Adobe Media Encoder

Hi,I just built a new workstation and I'm a little surprised to find my exports are seemingly a little slow when using AME.I'm exporting a 4 minute 1080p H.264 project using the 'Vimeo 1080p' preset.20 minutes have elapsed so far and it looks like theres still another 20 to go.I only have one 'effect' in my project and this is simply an adjustment layer with a levels adjustment.It appears only 1 of my 28 CPU threads is hitting 100% and my GPU (1080 Ti) isnt being used at all.Is this typical of AME performance or is something not quite right here?Please see attached screenshot for my info.Thanks for your time

Hi. Does AME support WebM VP8 with alpha? I found a free download, but it did not generate a transparent video. Is there any supported way to generate WebM, VP8, with transparency/alpha?I ask for this format in particular because I am using Character Animator to generate a flat 2D video which I was going to try importing into a 3D model in Unity 3D and try to generate a 360 view video with all the perspectives etc correct. But Unity 3D seems only to support WebM VP8 with alpha (and and apple format, but I am on Windows). So I can import the video, but its on a black background.I have seen suggestions of using online converters to generate another format and convert it later, but was hoping to avoid the extra step.Also comments on the GitHub free project helpfully saying "its open source - if you want alpha support, fix the code yourself". Umm, I am not at the skill level to rewrite the code of video codecs!!Just wondering if any plans from Adobe to get WebM VP8 added natively.

Whenever we batch audio files to MP3 about 25% of the files will be glitched and we cannot find a pattern. This happens in AME on any type of machine using the same MP3 Audio preset. The type of glitch Parallel Encoding settings is pretty consistent:scrambling the audio so the last half is spliced into the beginningadding a hiccup/pop at the very end of the filespeeding up the entire audio fileI've tried a number of fixes like turning off the “Enable Parallel Encoding”, trying different machines etc to no avail.Anybody else have this issue?

Hi there.I wanna set footage setting in ExtendScript.Concretely, I wanna change frame rate from 29.97 to 30.00 in source footage.In GUI, it will change the items as below.Now, I added line as below in my source code.const xxxx = enc.setFrameRate(30);But it didn't work.Does anyone know that could set footage setting in ExtendScript?

Dear forum,we are planning a small transcoding farm using several Adobe Media Encoders and a thiry-party tool called Helmut IO (Remote Node Renderer) from Moovit. The Helmut-tool is managing the jobs from watchfolders and Premiere client panels and assigns them to an idle encoding node.On the one hand I am very happy to find that AME runs fine on any machine I have tried so far, on the other hand I would like to know whether there's an optimal hardware choice for AME. So far the AME is running ok on HP Z800 (with Quadro4000) and HP DL360G7 (without GPU).I my mind I would go with some sort of server hardware and a GPU, but I have not figured out yet what codecs are significantly accelerated with a CUDA-compatible card. Since the CS6 times have passed and not only Quadro-cards are supported, a regular GTX-card should do well. In terms of CPU, Adobe recommends less cores and higher frequency.If anyone has some input on that issue I would greatly appreciate it.Best Regards,Silvan

Hi,Just update to CC 20 17. As expected getting a few bugs. One big one is I now can't export a render from After Effects to Media Encoder. No error messages. The file just won't open. I seem to remember this happening in another update but can't remember how to solve it..Anyone have any solutions? Thanks in advance.CheersDan

Hello, My media encoder keeps crashing mid render. I'm trying to render 360 video at 5k. The only plugin that I used was Mocha VR. It won't open when I select export media in adobe premiere. I have to manually open it in ME. Below is my crash report. Is there any other information I should provide when submitting a crash report like this? <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"><crashreport serviceVersion="1.6.4" clientVersion="1.6.4" applicationName="Adobe Media Encoder" applicationVersion="12.1.2" build="69"><time year="2018" month="9" day="2" hour="21" minute="23" second="58"/><user guid="efd73655-731e-42cd-8e0e-cffb0d36ce49"/><system platform="Windows 10 Pro" osversion="10.0" osbuild="17134" applicationlanguage="en-us" userlanguage="en-US" oslanguage="en-US" ram="48822" machine="Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7800X CPU @ 3.50GHz" model="Intel64 Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 4" cpuCount="12" cpuType="8664" cpuFreq="3504 MHz

