Adobe Media Encoder

why MKV format file isn't supported by Adobe because if it was, it would save us and we are wasting our time to convert it to another format that is supported by Adobe.

Hi all,When converting a 1920x1080 video to h.264 at 400x224 800kbps avg, 1mbps max the quality of the conversion is insanely poor compared to other encoders. Text in particular becomes blotchy, soft and/or excessively low contrast. When using other encoding programs with the same setting the text quality is far more crisp and distinct. Quality in general is much better. Anyone have any ideas on how to improve ME quality when exporting to a very small video size like this? Does ME just not do tiny video size well or is there something I'm missing?Any suggestions are appreciated.

Bonjour,En exportant un fichier depuis After Effects tout semble bien se dérouler dans Media Encoder.Mais en fin de processus je reçois cette alerte : Fichier codé avec avertissement------------------------------------------------------------L’importateur de fichiers a détecté une incohérence dans la structure de fichier de 00013.mp4.La lecture et l’écriture des métadonnées (XMP) de ce fichier ont été désactivées. ... Et la vidéo exportée est illisible.L'erreur est nouvelle et soudaine, tout fonctionnait bien jusque là.J'ai réinstallé AE et ME... mais rien n'y fait 😞Quelqu'un aurait-il une explication, une solution ?...Merci

Win 10 ProPPRO 14.0.1 build 71AE 17.0.2 build 26AME 14.0.1 build 70 When I export from PPRO via AME, AME starts. When I click the green play button to start rendering nothing happens. Sometimes it keeps saying Reading XMP and displaying the blue but it doesn't start rendering. Reinstall of AME did not work. Checking/unchecking import PPRO sequences natively in AME did not work. Direct export from PPRO doesn't work also. I used self created (in AE) .mogrt file. Is that the problem? HELP please, have some clients waiting!Thanks,Levi

Did you know that you can bypass the Export Mode in Premiere Pro by pressing Option-Shift-M to send a sequence directly to Adobe Media Encoder. This shortcut has been added to Premiere Pro 23.3.

Hello, I have a ProRes file with 8 audio channels. I have to encode an h264 from this and only consider audio tracks 1 & 2 as a stereo mix. I can't find any options with the "h264-Preset", with the "Quicktime-Preset" I can find the option to map the audio, but I have no option to select h264 as the codec. am i too stupid or is the media encoder just not able to create such a file? 

We have identified a file name issue affecting H.264 and HEVC/H.265 exports on Windows with Media Encoder 23.1   The issue impacts H.264 and HEVC/H.265 exports to folders with names that use double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or extended ASCII characters, like accents and umlauts. Affected users will see this message: File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of %filename.mp4%. Reading and writing this file’s metadata (XMP) has been disabled.   We will inform you when a fix is available.   If you are experiencing this issue, use one of these options: Choose an export destination folder that uses only single-byte ASCII English characters (no accents, umlauts, etc.) Export to a different format, such as Apple ProRes. For H.264 exports only: disable hardware-accelerated encoding.

So I spent a couple weeks diving into the 1.0 docs that were released last month (https://readthedocs.org/projects/ame-scripting-guide/downloads/pdf/latest/) and have gotten some things to work, namely launching AME command line with a JSX file and getting it to clear the queue, populate it and start rendering.But there are some functions that aren't working for me: I can't get the dynamic setting of FPS, Width, Height or Frame Range to work. I'm using the app.getFrontend().addFileSequenceToBatch() function to create an item from an image sequence, and my hunch is that those attributes are only supported with addFileToBatch for some reason. It would be HUGE if I could leverage that, right now I'm dynamically creating presets to do all but Frame Range setting and it works, but it's an unnecessarily heavy lift and creates tons of presets that need to be cleaned up.I can't figure out whether the writeln print statements go...they don't echo in a shell/console I can find and

Could someone please tell me how i can stop the looping of a gif when i export it in Adobe Media Encoder? I have designed an 8 second composition in After Effects and I want to save it as an animated GIF but only want it to play once, not continuously loop. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks

