If I were able to import and encode more audio formats and encode them to MP3 or WAV it would really speed up the workflow instead of having to rely on Audiotn for any sort of audio relatied thing. Shouldn't the supported audio formats in Audition also be in Media Encoder?

As I rarely use dynamic link because of numerous past bugs breaking it constantly, I was wondering why we can't drag and drop video files onto the Media Encoder app in the Mac dock and have it launch the app or add the items to the queue? Seems like a natural motion for this app to accomplish?

@Fergus H  @R Neil Haugen  This is a repost of something I put on the Premiere forum. I feel like this forum gets even less traffic / respones from Adobe but nevertheless here we go:  ....One of my main gripes with AME is the mystery box of why Media Encoder works fine sometimes and other times it fails.I've have the following issues on an ongoing basis over the last 10 years of trying to use AME: encodes the file incorrectly with either:offline mediabroken fx licencing wrong AE comp being renderedweird audio sync glitches captions refusing to burn ingpu errorsEncodes a a much slower rate, which makes no sense if it is the same exact encoding engine. stops mid-encode etc.  Media Encoder has a funny setting where you can either: "encode sequences natively" Or use the PrProHeadless option which usually means a slower and longer project load as it loads full premiere in the BG minus the GUI. However, I usually have less

Requesting that Media Encoder be able to convert from and to the GXF format. This is a format used heavily in the media industry, specifically the broadcast industry, as the company "Grass Valley" leverages this as their native format. 

Sometimes we just need the text transcription of a clip. Is much easier opening Media Encoder, drag a clip, transcript and export as a text than opening Premiere create a project, create a sequence, transcript and export it as a text.

Some of the file conversion software I use have a small folder icon next to the file export info, where once your file finishes encoding, you can click that folder icon and it'll take you right to where your file just exported.  For people that have a lot of projects going at once and tons of folders and subfolders on their project drives, that's often a big time saver.  Or, when you accidentally export it to some default folder and then need to find the file...  Avoids having to go and navigate a bunch of subfolders once a file finishes exporting.  I'd add is as a column to the right of "Status".

I often use Media Encoder to cut down videos. Unfortunately though, because you can't play videos from inside Media Encoder, I often have to take them into Premiere first to ensure I've set the right in point. Media Encoder should have the option to play video files.

A lot of us work with ProRes RAW footage. It would be great if we could change the source settings of a large selection of clips and change their colorspace if they all match the same format. I always need to go in 1 by 1 and change them and is very time consuming

It's 2023.  Can we please get more social media presets for export than simply Facebook, Twitter (now X, that needs to be changed), YouTube, and Vimeo?  How about Instagram?  Tik Tok?  Etc?

I made the update from 23.2 to 23.6 and scrolling through settings is insanely slow now. It's not lagging or any sort of performance issue, it's just super slow to scroll through the settings. I just want to change settings fast and not train my scrolling finger 😄 Please change it back to the original scrolling speed.

A great way to help improve the application is by being able to batch edit the in/out point in the export settings window. You're able to batch edit the output file destination, you're able to batch edit the export settings themselves (format, preset, video/audio settings etc.) but for some reason when you try to batch edit the in/out point for various files at a time, only 1 file will change accordingly. I say we should keep it consistant. I've attached a screenshot of the export setting window I'm referring too. 

Windows users with Trend Micro Maximum Security repeatedly reported startup crashes that have been massively impacting AE and AME. We have managed to find a contact there, report the issue, and have now tested a fix they have pushed live into production.Their users should receive this as an auto-update.Any user hitting a Win startup crash in AE/AME should still verify if he user has TM Maximum Security installed, and if so, then instruct the user to:1, Open the application.2. Go to the hamburger-ish dropdown menu in the upper right and select "About This Software".3. This will initiate an update check.4. If the software updates, see if the crash on launch is resolved subsequently.5. If it is fully up to date, the crash is likely being caused by something else.Hope this helps.

I think it would be cool to have a creative app to go live, Adding this feauture to Me would be amazing I hope to see somthing there for us all so we can use this to go live on all our sites.

Hi,YouTube contains a lot of tutorials, where they are advised to interpret the interlaced video, and then encode it as a progressive one. Obviously, this deep misconception exists, since the ME does not contain any filter for deinterlacing. It is possible to add it long ago or allow the use of installed filters for the Premiere and AE in the encoder.Thanks

Media Encoder stopped an export two hours into rendering it because I installed a completely unrelated font. I was doing some graphic design work while letting media encoder do a final render of a video project, and then it just... stopped the encoding because I installed a font? This is ridiculous behavior - ME should give me the choice to let the render continue, because I didn't do any changes to the fonts that are actually used in the premiere project.This just wasted two hours of render time for absolutely no reason. This garbage would be fine if it weren't so expensive.

Is it possible to purchase or subscribe to AME as a stand alone app?

Sometimes there is a need to merge multiple consecutive videos using MEFor example.20230620-110102.mp420230620-110402.mp420230620-110702.mp4is the file name of a time-sorted video series.If you drag and drop into ME Merge directly from the Win10 File Explorer, the sorting will become20230620-110702.mp420230620-110102.mp420230620-110402.mp4At the end of the day, the sorting goes to the top.However, this does not happen if you drag and drop from ME's own file manager.I would like to add a function to change the sorting of files in the list of merged files.(auto order by file name,file time,ect.)

When using the Publish to Vimeo option, I get a resulting link that includes a colon rather than a slash (":" rather than "/"). See the screen shot attached. I'm blurring out a few numbers so that my video remains private.Example of the error: https://vimeo.com/755555555:1ababababIf it matters, I'm signing in to a Vimeo + account, the privacy setting in the Media Encoder "Export Settings" window "Publish" tab is "Viewable by:" "Only Me". I posted this issue before, but wasn't able to respond to customer service quickly enough so it must've been deleted. Thanks for fixing this!

Start Frame number: When rendering an image sequence in AME, I need the option to control start frame number - as I have in AE. So that I can correct certain frames, and render them directly into my existing sequence.

It would be helpful to have some way of seeing what the render time was for a completed item in the queue, as this helps with planning future renders.

Is it possible to get a "match source" default for the audio channels similar to the aspect ratio/resolution of the picture?  It's easy enough to change but its also easy enough to miss when using media encoder to transcode a massive amount of files as deliverables.  It could be pretty useful.  

There is no way to upload directly from Media Encoder to SFPT. We have a huge amount of clips which we have to send to our clients and we always have to go trough third party upload software, because there is just a FTP option in media encoder. This is a stupid waste of time. Please Adobe, enable SFTP upload possibility in Media Encoder!

Hi there.I know, there are several option for punlishing a video (Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo etc).I think one good idea, would be to publish/upload the exported video to wetransfer.Yes, Wetransfer allows only 2gb of upload for free acounts. But some of us, use a proffesinal subscription with bigger size of transferred files. 

Adobe should add AV1 and VP9/WebM encode settings to media encoder.

I've been wanting this feature for years now; when I'm using ME to encode dailies for my clients, I'd love to have the option to choose which audio channels are included in the output.  When I'm rolling 4 channels of audio on my camera and they're all included in the daily, the resulting audio is hot and clipped and noisy.  I'd love to be able to just include channel 1 in the compression.  Is this somehow possible?
