Questions

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

Hello, sometimes when I finish rendering the video and watch it to see if everything seems okay, there would be an audio pop round a few seconds into the video, but the rest of the audio is fine. In the original source audio, there is no pop, the volume levels are fine (only just hitting the green area), and so on. I export the audio using AAC (the same as source audio), 320kbps, 48000 hz, which is exactly the same as my source audio. I have also tried making the first few seconds of the audio fade in, as apparently that can help, but I'm still encountering a random pop five seconds into the video. I'm guessing this is a bug, as my levels and everything else are fine.

when i try to export a video in Media Encoder 2020 it gets stuck on "connecting to project" this happends to me when exporting from after effects and when importing an after effects file into media encoder. i tried using multiple projects and they all get stuck on "connecting to project". i used to be able to export videos with media encoder without any problems but now not anymore(i posted a picture down below of the  "connecting to project" im using Media Encoder 2020 and After Effects 2020   

Every time i render on my MacBook Pro M1 Max I'm having an issue where my audio interface is LOUDLY beeping through the left channel sporadically throughout the render. Only way to stop it is to uplug the audio interface. It's incredibly annoying, and bad for my studio monitor speakers. Anyone come across this?

Hi all,I'm trying to convert about 500 mp3 files to mp4 videos with a logo in the embedded. I can do this with Premiere Pro, just add the mp3 to my audio track and add the image to my video track. However, all mp3 files differ in length and there's an awful lot of them so this is a lot of work. I tried doing the same process in Adobe Media Encoder: I add an mp3 file, AME can convert it to a mp4 video just fine. In the export settings I add the Image overlay option and add my image. In the preview window it shows up just how I want it, but when I convert the video nothing shows up in the screen. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not supported? If so, does anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this? I think ffmpeg can do it, but I have no idea how that works and a lot of answers on the internet about that seem to be outdated or don't work. Letting someone else do it isn't an option either because new mp3 files get added weekly.Thanks a lot!

I am using Adobe Media Encoder. It gives me error "adobe media encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue" Please help me fix it. Thanks! 

Since upgrading to CS6,when I upload my videos to You Tube I keep getting a notice that I need to adjust my Quicktime settings to prepare videos for internet streaming. Which is easy enough with Quicktime, just chexk the prepare for fast streaming box, with iFFMPEG it also one of the custom choices available by checking the "write moov atom" box. I cannot find the equivilent in AME. Are there presets that do write the moov atom.

AME isn't working for me at all. I have tried uninstalling and installing it again updated it to the latest version but still, it just keeps connecting to Dynamic Link Server for anonymous time. Is there any solution apart from updating, I am importing an AE project file.

Is there any option like, after adobe media encoder exporting the videos file i want it to upload files to google drive. Usuallly i do it manually but i wanted to know is there any option like this? 

I was editing a project in After Effects CC 2019. Then I uploaded it to Media Encoder CC 2019 and the preview appeared as black and white, but the After Effects project is colorful. I used the Trapcode Suite plugin in the project. Sorry for the text, I don't speak English.

I need to force an interpret footage setting (field dominance) before encoding in a watch folder automatically. Any neat idea how? I know I can select clips in a queue and do them all together, but I need this workflow to be done automatically.

Hi everyone!I'm having problems with a project I'm trying to export. It's a roughly 4 hour long movie in 4K, which I've been rendering on my laptop for nearly 2 days now. It's using the .MP4 container and the H.264 codec. It got to 100% over the night, but for some reason my external HDD (where I have all the project files) got disconnected / bugged (it sometimes happens when it's writing too much data at once through the USB-C to USB-A dongle) and now Media Encoder rests at 100% for the project but never finishes. I re-insterted the hardrive and now it works like normal for everything else on the computer, but Media Encoder doesn't seem to finish the render even so. I've tried pausing and resuming the render but it doesn't seem to ever finish. I would hate to have to re-render the entire thing because it took me... well, 2 days. Is there anything I can do? There are temporary files generated in the export directory still, multiple gigabytes in size. Can I salvage anything from th

Apple recently announced support for Alpha with HEVC. This is great news. Does anyone know about it being available in Creative Cloud / Media Encoder. Looking forward to a lightweight / compressed codec that supports Alpha.  https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/506/

