Questions

Hi!I've been asked to set up our farm so our video guys can render/export from Premiere through Deadline.My understanding is that to able to render Premiere sequences on a farm through Deadline you have to go through Media Encoder.So I've installed AME on a test machine, with its license, tested, launching ME locally and worked as expected.Then we did a test submitting through Deadline and we get a AMEServer Offline error. On the Deadline side everything seems correct, I've double checked with their support, in fact if I run manually the same command that Deadline calls on the test machine I get the same error: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2021>ame_webservice_console.exeLaunching web services.  Use --help for options.Starting HTTP service on ip 127.0.0.1, port 8080History will be retained for the most recent 100 jobs.Creating AMEServerAMEServer OFFLINE! I've installed both win and web services as described here ( https://sta

The title says it all. I'm having this weird issue where I have a 78mb mp4 file and I want to lower it to 2mb by lowering the bitrate but the final output only show changes in the video quality but the size is the same? What is happening? Thanks in advance.

One day I'm creating proxies for my videos to able to smoothly edit in Premiere and the next I've lost the version of AME to do so. SO, I unfortunately had to start using Premiere 2021, and NOW the version of AME that works with that will NOT complete the process to create proxies for all of my clips. WHY?! How can I get the version of AME back that worked with Premiere 2019? And what can I do to help my issues with 2021 version of both programs? I just updated them now, so let's see if AME 15.1 completes the proxy creation process...

I admit my system specs are low for motion graphics (i7, 2.60 GHz, 6 cores; GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and 16 Gb of ram on a Windows 10 Home build 18363) but even so, rendering a video (from After Effects) that has no 3D, no cameras, no lighting effects, no 3rd party plugins takes forever. A full HD project that lasts little under 17 minutes took nearly 13 hours (!) to render. And all I'm doing is keying out a green screen and animating mainly text layers. Rather shocking I'd say.

With 15.0,  I could convert my sample test file of 1080p at 50mbit in 3:10. The GPU would run about 80% and CPU at 5%.  The file is about 7.6GB and 20 minutes long. With 15.1,  it slows it down to just about half 6:03. The GPU would run between 25-70 and CPU at 20-60%. Big step backwards on the speeds. Guessing the Intel sync optimizations messed with the Nvidia ones.  

Media Encoder refuses to render this premier pro project. The first attempt was interrupted by the following- Encoding Time: 00:17:0004/11/2021 11:38:34 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Export ErrorError completing render.Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\E:\matilda\Lexi.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00:54:28:11 - 00:54:28:22Component: H.264 of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: 3I tried with h.264, h.265 and quicktime, all failed. i poked around online and fix this by switching to software encoding, which led me to the current error, which has popped up regardless of the export settings, software/hardware encoding, or drive that i'm exporting to.Export ErrorError compiling movie.Disk Full.Exporter returned bad result.Writing with exporter: QuickTimeWriting to file: E:\matilda\Lexi-p1.movAround timecode: 00:03:12:02Component: QuickTime of type ExporterSelector: 17Error code: 4H

Desde el dia de ayer me figura el siguiente mensaje: AEGP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Adobe Media Encoder no está instalado. Descárguelo e instálelo para utilizar esta función. Vaya a https://creative.adobe.com/apps (5027 :: 12) y si lo tengo instalado y actualizado

I've started working a lot with videos recorded during zoom meetings and also recorded using screen-capture software.Premiere and Encoder seem to have a difficult time exporting these files. It will begin the encoding process, then at some point it will just either freeze-up or just fail. Encoder does seem a bit buggy since last couple of  updates as I've had some other issues. But with these zoom/Screen capture videos, the issue is almost 100%. I recently encoded about 24 hours of AVI videos to mp4 with no issues, and some of those files were 12 hours long. I'm trying not to just use Software Only encoding to see if that helps.

Hi forum,I'm using AME CS6 and would like to convert a MOV file to MP4. My format options are F4V, FLV, H.264, H.264 (legacy), and MP3. I tried to export using H.264 and ended up with a 3GP file. Is it possible to export a MP4 file using one of my 5 format options? Or are there additional steps that I'll need to take? If so, what are they?Thanks for your help!

Adobe Media encoder 15.1 version render fault

After a long research, I couldn't fix this bug so I can't work. Long videos seem don't encoded with Media Encoder after hours of process, with short video it does.Disinstalled the latest version and installed an older v. (14.9), but I suggest you trying to fix this bug who avoids people from working. Other users are in the same situation.

Everything looks good in the sequence, but when I export some shots are upside down for some reason. There are no FX on the shots. No idea what to do. 

Hi everybody,When I decide to export my work in media encoder, from After effects, it doesn't work.I tried to drag the file in but same problem and same message : impossible to open the project.I have the last version of After effects and Media Encoder : 18.0 and 15.0And I work on a MacBook Pro M1 13"Thanks for your help.

