Questions

Hi,It seems obvious, but actually carries a lot of routine. Yes, it is possible to move clips in the queue with the mouse, but it is hardly possible without a mouse. I have a typical situation: often hundreds of clips are in the queue for encoding and suddenly an urgent task arrives. Of course it becomes the last one. How can we quickly move it to the top of the queue or assign it to the next one after the current one, without holding the mouse for a long time while the list is crawling? It seems there must be some hotkeys: move the task above, below, to the beginning, to the end. I probably don't have enough experience. Any hints please.

Inside of Premiere Pro I have the option enabled to automatically create proxies whenever I put in new video footage and it works really nice. But can I somehow tell Media Encoder to not open up in the foreground while doing this and then automatically close the application again after finishing the proxy? That would be awesome and such a timesaver overall!

Hi there, I am a Multimedia Production Student and have been using Premiere Pro and Media Encoder for 6 years now. As I am preparing to move to freelance I am finding myself regularly having to transcode large amounts of footage, for example from H.265 to Prores. I am growing more and more frustrated with how little CPU and GPU capacity is used when transcoding. Currently I am looking at a max. utilization of 44% on CPU and around 25% on GPU, no matter what I do. It's definitely not storage speed related, everything is running off of internal PCIE SSDS or external drives with over 400MB/s transfer speeds. What's most frustrating is that transcoding in Resolve 18 Maxes out my system resources in similar transcodes. Am I doing something wrong or is Media Encoder still this poorly optimized? Thank you for your inputs and experiences.

I have the latest version of ME but it crashes immediately upon opening. I used to get the dialog box telling me it crashed, but now it just disappears and drops a .crash file on my desktop. Here's what it said:Process: Adobe Media Encoder.exe [33036]Path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2022\Adobe Media Encoder.exeProduct Version: 22.0.0.107File Version: 22.0.0.107Code Type: x64Parent Process: explorer.exe [5228]Date/Time: 2021-12-10 10:43:35 Central Standard TimeOS Version: 10.0.22000.318Report ID: 37f10a86-bba1-4b8d-b0a3-efb570a4eb8a Time Awake Since Boot: 156 secondsCrashed thread: 0 [17588] THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMALException Code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONException Parameters: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000008Exception Message: 3221225477 The instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p.

Hi, it is very frustrating that Adobe Media Encoder doesn't have the option to convert an mkv video to other formats. When is going to be available this option?

I have a lot of videos that are taken along and that is not good for meHow I turn the video 90 degrees as easily as you can do other conversion software but not qualityI use Premiere occasionally but it's a complicated trickI would be happy with you to add an option or teach me how to do it in Media Encoder

Hi thereFirst off, Ive emailed Quvis quite a few times , filled out a contact form, and also have posted to their Facebook page, and I have called them a number of times, even though Im based in UK and it wont be cheap to call the USA!! So, I have tried many many times to contact someone who can help. I  am hoping that someone here can offer advice , or better still actually provide a working contact for Quvis. Ive paid upfront for the Wraptor Pro version.Here's the problem:Basically, since we started using PP/AME and making DCP's it doesnt matter if you select your content to be a short, trailer, or whatever- it always ends up in the Features section of a cinema server. This was never the case before on MacOs Wraptor Pro. Something isnt right.Secondly, when selecting a 1920x1080 output, it says 'C' in the naming convention (Full Container) which again , isnt right.I'm sure these must be  easy fixes? The actual content on screen is correct, but it looks amateurish and explain

Dear Community. When I export a file using the ARD-ZDF HDF02a-1.1 Profile preset the MXF file has (among others) the following meta data (in MediaInfo): Color range : Limitedcolour_range_Original : FullThe file itself is encoded in "Legal Range" (like every common YUV encoded strem), but FFmpeg for example seems to interpret these files als "Full Range" (Premiere, Resolve are fine). As a result, all trancodes are "wrong" (lifted blacks/lower highlights). The "_Original" flags are the one from the stream, the tags witout  the "_Original" are the flags of the container as far as I know.Where does the "_Original" flag come from? In my test the source was a ProRes (444 and 422HQ) file (Legal Range).Of course I am able to fix this issue during transcoding in FFmpeg, but sometimes I don't have the choice. To sum up: is the "colour_range_Original : Full" correct and necessary on ARD-ZDF HDF02a-1.1 Profile files?

I have been successfully using Clips Exporter for several months as a quick and convenient way to export multiple clips with the exported file name being the name of the clip – but a major problem has occurred in the last few days between Premier Pro 2023 and Media Encoder 2023.Now, when I export more than 10-15 clips at the same time, my Windows 11 system memory usage goes from about 45% to 100% until Premiere Pro crashes due to memory problems caused by memory usage at 100%.This only happens when I export to AME. If I export to Premiere Pro directly there's no problem. This means I have a clumsy workaround – but not having AME is a MAJOR impact on productivity! Memory usage for all Adobe products is set to 50% of my available 64GB of memory. Clearly, this limit has been exceeded since running this software combination is using up ALL 64 GB of memory. I've also had the memory usage for all Adobe products set to 75% and had the same problem.In the past, I have easily bee

why MKV format file isn't supported by Adobe because if it was, it would save us and we are wasting our time to convert it to another format that is supported by Adobe.

