Bug Reports

The latest version of ME does not launch properly for me. Every first-time I try to open it, (like after not using the program or computer being off for a while or not using ME for a day or so) it errors out saying it can't find my adobe license and can either use in trial mode or quit. After quitting, and launching again, it does find the license and then opens properly.  Is this a bug or what?  Suggestions? Thanks. version 25.2 build 141.  

Hello, I am in Premiere 25.2.3 and Media Encoder 25.2. I have MOGRT files in my Premiere timeline. When I send it to Media Encoder it says Missing Asset and names all of the MOGRT in the timeline. When exporting to Premiere the MOGRT export just fine. After Effects would not open in the newest version so I downgraded to version 24.6 and now it opens, but still no luck getting Media Encoder to export the MOGRT files.  These MOGRT files have worked forever in multiple projects. Please help.

Hello,I’m having an issue with Adobe Media Encoder. When I try to launch it, I get this error:"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)."I’ve already tried reinstalling the app, updating Visual C++ Redistributables, and running SFC scan, but the issue persists. Please help me fix this.Thanks in advance!

If you select several video sources in the program queue and click on change preset settings, a window opens where the timecode is broken at the bottom. The timecode of the longest file is shown, although this was not the case in the 2017 version.Logically, the timecode of the video I clicked on should be shown, even though several are selected.Current version is 25.1.Windows 10 22H2 19045.3570.

Hello,Today I tried to export a video from Premiere using Media Encoder, but unfortunately, Media Encoder won’t open. It gets stuck on the startup screen at the “Loading Queue Media” step.In general, the program doesn’t launch at all—regardless of whether I try to open it from the export window in Premiere or manually. The version I’m using is v25.2, and I’m working on an M3 Pro Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.0.Interestingly, older versions of Media Encoder do launch without any issues.Can anyone help me?Thanks in advance!

Since After Effects was updated to version 25.2.2, every time I send a file to render in Media Encoder I get a failed message. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the latest version of Media Encoder is 25.2 and not 25.2.2 like After Effects? mac proos 15.2 (24C101)3.3 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon WAMD Radeon Pro Vega II 32 GB96 GB 2933 MHz DDR4 

Hi Adobe community, I’m a post supervisor currently managing a global film production where our crew uploads footage remotely to a structured QNAP server.Each camera (GoPro, Drone, two Sony FX3s) drops files into a standardized directory that includes:/WeekXX/SDXX/CamXX/Footage /WeekXX/SDXX/CamXX/Transcodes We're using Media Encoder 2025 to automate transcoding using Watch Folders - but the current implementation is making this unworkable. Here’s why:________________Major Problems with Watch Folders in AME 2025 1. Original files are moved into nested timestamped foldersAME creates a folder structure like:/Source/YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS/This moves every input file from the ‘Footage’ folder into a new subdirectory after rendering - which is unacceptable.Result: Our ingest and conform workflows break because files have been relocated without consent. 2. No option to disable this behaviorThere’s no toggle or preference to keep source files untouched.Post-Render Actions used t

I am facing an error issue during rendering on my Adobe encoder in version 25.3.0 (Mac os)

I'm trying to export .mxf files for braodcast. Exporting from Premiere Pro 25.3 works fine. However, in AME (also 25.3) I am only getting the 708 caption track and not the 608. I'm using the same export preset in both programs. In both programs, I see 608 and 708 caption tracks on the export settings page. I found that if I check the "Import sequences natively" option, AME will export both caption tracks, but that causes a bunch of media to become offline. Media that is online in Premiere pro. I believe this to be a bug, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

He notado ultimamente (desde marzo 2025) que la renderización con Dynamic Link desde After a Encoder se ha vuelto muuuy lenta... (videos que antes me los renderizaba en 30 o 40 segundos maximo pasaron a renderizar en 5 minutos o mas). Busque por varios foros y lo unico que me cierra es que este conflicto se dio desde las ultimas 2 actualizaciones de After y Encoder. No tengo problemas tecnicos de hardware en mi PC y ya busqué todas las alternativas posibles a plugins defectuosos y demas cuestiones. No tengo forma de solucionar este inconveniente que es interno del programa! AFTER: 25.2.2ENCODER: 25.2WINDOWS 10 / PROC RYZEN 7 5700G / 32 GB RAM (3200 MHZ) / RTX 3070

