Adobe Media Encoder

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 

IssueCaptions are burned into video despite Export Options > Create Sidecar File being turned on Adobe Media Encoder version number24.3 Operating systemWindows 10 Steps to reproduce Export video from Premiere Pro, using Export Options > Create Sidecar FileStart export from Media Encoder Expected result There should be no captions burned into the video, and there should be an SRT file created. Actual result There are captions burned into the video, and there is also a SRT file created. NotesWhen I'm scrubbing the video in Premiere export window, there are no captions visible in the video. However, if I open the settings in Media Encoder and scrub the video, captions are on the video. 

Hi there,when I have a composition in AFX titled for example "composition15.0_test" and I send that to render to Media Encoder, the output filename automatically changes to "composition15-0" (hyphen instead of dot). Why and how can I disable this? Thank you.

Hi! I'm using Media Encoder Version 24.5 (Build 50).  In recent days, I have been trying to export a project that I have edited in Premiere, and in the shots where I have used Warp Stabilizer, it shows the 'media offline' indication in the final video. When I export directly from Premiere, this indication does not exist, and the export is done correctly.Any ideas what is going wrong?

I've read some older posts about this same problem but here we are, it's still a problem. Apparently some update back in  the day fixed it but seem to me they've unfixed it. Has anybody actually figured out how to prevent this? I'd hate to have my monitor glowing all night just to keep the render going... I've tried to look for something in ME settings as well as system settings but nothing stood out. MacOS 13.5.2Latest Creative Cloud apps

Hi,I am using Extendscript to automate rendering from After Effects projects.In the Extendscript toolkit, or through BridgeTalk, I can make the following work with AME cc:var fnt = app.getFrontend();var ech = app.getEncoderHost();var exp = app.getExporter();//The comp to be renderedvar cmp = "F:\\ProjectsAE\\AEProject.aep";//AME presets to be used (I had to copy the epr files from their original location to a simple path for this to work)var pst = "C:\\AMEPresets\\AVC-Intra Class100 1080 50i.epr";var pst2="C:\\AMEPresets\\PAL DV Widescreen.epr";//Output files without extensionsvar out = "F:\\ProjectsAE\\Render\\AEProject_Onair";var out2="F:\\ProjectsAE\\Render\\AEProject_Preview";//This adds onair preset/outputfnt.addCompToBatch(cmp,pst,out); //This adds preview preset/output for the same compfnt.addCompToBatch(cmp,pst2,out2); //This starts renderingech.runBatch(); //This deletes the queue//exp.removeAllBatchItems();The problem is that two render items are added in the batch, one for e

There used to be a Channels selection in ME that had things like (RGB, RGB+Alpha, etc.).  I can't find it (v24.5).  I've tried to use AVI, Quicktime, and a few others, but no option appears for the channels.  I do see a check box for 'alpha only', but that is not what I want.I've recently discovered I can choose a preset that states 'plus alpha'. I ended up using Quicktime and a profile with alpha. Oddly, I couldn't find it for AVI, and that is what I've used in the past.Note that even when I choose the profile with alpha, I still don't see a specific setting that is tied to this. I'm still curious if I am missing something obvious, as removing the Channels option seems odd.

Hello, I have a 30 fps video, but the media encoder changes it to 25 fps, how can I make it 30 fps?

I have been trying to export this visual I made on media encoder, but every time I try, it comes out low quality, although the original footage I used was 4K quality. Attached is the original video, my edit, and my export settings. This also seems to be a problem during playback in AE as it also looks to be low quality, so is it something to do with effects making the video lower quality? I think it may not be the exporting being the problem but the effects, but why do the effects make the quality lower and how can i fix this, or is it the export settings? 

AE 2022+ME 2022imported aep. into ME successfully without any link issue but the compositions didn't show up as expected, as you can see, nothing's listed in the window. It's a complicated project, but i waited for several hours and nothing showed up still.Same thing happen on the AE side, only even but the import-window didn't show upAny help is much appreciated!!!Tx

After editing a 12h01m long project and trying to render it, after 5 hours of processing Media Encoder reports an error and fails to encode the mp4 file.This is the error that I get in the logs: ------------------------------------------------------------ - Encoding Time: 04:57:40 06/09/2024 02:23:39 AM : Encoding Failed ------------------------------------------------------------ A low-level exception occurred in: H.264 (Exporter:9) Export Error Error compiling movie.

Writing with exporter: H.264 Writing to file: D:\main.mp4 Around timecode: 00:00:00:00 Component: H.264 of type Exporter Selector: 9 Error code: 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ I noticed that the timecode is 00:00:00:00, so I ran a test and rendered only the first 30 seconds of the project instead of rendering all 12 hours. Media Encoder rendered everything, and the exported video was fine. So there's nothing wrong with the projec

EL render no avanza, he modificado un par de ajustes en los efectos y haavanzado más e ido mejor, pero se siempre se queda pillado en algún punto y no termina, tampoco se queda congelado el programa, todo los demás va correctamente. 

Running latest ME causes system to lag... mouse, AE UI, etc... anyone else experience this?

