Adobe Media Encoder

App versions: Premiere Pro Version 25.6.3 (Build 2)Media Encoder Version 25.6 (Build 98) Platform and OS:PC with Windows 10 Home 22H2 Build 19045.6691 and Extended Security Updates Summary: When exporting in XAVC HD Long GOP format, the resulting video will occasionally contain glitches, similar to datamoshing, as if coded intra blocks contain illegal references to other frames. This has been observed in a test pattern that is mostly static, but has some graphical elements moving in different directions. All attempts to remedy the issue through uninstalling and reinstalling the software, changing settings, updating drivers, using different SSDs, etc have failed to remedy the issue. In older versions of the software (e.g. Premiere Pro 2021 and Media Encoder 2021,) exporting in XAVC HD Long GOP will not produce those artifacts on the same system (it will however instead produce video well below the target bitrate even when the content motivates a higher bitrate.)

HEVC h.265 is missing in Adobe Media Encoder 25.6 on macOS - It is available in Premiere, Though.This is happening on multiple machines of different types across my team. And we are at a loss as to why this is happening and what to do about it. Any concrete information about H.265 support in adobe products on macOS would be appreviated. We do still see H.265 in Premiere. But sending an export to Media Encoder causes the selected codec to switch to AAC audio.  Media Encoder: Version 25.6 (Build 98)macOS: Sequoia 15.0 through 15.7.3This appears to have started happening in one of the recent Media Encoder 25.x versions.H.265 presets are still present, but when we select them we get an error about the codec being missing.

 hi all,  I have a question when using software only encoding in h264, VBR 1 pass mode:the sample screenshot showing 3 files encoded from the same sequence, using 3 different VBR settings, Target20 Max20, Target10 Max10, Target7 Max7from the bitrate viewer graph,  basically only the beginning part of the video (with some dynamic fast moving video content) reflects the difference in bitrate encoded,  the rest of the video (more like training/ static slide/screen demo style video) looks almost identical in bitrate encoded.is this encoding behavior in Software only CPU VBR mode intentional by design?

Hi, the Media Color Settings AME: do they affect the output file or are they just for "previewing"? I am working with all latest updates on Windows 11. I work for TV broadcast mostly and my final files are ProRes422 QT Movie on Windows. Mostly HD. What are the best settings to use? ThanksJan

Greetings Adobe Community, Yesterday, we had the privalege of encountering a loading bug that prevents Media Encoder from loading, as the attached snippet shows. Nowhere near as notorious as Loading Error 0xc0000142 in Windows Enterprise, but not having Media Encoder can cause inefficienes in workflow, especially since we stack a lot of exports. Credit goes to someone on Reedit, where CoPilot found a solution. Basically, we removed these files from the Media Encoder commons location:- ImporterARRIRAW.prm- ImporterMXF.prm The files are copied elsewhere. Because we use Windows Enterprise, IT needed to move the files. I also suppect that if we reinstall Media Encoder, these files may be reintroduced? Of course, if you deal with these types of footage, they would not have the import support. But we don't use this type of footage, so the fix works out for us.

In the prefs section of ME there is a toggle that asks to add increment if saving file same name. I turn this off, because I want that exisiting file overwritten but I get that damn sheep!!! Please fix so when it is off, i can overwrite files already there!!! TY 

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me.I DO NOT want to burn subtitles into the video, but rather create the video in such a way that I can open or close the subtitles. I've tried so many things—do you have any tips?

Media Encoder freezes at a particular point in my sequence when I try to export it. This happens repeatedly on two different computers, both are running the current version of Premiere and Media Encoder. Oddly, I can export a subset of the sequence that includes the moment where Encoder freezes, but not the entire sequence. Encoder v25.6Premiere v 25.6.3Mac iOS 26.0.1

This seems to be a bug in the latest version of Media Encoder (25.6) No matter what I do, whether it's deleting the preferences folder(s) or reverting the workspace and even try and toggle it with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-1, the Queue window will not show up. I rolled back to base version 25 and the Queue window has returned, so this is particularly odd. Think it's a bug.   

For the past 5 updates of MediaEncoder 2025, I've had extremely long export times for basic sequences. For a 1920x1080 sequence around 2:30 exporting to H264, I'm getting export times in excess of 30 minutes. There are no effects, no titles or graphics, just a basic stringout of 1080p clips. The only difference is the updated MediaEncoder. I had one project that after restarting my computer, the render time went back to normal, maybe less than 30 seconds for a similar sequence with titles, lumetri color, and the works. I've tried restarting the computer this time but I'm still getting these extremely slow export times, all this in time with a huge increase in the annual cost of the software. Why do we keep getting huge increases in annual cost while the software gets worse and worse.---------------------------------ME Version 25.6Edition Windows 10 ProVersion 22H2OS Build 19045.6466Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-7900X CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.30 GHzInstalled RAM 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)Gra

I'm running low on my C: diskspace. That's not Adobes fault, but I ask myself, why is AME bigger than Ae?... is there a whole Ae and Pr inside? AME should just convert, right? look: 

Hello, I recently updated the new version v25 of media encoder and videos that usually export in a few minutes are now taking hours. I am exporting from After effects and have used the same process / settings as previous versions, so dont undertand what is going wrong. Any help would be much appreciated to resolve this.  I have attached a screenshot of a current export. Thank you.

