Questions

For isolation purposes i created a simple After Effects animation using the wiggle position preset.Rendered lossless via After Effects CC2019 Renderer:And rendered via Adobe Media Encoder CC2019 (H.264 - 50Mbit/s - whole composition):Any suggestions? It's kinda important scince i have many ongoing projects i need to render in H.264 and they have too many presets to change it all manually.I asked the same question in the After Effects Forum:Re: PRESETS PROBLEM

I am encoding Quicktime Source files from my Avid Media Composer. And at least once a day, if I encode something in AME in the background, after it starts a file, about 5 or 10seconds of encoding..suddenly...BAM! Black screens and a full restart. It is a pretty rare problem where an application takes the system down. So I find it quite alarming.Funny thing is after it crashes, it will encode.It seems to be a combo of Avid MC and AME running at  the same time.But only crashes some of the time.Mac Pro 2012 (Westmere)96gigs RAMNVIDIA CardHigh SierraLatest AME software (totally up to date as of today)

when exporting a project from Ae to Me, when saved as a gif it gets grainy, how to fix?

I have a large batch of .R3D footage from my Red Scarlet - W that I need to convert over to ProRes 422 HQ. Media Encoder isn't reading the source fps in the .R3D file. I click the Match Source button in the Basic Video Settings but it always coverts them to 23.976 even though some are 59.94. I have to go in manually look up the frame rate and manually set them in Media Encoder Frame Rate drop down.

Hey I recently Joined Adobe After Effects ive already known how to use it and everything else but one app that annoys me so much is media encoder. I simply cant be patient anymore. Everytime i try to render a project it starts rendering like nothings wrong but later come to find out, It Failed this is the error logRender ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\F:\Uploads\Bhad Bestie.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00:00:05:19 - 00:00:05:36Rendering at offset: 5.200 secondsComponent: H.264 of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: -1609629695------------------------------------------------------------ - Encoding Time: 00:02:5502/06/2019 07:19:05 AM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\F:\Uploads\kl.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00:00:05:19 - 00:00:05:36Rendering at offset: 5.2

I've got a simple color correction and a LUT on a few clips. Wanted to batch export them through Media Encoder (ME) from Premiere. But after the clips queued and I go and open one in ME, just to check on it, the Lumetri effects don't show in ME. I tried doing an batch export through ME regardless and they did not export either.  How do I batch export in ME with Lumetri?Thanks,

Hello!I'm currently using Encoder to export MP4s with BITC and clip name for transcribing purposes.The interviews are being shot on a C300 camera in .MXF format, so the clips are composed of multiple spanned .MXFs every 5 minutes or so.When I highlight the .MXFs that make up a single clip (and therefore have unbroken timecodes) and stitch them together, I notice that all the start TC is 00:00:00:00.I've been manually typing in the new TC, but is there a way to retain the start TC of the first clip to avoid this step and inevitable human error in hand-typing the timecode?Thank you!

Kennt wer das Problem? Beim Einblenden eines TimeCodes wird dieser nicht als Zahlen sondern als Quadrate dargestellt. Erinnert irgendwie am "Windings" ..Does anyone know this problem? When burning in a timecode, it will not be displayed as numbers but as squares. Somehow reminds me of "Windings" ..Working on Premiere Pro CC 2019 on OS X 10.12.6

Hi, I really hope that someone can help me find the answer to this as it is driving me crazy now! So after creating videos in After Effects, I would usually add to the Adobe Media Encoder Queue.. for some reason when I do this to composition doesn't appear in the ME queue. I have tried to add it manually but get an error that ME cannot connect to the dynamic link server. So I am having to render my videos in After Effects and then convert to mp4s which makes it a really long process. I have googled it many times to try and find an answer and I have already tried the following:- try installing a previous version of ME - check for firewalls- Check startup settings If anybody has any other suggestions and can help me solve this I will be eternally grateful to you! Thanks.

