Feature Requests

It seems like an oversight that Medai Encoder cannot ingest DNG photos to batch convert to either JPG or PNG. Please allow compatibility to do this. I hope it's not too complicated to add.Also, I know there is a workaround using Photoshop.  File > Scripts > Image processing. But you have to select an entire folder, rather than dropping in specific photos to convert. Maybe others will agree this addition seems like a given?

I have a render queue all set up in AME, and during the first one, the drive failed.  All the files in the queue went to "failed" status, and now I want to lasso the whole bunch and click "duplicate" to restart with a new drive. But I can't. I have to duplicate each job individually. How about enabling "bulk duplicate"??? Thanks.

Multiple times in the last month I have accidentally clicked Stop in while encoding in Media Encoder when I meant to click Pause. It would be great if these buttons were made bigger and possibly farther apart. Maybe in addition to the pause/play/stop icon the actual word could be written out within the button? This would make them bigger and thus easier to click on without accidentally stopping, and having to restart, a big export job. Please upvote if you agree!

If we are rendering new version of the sequence Media Encoder automatically ads "_1"  to the filename. But it should be "_2" becouse it's the second version.

Hi,I think Media Encoder is missing a simple but integral feature that Premiere Pro already has - dynamic scaling ingest/encode.Considering how many more settings and options are available in this software, I am shocked to see this one wasn't integrated.Let's say a client sends a folder with footage from 3 different cameras and a drone that shot in a different resolution. If I threw that folder into a Watch Folder, I'd like Media Encoder to automatically create proxies at 1/4 resolution so the aspect ratio is preserved. Premiere already allows users to do this, so I don't understand why Media Encoder doesn't offer it.While we're on this subject, maybe Media Encoder could also respect/preserve the same audio channel settings as the inbound media (vs. us having to choose). As we all know, Premiere doesn't like proxies that have mismatching audio channels. This entire headache could be avoided if Media Encoder just matched the source audio channels by default. I can't think of a scenario

It would be nice if there were a way to set the resolution limit for videos in Media Encoder, specifically the vertical dimension, and create a preset to handle this automatically.For example, I have footage that is either 3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160 (or maybe another horizontal resolution x 2160). It would be nice to set the resolution limit for the vertical dimension to 1080, and the horizontal dimension would automatically adjust to maintain the original aspect ratio.For this example, the result would be 1920 x 1080 and 2048 x 1080. Handbrake has this capability, but queueing a bunch of videos isn't the easiest.

I would like to see the folder structure that you can create in the Preset Browser window to translate to your local drive as well.Because everytime you re-install AME you lose the folders and groups you create in the Preset Browser window.It would be more efficient to have your presets setup in folders the way you like at a local level, so when you open AME the Preset Browser window looks the same/has the same folder structure as on your local machine.What Im asking for is currently how the User Presets panel work in AE. Hope this is a helpful feature request.

Hi there,I use Adobe Media Encoder regularly, and I find the "Match Source" feature incredibly helpful for streamlining my workflow. However, I’ve noticed that this option is unavailable when encoding in AVI format.I understand that AVI is an older container format, and it may not always be feasible to match source settings exactly due to technical limitations. That said, I believe keeping the "Match Source" button available, with some modifications, could enhance the user experience. Here are a few suggestions for how it could work:Adjust settings within the format's limitationsAutomatically apply source settings (like resolution, frame rate, and aspect ratio) wherever possible without violating AVI's constraints.Highlight unadjustable settingsClearly indicate any settings that couldn't be matched due to format restrictions, perhaps by highlighting them in red or using another visual cue.Provide explanatory tooltips or messagesInclude a brief note for highlighted settings, such as "Th

Why doesn't Media Encoder have more export settings for GIFs? Adobe Express has great presets for different quality exports. Can those Express settings be added to ME as a preset?

Hello everyone,I've been running into an issue with Adobe [Premiere Pro/Media Encoder/etc.] where rendering fails partway through, and instead of resuming from the point of failure, it forces me to start the rendering process from the beginning. This has been quite frustrating, especially for longer projects.I’m curious if anyone else has encountered this and knows why Adobe doesn’t support resuming rendering from where it fails. Is there a specific reason behind this behavior? Is it related to how the rendering process works, hardware limitations, or something else?Also, if you have any tips or workarounds to avoid this issue, I’d love to hear them!Looking forward to your insights.Best RegardsMaahiDevendra

Can the "Match Property to Source Video" function be added to the AVI Export panel options?Yes, yes. I get it. For what possible reason would one need to export any video in the AVI format? Go ahead, crack a few jokes. With that out of the way... I happen to work at a broadcast studio. We are required to output video content in a wide range of formats and resolutions for a number of different screen types with non-standard aspect ratios. I help build AME presets for artist, producers, technical director's to standardize and streamline our output. Some of our systems require certain formats, such as AVI, with certain proprietary codecs, to operate.When it comes to AVI exporting specifically, the export panel for this format does not include the "Match Property to Source" function. This function is very helpful with other formats because it allows us to streamline the number of presets we'd need across our varied content.Can this function be added to the AVI export panel?Thank

Please add an aspect ratio corrector to the Media Encoder, similar to PotPlayer and MPC-HC. This will help correct videos that have the wrong aspect ratio, such as incorrectly displayed 16:9 videos, into the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

Implement next generation (royalty free) encoder from AV1 within Adobe Media Encoder. Several implementations are out, however it would be great if CC 2020 would make it more user-friendly in their AME GUI. Moreover, an adoption of the AVIF format for digital picture media across their other solutions would be welcomed as well.

