Questions

I used to be able to leave Media Encoder running in the background whilst continuing working in After Effects or Premiere Pro. Now media encoder takes over the entire CPU and I can't even use a browser or edit a document if it is encoding.  I am presuming this is something to do with CPU priority. I have tried using the 'renice' command in terminal but it has no impact. I have a feeling it is a fault in Mac OS rather than Media Encoder as the whole ecosystem has changed with Catalina. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Using version 14.8 build 31Thank you. Tim

So my SSD was getting clogged up so I decided to move all my files to my 😧 drive. All my apps are on there including Premiere Pro and Photoshop - I can open them fine through the files themselves but it seems Creative Cloud doesn't know where they are. Premiere Pro didn't recognise Media Encoder so I forcefully uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it to no luck. Creative cloud keeps trying to update it on my C: drive, obviously it isn't there any more.  In preferences I've changed preffered install location to my 😧 drive but still nothing - and I can't change the syncing location as I recieve and error message when I try to do so. Can anybody help? I've got a load of work to do and basically can't create any proxies right now. I'll attach some images.  The biggest issue is I can't reinstall Media Encoder or AE because Creative Cloud doesn't know  they're not installed.    

I was hoping the newest upgrade would fix this. It didn't. I export a video project using Media Encoder and the audio from a previous export is used instead of the current edit. So strange (although I see this has been an issue for a while.)

hi, i have a windows server that i would like to use as a network render farm with media encoder for after effects and premiere.  the problem is that i currently have adobe cc license installed on a laptop and desktop pc.  i read that there is an app called aerender, but i wasn't able to figure out how to get it to work.  is it possible to do this without a license, or can i purchase a 3rd license?

Hey there!  I'm having some trouble with Media Encoder. Every time I try to export my project as a TIFF Seq, Quicktime, MP4, or AVI file, I end up with this strange split-screen error. I've tried a bunch of different settings, but nothing seems to work. I thought it was just a preview issue, but it's showing up in the final product too.  Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

FALTANDO 10 SEG DE UM TRABALHO PEQUENO ELE TRAVA.

Hello all,I'm attempting to set up a dedicated export machine in my company's new office. This machine is an HP Z620 (running Windows 10) and will rely on AME's watch folders in order to pull projects export. The files being pulled exist on a network server with there being watch folders for each editor. The editors will put their completed projects in their respective watch folders, which would then allow for AME to pull and export out their projects. Now, the issue I'm running into with this is the fact that the company runs off of Macs (currently iMacs, not my personal choice, but our CEOs) for editing, thus making the file path to the project and every other associated file completely different than what it would be on Windows. Because of this, early tests of this system yielded the red "Media Offline" screen during the watch folder's export, obviously because of the varying file paths. My question then is how could this issue be remedied or is there a workaround we could use to ge

It is stuck here, just says "exporting video: preview not available"

Hi everyone, I'm making some animations in After effects for a broadcast client. 2 of the many render specifications are Unmatted alpha channel and EBU R128 audio. Stand alone these are no big issue but I struggle to find a workflow to apply both. I can render Unmatted directly in After effects but I can't render with EBU R128 audio. And in AME I have the opposite problem.AME can render with EBU R128 very easely but I somehow can't find an Unmatted alpha menu. Am I missing something? Please help.

I usually export direct from Premiere Pro but recently had to export multiple files to Media Encoder. Next time I tried to open the .prproj files in Premiere Pro, THEY HAD MOVED AND I HAD TO SEARCH FOR IT! AND THEN I HAD TO RE-LINK ALL MY SOURCE FILES! [sorry for all caps but I meant to yell...] Are you kidding me with this? Bad enough the Photoshop interface has become so clunky to use, now Premiere Pro? What are they doing at Adobe...if it isn't broke, break it? Honestly, I've been an Adobe fan since PageMaker and Photoshop 1...I can't imagine why these fabulous, previously intuitive programs are being destroyed. Please help me to figure out what happened and how I can return to an easier workflow. I share folders with clients and I had to explain on a screen share call why I was having trouble finding files. Sorry for the rant, thanks in advance—running macOS Monterey, CC subscription up-to-date.

I would like to write a C++ plugin that allows me to generate encoding task via external input, e.g request over network. Since the extendscript environment in AME does not have access to the Socket class, I have been looking into the Premiere Pro SDK. Is there a suite that allows me to do this? I was looking into the Export Controller, but it seems to only be triggered via user interaction, and not sure its supported anyway by AME. Thanks for any help

I am exporting clips from Adobe Premiere sequence named J26_FTG. Previously I just select clips one by one and add them to AME, as a result, I got clips J26_FTG.mp4, J26_FTG_1.mp4, J26_FTG_2.mp4, etc.Somehow after update, AME overwriting the file J26_FTG.mp4 despite the option in preferences "Increment output file name..". Any suggestions or this is a bug?

