Adobe Media Encoder

So my media encoder randomly stopped rendering my videos, except for when it is open in AE and PR. I have to get through a ton of these product review videos and i need to able to work on the next batch of videos while the ones i have done render out in Media Encoder. I have been able to work like this for quite sometime and now randomly my videos (the premiere video part of it, all the stuff i set up in AE still shows fine) are rendered out with the red "Media offline" screen. I'm using dynamic to link my premier>aftereffects>media encoder.

I have exported several sets of media as a Wraptor DCP. We have three projectors. Two are a Christie Solaria One and the third is a Christie CP2220. When we tried to use the content management system to load the .dcp file, we were able to ingest it in - however, upon ingestion it is read as a feature and we are not able to schedule in the same manner as other advertisements and trailers. So, we loaded them directly onto the projectors themselves. This worked great for the Solaria One machines. It is a little bit more time consuming, but it works for now. When we attempted to load it onto the Christie CP2220, upon playback we would only hear audio and then it would cut the feed off. From talking with our cinema director, I'm back to trying to figure out how to get the files to ingest as an advertisement or trailer into the content management system. I've seen a few other forums, however, none have had an answer so far. Help? I've sent off a message to QuVIS based upon a couple of answer

Hi guys,Got a question about the After Effects - Media Encoder workflow. Whenever I send a comp from After Effects to Media Encoder I always have to double check the downsample setting. Is there a way to get Media Encoder to render comps on full resolution by default? Thanks for any help.Cheers,Marten

Hi,I started to use Cineform codec on my windows machine when I need to send clips with alpha channel to an editor that is on Osx.Before we had a fully ProRes workflow.I am pretty happy with the results and files works smoothly on both workstations, windows and osx.Only today I noticed something weird in the file sizes:5 Second clip from after effects to AME (using the new "queue in AME" from render panel) in Cineform 12bit - no alpha:quality 4 > resulting file is ~700MBquality 3 > resulting file is ~620MBquality 2 > resulting file is ~330MBTried on my osx workstation to export same file (same workflow) in prores422 and it was 73mb, same quality side to side compared with the Cineform export.Is normal that Cineform results in 10x bigger files?Can something be wrong in my workflow?Thanks.

Hola.En Adobe Encoder, al pasar una película de DVD con varios idiomas a mp4, uniendo los vob de la carpeta video_ts, no sé cómo elegir el idioma español, y acaba saliendo una mezcla de idiomas o solo en inglés.Por ejemplo, una primera parte en inglés y el resto en español.El mp4 en sí está bien formado y de una calidad aceptable, pero no resulta útil por lo dicho.He probado todo lo que se me ha ocurrido, pero en las opciones de audio solo es posible elegir entre: mono, estéreo y 5.1.En fin, si alguien conoce alguna solución y la comparte le estaré agradecido.

I need to encode content for DRM testing on a variety of servers, however I need to take my content and drop it into multi bitrate containers such as MPEG DASH or Apple HLS.Is this possible in the current set of CC tools or do I have to look elsewhere?Many thanks.

I design power rings for stadiums (the video boards that go around the inside of rinks). I've done several of these before with no issues. Today, however, I'm encountering a huge problem. The screen size is 19648pxx 40px. I was able to export out the .MOV file from AE with no problems - but I need to convert it to H.264 as the specs require. The problem is Media Encoder crashes when I try to import the file. I've done power rings much bigger than this with no problems. The AE file is just a modified version of the ones I've done previously, so that isn't an issue. I've even tried to split the ring in half, but the encoder doesn't want to Match Source (please see screenshot). Does anyone have any advice to offer on why suddenly this is happening. I've done well over 20 of these for various locations and not once have I encountered this problem. Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just exporting from Premiere works fine, but the encoder, which is supposed to be a time saver, fails on every video. It has worked great in the past on this machine. They videos are :15 and :30 TV commercials. It doesn't matter what format I'm outputting in (MPEG2, H.264, .MOV), they all fail. I really need to get this working as I have about 40 spots I need to output in the next couple days.

Hello,I need to export a .MXF file with MPEG-2 codec at 80Mbps stream, 10 audio channels.I can export the file with most correct specs with MXF OP1a @XDCAMHD PAL 50, but can't achieve 80Mbps (only 50Mbps)Is this something I can do with AME/Premiere? Can you please advise another way to achieve this?Thanks!These specs are an example for what I'm looking for:Format: MXFFormat version: 1.2Format profile: OP-1aFormat settings: Open / IncompleteDuration: 1h 53mn 13s 760msOverall bit rate: 89.3 MbpsEncoded date: 2016-06-16 15:48:45.996Writing application: Omneon Inc.

I have a GoPro time lapse I want to encode into a single video file. After importing the image sequence into AME, giving it the YouTube 4k preset, setting the FPS to 10 and encode, the resulting video file shows about the first 2.5 seconds of images and then the media offline card for the remainder. All of the 5923 images are in one folder on a local HDD. What is going wrong?

