when i export a very small video as an animated gif with adobe media encoder the file increases GREATLY in size like a 700 Kb videos to a 59 MB gifevery single timewhat am i doing wrong

I just ran some clips through the Watch folder process.   This is incredibly frustrating and annoying!   1) THERE ARE NO upper level user settings for the behavior we need.   2) IT MOVED EVERY SOURCE CLIP from the original folder to it's own unique Source Folder ... making a NIGHTMARE problem for getting the clips back into one frickkin' folder.   Why oh why did it put EVERY clip into a separate folder? Who on earth would ever want that behavior?   Neil

I would like to export AVI files from Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. Am I able to buy the codecs for Mac to do so?

Hello, im currently working on a project for school where i have to put all these .jpg files inot one video using Media Encoder (23 edition) and i get this error message whenever i try to drag and drop a picture. I cant even see the pictures if i search for the file using the encoder. PLEASE HELP!

I recently upgraded to ME 2023.  Every time I export something out of ME, this high pitched squeal comes out of my computer (even if the speakers are off).  It doesn't stop until the export finishes.  I never had this before.    To be clear: this is not occurring in the outputted media, but only while ME is exporting. Is there a solution to this?  Is this a known problem? Should this be reported as a bug?

Hello, this is my first time posting on here, but I need some help. I am editing a video between Premiere and After Effects (both are the latest versions), my export settings for both are a "custom" Apple Pro Res 422 HQ format and the playback, after being rendered (in the Render Queue), plays with no problems.I then take my videos into Media Encoder, with a "custom" H.264 preset (CBR is at 50). The playback once the videos are finished, cuts off the last 2 seconds of my audio. I am not dealing with any video problems with the encoding, just audio. I have tried looking for a solution and haven't been able to find one that works. 

I recently got a new Dell Precision (hi-spec) laptop, all drivers etc are up to date. I have re-downloaded all my adobe applications. All my other application start up and work fine, I am trying to render a file from aftereffects from media encoder and it seems impossible! I try to open media encoder from my applications, from AFE, I can't see a splash screen or anything, it doesn't even appear in my task manager? I've been trying to do this since yesterday, I've uninstalled and reinstalled?   Any ideas?   Title edited by Mod.  

How to Write a String to Console window? //something like belowvar myStr= "Some message";console.message(myStr);

Both our iMac and Mac Pro are on Monterey running Premiere and Encoder 2023.The iMac makes quick work of proxies, but the 2020 Mac Pro goes slow and hangs. Once it starts processing the system cpu usage in activity monitor goes way up while the user cpu% is lower which is the opposite on the iMac. The iMac has higher user cpu%, like 82%. A 20+ minute interview took 7mins to proxy on the iMac pro and 40mins. on the MacPro. What could be the reason for this difference and for Encoder showing up as a system process instead of a user process on the Mac Pro? 

Get this error all the time when I try to add to Media encoder from After effects. Both programs are updated. working on AE 23.0 and Media encoder have tried both 23.0 and 23.1 and nothing is working.Working on mac

Hello,I am creating some proxies with AME. However it keeps on crashing. I have been watching the RAM usage in Activity monitor. It starts off low around 8GB and then cranks up to 30GB and then eventually crashes. It starts off well, pumping out some clips around 20 or so and then slows and doesn't respond. I have tried clearing Cache for both AME and Premiere and my Library. I am trying to convert XAVC 4K 50FPS files to Quicktime Prores Low res Proxy. Running Macbook Pro 2019 2.3Ghz 8-Core intel Core i9Memory 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory Both AME and Premiere are up to date as of 19 Sep 2022 Is there anything I can do to make it more stable? Thanks!

Hey All,  Currently trying to render out some stuff from adobe after effects via media encoder. It was okay until it updated recently and now experiencing problems with it. It just hangs in media encoder at a few minutes. Ive left it overnight and tried several times to re render but facing the same issue with the same file and different files too! It stops at random points and then just hangs. Running M1 Macbook Pro16GB RAMVersion 13.0.1 (22A400)

Media Encoder updated to 2023 verison and ever since does not open as 'an error occured'.

