Adobe Media Encoder

Hi, I really have little understanding of this process. But, i have video downloaded that is not recognised in premiere pro. it is vp09, or something. when i am trying to use encoder to give me a usable version with no loss of quality, it creates a black video with perfect audio. i have tried tweaking all sorts of settings to match, but, no cigar. what am i doing wrong? it is a 25fps, 1920x1080p video. not sure if you all need more information? but, i will be studying this whole area further to gain understanding, going forward. 

now what is this. IT IS A 58 SECOND VIDEO, it has been encoding for 17hrs and still isnt done. i have never had this before. the longest i had was 2 hours. i am using a dynabook portege, it has 16 rams and this is only taking up some of it.(around 5k mb memory) I let it go overnight and the estimated time just keeps increasing

Just updated to Premiere and Encoder 2025.  When rendering a video out using Media Encoder, the "2nd" pass never "seems" to complete.  In other words, as you observe the progress of the rendering in the small window (and rendering timeline), visual progression seems to freeze or stop half way through the process.HOWEVER.... in looking at the location where the video was rendering to, the finished video did complete, and looks fine.Is this a BUG?  the normal behavior previously allowed the 2nd rendering pass to be viewed, and the rendering amount of time would constantly update.  I've done several videos, and the issue was same for both.

Is it possible to tell Media Encoder to add a file at the end of the current file being rendered?Basically, I want to render a dozen files, and attach a generic message to the end of each one.I batch process many MANY files and being able to add a generic info message to the end of each Product video would be mighty helpful. BTW - I am also looking for a way to ADD an audio file to a video that has NO audio. Again, I have many MANY video files that have no audio, and I want to add the same audio file to all of them in a batch. Thanks! 

Hello, I am trying to render/export a 18288 x 57 animation for a stadium fascia board but I can not get the size to go past 16384.Is there a way to export this at the correct settings? Is it my computer that the problem?I was shown a file that was an H264/mp4 with the correct settings so it can be done. iMac Pro 2017Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB5120 x 2880 DisplayThanks for your help!

I am trying to set up a better workflow for importing my camera into Adobe Premiere. They are Sony cameras, and output .mxf files. I have found that importing these directly into Premiere causes a few issues, so thought it may be best to transcode in Media Encoder first to H.264. Source files are 35mbps, so is it safe to assume I could simply set up a custom preset 'Match Source' and settting Target Bitrate as 35mbps?? I also checked 'use Maximum Render Quality' Seems logical to me, but just want to check if there are any potential issues I may have overlooked. Thanks in advance.

I'm having issues in Media Encoder exporting an image sequence. I've seen other forum topics that are related to this but *are not the same*. I do not have a Premiere Pro sequence, this is for a sequence directly added to Encoder by going to "add source" and selecting the first image in the sequence. I've done the following to debug the issue:1) restarted computer2) tried images in a different folder3) cleared ME's cache4) turned off the setting for "import sequences manually". The files are all in the same folder on my C drive. There is nothing else accessing the files at the same time. The system is brand new and extremely powerful, 64gb ram, Intel Ultra9 processor, RTX4070 GPU.

Well, I updated to v25 and now none of our mogrts work when exporting.From Premiere or AME, it seems to hit the graphics file and stops and becomes non-responsive.  No preview displays.  Software only has same issue.  Delete the mogrt and export works fine.  This worked perfectly fine before the update.Absolutely no clue why this failing now.   cleared caches, reinstalled, etc.  Restored system and tried again, same issue.  As an added bonus, when I went to reopen a project after restoring the system, it failed because v25 saved it and all the autosaves under v25.  Now I have to rebuild the project with hours of work invested.  Joy.   W10x64, 14900k, 3080ti, 96gbRam, Gen4M.2 drives throughout.

1. Version of the app Tested in v24.6.1 and in the Beta2. Platform and OS versionTested on Windows 10, MacOS 14 and MacOS 15 (Intel and M1)3. Basic steps to reproduce the problemIn Premiere - import a multi-channel audio fileTested with Polywav 32bit-float 48000 Hz .WAV filesAdd a resource heavy vst/vst3 as a track effect to one channelex. Supertone Clear or Izotope RX Dialogue IsolateSend to Media Encoder and render4. Expected resultAll tracks in sync with the FX applied5. Actual resultThe FX is applied, but the track is delayed - usually by less than a frame's length Hi, I've been running into issues when trying to export sequences that use resource heavy audio plugins. Playback and file export via Premiere Pro are in sync, so this seems to be an isolated issue with AME.  Of course it's possible to solo/export the track as a workaround or to simply render via Premiere - but for batch renders this can become very tedious.  Thanks,Sean

Hello, I was working with Adobe Animate CC 2020 and tried to export an mp4 through media encoder (the only way I can export an mp4 from the app) and it opened AME, but the file never showed up in the queue window as if I'd normally opened AME without exporting anything. This had never happened before, and I didn't install any updates for my computer or the apps themselves since I had last successfully exported an mp4 through AME. I've spent the last couple hours doing everything from updating my computer (a Macbook Pro 2017, currently running on macOS Catalina but as I'm writing this I'm downloading macOS Big Sur to see if it fixes it somehow) to updating AME and Animate to their most recent 2021 versions, messing with and eventually resetting the settings in both (and testing it all throughout to reach the same result, a blank queue), uninstalling and reinstalling both apps, killing dynamiclinkmanager activity (recommended in a seperate article) and everything in between to try and fi

Hi, I have a problem when rendering to mp4. It looks like a bevel or shadow effect and it appears between two colors with high contrast. I've tried with multiple options changed, every time it appears. How can I avoid that effect?

