Questions

As the title suggests, how can I connect multiple computers (on the same network) and render a Premiere Pro project (faster)?I know this question has been asked before in different ways, but the answers don't exactly line up with what my situation is (i.e. they target After Effects projects).I have five machines that all support the latest versions of Adobe CC (2020). I would like to find a way to simply send a finished Premiere Pro project (with all of its assets and external comps including After Effects and Audition files) into something like a Watch Folder, except instead of only one computer rendering all five computers work together to render the project. I understand there are some ways to use frame splitting to render individual frames separately on different computers and then combine them in the end, but I have not been able to get this to work.I do not mind working with scripts or code, in fact, this setup will be linked together in a render server, so it would be great if t

I've recently been having a problem when rendering animations from after effects through media encoder. When exporting as H264 with all the default settings (match source - high bitrate etc.), the image looks pixelated at random points during the animation. Initially I thought I just needed to crank up the bitrate but that still didn't work. I think that this is to do with my pc somehow because colleagues haven't had any issues exporting with my after effects projects. Any ideas? I've attached my pc specs

Nothing opens Media Encoder! I've been uninstalling and installing and restarting my computer and trying again and again but either nothing happens or it takes ages to verify and then either stalls or nothing happens! How am I supposed to output from Character Animator if Media Encoder flat out refuses to open?  

This has got to be the worst uninstall process I have ever come across. I havent used any adobe software in over a year and I try to uninstall creative cloud. I can't because other apps depend on it. OK so i try to uninstall premiere and encoder and BAM i have to log in to my account to access creative cloud to even have the OPTION TO UNINSTALL. I dont remember what the f email i used, let alone my password to log in so I can get this junk off my computer. I finally get logged in only to have to wait for creative cloud to UPDATE before I can uninstall the dependencies just so i can uninstall creative cloud. Complete waste of time. I am never using another Adobe product again. I will find and support any alternatives to the crap that adobe has become in the last decade. My biggest turn off for this product was the requirement of creative cloud. Let me just install the crap I want and not download additional garbage to my pc just to take up space and give me ads about products I am not i

Hi. I've been stuck for hours in this issue.I would like to export video from Character Animator via Adobe Media Encoder but AME repeated saying "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted" even the file is there. I tried to clear the cache as advised in old thread but no luck. Here I attached the error message, so it would be much appreciated if anyone helps me. ---------* Character Animator (Beta): version 4.3 (build 29)* Adobe Media Encoder (Beta): version 15.3* OS: macOS Big Sur (M1)---------- Source File: /Users/myname/Documents/birthday-usethis/birthday-usethis.chproj- Output File: /Users/myname/Documents/birthday01.mov- Preset Used: Apple ProRes 4444 with alpha- Video:- Audio:- Bitrate:- Encoding Time: 00:00:0005/13/2021 03:49:34 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Could not read from the source.

Hi, I'm trying to export an animation made in After Effects in a WebM format using the VP9 codec. Whenever I try to render something, when the render comes near the end, it just freezes and doesn't progress. I don't get any error message or anything else, but I have to force quit Media Encoder otherwise it'll just stay like that. I'm using Media Encoder and After Effects latest versions, but I've had this problem for the past few months.Windows 10, 64bit.Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello everyone,So in Media Encoder I've got my presets regarding Youtube upload + watched folders.My youtube title + description is always the same, except the dates. I wanted to automate the whole process with a text replacement so found a file responsible for the preset .epr and automator can update the dates for the new Youtube title upload... The problem is even in Media Encoder it shows the new date - Yt title when I just go to Preset Settings but once i'm encoding and uploading a video with this preset... the old date is being shown on youtube. Is there any way to fix it? Maybe a hidden file responsible for this... Clearing cache / temp files / and restarting Media Encoder doesn't help. What could I do?  So after saving .epr it will be 28.05 - when I check it out right away, but the actual youtube upload stuck with an old date 27.05  Thank you in advance, any tip will help  

Hello,I have a bunch of XAVC S 4K 4:2:2 10 bit. Some in 24 fps, some 60 fps and some 120 fps. I want to transcode this material to Apple Pro Res 422. Well, I made a queue list with all my material and start my job. After 3 files my computer freezes. I was using Media Encoder version 14.5. Maybe the new version (15.2) works better with those files? No it does not. Tried another queue list and the computer freezes after the second clip. Then I made a test. Transcoded a couple o MXF from Canon C300 Mark III and a couple of R3D from Red. Works fine. The problem is make a queue with XAVC S 4k. Does anybody know why my queue list with XAC S 4k are not working? What am I doing? Transcoding one clip per time. Some large files (more than 3gb) Media Encoder freezes. For these large files I am doing it in Prelude. Am I missing something? What should I do? Is there a "right" worflow for queue my files in Media Encoder? Maybe is my computer. Built it last year and

As the title says, my computer seems to be crashing completely whenever I try rendering a video. Last week it would crash when rendering a 50 minute video so I thought it had been a memory issue, but now it seems to crash with videos as short as 3 minutes. The only solution I've found so far is to render in Software Only. Pretty sure my GPUs are fine though, I've updated them to the latest version recently. My computer has an Nvidia 1060 GTX GPU and Intel i7 CPU, in case anyone is interested in specs. Also, anyone know where I can render this externally, like a render farm for Premiere Pro projects? Need this urgently so I can finish a series of videos before the weekend ends.

