Questions

So we're working on a VOD / "Live" Streaming network that feeds from the Video on Demand Library. So basically what I need to do is create different birate versions of our 1080 masters for example. I'd need it in example 720, 480,360,160 and I load those files onto the Wowza Server. Could I also install Media Encoder on a system dedicated to watching a watch folder to do this encoding for me? What's the most efficent way to make this happen with Adobe Media Encorder? I've attached the URL for bitrate instructions from Wowza for reference -  Instructions for taking the converted bitrate files to create the ABR Stream - https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-adaptive-bitrate-streaming Instructions for using FFMEG to encode - https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-live-stream-using-ffmpeg-with-wowza-streaming-engine Thanks! 

I have just encoded video which is 1 Hour and 10 Minutes long. But at the 45:56 seconds mark the video just stops playing meaning it did not encode , I thought i may did something wrong and encoded the same video again after waiting for 3hours , the video again stops at te 45:56 mark. And i get warning from AME  - "  File Encoded with warning " and "Could not write XMP data in output file." Can someone tell me what is causing this because i never had this problem before.

Help! just tried to export using ME and Premeire Pro says ME not installed. apparently it updated to version 22.6.1, Im running Premiere Pro 15.4.5 (long term supported). Can I revert to an earlier version of ME? what version? Any Help is welcome!Tom using a Macbook Pro : macOS MontereyVersion 12.6MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021)Chip Apple M1 MaxMemory 32 GBStartup Disk Macintosh HD

I have large .mxf files that are at an unnecessarily high bit rate but with at least 8 channels of audio. Is there any way I can make these files smaller (H264 .mp4 would be fine) whilst also keeping the audio? I'd love to do it in Media Encoder as a batch if possible. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. 

Hi,I'm using Media Encoder from After Effects CC to encode a composition in H264.I wish to reach a bitrate around 50.Unfortunatly, whatever the value i set in output bitrate (CBR or VBR, anyway), it seems like my output MP4 file is always the same weight (around 20 Mo). When i clic on the file properties (Windows), it says that the video bitrate is 33 Mpbs.I've tried to increase "level" and target bitrate to 50, 100, 150 Mbps, but the output file size (and quality) never change.Of course i've tried to change output file name, change CBR to VBR, levels, etc. Nothing changes, and i can't get a good output quality.Thanks for your help !Regards,

I keep getting a dynamic link error saying it can't connect to after effects 2023 and to verify that it's installed. How do I fix this?

i just updated to 2023 for premiere pro and 2023 media encoder. the one on the left is what is in the timeline and then after exporting with media encoder the color turns very different. any ideas? 

My encoder was auto updated, but I still using AE 2021 for some of the project, I want to have encoder 2021 back. The creative clould "install old version" can only trace back to the 2022 one, does anyone know where can download the 2021 version media encoder! Million thanks! 

I have 2 Versions of the Media encoder one of 2021 and one of 2022, (two different programs on my pc) both need round about 2.5 GB and i need more space on my pc, so can i uninstall the older version or do i need both versions to run photoshop, lightroom and the other programs?  

A client wants to send raw broll to the customer but wants to remove the camera audio track. Is there a way to do that for hundreds of files without adding a layer of decompression/compression? Almost like copying the files without audio? I know it's a shot in the dark. As an alternative, is there a way to make sure the recompresed video is as identical to the original as possile? Thanks for any help.

Non parte la coda di rendering dopo aver aggiornato con Adobe 2023 da Premiere a Encoder.

Okay so I'm fairly new to this but I've been trying to reduce some video file sizes. I accidentally recorded in too high of quality and my 3 minute video is almost 2 GB. No matter which video I load into the encoder (I've now tried with 50+) as soon as I start within the first 10 seconds my screen goes black, the AME icon turns green as if I have a pop up, but instead of getting a pop up it goes away and my encoder stops. Every time this happens I have to restart my computer to get AME to even start encoding. Someone please help I've searched every crevice of the internet and can't find anyone with this same problem. Someone please help I have deadlines to meet and depend on Adobes software.

