Adobe Media Encoder

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! 😞

Adobe Media encoder plugin is missing in After Effects. How do you install the plugin?

Media encoder or other encoding options in premiere or after effects corrupts h264 when exporting to afp server so it doesnt fail but the thumbnail of the file is not visible and it doesnt open or play correctly. When played with quicktime player, the first few seconds is freeze frame. I found out that it is an old problem that exporting straight to afp server it could corrupt. I have tried to export straight to the computer and that works. Smb server connection does the same for now, I've tried that already. Everything has been updated. Its happening only with adobe softwares and I'm on macbook pro M2 ultra, hardware encoding. Afp server is from 10gbps ethernet running on thunderbolt dock. Server is qnap ts-873.

Most of our content is long form (documentaries, broadcast, films, etc), however when we do short form (commercials, promos, etc) that are approximately less than a minute... upon export the video as an h264 it is always cut short and typically "freezes" on a frame for the last few seconds of the video (audio is fine).  Long form is fine. We have tried exporting as different formats such as ProRes 422 or 4444 and, then taking that video as an h264 and same thing happens. We have toyed with the Renderer from software only to Metal, and have had mixed results.  It sometimes works, but more often still simply freezes the last few moments.  Older Macs seem to be more "reliable" in getting the full video when running Software Only verses newer Macs which consistently cut it short. We've also tried directly out of Premiere with same results, across multiple machines of different generations. This has been an issue for our team for awhile, but as mentioned,

Hi!In third-party application's documentation i found next sentences :"Starting with AME 11.1.2.35, the Adobe Media Encoder can be installed as a Windows Service. This service should be running at all times on the central AME machine. See Adobe documentation on how to install Adobe Media Encoder as a Windows service."But i couldn't find any information about it.How i can do it ?

When encoding, my Media Encoder 2024.0.3 regularly gets stuck between 90-100% when rendering - just never continues or closes off the file. I have experienced the same problem with earlier versions of ME as well.If I press "Stop Queue", right-click the job and select "Reset Status", it usually renders the file completely. It just seems totally arbitrary and a bit annoying, specially when rendering an entire list of compositions and it get stuck on one of the first. Anyone with the same problems? System: Intel i9 13900, 64 GB memory, nVidia Quadro A2000, fully updated Windows 11, display drivers and Adobe-programs and 500 GB free SDD-space at primary drive and 800 on my project drive.

My question is, does Media Encoder not support expresion controls>point control for MOGRT (created with aftereffects)? Or is it a bug? MOGRT created in aftereffects 2024 and used in Premiere Pro 2024.It resets when rendering with Media Encoder. [Information to be reset]Position information linked to point control No problem when rendering in Premiere Pro.

I am have some serious issues with AME 2020. Right now, it wont even launch as the error message it gives is cannot create folder  /users/.../documents/adobe/adobe media encoder/14.0/presets If I go to that folder and manually put in a folder called Presets - will launch  - however, I cannot open the edit>preferences in AME nor can I import a file as the error code on that reads 'File import error the file could not be imported Could not read from source.' I can, however, take that exact file in PP and export it to Queue and it will open in AME - but, I get a warning in AME that 'offline media is detected and will be encoded with the offline media graphic' I have tried to uninstall AME and re-install,. un-install and reinstall both PP and AME still same issueto further trouble shoot, I have my 'old' C drive still in the puter after putting in a SSD months ago (all works fine up untill a couple days ago) but I can launch AME 2019 on what is now the D drive and the

As the title said, Media Encoder exports and produce that kind of green/yellow scene. However, it exports extremely fine in Premiere Pro. How do I fix this because I rely a lot for Media Encoder? 

Hi,I would like to point out an incorrect behavior of some Creative Cloud programs, which create an Adobe folder and subfolders in “My documents” folder on PC.I think this should be avoided, as My documents folder is a private area, in which no program should store any data. It poses for instance problems in the synchronization using other tools (such as Synology).On Windows platform (I don’t know about Mac OS) there are specific folders created by the OS (C:\User Name\AppData\Local and C:\User Name\AppData\Roaming) where programs can store their own information. And by the way this is done by most Adobe programs.So, please change the features of the corresponding programs (Premiere Pro, Audition, etc.) and stop the generation of these folders.Thank you,Pascal

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder 2023 Version 23.5 (Build 51) on Windows 10 to encode and then publish videos to YouTube. The YouTube uploads take an incredibly long time; I have gigabit internet, but the videos only upload using around 50 megabits or a twentieth of my speed. If I use a browser to upload, most or all of my bandwidth is used as I would expect. I know AME is capable of using more bandwidth, as uploading multiple videos at once uses about 50 megabits per video rather than total. I cannot find any way to uncap this speed or change it at all, but it makes very little sense for me to use AME to publish the videos automatically when it takes half an hour to do what I can do in a couple of minutes manually through a browser.

Seeking to export a Video Timeline clip prepared in Photoshop 2022 23.4.1 into a MP4 video clipDocument is 2160 x 3840 px ( W x H ) >> 4K video in vertical format, 9:16 aspect ratioAttempting to use Adobe Media Encoder but getting an error to the effect that the maximum vertical size is 2304 px, per below attached screenshots. Seems it would be able to handle this if it were horizontal instead of vertical, ie 3840 x 2160 px works, but not 2160 x 3840 px  Any other way I can export this to a vertical 4K mp4 video? or any other workaround? thank you in advance
