Adobe Media Encoder (Beta)

Media encoder it's not rendering anything. No videos or sound of any kind.

Downloaded the most recent beta versions of Premiere and Media Encoder. I'm encountering a bug that is preventing me from sending files from Premiere to Media Encoder to have Media Encoder render them. Every time I try to start the queue in media encoder, it fails immediately and tells me "could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted." I can render the files directly in Premiere with no issues. 

The computer is scheduled to sleep when unused for 30 minutes. Today I racked up a bunch of renders for it to do and went to lunch. When I came back the machine was asleep, and on wake I found the machine had slept with several more in the queue to go. The queue restarted without intervention, which is good. But, AME should alert the OS that it's busy and prevent sleep until the last job in the queue is finished.  Steps to reproduce:    1. Set machine to sleep after a period of unuse2. Start a render queue that will last longer than the above period Result: ... Machine sleeps without finishing queueExpected: ... Machine to sleep AFTER finishing queue PS. I do not expect to use the "Auto Computer Shutdown" feature since I sleep the machine rather than shut it down. That way it does updates automatically, and it spins up faster. Would be good to have a sleep option alongside the shutdown option. System info    Applicat

If you’re working with hours of footage and struggling to find key sounds, you know how time-consuming it can be to scrub through everything manually. Premiere Pro’s Search panel helps by making sounds searchable, but preprocessing can take time, especially with large media libraries. Let Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) take care of that preprocessing for you.    New in Media Encoder (Beta) 25.6 build 39: You can now generate audio analysis sidecar files using the new Analysis Preset. This adds audio search alongside existing visual search capabilities in Premiere Pro, allowing editors to quickly find moments based on sounds – like cheering crowds, barking dogs, train engines, or crying – as soon as the media is imported.    See how to search with audio in Premiere Pro.     With this new functionality in Media Encoder, you can:  Analyze individual files in the Queue using the Audio Analysis system preset  Create a

I'm trying to render DV NTSC AVI files to MP4. Having extreme difficulty if I'm not using the SSD array because AME now needs to read the whole file before it does anything. I'm using SATA spinning drives on a USB 3 dock because the files have to be captured on other machines (because Firewire Capture is now omitted on Premier). Source files are between 8-12GB Steps to reproduce:    1. Drop a file into the render queue   OR2. once it loads click the preset setting to change settings Result: It takes forever.  Looking at Task Manager, the drive is reading the entire file at full USB speed (external drive), but the file's so big it's taking 5 minutes to do just one file. Unacceptable.Expected: AME is ready to go within seconds. Workaround: Use CS6. Just to test, I started the queue in CS6. The files loaded in 1-2 seconds.  Opening settings took only a second or two as well. I was able to save out point and change bitra

Hey Team, I used this plugin https://aescripts.com/odometer/ in Ae Beta and in my viewport it looked good:but when I render it through Media Encoder Beta I get a white shape: I tried to export this as H.264 with 4mbit VBR 2.I tried also to render it only in AE Beta and I had no white shape. The Plugin is not running in Demo mode, I have a valid license. In Ae normal it works even though in Media encoder.Best GreetingsMischel 

New in Media Encoder (Beta) 25.3 build 35 you can generate visual analysis sidecar files so that editors in Premiere Pro will be able to use visual search as soon as they import the media. Read the Premiere Pro Beta Feature page and the FAQ page to learn more about Media Intelligence Search.With this new functionality in Media Encoder, you can: Analyze individual files in the Queue using the Visual Analysis system preset Create an Ingest Preset that includes a Visual Analysis step Create a new Analysis Watch Folder   These will write a sidecar .prmi file next to the media file which contains the visual analysis. When that media is imported into Premiere Pro, the sidecar file is used so that editors can search immediately without analyzing the clips in Premiere Pro.   Analyze files in the Queue If you need to analyze just a few files outside of Premiere Pro, follow these steps: Drag your media into the Queue panel in Media Encoder Select all the items in the queue (Edit &gt

I have a queue full of many after effects outputs I need rendered. My renders get to the end but appear to never finish, in the encoding windoe times elapsed and remaining do not advance, until I pause and unpause the queue. At that point, the file finishes and it moves onto the next item in the queue.This happens both with h264 and prores outputs so it's not output dependant. I an using AME to queue renders from multiple AE projects so I don't know if it happens for a stright encoding process.  I have many items in the queue and was hoping that these could all progress overnight so having to manually advance after each render is a huge inconvience.This happens in AME beta 25.1 build 38 on Windows 10 but is not exclusive to this build.  I experenced a similar bug (filed) in a previous beta build earlier this month.  

See discussion in release PR forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/problem-with-caption-encoded-file-exported-from-premiere-pro-to-encoder/idi-p/15287602   Steps to reproduce:1 Import an asset with embedded captions. (My asset is a VERY short MXF file previously created in PR with embedded 608 and 708 captions.) 2 Create sequence from it and export as MXF with embedded captions. 3 Queue to AME  Result: Shows warning "offline media is detected and will be encoded with the offline media graphic" and indicates my source file as missing.  Creates a file with embedded captions, Media offline visual, and no audio. When reimported to PR and a sequence created, it has both 608 and 708 captions embedded. I had "import natively" set, and if changed, I saw no warning, but it encodes with Media offline visual, no audio, and only 708 captions on reimport to PR.   It exports correctly from PR.   Expected: Exports with video, audio, and captions em

Steps to reproduce:    1. Apply Metadata burn-in in Premiere    2. Send sequence to MediaEncoder    3. Preview the preset in Premiere Result: Timecode burn-ins have #nbsp at the head, but this does not appear in Premiere.Expected: See the burn-ins as they exist in Premiere.  System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v24.6.0.8    OS: macOS v14.6.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 24