Hi all,When converting a 1920x1080 video to h.264 at 400x224 800kbps avg, 1mbps max the quality of the conversion is insanely poor compared to other encoders. Text in particular becomes blotchy, soft and/or excessively low contrast. When using other encoding programs with the same setting the text quality is far more crisp and distinct. Quality in general is much better. Anyone have any ideas on how to improve ME quality when exporting to a very small video size like this? Does ME just not do tiny video size well or is there something I'm missing?Any suggestions are appreciated.

Bonjour,En exportant un fichier depuis After Effects tout semble bien se dérouler dans Media Encoder.Mais en fin de processus je reçois cette alerte : Fichier codé avec avertissement------------------------------------------------------------L’importateur de fichiers a détecté une incohérence dans la structure de fichier de 00013.mp4.La lecture et l’écriture des métadonnées (XMP) de ce fichier ont été désactivées. ... Et la vidéo exportée est illisible.L'erreur est nouvelle et soudaine, tout fonctionnait bien jusque là.J'ai réinstallé AE et ME... mais rien n'y fait 😞Quelqu'un aurait-il une explication, une solution ?...Merci

Win 10 ProPPRO 14.0.1 build 71AE 17.0.2 build 26AME 14.0.1 build 70 When I export from PPRO via AME, AME starts. When I click the green play button to start rendering nothing happens. Sometimes it keeps saying Reading XMP and displaying the blue but it doesn't start rendering. Reinstall of AME did not work. Checking/unchecking import PPRO sequences natively in AME did not work. Direct export from PPRO doesn't work also. I used self created (in AE) .mogrt file. Is that the problem? HELP please, have some clients waiting!Thanks,Levi

Did you know that you can bypass the Export Mode in Premiere Pro by pressing Option-Shift-M to send a sequence directly to Adobe Media Encoder. This shortcut has been added to Premiere Pro 23.3.

Hello, I have a ProRes file with 8 audio channels. I have to encode an h264 from this and only consider audio tracks 1 & 2 as a stereo mix. I can't find any options with the "h264-Preset", with the "Quicktime-Preset" I can find the option to map the audio, but I have no option to select h264 as the codec. am i too stupid or is the media encoder just not able to create such a file? 

We have identified a file name issue affecting H.264 and HEVC/H.265 exports on Windows with Media Encoder 23.1   The issue impacts H.264 and HEVC/H.265 exports to folders with names that use double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or extended ASCII characters, like accents and umlauts. Affected users will see this message: File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of %filename.mp4%. Reading and writing this file’s metadata (XMP) has been disabled.   We will inform you when a fix is available.   If you are experiencing this issue, use one of these options: Choose an export destination folder that uses only single-byte ASCII English characters (no accents, umlauts, etc.) Export to a different format, such as Apple ProRes. For H.264 exports only: disable hardware-accelerated encoding.

So I spent a couple weeks diving into the 1.0 docs that were released last month (https://readthedocs.org/projects/ame-scripting-guide/downloads/pdf/latest/) and have gotten some things to work, namely launching AME command line with a JSX file and getting it to clear the queue, populate it and start rendering.But there are some functions that aren't working for me: I can't get the dynamic setting of FPS, Width, Height or Frame Range to work. I'm using the app.getFrontend().addFileSequenceToBatch() function to create an item from an image sequence, and my hunch is that those attributes are only supported with addFileToBatch for some reason. It would be HUGE if I could leverage that, right now I'm dynamically creating presets to do all but Frame Range setting and it works, but it's an unnecessarily heavy lift and creates tons of presets that need to be cleaned up.I can't figure out whether the writeln print statements go...they don't echo in a shell/console I can find and

Could someone please tell me how i can stop the looping of a gif when i export it in Adobe Media Encoder? I have designed an 8 second composition in After Effects and I want to save it as an animated GIF but only want it to play once, not continuously loop. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks

Since updating to the 22 version of AME, when a file finshes rendering it plays the sheep sound, and not the finished chime. These file are finished successfuly, but it plays the sound for a failed render each time. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey zusammen,ich habe eine Frage bezüglich der Dateigröße von Videos. Ich möchte mein Videoprojekt (geht länger als eine Stunde) auf eine Bluray brennen. Leider habe ich da einige Fragen die ich jetzt so über das Internet nicht beantworten konnte (vielleicht suche ich auch mit den falschen Keywords).Wenn der Bluray-Rohling 25gb Platz hat, inwiefern sollte ich mit der Dateigröße die 25gb anstreben?Lohnt es sich die Bitrate dementsprechend hoch zu stellen? Gäbe es da Probleme bei den Bluray-Playern wenn die Bitrate zu hoch ist (ruckeln bei der Wiedergabe)?Inwiefern kann ich im vorherein ~23gb anstreben, ohne das Video 5 mal rauszurendern. Gibt es da zuverlässliche Wege? Wäre super wenn mir da jemand unter die Arme greifen könnte 🙂

I have a good number of still sequences that need to be encoded. Right now I'm dragging them from their respective individual folders into the queue one at a time. Is there a faster way to get them into the queue basket? 

Been trying to get AME 2020 to encode in 4K HEVC (H265), but I get a very quick fail every time, with error code 7 (Out of Memory) in the logs. Reinstalled AME 2019: it works like a charm.So: rollback to 2019 for me, and will wait for some updates to AME 2020 first. @Adobe Support: If you read this, I'd like to report this as a bug.
