Questions

I'm trying to make a time lapse video from still  images from a dslr.   When I stitch clip together, jpegs are 5 seconds long. please advise. Thanks F

Hi,I have a large clip (1-1/2 hours long) I have exported via ME as 4K and it corrupts the finished file after around the 2 minute mark. ME completes the export but with the corruption.I have tried a second time only to receive the same issue.What are the best practice work arounds for solving this issue?Is there a cache file that I should consider deleting?I'm currently rendering the entire clip and hope this helps remove any issues.

I keep trying to export a h.264 but AME keeps exporting an empty mp4 and an xmp file. Is there any way to merge the two or fix the issue? 

   

Hi all!I've spent most of yesterday and last night creating proxy files from my camera footage and it has worked fine but there is one clip that is taking absurdly long. It's from the same camera, same settings, etc but while other clips of similar length have taken 30-45 minutes to convert this one is going strong at 9 hours and planning to need another 12! This seems absurd. Any thoughts on what might be going on?The footage is shot on a Canon R5, mostly at 50 fps (some 25fps), 3840x2160 interlaced. I'm converting from MXF OP-1a AVC to just the standard ProRes QuickTime Proxy-Half that Premiere defaults to. omg I just noticed that it has misinterpreted all of my footage as progressive?! So it thinks all my raw footage is progressive and is therefore matching the proxies to also be progressive. Is this a whole other nightmare or possibly related? Anyhow, I'm on a MacBook Pro 2019, running Sequoia 15.3.2, 32GB Ram, 8-Core intel i9, all the newest app updates installed. (I don

Not sure how to resolve this, but ME takes up gobs of memory during the encoding process no matter what I seem to do to alleviate it in Premiere. You can see screenshots below (but total memory was up to 98.63 GB when it finished). In general, I've been trying to export a 1-hour long video. Originally shot on iPhone (.mov) and encoding to MP4. My system would either crash after an hour or so of encoding. I think converted the MOVs to MP4s and tried that approach before encoding, but same issue. I had to cut the video to 30 minutes just to get an export to work. There has to be a way to improve the memory usage on my system for this task.I'm running an M2 Mac, 24 GB, Ventura (can't upgrade just yet). I had all applications closed and only using ME. I was also using Hardware encoding (Metal). I tried Software encoding but it crashed on that as well (and 10 times longer to encode). I even tried medium bitrate but didn't make much difference.It seems like ME is super inefficient with

I have been trying to figure out how to convert voice recordings to Mp3 so that i could burn them on a cd, so i downloaded this thing. It was working at first... or so I thought. I just wanted to make some bad music to make my friends laugh, but for every couple of songs it converts correctly, It slows down a couple half seed, making it sound lower, and then it cuts off at the same it would if it was going the regular speed. I'm not doing anything different to them and I don't know why they are lowing down. I'm on a time crunch please help me.

I made a 1:30 second video in After Effects, it has some photos and text over the top, the only effects I used were gaussian blur and lumetri color.  Very simple small keyframes here and there to have the photos zoom in and fade out.  I am using the newest version of After Effects and I have tried on the brand new Media Encoder and have even reverted to Media Encoder 14.03 (per several suggestions online).  When I send to Media Encoder and click play (render) it renders about halfway through the clip and then it stops and says "failed." When I export from render queue in After Effects it works just fine, the problem is I want to export an .mp4 file not .avi or quicktime, hence the reason for wanting to use Media Encoder. I am using Windows 10 Enterprise (this is a work computer), with 16gb ram, i7-6820HQ CPU 2.70GHz.

So i've been having a BUNCH of issues with media encoder for the past month. First it was getting stuck on the loading screen, but thankfully I was able to finally get it open after removing the plug-in it kept getting stuck on, but now the comp wont render at all. The project connects to AME and once i start the queue it just stays on "Connecting dynamic link to server" and loads endlessly. The project never actually begins to render. Not only that once I stop the queue I am unable to delete the project from the queue. The only way I can is if i quit AME and come back, only THEN will it let me delete projects in the queue. Anyone got any suggestions on what I should do? I already removed it and reinstalled it a bunch today but that didn't seem to work as well as other things I came across here!My after effects version is : AE 2021v 18.4 My media encoder version is : AME 2021 v 15.4

Running Windows 11 on Victus laptop w/AMD Ryzen 5000 series 7 & Radeon gfx.Latest versions of Permier Pro Desktop and Media Encoder installed and updated. I have about 39-44 minutes of MP4 footage that was originally captured on a Sony 4k camcorder.  However (and I caused this probelm) when I renamed the file and moved it via USB, Windows changed the file properties associated with the video.  (I never have any problems when I import or ingest directly from the SD card.) All the video is still there - the file size is the same, etc, etc.  But now Windows, Premier Pro and Media Encoder all think it's only 3 seconds long.  The resulting mp4 only plays the LAST 3 sec of the original.  There's probably a Sony or Windows hack out there somewhere to fix this, but I'd much rather fix my self-inflicted idiocy in Premier Pro or Media Encoder. The original stuff is gone now.  The SD card has since been formatted.  Can anyone offer a solution?

Hello, I am having an issue of rendering in after effects, even a 10 second video takes 1 to 3 hours of rendering in media encoder, please help me in resolving this issue, thanks

Hello everyone, I've designed some LED video panels for a client in After Effects, but their supplier specifications ask for a .MOV video with DVX codec. I honestly haven't heard of DivX in 15-20 years and thought the format was dead... A quick search led me to the official www.divx.com website, that provides a free app to convert video files into DVX format. The installer for the app however is not signed and I don't feel comfortable bypassing Mac OS security (also on Trustpilot it's mentioned that the Windows installer too gets flagged as malware). All in all the website is pretty sketchy. I found another alternative in https://resolume.com which provide a free converter, and while they look like a serious and professional developer, the converter is bundled with their other applications that I'd rather not install on my work machine. Does anyone know of a free and safe way to encode or convert into DVX in 2025? Thank you so much!

