Adobe Media Encoder

Hi guys, I am currently trying to write a script in vscode using the ExtendScript extension. I have successfully connected to AME, confirmed by sending through an alert. Every time I try to run the sample code from this guide: https://ame-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/guide/index.html I am getting an error in my code , see the picture attached. I am posting here hoping someone can push me in the right direction.AME Version 22.1.1 (Build 25)Windows 11 22H2 

Whenever I batch  export sequences from Premiere through Media Encoder, the defeault source range is always "custom". It doesn't matter how many times I manually change it to "entire sequence".  There are no selections on my timeline, nothing is highlighted, I have zero in/out points.  Is there a way to set the default source  range to "entire sequence" or am I going to be stuck doing this manually forever? 

For YEARS now I've been stifled by Adobe products with endless bugs. This is a bug that just will not go away. How is it this same problem keeps happening and Adobe hasn't fixed it yet despite being the most overpriced software of it's kind is mind blowing to me. Please let me know when there is a class action lawsuit against adobe for wasting so many valuable hours of my life with their bugs. Adobe will not consistently hold onto fonts and they end up disappearing causing the replacement font to be outside the containing folder and only partly displayed. I have reported this before and noticed others report this and adobe says we're aware and working on it and still years later this keeps randomly happening. Clearly this is devestating to a smooth workflow and extremely frustrating. You don't expect people to keep putting up with this abuse do you, paying outrageous amounts for something chronically broken and frustrating? Please stop wasting our money on whatever you're doing that is

Hi, I experience a slow exporting or rendering in Adobe Media Encoder after i update it to 2023.when i render the After effects project to Media Encoder it takes hours or more to be done,but when i render it in After effects it only takes minutes.I didn't experience this kind of issue in version 2021 of Adobe Media Encoder.

Over 5min in to rendering a 11min clip in 1080 and not even 10% of the way through... EXTREMELY slow renderring. Both AME & in Premiere using the latest versions.... (unable to share files unfortunately)

Hi guys, i use after effects cc 2021 but recently i accidentally unstalled my media encoder cc 2021. So i tried to look up on my creative cloud the same version and i couldn't find it, now i cant render my videos with media encoder because the (2023,2022) versions don't work How can i solve this? Thanks.

I am running Mac Pro 2019 Ventura 13.5.2Premiere Pro 24.0.3 (Build 2)Media Encoder 24.0.3 (Build 2) So we have the same versions running. That answers that question When I send a sequence to export to ME it no longer encodes  but it says it's Encoding. When I go to "stop" it tells me that it is Encoding do I want to strop it? In the very recent past like before it updated version I was able to encode multiple sequences.I have no problem encoding a single sequence from within Premiere Pro itself. Often what ME does is says it's conecting to "Dynamic Link" "This may take a few minutes"But it never really connects. I attach a screen grab. I get no encode preview, although show preview is checked in settings.Just an update, I also have ME 24.2 Beta installed and it works fine. All was fine a version ago.....Thank you,Greg

Another problem in this long list of Media Encoder Issues.I have been trying for hours to render a Premiere Pro project which has multiple After FX dynamic links (intro, lower thirds, outtro etc.). I'm on Windows 11, Dell XPS 8940, Intel i9-10900 3.70 GHz, latest version of all apps, NVidia GForce RTX 2060 graphics, fast SSD drives and 32 Gb of RAM.The sequence won't render from AME (or direct from PP for that matter) and stops on the first frame (as far as I can tell) after the openning After FX intro.I tried everything - Playback engine settings in all types, replacing video files, updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, clearinbg caches, swapping drives, removing effects, rendering to a different drives, disabling parallel encoding and I even sang a Christmas song to Adobe Premiere in 5 different languages.All to no avail UNTIL...I pre-rendered the After FX intro to a QuickTime file (it has to have an alpha channel at the end) and boom, it worked.So on the hand

All apps are all updated 2020 versions.All apps are installed in the same folder.Premiere Pro CC 2020 will not queue media to AME through File -> Export -> Media -> QueueAfter Effects CC 2020 will not connect with AME when rendering through AMEPP and AE also cannot communicate when I replace media with AE composition.  Possible cause of problem:Deleted creative cloud apps folders from C drive then moved default installation to my other drive. All apps installed fine and are all working except for dynamic link. I have tried the following:Uninstalled all apps again - Did not workUninstalled AME then reinstalled - Did not work Temporary workaround:In AME I did:File -> Add Premiere Pro Sequence/AE Composition and AME successfully added them to the queue. Thoughts? Should I do a clean installation of the entire creative cloud app? How do I do that?    

When I export through Media Encoder there is audio in the preview. Audio is checked on for the export as well. However, when I export the project it renders the .mp4 with no audio. This is happening on two different workstations on two different accounts. It seems this issue arose after the new update in Adobe's software.

My System:Windows 11i9 13900K (24 core)128 Gigs of RAM (4000+ hz)EVGA FTW 3090 (24 Gig VRAM)M.2 across the board (working/rendering on separate drives)My Issue:I'm rendering a high-settings video (60 VRB, 2 pass at 4K). Yes, this is a lot, but my machine should handle it. Yet, while rendering on software only, my machine is using only 15 to 20 percent CPU and no GPU. When I switch to GPU acceleration, I'm still using roughly 15 eprcent CPU, but only 10 to 15 percent GPU.What's wrong here, and how do I fix it?Thank you so much. 

