Hi,Since updating to Media Encoder 23.5 I'm having trouble connecting to Dynamic Link server.I tried everything I could find in this community but nothing seems to solve the issue.Uninstalling and downgrading ME and AE, resetting and deleting cache and preference files, checking and unchecking different settings in AE... I'm running ME 23.6 right now on an Apple iMac running macOS Venturea 13.5.1I also have to manually drop my comps into ME for them to show up in the list.Using 'File > Export > Export To Media Encoder Queue' doesn't do anything. Same for the workaround by adding the composition to AE Render Queue and clicking 'Queue in AME'.I didn't have these issues before 23.5 but downgrading to 23.4 doesn't help either.Hope someone has a solution here...

I have 1000s of video files with stereo-audio.Now I need to merge each of these files with a new wav-file with 5.1 surround-audio track. These files have same name as the original file with an extension.Output should be the original video file with stereo-audio (audio channel 1-2) + 5.1 surround (audio channel 3-8).Is it possible to batch this workflow in Adobe Media Encoder? As an alternative, I will need to transcode the original files with stereo-audio to files with 8 channel audio where the original stereo-audio will be mapped to audio channel 1-2. The empty channels 3-8 will be filled out by the software which create the new 5.1 surround mix.

Hello, Premiere ExtendScript API has an API to use AME to render a sequence from a project - app.encoder.encodeFile(filePath, outputPath, presetPath, workArea, removeUponCompletion).As its fourth parameter, it takes a "workArea" which can be ENCODE_IN_TO_OUT, meaning the AME should render the part that is between the in and out points set on the sequence in the Premiere project. This in and out point of the sequence is also automatically honoured when dropping the prproj file to a watch folder that AME is configured to watch. Now I am looking for a similar option in the AME ExtendScript API - app.getExporter().exportItem(source, destination, preset).But I could not find it. As a result, the sequence in my prproj file is being rendered in full instead of only the part between in and out points.I noticed a different method (exportSequence) which accepts leadingFramesToTrim/trailingFramesToTrim but it does not look like there is any easy way to get those frame numbers from

Hello!I am having an issue with one of my videos not rendering correctly. For instance in Preimer Pro it looks fine:Then when it starts to render and completes:I am not sure what is going on. The original recorded video is just fine from what I can tell. Same scene from the unedited video. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no clue how to fix this. Further more the clips I add for the opening and closing render just fine, so its narrowed down to just the edited video part...I hope I am making sense. Anyways thanks for the help in advance. 

I cannot export my AE composition straight to AME; AME will open but my comp won't be there. I can, however, add my comp to the AE render queue and then send it to the AME render queue from there, and it shows up, but when I try to render it in AME or adjust render settings it pops up as a Dynamic Link Server Connection failure and then it tells me "Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again."  I have the 2020 AE and AME; and funnily enough what does work is rendering it in AE into a .mov, then uploading that .mov into the AME queue from AME, then it'll render and go into an .mp4. However, making it a .mov takes away some quality and so I'd like to avoid that if possible! Any help would be appreciated; I've already tried the instructions from most tutorial posts on here and they don't work! 😞

Adobe Media encoder plugin is missing in After Effects. How do you install the plugin?

Hi!In third-party application's documentation i found next sentences :"Starting with AME 11.1.2.35, the Adobe Media Encoder can be installed as a Windows Service. This service should be running at all times on the central AME machine. See Adobe documentation on how to install Adobe Media Encoder as a Windows service."But i couldn't find any information about it.How i can do it ?

When encoding, my Media Encoder 2024.0.3 regularly gets stuck between 90-100% when rendering - just never continues or closes off the file. I have experienced the same problem with earlier versions of ME as well.If I press "Stop Queue", right-click the job and select "Reset Status", it usually renders the file completely. It just seems totally arbitrary and a bit annoying, specially when rendering an entire list of compositions and it get stuck on one of the first. Anyone with the same problems? System: Intel i9 13900, 64 GB memory, nVidia Quadro A2000, fully updated Windows 11, display drivers and Adobe-programs and 500 GB free SDD-space at primary drive and 800 on my project drive.

My question is, does Media Encoder not support expresion controls>point control for MOGRT (created with aftereffects)? Or is it a bug? MOGRT created in aftereffects 2024 and used in Premiere Pro 2024.It resets when rendering with Media Encoder. [Information to be reset]Position information linked to point control No problem when rendering in Premiere Pro.

I am have some serious issues with AME 2020. Right now, it wont even launch as the error message it gives is cannot create folder  /users/.../documents/adobe/adobe media encoder/14.0/presets If I go to that folder and manually put in a folder called Presets - will launch  - however, I cannot open the edit>preferences in AME nor can I import a file as the error code on that reads 'File import error the file could not be imported Could not read from source.' I can, however, take that exact file in PP and export it to Queue and it will open in AME - but, I get a warning in AME that 'offline media is detected and will be encoded with the offline media graphic' I have tried to uninstall AME and re-install,. un-install and reinstall both PP and AME still same issueto further trouble shoot, I have my 'old' C drive still in the puter after putting in a SSD months ago (all works fine up untill a couple days ago) but I can launch AME 2019 on what is now the D drive and the

As the title said, Media Encoder exports and produce that kind of green/yellow scene. However, it exports extremely fine in Premiere Pro. How do I fix this because I rely a lot for Media Encoder? 