Hi everyone,I’m writing a script to automate rendering in Adobe and using addDLToBatch to add files to the render queue. However, if the output file already exists, rendering does not proceed, and I need to manually change the filename or remove the existing file.Here’s the code snippet I’m using:var frontend = app.getFrontend(); if (frontend) { frontend.addEventListener('onItemAddedToBatch', function (eventObj) { $.writeln('frontend.onItemAddedToBatch: success'); }); var batchItemSuccess = frontend.addDLToBatch( projFile.fsName, format, preset, comp.dynamicLinkGUID, file.fsName ); if (batchItemSuccess) { $.writeln('Successfully added: ' + myFile); var encoderHost = app.getEncoderHost(); if (encoderHost) { encoderHost.addEventListener('onItemEncodeComplete', function (eventObj) { $.writeln('Result: ' + eventObj.result); $.writeln('Source: ' + eventObj.sourceFilePath); $.writeln('Output: ' + eventObj.outputFil

Hi, I've created a project in PPro (Beta) v25.2.0 build 117. All my sequences, except one, renders H264 and completes using AME (Beta) 25.2.0 build 117. This sequence renders 100% , but fails to compile the finished file (Audio/aac and video/m4v). It just shuts down AME (Beta) and when I re-open the program the render que has reset and is ready to start again like nothing happened. Prosessor Intel(R) Xeon(R) w7-2495X 2.50 GHzInstalled RAM 192 GBSystemtype 64-bit OSNvidia RTX 4500 Ada Gen driver 553.50 PS The sequence renders just fine in PPro (Beta). Thanks for any help

For some reason, I have an untold number of files in my Media Encoder queue.I can't seem to delete them (select all - delete key) and I just keep getting Not Responding.Is there a way to start the program, clean, or force empty the queue?At this point, I can't use Media Encoder at all.JJ

Al momento de exportar un video en WEBM en Media Encoder la opcion de Alpha (que a lo que recuerdo en otras versiones era la de la foto) no tiene texto y no funciona. Quiero saber si aun funciona esta opcion ya que al momento de usarla ya sea seleccionada o no no funciona el ALPHA. (antes funcionaba)

Wenn ich aus Premiere eine Sequenz an ME weitergebe ist es (nicht immer) möglich, das Exporteinstellungsfenster zu öffnen. Dann ist auch ein Rendern der in die WS eingestellten Sequenz nicht möglich. Ich habe alle Standardvorschläge zur Abhilfe schon ohne Erfolg ausprobiert (MediaCache löschen, Neustarten etc.). Die Frage lautet, gibt es irgendwelche Kriterien für den Export von Sequenzen an ME, dass dann das Exporteinstellungsfenster in ME nicht geöffnet werden kann?

Hello everyone, I have a question, how can I use more memory and CPU usage during rendering in the media encoder? When I look at the activity monitor, they are not in high usage, even though everything is ok, I believe that my rendering could be faster if I used more processing power, but I don't know how to do this, can you help me? I will leave the PC specifications and images of the configurations below:Macbook ProM3 Pro18GB RAM*Premiere and media encoder are up to date and so is my operating system

Hello, great and powerful Adobe community.  I'm finding that no matter how I tweak my render settings, my video file sizes seem unreasonably large.  For example, today I rendered a 1hr Premier Pro edit using Media Encoder's YouTube 1080HD export preset, which produced a 1.8Gb file.  When I upload this 1.8Gb file to YouTube and then download it, the downloaded file is only 89Mb.  Seems like a huge disparity considering I'm using an export setting presumably optimized for YouTube specifically.  As you can see from my settings (below) I've got the target bitrates cranked down pretty low, to the point that the video quality already takes a noticable hit.  Any lower and the video quality is just poor.  What is YouTube doing to squish my 1.8Gb file down to 89Mb?  I notice a lot of 1080 video on YouTube looks crystle clear.  How can I acheive these small file sizes and still get acceptable video quality from Adobe Media encoder? - Preset Used:

Good afternoon. I'm struggling with Adobe Media Encoder 2025. I need to deliver multiple file formats of the same video. The way have handled this in the past is to have a watch folder containing 3 ingest presets that would recompress and rename each output.  AME has thrown an error in the past saying I could not use an ingest preset in a watch folder... I managed it anyway. Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to be working any more. This is the process I used before: Render demo.mov from AE to the watch folderAME would process demo.mov using 3 ingest presets to demo_LRES.mp4, demo_HRES.mp4, and demo_MEZ.mp4.I would then copy the 3 mp4s to the projects Delivery folder. I do this for dozens of projects a day, and manually renaming all of them would take up a considerable amount of time.  It would also open the door for naming erros.Does anyone know how to accomplish this without using ingest presets in watch folders?
