Adobe Media Encoder

I am trying to export a small portion of an AE composition as a thin video with a dimention of 60x2160 px. Using the crop panel in the export settings it's easy enough to set the dimensions and do the same to the video settings. However, the exported video file has a size of 64x2160px. If I go back into ME and double-check the export settings before starting the queue, the right side under the Video section now shows the video dimentions as 64x2160. The video exports at the correct dimensions using other formats like H.264 or Quicktime, but the dimensions won't stay where I've set them using HEVC. I can't seem to find any sort of minimum size limitations for HEVC, so I'm wondering if this is a bug. 

Hi,I was wondering was did this option do in the mxf options ? I dont find any docs about this online. Does it transcode VBI or ANC data to something ... like VBI line 21 caption on SD material to ANC caption data ? I just want to know whats this option doing and in witch case you would want to check this box. Thanks.

As a sort of follow up to my last question, I am trying to run an AME script from After Effects. I'm able to succesfully do this by constructing my command, writing it to a file, and running 'system.callSystem();' Something like this:  var cmd = '"/Path/To/AME" --console es.processFile "/Path/To/TMP/File"'; var result = system.callSystem(cmd);  This works successfully but only if AME is closed when the script is run and provided that I close AME again ('app.exit()') at the end of my script. If AME is open when the script is run I get several errors (which I'll paste below) and if I don't exit the app at the end of my script, then After Effects hangs (or my terminal window if I run it directly) indefinitely. Does anyone know how I can sort out this issue so that I can run the script even if AME is already open and leave it open after the script is finished processing? Thank you! Adam ps here are the error messages I'm getting:&

Updated to the latest After Effects yesterday and now when I try to use AME to render AE comps all my footage is color bars.  The renders work fine from the AE render queue, but I can't work on AE while it's rendering....

Hi, I have these EXR frames coming from 3D software; the background is regular Sky skylighting with no map or texture. When processing all the frames with Media encoder, it will remove the background (Sky), and it will show it as black; the whole background is black.I know in After Effect you can choose how to export the background, but I don't see any option in media encoder, I already tried Proress 444, H.264 and DNXthank you.

I'm using Media Encoder ver: 24.4.1 but I've updated it multiple times since installing the 24 version and the issue persists. I'm on the Windows 10 OS. The encoder gets stuck every time I don't use my PC for about 5 to 10 minutes. That has been happening for months now, regardless of the project. If a project requires more than 5-10 minutes to render, and I'm not doing something on my PC while it's rendering, it's getting stuck every time. Then I need to restart my computer to be able to render again.That's very annoying as I can't go idle from the computer as long as rendering is in process which is very inconvenient. I've never encountered this problem on other computers. Anyone with the same issue. Have any idea about the problem?

Whenever I export a video to a certain disk - a 480gb SSD - it gets 24 bytes in size and corrupted. This happens regardless of the folder I export. But when I do the rendering to another disk, I cut the file and paste it in this mentioned 480 SSD, it works normally. I have already cleaned the disk and I have already verified that there is no instability in the SSD, but I would like to know why this problem only occurs with this disk.

Buenas tardes,Hasta hace dos días, todo bien, pero ayer y hoy, ejecuto ME, y no paso de la pantalla de carga, y si logro pasarla (una de cada 15 veces), a la que exporto desde Premiere, se queda trabado e indica NO RESPONDEAmbos programas están actualizados 

Why is it that when I render video (both Premiere Pro and ME) it mostly uses the CPU to render when before it was still rendering using the GPU? I have looked very carefully but it still doesn't work. Although the time issue is just a minor problem, the main problem is that when using CPU to render, the video has very low fps (E.g.: I set the setting to 1080p 60fps but the result is result is only 20fps 720p)And because my English is very bad, please forgive me if there are any mistakes 

Hi all. Just got the new macbook and been loving the speed. Was rendering out deliverables like it was nothing when suddenly... that stopped? Render times increaased exponentially for just about no reason? I've restarted the computer and installed an update, moved clips into new sequences but issue persists. Occuring in both AME and natively in Premiere Pro. For reference, editing non-transcoded RED 6k footage alongside non-transcoded Canon r5 4k footage. Cutting 60s spots. Exporting 1920x1080 H.264. First few renders were done in around 10 seconds. Now more typically  1:1 ratio, taking anywhere from 45s to 2mins for each export.  I understand that I should be super stoked that I'm working with 6k and 4k footage and its only taking a couple minutes for each export. But I have to make like 50 of these so every second counts, trying to get to the bottom of why it was initially so fast and then randomly dwindled.  MBP 16:PROCESSOR AND GRAPHICS M3 Max wit

Every time I send an After Effects comp to the Media Encoder render queue it generates a tmp file stored in the same location of the project. This generates a large amount of files and disk space. Is there a way to automatically delete this files once rendered or, if not, change the location of this AME temp folder. I work with a 15GB Google Drive cloud and it goes out of storage from time to time because of this useless temp files.Thank you, Sergi