Hi,I would like to point out an incorrect behavior of some Creative Cloud programs, which create an Adobe folder and subfolders in “My documents” folder on PC.I think this should be avoided, as My documents folder is a private area, in which no program should store any data. It poses for instance problems in the synchronization using other tools (such as Synology).On Windows platform (I don’t know about Mac OS) there are specific folders created by the OS (C:\User Name\AppData\Local and C:\User Name\AppData\Roaming) where programs can store their own information. And by the way this is done by most Adobe programs.So, please change the features of the corresponding programs (Premiere Pro, Audition, etc.) and stop the generation of these folders.Thank you,Pascal

Seeking to export a Video Timeline clip prepared in Photoshop 2022 23.4.1 into a MP4 video clipDocument is 2160 x 3840 px ( W x H ) >> 4K video in vertical format, 9:16 aspect ratioAttempting to use Adobe Media Encoder but getting an error to the effect that the maximum vertical size is 2304 px, per below attached screenshots. Seems it would be able to handle this if it were horizontal instead of vertical, ie 3840 x 2160 px works, but not 2160 x 3840 px  Any other way I can export this to a vertical 4K mp4 video? or any other workaround? thank you in advance

Hi, I'm completeing a Video that was done on CS4 Premiere Pro and being encoded via Adobe Media Encoder (the corresponding version).Long story short, I have to complete it on THAT Computer (with Windows 7, that has that specific Adobe software).  (All futurre Videos are going to be on newer software and computer). My questions are (as I Really need the help Please): 1.  Does that system (CS4) allow the ratio to be 9:16 (for Cell phones of today)? 2.  If so, where/how? 3.  If not, I had been using a "Custom" Preset (at the top) for "NTSC DV High Quality" with H.264 using 4:3 (720 x 480) and now I need to convert it for YouTube, TikTok (and cellphones vertically).  How would I do this please? 4.  I saw that "square pixels" is an option.  Is this 1:1 (does it mean 1:1, for TikTok)? 5.  I also saw that (at the top, under Presets) there is "HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality" or "HDTV 1080p 25 High Quality" (presets) that I'

I am running Mac Pro 2019 Ventura 13.5.2Premiere Pro 24.0.3 (Build 2)Media Encoder 24.0.3 (Build 2) So we have the same versions running. That answers that question When I send a sequence to export to ME it no longer encodes  but it says it's Encoding. When I go to "stop" it tells me that it is Encoding do I want to strop it? In the very recent past like before it updated version I was able to encode multiple sequences.I have no problem encoding a single sequence from within Premiere Pro itself. Often what ME does is says it's conecting to "Dynamic Link" "This may take a few minutes"But it never really connects. I attach a screen grab. I get no encode preview, although show preview is checked in settings. All was fine a version ago.....Thank you,Greg    

I want to add filename to a series of videos, but when using text overlay, it doesn't automatically wrap to fit the frame, the letters behind cannot appear, is there any way to fix it? Thank you so much!

Hello, Ihave a notebooki716 RAM256 GB SSD M2GTX1050 ti ...Every time I export an after effect video I realize from the CPUID that the GPU (even with CUDA active) is only using 1 ... 2 ... 3 or even 0% of the GPU.I would like to know if you have something to do or if this is normal for my GPU.What can I do?

Hi, I've been trying for a while to get this to work but to no avail. I need to render some videos with an animation and a transparent background, which works just fine, but the problem comes in when the final video doesn't show the animated opacity on the elements inside. How do I get the opacity to render properly but keep the transparent bg on the final video? PS: In After Effects and if not rendered with transparent bg the opacity works just fine.

I have a bunch of old .MPG video files from 2007 and want to convert to H.264 or H.265 but everytime I do it keeps the convert date instead... Its driving me insane & I can not find the answer. I've gone to the Metadata on the export settings area and under basic it has todays date and no way to change it. Also under the Export Options it only lists 'Create Sidecar File' and 'None' availabel to select. I simply want to keep the original date and time of the 2007 videos (without having to change my computer date and time for each video. I have thousands so thats not goign to work!)  Why is this so difficult. I should be able to just add the date I want and export. WHat am I missing....   

I have two new versions (2024) of After effects and Media Encoder but when I send you projects to rendering in Media Encoder is not working, someone can give me some tips about it 

Same problem here, out of nowhere rendering in the timeline and exporting from both Ae and AME started taking much, much longer. What would usually take 1-2 mins is suddenly taking 30 - 40. I updated to Ae 2020, no change, updated my graphic drivers, no change. Tried rendering with mercury software only rather than GPU, hasn't made any difference. I have 12 core, 64 gigs Ram, Nvidia 1080 Ti, I don't really see why it should be struggling like it is. At one point I couldn't even use masks in Ae because the lag was so bad it made it impossible to work. Its really frustrating to go from a relatively great workflow to something that is, at times, barely usable. Any advice or fixes on this would be greatly appreciated.   Title edited by Mod

I have updated all apps and restarted (mac studio M1 ultra) but I get this message when trying to render from AE 23.6.0 to AME 24, build 54.  Iit will not open encoder and I get this message: 

Versions: Premiere Pro: 14.0.1 (Build 71)  Media Encoder: 14.0.0 and 14.0.1 (Build 70)   Exporting from Premiere Pro with Custom Audio Plugins (VST3 / FabFilter Plugins / Youlean Loudness Meter 2 / dpMeter4) works when exporting through Adobe Premiere Pro.   However, it always fails when going through Media Encoder. This worked a couple months ago but stopped working in the latest versions. I also tried if rendering via software only or METAL makes a difference, it does not.   The issue is active whetherr the plugin is on a active channel, master, or a channel with no information on it, it also persists when the plugin is 'disabled' in the mixer.   I am running the latest version of Youlean Loudness of 2.3.2   If I only use standard Adobe Audio Mixer Plugins, it exports like normal.   This issue persists with and without markers (seems to be a different problem than the flash marker issue).   I hope someone can find something with me to fix this.
