I have always edited while I am exporting videos. Now, for some reason, whenever I set something to export in Media Encoder and i go back to premiere, every time I press space to pause or play whatever video im working on, it also does it on Media Enconder. This has stopped me from working on premiere because i keep pausing and starting again my export. Anybody else experiences this?

My Premiere Pro sequence is 2160 x 1215.When I export to Media Encoder, it shows 2160 x 2014.Why is this happening? Premiere Pro Version: 25.0.0 (Build 61)Media Encoder Version: 25.0 (Build 54)MacOS Version: Sonoma 14.6.1Computer: Macbook Pro 2023 M2 Pro Screenshots Attached

I've had this issue for some time - throughout V24 and now V25.If I export a 30 sec sequence file from Premiere as ProRes, it takes seconds.If I send the same sequence to Media Encoder, it takes up to 10 minutes to encode as ProRes.I'm using smart rendering, which as I said works great exporting directly from Premiere.But in Media Encoder it takes forever.I've compared my settings in both ME and Premiere and they're identical.30 second commercial, not a problem exporting from Premiere but I also have 1 hour programs that I wouldlike to be exporting from ME so I can keep working in Premiere.Incidentally, both Premiere and ME encode h264 with no problems. It seems to be ProRes in ME that's the issue.Thoughts? Studio M2 Ultra24 core64 GB RAM 

When I queue media from Premiere to Media Encoder, Media Encoder imports the project to the queue BUT redirects the project path to the Temp folder on my C drive. Additionally, the moment Media Encoder imports the file and adds it to the render queue, a new source prproj file is created in the same Temp folder. This new project file is an exact duplicate of my actual project file that I had sent over to Media Encoder. Because of this, not only is my C drive being filled up with excessive, unnecessary prproj files, but my renders in Media Encoder are noticeably slower now because it's sourcing from the wrong drive. There are no settings in either program turned on that would cause this (to my knowledge at least). I do not use watch folders. I do not use dynamic link. I have triple-checked all Cache output settings in both programs, including the project settings and sequence settings in Premiere. Everything is as it should be and, more importantly, how it's been for every

Hello, Media encoder  (standalone) applies a lut to EXR files when encoding to MOV. I am colour managing them from other applications and do not want this applied. I want image in > image out. Is this possible?

Hi everyone I work at a film school where we shoot on a mixture of cameras, but mostly ARRI. ARRI Cameras have a wealth of metadata in their original files but it all disappears when trancoding material in Media Encoder (say from ProRes 4444 to ProRes (anything)). Yes there's a metadata option that supposedly preserves all - but it does no such thing. I'm not expecting media encoder to necessarily keep everything (like lens used, shutter angle etc - though that would be great) - but it doen't even keep basic gamma info - like whether it was shot in linear or Log... Perhaps there are new features in the Premiere Pro 2025 / Media Encoder 2025 offerings to this end? Or is there something I'm missing? If not it seem strange with Adobe's apparent desire for more professional colour managment workflows within Premiere that this is a bit of a gaping gap. Any pointers gratefully received (adding metadata manually file by file or afterwards is unfortunately not feasible) Tha

Hi.I'm trying to render out a batch of files from AME, but they keep getting stuck at 100%, and never finishing.AME creates 3 files, a video file, an audio file and the container, but never merges them into one complete file.Everything seems to render normally if l render directly from Premiere Pro, but as l have a ton of files l need to render out for archiving l'd love to be able to queue it up..My render settings are:- H.264/mp4- Video: 1920x1080 (1,0), 25 fps, Progressive - Audio: AAC, 160 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo - Bitrate: VBR, 2 pass, Target 10.00 Mbps, Max 12.00 Mbps - The source was deinterlacedSource files are P2 media; DVCPRO HD.I am rendering on:iMac 21,5" late 2012OS X 10.8.5CPU: Intel i7 - 3,1GHZ Quad CoreGPU: Nvidia GeForce GT650M 512MBHD: 251GB SSD / 100 GB free.

Bonjour, J'ai remarqué que Media Encoder refuse d'activer le codage matériel lorsque je tente d'exporter mes travaux. Le logiciel m'indique que mon matériel ne prend pas en charge cette fonctionnalité. Hors, j'ai bien une RTX 4070 avec plus de 5000 coeurs CUDA, un moteur AV1... J'ai aussi un processeur AMD Ryzen 7 7700X et 32Go de RAM en DDR5. Mes pilotes sont à jour, alors pourquoi Media Encoder refuse-t-il d'activer le codage matériel plutôt que le codage logiciel qui est particulièrement lent ? J'ai tenté un export en H.264 pour une résolution de 1080p. Merci,Eros.

Recently installed all updates my subscribed apps and they are all terrible. Take ages to load and appear to have been completelky recoded so really hard to impossible to use. Anyone else having similar problems?  

Hello,suddenly, during this month, we've found Media Encoder that doubled rendering times.Same video, same timeline... before summer we've completed rendering in halt time. The only difference that I can see is the GPU: actually not working at 100% (variable from ~30/60%), but before summer we can always see 100% constantly. There was released some updates that has modified something in Media Encoder? My PC:HP Z2 Mini G9 Mini PC Workstation i7-13700 2.1GHz RAM 32GB-SSD 1TB NVMe TLC + NVIDIA Quadro T400 4GB + Adobe Media Encoder v.25.0 build 54 Thanks! 

