Questions

Hi everyone,I’ve built a lightweight CEP extension for Adobe Media Encoder (v25.5) and placed it in the usual extension locations:C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\com.xcast.ame.bridgeC:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\com.xcast.ame.bridge%APPDATA%\Adobe\CEP\extensions I also verified that the required registry keys are set:HKCU\Software\Adobe\CSXS.13 PlayerDebugMode = 1HKCU\Software\Adobe\CSXS.12 PlayerDebugMode = 1 Despite this, the extension never appears in Window > Extensions inside Media Encoder.I even tried rolling back to AME v24, but the panel/extension menu is still missing.Has anyone successfully enabled CEP panels in recent versions of AME, or is there an additional step/setting I’m missing? Thanks in advance! 

I want to make a 1240 x 1683px video, but the exported MP4 video file is too large for memory. Is there any way to compress the file size of the video?

Hi!I have a sequence with reframed INSV videos filmed with an Insta360 X5.When exporting from Permiere Pro to Media Encoder, the program, ME, crashes. ME starts, I get the initial splash but then ME terminates without any messages or information. If ME is running when exporting ME terminates.After the crash when starting ME manually, not by exporting from PP, there is no trace of the previous export from PP.Help!/Kjell

I've never used Media Encoder on this computer, infact I just installed it a few weeks ago. To my knowledge I don't have any plugins installed (as I don't really use Adobe apps that often anyways). I already tried a reinstall with no avail. Please help thanks OS: macOS 11.2.3

HIhaving a major issue with media encoder. Title says it all. i go to encode a simple video just a single clip and at random intervals it actually shuts my ENTIRE computer off. this only started happening when i updated media encoder. before i updated, i had no problems whatsoever. system info:Current Windows 10 software16 gb ramNvidia GEforce gtx 760 (current as well)(Note i have solid works cadcam software with 3D modeling and pulling up massive sub assemblies with hundreds of parts and assemblies the computer doesnt even blink at it. no problems there. makes me think issue is entirely with media encoder)(note videos i am trying to edit with premier pro are just usually one video clip with titles at beginning and end from adobe. i only add maybe a cross dissolve in and thats it. videos are shot with a nikon D7000 camera. using same process i have done so for a few years now with media encoder and premiere pro with no problems till now. also again encoding crashes at random intervals.

When I create proxies in Premiere Pro, it won't open in Media Encoder. I already tried to enable PP and Media Encoder in the files section of the system preferences and it won't work. Please help me. 

This was the "answered" answer on a post from 2012. vvHi CLCTV,To close this thread, exports interpreted as variable frame rate are now interpreted as constant in AME CC 2014 (8.0), and later. Please create a new thread if you are still having trouble with this issue.Thanks,KevinCould someone explain with detail how Media Encoder is able to convert a Variable frame rate video to constant? I am personally working with a live stream video and trying to add front and back bumpers in post.Thanks![Moved by moderator from the non-technical Lounge Forum to the AME Forum for technical help]

Win10Premiere version 24.41I'm trying to create a proxy through Premiere Pro in the Project screen and the system doesn't recognize the Media Encoder. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Media Encoder several times through the Creative Cloud software and also through Windows and it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Hello.I am experiencing very slow rendering times when exporting an AfterFX project via Adobe Media Encoder.The project duration is quite long at 20-30 minutes, the first 15 - 30 seconds are quite effect intensive but then loop repeatedly for the remainder of the duration. During the first 15-30 seconds of effects the CPU goes closer to 100% (around 70-90%) but after that trickels down to barely 50%. GPU sporadically spikes to about 40% but mostly stays at very low utilization anywhere from 10 - 25%. Memory is stable at arund 42-45%. I do not use aftereffects often but use premiere pro a lot more. I notice rendering premiere pro projects is infinitely faster and takes a fraction of the time AfterFX projects take. I'm wondering why AME refuses to utilize the full power of my machine to speed up these renders. A 30 minute export takes over 3 hours. I am aware I can just render the first 2 minute long section and then loop stitch together a loop in Premiere Pro and render that and it woul

