Adobe Media Encoder

i recently upgraded to OSX Catalina (finally) and as such, updated all my Creative Cloud apps (to 2020).  I had issues trying to open Premiere Pro the other day, but eventually after trying a dozen times, it opened.  Now that i've edited my video, Adobe Media Encoder won't open.  it does the "Verifying Adobe Media Encoder" and then just stops.... nothing.  at all.  i eveen tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.  can anyone point me in the direction of how to make this work?  i really gotta get this project done!

I'm using both the current (24.1.1 build 2) MEdia Encoder as well as the Beta release. I have the same problem in both versions.Mac Studio M1 OS 14.2.1 64gigs of Ram I have 9X16 content that was exported as a 16X9 video with black bars on either side.I want to crop out the black bars of the 16x9 video and have the 9x16 video as a 9x16 video.I was under the assumption that Media Encoder's "Crop Tool" was where I could get this done.When I set the source crop to 9x16, the source window looked as I would expect: 9x16 with no black bars.When I look at the output, the video is still 16X9 with the black bars.The aspect ratio in the "Basic Video Settings" panel still shows 1920x1080 even after I applied the crop.I tried "match source" on and off, I unlinked the width/height, but the 1920x1080 aspect ratio never changed.The ONLY WAY I can get the crop to work is to manually enter the new 9x16 aspect ratio. 608x1080 This can't be how the tool was designed to work. Am I missing somethi

I use Snagit to do video screengrabs on my Mac desktop, and I would like to be able to bring them into Media Encoder to do scaled down versions of them. Snagit, unfortunately, always seems to create an empty audio track 1, plus a stereo audio track 2. When I render out the clip in Media Encoder, it only listens to track 1, so the render comes out silent. Is there any way to get AME to listen to ALL audio tracks when rendering?  I'd rather not have to open it in Premiere first to strip off the empty track. I haven't had any luck with adjusting the render parameters. I'm using Media Encoder 2024 version 24.1.1 (Build 2) on a Mac Mini with OS 13.2.1 Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I've some H.264 video that has no GPS data, but I'd like add them in post-production during the encoding. In the Media Encoder metadata window there are GPS fields but I'm not able to edit them as you can see in the image:Do you know any tricks to achieve my goal ?I'm working on Adobe Media Encoder 24.11 (build 2) but I've the same problem in Adobe Premiere....Thank you all in advance.Simone

HiWhat are currently the smallest files with alpha that can be created in Media Encoder?I need them as proxy files with alpha in PP. (I know how to make an ingest preset etc.)Many thanks in advance, David EDIT – it should be a very edit-friendly codec 🙂

I need help are taking too long because just yesterday I made one and I don't delay so much !!

When "increment output file name if file with same same" is unchecked, and the target file exists, encoding fails. File is not set to read only, and has no unusual permissions.  No process has an open handle to the file.23.5 build 51Windows 11  - Source File: D:\test content\source.mp4 - Output File: D:\test content\source_1.mov - Preset Used: d3region0_proxy0 - Video: 3840x2160, no alpha, 29.97 fps, 00:00:47:06 - Audio: Uncompressed, 44100 Hz, Stereo, 16bit - Bitrate: - Encoding Time: 00:00:00 07/31/2023 03:08:41 PM : Encoding Failed ------------------------------------------------------------ Encode failed because the file D:\test content\source_1.mov can't be overwritten. 

I just finished creating proxies for a project that was shot in 4k anamorphic.Once I created proxies, it does not give me the option to interpret to 1.33.Do I need to interperet all footage before I make the proxies? (its almost 1TB of video and took about 9 hours to encode)I have never worked with anamorphic or proxies before. Thanks for ther help.

Recently I found that premiere pro export via ME results in some error (partial video rendered as stripe patterns). This is resolved by uninstalling ME, then installing it again. But why is this necessary? Doesn't Creative cloud auto update apps anyway? And is there a way to avoid having to reinstall an app? Or at least an indication when I need to do this?

Hello, i have a video with these specs (first picture) but i can't change avc format to mpg4. I tried changing the format from h264 to MPG4 but my video quality drops a lot and aspect ratio changes completely. How can i export or convert video like second picture? 

Hi there, We've had colleagues report issue across both 24.0 & 24.1 (unsure as to whether or not they have tested with 24.1.1 - have chased to clarify) versions of AME. Exports are attempted using a Apple ProRes 422 HQ interlaced profile but fail to complete every time.  My understanding is that users were initially on 24.1 when encountering this issue. Rolling back to 24.0 worked briefly, but has since resulted in the same issues cropping up. The source location of the media is always the /var/folders/ location (which I believe to be the local Mac Storage?).  The consistent error messages we see are 'The Operation was interrupted by the user' - there is no such physical action / interference by colleagues as far as I understand, and whilst they continue to use their respective devices during the export action, the useage should be no more different / extreme than usual where we have never really seen issues like this.  I've next queried if they r

