Hi to you all!I have a problem with Adobe Media Encoder.When I render a project form After Effect in Media Encoder the video resulting is very bad and low quality, despite the profile I choose. The same project rendered in AFterEffect in MOv. is very good. MOreover, if I tak the MOV file and rirender in Adobe Media Encoder the quality is very good. The problem exist only when I render direclty form After Effects in Media Encoder. Regards!

Hi,We're relaitvely new to media encoding but have got a presentation to prep. We thought by using AWS and some powerful Nvidia cards we'd be able to speed up encoding, but it is still taking a very long time.System specs are as followsProcessor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2686 v4 @ 2.3GHzRam : 244GBDisplay drivers : 2x Nvidia Tesla M60'sAfter looking at the system requirements I don't think the CPU or the GPUs are supported for hardware encoding. We've got the Renderer using GPU acceleration (CUDA) as the option, but it's very difficult to figure out of the GPUs are actually being used.Has anyone had any success with AWS encoding?Thanks in advance.

But, when my new Mac mini arrived, I started wondering about whether I could use this for media compression over the network.

I've been looking around for a long time and I can't find any solution to this problem.I'm making a video in After Effects CC 2019, it works good in After Effects (I can watch it without problem), but when it comes to the exporting process, in Media Encoder CC 2019, after rendering it in H.264, the parts of the video that have the adjustment layer on top look solid color white, I can hear the audio, but looks like the adjustment layer is a solid color and I can't see the video under it. However, the parts without the adjustment layer work well.Maybe I did something wrong, one screenshot of the compostion:Ask me more photos or questions if you need more information.Thanks

Adobe Media Encoder takes forever to transcode 4K H265 60fps X-T3 footage to ProRes 422 HQ or even creating 1280 x 720 ProRes 422 proxies. Up to 20 times more than ffmpeg: what ffmpeg transcoded in 1hr or so, AME shows 21 hours estimated.At this moment it's unusable for me and it gravely affects my ongoing projects.All GPU drivers are up to date, removed and fresh installed. Same with AME. Performance monitoring while transcoding shows something like this: System specs are (Asus Strix GL704GW):Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2208 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)32 GB RAMNVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070Windows 10 64-bitLately I've been seeing multiple reports of AME's slow performance after the latest updates. I've tried some suggested fixes or workarounds, unfortunately none of them worked.Is there an official response from Adobe regarding this issue? Has anyone maybe come close to a solution or workaround?Thank you.

Hey all, this is my first post on the forums, since this is the first issue I've been unable to solve on my own. Before the CC 2017 update, I was able to render h.264 pretty flawlessly, but ever since that update (I have 2018 now), h.264 has given me nothing but headache. I can render in some losslesss formats like AVI, but never a compressed format. En always crashes. Here's the log that was created post crash. Let me know if you need any other info, thanks!Adobe Media Encoder Log.txtLog file created: 11/14/2017 6:33:35 PM-----------------------------------------Ticks = 438      <21052> <DynamicLink> <5> Attempting to launch dynamiclinkmanagerTicks = 438      <21052> <DynamicLink> <5> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC 2018\32\dynamiclinkmanager.exeTicks = 438      <21052> <DynamicLink> <5> Increase wait time to 2Ticks = 688   &nbsp

This has just started happening and I cannot seem to find anything regarding this issue in the forums.This is the error code that appears after AME crashes:[/ame13.1/releases/shared/adobe/MediaCore/MediaLayer/VideoRenderer/Src/CutlistRenderer.cpp-839]I am using a trash can MacPro with the most current Mojave OS.Thanks.Chris

Hi,Every time I export a Premiere Pro project using encoder my Macbook stop charging and the battery start to drain!Please check the video: "I hid my project as it's work related and I'm not allowed to share it publicly Encoder is usually using between 300% to 400% of my CPU and I don't run or keep any program running in the background while encoding.Nothing crazy about my project though, just exporting 720p H264 video from a 1080p H264 and burning the captions in the video.Here is my Macbook specs:I'm also using the latest Adobe CC products:Anybody has the same issue?

When queuing a project from After Effects or Premiere Pro, the project loads into the Media Encoder just fine and starts fine. However, it doesn't encode at all. There is no error, but the task manager shows no activity from the encoder and the time remaining just steadily increases forever until I give up and close the encoder. Exporting directly from Premiere works fine, but it would be nice to use the encoder. Things I have done to try to fix the problem:restarting everythingreinstalling creative cloud, premiere pro, and the media encoder numerous timesrolling back to previous updatesinstalling new graphics driverschanging to software only encodingTitle was edited by: Mod

CC keeps asking if I would like to remove notifications, alerts, interface settings and other preferences? I have the two options of 'No, keep app preferences' and 'Yes, remove app preferences' Regardless of how I answer it keeps popping up and asking the same question over and over again.I've tried to quit the program, even ending the task in the task manager. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello, i need to export to Dropbox from AME is there any chance to happen that. Please help on this

I'm trying to export a Character Animator scene as a video with an alpha channel via AME, however the progress bar always stops around halfway through. The elapsed time stops moving, and no amount of waiting helps. I read about people having similar problems, however those always involved Premiere / AE and some funny business with sequences, which doesn't help my Character Animator issue. I'm not going to change the AME encoding settings (QuickTime format with the GoPro CineForm RGB 12-bit with alpha preset) because I need the transparent background.Is there something I can do to fix this?

