Adobe Media Encoder

Hello everyone,I have an export issue with Media Encoder (and Premiere has the same problem). When I select the "Match Source - Adaptive Low Bitrate" export preset, artifacts appear in the movements of the subject being filmed. The problem does not occur if I set VBR 2-pass or CBR. I have also tried disabling the Mercury GPU Acceleration, but the only result was a longer export time. I have a Mac Studio M2 with 64 GB of RAM. I tried the "Match Source - Adaptive Low Bitrate" preset on a Mac Mini M1 and a 2018 MacBook Pro i5, and this problem did not occur. How can I fix it? All Adobe apps are updated to the latest version. Using VBR 2-pass or CBR is not an option as it doubles the export times, and since I have many videos, I cannot afford this in terms of machine usage.

Hi community, I have bunch of mp3 podcast that I need to convert to mp4. Every podcas needs to show the same image.Because of the ease I was trying to use a watched folder for this. Problem is I can't find a way to use stitched clips in a watch folder. The image I got fixed setup in a preset and this works like expected.    Anybody has an idea please? Or should this be handled like a feature request? Thanks, Geert

Missing a font...that's not actually missing. Incredibly annoying. I can't keep spending time trying to track down why it thinks a font is missing..that isn't missing. Premiere Pro can use it with no problem.

Hello,Probably a returning topic but I need some help here.Basically what my Media encoder sees as "source" has different colors than what i see in after effects, even with "Use display color management" unchecked. This results in faulty colors in my rendered result.When I render with the Render Queue I do get the right colors. However, I would like to use the Media Encoder because it has a lot more presets.I use Apple RGB in as color space in AE on advise of a friend, but not sure if that's the right thing to do here? I also tried Rec9 but that didn't change anything in the end. Does anyone have a solution for this?PS: I tried copy pasting the LUT files from AE to Media Encoder but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

When I Open Media EncodderThis Text Below it's popup Sorry, Media Encoder has encountered an error and needs to close.You will not be able to use Media Encoder at this time. Please contact Customer Support and use the reference code 205 for more information on how to resolve this issue. How Can I fix Thank you. 

A common problem it seems -  I have been through all the previous posts about this issue and tried absolutely everything but nothing works. This happened to me a while back, I left it, waited for a new update and it worked. I work with .MXFs everyday with no problem, and then somehow these specific ones are a problem. 1. Using Media Encoder 24.5 (problem present on previous version)2. Windows 10 22H23. I download .mxf file, put it in AME, set to conver to h.264 and I get this failed result error:4. Should get an .Mp4 file but get this in the error log:- Source File: C:\Users\Louie Laptop\Content (Temp)\Misc Temp\madame1_1.mxf- Output File: C:\Users\Louie Laptop\Content (Temp)\Misc Temp\madame1_1_1.mp4- Preset Used: MXF Downsize- Video: 1920x1080 (1.0), 25 fps, Progressive, 203 (75% HLG, 58% PQ), Hardware Encoding, Nvidia Codec, 01:16:34:21- Audio: AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo- Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass, Target 4.00 Mbps- Encoding Time: 00:01:5407/23/2024 10:08:23 AM : Encoding Fa

Hi, I'm on a loaner work computer (2018 Macbook Pro, Venture 13.6.7) as my last one has to be rebuilt.  I set up my normal custom preset which includes VBR 2 pass but just realized that even with those settings Media Encoder (v 24.5) is only doing 1 pass.  I can't figure out why.  It's set to software encoding (won't work with hardware).  It doesn't matter if it comes from Premiere or After Effects it just ignores the 2pass and only does one with no errors or flags.  Does anyone have any idea why it's doing this?  I've used this preset for years (ss below) and never had an issue till this loaner laptop.  Of course, I just caught this when I have a rush project where minimal file size / maximum quality is a huge deal so I need to fix this asap.  Thanks! 