Why? It is completely random and often slows my process down to a halt. MacMini M2 pro chip, 16 gigs of ram. Tons of drive space. 

I am having the worst experience with AME. Its a 16 second video, that I am already 11 minutes into encoding and I'm not even 20% finished with it... On a 16 second video!!! There is no way that AME should ever take this long for a 16 second video. I've also had my software crash twice on me, and Pr isn't doing any better. I'm using a MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro, 16GB Ram, and I'm using version 23.0.1 for AME and 23.0.0 for Pr. Any ideas on how to fix this? I will post a screen shot below... Thanks for the help!

I have completed a project in premiere pro 24.6.2. I have rendered out the project using 1920x1080 and 29.97fps. When I export to Media Encoder, I use the H264 format and check to ensure that the settings are still the same. The preview shows the entire video. However, when Media Encoder renders the clip, it looks more like 1920x540, clipping the lower half of the video. I've deleted media encoder, reinstalled, checked for updates in all the adobe programs,migrated the files onto the local computer, etc. I've spent a week on forums and rerendering a 5 minute video to no resolve. I'm not seeing any error logs. I've tried other formats and I still get the same result. I've verified that its importing in a 1920x1080 format, but everything is rendering in what appears about 1920x540, though encoder says otherwise. In all my years of using premiere pro and media encoder, I've never had this much problem out of the software. I'm using Windows 11. Any help would be much appreiciated.

If a file is put in Queue and INGEST is set to do MD5, will an error show up if something goes wrong or do you need to go to FILE>ERROR or use some 3rd party app to see if the comparison went well.? Thanks!

I was trying to export something through After effects and it was taking forever and usually, it was going faster. Then I switched to Adobe Media Encoder to work on it while it rendered. Now they are both slow and weirldy Media Encoder is slightly better because I could at least get some part of the export when it takes to long because in after effects if its partially exported and crashes you cant even use the small bit that is exported. I am very disappointed in this whole process. Its been rendering for 30 hours and now it says its gonna take another 30 hours to complete. Mind you this is for a 27 second clip with minor to effects. 

I am trying to render a one hour podcast.  had no issues rendering 10, 15, 20, 30 min videos.  Now all of a sudden, ME is dropping the ball.  Once I start to export in ME, it will do 50% and then stop.  And it will stop for HOURS.  Like 6-10+ hours.  Just sit there.  No real CPU activity, nothing.  Then it will randomly fire up and finish the project.  #3 camera edited sequence, color correction, Beauty Box filter, and that is about it.  A lower third logo, but nothing really graphics heavy at all throughout the whole project.  This machine should BLAZE through that export, but no.   Even without the pause, it is still taking TWICE as long as the length of playback.  1hr20m podcast, is taking 3 hours on remaining time.  Then add in a 6-10 hour break in there, you can imagine it is bery frustrating.  I mean, there is no CPU acitvity, but could something be processing in the backround on that i am not noticing? &n

Premiere PRO: 24.1.0 (Build 85)Media Encoder: 24.1 (Build 68)Windows 11 version 23H2 (KB5043076) After sending a file from a Premiere Pro project to Media Encoder for rendering and clicking on the start button to start the rendering, the Media Encoder does not proceed with the task. No rendering occurs. We uninstalled and reinstalled the PP and ME software and tried disabling ESET antivirus but still were not able to get this to work. This has functioned before but not for the last two weeks. The only change we can think of is the Windows OS update that might have caused this issue. If no fixes are available for this, where can I find an older version of PP and ME? We have a user running PP version 15.4.0. and we would like the installation file for that version. Thank you,    

I have an After Effects project outputting to DPX. When I render it out of Media Encoder it give me a 48 to 60 hour render time, whereas rendering directly in After Effects it is under 10 hours. The output sttings as far as I can tell are identical. Rendering directly in After Effects is showing 40% PCU usage, but Media Encoder is showing about 5%, so my best guess is that Multi-Frame rendering isn't working correctly in Media Encoder. Running AE 2024 (24.6.2) and ME 2024 (24.6.1) on Windows. Source files and render target are over the network, but the same config is used for AE and ME, so have mostly ruled that out. Anyone had a similar experience? Or have any tips for troubleshooting ME? I much prefer to render out of ME so that AE is tied up for the whole render.