Steps to reproduce:    1. Import an MPEG 2 VOB file.2. Export to any of the standard "match source" settings Result: ... Render is extremely slowExpected: ... Render to be speedyWorkaround: Use release 25.1 build 65.  MP2>MP4 is very speedy. System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.2.0.101    OS: Windows v10.0.22631, RAM: 63.82 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

You can now choose to automatically shut down your computer when the entire Media Encoder render queue is complete.  Check the option at the bottom of the queue.      This is useful to save energy by powering down the system after a long overnight render job for example.  Media Encoder will issue the shutdown command to the OS, but other apps could still interrupt the shutdown process at the OS level, so be sure to quite those other apps.  This option is sticky, meaning it will still be checked the next time you launch Media Encoder.   Be careful testing, because . . . your computer will shut down . . . which is the intention of course 🙂   This feature is available in AME beta 22.0 build 89 and later.   We want to know what you think.  Please join the conversation below.

old Me is working, new Me is garbage!  

Just a note to thank the team for fixing the problem where the machine would sleep while rendering a long queue.  It now finishes the queue, no matter how long, and then allows the machine to sleep. Bravo!!!

I've upgraded the machine with SSDs that are capable of 10GB/sec. But I'm rendering SD DV SDI to SD DV MP4 at around 12KB/s - when it writes.  It's "chunking,"  little write bursts that corresspond to 3D activity on the nVidia GPU and CPU.  Nothing happens on the Intel GPU.  Latest nVidia driver on a 2080ti. This used to render quickly.  What has changed?AME 25.2 build 74 Beta 

We're facing some issues with our Adobe Media Encoder beta builds at the moment and momentarily cannot provide new daily builds. We'll let you know when the issue is resolved. Thanks for your patience.

Most current build won't install. Installation failed error. Don't know which build as I un installed previous build to see it that would help: did not.

I'm getting LOG-looking footage (grey, washed out) from Media Encoder, even though my colour settings in Premiere appear to be correct? I have a Canon EOS C80 and recording Canon XF AVC S files in C-Log 2. Seems like the colour output info is not getting to ME? In Premiere, under the settings tab in Lumetri Colour: Media Colour Space: C-LOG 2 / Wide GamutColour Setup: Wide Gamut (tone mapped)Output Colour Space: Rec.709 Oddly, if I don't export the footage to ME, and just use Premiere's encoding, the footage looks fine.

Here's something that always drove me crazy, and sometimes caused problems.  It's been present in all builds of AME... It's the scroll wheel action while scrolling settings. If I'm scrolling through the video settings, and the mouse happens to pass over one of the dropdown lists, the dropdown list starts scrolling, and if I'm not looking, I've set something where it shouldn't be. If scrolling the settings, the dropdown lists shouldn't respond unless clicked on, then the scroll wheel could reveal the list. Thanks! System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.1.0.50    OS: Windows v10.0.22631, RAM: 63.83 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

I'm using Media Encoder to queue multiple after effects projects that each have a particularly long time-per-frame. Normally, I can see the queue's progress but media encoder seems to get stuck visually with the time elapsed counter, progress bar, and other visual information stuck.  Resizing the window doesn't normally fix it but resizing the encoding panel usually does. This was concerning me because it appeared that my render had hung on the last frame of a file for 20 minutes while in actuality the file was complete and the next project in the queue was already rendering. After jiggling the interface a bit it updated. I suspect it's not a bug with media encoder function, just the GUI display. System info Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.1.0.34 OS: Windows v10.0.19045, RAM: 63.93 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 8 

Previously, Premiere Pro sequences with third-party audio effects would default to DynamicLink rendering via Premiere Pro, even when the Import sequences natively was enabled. Media Encoder now supports native audio rendering for the audio effects (VST3 and VST plug-ins on both platforms and Audio Units plug-ins on macOS).   Users can control which third-party audio plugins will be loaded for Import sequences natively mode to selectively enable or disable the plug-ins. The effects will be applied in Premiere Pro projects and sent to Media Encoder. To access third-party effects, the plug-ins must be scanned.   For details, see here: https://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/adding-third-party-plugins.html 

DV AVI files captured in CS6 are taking FOREVER to load into AME.Steps to reproduce:    1. Drag & drop a 2-hour DV AVI file into AME2. Wait Result: ... Nothing happens for 5-6 minutes. Nothing shows on drive activity. Eventually it loads and can work, however if you have to open settings to make an adjustment, that waits a good long time too.Expected: ... Within a few seconds  system will be responsive. System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.0.0.44    OS: Windows v10.0.22631, RAM: 63.83 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

As you can see in this screengrab, when using "Darkest" mode in AME (beta 24.6x52), it's impossible to distinguish selected items from non-selected items:...believe it or not, four of the rows in that screengrab are actually "selected". Who at Adobe QC didn't notice this?!Here's a massive close-up, showing the black (unselected) row versus the 8% brightness selected row: I am definitely not a fan of  the "spectrum" way of showing highlighted/selected things throughout the Adobe apps; changing the background from dark grey to imperceptibly-less-dark-grey is just stupid. Use that cyan colour to highlight selected things, please! Or does whoever programs these things have their monitor's contrast turned waaaay up, exactly the opposite of how every graphics professional works?! Workaround: Don't use "Darkest" mode.

When running ME in darkest mode, it's nearly impossible to see if you have an item in the queue selected as shown in the screenshots. This also does not mirror the color of a selected item in PP as shown in the screenshot. When you shift to dark mode, the selected color is confusing to me since it just blends in with the rest of the iterface.
