When converting recordings from a Sony Anycast to H.264, I get an error popup "your system does not support hardware acceleration for the current settings". The only way it allows me to enable hardware acceralation is by choosing the 'Base' H.264 profile. Why might this be?  Thanks!  System specifics:Dell Precision 7850i7-10850HNividia Quadro RTX 3000 (I have the RTX studio drivers installed) 

La exportacion del video inicia pero luego de un momento se detiene y por mas que espere no continua; ademas, si cancelo la exportacion e intento lanzarla de nuevo desde AE no aparece en Media Encoder y tengo que recurrir a reinicar el pc para colocarlo a exportar nuevamente  

Every. Single. Time. is update after effects and media encoder, I can't render. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.So I have to be a coding genius to solve this issue? Sending me to terminal, the library folder to copy this and that. I restarted my computer. IT STILL DONESNT WORK!I am sorry, I am upset. I am on a tight deadline, last time I spent half a day with customer service.I really, really need to know how to solve this issue. I am behind schedule because of this bloody update. So I am on MAC.All my adobe sofware are updated. What is going on?

Recently I have noticed that I can render a video, however it doesn't finish the export it just freezes. This is a big big issue for me as I am an edtior for a youtube channel.

Hi all, Does anyone know why there is suddenly an "Out of Memory" error msg when I've been attempting to export HEVC in Adobe Media Encoder 2022? It never happened in 2021 version! H.264 is totally fine as is all other codecs. Many thanks, Alice 

Getting a low memory error in Media Encoder. And it won't finish my export of CH. Never got this before. But my CH scene is larger than normal. Any suggestions? 

Is it possible to use ExtendScript to apply a LUT in AME?The idea would go something like this...  SourcePath="/Path/To/SourceFile";  DestPath="/Path/To/DestFile";  Format="H.264";  Preset="/Path/To/Preset.epr";  ThisLut="/Path/To/Lut.cube";  FrontEnd=app.getFrontend();  Rslts=ThisFrontEnd.addFileToBatch(ThisSourcePath,ThisFormat,ThisPreset,ThisDestPath);  Rslts.SomehowAddALut(ThisLut);

Hi, folks.Is there any way to get Media Encoder to singal when it finishes the render queue? Needless to say, I don't mean signal to the human user by playing a chime sound 🙂 I mean notify the system by firing some kind of 'onComplete' event or something when the render is done.I looked through the scripting guide and couldn't seem to find any mention of event listeners in the API. Are there any other ways? Can this be done on the OS level via CMD/Terminal? (e.g. watch the export folder for contents and see if all the expected video files are already there?)Since my intents and purposes don't require the precise time of completion, can I set an interval to periodically check if the rendering is still in progress via the following method:var previouslyElapsed = 0; var checkIfStillCooking = setInterval(isStillCooking, 1000); function isStillCooking() { if(app.getExporter().elapsedMilliseconds == previouslyElapsed) { clearInterval(checkIfStillCooking); //Queue has fini

What is the best way to transcode lossless Canon R5 8K raw material (.crm) with Media Encoder to work in Premiere Pro?

I have a problem with the encoder after upgrading to version 2019. The same problem occurs on two workstations. At random moments, the program stops working for no particular reason. This is a very big problem for me because I can not go back to the 2018 version at this stage of the post-production and I have to encode over 250 films. The only solution that work for me right now is direct export from Premier Pro. But how can you imagine the employment of someone who is sitting and every 30 minutes is encoding another movie is not the best solution.What I did:- reinstall all Adobe apps- clean cash- update graphic card drivers- on one of the stations, I even reinstalled the entire windows- I tried to encode without CUDA- I did update to 13.0.1- I did update to 13.0.2... nothing works. Since I've experienced the problem, Adobe has already sent two updates, but none of them solved my problem. There is only one machine in the entire office that has no problems with 2019 Encoder and it's a l

Hello, i have serious problem with watch folder, it seems that it does not see image sequences and so it wont convert them... Is it true?

I've been using AME casually for a few years. Been using it more now (ver. 15.4 build 42) and observe that if I change the duration of the settings to "Entire duration" and save it as a preset, AME will revert back to "Work Area" as the default whenever I switch presets or restart another AME session. Having to open up the settings panel to change the duration almost every time I use a preset kind of defeats the purpose of having them, agreed? Are others experiencing this same issue? Please inform if this is a bug or user error. Thx,- DK

Hey, I was wondeirng if there is a way to increase the upload speed. When uploading directly to vimeo it takes a long time, maybe 20min per GB. However when I use chrome to upload it separately it a GB takes about a minuet. I have a 900mb/s down speed and a 500mb/s up speed. Is there a limiter setting within Media Encoder? And can it be increased or removed?

Hi, I'm having a hiccup downloading a video from Media Encoder.The media exports into ME fine, but issue lies when I view it in QuickLook. Somewhere, the program takes my 4;30;00 short into a 00;01;36 download. I checked my settings and everything seems normal. This video is the only one having an issue.

HelloMedia encoder is freezes on splash screen,  also tried installing previous versions with same results..Cant even "end task" in task manager, just stays " not responding" until i restart my laptop.how can this be resolved? ThanksShmulik 

Sometimes it amuses me how we have managed as a human species to get to space... but software updates break it all. Media encoder is struggling with 40% of my renders, I have noticed that it struggles more when I assign it a new folder location, but if I render within the default folder is usually does the job. It might be completely unrelated.... but given that these mistakes can happen anytime, it would be amazing if AE could come with it's own way to render at least a simple mp4.  

Hi everyone, I am currently having trouble when exporting GIFS in Media Encoder.The GIFS i have been exporting are loosing some quality from the original artwork (green dashes/dots appearing). After seeing this I wanted to up the quality as my GIFS are only coming out at around 2.5mb, I have used the Quality Bar (Basic Video Settings) before in Media Encoder to increase/decrease the quality of GIF but can't see any option to do so anymore? I am not sure if this is from a new update or settings I have set when starting my animation. I will attach photos to show what I mean. Any help to get the quality bar back would be great. If that is not the issue, then any help to remove the poor quality (green dots and dashes) and up the fize size of my GIFS would be great.Thanks

AME stops encoding randomly and with no errors! It's an awful problem and I've found references to this massive error 7(!!!) years ago in 2015! It would be really great if Adobe had a QA team. This is not a me problem, or an any user problem. This is an Adobe problem. There is no problem with my files. It's completely random. Something will just stop encoding, I'll restart, the to encode again and it's fine. There's no information I can find about specifically what happens when it hangs. Just the AME UI acting like it's working while I can see in the Task Manager that nothing is "going."  PLEASE FIX

This isn't a question, but more of a comment of appreciation and discovery.  I was working on a video for a client who after I delivered the video in 1080p asked for a 4K version. 4K was never stated as a requirement and a good part of the footage was shot at1080p for potential slowing down. It was edited on a1080p timeline. After trying to explain to my client why upscaling was a bad idea I decided to export a version in 4K (using the YouTube 2160p 4K Ultra HD preset in Media Encoder) out of curiosity. I was very pleasantly suprised at the result! It is noticeably sharper than the same version at 1080p (YouTube1080p Full HD preset). Also sharper than the version exported in ProRes in1080p.  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and or sees any potential pitfalls with making these "4K" videos that were edited in 1080p?

Hi, I am wondering if there's a way to save a fixed in and out points in a custom Preset.My particular problem arises with Adobe Animate, which exports all movies containing frame effects with a "broken" first frame (odd colours). I'd like to encode the videos with a preset capable of automatically starting at frame 2.Media Encoder doesn't seem to be able to do that, but just in case, I'm asking... thanks!
