I am experiencing an ongoing issue when exporting videos from After Effects and uploading them to TikTok, and I would appreciate your assistance. I am using Adobe Media Encoder to export my videos with the following settings: Format: H.264 Profile: High Level: 4.2 Bitrate: VBR, 2 Pass Target: 8–12 Mbps After exporting, the video appears in very high quality when first uploaded to TikTok. However, after several hours, the video quality drops significantly, as if the video is being heavily recompressed. My questions are: Are there any Adobe-recommended export settings specifically optimized for TikTok to minimize quality loss after upload? Is there any technical reason related to exporting from After Effects or Adobe Media Encoder that could cause this noticeable drop in quality over time? I would appreciate your guidance on the best possible export settings from After Effects to achieve stable and high-quality results on TikTok.
I have a couple of clips on my AE timeline. My project settings is 4K, but I’m rendering at 1080p. These clips in question turn very pixelized on the final encoding at exactly 1920x1080, but for some reason the quality is ok when I tweak it to some weird resolution like 1926x1082. Other 1080p presets also same issue, it just bugs out at exactly 1920x1080. It’s not even gradual degradation in quality, it’s like a toggle between these 2 image qualities.Continuous Rasterization as precomp doesnt work. I’ve taken it out of precomp onto the final timeline. Initially these are desktop screenshots, PNG. I tried video capture via OBS, but there is still pixelization at 1920x1080. I’m using AME Version 26.0 Build 60. Thoughts?Resolution output as 1926x1082.Pixelization at 1920x1080.
Hi, I'm working on a CEP plugin for Premiere and Media Encoder. There's this bug I can't seem to get around where the renderer's bounds aren't resizing on the vertical axis properly. It looks like this bug has been persisting for quite some time now as it dates back to at least AME 22.5 (minimum version installed for my plugin) from what I can tell. Sometimes it's rendering the "Queue" panel behind it. The horizontal axis resizes just fine, but the vertical is just plain stuck. In the web inspector screenshot, the height is staying at a constant 956 pixels tall.
Hello, I'm using After Effects 2023 and Media Encoder 2023 to use a custom plugin. I also installed the 2026 version. However, during installation, I accidentally clicked the "delete old version" button. I restored After Effects and Media Encoder on my Mac using TimeMachine, and they are working, but when I try to send a composition from After Effects to Media Encoder, I get a warning that the program is not installed. When I try to add an After Effects composition from Media Encoder, I get the same error. When I click "synchronize settings" in Media Encoder, the online login screen appears, but the button to send the confirmation code doesn't work, and it doesn't send a confirmation email. Is there a solution to recover these versions of After Effects and Media Encoder?
Media Encoder Stuck on Loading ImporterARRIRAW.prm (See Attached Image)Tried reinstalling but same issueTried older version and works perfectly, but Premiere doesn't detect an older version Media EncoderCan't use older version since I've already been using the latest version of premiere on all of my Projects.Help.
Now that the mobile Creative Cloud app is gone, is there any way to get Media Encoder to send a notification to your phone when all items have finished encoding? Bizarrely, the desktop app still has a settings panel for Notifications and instructs you to "download the Creative Cloud mobile app". Thanks.
