Sometimes a source video has 48.000 hz audio.   Exporting to MP3 from Media Encoder gives some options (like changing the kbps say from 256 to 128) but not to change the sample rate, these are not the same thing.   The resulting MP3 ends up with whatever sample rate the source had, this is fine but it gives compatibility issues with some applications like Adobe Animate which do not accept 48.000 hz audio. Web content in many instances is also limited to 44.100 hz max.   Either let us choose the sample rate ourselves or cap it to 44.100 hz for this specific format.

I would like to do the aaf-exports also via Media-Encoder! Even it is a seperate menu in premiere pro it would be comfortable to delegate the export to media-encoder and continue to work in premiere pro.The same for xml-export although it isn't so time loosing as an aaf-export.

Media Encoder needs to add an h.625 encoding option for 422 10 bit. It's available in Davinci Resolve, shutter encoder, and handbrake - can't understand why it's not available with Adobe.  I use HEVC 422 10 as an archival render setting for projects where I need to preserve a compressed copy of the project files that are still usable without being so large. HEVC is perfect for that but Media encoder doesn't support Main 10 422 encoding. The current work flow options I have are shutter encoder - which is extremely slow - or Davinci - which is tedious.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who would benefit from this update as I've seen several posts asking similar questions with no resolution other that to refer to the other platforms that do it.   Media Encoder is missing an opportunity to fill a gap here. 

I'd love a publish option in Media Encoder that would copy the output file to an arbitrary location in the filesystem. Essentially, I'd like to output the file on one drive, an then automatically copy it to another folder on another drive when the output is complete. Cheers!

I would love to see an option that allowed you to drop files onto an ingest preset and be prompted for the location that the files will be encoded too.

In Adobe Media Encoder, would it be possible to implement that when you press ESC, and before stopping the render, a confirmation message appears asking if you really want to stop it?

Hi,I waited a long time and was lazy to write this, believing that this feature would appear soon. If I have a file and I just want to replace the sound in it without opening Adobe Premiere, then I don't have that option right now. I ask you to add this in new versions along with the function to copy any track without transcoding, as I wrote earlier. So far, I have to use a lot of additional tools to do the work that could be done in one program.Thank you

I want to use Partial Disclosure in Media Encoder which he has got in Vimeo but this feature is not under the presets of Adobe Media Encoder    

I was just reading aobut the FFV1/MKV codec, now considered by the Library of Congress as one of its preferred archival formats.  Any chance of seeing that as an export/import codec in the near future?

Dear Adobe, Could you enhance Media Encoder not to stop the process or slow down the process even it's close the shell of MacBook Pro? When I close the shell(display panel), It seems to be slow down the process or stop the process. But I expect that it will process Exporting footage as a specified video format. That's common background process approach.If there is no API available for the under shell closing from Apple Inc, Could you kindly ask Apple to develop the API. I think there is the API to support my idea not to stop the process or slow down the process. Thank you so much. Best regards,

Hi! I'm an animator who frequently uses Adobe Animate and I've been trying to implement videos to animate over and/or manipulate . There's one major issue though... Adobe Animate supports .mov, .mp4, and .flv video formats but only properly displays .flv files when exporting the Aniamte document into a .swf file. Media Encoder used to support the .flv format but in recent additions removed it entirely. The only other way to implement videos in Animate is to export the video as a PNG sequence, but that can bloat your file size like crazy. Not to mention copy and pasting png sequences from one file to another just breaks the files even more. Additionally, various Adobe written posts and tutorials tell me to use Media Encoder to convert files into .flv that were updated recently. This is clearly incorrect as you can no longer export anything into an .flv format. I have 2 solutions; 1. Add support for FLVs back into Adobe Media Encoder2. Allow MP4s and MOVs to display o

I would love to overlay an animated version of our still title overlay to our videos - to add a little more oomph. Is there a way to apply a looped animation files, so that I can process a batch of hundreds of videos? I am also interested in replacing the raw audio with a standard audio bed, such as a pre-produced radio spot.Thanks.