I cannot find this function in the latest version.It has been very obvious in previous versions. Anyone know where it is?23.6.7

Afternoon. I've been encountering encoding errors on AME when trying to encode in any of the HEVC (H.265) presets.If the output file size is going to be nearly (but not quite) half of the disk space remaining on my hard drive then the encode appears to complete but with a warning. The log is as follows: 06/21/2022 11:56:33 AM : Queue Started - Source File: /var/folders/gx/pqtcctg16jdc7z217nlg4bx00000gn/T/Stane Street_5.prproj - Output File: /Users/simon/Movies/Walking/Stane Street/Outputs/IMG_8675.mp4 - Preset Used: 4K UHD - Video: 3840x2160 (1.0), 60 fps, 100 (63% HLG, 51% PQ), Hardware Encoding, 00:01:51:54 - Audio: AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo - Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass, Target 35.00 Mbps - Encoding Time: 00:06:07 06/21/2022 12:02:40 PM : File Encoded with warning ------------------------------------------------------------ Adobe Media Encoder Could not write XMP data in output file. ------------------------------------------------------------ 06/21/2022 12:02:5

I recently upgraded from CC2017 to CC2018 on both my PC at work and my Mac at home. When I was using CC2017 encoding 1920x755 (for digital signage) worked fine to a MPEG2 file. Today, I was trying to encode to a MPEG2 file, and started getting this error below. It happens on both my Mac at home and PC at work.I can get a 1920x1080 to encode, (1920x754 and 1920x756 both encode ok), the size I need to export for digital signage is 1920x755.Is there somewhere I can find what frame size is supported by MPEG2 codec? I feel like I've eliminated "hardware or memory problems" Things I've tried so far:- Uninstalled and reinstalled Media Encoder latest version (kept preferences from old CC2017 and also deleted preferences)- Cleared all my media caches- Restarted - Updated video card drivers- Tried a new simple AE project - Encoding Time: 00:00:0208/27/2018 04:58:33 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Codec compression

Is there any way to have a Watch Folder preset that will export a specific frame number (time code) to a JPEG? So far I have only been able to export the first frame, or an image sequence of all the frames.  What I am trying to do is create a Watch Folder I can drag a video file in to. ME will then export a JPEG of the 29th frame, or 00:00:00:29 to use as a preview image. I can get regular preset to do this by manually clicking on the preset, dragging the scrubber to the 29th frame, then hit ok and run the queue, but I cant get it to do this as part of a Watch Folder. When I use a JPEG preset on a Watch Folder I only get the first frame (which is never useful) or an image sequence, which is too much. 

This is my first time posting one of these types of questions. I know how detailed people need to be in order to get informed responses so please bear with me in the comments as I get back to you the computer specs that are requested. For now, here is the issue: Only recently have my h.264 exports had this weird black and white glitch that FLASHES at random. It doesn't seem to show up in Premiere Pro (though I have seen it once) so it's not an issue on the timeline.

Dear Community,I am currently trying to convert multiple JPEG files into H.264 formats using Media Encoder, and it's working quite well. However, I have the problem that the length is limited to 5 seconds. I can shorten it, but I can't extend it to, for example, 15 seconds. I could simply export it in Premiere, but since I have several JPEG files that I want to export as individual H.264 files, does anyone have an idea on how to achieve this?Best

Adobe Media Encoder will automatically rename inputted source files to their embedded tape name if there is one. For example:Source File: Drone Footage Comp 001Tape Name: Drone Glasgow 22-06-24 Adobe Media Encoder will output the file as Drone Glasgow 22-06-24 and totally disregard the original file name. This is also true for transcoding AS-11 MXF files. AS-11 files will have their production ID as a tape name, and AME will output the file as the production ID. This may be helpful in some situations, but it really should be keeping original file names by default - especially when you're transcoding lots of files. 

I'm using Media Encoder to export my sequence, but it always shows that media is missing during encoding. I found out that only MVI files are reported as missing when rendering/encoding in Media Encoder. I've tried converting MVI files to MP4, then exporting them in Media Encoder, and it works/renders with no issues.

Since my last update (24.5), I have had a lot of audio sync issues when exporting, though not every export is like this.  I have Media Encoder set to start the queue automatically after 30 seconds, and I often add 3-5 videos to the queue at a time. Often, the first video to export will be the one out of sync, but I think it specifically happens when I add a video to the queue while another video is "Preparing Audio." I'm on a 2020 M1 Mac Mini running MacOS 14.5. Has anyone else seen this issue? Is there a fix, or do I need to go back a version and wait for an update?

it's all in the headline.

I dont know whats happened but in the last week i dont seem to be able to render from media encoder properly. Every single thing i send is having issues. captions wont render despite all the correct settings being there, im getting black frames starting from halfway through a composition for no reason. my settings or way of rendering havent changed. i've updated the software to the newest version to see if that helps and it just seems to make it worse. I use it every day to export from premier pro and after effects to have more control over the video and its really slowing me down having to render things multiple times to eventually render straight out the programme.