Hi! Ever since I updated to media encoder 15.0 it simply does not work. It crashes every time before I even can start rendering. I've tried reinstalling both AE and ME as well as testing out older versions of ME but then I AE does not find it and gives me error message that I don't have any media encoder installed even though I do. I have a new and powerful computer and made sure everything is up to date. ME was working just fine before the update. Please fix this Adobe, or I shall have to look for another software. 

Simple question but which is very important.Is it possible to close After Effect while the rendering of a project has been exported to Media Encoder and is still in progress?I would like to be able to close After effect to work in PhotoShop (After effect eats all my rams) without losing the current rendering (which takes several hours).

I've been asked to render a video at 20 Mbps. When I render the video with AME CC2019 and specify a constant bitrate of 20 Mbps the output actually averages 6.2 Mbps according to MediaInfo. When I specify a constant birate of 30 Mbps the output is actually 8.8 Mbps according to MediaInfo. I can understand why using a VBR target birate of 20 Mbps could give less than the specified amount (and it does) due to the video having simple to encode sections, but surely specifying CBR should render a video as close to the specified bitrate as possible, no matter how easy or difficult the content is to compress. When I encode CBR I use profile main, level 4.1, H264, video res 1080x1920 (portrait format), 29.97 fps. How can I make it render the video as h264 at approx 20 Mbps avg?Would I need to render it in some other format and then use handbrake or something to make the video for delivery 20 Mbps avg? 

Hi,I've just updated all my adobe softwares to the latest versions of each, and I recently updated MacOS to the latest version too. So I'm all up to date with everything. I'm on a MacbookPro 2016 that actually handles the distance pretty well, until now apparently (but I wouldn't blame the hardware here, as I had no such problems last week)Since then, Media Encoder has been behaving in a very disturbing manner : Takes a very long while to load simple and light projects (a few minutes). But what's even more annoying, is that even after the render is finished, the Macbook's memory keep filing up whithout stopping, even though AE and Media encoder are idle.And at some point, the Mac App window appears asking me to forcequit an app because the computer's memory is completely full. Is there an explanation for this ?please fix this quick because it's not only anoying, I also LOOSE A LOT OF TIME trying to have very simple videos out.Happy yo give more details if needed.Thanks,Alexis

Am I missing something? How do I see how long AME spent rendering a file? Do I really need to scroll through the records of every single thing I've ever rendered to see this one stat? In AE, that number is right there in front of me in the Render Queue. Is there a way to see this info in the Render Queue in AME? I'd like to know how long it took to render an AE comp so I can decide if I need to make changes to speed up the next render. Seems like a simple request.

Hi all, I'm hoping that someone would be able to help me. Whenever I add a composition from AE to ME, the composition appears in ME but ME can't connect to the dynamic link server. It works once in a while (today I've tried 13 times and 1 composition is encoding). I've never had this issue in the last 2 years of working with AE and ME, it's just been in the last 2 weeks that this process has become very time-consuming and frustrating!  I've tried everything that has been in the forums about this issue but they haven't helped unfortunately. I am working on AE 2021 version 18.0.0  and ME 2021 version 15.0.My Mac specs are:macOs Catalina version 10.15.7iMac (late 2012)Processor 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5Memory 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3Startup disk Macintosh HD - DataGraphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1 GB Any help you be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

Hi  I want to speed up my editing and rendering, 4k - 6k foteage, i need to know where is the probleme, wich parts of my PC i need to change or in the system, because no body is giving me the right answer. I had problems with playback, but with proxies now it's working just fine, but i have now serious problems with Media Encoder rendering, it stops in the middle and it Freez + it is slow, so i have to do it again from the beginning.I work from a SSD (Sandisk) External Hard drive, but no big diffrence when it comes to rendering issue with media encoder This is the details information of my PC Processor: IntelR Core TM i7-9700F CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHzRam: 32.0 GBSystem Type: 64-bitNIVIDA GeForce GTX 1650    

When I go to render a video from After Effects in Media Encoder, it pops up with an error message saying "After Effects: AEGP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature." I do have Media Encoder downloaded and installed and I have had no issues in the past year like this, but it just randomly started happening. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Media Encoder.

Hi there I want my money back, AME not rendering my video, just in h.264. I want my money back, seriously, and plan to use daVinci for editing instead of my experience in Adobe workspace. This is over my patience!!! First, I need to be free QA tester of Photoshop and now for Preimere and AME. I want my money back!!! I am very unsatisfied to use Adobe products for last years more and more times.

I still have work to do in premiere so I need to restart. Is it possible to restart you computer and have your queue be maintained? I remember in the past I pressed "save queue", restarted, but that caused all of the exports to fail.

Media Encoder renders video footage as a solid green screen from After Effects. Animated graphics render correctly, but not the video. It renders fine from Premiere Pro, but not from After Effects. Please help, and thanks!

Im running a 2015 iMac 5k retina with 32gb Ram. All software up to date. When exporting from Adobe Premiere Pro via Media encoder the Colours are over saturated with too much contrast. See top image. When exporting directly from APP using the Export button (as opposed to Queue) the render is correct and as is in the timeline. See bottom image. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
