update.

When asking a question on the Adobe Media Encoder user-to-user forum, you can make it easier for folks to help you by proactively providing the answers to the following questions:What version of Adobe Media Encoder? Include the minor version number (e.g., Adobe Media Encoder CS6 with the 6.0.1 update).What other Adobe applications do you have installed, and what application are you using Adobe Media Encoder with?Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".Are you using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?Is the problem only occu

Summary: Export from within Premiere Pro CS5 ver 5.0.2 produces the dialog "Media Encoder update is available", even though the updater has already been run without error and reports "no updates available". Media Encoder version is 5.0.1. The export itself runs OK after dismissing the dialog.Details: I updated Premiere Pro CS5 Production Premium from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2, using Adobe Updater. Running updater again (from either Premiere Pro or Media Encoder) produces a dialog:Adobe Applications Manager: "Your applications are all up-to-date."However each time I try to export a video (AVCHD 1080i/30 from Canon HF100), Premiere Pro gives this dialog: Dialog: Adobe Premiere Pro"An Adobe Media Encoder update is available for this version of Pemiere Pro.
