Bug Reports

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. You should move it to the Trash." I've tried to uninstall and install it back a few times with no sucess. Any clues on what is happening? Thanks.

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

PP:25.4.1Media Encoder: 25.4.1Windows 10Eu trabalho para o mesmo cliente tem mais de 1 ano. É de costume fazermos vídeos com mais de 1 hora. São diferentes tipos de câmera e tudo mais. Eu nunca tive problema com o render, mas de umas duas semanas para cá eu simplesmente não consigo renderizar mais do jeito que eu renderizava. O que vocês fizeram com o programa?Eu já limpei cache, já codifiquei arquivos e nada ajuda. 

Hello everyone,Since the last update, Media Encoder won’t launch properly.When I try to run it, the loading icon shows up, but nothing happens. In Task Manager I can see that it’s running in the background, but the application itself never opens.I’ve tried several different versions of Media Encoder and the result is always the same. I’m on Windows 11 Pro, version 24H2.I searched for solutions but couldn’t find anything that worked. The only workaround I have is to repair Creative Cloud every time I want to use Media Encoder. After repairing, it launches correctly, but once I close it, I have to repair Creative Cloud again before I can open it next time.Has anyone found a permanent fix for this issue? I’d really like to avoid repairing Creative Cloud over and over again.Thanks in advance!

Experiencing some weird phenomenon I've never seen before. Anyone have this happen? All I do is hit render and this happens. The render turns out fine its just the UI that wigs out. It happens on both monitors.

Hello Adobe, can you please have a new update on creative cloud, that will solve the exporting issues from Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder. It is really important for all of us having the same issues right now.

I had a 5070Ti and trying to export video kept crashing my machine, I now have a 4080 and although hasn't crashed yet, exports extremely slow when there is any rendering that needs to be done. When it manages to get past the renders the speed picks up. I've used the same .mogrt files since v25.0 and I've tried rolling back drivers and PP/AME, even got call outs from CC directly. Even  Can anybody tell me what's going on? Is there ever going to be a solution?

大家好，自上次更新以來，Media Encoder 無法正常啟動。當我嘗試運行它時，加載圖標出現了，但什麼也沒發生。在任務管理器中，我可以看到它在後台運行，但應用程式本身卻永遠沒有打開。我試過幾個不同版本的 Media Encoder，結果都一樣。有人找到永久解決這個問題的方法了嗎？LOG:UXPLogs_2025-08-22_21-19-02_812813日誌：[2025-08-22_21-19-02][24192][資訊] [常規] UXP 將使用下列資料夾中的 WebView2 執行時，而非系統中的 WebView2 執行時間：CView:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Microsoft\EdgeWeb

Hello my fellow creators and Digital Yodas..I am not the most tech Savy but i need major help...I have been creating long form travel vlog content for 3 years now ith Adobe. PP and Media encoder..My usual export time with encoder is 20 to 40 minutes..Even with 60 minute UHD file sizes..I came home from 4 months at Sea and updated all my systems....Now, a simple 31 minute UHD Vlog says it takes 10 hours!?!?! I tried everything i know and can research, updated settings, cache cleared, quicktime> UHD 60mbs, 60 bitrate, maximum rendering, everything... Nothing is working and i cannot work like this with these times.  what is wrong? i read about some major bugs in the new update perhaps?  my system is a DELL XPS 17 2023 16gb ram 1020gb SSD with Nividia Studio updated and all apps clean and up to date..  I need help, Please. 

After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder 2020 are rendering h264 codec MP4s too bright. The colors are washed out slightly and what I'm assuming is a gamma shift. I'm using Windows 10, After Effects v17.1.4, Adobe Media Encoder v14.4, and Nvidia driver 451.77. This issue does not exist on After Effects 2019 and Adobe Media Encoder 2019. The MP4s look as you would expect, using identical settings for export.One additional finding was that using After Codecs plugin, I'm able to export an MP4 using the x264 codec and the colors are correct. That is also using AE and AME 2020. So, from what I'm gathering there is definitely an issue with AME 2020. I find this annoying issue with nearly every release of AME, and have had it pop up off and on since 2004. This is not an issue with playback between video players, but specifically a color shift in the actual render. I'm not using any display profiles, and have After Effects set to not use a Workspace color profile in Project settings. Have also te