My video was a few minutes into rendering, then I decided to do some Googling about previous errors. As soon as I moved my mouse... CRASH!!!Just been back to check after typing that, and the progress clock is still frozen. This software is an absolute NIGHTMARE

Sometimes you just get a mix of footage. Then I want to make proxies.My footage is:8192x43203840x21604208x3160 with pixel aspect of 2.0 4096x2160....Well, you get the idea. There are several aspect ratios that end up in a project. I'd Like to create all of the proxies somewhere around the 1280x720 size. But right now I need to create an ingest preset for every single aspect ratio I've got? No, Adobe wouldn't be so dumb as to not give us the option to have the proxies match the aspect ratio so that they aren't stretched would they? Because that's what happens if you just use the default. I'm also trying to share proxies online, so I'm stuck with H.264 and I'm lowering the target rate to 10 Mbps. I found that was a good balance of size when sharing proxies over oneDrive, but still giving you something Relatively tolerable if you need to render out a preview and don't have the footage. Is there a trick to making presets that will resize and keep the aspect ratio of the original?

I've noticed that Media Encoder uses CPU to export, but at 100%, all of a sudden the hard drive spins up, and stays active for several minutes before the video file is ready. Is it common for Media Encoder to sit at 100% for several minutes while the hard drive does this? It almost doubles the export time as a result. If it takes 7-8 minutes to render, it then takes several minutes at 100% before completing. Thank you for your input!

Hi, Im trying to  render out a hyperlapse i did in AE, the photos/composition ended up being 4000x6000 . when i render out in ME it tells HW rendering not supported on my gpu. Why the limitation? Its an 8Gb RTX 2070. I thought i'd render that high and then i will do zooms and effects in premiere pro and export at hd eventualy thanksJ

I exported a 35minute project using adobe media encorder and after playing the exported clip there was only sound for like 5mins, the rest of the sound was missing but there is audio in the timeline and it is audible when it's played from adobe premiere pro  My PC specifications: OS - Microsoft Windows 10 ProCPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690 Ram - 16gm ddr3 GPU - gtx960 How to fix this? I use Premiere Pro 2019 and Adobe Media Encorder 2019

When I ask in After Effect to export and add to Adobe Media Encoder queue, Media Encoder opens but nothing is added to the queue, my work cannot be exported! I work on Mac Studio and the 2 software as well as Mac OS are up to date.

Adobe Media Encoder v22.6 is now available for download from Creative Cloud desktop app. This update includes important bug fixes & is recommended for all users.   List of issues fixed in v22.6 Fixed an issue where if you try to create proxies from interpreted clips, Premiere Pro sends the clips to Adobe Media Encoder flagged with their original frame rate. The resulting proxy is out of sync with the interpreted footage. The export sequence API call returns false when the provided sequence name can not be found in the project. Audio missing from AVCHD spanned clips with AC3 audio (macOS only).   Complete documentation New features Fixed issues Known issues

Hello,I was using ME to format a bunch of videos that have very specific specs:Video - Bitrate range, Codec High Profile levels, loudness normalizer settings, and all are good. The one thing that doesnt hold is the AAC codec which is requsted. When I choose it and select 192 kbps, that value changes when I check the final MP4. Its aroundf 188, which fails the publishers needs.  If I choose MPEG instead of AAC, I can hold the value at 192 when testing. Can someonbe help me figure out why I cant get the AAC codec to stay at 192 after the file compresses?Thanks in advance for anyone that may be able to help here.Cheers,Babs 

As my subject line says, I updated to 22.4 and now I do not have the option to "Interpret Footage" (it's greyed out) after I send my footage from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder. If you aren't familiar with the 120FPS workaround, I interpret 120fps footage to 23.976 in PP and in ME so I avoid the 60fps issue. I have now downgraded to (22.3.1) until there is a solution. Really hurts my workflow.

Hi all,I'm trying to export an After Effects project as an mp4 (H.264), but at about 90% complete, it will fail. I'm completely lost as it's the same settings I always use to export.Here's the Error Log I got: ------------------------------------------------------------- Encoding Time: 00:39:1710/10/2022 03:56:48 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\D:\Sample Videos\Tests\True Justice\True JusticeBETA2.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00;00;42;20 - 00;00;43;06Rendering at offset: 42.709 secondsComponent: H.264 of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: -1609629695------------------------------------------------------------ Both AE & AME are the 2020 versions and I'm using Windows 10 Thanks in advance

Hi.  Using AE beta daily on M1. It's been great.  Only issue I see which isn't much is a little lag in the timline when selecting all.  Typically to reset layers to all unopen I will hit command A then hit P twice to select position adn once to reduce everything.  in regular AE this would just happen instantaineously. On M1 beta, theres a second or 2 lag in returning all to miimized.  Can ME beta be set to the default app when exporting from AE?  When I export from AE the legcy version of ME always opens by default.   Thanks.
