Adobe Media Encoder

Howdy! So whenever I render through Media Encoder, the colors of my project are always a bit off, often looks faded, like the contrast has been lowered a slight bit.  This issue does not happend when i render in AE directly, nor when i use Media Encoder to render a existing render, lets say a MOV from the AE project to a mp4.  However it does happend every time no matter what settings I change if I render the project through Media Encoder first.  Anyone else struggeling with colors / color profiles in Media Encoder?

Good day Adobe, Ever since the 2023 update, and it took us a while to discover, when we export MP3s at 16K, the encoding automatically ups to 32K. Whether we export the MP3s manually or use a preset (old or new), from Premiere Pro or send over to Media Encoder, the 16 kbps automatically exports as 32 kbps as reflected in both file size increase and what the files properties detail tab shows. Furthermore, this is reproducable on multiple  workstations. Example screenshots attached. Screenshots 

I've encountered a bug when making proxies from DJI footage (h.265 HEVC). I've been doing this for years with Premiere/Adobe Media Encoder, but the process is now broken in the 23.5 version (possibly earlier versions of 23 as well). Essentially, when I create the proxy file in Adobe Media Encoder, it rapidly transcodes the file (much faster than it used to take) and the resulting file is unplayable, either inside Premiere or using a standard video player. The frame freezes up rather quickly in the video and it won't play. The original file will also no longer scrub in the timeline. The proxy file plays back as black. To test whether it was something I was doing, I ran the same file through Adobe Media Encoder 22.6.4 and it plays back just fine. Something seems to have changed in version 2023. If I switch AME 2023 to software engine only, the resulting file will scrub, but I'll get something like 1 frame every 2 seconds. Horrible latency which was never present in earlier vers

I used to be able to leave Media Encoder running in the background whilst continuing working in After Effects or Premiere Pro. Now media encoder takes over the entire CPU and I can't even use a browser or edit a document if it is encoding.  I am presuming this is something to do with CPU priority. I have tried using the 'renice' command in terminal but it has no impact. I have a feeling it is a fault in Mac OS rather than Media Encoder as the whole ecosystem has changed with Catalina. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Using version 14.8 build 31Thank you. Tim

Bonjour à tous, Après avoir créé mon dernier projet sur after effect, je l'ai ajouté sur média encodeur, comme d'habitude, mais mon rendu est décalé: la partie gauche de la vidéo se retrouve à droite. C'est la première fois que cela m'arrive et j'avoue être dépassé.Merci pour votre temps. - After Effect v23.6- Média Encodeur v23.6

As of yesterday, Media Encode crashes without opening with the below crash report.I have not installed any new fonts or made any significant changes since previously opening it with success. The PC is an MSI Gaming i7 10th Gen, 32GB RAM, 500GB HDD with 172GB free running Win 11 PHome 22H2.Follwing Error Crash Report: Process: Adobe Media Encoder.exe [2288]Path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2023\Adobe Media Encoder.exeProduct Version: 23.5.0.51File Version: 23.5.0.51Code Type: x64Parent Process: explorer.exe [10692]Date/Time: 2023-08-10 13:56:58 E.

My export comes with weird color : yellow/unsaturated when exporting on Media Encoder (see pictures to compare) Even with different settings (had to export projects H.264 and MFX). When I render directly on Premiere it is fine. Someone could help me with that? 

So my SSD was getting clogged up so I decided to move all my files to my 😧 drive. All my apps are on there including Premiere Pro and Photoshop - I can open them fine through the files themselves but it seems Creative Cloud doesn't know where they are. Premiere Pro didn't recognise Media Encoder so I forcefully uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it to no luck. Creative cloud keeps trying to update it on my C: drive, obviously it isn't there any more.  In preferences I've changed preffered install location to my 😧 drive but still nothing - and I can't change the syncing location as I recieve and error message when I try to do so. Can anybody help? I've got a load of work to do and basically can't create any proxies right now. I'll attach some images.  The biggest issue is I can't reinstall Media Encoder or AE because Creative Cloud doesn't know  they're not installed.    

I was hoping the newest upgrade would fix this. It didn't. I export a video project using Media Encoder and the audio from a previous export is used instead of the current edit. So strange (although I see this has been an issue for a while.)

I have turned on 'Burn subtitles into video' in the export settings, but it doesn't work. Flicking it on and of sometimes does the trick, and it's not clear why. Checked it multiple times, also updated everything. Seems like a bug, and a pretty annoying one if you have numerous amounts of assets in different formats. 

hi, i have a windows server that i would like to use as a network render farm with media encoder for after effects and premiere.  the problem is that i currently have adobe cc license installed on a laptop and desktop pc.  i read that there is an app called aerender, but i wasn't able to figure out how to get it to work.  is it possible to do this without a license, or can i purchase a 3rd license?

