Bug Reports

The new masking feature is great imo, but they sometimes break / disappear when exporting through Media Encoder. I have experienced this when using the object mask tool to then copy a mask into “opacity” to essentially create a layout roto. Hoping this will work soon, or there is some solution to this, because I mainly use Encoder to render, as I have to do a lot of bulk exports. 

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

On and off for months now I have been faced with the exporting bug "Preparing Audio (X of XXXX)." Adobe Media Encoder claims to be processing a range of hundreds to thousands of audio files when I have, at max, 7 audio tracks. I have found many other posts here and on Reddit with the same problem with no answer from Adobe. I'm hoping they will see this and help! I'm going to break down my sequences, troubleshooting, fixes, and failures. All of these projects are for a remote video podcast whose workflow has evolved and grown more complicated but maintains the same bug. May 2023: I begin the podcast editing process.I'm using Adobe Premiere 2022.My timeline has one video source (export from OBS), another video track for nested graphics and After Effects animations, 4 podcast audio tracks, one audio track for sound effects, and 1-2 audio tracks for musicThe "preparing audio" bug begins.

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

ソースより小さいフレームサイズでエンコードする際【レンダラー：GPUアクセラレーション】にした場合「最高レンダリング品質を使用」にチェックを入れてもまったく機能していません。 下記のように「3840×2160」で撮影した動画をPremiereに読み込み、編集で映像の一部分をスケールアップし「720×480」でエンコードします。 【ソース映像】  その際【レンダラー：ソフトウェア処理】であれば「最高レンダリング品質を使用」にチェックを入れれば綺麗な画質でエンコードされます。 【Mercury Playback Engine - ソフトウェア処理】  しかしGPUアクセラレーションでは「最高レンダリング品質を使用」にチェックを入れても画質が荒れてしまいます。 【Mercury Playback Engine - GPUアクセラレーション（CUDA）（OpenGL）】  MediaEncoder 23.0でエンコードするとこのバグは起こりません。23.3か23.4以降から発生しており、最新版の25.0でも引き続きこのバグが起こります。 なお、PremiereProでのエンコードでも同時期から同じバグが発生しています。  【使用環境】Windows 10Intel Core i7 10750HGeforce RTX 2070 Super

Hey there, Have had a look through the forms and couldn't find any solve for this but I'm having troubles adding files to the Media Encoder Queue. I don't get an error or any signs of loading, it just seems like both programs fail to connect.Mac system: 15.6 (24G84)After Effects version: 25.5.0Media Encoder Version: 25.5Trial and error log: -Reinstalled both applications-started Media Encoder and AE after-Adding an AE file manually using the "+" icon results in an endless loading loop, as if the 2 can not connect-Saved AE file under different name and location-Uninstalled any betThings to consider:-AE render queue is working as intended-Im viewing the queue tab in Media Encoder-Adding to Media Encoder through Premiere works fine.Any help would be appreciated as this is needed for a current project where I need to dynamically render different versions of the same comp and doing it through the render queue has proven to be quite tedious.

Problem Converting an audio file from any format to MP3, including MP3 to MP3, AME removes some embedded metadata and alters others.

Buenas. Vengo con un nuevo problema. Resulta que cuando abro Adobe Media Encoder, voy a la pestaña "Editar" y selecciono la opcion "Preferencias", no pasa nada. No se cuelga el programa, ni deja de funcionar. Directamente no me hace caso, como si no hubiera presionado sobre la opcion "Preferencias". A alguien más le ha pasado? Lo pudieron resolver?

I have a QuickTime MOV file that has an embedded EIA-608 caption track. I need to convert it to a format our broadcast servers can play (XDCAM MXF OP1a with embedded captions). Added the file to AME (with the "include captions on import" flag enabled). This would be the easiest solution for transcoding. AME does not recognize the caption stream. It recognizes the video and audio and exports those just fine. Just no caption track.As a test, I tried importing the file to Premiere Pro and it recognized the caption track just fine (and displays correctly in every part of PPro). I'm wondering if there is some setting I am missing in AME, or whether media encoder is just not working properly. I don't want the workaround of having to import to PPRO every time. I just need AME to transcode in a watch folder, or via drag-and-drop. I can provide access to the assets, upon request, for analysis. PPRO VER: 25.5.0AME VER: 25.5 Thank you