Are you supporting the product Adobe Media Encoder 23.3? how long will you support this product. What is the End of life date of  this version?

I'm running into an issue that I have never run into before. I queued up a sequence to be rendered from Premiere to Media Encoder. I started the render in Media Encoder, I went back to Premiere to start on a new project in Premiere while Media Encoder renders in the background. The issue is that every time I hit play on the Premiere Timeline, it pauses the Media Encoder render. I've checked everywhere and can't find the issue within the software. I may be overlooking something. I also can't find anyone having the same issues online. This is a new problem. It hasn't acted like this before. I have attached a video below that demonstrated what I'm talking about. I'm on a 2017 iMac Pro with a 3.2 ghz Intel Xeon W. 32gb RAM. Raedon Pro Vega 56 8gb RAM.   Title edited by Mod

Hallo! Meine Anfrage in Kürze: Ich bin auf der Suche nach einer Funktion, um meine alten Videos archivieren zu können. Ich möchte Videos, vor allem mov. und alte Mpeg, in H265 umwandeln. Dabei möchte ich aber meine Metadaten behalten, weil das Erstellungsdatum des Videos die einzig sinnvolle Art ist, die Videos zu archivieren. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, das mit ca. 10.000 Videos zu machen?  Soweit bin ich schon:  Ich kann eine Metadatemdatei beim Export aus der Apple Photos App erstellen. Diese ist im XMP Format. Danach kann ich den Media Encoder nutzen, um alle Videos umzuwandeln. Mit einem Skript könnte ich die Dateinendung, die der Encoder hinterlässt, wieder entfernen, soweit so gut. Mit der Adobe Bridge kann ich die Metadaten auch einzeln verbinden, leider geht das nicht als Stapelverarbeitung. Hat jemand eine Idee?  Vielen Dank schon einmal!

I'm using Media Encoder to trans-code an orignial MKV file into a h.264 file (since it's very laggy to edit with MKV since it's so compressed).When I try this, a weird bug/glitch happens.For the first 10 minutes everything is fine and the trancoded video is playing back as it's supposed to. However, after around the 10 minute mark or so, the video portion loops back to the beginning while the audio portion keeps playing.So like at minute 15, it's the audio for minute 15 but the video for minute 5. I tried both trancoding it to GoPro Cineform and h.264.It's the same problem. I can even see it start to loop in the output preview of media encoder.Is this a problem with my source file or a problem with Media Encoder? Is there any way to fix this?Infact, when I was trying to recreate the problem, now it loops like the first minute of video for all 20 minutes of audio instead of even getting to 10 minutes.

Please help me. In AE, the video looks correct, but in Adobe Meda Encoder, such a cropping is found on the right. What is the problem? The application versions are the same, 2023. 

I spent about 6 hours editing things and adding it to the queue. Hit Save Queue, hit start queue and Adobe Media Encoder crashed. Upon restarting it, the queue was completely gone. Does Save Queue actually save it somewhere and I'm just not finding it? Anyway to restore the last saved queue?

on 2 of my systems, I can't get the GPU to be fully used when rendering.(the machines were originally designed for a different piece of software).1-i9-13900hx64gb-ddr54090-laptop 2-i9-13900k128gb-ddr5dual 4090. 3-i9-12900k64gb-ddr43080-ti- laptop system (3). is the one rendering fastest at the moment striking me as strange. I run the latest Adobe software (not beta) and the latest studio drivers (not beta). any ideas on where to get started troubleshooting? I mostly use AE with heavy effects instead of live footage.

I was wondering if it is possiblel to batch remove a watermark I placed on 100+ videos using Encoder.  I  want to change the watermark.  Tia

Hallo Zusammen, hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich einen kompletten Ordner mit unterordner für das automatische Rendering hinzufügen kann? Konkret geht es mir um r3d Daten von RED, die immer in Unterordner sind. Bei mir ist es also Rushes / Speicherkartenname / Dateiname / Datei... und ich möchte eig den gesamten Ordner Rushes als Watched Folder hinzufügen und konvertieren. Danke für IdeenAndi

I have recently changed the hard drive (windows 10), and therefore I have had to install all my programs again. Now I have got a strange problem when I export via Encoder. (See photos). It happens regardless of whether I use hardware or software encoding.. I hope someone has the same problem;)

I just made my first animation and the next thing I want to share my video on Twitter it just does this:  And Media Encoder is the new one so how do I fix this? Anyone actually reading this, HELP!

My drone footage is recorded at 4k 60fps HEVC at about 150mbps. When exporting through Media Encoder, it will encode a 4k 60fps prores proxy file at about 300mbps Given that, it sounds like an acceptable final output format for stock footage, right?  I mean it would be better to have a prores proxy file at 300mbps then an MP4 at 45mbps, right?  

is adobe media encoder free???