Hey there!  I'm having some trouble with Media Encoder. Every time I try to export my project as a TIFF Seq, Quicktime, MP4, or AVI file, I end up with this strange split-screen error. I've tried a bunch of different settings, but nothing seems to work. I thought it was just a preview issue, but it's showing up in the final product too.  Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I keep on recieving an error for my video, its supposed to come out around 50 minutes but sometimes when I export it I recieve an Error and the other times I export it it will play for 8 minutes or so then skip to the end even the the mp4 file reads 50 minutes. Here is the info for the error:Error compiling movie.Export errorError finishing encode.writing with exporter: h.264writing to file: C:Users\goblin\OneDrive\Desktop\videosyt\dishonored1_3.mp4around time code 49:27:37component: H.264 of type exporterselector: 9Error Code: 39Really hoping not to lose this footage, its the 3rd video of a series.

M2proのMacでMediaEncoder 23.6を使っていますが、選択肢の中にDCPがなくなっていました（IntelのMacで使っていたときにはDCPデータの書き出しができました）。ネットでいろいろ調べたらアプリケーションの情報を見るで「Rosettaを使用して開く」の項目にチェックを入れて再起動したらDCP書き出しが使えるようになるようなことが書かれてあったので、挑戦してみましたがダメでした。

In the latest version of this program none of the upload direct to social media features work. I have tested with various sized videos (1920x1080, 1080x1080, 1080x1920). All videos under 5mb and 10 seconds long. Twitter fail message: "The video must be 1920 by 1200 or less, 60 FPS or less, 140 seconds or less and 512MB or less, progressive, mono or stereo AAC audio"All videos work uploading direct to Twitter. Vimeo fail message: " Vimeo - Could not obtain upload ticket" Please help i am using this automated step regularly. Thanks 🙂 M 

Hello all,I'm attempting to set up a dedicated export machine in my company's new office. This machine is an HP Z620 (running Windows 10) and will rely on AME's watch folders in order to pull projects export. The files being pulled exist on a network server with there being watch folders for each editor. The editors will put their completed projects in their respective watch folders, which would then allow for AME to pull and export out their projects. Now, the issue I'm running into with this is the fact that the company runs off of Macs (currently iMacs, not my personal choice, but our CEOs) for editing, thus making the file path to the project and every other associated file completely different than what it would be on Windows. Because of this, early tests of this system yielded the red "Media Offline" screen during the watch folder's export, obviously because of the varying file paths. My question then is how could this issue be remedied or is there a workaround we could use to ge

It is stuck here, just says "exporting video: preview not available"

Tried restarting both AE and Encoder, cleaning preferences, and cache, reinstalled to 23.0 version, nothing works. Both AE and Encoder are the same version.

Hi everyone, I'm making some animations in After effects for a broadcast client. 2 of the many render specifications are Unmatted alpha channel and EBU R128 audio. Stand alone these are no big issue but I struggle to find a workflow to apply both. I can render Unmatted directly in After effects but I can't render with EBU R128 audio. And in AME I have the opposite problem.AME can render with EBU R128 very easely but I somehow can't find an Unmatted alpha menu. Am I missing something? Please help.

I usually export direct from Premiere Pro but recently had to export multiple files to Media Encoder. Next time I tried to open the .prproj files in Premiere Pro, THEY HAD MOVED AND I HAD TO SEARCH FOR IT! AND THEN I HAD TO RE-LINK ALL MY SOURCE FILES! [sorry for all caps but I meant to yell...] Are you kidding me with this? Bad enough the Photoshop interface has become so clunky to use, now Premiere Pro? What are they doing at Adobe...if it isn't broke, break it? Honestly, I've been an Adobe fan since PageMaker and Photoshop 1...I can't imagine why these fabulous, previously intuitive programs are being destroyed. Please help me to figure out what happened and how I can return to an easier workflow. I share folders with clients and I had to explain on a screen share call why I was having trouble finding files. Sorry for the rant, thanks in advance—running macOS Monterey, CC subscription up-to-date.

I would like to write a C++ plugin that allows me to generate encoding task via external input, e.g request over network. Since the extendscript environment in AME does not have access to the Socket class, I have been looking into the Premiere Pro SDK. Is there a suite that allows me to do this? I was looking into the Export Controller, but it seems to only be triggered via user interaction, and not sure its supported anyway by AME. Thanks for any help

Hello, Since the update to AME 23.2.1 encoding of H264 video is very, VERY slow. I noticed that the media browser is also messed up since the newest version. Literally nothing shows up there. Also, trying to rename your output files (woich SHOULD bring up an explorer window) frewezes AME for minutes. Preparing the audio/video files seems to crash the app, but if you wait for more than an hour you'll find out it's just REALLY slow. Rendering after that, works just fine. Reverting to v23.2 fixed the problem on my laptop, but not on my desktop. I'm running W11 with the latest updates on both systems.