Hi, i have trouble with AME. Because of audio repeating glitch i have to unistall my AME v2015. After doing it i have no other option than instal AME v2017 which is not cooperates with my Premiere v2015. I dont want to update to Premiere v2017, because then i have to upgrade my whole OSX and also - in v2017 there is another MTS audio glitch, which i can not affort for my work.After 3 hours trying to solve this problem on adobe technical support i receive only one answer - that i have to export my videos in Premiere. But.. when you input adjustment layers to your sequence, there is another glitch - stroboscoping black frames in exported video.Im trying to find any way out of this but get into dead end. It seems that Adobe just dont give a damn about users problems. They smack you with Guptas (the guy on the "support") answer and thats all.Can anybody somehow help me with this by sending me dmg file of AME v2015 or do you have any other solution?Thank youJ.T.

I have done two batches of encodes of the same files with Media Encoder.In both instances, Media Encoder's new files were Filename_1.ext.That is, unless the original files were from an iPhone.One encode was h.264 and the other was DNxHD.Is there any reason for this?JJ

HiI am creating an animation in after effects for a sports game LED system that has the dimensions 5280x96px. Is there anyway of exporting this in Mp4 format with H.264? I know H.265 allows for this to be exported at this size but H.264 doesn't and reduces the width to 4096px. However I know not all systems support H.265. I would appreciate any expertise in this. Thanks.

Hi All,Strange problem never come across before.I have a premiere sequence I send to AME to encode H264 1920x1080 - high bitrateThere are 2 issues:1. At the start of the sequence I have audio that plays perfectly on the premiere output window but when rendered via AME cuts of the first second or so. I have checked everything in premiere and I export entire sequence not in/out etc.2. I have some video/audio that is synced and sounds perfect in premiere but when rendered (same settings as above) causes it to be out of sync by a second or 2.Any ideas please?ThanksChris

I have a different audio issue in AME:I'm getting audio from a completely different project in short :20-:30 spots throughout the AME encoded file.  This only happens with mpeg2DVD files.

After upgrading AME from 2014 to 2017 dragging image sequence in to AME leads to different behavior.Now it asks me if i want to import each image separately or "stitch" them . Upon choosing latter AME creates one rendering node with all images however resulting output would make each image not equal one frame (which is only logical interpretation of image sequence) but instead each image in the sequence would last for something like a second - making it some kind of slideshow.How can i  achieve a result (which was previously a default) where each image in a sequence i import would be interpreted as ONLY ONE frame of resulting render?In case it's not clear -- image sequences (JPG, TGA , PNG DXF) is most common way to output animated materials in all VFX and animation related industries.I really not sure who would benefit from transforming frame by frame sequence in some kind of slideshows - but i'm certain it wouldn't be one of the many video VFX and animation professionals using a

I'm animating a large selection of png files in multiple projects..  In the past, I've imported them into Premiere and changed the Clip Speed / Duration, and rendered.  I need each png file to be displayed a certain about of time kinda like a slide show.  Since I'm dealing with 10s of thousands of frames to animate in multiple projects, this has been a slow process.I discovered only recently that Media Encoder can animate frames from a directory without using Premiere -- awesome!!   But I can't seem to change the Clip Speed / Duration What if I want each png file to be displayed for 1 second each? Where can I change this in ME?  I've spent hours researching and I'm coming up blank.  Is there a way to generate an animation from png frames where I can specify how long to show each png?Thanks!!!!