I am currently using Premiere Pro CC 17 so I can't use the latest version of the media encoder (the one I have installed right now).  Is there a way to download a previous version that will work with my version of Premiere? Thanks.

Media Encoder Version - 13.1Premiere Pro Version - 13.1.2OS - Mac OSX 10.14.4Mac Specs - iMac Pro (2017) -  3.2 GHz Intel Xeon W; 64GB DDR4 2666 MHz; Vega 64 GPU w/ 16gb VRAMI am currently having issues exporting H264 after importing a sequence from PrPro. The video will playback fine, until later in the render the audio will "repeat" a small portion from earlier, replacing any existing audio, then go back to normal.The only solution I have so far is export from PrPro, but obviously, this is a waste of time when I have other videos to complete.Things I have tried:Uninstalling and reinstalling AME and PrPro several times.Updating my computer's OS.Making new sequences and exporting those. Same result.Any help would be great.

I have the same problem,  but mine isn't exporting. Its from a dynamic link between Ae and Prem proI don't know what to do either.Title was edited by: Moderator

Hi,I have had this problem before but then it just solved itself.But now I can´t send a render to media encoder using AE 2018 and Mediaencoder 2019.This error windows turn up. Anyone know how to solve that.I could performe the render by adding the AE comp from within MediaEncoder though.best regardsMattias

I'd like to output two .mp4 videos, one with RGB and the other with alpha, from an EXR sequence. How is that done in Adobe Media Encoder?(As a followup, is it possible to select any alternate planes of the EXR such as depth or object ID?)

I need a video I made in After Effect cc 2018 in H.264, so the only way to render is with Media Encoder cc2018 because After no longer has the Format for some reason in the cc version. When I render my video in Media Encoder the result doesn't has the motion blur.Why Adobe Media Encoder? and How can i solve this?

Recently I fell back in love with Adobe Media Encoder. Everything seemed to be working as promised, from the dynamic link server, to the multiple exports, even the gpu acceleration.BUT...In the past week or 2 and most recently since this latest update, Media Encoder seems to have fallen back into its bad habits. What is going on with AME!? Anything processor heavy seems to be tripping it up, and it keeps telling me its encoding when it has clearly stopped working. This AME freeze not only ruins my productivity, but makes it impossible to plan for render times. Causing me to have to do a full restart on my machine to get AE and AME back on the same page. I have seen it "freeze" trying to read the xmp profile, during the dynamic link process, and during any processor heavy moments. This "freeze" doesnt make AME stop working totally, it just makes it stop doing what I told it to do. The render bar remains but the elapsed time and time remaining freezes, and the only way to fix it is to do

When importing .mov clip (approx. 60 min long), it only imports the first 9 seconds of import.No error messages are displayed.Are there certain settings that need to be changed?

format is H.264 with an mp4 outputIs there something I am missing? I have always heard that you can lower the file size of a video by changing its aspect ratio. When I lower it I can see it obviously makes it lower quality but the "estimated file size" and final file size remains the same. I have also tried changing the width AND height of the frame and the size of the file isnt changing. The only thing I can tell that is changing the file size is the bit rate. Why isn't the aspect ratio effecting it?Thanks

As Per My attached Image I an facing the error while I render through Media Encoder. at the end of Rendering suddenly After effect open this pop-up" After Effects Has encountered an error"[..\..\processcoordination\LocalServer.cpp-178]I don't even understand what is wrong with this rendering. I render many times in a many way but still, I have the problem.anyone is there who can fix this or give me a path to walkI am using After Effects cc2014 and media encoder cc2014The title was edited by: Moderator

Hello,When I try to render to an H264 file using a target bitrate of 18MBPS, the file renders out to around 5mbps automatically. I tried CBR and VBR as well and kept changing render settings, but every time Media Encoder automatically lowers the bitrate on the final output. Is this a new feature with 2018? Is it because the video does not need that high of a bitrate? I also just tried the Vimeo 1080p preset, and it still renders out to a bitrate of around 5mbps, instead of 16mbps.Thank you

When I queue renders from AE or PremPro the output path seems to be stuck on a path and filename that doesnt even reflect the AE filename I'm using, and it doesnt remember the last file path I used.I know I've set this up in the past to go where I want, either in the Preset (no options for file path as far as I can tell) or somewhere else in the Render Queue process. Wasting so much time retyping names every time I render and choosing paths…

I updated the software today and now I get a black screen when exporting video from Premiere Pro to the new April 2019 Media Encoder. Nothing happens except for a black screen on the Media Encoder app.It was working fine before?!?