Dear Community,  currently AME has a very different setup in terms of app language than other Adobe apps such as Premiere Pro or After Effects. In those apps, the langauage settings in the Creative Cloud Desktop app define, what language the app will be in. However in AME, you can freely switch the app language in the preferences of the app.  If we would change the model AME uses right now towards the same as Premiere Pro / After Effects / Audition etc., will there be blocking issues you'd be facing? What kind of workflows are not possible if the change this?   We would be happy to hear from you regarding this issue!

i uploaded my files to proxy in media encoder and walked away to go shower while they do their thing. When i came back 20 min later a window saying "how likely are you to recommend media encoder to a friend" popped up. they never even proxy'd, the stupid window just sat open... so no im not recommending dick. yall lucky sony is trash

I'd love to have the option to use speech enhace in an audio conversion. I'm talking about the same technology that is behind Adobe Podcast enhancer.  

I bought a second Mac Pro, just to be able to process my videos while I am still editing on the other computer. However, I have to subscribe and unsubscribe from a SECOND CC account just to do that one thing during larger productions. Please allow a second machine to operate Media Encoder simultaneously.🙂 

I find that I always have to run my videos, after exporting from Premier Pro (either with ME or the in-app export in PP) through Handbreak in order to reduce them to a size that's more conducive to the Internet.  I know you can reduce bit rates and such, but it would be a better workflow to have a "Handbrake-like" option within Media Encoder (and Premier Pro).  If they can do it, why can't Adobe?

Hello friends, I use the media encoder daily and very frequently. We exported several sequences from the premiere in queue and the suggestion is that it would be possible to add a feature to save the queue and its settings such as format, preset and output file. Because a single project is used for each client with multiple sequences in it, we render the sequences in different formats for different outputs, and this feature would be very nice. Every time the queue completes and we reopen the Media Encoder it is necessary to import the project and select the sequentially define the format of each one, preset and output. Thanks in advance! 

I would like to be able to have Adobe Media Encoder put the temporary files during encoding in a specific directory, and the final result in another. (In my case I render into my Google Drive folder, but it keeps syncing the temp files too with no way to disable that). Perhaps one way it could be implemented that others might find useful is to add a "local directory" option to the preset publish tab. There's already one for "Adobe Creative Cloud" that even references a local folder, so perhaps you could add an option that lets you choose an arbitrary location? I have to imagine this ability would be useful in general, such as for people who may want to back up a copy to NAS drives or something. Perhaps you could even allow a list of directories to which copies of the file will be sent.

Premier pro and 3rd party applications like capcut have where you can adjust the lighting. I want to be able to adjust lighting in multiple clips. Right now the only thing close is tone mapping and sdr conform. Are there any other features you can provide that can enhance the lighting adjustments?

The encoder looks very good when I did a test encode to BluRay and was fast!  There really needs to be a way to enter time code based chapter points to be taken more seriously.  i.e. if you have a movie file that starts at time code 01:00:00:00 > 02:00:00:00 and you need a specifi frame at 01:03:07:11, for example, there should be a way to enter that time code into a list and have the software force an i-frame on the specifi time code frame so that authoring software can place a legitimate chapter point at that frame.  Thanks!

Rendering with Davinci Resolve is a dream land for me... the same project renders in Davinci at least 5X the speed of ANY Adobe app and that's sad, cause I don't like using Resolve at all!

Hi,  Will it ever be possible to natively watch or deliver from Media Encoder to an AWS S3 bucket without the need for an additional 3rd party application.(This would so super useful and as great as the ability to output an srt stream from Premiere Pro which I was told in back in 2020 by Adobe would never happen and has just dropped in the October 23 release, soooo happy about that!)

I haven't seen this pop up, but it would be extremely helpful to be able to shift or control click the downward pointing arrow and have it close or collapse all of the open windows. Currently, I have to close them one at a time, and when batch exporting many files, its a total mess and takes some time to close everything. I've been looking for this simple, yet really important update for years. I keep thinking its such a no-brainer that it would have been implemented by now.  Also, the ability to create a second que would help keep things organized nicely. Currently your compeditor EditReady has the ability to add additional windows/ques and its incredible. Thank you.Dan     

When converting a mp4 file to a mpeg2-dvd file for playing on a dvd player using Media Encoder, the dvd player would not recognize any playable material on the disc. Apparently Adobe no longer supports the ability to burn a dvd that is playable on a dvd player that connects to a tv. For a company marketing and selling video editing software, I think they should offer the ability to make a video playable on a dvd player.