I run AME and Premier Pro on two computers; an iMac Pro and Mac Pro.  Recently, I discovered that AME on the iMac Pro has a problem.  I first noticed that it is misinterpreting a preset I have been using for years.  The preset is for Standard Definition NTSC 720x486 with 8 pixels cropped from the left and right and 3 from the top and bottom.  When I open it in AME on the iMac Pro it shows 8 pixels cropped from the left but 0 from the right and 3 from the top and 0 from the bottom.  The same problem is present with the iMac Pro with AME 2018, 2019, and 2021.  The problem is not present on the Mac Pro.  I exported the preset from AME on the Mac Pro and imported into AME on the iMac Pro but the issue is still present.  Furthermore, when I manually edit the AME settings on the iMac Pro and add the crops to the right and bottom and press OK, when I reopen the edit preset dialogue the right and bottom crops are gone.   I tried to attach the p

I would like to Save/Export my Media Encoder custom workspace to an external file so that in the case of a catastrophic crash, I can restore/import the custom workspace and be back up and running faster.Is this possible?

I have the latest version of Adobe media encoder installed and have had the same problem for over a year now.  I do a lot of computer screen recordings that do not have a video camera feed and or just presentation based.  No matter what CBR settings I I try in Adobe media encoder, the final export always seems to be variable and significantly lower than the chosen data rate. If I use CBR for a video camera recording, the output is still variable according to media info but the data rate is a lot closer to what I choose in Adobe media encoder.  I feel like I Adobe media encoder is still doing some variable bit rate analysis to screen based only recordings for some reason. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

From a couple of days suddenly Media Encoder fails all the type of conversion/exports. I already tried to switch between CUDA and Software only, it changed that in Software Only in begin to fail a little later...I didn't change anything in my hardware, it works perfectly for months. Here's one of the log of manyPlease help me! 

When exporting from Premiere (23.4.0) to Encoder (23.5) the exported files don't use each sequence name but keep on using the same name of an old sequence (that was exported in the past). Any idea why this happens (it happens in -at least- a couple of projects), am I missing something?.

I am rendering a GIF out of After Effects, it hangs when it gets to the very end. Weirdly it still plays the file even if I stopped it in the encoder. But I feel like this would somehow corrupt the file. (I'm not super technical I'm more of an artworker, so may be wrong). FYI MP4 worked, it was the Animated GIF that caused an issue. Can anyone suggest a solution please? 

Hi,Since updating to Media Encoder 23.5 I'm having trouble connecting to Dynamic Link server.I tried everything I could find in this community but nothing seems to solve the issue.Uninstalling and downgrading ME and AE, resetting and deleting cache and preference files, checking and unchecking different settings in AE... I'm running ME 23.6 right now on an Apple iMac running macOS Venturea 13.5.1I also have to manually drop my comps into ME for them to show up in the list.Using 'File > Export > Export To Media Encoder Queue' doesn't do anything. Same for the workaround by adding the composition to AE Render Queue and clicking 'Queue in AME'.I didn't have these issues before 23.5 but downgrading to 23.4 doesn't help either.Hope someone has a solution here...

I have 1000s of video files with stereo-audio.Now I need to merge each of these files with a new wav-file with 5.1 surround-audio track. These files have same name as the original file with an extension.Output should be the original video file with stereo-audio (audio channel 1-2) + 5.1 surround (audio channel 3-8).Is it possible to batch this workflow in Adobe Media Encoder? As an alternative, I will need to transcode the original files with stereo-audio to files with 8 channel audio where the original stereo-audio will be mapped to audio channel 1-2. The empty channels 3-8 will be filled out by the software which create the new 5.1 surround mix.

Hello, I'm attempting to use AME to re-encode some files. When I click on the 'Metadata' button to open up the menu, nothing happens. I've tried re-installing and shutting down my system but nothing.(I need to open Metadata in order to make sure it's not exported with file) I had a buddy test out the same files on his system and the 'Metadata' button worked fine. macOS, M1 MAX, Ventura 13.6 Any help would be appreciated!Brandon

Hello, Premiere ExtendScript API has an API to use AME to render a sequence from a project - app.encoder.encodeFile(filePath, outputPath, presetPath, workArea, removeUponCompletion).As its fourth parameter, it takes a "workArea" which can be ENCODE_IN_TO_OUT, meaning the AME should render the part that is between the in and out points set on the sequence in the Premiere project. This in and out point of the sequence is also automatically honoured when dropping the prproj file to a watch folder that AME is configured to watch. Now I am looking for a similar option in the AME ExtendScript API - app.getExporter().exportItem(source, destination, preset).But I could not find it. As a result, the sequence in my prproj file is being rendered in full instead of only the part between in and out points.I noticed a different method (exportSequence) which accepts leadingFramesToTrim/trailingFramesToTrim but it does not look like there is any easy way to get those frame numbers from

Hello!I am having an issue with one of my videos not rendering correctly. For instance in Preimer Pro it looks fine:Then when it starts to render and completes:I am not sure what is going on. The original recorded video is just fine from what I can tell. Same scene from the unedited video. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no clue how to fix this. Further more the clips I add for the opening and closing render just fine, so its narrowed down to just the edited video part...I hope I am making sense. Anyways thanks for the help in advance. 

I cannot export my AE composition straight to AME; AME will open but my comp won't be there. I can, however, add my comp to the AE render queue and then send it to the AME render queue from there, and it shows up, but when I try to render it in AME or adjust render settings it pops up as a Dynamic Link Server Connection failure and then it tells me "Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again."  I have the 2020 AE and AME; and funnily enough what does work is rendering it in AE into a .mov, then uploading that .mov into the AME queue from AME, then it'll render and go into an .mp4. However, making it a .mov takes away some quality and so I'd like to avoid that if possible! Any help would be appreciated; I've already tried the instructions from most tutorial posts on here and they don't work! 😞