Hello, My project is 16x9  1920x1080, widescreen letterboxed. (I crop 12% from top and bottom during editing, I know it's 'fake' but gotta fake it till you make it) The final export is for bluray disc, which is 1920x1080 Question:At the time of exporting in AME, should I crop the black bars off and export as 1920 x 820 to help save encoding and bitrate processing and then when I use the bluray software (AuthWorks6) it ads the black bars back on?   H265 will allow the aspect ratio change to 1920x820 and make one video/audio file mp4 combo.  Only one pass VBR.  OR Just export the whole enchilada with the black bars using H264, then I can get dual pass.    The original footage is SD, about 26 mbps.  H265 only alows target max of 20mbps, where H264 allows a higher range to cover my footage. Whatcha think of all this? Thanks!Letty

I made the 15.2 update this morning, and after this time, I can't export from After Effects, neither open a .aep file from ME.ME 15.2 is running in the tasks, but is not open. In the windows tasks, "no response" I have to shutdown ME...I installed again the last working version but it's the same...I spent 3 hours with this problem...(I also restarted my computer 3 times)Wich stable version can I install ? 

I have my media encoder app up to date (v15.2), all my drivers up to date, everything is as it should be. Yet a few weeks ago I constantly have issues when trying to create proxies from Premiere. I work on a Windows 10 System. 16g RAM, GTX1660Ti Nvidia, intel core i7. I´ve tried with very different cameras and the same Error is always there. I´ve switched storage disks. Even formatted my whole PC and nothing seems to work. Every time I try to create proxies of a stack of 20 videos or more approximately the error always comes up. Sometimes the program crash, sometimes it just freezes forcing me to close it and sometimes the error pops and the program close. I really think I´ve tried everything. I´m not rendering anything crazy long or heavy, just quick 10 seconds shots most of the time from a Sony A7III and still not working.

Hello, all. I have a 5760x5760 3D-360 timeline with a single 8192x8192 image in it. When I try to export as HEVC (H.265) using AME's software renderer, I get this error. I'm on an 18-core Intel 7980XE, and RTX3090 with 24GB VRAM. Out of memory is highly unlikely. I've had export issues for the last couple of years. The only way to get high-res HEVC out has been to export a master and use ffmpeg. AME 15.1 Build 42. ------------------------------------------------------------- Encoding Time: 00:00:0005/26/2021 01:59:41 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Out of memory.Failed to create encoder.Writing with exporter: HEVC (H.265)Writing to file: \\?\E:\XXX.mp4Writing file type: HEVCAround timecode: 00;00;00;00Component: HEVC (H.265) of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: 7------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,I have some Sony's XAVC S and want to convert it to Apple Pro Res 422. Some files are in 23, 976 fps and some are in 60 fps. All the files are in 4K. Tried a couple of times to convert it in Media Enconder, but it crash every single time. Fisrt time working with this codec in 422 10 bit. I made a batch list and it crashed in the third clip. Then tried one clip per time and it also crash. Does anybody know why media enconder can't finish this job?Thanks a lot

hello, when previews and rendering in media encoder, darker areas of the video seem to glitch and show colourful horizontal lines.  i have attached a photo for reference; i'm not sure how to fix this. please help asap!!

Hello everyone,Recently I need to upload many .pdfs in a video form. I prepared my workflow in After Effects which has 64 jpeg files (pdf to jpeg) - the composition 10 mins... My problem is that so often are fewer jpeg files after all. So the question is it possible to establish auto (time?) adjustment in Media Encoder... That the software could after detecting for example missing files just adjust the video length? Or something similar? I set some Watch Folders which work perfectly fine, but adjusting the length in Media encoder it's time-consuming... Daily I'm working on +- pdfs... Is there any chance how to solve it?   That's set by me: The missing file starts here: 

Meu arquivo exporta, renderiza e ao finalizar, vou na pasta e o video esta comrrompido. O que fazer? 

I use media encoder to upload videos to youtube but since the update when i try to upload videos i have been getting an error that says check internet connection. And i got this error before but it has never been this consistent i have been trying to upload for the past week trying to fix this but i cant figure it out i reinstalled media encoder, reset settings, signed in and out of youtube none of those worked does anybody know how to fix this.

Encoding in h.264, tried every other options.If VBR 2 pass : no problem.If VBR 1 Pass : the audio doesn't goes to the end, it stops abruptly at 5% to the end of the clip.In our company all premiere pro and AME exports do the same thing (4 computers 2 mac, 2 pc) Am I the only one ? 😕😕  

Hi everyone, I've been struggling with this issue for a while. I create looping animations that are generally viewed in browsers. When I create them in AE they loop perfectly, both video and audio are great. But when I render the movie in AME and then play it on loop, there's like a buffering pause at the beginning of each loop, ruining the smooth playback. I've tinkered around with settings, have searched high and low for a solution but there doesn't appear to be one? Am i wasting my time with this or is it possible to eliminate this? Even if I have to use "other software" like VLC or FFMPEG? I just want to know if I'm wasting my time trying to find a fix that just doesn't exists? I've seen loads of complaints about it online, but so far, none of the suggested solutions have worked. Thanks millions for any tried and tested solutions.

Hi there, kind of a weird issue I've been having lately. I've had some deliverables for clients lately that call for specific bitrates in the specs. But encoding certain types of videos, specifically graphics-heavy pieces with lots of block colors, despite selecting h.264 with CBR of 15mbps or something, when reading the file in VLC or Quicktime, it shows only around 2mbps. It's almost like it's compressing it to a lower bitrate than I set it at, because a higher bitrate isn't necessary for the video. Any ideas? In this example, I'm encoding from a ProRes 422 HQ clip, to H.264 MP4, using CUDA, on an ASUS 3070 TUF.

I am just using AME and I am new, why AME doesn't support Dolby/DTS codecs?

I exported a video with media encoder and deleted the project file fr character Animator and now I don't know how to get it back and i even don't know how to remove the black background in after effects of exported file i just want my project file back so that i can put a background but i don't know what to do now please help!!

I can't get it to work. I have a problem with opening and using Media Encoder. I di reinstall app, it didn't help.