I would like to submit a feature request for Adobe Media Encoder related to frame sizing and layout control.Currently, Media Encoder allows users to crop and scale source footage to fit an output frame, but it does not provide a way to scale footage smaller than the output resolution and position it within the output canvas (i.e., add padding or margins around the source).In many real-world delivery workflows, especially those involving mixed source resolutions, there is a need to: Shrink a source video inside a fixed output resolution Control its position on the canvas (centered or offset) Fill the remaining frame area with a defined background (black, color, or transparency) At present, achieving this requires routing assets through Premiere Pro or After Effects solely for layout purposes, even when no creative editing or compositing is otherwise needed. This adds unnecessary overhead for what is fundamentally a transcoding and formatting task—particularly in batch-processing env
I will often times send something from Premiere to Media Encoder for exporting. Many times I am creating multiple version, so I have a folder of presets that I drag onto the file and I get my 6 different version of the video. I have Media Encoder set to append the preset name to the filename. Othertimes I am not choosing a preset, but i am doing custom settings in Premiere and when I send it to Media Encoder and it will automatically append a preset name to the end of the filename. I *think* it chooses the most recent preset that I made/saved, but the preset column will say "custom" but the filename will have a preset name appended to it. I'll be exporting a 4K file and the filename will have "1080 w-captions" appended to it, even though none of the settings chosen are from that preset. I am using Premiere Pro 25.2.3 and media Encoder 25.2I am running macOS 14.7.6 on a Mac Studio M1 Max with 64GB of RAM. This has been an issue for a few years now, and I always assu
I have a timeline for a 30-minute show. In the timeline, there is raw video, audio, and for pre-done packages, there are embedded sequences. Playing back inside Premiere Pro there is no issue. Everything plays perfectly smoothly. When I render the show in Adobe Media Encoder (AME), some parts of the embedded sequences have major dropped frames. I noticed this only when I went to make the promo and the talent on green screen played fine, the video underneath, which was from an embedded sequence, was dropping frames, but only upon export with AME. Playing on the timeline was fine.For the promo, I noticed that if I switched off "Import Sequences Natively," the render was fine. However, I could not do that when I had to re-export the show, as AME still has an issue where it keeps burning in the closed captions into the video regardless of settings. So, my only fix was to render the shows back out directly from Premiere Pro. Any Ideas? Premiere Pro 24.3.0Windows 10intel 1390
I queue up a project with image 1 in the encoder render, then I go back to the project and change it to image 2 while the first video is still rendering. The encoder changes image 1 to image 2 halfway through the first video. The problem is that for the last two years I have been working the same way and nothing changed in the real-time render if I changed something in the project, but now it changes. This has never happened before.
Hi!I’m encountering a bug when exporting sequences with captions from Adobe Premiere Pro to Adobe Media Encoder (AME). In Premiere Pro, I have a sequence that includes captions (see image01 below). When I send this sequence to AME to render, I choose not to include captions in Premiere's Export window. However, once the sequence reaches Media Encoder, the captions are automatically turned on, and the video is exported with burned-in captions even though I disabled them. Settings and BehaviorI always use the built-in Apple ProRes 422 HQ export preset in Premiere (see image02 below). Here’s what I’ve found:If I export using the preset without modifying any settings in Premiere's Export window, the sequence is exported correctly by AME, with no captions burned in.If I modify any part of the preset settings in Premiere's Export window (for example, I typically disable Effects and Metadata, see image03 below), and send the sequence to AME, the exported video ends up with burned-in

Premiere Pro V25.6.4 사용중이고 프로그램 화면에는 폰트가 잘 나오는데 인코더 내보내기 사용하면 폰트가 누락되서 나옵니다.Media Encoder V25.6.4 사용중입니다. 특정 폰트 오류인줄 알고 폰트 재설치 해도 똑같습니다.간혹 Creative Cloud에서 환경설정 - 서비스 - Adobe Fonts 동기화 취소하면 제대로 나올때가 있는데새로 프로젝트 만들때 마다 폰트 누락이 뜨는걸 봐서는 심각한 문제인것 같습니다. 저만 그런가요?혹시 해결하는 방법이 있나요?
Hi everyone, We're excited to announce a new Adobe Community experience is coming this January. A little bit about the update: The new experience will be simpler to navigate, make it easier to connect with other creatives and Adobe experts, and is designed so you have a say in the evolution of the Adobe apps you use each day. In the meantime: Adobe Community will remain active. Keep using it as usual—there will be no interruption in access. In fact, you’ll notice even more Adobe Experts on deck to provide faster responses before, during, and after the update. No existing content will be lost in the update. Every single post, reply, solution, feature request, and bug report you’ve made will be transferred to the new experience. You won't need to recreate anything. Existing content will reappear in two phases. At launch, posts created on or before November 16th will be available immediately. A few weeks later you’ll see posts created between November 17
If you work with a lot of footage, you know the drill: you import everything into Premiere… and then you wait. And if you use the Search panel, you know how powerful it is for finding exactly what you need. But Premiere has to analyze your media before you can search for anything, including dialogue, sounds, objects, and scenes. On large projects or shared storage, that wait adds up fast. What’s new Media Encoder 26.0 can now perform AI‑powered analysis on your video and audio files before they ever reach Premiere. This includes: Visual content detection (objects, scenes, visual elements) Audio characteristics (sound events, music, ambient sounds, dog barks) Speech‑to‑text transcription for searchable dialogue This allows editors to focus immediately on creative decisions instead of waiting for analysis to complete. How it works When Media Encoder analyzes your media, it creates a small .prmi sidecar file next to your original footage.