Just installed all of the latest 2023 apps on my M1 Mac Mini. Media Encoder 2023 crashes shortly after the splash screen disappears.

Olá pessoal, instalei a Creative Cloud 2022 no PC em que eu trabalho. Eu tinha versões "alternativas" já instaladas e configuradas, mas consegui finalmente pagar pelos apps para ter mais segurança e ser correto. Meu workflow é After Effects e Media Encoder. Assim que instalei no PC, visto q tinha outras versões anteriores (2017 e 2020) já instaladas, a versão 2022 instalei tambem e rolou liso, de boa. Precisei formatar minha maquina, pois fazia 4 anos que não formatava e queria começar esse ciclo com  a maquina limpa. Aí que começaram os problemas.Uso um Desktop com processador i7 oitava geração - 64 gb de ram - Placa de Video Nvidia Quadro P4000 e uma Nvidia NVS 810. Editei um monte de material no After Effects e tirei o dia hoje para renderizar todo o material, mas o Media Encoder SIMPLESMENTE não renderiza... O primeiro video, renderizou (em MP4 H264 e MOV DXV) e ficou piscando uma tela verde durante todo o video. Renderizei em Quicktime direto do After Effects, aí foi, mas o a

Hi there! For some reason Media Encoder is crashing everytime I'm trying to create proxies. We own 2 iMac Pro's (2017) and both have the same problem. When I try it on an older MacBook or iMac with the updated version it doesn's seem to have that problem. Does anyone know what could be the issue? Grt. Ricardo

Hello,I have developed extension works on Adobe Bridge and Adobe InDesign called Tree Shade.https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/13737Now the extension makes BridgeTalk between Bridge and InDesign to export pdf files and page images.I want to do the same with AME. I want Bridge to ask AME to export a .aep file to mp4 and get informed when the exporting is done.Could anyone help me with that. Thanks in advance.

My media encoder speeds have been cut by about 80% since updating to Ventura, do we have any insight on this? Simply cutting up a video and rerendering it is taking about double the video length. If I add a background around the edges using an adobe stock image, the render speed is about triple the video length (in my case, 4+ hours for a 1.5 hour video. Any ideas? I checked my settings and cleared my cache and nothing has changed.

Hi there, I have been having this issue for years where I have had to do the fix manually which takes way more time. My job requires that I resize lots of videos and compress them to make them easy to share. The videos are from all sorts of different aspect ratios. 16:9, 4:3, 2.35:1 etc HD,4K etc.. I still havent found a way in media encoder where you can batch compress the original videos to export with a setting where the longest edge is set and the short edge changes for each individual video. If I have a 2:35.1 video and I compress it and resize it from 1920 on the long edge to say 1000p on the long edge. With the scaling lock selected, the video correctly scales, but any other video in the queue will be fitted into that framing. So a 16:9 video will be exported with big black boxes to the sides for example. It there a way to make this just scale per video in the queue whereby if you want all videos of varying aspect ratios, to have the longest edge being a set

Hi, really need some help here. I spent about 4 hours trying to figure this out. Tried all the solutions I saw posted including turing of the "Import sequences Nativley" making sure there is enough free space, clearing cache, reinstalling, restarting and none of it worked.  No matter what I do my comp when sent to Media Encoder from After Effects (via Add to Adobe Media Enocder Queue) are getting stuck for minutes when I try to access the settings window or when they start to render. For a 15 sec video I'm seeing delays of about 4 minutes.  I know these times are accurate as the screen shots have time stamps.  I uninstalled AE 22.5 and tried to roll back to 22.3 (I swear that used to work) along with removing ME 22.5 and installing both ME 22.0 and 22.3, but I had no luck. I then allowed AE and to update to the latest 22.5 and tried it with ME 22.0 even not keeping the prefernces, but again nothing. Not matter what I do it will take about 4 minutes just to open

Hello. I have a few questions about source range in Me.1. How to set up default source range. I want work area and not Sequence in/out2. Is there a way, when batch exporting, to set up wanted source range instead clicking every file and setting it to "work area" Thanks