For a start I will tell you what I would like to achieve because maybe there is a better way to do it - I would like to render a sort of "music video" in parts (over the course of few nights) rather than in one go over few days and few nights, as I need computer during daytime.So I thought the way to do it is to render separate sections and then stitch them together with AME. As far as I understand, using "Match Source (Rewrap)" setting (when stitching clips) will not do any transcoding but literally only stitch the clips together so there will be no quality loss right?But the problem is that when I stitch the clips together I can hear an audible click in an audio track which means that stitching is not sample accurate on an audio level. In a test I did now my stitches were as precise as possible on video level - if one clip had frames from 1 to 1000, second clip had frames from 1001 to 2000 etc.If I try to put my clips together on Premiere Pro timeline and use one continuous audio tra

Hi Everyone!I haven't been able to find an answer in the forums, but it could be my poor search skills.We're looking for a way to feed a single 2 Hour video in to AME and have specific timecodes clipped out and exported.  Essentially, the file is a line cut which needs to be separated in to individual acts of the show, eliminating commercial black.Since we are creating a Cue Sheet and Cut list, the start and end Timecodes are already being notated. Ideally, these ins/outs could be fed to AME in the correct manner to batch output these subclips with a specific encode preset.Is AME at all capable of this?  Perhaps through a command-line?Thanks!

Hi Adobe forums,I'm trying to re-encode a star wars movie as H.265 from H.264 and it's taken over 30 (!!) hours to re-encode. I'm going from one RAMDisk to another to try and remove any storage bottlenecks. Settings: 1080p, VBR 1-pass, 1.2mbps target/10mbps max, quality higher, tier main.My system is as follows: Dual Xeon E5-2667 V2's @3.6GHZ96GB RAM (with 2 12GB RAMdisks for in/out)Geforce GT610 (I know this needs to be upgraded)Media Encoder NEVER gets above 30% usage, and my CPU never goes above 2GHz with around 2.5GB RAM used by encoder. I have around 60GB free RAM right now, and my adobe suite is set to leave 20GB for other programs. I have NO idea what is going on, but this is a problem.Best, Ryan

The new Interactive Advertising Bureau ready-to-serve delivery spec (& YouTube) require "faststart" historically referred to as "web optimised" or "streaming enabled" or similar. This includes placing the moov atom at the start of the file instead of the end so the file will start playing straight away instead of waiting until it's fully downloaded / buffered - which can be a big advantage for viewers if it's a longer or larger file or if they have low bandwidth. They can watch the video while it's buffering.Adobe Media Encoder (and most other modern software, certainly on OSX) no longer let the user control this option. QT7 Pro & Compressor were the last major apps I know of that let you select this, however they are very old now.In everything I've read people suggest AME places the MOOV atom at the end of the file by default. However when viewing the metadata of H264 MP4s encoded with AME, the MOOV atom appears immediately under the Atom ftyp line in the hierarchy tree i.e. i

I'm trying to copy 3 files from 3 different USB CARD READERS on my system.AME gives me the option to have a watch folder to watch so when I'm launching AME it automatically renders this watch folder(s) files into an output folder(s).What I would like to have is an option to select secondary option to copy the source file too,I always work in premiere with my source file in designated folder with another folder for my proxy file.C:\Films\Source File.MOV\C:\Films\Source File\ProxyFolder\ProxyFile.MP4Can this be done in AME? to have it copy the source and also make a proxy file of it next to the source folder?Also I do not like that AME copies my SOURCE FILE.MOV to another "Source" folder on my SDCARD. I'd like to sustain file hierarchy. Can this be tweaked in AME?Thanks,Ofer.At the end of the video you can see AME moves the Source file to an other FOLDER , I do** not want it with my files and how do I stop it from moving my files to another folder?

I know I don't have the best specs for video editing...Dell Inspiron 5737 (laptop) Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.30 GHzIntel HD Graphics8.00GB RAMWindows 8.1... But surely a 5 min video that I'm rendering for YouTube should not take 24 hours to render? I've searched far and wide throughout the Internet for ways of faster rendering but nearly all of the tips include "upgrade RAM" or "upgrade processor' which at this moment in time I can't do. There must be some way of making this faster with what I've got? Please help.