Since I updated to the newest version of After Effects and Media encoder, AE won't send files to Media encoder anymore. I'm working on a windows pc.  So whenever I'm trying to export a video from after effects via media encoder it won't work (same for Premiere pro). I tried dragging it into media encoder, opening the project in media encoder it self. The problem when it's finally in media encoder is that it won't connect to the project anymore.  Sometimes it works whenever I change the output from H264 to something else and back. Then it starts connecting, this is a work around that has like 25% succes rate. Most of the times it worked was when I made a new project in AE25 and not converting an old file from 24. I also tried exporting it via Media encoder on antoher pc, but with no succes. It has the same problem. Is there anyway I can fix this? I have tried multiple solutions I found on the Internet / Adobe website but with no succes. The only thing worki

I tried exporting a project at H.264 High Quality 1080p HD and I kept getting this message. Tried changing the preset for a while and as of now none that I chose worked either. Tried also making the output destination the disk with more space or I tried finding the preferences of the export

I am hoping to use Media Encoder to run watch folders with the pupose of standardizing all content to MXF or other similar format.   Currently the "Captions" tab on export settings has all options greyed out.  Have tried changing the export preset with no luck.I found an older post about a similar issue and an Adobe employee referenced (Beta) 23.5.0.16 had a fix, but that is no longer available for download.   So far I have tried 25.0 and 23.6.8, same issue on both.  Does anyone have a known good version or tested workflow for this? Thanks!

Hey guys,  I've been editing 4K (Sony A7SIII) Footage on my 3rd gen i5 and gtx 1060 3GB. It's not as bad as many of you will think haha. Anyways, today I encountered with the problem I edited videowith simple transitions and few segments where i used 4K assets from Acidbite such as (dust, scratches and 16mm gate overlay). Render was looking fine when system was balanced with around 60% CPU and 20% GPU, when render passed the "difficult" segment it became faster, because other than that whole video is just zoom in and zoom outs with sound effects. so since it became faster after that heavy segment i thought it would finish in hour or so and after some time im seeing this(image provided) this type of segment where there is nothing going on just clips laying around and have little zoom in & outs never had problem before.Does any of you have idea what can i do in this situation?!Premiere pro vers. 23.1.0 (build 86)Encoder vers. 23.0.1 (build 1)CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM

Bonjour, depuis la mise à jour After Effects 22.0 et Média Encoder 22.0 je n'arrive plus à générer le média depuis AE. En effet, AME se connecte bien aux serveurs Adobe (1ère phase) mais tente d'ouvrir le projet en vain (seconde phase) ! Il semble que ce soit l'ajout d'un élément C4D dans le projet qui bloque AME. En effet, le test avec un projet "simple" fonctionne correctement. J'ai réinstallé l'ensemble (AME, AE et Cinema 4d Lite) mais j'ai toujours le même problème. Si j'ouvre AME seul (sans AE), l'ouverture du même projet "charge" une instance d'AE en mémoire (visible dans le gestionnaire de tâches) mais celle-ci ne se "ferme" pas même après l'arrêt d'AME (signe d'une crash app ?) Merci de votre aide. 

Hi, I really have little understanding of this process. But, i have video downloaded that is not recognised in premiere pro. it is vp09, or something. when i am trying to use encoder to give me a usable version with no loss of quality, it creates a black video with perfect audio. i have tried tweaking all sorts of settings to match, but, no cigar. what am i doing wrong? it is a 25fps, 1920x1080p video. not sure if you all need more information? but, i will be studying this whole area further to gain understanding, going forward. 

Just updated to Premiere and Encoder 2025.  When rendering a video out using Media Encoder, the "2nd" pass never "seems" to complete.  In other words, as you observe the progress of the rendering in the small window (and rendering timeline), visual progression seems to freeze or stop half way through the process.HOWEVER.... in looking at the location where the video was rendering to, the finished video did complete, and looks fine.Is this a BUG?  the normal behavior previously allowed the 2nd rendering pass to be viewed, and the rendering amount of time would constantly update.  I've done several videos, and the issue was same for both.

Is it possible to tell Media Encoder to add a file at the end of the current file being rendered?Basically, I want to render a dozen files, and attach a generic message to the end of each one.I batch process many MANY files and being able to add a generic info message to the end of each Product video would be mighty helpful. BTW - I am also looking for a way to ADD an audio file to a video that has NO audio. Again, I have many MANY video files that have no audio, and I want to add the same audio file to all of them in a batch. Thanks! 

Hello, I am trying to render/export a 18288 x 57 animation for a stadium fascia board but I can not get the size to go past 16384.Is there a way to export this at the correct settings? Is it my computer that the problem?I was shown a file that was an H264/mp4 with the correct settings so it can be done. iMac Pro 2017Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB5120 x 2880 DisplayThanks for your help!

I'm trying to convert ProRes 4444 with alpha to a HEVC H265 with Alpha. I'm on an M1 Mac Studio (running Ventura 13.2.1). I've seen people say "hardware encoding" needs to be selected in Media Encoder (23.2.1), but it is not selectable. I've tried this conversion using Premiere and in also Mac finder using "Encode Selected Files"; everything seems to work correctly, but when I test the finished HEVC in AE or Pr, they never have alpha channels. Just black where there should be transparency. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