Hi all! I'm setting up some Adobe apps including Media Encoder, Dreamweaver and Animate for devices running Windows 10 and 11. On these devices, there are a configuration to hide the C drive for the standard users by using local policies:reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoDrives /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /freg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoViewOnDrive /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f Dreamweaver and Animate comply with the configuration and prevent standard user to access/open file from hidden C drive. However, in Media Encoder, the Media Browser displays to whole C drive and allow standard users to open/import file from hidden C drive. Is there anyway we can hide the C drive in Media Browser? Thank you,Thong

I recently updated Media Encoder to to version 24.4.1 and it will no longer import AVI files I've rendered with After Effects.  The import progress bar is full, but frozen.  I reverted back version by version and had the same problem until I got to ME version 23.5I've tried several different files and the only difference to my workflow is the ME update. Is there a different codec for AVI files in the newer versions that I need to download or has anyone else had a similar issue?  I'm fine using the old version for now but I would prefer having updated version functioning.Thanks

Hello,I'm also copying my post here from the Premiere Pro forum here -> https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/media-encoder-takes-much-longer-to-open-if-project-is-sent-from-premiere/idi-p/14620007 I remember posting this a couple of versions back but I can't remember the post's name 🙂 and I cannot remember If I posted it here or in the Encoder forums since I'm not sure this is a Media Encoder problem or a Premiere one.So, Media Encoder takes about 5 seconds to load all its plug ins when opened standalone. I have some Red Giant and Boris FX plugins installed, the number shown in the startup screen is about 400. BUT if I send the project for export from Premiere, either by pressing the keyboard shortcut or from the "send to media encoder" button in the Export panel AND if Encoder is not started it takes ages. It loads the default plug-ins first, this is also slow and then if goes to the 3rd party ones. I know this because it is so slow

Hi Everyone,I have been a PP editior for a long time and have seen a lot of crazy bugs etc. this one has me STUMPED. So I Have a project, 2 camera interviews of 5 or 6 people cut together on 1 timeline, straight forward. When I go to export the sequence out in AME It exports out the red "media missing"  frame for the entire video every clip. All the media is showing on the Timeline and I checked that every piece of media in the project is linked to the correct location. I do not get the warnig that media is missing and there is no yellow triangle in AME suggesting anything is wrong until it starts to export and I see its the red card. If I export directly from PP all works as it should. to troubleshoot I have:1. cleared cache both through PP & AME and by hand in the assigned media cache folder and the default location PP & AME would put the media cache.2. I have un-linked and re-linked all the media for the project.3. Manually deleted all Temp files4. Moved

I have problem with newest version of Adobe Media Encoder. When i want to open AME, the start creen appears, but after a while, it disappears and nothing happens. In a nuttshell, it crash. Media Encoder just doesn't launch. Everything worked fine with the 2023 version, but after updating to the latest version, this problem appeared. I have Premiere Pro on the latest version and it works perfectly. The issue only occurs with Media Encoder. I have tried literally everything, running it as an administrator, using the "create proxy" option in Premiere Pro. Nothing works. I hope this problem can be resolved because without proxies, I am stuck.

I'm trying to render proxies again for the same video files from the same computer in the same project file but it keep failing. The render had no issues with the first video but the others all falied. What am I doing wrong? I've even shortened the file name to "122624 - HERO - 04".

¿Porque todo los videos que exporto desde Adobe Media Encoder se pixelean? Ya desinstale e instale el programa pero sigue presentando el mismo problema.

I can't seem to connect After Effects to Media Encoder.Running:MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021 M1 Max 32GB, MacOS Sonoma 14.5.AE Version 24.5.0 (Build 52)ME Version 24.5 (Build 50) - When I click "Add to Media Encoder Queue..." it opens up Media Encoder but nothing happens.- When I drag a Comp from AE to ME, ME directly goes "Not Responding" and has to Force Quit it.- Tried uninstalling and installing both AE and ME.- Worked when queueing Sequence from Premiere

I've looked through the forums and couldn't find anything covering this, so I figured asking here was worth a shot- sorry if this has been asked before.I can't get Adobe Media Encoder 2024 open on my mac; it's been giving me the "cannot create folder: presets" error. I've tried a few solutions, but nothing's worked. There isn't an "Adobe Media Encoder" file in the "/documents/adobe" folder, and I don't know how to make one- manually creating one doesn't work.Do I need to make that folder again to fix the situation, and how can I get Media Encoder to open? Thanks! 

Hello all, has anyone else encounted a recent 'go slow' on media encoder?This has only happened in the last couple of weeks - I use it all the time and suddenly it is taking hours to encode 6 min clips.  Where as, exporting directly is taking 12 minutes.  very frustrating. Any advice would be amazing. Richard