Hello, I'm looking for a solution to a persistent problem. I can't use Media Encoder. The software no longer launches from the After Effects queue. And when I launch the application directly, it crashes during the loading pop-up. I deleted the current version and reinstalled it from Creative Cloud. It never works. This is the only application I'm having trouble with. What should I do? I need it for work. OSX Ventura 13.7.6 and After Effects 2025

Hello.The TEXT OVERLAY function is converting Slashes / to colons : instead of keeping the Slash in the filename, when we show the filename on screen.This was working fine until this last update. The "Slash" appears in vehicle model names like "R/T" and this shows on screen, and if we as a dealer show R:T, we look stupid. So, this change to the way our Watch Folders and overlays handles dozens of videos affects our image. Please fix.

I work with alot of insta 360 footage and as part of my workflow i create proxies of them for smooth editing, often they would just load into ME and then encode overnight But recently when i would que clips for proxies ME would crash instantly, i thought maybe i overloaded it so i only put 4-6 clips in for proxy creation and it worked fine for the first couple clips then immediately force closed, again i thought no problem i could continue after reopening but it was as if ME just completely restarted.I've tryed numerous solutions including restarting my computer, updating the programs, reset ME preferences and Uninstalling / Reinstalling but nothing seems to workThe only solution i haven't tried is rolling back a version but if i can figure something out without doing that im game.-Loyal Adobe Supporter

We have a script running in After Effects that uses the RenderQueue.queueInAME() function to add compositions to the adobe media encoder.It works but all the exported videos (doesn't matter which format) have a slight shift in contrast. They are all slightly brighter with less contrast. What we found out:In After effects the working color space is set to none and assume working gamma is set to 2.2 (SRGB). To reconstruct the output we get from the medie encoder we can set the working color space to SRGB IEC61966-2.1. So switching to this color space gives us the look we accidentally get out of the media encoder when sending stuff there via script. This isdefinetly a bug that should be fixed. If you want to reproduce here are the steps:- Set your project working space to none- Send your job to media encoder via RenderQueue.queueInAME() function- open the export settings and compare source with output. You can already see the color/contrast missmatch Now do the same bu

24 days ago my Media Encoder got auto-updated to the latest version (25.3 Build 73), and in doing so it seems to have broken my FTP presets. I regularly use two FTP presets, one to post archive files to a local network storage server, the other to upload to an offsite online host. Both had been working flawlessly, and stopped working with the update. It throws a log in error on both presets, but that makes no sense, since both presets use admin accounts to log in that never change passwords. I was able to get the local FTP to work by changing to my personal log in, but that get changed every 3 months so I would prefer to use the old admin log in. Has anyone else had FTP issues with the latest version? System specs: 2023 Mac Studio, M2 Ultra, 128gb RAM, Sonoma 14.7

I did an HDR export using Media Encoder from a sequence from Premiere. I noticed I was having poor shadows and highlights compared to the preview from the sequence. I rendered all settings identical but exported natively in Premiere and everything looks normal. There is something wrong with Media Encoders export quality. I rendered two videos with identical export settings between exporting through Premiere vs. Media Encoder in this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ieukixvapaxscde37qpnw/AJ8_Ayp-fd-MgD-DZwmNQEc?rlkey=grxpm8ohdv7ewjvfa8i2z0z81&st=iv56wwhd&dl=0 Please note that dropbox preview does not display HDR footage, so you'll have to download the video files to see the difference. Below is the screen grab of my export settings.  

Adobe Media Encoder cannot link media from Premiere Pro, and I just get media offline in all my exports. Premiere Pro exports the files fine so there is a missing link, I have reconnected media, Cleared cache, Fresh installs, etc. Both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder v25.1 running great on mac book pro   Mod note: Please don't type in all caps. It's against our guidelines. I fixed it for you using a free web app. Please consider it next time.