Currently, it's near-impossible to get YouTube to understand and interpret an HDR video properly when exporting from Premiere/AME. I end up doing my final color and master export in Davinci, then upload to YouTube. It just works, every time. With Premiere, you have to tweak every setting, make sure everything is absolutely perfect, and use the "Include HDR10 Metadata" checkbox in AME, which disables the CUDA renderer and falls back to CPU. Most of my projects are 1-3 hours in length, so even on a 9950x3D, that can be over 24 hours on a complex project that would otherwise take a couple of hours on the 4090. Even with using the "Matroska Colour Metadata Ingestion Utility" to embed proper metadata, YouTube usually still won't accept the upload as HDR.
Hi there,I'm reporting this as this is the second time I've experienced the issue.When I am batch exporting sequences sent from Premiere Pro using media encoder, the audio levels of the export don't always match the timeline, resulting in the music being way too loud.Note: This happens about 30% of the time on (manually duplicated & reframed) sequences. Here are the details:I manually reframe my edits by duplicating the sequence and changing the sequence settings.I notice that when batch exporting the original sequence, there are no issues. However, when the duplicated/reframed sequences are batch exported, the music is way too loud and does not always match the sequence volume levels. I am running Premiere Pro (Version 25.6.4 (Build 5)) & Media Encoder (Version 25.6.4 (Build 4) on macOS 26.2.
It would be tremendous if some day MediaEncoder could do bulk AAF/OMF and XML/EDL exports. xo, L
The exported video is shifted to the right side of the frame. This causes the right side of the video to be cropped/cut off, while a appears on the left side. I marked red box
Live has never been this easy. Encode once, upload everywhere — all through Adobe Media Encoder. Efficiency unlocked. Done.
I always have to quit and restart Media Encoder after making changes to a dynamically linked comp in After Effects, before exporting from Premiere. Otherwise, it shows as Media offline in Media Encoder during the render. This has been going on for what seems like forever- over multiple past versions. My Adobe apps are always updated to the latest. Please fix. MacOS Sonoma 14.7.1
Hi all, I’m encountering an issue when exporting a video via Media Encoder, where certain sections of the exported video appear as a black, pixelated outline of the image. Please see the attached screenshots (Export Issue 01 and Export Issue 02) for reference. The issue is also visible during the render process in Media Encoder itself (screenshot attached). I’ve completed three exports so far. Each export reproduced the issue, although the affected sections were not exactly the same each time. I've only seen this problem occur during export in Media Encoder. The clips play correctly in the Premiere timeline and also appear fine when viewed in DaVinci Resolve and REDCINE-X.

Hi!I have recently bought a new PC (Intel Core i7 14700K, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 64GB DDR5 RAM) and since then I can't use Adobe Media Encoder as a background task anymore. The rendering speed is about 20 times slower when I just open Photoshop or Premiere and AME is minimized compared to AME being in front. CPU ad GPU usage drops significantly when AME runs in the background as the following screenhots show: On my old PC I have never experienced anything like that, so I wonder if there is some setting that might be responsible for that behavior?
Hi,In Media Encoder I have adjusted all settings incl "use maximum render quality". But when I select preset for next video, the "max render quality is disabled. How come? I am exporting an number of video's in 1080x1920.H.264 MP4 format with AE and Media Encoder.
The "Encoding" panel shows Elapsed time and Remaining time, which is very helpful. But there is extra dead space in that area which could be put to use to show additional information. In particular:"Current Timecode" - sometimes I spot an error (such as Missing Media) during an export, or experience a hang or crash, and having the exact timecode displayed on the screen would help with quickly finding & fixing root problems."Current FPS" - the rendering speed averaged over, say, the last 5 seconds."Avg. FPS" - the rendering speed averaged over the encoding process thus far. This kind of data would also help with finding slow-rendering shots so they can be investigated for ways to optimize the editing/compositing to improve future render times. Example:
