Adobe Media Encoder (Beta)

We will update our system requirements with the next major release of our video applications. This includes the 26.0 versions of After Effects, Audition, Character Animator, Media Encoder, and Premiere Pro.      We update our system requirements each year, which allows Media Encoder  to take full advantage of these platforms and helps ensure optimal performance for you.     Minimum macOS Requirements:  macOS Sonoma (version 14) or later.     We recommend running our applications on the latest operating systems:  macOS 26 Tahoe (version 26.1)      Please note that support for macOS Ventura (version 13) is discontinued. It will not be possible to install the 26.0 versions of our video applications on macOS 13 or older.  

Following up on my complaint from months ago, AME beta still crashes mid-render. I'm rendering hourlong recordings of a meeting, Sony FS5 MXF footage, very simple, no edits, just head/tail titles and credits added. Rendering from 2160p to 1080p in HEVC at 10Mbps If I stack 2 or 3 of these, it will generally render one successfully, but the second one will stop midway. Task Manager shows the whole system at idle - no reading, writing or GPU. Pause>restart does nothing.If I stop rendering program still responds.If I duplicate the item and restart, it won't start rendering.If I close the program, it freezes, shows the crash warnings and eventually it goes away after I cancel the "trying to recover your information" dialog. Reopening, duplicating the project then starting the render is a 50/50 chance whether it will work or crash. AME 26.0 (Build 44) Beta - Windows 11 Pro - nVidia 5080

Hello, I tried the new "object mask tool" in Pr Beta (works so great!!) Everything was fine when I exported my video from Pr directly. But when I exported the same video in Media Encoder (beta), the Mask I used in the project did not applied.  System info :    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v26.0.0.36    OS: macOS v15.7.2, RAM: 32.00 Go GB, CPUs (logical): 10

this was happening with the older betas, and continues on the newest one. exporting videos with object masks via media encoder gives warning that masks are offline, and exported media does not contain masked layer at all (as if the layer visibility was toggled off). this is not an issue when exporting each video on its own directly thru premiere. System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v26.0.0.36    OS: macOS v15.6.1, RAM: 16.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 8

It won't let me export because it gives crash or gets cut off, and it doesn't read the masking when you put a title or a graphic in the background. When exporting, it reads Layer 1 as if it were Layer 2.  Im working with Beta version, premiere pro. (In the time line every thing is good but whwn is exporting make it wrong)

Since the update to Adobe Premiere Pro Beta v26.0 around November 7, double-clicking a caption in the Preview window causes the application to crash unexpectedly. Please consider this for a bug fix. 

Anyone experiencing Media Encoder 26.0 running extremely slow and only using a small percentage of their GPUs?

I am unable to open the queue window in the encoder beta after exporting a file from the premiere pro beta. When I click the window tab, and then queue nothing happens and I can't see what is to be exported. I have updated everything and also uninstalled/reinstalled encoder.

Steps to reproduce:    1. Send a project to AME from Premier2. Start the render  Result: Midway through the render everything stops. It keeps machine from sleeping. Have to stop the queue, then it sometimes hangs. If it clears, I can duplicate the project and it will render completely. Often after this happens, when I go to close AME, it will freeze and crash, requiring end task or machine restart.Expected: For the project to render without hanging or crashing. System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v26.0.0.10    OS: Windows v10.0.26200, RAM: 63.79 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

Hi everyone,I’m currently using the beta versions of the following apps:Adobe Media Encoder 25.6After Effects 26.0Premiere Pro 26.0However, when I try to send a composition from After Effects to Adobe Media Encoder, I get a message saying that Media Encoder is not installed — even though it actually is, and works fine when opened directly.I’ve already tried restarting both apps and my system, but the issue persists.Does anyone know how to fix this?Thanks in advance for your help!

When rendering timelines from Premier, AME will occasionallly stop rendering.  I can end the queue, duplicate the item, then start rendering again and it will usually complete.This leaves an incomplete pair of files (.aac & .mp4) in the destination folder.I can't delete those filels unless AME is closed, BUT when I go to close AME, it hangs and has to be force closed. Once closed those orphan  files can be deleted.Log just says "encoding failed." No clue why.Log shows 27 of these events since 9/16/25.  System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.6.0.85    OS: Windows v10.0.26100, RAM: 63.79 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16.nVidia 5080 gpu 8.1.968-1 driver

While I can see the Caption track is selected in Media Encoder's export settings, it is not being encoded.I can export the same sequence with captions directly from Premiere Pro. Steps to reproduce:Export a sequence with a captions track from Premiere Pro in Media Encoder with Burned In Captions selected Result: No captionsExpected: Video with captions  System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.6.0.84    OS: macOS v15.6.1, RAM: 128.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

We are excited to announce that H264 & HEVC Hardware Decoding on Qualcomm GPUs for Windows on ARM native support is now on Media Encoder. This new functionality enables hardware decoding of H264 (4:2:0 8bit) and HEVC (4:2:0 8bit and 10bit) codecs in MP4 and MOV containers. We also now provide support for ProRes in Media Encoder on Windows ARM in public beta! Thank you for being a part of our beta community and for your continued support!

I had to crash out AME after it stopped rendering a long queue midway. When it came back (after a restart for good measure), all the remaining queue items were gone. The only ones left were ones I had manually stopped because there's some kind of glitch in the source. System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.6.0.62    OS: Windows v10.0.26100, RAM: 63.79 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

I'm rendering a whole bunch of clips to h.265 from a timeline. Sources are mostly ProRes but some are MP4. When I started the batch (about 30 clips, each about 10 minutes long), it was running quickly. Now near the end it's running at just about, if not slower than realtime.  Looking at task manager, the nVidia RTX5080 is running at 5%, the Intel GPU at 8%, and processor at 24%. This is much slower than normal. I know it's not drive speed because it's a NVMe array capable of over 1GB/s, and it's logging 1% write What gives? System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.6.0.62    OS: Windows v10.0.26100, RAM: 63.79 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16