I don't know if there is a way to do this already... but this is either a question or a suggestion depending on if it's possible When generating proxies in Media Encoder through Premiere Pro, the proxies adopt the audio channels and attributes of the source files. Premiere Pro requires that audio on proxies matches. Is there a way to do this in AME as a first step?Without going through Premiere Pro. As far as I have been able to find, there is no way to do any sort of pass-through audio on Apple ProRes Proxy files through AME... it would have to be set in the preset or per file, but then you'd have to have a preset for every different type of audio configuration and that isn't very realistic Since it can work when going through Premiere as an intermediary, why not have the option to do it without Premiere on the front end and then connect your proxies later? is this already possible? I can't find it.

I had some films transfered to digital files that are 4:3, I want to crop out the black bars on the side in ME, When I render it, the black bars still appear as if the video is 16:9 still.  This is AFTER I go to source and select 4:3.  What user error am I doing to make this not work?

Can Media Encoder (or any other Adobe application) perform functions that ffmpeg and Handbrake do, regardless of whether it takes longer or uses more resources, etc.?

I'm in hour 16 of a render (H.264, 1 Pass, FML) and at this point, I just want the existing render without waiting the approximately 15 hours still remaining for my two-minute video.  I've tried copying the existing .m4v file every possible way but AME has it locked up. If I press "Stop" will my existing render still be sitting there in the folder? Can I salvage it from there? Or am I doomed to wait this out and miss my deadline?

I'm currently using adobe premiere pro 2020 (because of old plugins i have there), and i accidently uninstalled the media encoder for it. When i look up the older versions of media encoder that i can install it doesnt show up anything for 20.0, which is the version for adobe premiere pro 2020. I've tried looking it up, but cant find any answears for how i can install that exact version back. Please help me 

I had a queue up with a couple of edited videos that I spent a ton of time on. And then a power surge occurred which made my computer shut down and I turned it back on and all of the videos are gone from the queue. And I don't know how to get them back.

您好，我想询问一下 ME（V25.1） 是否支持 Intel Arc GPU 渲染。为什么我的 ME 不使用 Arc GPU 进行渲染，而是使用 CPU？

Max file size does nothing.I set it 4mb and get 36.5mb file.No matter if it's already rendered out H264 .mp4 file or straight from AE. Tried different encoding and bitrate encodings. I use CUDA.TBH I think this is broken for years.

Is it possible to have a suffix added to the output file name when using a (custom) preset? For example, if I use my custom Prores422 preset, that would automatically add something like "_Example" in the end of the file name.

When I export my GIF it changes all my backgrounds from white (FFFFFF) to just barely off white (FBFBFB).I have tested this with video exports and it's all fine, I have changed EVERY setting that can be changed, and nothing. Here is my desired export setting:Unfortunately as I'm trying to place these GIF images on a white website, the off-white background does not work for me, I'm at a loss!

Hello everyone, Yesterday, my Adobe Media Encoder was working perfectly fine. I was rendering a 15-minute 4K video in about 10 minutes. However, today, the same type of project takes over an hour to render! The only change I made was installing  Adobe After Effects and adding a few templates to it.I’ve tried everything:- Restarting my computer - Checking CPU/GPU usage (no issues) - Reinstalling Adobe Media Encoder and Premiere Pro - Changing export and renderer settings (Mercury GPU Acceleration, Software Only, etc.) - Clearing cache and resetting preferencesI also tried disabling Dynamic Link, but when I do that, Premiere Pro doesn’t send the project to Media Encoder at all. No matter what I try, the render times are still 5-6 times longer than before.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could After Effects have caused some background processes to slow down Media Encoder? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Whenever I want to export a project from AE and choose "add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue", nothing happens. This vital function simply does not work.I can wait forever, nothing loads in the queue. Also manually adding it to the queue doesn't work.I have a recent MacBook Pro with 16GB ram and I7, I always have the most recent updates. nothing ever helps.I see this problem being reported all over many forums and have never seen Adobe offer a solution or even recognize the issue.The only thing that helps is restarting my system and then adding a file to the queue works.But after working a short period of time on other files, it will not work anymore.Having to export a big number of files daily, this is becoming a big waste of time and money for my company.I have had this issue for over a year now and it's becoming such a big problem and frustration that I am considering canceling my subscription and finding alternatives.Any help is more than welcome.I apologize if there is another thread

Hi bug team, Sporadically, my BRAW clips (6k@48fps) shot on BMPCC6kPro are exporting as completely black amongst other clips of the exact same type, frame rate, etc when I send the media to AME to export. This issue does not happen when I export directly from Premiere.  When I re-export these clips, it is usually the SAME clips that remain black every time I export, and agian, this issue only affects AME and does not affect Premiere, but of course slows down my workflow considerably.  AME Version 24.4.1PPro 24.4.1 In the preview window of AME the clips will display black, but it will still take the same amount of time to render.If I had to guess (although I cannot confirm this) it seems that editing the RAW aspect of the footage (altering the ISO in the BRAW window) makes it MORE LIKELY that the clips will export black, although some of them come out just fine. Any help is appreciated.  System: Ryzen 9 5950xRTX 3090128GB DDR48TB Sabrent NVME