I know it's been asked before. But like many, I find myself in the same situation as those posts. Whether it's on After Effects or Premiere Pro, the project does not show up in the queue. Even if the folder is on the "watch list." Thankfully, the AE version I have can export '.mp4' videos, but sometimes I find myself in the need to export background-transparent videos so I need that '.mov' file to use on Premiere Pro. However, the problem persists with Premiere Pro.But yeah, has this been fixed? I found this other article: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-dynamic-link-between-after-effects-and-adobe-media-encoder-doesn-t-work-next-steps/td-p/10898879, which seemed helpful at first but it does not. There were some helpful guides that I followed and I followed them in its entirety but the file simply did not translate. See this guide: https://helpx.adobe.com/mx/after-effects/kb/after-effects-composition-export-error.html (it's in Spanish) I

I recently updated AME to 24..1.1.  The release notes state that we can now playback and preview audio and video files in the Export Settings.  I can't seem to be able to do that.  Has anyone else been using this feature?  Thanks.

Hello Adobe, whenever converting a .mov file to .mxf using ME 2024 it fails. ME 2023 works but would like to use the latest version of ME. Below is the fail log information.

Hi,I just got my hands on a brand new computer, 4Ghz 8 cores i9, and a Rtx 2080 ti. I was expecting the i9 to blow my mind during renders, so I fed him a Vr conversion project.Input is a 360 equirectangular, 5.7K video. Converted using the VR Converter effect, to a 5670 x 1000 h.265 video via media encoder.Thought it would heat up the CPU for a while. However, when I open up the performance tab through windows' task manager, the cpu is running on average at 20%. The Gpu sometimes climbs up to 10% (which does not surprise me since I'm already aware that media encoder doesn't know how to encode using the gpu).What I'm concerned about is the low cpu usage. I thought it would go to 100% and render 4 times faster...Drives don't seem to be a bottleneck. It's a m.2 SSD and i'm not asking to write 1Tb/s, the file ends up around 500Mb.I have tried different input files, different resolutions (in and out) not much change. I also tried without effects, simple "3 videos stitched together", cpu usa

How to load an image sequence as source file in AME Scripting and interpret its frame rate?The default here seem to be 29.9700, how to set it to 25pfs for example?

Version: Premiere 24.1, Media Encoder 24.1.1Platform: Windows 10Hey everyone!I've been trying to export this project through media encoder for the last day or so. However it seems to get stuck rendering almost completely randomly. I've tried several different codecs, both gpu and cpu rendering, and even tried exporting it as an image sequence as a last ditch effort and nothing seems to work. The project contains a lot of linked media so I thought that might have been it, but it still seems to get stuck on parts of the video that are purely in premiere. It doesn't even pause at specific points as well, it seems to be almost completely random. In addition I notice that when it does pause cpu and gpu usage seem to go to almost zero like encoder paused. I have no clue why this is happening, any ideas?

How to load an image sequence as source file in AME Scripting? This does not work, what does it need as source?var sourcePath = "filename.[0001-0010].png" var encoderWrapper = frontend.addFileToBatch(sourcePath, format, presetsPath, outputPath); 

AME 24.1.1 (Build 2) on macOS 13.5.2   Several export presets and four Watch Folders disappeared and need to be rebuilt from scratch.   Thankfully AME '23 still has them and can be used.

Is it no longer possible to format files to upload on YouTube and/or Twitter?  I used to be able to format specifically for those sites and now can't find the option.  Has this changed, moved, or been removed as an option completely?

Hi, lately I noticed that the latest version of Media Encoder 24.0.3 build2 for export/rendering use more CPU about 70% and not GPU about 12% (i have 2 Geforce 1080TI in SLI) this is live activity: Why does this happen even though the 'Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Cuda)' option is selected on ME? Is this normal or is there something wrong? also because with the same product the rendering times have become longer than before, the video cards are updated (Driver Studio).Thanks for reply!

Since Media Encorder 2023 version, I can't open the software whatever I do.I tried via the dynamic link of Aftrer Effects : don't openI tried via the Cloud : don't openI tried open Media Encoder directly : don't open Each time, I have to unsinstall and reinstall the software to get it works.But it works only once and then it fails again. Is there anybody who has the same problem?It started a few month ago when I installed the 2023 version.

Hey everyone, So, I'm working on this interview with a multicam setting. Once I am done editing, I'm trying to export the project and then, Media encoder (or Premiere for that matter) will start preparing a lot of audio tracks that do not even exist and it goes on forever, like 15 or 20 minutes. Doesn't matter if the whole timeline is exporting or only a few seconds, it will always do that and the same happened with previous multicam sequences.  As you can see, it is preparing 20 Audio files. But the thing is, I'm only using 2 ZOOM files and a few transition sounds, all of it set on 3 audio tracks. I've looked into multiple troubleshooting options, none of them worked. Does anyone have come up with this problem and solved it?I'm currently running on Premiere Pro 22.4, Media encoder 22.4. My PC is admittedly a bit old: intel(R) Core i5-4460 CPU Quadcore @3.20GHz, 12Go RAM DDR3 and a GTX 1070 but I've exported denser projects with motion design without such a problem.