I’m building an external Electron/NodeJS app and need to add a populated After Effects project (.aepx) directly into Adobe Media Encoder’s queue without launching After Effects.What I tried:Starting AME and attempting to run ExtendScript via command line: --console es.executeScript, es.executeScript=, and -r script.jsxInside the script: calling app.getFrontend() and app.getEncoderHost(), subscribing to onItemAddedToBatch and onBatchItemCreationFailed, and writing to a temp log fileAME launches, but the script never seems to run (no file writes, no events, no queue items)Goal:Programmatically add the .aepx to AME’s queue (ideally with preset and output) without launching AE.Questions: Is there a supported way in AME 2024/2025 to execute ExtendScript from command line so it runs in the AME host?What is the recommended method to queue AE projects in AME without opening AE?If CLI script execution is not supported, should we use a CEP/UXP panel or Watch Folders instead?Can anyone share

So, I need AE22 installed on my computer .. I don't want to upgrade. Yet, Creative Cloud uninstalls programns withouth me saying it to do so ... My Adobe Media Encoder 2022 is missing, got uninstalled. I need AE22 and Me22 on my setup, there are some issues with Bodymovin not rendering in AE23 and AE24 that I haven't figured out yet, BUT it works perfect in AE22.  Someone please tell me how I can installed 2022 programns. The option for older versions, older than 23, doesn't show up.

Issue - Despite making changes to a composition and sending it to AME (from the AE menu "Composition -> Send to Adobe Media Encoder Queue"), Media Encoder exports a video that shows an older version of that composition. The changes are not included. This persists between program restarts and PC shutdowns. Adobe Media Encoder version number - 24.3 build 49 (After Effects version 24.4.0 build 47)Operating system - Windows 10 Pro (22H2) Steps to reproduce - Import a CSV file into AE. Use that CSV as a data source for several text layers. Pre-compose the text layers. Save. Send to AME. Make changes to the CSV outside of AE. Confirm that the new data is appearing in AE. Send to AME.Expected result - All changes made to the composition are reflected in the exported video.Actual result -  The exported video is not based on the actual current state of the composition, but a past state. The old data is showing up.

I've been attempting to export a project for a couple of days. I first thought it was a corrupt asset in Premiere, but now I think it's the Media Encoder app. I've uninstalled the app, cleaned the cache, and reset the preferences. Nothing has worked. However, I can break it up into 2 segments and sucessfully export it. Note: I went back and attempted to export some older projects that I had successfully exported in the past and Media Encoder still froze up. Last thing to mention, I attempted to export directly out of Premiere to the built in encoder and it still freezes up. I need some direction.Thanks  

HelloI see that this is a common problem and no one gets to any conclusions...In short: Latest AE, latest AME, windows 10Simple composition created in AE -> Add to AME queue.  -> AME opens and hangs while displaying Reading XMPIs there a solution for this?Many Thanks

Bonjour,Media encoder ne s'ouvre plus depuis les dernières versions.Comment résoudre ce problème ?Merci pour votre aide

Media Encoder is not working. I updated my MacBook Pro, and the app and have uninstalled and reinstalled Media Encoder twice with no luck. Need to upload a video and cant

初心者の為、そういう物なのかわからず困っています。解決方法があるなら教えて欲しい。 CharacterAnimatorでパペット作成、音声ファイルをリップシンクさせたものを、アルファを含んだ～Mediaencoder経由で書き出ししました。 3分程のデータでしたが、書き出し時間に3時間かかりました。 こちらのファイルをPremiere𝗣𝗿𝗼で更に編集しエフェクトやBGMなど使い5分ほどのファイルにしましたがPremiere𝗣𝗿𝗼での書き出しは15程で完了しました。 あまり高スペックではないノートパソコンを使用していますが、パソコンスペックの問題で書き出しに時間がかかっているならPremiereでの書き出しにも同様に時間がかかるのでは？それであるならばMediaencoderでの書出し時間も何らかの方法で短縮できるのではと考えました。 色々調べてみましたが私の調べ方が悪いのかパソコンをアップグレードする以外の解決策を見つける事ができませんでした。 なんとかメディアエンコーダー側の設定で短縮する事はできないでしょうか？

I am new to Media Encoder. I have been using it for about a week now. I can't figure out how to keep my Disc from looping at the end and start playing over. My goal is to play the disc and then stop at the end.