I'm working on an AME script that should work alongside an AE script. I would like to send a list of comps from AE to AME (which I'm successfully doing using `app.project.renderQueue.queueInAME(false)`) then edit the render settings for each using an AME script before starting the render.Unfortunately, reading through the AME scripting documentation, I can't figure out how to access a list of all the batch items currently in the queue. I see that the frontend object has methods (like `frontend.addFileToBatch(...)`) which return scripting objects or events like `onItemAddedToBatch` where I can access items as they're added to the batch. But is there a way to access the items already in the queue?It feels like a simple thing, but I just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated 🙂 Thanks! Adam ps - I'm open to other ideas as well (like if I can send render settings from AE with the `app.project.renderQueue.queueInAME` call or if there's a way to add mu

Hi,I'd like to report a bug in 24.3 (Build 49) of Media Encoder 2024. I'm running it on a 2023 Mac Mini with an M2 Pro chip on Ventura 13.4.In an attempt to batch-edit the export settings across 45 .mxf files in Media Encoder, I continue to run into an issue where my audio channel settings do not apply to all 45 files even though all of the other settings do apply.I changed the 4K UHD .mxf  files to be 1080p .mov (QuickTime ProRes 422 Proxy) but need to have the audio output channels set to '5 channels' mono so they match the raws. This is so I can successfully attach them as proxies in Premiere.I've troubleshot a few different ways, including restarting the computer, saving & applying presets, and even reinstalling Media Encoder with my preferences deleted. None of these have helped fix this.Any help, workarounds, or patches would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Jack

I have a .mpg file with video and 8 discrete channels of audio that I'm trying to transcode to a stereo ProRes .mov file. I assumed in transcoding that the 8 discrete audio channels would be mixdown on the ProRes export BUT that is not the case. Please advise. thx

Running ME makes system lag. Mouse lags. AE lags. Workflow lags while ME churning out BG renders... PLEASE FIX ASAP!

I have tried multiple options for encoding a video and during the last week, it has been looping the audio to the beginning at the halfway mark. During the last attempt, I chose "Match Source - Adaptive Medium Bitrate" and it still is giving this error. Is there a glitch that has yet to be reported?  This has not happened to me before and I have not found a solution on this forum yet.There is no update shown avaibale in adobe creative cloud and my encoder is version 24.3. Thank you for any help.

Hello, I'm creating a watch folder with AME to transcode pro-res assets to h.264, but it doesn't seem that the watch folder is active if i have AME closed on the machine i built the watch on. Is that common? Is there a way to keep the watch folder active even if AME isn't open on the machine I built the watch? Thanks!

Anyone know why, when exporting from Premiere Pro 24.3.0 to AME 24.3, with "import sequences natively" switched off, AME keeps burning in closed captions? If I switch "import sequences natively" back on, everything works fine, or if I export directly from Premiere, things work fine. I was needing to fix another bug with embedded sequences not rendering properly when natively imported to AME, so I changed the settings, only to find that I could not stop AME from burning in closed captions.Any help would be great. I've been doing workarounds for some time now. Thanks Premiere Pro 24.3.0Windows 10intel 13900K64GB RAMRTX4090 551.61

I dont know if this is a bug, or me not knowing how to use this.I used to send a bulk  of videos to Me so I dont have to render one by one. I had a specific mograt that would not render, but ok.I updated to Windows 11, and due to SSD problem had to reinstall all apps.Now, when I bulk render in Me, it will not render the mogarts or whatever graphics, and it will not even render all of the video(it will render whole length, but half of it in black).So, with same custom preset, I have now to render every video one by one, a total of 57 videos. What am I missing??

I can veiw the .MXF file just fine in vlc I have roughly 6000 videos left to encode that error out. This is very frustrating.  

I have a 4K timeline with 1080p clips scaled to 200%, until I receive the 4K versions to replace. In the meantime however, I need to export the timeline in 1080p, however they are coming out extremely pixelated at 1080p - I understand this is because AME is doing the following:- Scales 1080p clip to 200% to fit 4K timeline (acceptable downsampling)- Takes pixelated 4K timeline and scales back down to 1080p (not acceptable levels of downsampling) I am doing this by changing the dimensions in Basic Video Settings in Media Encoder. My question is, is there a better way to do this, without creating a separate 1080p timeline? Thanks

Hola a todosLlevo dias peleando con encoder, cada vez que quiero renderizar un video desde ese programa todos los renders los exporta con errores.Por ejemplo un video que encoder me da un peso de 150MB en h264, cuando lo exporta queda en 2MB y asi me pasa con after y con premiere.Menos mal renderizo en animacion y luego en handbrake lo puedo convertir a un video mas liviano y que tenga buena calidad. Pero en premiere no puedo y me da errores.Que pasa Adobe?Que podria hacer para poder exportar los h264 de forma correcta, como antes?

Last two updates of Adobe Media Enccoder (23.5 and 23.4) make AME freezing on import of AVI files with MJPEG codec. The latest version of AME what works fine is 23.3.