I finished up a project in after effects and sent it to media encoder to save as h.264. After it was done i clicked the file to watch it and it’s a 3:00 long black video and no audio. I’ve tried different setrings (QuickTime etc) I’ve tried creating new projects, deleting cache, resetting preferences, uninstall and reinstalling, adding a solid layer under everything and nothing works. If I save the project as QuickTime directly from AE it works though. Also while rendering in AME I can see the video and effects in the preview box. The only other trick I’ve come across is to dl a older version but I can’t find an option to do so!

It's listing a bunch, but I need to crop a video for some stupid web div that's 21:9. There's no editing other than this. I don't really want to create a project in Premiere Just to crop. So I'm doing it in AME. No problem. Wait, I have to bust out Math? No problem, but since it's an odd ratio, and I'm compressing the Hell out of it to get it down to about 1-2MB, It's ok that I'm doing something like 1620x694, or even smaller, rather than keeping it full 1920 width. I'd love to just put in a ratio, grab one corner, put it where I think I might want to crop to, then just drag the other one. But right now, I have to get it kind of close, do a little cross multiply and divide to get my size, but...rather than showing you the Size of your rectangle, haha, AME shows you how much you're cropping. You can see the size if you hover your mouse, but you can only adjust how much it's cropped from the top and bottom and sides. Sooo useful. So if you're the type that, rather than answering my first

Hi all !Below are two lists of codecs in 2019 (1)  and 2017 (2) Media Encoder versions. Same Mac (Mojave), same user. Why such a dramatic difference?How to import  all codecs from ME 2017 into ME 2019?1.2.

I'm using Media Encoder to decrease file sizes. I feel like my software is up to date but many codecs that are listed on Adobe's support page are giving me "the source compression type is not supported" errors. Where do I go to add more codecs?EDIT: I should add a couple things:1) When I go to Media Encoder/ Help/ Updates, Creative Cloud tells me Media Encoder and Premiere Pro are up to date2) I've tried adding codecs from Adobe's download page (Adobe - Adobe Media Encoder : For Windows ) but was told the download failed because all the content is already present.

After months of successful use of Premiere and Media Encoder, Media Encoder stopped launching for me, and instead reported "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)..."  I realize Adobe doesn't want to support Windows 7 starting with its 2019 version, but I'm still running the 2018 versions; surely someone has found a fix for this.I tried moving forward & back revisions and found I could re-install Media Encoder 2017 successfully, but it can't be launched automatically from the Premiere 2018 version that I'm now stuck with for my current projects.  In an attempt to really kill the problem dead and get both on 2018, I reset my Windows machine to factory defaults and re-installed just the basic programs today, including a web browser, Adobe Creative Cloud, Premiere, and Media Encoder.  ME 2018 still fails to launch with the same error message, both with ME 12.1.1 and 12.1.2.Premiere has complained in the past about the nVidia card and drivers, but I h

I use Production Premium cs6. I can export from Premire Pro, but now, if I choose to queue my exports and then attempt to encode the batch in Media Encoder, all the exports fail. When I check the AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt file, it states 'Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted' which is nonsense since I can export the same sequence by using 'Export' in PPro rather than 'Queue'.Can anyone help?Thanks in advance!

What does the error code actually mean.Yeah, I could go and alter something in my timeline at that point, even though the same scene rendered 3 times without the error.I more want to know what this code is. Like if you get an error code from Microsoft, you can look it up and see what it is. So what does this one mean? I search for it and all I see is people doing random changes to get a "fix" vs. knowing what the issue really is and fixing that.

Hey!I have a quite big problem with using AME to create proxies in my project. Since the last version update, AME is slow on making proxies and almost every time stops working in like 20-30 minutes of renderding. I have projects that has like 500+ files (4K, 1080, some even bigger) and playing it back via online files in Premiere is pain. proxy is the solution but AME is slow and crashes, only solution atm is to literally keep an eye on proxy making process, what is wasting my precious time as an editor.In previous version I could queue all jobs and come back morning to see that everything is done. Now i am not able to do this anymore, since usuallly i see that around 10% is done and everything has stopped working. I've even had some projects to corrupt thanks to this.So my question is. Is it possbile to get this problem fixed? Is there a workaround with making proxies? I tried to use ffmpeg program on CLI to make proxies but i was not able to get those files to link with original file