Dear Adobe Development Team, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to offer a suggestion regarding the export process in Adobe Premiere, specifically related to the behavior of the progress bar. Currently, after the progress bar reaches 100%, there is still a noticeable delay while the software finishes the final steps, such as writing the file and optimizing the "moov atom" for MP4 files. This can be misleading, as users often assume the export is complete once the bar reaches 100%, only to realize that there is still more processing to be done. To improve the user experience and provide more accurate feedback, I propose adjusting how the progress bar operates. Specifically, it would be beneficial if the bar only reaches 100% when all stages of the export process are fully completed, including the finalization of the file and metadata writing. I've included a pseudocode example below to illustrate how this could be implemented: // Function to track export pro

Media Encoder lets us choose from a list of frame rates for our exports, but a specific frame rate can't be entered. I've seen forum responses here over the years that say it simply isn't an option, so I'm requesting it as a feature. I'm converting a 24fps animated sequence to a higher frame rate, so I chose 48 (doubling the original 24 will lead to much less work manually re-interpolating keyframes) but it looks like I'll have to export the final show at 50fps and hope there aren't artifacts or in-between keyframe issues. In the live entertainment and projection design world, non-standard frame rate options would be valuable. Exporting from within After Effects does allow any frame rate to be entered, but that's not an option because it mysteriously locks out the entire program while exporting. Thanks.

this is hardly a new idea as I can see threads discusssing this going back years on Adobe's forums, but those threads are locked and closed, and the problem hasn't been solved so I'm here to ask again: I need media encoder to send me a text or an email when it's done so I can have a life please. Get it done.

For videos with a transparent background, you can easily export small, kb-sized WebM videos for Chrome and Firefox browsers. Unfortunately, Safari does not support transparent WebM videos and requires the MOV format in the H.265 HEVC codec. Media Encoder cannot export this format, and the only workaround I know is to use Apple Compressor software.Ideally, it would be more streamlined if everything could be handled in Media Encoder. Is there any planned update to support this?

Hiya - be great if ME watch folders/set them up to be able trim 10secs off the front or back end of a file.  Sorry if this has been discussed beforeBe good to hear everyoneones thoughtsCheers

can you setup watch folders to trim 10secs off the front and back end of a file thanks

I'm making an animated GIF and I can't even control the file size.I speak on behalf of most customers of Adobe Media Encoder when I say we want control over how video formats are encoded. You pitch AME to be a professional tool, with more features than your free competitors, yet I can't even see an estimate of the file size when converting to an animated gif, let alone change the compression ratio.If you want to catch up with 2023, take a look at open source freeware 'Screen 2 gif' which really makes me wonder why I pay for AME. It's a very different app, but more reliable and does the job it set out to do much better. I can control so much more HOW it encodes - which at the end of the day, is the ONE job AME has. I need to create a gif for Twitter, and limit is 15mb. AME gives me literally no option to make my very short, simple, low res, minimal colours gif a smaller size. Literally zero control over compression. Please just speak to us about how we want to convert videos a

When encoding anything that's not 16:9, the Output Preview shows the preview in a 16:9 box with a misleading mid-grey background. The preview should only show the video, without any added background. From this screenshot, do you think the encode is in fact a 16:9 frame size, with a grey background as part of the video, or a 4:5 frame size, with a grey background that's not really there? There's no way of knowing!The grey background should never be there if it's not part of the encoded video; it should look like this (The video I'm exporting is in fact 4:5. My mocked-up screenshot here shows what it should look like in the output preview):  

Hi.Through Media Encoder, I am able to export hundreds of videos "automatically." Nice. I would never be able to keep up with a fully manual process.BUT - I need the ability to replace the audio track with our standard track we use on fully produced pieces.We have a consistent video length and use the same audio track every time. I just need to replace the audio track with natural sound with our produced "Radio Spot" track. Our track is :30, the video can run long.  The option of using a longer audio track that would automatically duck down at the end of the video track of unknown length would be awesome as well.  Obviously, I can do this manually with Premiere, but I really need Media Encoder.

Since exporting a video sometimes takes a long time I don't always have the time to wait for it to finish. Suddenly I have a meeting, forget the ongoing export, close the laptop, and the whole export fails. I have to start all over again.  Would it be possible for the enocoder to recognize when the laptop lid closes and pause the export?  Thanks,ThomasMacbook Pro user