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing hangs between Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder (AME). I already reinstalled, updated, and cleared caches, but the issue persists.- What happens:I send a sequence from Premiere Pro to AME.- AME starts rendering, then randomly stalls.- Progress stops and, in Windows Task Manager, AME drops to 0% CPU.- If I close Premiere Pro, AME immediately resumes and continues rendering.-Sometimes just clicking the AME window or switching focus makes it resume for a while, then it stalls again.-Exporting directly from Premiere sometimes works, but sending to AME is unreliable. What I’ve tried: -Changed Project Settings > Renderer. It was initially stuck on “None” with a tooltip saying the playback engine was active; after stopping playback and restarting I could change it, but the problem remains.-Toggled GPU acceleration on/off in both Premiere and AME.-Cleared Media Cache in both apps and deleted the folders manually.-Reset Premiere and AME preferences (

Howdy, so recently I did a walk cycle animation for my class in After Effects. Went to Media Encoder to render it, and while waiting for it to render I accidentally clicked on my extended harddrive. Immediately, got a, "major hardware failure", and couldn't access it from the normal files option. Safetly ejected it, and plugged it back in, and everything seemed fine.Later, started working on my video game project I have on Monday, Sunday was the previous one, and it randomly failed then too. Had to erase an hours worth of work because of how bad it cramped up. I bought a new extended harddrive recently just in case, and honestly didn't think I had any damage as most files were opening okay after I ejected it and plugged it back in again. Then I started copying stuff over, and so far have lost 60+ files of videos and pictures. So far, its mainly memorabilia I've lost, like old game clips, but I have all my graphic design work from junior highschool to sophmore college on this thing

I've had this happen on multiple software versions over the years trying to send an After Effects Comp to Media Encoder. Media Encoder opens when I click, "Add to Media Encoder", but it never links the comp there to be able to export. Even tried manually "add source" from Media Encoder, but it gets hung up trying to connect.I tried closing both apps and reopening, but same issue. I don't really want the solve to be, "just restart your system" becuase that's just a waste of my time and resources. But I'll give it a go and see if that works. I'm using: AE 2025 v25.5.0 (Build 4) and Media Encoder 2025 v25.3 (Build 73)

Hi, for some time now I am having this persisting issue with Adobe Media Encoder. I think this issue started after the Win11 update few months ago, but I am not able to confirm that. I am using the last version on Win11. My issue is that after installation, the program can be opened without issues. But when I close it (for whateve reason) I am not able to open it again. I tried to open it directly from Creative Cloud, from apps or from After Effects for example. But it always does the same thing - shows that it is opening (loading wheel next to mouse), but then it stops and nothing happens. The Encoder is then listed between the backgound tasks, but it just does not open. Few times the reinstall of everything helped - but it still worked only until first time I closed the app, then I was not able to open it again. (I used creative cloud cleaner to remove all data. I also manually removed appdata and related documents.) But now even after the complete reinstall I am

Hi there, After updating my OS, I've been trying to open ME 25 on Macbook Pro running OS 26 and I keep getting the following error:"Adobe Media Encoder 2025" is damaged and can't be opened.

ProblemaUso do Adobe Media Encoder e do Premiere Pro (Dynamic Link com modelos gráficos) está causando consumo excessivo de memória RAM até travar todo o sistema no macOS.O consumo de memória do Media Encoder cresce progressivamente durante exportações, chegando a ultrapassar 80 GB em vídeos maiores, até o macOS emitir alertas de falta de memória e travar o computador (forçando encerramento de apps ou até reinicialização).Em vídeos simples e pequenos também ocorre aumento de consumo, mas não chega a travar o sistema.Se o Premiere Pro permanece aberto em segundo plano, mesmo sem uso ativo, a memória também começa a subir até causar travamento do sistema.Já testei exportar em H.264 e H.265, mas o comportamento é o mesmo.ObservaçãoEsse problema começou recentemente (há algumas semanas). Antes, exportei diversos projetos semelhantes sem qualquer instabilidade.Todos os softwares estão atualizados para a versão mais recente (Premiere Pro, Media Encoder e After Effects, bem como macOS).Versão