I can't download Media Encoder 2023 anymore, and my system doesn't support the current version.  Am I out of luck?  I can still get older versions of Premiere, Audition, Photoshop, etc.  Why has this one disappeared?  And why no access to the last version of Encore?  I already don't like the subscription model, but now losing access to programs that I use makes it more frustrating.

I’m running an ExtendScript inside Adobe Media Encoder 2025 on macOS and I keep getting this error:objc[38592]: Class CertificateVerifier is implemented in both /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder 2025/Adobe Media Encoder 2025.app/Contents/Frameworks/Registration.framework/Versions/A/Registration (0x1384658e0) and /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder 2025/Adobe Media Encoder 2025.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Media Encoder 2025 (0x104dad930). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed. Environment: macOS [15.6 Sequoia], Adobe Media Encoder 2025 [25.3 Build 73]What I expected: script to run without errorsWhat happens: error above, and doesn't run the scriptWhat I tried: reinstalling Media Encoder, clearing prefsHas anyone else encountered this CertificateVerifier duplicate class error?Is this a known bug in AME 2025 or something with ExtendScript?   I'm on an Apple M1 Pro

Hello, I am looking for a direct download link for Adobe Media Encoder 2021 (version 15). I am using an older project with Adobe Premiere Pro 2021, and the current versions of Media Encoder are not compatible. Adobe Support has informed me that the installer is no longer available on their servers.If anyone in the community has a copy of the installer and would be willing to share it, it would be a huge help. Thank you! 

Hey y'all, I'm trying to desqueeze some footage using media encoder and all the necessary elements seem to be set to the correct settings, but when it exports I have a 1.333 aspect ratio frame with a 16:9 squeezed video in the center. Basically, the "Stretch to Fill" option under the "Source Scaling" section doesn't seem to be doing its job, despite the preview being the correct aspect ratio. here's a before & after of the issue: https://imgur.com/fLkv3WHhere's my settings in ame: https://imgur.com/3D1bOgc as you can see the preview shows the video in the correct aspect ratio, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong for it to export incorrectly. Would appreciate any help y'all can give! thanks! system specs:Macbook Pro (16 inch, 2019)processor 2.4 ghz 8-core intel core i9amd radeon pro 5600m 8gbintel uhd graphics 630 1536mbsoftware specs:adobe media encoder v15.4.1footage specs:Codec: AVCcontainer: mp4acquisition: shot on a samsung galaxy s10+ using the app Ut

I have three versions of AME installed on my Macbook Pro: 2019, 2018 and 2017. These three apps are 3 of the Top 4 largest apps on my system (2017 + 2018 are taking up nearly 7GB of space). I have scoured the web/forums trying to find the answer to this question. Is it okay to remove old versions of Media Encoder? One would assume that you can, but for some reason information on this is very ambiguous/non-existent.Thanks

Hi all! Recently I've been having an issue with my Media Encoder not connecting to an After Effects file that I try to export. I've done some digging on this and found that I should try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue. This has happened to me in before in the past month and reinstalling worked, but this time it did not. Can someone please give me some pointers if this has happened to you and you've managed to fix it? Thanks so much!

EDIT: Can we delete the post? Prores 4444 works perfectlyExporting my animation as Quicktime Animation is perfect, no issues - except the file is gigantic.Exporting as Quicktime 422 is great, the file size is good, but the line (when pink or red only, fine when green or orange) gets pixelated.What is the best codec for this, other than Animation which is too big