Since updating to the 22 version of AME, when a file finshes rendering it plays the sheep sound, and not the finished chime. These file are finished successfuly, but it plays the sound for a failed render each time. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey zusammen,ich habe eine Frage bezüglich der Dateigröße von Videos. Ich möchte mein Videoprojekt (geht länger als eine Stunde) auf eine Bluray brennen. Leider habe ich da einige Fragen die ich jetzt so über das Internet nicht beantworten konnte (vielleicht suche ich auch mit den falschen Keywords).Wenn der Bluray-Rohling 25gb Platz hat, inwiefern sollte ich mit der Dateigröße die 25gb anstreben?Lohnt es sich die Bitrate dementsprechend hoch zu stellen? Gäbe es da Probleme bei den Bluray-Playern wenn die Bitrate zu hoch ist (ruckeln bei der Wiedergabe)?Inwiefern kann ich im vorherein ~23gb anstreben, ohne das Video 5 mal rauszurendern. Gibt es da zuverlässliche Wege? Wäre super wenn mir da jemand unter die Arme greifen könnte 🙂

I have a good number of still sequences that need to be encoded. Right now I'm dragging them from their respective individual folders into the queue one at a time. Is there a faster way to get them into the queue basket? 

Been trying to get AME 2020 to encode in 4K HEVC (H265), but I get a very quick fail every time, with error code 7 (Out of Memory) in the logs. Reinstalled AME 2019: it works like a charm.So: rollback to 2019 for me, and will wait for some updates to AME 2020 first. @Adobe Support: If you read this, I'd like to report this as a bug.

Is there a reason why the application takes so long to start up? I mean we have MacPros 2019 with multiple processors and 96gigs of RAM. But AME is the slowest app to open out of all the Adobe apps. Always has been. Is there something I'm missing? Why so slow?

I'm Trying to import Premiere sequences in Media Encoder, but they have media offline. So I heard unchecking the "import sequence natively" option will solve the problem but I can't uncheck it why ?

Well it's another day and Dynamic Link is stopping me from getting my work done yet again. New computer, new install of both AE and ME latest versions. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled, nuked all prefs, reset to default everything (including, at some point, WORKSPACES was causing Dynamic Link to break??? Insane.). ME can't connect to Dynamic Link servcer. When I send to ME from AE, it again never connects. When I drag a project directly into the ME window, it can't connect. I left it attempting to connect overnight last night.  2022 Mac Studio M1 Ultra on Ventura 13.2.1, all Creative Cloud is up to date. 

New 23 Media Encoder just drops dead (crashes) on the start with an errorAnd CC doestnt has an option to return to the older versions!Now how do i supposed to make my job?Mac OS 12.6 (21G115)

Hi there!There's a problem with Media Encoder. After successfully rendering some other projects, now it doesn't seem to work anymore.I exported an animation from Adobe After Effects to the Media Encoder Queue, and I wanted to export it as a mp4 file.As you can see, I already waited for more than half an hour. What to do? I'm kind of new to the field of working with these apps, so hopefully there is an easy fix. Thank you in advance!

So after upgrading to 2017, I am having issues with encoding videos now.  Basically created a 'split-screen' video, but when I go to encode it to H.264 format, one of the video clips is shown as missing.  Go back to premiere, preview, the whole thing, and it's all there.  Go to export, getting frustrated.Any one have this happen, have a fix, a workaround?  After working almost 6 hours on this video, bit tired.Here's a screenshot:

I have been working on a video in Adobe Effects and have not had any issues exporting it to Media Encoder until recently. I deleted some of the older files I was working on so that I didn't get confused about which one I was working on, but then Media Encoder wouldn't work and would give me an error saying I deleted the files in OneDrive and to restore them from the OneDrive recycle bin. So I did that, but it's still not working. In fact, I'm no longer getting that error pop-up, but now it's not working at all! What did I do wrong, and how do I fix it?

I don't remember having this issue with other software, but still I'm not sure if it's Adobe or Apple problem...My iMac is set to sleep after some time. if I leave AME rendering for a long time and go away, when I come back, I find my iMac in sleep mode, and AME paused rendering. When I wake the Mac, AME continues rendering as if nothing happened.it is pretty frustrating to actually remember and go and change my Power settings each time I need to use AME. I would expect that a rendering software will be smart enough to keep the Mac awake, but alas - it doesn't...

I'm having troubleshooting with exporting from premier pro to Media EncoderPlease give me some advice or help for this problem solvingThank you!