Sending render job out of AE to AME.  Comp is 1080x1080 square for Insta.  Have selected DNxHR MXF-Op1a format option, and using the resolution independent flavor of DNxHR-HQx.Inspecting the file in MediaInfo.app I can see the metadata says the display aspect ratio of the .mxf is 16:9 (wrong!).  Ingesting the file into various apps for QC yields different, and inconsistent results.  Sometimes it looks correct with 1:1 square aspect ratio, other times it adheres to the 16:9 flag and stretches.  The .xmp file produced by AME at the same time as the .mxf must be in the same folder to have the media interpreted correctly 100% of the time. Presumably the line {xmpDM:videoPixelAspectRatio="1/1"} is what alerts the video players (and/or AME on re-ingest) that the video is to be interpreted as square.  If I export the same comp to Quicktime .mov as DNxHR-HQx I do not encounter the aspect ratio issue.  Its just the .mxf file, which we obviously prefer.Anything

Hello, community I am new to the forums this is my first post. Adobe Media Encoder fails to encode a project imported from After Effects CC. I did search the forums and tried possible solution posted which was to disable "import sequences natively" and changing video renderer to "Mercury Playback Software Engine Only" in preferferences > General in Adobe Media Encoder Settings.Unfortunately trying the suggestions has not helped, I hope someone can help me resolve this issue please see the error below;------------------------------------------------------------ - Encoding Time: 00:10:1808/24/2018 07:58:28 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\C:\Users\James\Downloads\Compressed\high-tech-logo\high-tech_logo\high-tech_logo (converted)_AME\High-Tech Logo.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00:00:01:17 - 00:00:02:01Renderin

I have a sequence in Adobe Premiere that I need to export as a Motion JPEG in order for it to play from a thumb drive directly connected to a TV. This is the only sort of motion format the tv accepts....Thanks for nothing Sanyo .PLEASE ADVISE.

Hi,I noticed, that the effect "loudness normalization" does not work properly when rendering one source to multiple outputs at the same time. I have 2 outputs (both h.264 and aac audio) and added the "loudness normalization" to both outputs, but with different settings. The results are completely different from the renderings with only one output at a time, but with identical settings. It would be nice to render to more than one output with stable results! Or did I totally miss something?Best,Normann

Hej,I've been trying to render out a project and after different render settings, lengths, and options, my Media Encoder keeps failing at one specific time stamp. I've come to the conclusion that my source After Effects file may be corrupted in some way, since the render completely gives out no matter if I render half, 1/4, or just the end of the composition, and no matter what adjustments are made to my render settings,I'm unsure what I can do to rectify this issue, since in my source media at that specific time stamp, no new media is introduced (no new comps, frames, etc....seems to happen mid comp for one specific comp).Any idea what I can do to rectify the issue? The report that's generated says the following:Additional Info:Media Encoder CC (12.1.2 Build 69) [and updated and tried again before posting this...no change]After Effects CC (15.1.2 Build 69) [also updated]Mac OSHigh Sierra 10.13.5Not too sure about the codec, but I'm rendering out at H264, and in a .mp4 container... whe

Let's say I import a video (and let the Media Encoder make a proxy to be able to work with the video) and cut out a small part of the video in the middle. I then paste it in the timeline in Premiere Pro. I then want to export this cutout, but when I go to the export window the part that I cut out (which is in my timeline) is not there, instead of a clip from the beginning of the source video is shown (also the duration of the clip is the exact same as my cutout). Why does this happen?? Is it something common that can be easily fixed?Thanks!

Hi! I've been using prores LT for my editing and recently, I've tried DNXHD (LB only, don't need the higher ones) and found out that the file size is way lower than prores LT.My only problem is I can't find the option to match frame rate and resolution when batch transcoding mp4s to DNXHD. Doing it manually will take a long time when dealing with multiple frame rates and resolutions.Any suggestions?

When I render out of After effects through Media Encoder sometimes the audio warps and the timing is off. The audio is fin in AE just not after being rendered through AME. Is there a fix for this?

Hey There. I am having a major problem here trying to export alpha transparency in Media Encoder from After Effects. I've been pulling my hair for a week trying different settings/etc and when I finally seemed to get things down, then something else would pop up. So, now when I used all my fancy customized presets, I now get a stupid 'ring/border-like' artifact thing wrapped around my object (with transparency behind that!!!!!!!!!). I spent all night again Googling and trying different settings but the results are all the same.  http://slhgraphics.com/MediaEncoderAlphaAE/Media Encoder? NOT very intuitive and confusing process between the two, in my opinion. Shouldn't be this hard. I was getting 3gb files when I only needed 35mb and had to spend hours trying to figure out how to knock that size down in qt!!!!!!!! Not happy.