Hi all,I'm trying to export a short video on media encoder, under the word status it says warning. The warning says ꜜ.  What does this mean? What do I have to do?

If I select multiple sequences to export and specify the range to be Source In to Out this is not communicated to Media Encoder. It works OK on individual files.Additionally if I select all the outputs in the Media Encoder Queue and edit the settings to specify Source In to Out. I get the warning that I am affecting multiple entries, however in fact only one is changed. It works correctly for other settings but not for output range. Windows 11.Adobe Premiere Pro 25.0.0 (Build 61)Adobe Media Encoder 25.0 (Build 54) Peter

Hi guy's, If I send anything to media encoder with hardware encoding in the settings while another encoding was happening or another file in the queue The files which I sent in the queue changes it's encoder setting to software encoding. And I can't able to change it hardware encoding again. After the encoding of the previous file completed new file starts to encoding in the software encoding setting. I think it is a bug or something because I can able to encode the files in hardware encoding if I send them one after other and not in queue  

I'm dumping a bunch of existing video files into Media Encoder to make them smaller. I'm exporting them to a new, emty folder. I understand that the program wants to avoid overriting existing files, but when there are no files with the same names in the desitnation folder, I don't need the automatic "_1" at the end.  Is there a setting in Media Encoder to omit the _1 from the file name?Is there a way to append something else, my own custom text, at the end of a file name? Thanks for any help.

I am creating  ProRes 422 Proxy proxies for 4K Sony footage with 8 channel audio. I'll attach these proxies to the master clips in premiere so I can use the toggle proxy function, and so matching the amount of audio channels is important for this.I made a preset with 8 channel audio as discrete tracks (screenshot below), transcoded one clip, and it worked great; got all the audio tracks I needed. So I made a giant queue using that preset for the rest of the raw footage, and after transcoding 8 clips according to the preset perfectly, Media Encoder started transcoding my clips as mono. Mono proxies are useless to me because they won't attach to their 8 channel master clips. Can someone shed some light on how the transcode settings changed in the middle of a queue, despite all of my clips having the same raw footage specs and the same preset assigned? It lost me a lot of time and I would like to avoid this happening again.

adobe always excited to get us to update their apps. yet. their own reps still using CC 2014 . WHY ? WHAT GIVES ???? cause CC2014 as it was the Best ?this is why i hate adobe so much. their own people even hate their updates! caught ya red handed!

Hi, I often record every detail of a project I work on in my "work journal." I want to know if Adobe Media Encoder provides a built-in feature to track render duration and automatically shut down the PC. As far as I know, the render duration is indeed shown while the process is running, but it disappears once the rendering is finished. This way, I can truly leave my PC while rendering without having to start or stop a timer using another application. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m running into a reproducible issue with Motion Graphics Templates (MOGRTs) created in After Effects 25.5.These templates contain complex JavaScript Expressions and are saved as .mogrt files in my Creative Cloud Library. Setup:macOS Tahoe 26Premiere Pro 25.5After Effects 25.5Media Encoder 25.5Problem:Inside Premiere Pro, everything works perfectly.The MOGRTs display correctly, preview without issues, and render exactly as expected.However, as soon as I send the sequence to Adobe Media Encoder,the MOGRT layers are rendered incorrectly or completely broken.Some elements disappear, shift, or lose their expression-driven logic. What I’ve already tried:Cleared all media caches (AE, Premiere, AME)Switched renderer between Mercury Playback Engine (GPU Metal) and Software OnlyDisabled hardware encodingSaved the MOGRTs locally instead of from the CC LibraryTested multiple export codecs (H.264, QuickTime Apple ProRes, DNxHR, etc.)Enabled “Import Sequences Natively”

I do a lot of video editing/creation in After Effects and then I export to Media Encoder to render. For the last few months (I'm presuming after an update) I can no longer send files to media encoder!I've tried sending to the Render Queue and then the AME and also direct from AE (file > export > media encoder). 99% of the time Media Encoder opens up but nothing appears in the queue. On the rare occassion it does make it to the render queue in AME I can't actually render it... It says that it can't connect to the dynamic server. I've uninstalled both pieces of software and reinstalled but that didn't help...I'm using macOS Ventura Version 13.5.2After Effects Version 24.0.1 (Build 2)Media Encoder Version 24.0 (Build 54)Thanks