I'm hoping someone can help me with this as I seem to have hit a wall. I need to export a Quicktime video from After Effects (with alpha channel). It is basic text animation with alpha that is then sent to another editor to be overlaid on to other footage. I previously worked on this job in 2015 and the file size of the clip that was rendered and delivered then was around the 80mb mark, which was fine quality-wise.I revisited this job today to make a change and although I'm sure I've used the same export settings as before, the same file seems to have blown up to 500+mb. I compared the two in Mediainfo and this difference seems to be coming from the much higher variable bit rate in the newer file. However, I seem to be struggling to find anywhere to actually set this bit rate in AE or AME, all options seem to be greyed out. Aside from that, all the other details seem to be the same so I'm wondering what I've missed. Is it possible to even set this bitrate anywhere while keeping a Quick

Hi,just installed AME but I cannot launch it.With previous version, I deleted the file into SLCaches and it worked. But not now.Some suggestions?MacBook Pro Retina, Sierrathank you

Is there any codec I can use to encode a 4min simple animation with audio being the audio export not AAC but uncompressed? H.264 doesn't give me this format since the audio has to be AAC/MPEG/Dolby. I wanted the final output to be like below 700mb or anything. I know it's weird but I am hearing slight difference from my source audio and then encoding to H.264 AAC audio.

I export edited footage of sports games that are separated into multiple rounds. I save them as GAME 1, GAME 2, etc. and name each Premiere file accordingly. But in AME, I have to manually add and name each file from _DSC1234 to the corresponding GAME # one at a time so as to prevent duplication or incorrect naming, and it is a giant pain. Is there a way to tell AME to simply use the source file name for each file I import?

Hi,I've got an mp4 file with 3 different audio tracks (each audio track is a language. So in VLC, I can make a right click and choose which audio track I want to play).I need to convert this file into a MXF OP1a. I've tried via Adobe Media Encoder but the MXF file doesn't have the 3 audio tracks when published.Is there a way to convert it and keep the different audio track in the file ? (I'm willing to use Adobe Premiere if necessary).Thx

Hello everyone. I recently had to be issued a new machine at work, and the fresh install of Media Encoder 2015.2 (newest version IT will let me use) seems to have lost the Effects tab in the encoder tab. I can't find anyway to get it back. Has anyone else ever run into this? It's pretty important that I get it back.Thanks!

Problem: Media encoder is pegging my 8 core CPU at 100% while generating proxies.  What can I do to smooth out this workflow?I thought the whole point of creating proxies is to ease the burden while editing.  My understanding is that it is supposed to allow low utilization proxy creation in the back ground while letting me edit clips in premiere.There doesn't seem to be a way to tell Media Encoder that it can't have all 100% of my 8 cpu's. I'd like to keep editing during proxy creation without a severe slowdown.I'm using the very latest version of 2017 Media encoder (all updates applied)Appreciate any advice.(Win 10 64bit; 32GB memory; 8 core cpu.  2 high end graphics cards)

I am trying to render a 20 second sample video using the Adobe Media Encoder 2015 CC Youtube 4k preset. The target and maximum bitrate displayed is both 40 but the output file ( if I right click and then properties ) only showed 16,000 kbps? Why isn't 40,000 kbps? I also tried using other presets and custom ones, whenever I put 16 bitrate the output file will only have 7,000kbps. Am I missing something? I wanted the bitrate of the video to be high like 45,000, I am using the same 20 second video in all my tests.

Hi, I made a documentary 30 min lenght. This doc has just 2 photo animated (simulating a pan) moving right to left pretty slow.When I did the Master in ProRes HQ, It looks perfect, but when I compressed this Master to make a SD DVD using Media Encoder, all video looked great, excepted these two photo animations, than looks awful. I have tried for a week all the posible options to fix it: pixels aspect ratio, compression max quality, fields, photoshop setting for animation, resize, add a bit of blur, and so on,...but I couldn't fix it. I spoke with some people and some of then told me this is a problem about  down scale from HD to SD,  DVDs reduce the resolution to almost a quarter of the original size 1920 to 720, so some artifacting is going to occur.I wonder if somebody here kenos something about it or found a solution about this problem ?I'll appreciate any comment about it.Thanks !!

For an unknown reason suddenly Media Encoder doesn't seem to reach the Dynamic Link Server (whiceh I don't really know what it is) when trying to crop a wide file to a perimeterboard (20928x64px). It gets stuck in "Reading XMP...". No problem to crop normal files. What's happened?

Hello all, I have been searching this forum for years now and its helped me out alot by you guys answering other peoples questions. But I am stuck right now. I used after effects to create an animation with lots of motion, I render it from AE in photo-jpeg or animation codec and import to FCPX to make some edits and export the ProRes file from there. When I upload to youtube the quality is SHOT, like completely ruined. Locally the videos look fine, I stopped editing in FCPX because it seems to me FCPX makes my videos a little blurry during motion after export. I have done many render tests and and uploaded to youtube and every upload came out with the same result. I have rendered one final output from AME using dynamic link from AE and the final output was gorgeous, no artifacts what so ever unlike rendering from FCPx. Until i uploaded to youtube then it would turn to crap. Here are some test renders-720 29.97 prores 422 50mps - FCPx final render - Pre rendered in AE using Animation -7

I'm trying to export to Media Encoder from After Effects and I get this error. As you can see, I have all of the latest versions of the software. The only thing that has changed recently is that my OS has been updated Sierra. Any ideas?

I need to upload a video soon for youtube, i saved a video as a jpg sequence and it worked and it didnt encode as a mp3 i dont know how to fix HELP!

I have a list of videos waiting to export in my queue, but if one fails, the queue stops. How do I change the settings so that if one video fails, the list will continue on to the other videos?