Within the last month, everytime I begin encoding a video from premiere it will pause at the 1 or 2 second mark. There will be no adjustment of estimated time or any other indication that the encoding process is progressing. I was first having the issue when I would upload directly to the Frame.io window. Although, I have the same issue even if I go to media encoder directly from premiere's export window. There is nothing unique about the video I am trying to export as far as I can tell. I don't know if it has anything to do with a different motion graphic template I haven't used on a video before that might be slowing the process but I can't imagine it is so complex that it makes the encoding hault completely. I'd say I am a novice when it comes to the more nuanced settings of media encoder and I have never manipulated any settings beyond what the default or recommended settings are. If anyone could shed light on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello CommunityI have a lot of MXF OP1a files with embedded 708 captions and I need to convert them to MP4 files with sidecar captions file.When I do it through Premiere, some files are imported with the captions -it takes a little while to load- and some others without the captions. I know all of them have captions because they have played several times.I have done it before using only Media Encoder, because it's faster and I have a lot of files. But now it's not creating the sidecar captions file from the embedded captions. I have checked the settings, both in ME and PR, but it doesn't seem to work.I'm working with Media Encoder 25.2 (Build 141) and Premiere Pro 25.2.3 (Build 4).My computer is a 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz, with 32 Gb or RAM and the GPU is a AMD Radeon Pro W5500 and Intel UHD Graphics 750.I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

Since version 25 install, my projects from PP to media encoder take extremely long times to load in media encoder.  Once load it takes hours to render a video.  There is no special adjustment layers or transitions.  Dropped files in Sequence, add basic Fade transition between clips, as well as Dip to Black Transition at the end of the last clip.  This is a simple american football game film. - 4K video from Sony Z190 ...

Hi community, I've been encountered this problem everytime I tried to open Media Encoder v25.1 from After Effects v25.1. I searched through the discussion history but it seems like most similar topics are related to macOS. Sadly, I'm on Windows 11. Have asked ChatGPT before but still can't fix this problem. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could help or provide some advice.Things I've tried:- Uninstall and install (both AE and ME)- Update the GPU driver- Switch video rendering from CUDA to Mercury Software Only- Clear the cache

I’ve got so used to my exports just defaulting to sequence in/out as I set them to, now they’ve just started doing this. For some strange reason there’s no option to have “sequence in/out” set as one of your preferences for exports. Why does Adobe make certain things like this so difficult when the solution should be so simple? It means that I’ve got used to sequence in/out and so I go into automatic pilot not checking it, next thing I know my export is taking one hour and I don’t know why and then I remember it’s set to work area. I almost never want the whole work area exported.

My computer specs:Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6226R CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.89 GHz64,0 GB RamNvidia RTX A5000My computer has been experiencing several issues with rendering recently. The rendering time has increased, and most of the renders are coming out corrupted. When I take batch renders, I notice that either they don't complete, or even if they do, they cause problems. I find that I have to repeat the rendering process at least twice to get a working result. What should I do?Would you like some troubleshooting advice for these issues?   

Hi everyone,I'm having issues opening Adobe Media Encoder v25 and 25.1 on my MacBook Pro (M2 chip series). A few seconds after launching, I get the following error message: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."  The application then closes automatically before even reaching the interface. All necessary file and folder permissions have been granted.As a workaround, I’ve installed v24.0, which is working fine for now.         Has anyone else experienced this issue with the latest version? Any solutions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Buenas gente, quisiera saber si a alguien mas le pasa o le paso.  Que Media enconder renderiza exageradamente lento. Antes no me sucedia, pero ahora exportar un video en full Hd de 8 min me tarda mas de 2 hs!!! Tengo una 3070 y un i7 de 12va gen y 32 gb de ram... Es decir q deberia andar sobrado, ya he probado de todo, desinstalar e instalar devuelta, bajar driver de nvidia studio, borrar cache, fijarme que este renderizando con la placa, tiene 24 gb reservados solamente para los programas de adobe, cierro todo lo que me pueda consumir recursos y aun asi tarda una barbaridad... La verdad ya es frustrante, alguna solucion extra??? Que no sean las tipicas que se venn por todos lados, algo q realmente funcione

Hello,I've been using crop presets to make Retail screen exports. (splits a 16x9 video into 4 9x16 videos) The latest update has broken this crop feature.It still works if i build the crop presets on my machine however when I share them with another user it no longer works and just defaults the crop to the center.I've included a google drive link for assets to test.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WqCvs135gR757TpGMfEn2MEJh2Xmj3P1?usp=sharingAny ideas?The obvious solution is to have an older version of media encoder installed for the presets/watch folders, i'm trying to refrain from doing this as multiple users will be effected. Cheers

Hi everyone,I recently upgraded to version 25.2, but after installing it, I found that the program wouldn’t launch at all—nothing happens when I click the button, and there’s no loading screen either... Even worse, after uninstalling and reinstalling version 25.1, Media Encoder still won’t start. The 25.1 version used to work fine on my computer before.I’m wondering if anyone has a good solution for this?Thank you.

I am using Windows 11 Pro, and everything is updated to the latest version, including firmware and BIOS. My sound system is the Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming, utilizing onboard sound.I have noticed that Adobe Media Encoder (AME) does not save the ASIO renderer, and it seems that AME does not even use it at all. However, my onboard sound works perfectly with other programs, such as foobar2000 with the ASIO plug-in. Tech Specs
