Questions

I know there are tons of threads out there that ask this question, but a lot of them seem older and don't have proper answers.When rendering my files from Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018, it always uses my CPU entirely for rendering the finished product. This takes a really long time, as I have an i5-6500 (Quad Core clocked at base 3.2Ghz), so files can take between their own length to twice the video length to render.When I select to use the Mercury Playback Engine, which explicitly states it uses my GPU to render, I still see 100% CPU usage with the standard idle GPU usage I get (0-2%). Not only is it selected as my Renderer in ME, but it's also selected as the default Renderer in Premiere Pro's project settings.Sony Vegas Pro, the competitor to Premiere/AE/ME, renders on the GPU moreso than Adobe's products do. If the answer to this question is "not all effects render on the GPU, at the peak end of 2017 mind you (not 1998), then I have to sincerely raise an eyebrow how only cutting a vid

I'm trying to use media encoder to export a video ,but this error showed up and I don't know how to fix this issue. I try exporting a few times and redo the clip at the timecode shown but still error. Export ErrorError compiling movie.Export ErrorError completing render.Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\C:\Users\Desktop\20210209_145205.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00:09:45:10Component: H.264 of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: -2147287036 Please, anyone, HELP!

Is there a speed difference between Premiere Pro export and Adobe media encoder. Exporting speed is equal or not?

Hi, I have recently experienced problems rendering with Media Encoder. I wanted to render an After Effects project in the format H.264, it has always worked for me. But today it started rendering and when it was almost ready it stopped and said error by the name of the file and when I clicked it, it opened a text that showed the information of my video (name, where I was exporting it, etc) but nothing else, then I tried again but the same thing happened but now the text was empty. I changed the renderer from Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only but it kept saying error. I don't know what to do and I need to export that video with H.264 because I upload them to social media.

Hi I tried outputting 4 second film made in latest photosho and I had to make gif then put that in media encoder manually.Direct link to media encoder was not working, even tried draging psd file in although it output a mp4it did not do it correctly... Anyone else finding this bug

I'm attempting to export a video for YouTube at 1280x720. Source media is 60fps. I've exported at 60fps & 24fps, I get the same result. Here is a look at the current export settings in addition to the sequence settings. Also attached are screenshots of the media before and after export. What am I doing wrong?

I've been using the Adobe Creative Suite for years and while Media Encoder has had its problems in the past with rendering times, I have never seen anything like this.A 1080p, 60FPS, 1 Pass with only 48Khz Stereo is taking 3x the video length on an Intel 9900K system with a TITAN RTX graphics card. Something is very wrong with Media Encoder.It's only using 10% of my GPU, 10% of my CPU and 33% of my memory at a very cool 56 Celcius.  None of those is a bottleneck to render time.  I'm not asking for help, I'm informing you that something in Adobe Media Encoder is broken. 5m = 15m render time.1hr= 3hr render time. Fix it.

Hi! I am trying to take my file from After Effects and usng Media Encoder, make it into an MP4 file, when I do this is produces a 3gp file, which I see is similar to an MP4, but the quality is absolutely terrible compared to the animation in AF. This video is going to be used for business purposes online and MP4 is the most convenient, so I do not have wiggle room in changing the file type. Any help would be appreciated in how to use the encoder correctly.  ThanksCameron

Where is the "include alpha channel" option? Please help, because I always remember this option being present in the media encoder.

my files for a premier composition were where the media encoder put them (/private/var/folders/nt/zwm5699941v663qzn7479q200000gn/T/Untitled Project_AME/Comp 1.mov). today I woke up to finish the project and all the files in there, are gone. Any ideas? I have tried the usual searching options ! 😞

I'm exporting a H.264 video with a solid red background however I noticed it was exporting slightly darker. I tried changing a few options and discovered the problem was hardware encoding, and using software encoding gave me the correct color. I want to continue using hardware encoding as it's faster than software, so is there something that can be done to fix the color inaccuracy?

Hello there!  I've been having this issue for a while.  I do weekly analysis videos of movies, and to better help my workflow, I cut up the entire movie into chunks, export those subsequences, and then import them into a new project that I will edit my video into (it's never the same project as the one I cut up the whole movie in).I make the project, set ingest setting to "Create Proxies", Adobe Media Encoder opens when I import the files, and up to half of them would just fail for seemingly no reason.The error message included in these is:"An error was encountered while writing the output file.  The output destination could not be found.  Check that the output directory still exists.  If the output directory is on a network or external device, check that the connection is active."My output destination is the same for the files that work and those that don't, and is entirely internal.  The size of the file doesn't seem to have any barring on whether it suc

Hi while i am rendering a video, i noticed that adobe not use my cpu and gpu efficiently. is it normal? or do i have to do something? 

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder 2020 (14.5 Build 48) on Windows 10. After few clicks Adobe Media Encoder freezes for a while.

I have Ryzen 5800x, RADEON 5600XT Render in Premiere Pro it works. But Media Encoder didn't work with opencl. No reponse. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

I could raise my hand here, just one more among the many, asking what the hell is wrong with media encoder... to be met with the predictable questions regarding my end, or my system, or my project etc etc etc.... I've had it.. a quick google search will show thread upon thread upon thread of frustrated users. And adobe continues with the generic stupid replies...  The issue is on YOUR end adobe!!!! For those interested,.,. Im rendering 10 - 15 second clips,... and they're taking upto an hour each!!! using adobe 2020, rendering  from after effects. Just HD, no external plugins,.. and my system is well and truly up to task.. Ive purged AE, everything up to date. etc etc etc..  Surely,, Surely I'm not alone in reasonably expecting more from adobe support and development...? this issue goes back a long long way.. If the adobe subscription model isn't enough to move many away from adobe,, this is surely will. (these render times are now lite

Any one esle having this issue? I updated with 2021 updates and things are worse. I'm using media encoder and it failed once. A video that normally takes 30mins to render is freaking out. It says an hour and 30. Then speeds up and slows down. Who know's how long it's going to take and now I have to sit here and baby sit it. My computer was built for editing, yet I'm in a constant battle with Adobe to get through a project.    [Edited and moved by moderator to Media Encoder forum]

Hi!Is it possible to edit multiple videos at once?This is what I need: I work in an office and we daily make several videos. Since we are all in homeoffice now the videos are a bit too big (around 1.7gb). I need a program that edits them automatically with preset options so that I just upload the videos into the program, do some other work meanwhile and as soon the program has finished I have edited videos. Is that possible with ME?Kind regards,Richard

I'm working for a theater company that is editing several one act plays for a festival. The source footage is .h264 (1080p, 4 Mbps). We have multiple editors who are each cutting a play. When they're done, they're exporting their final cut to .h264 (8 Mbps). Then, the plan was for me to put their .h264 final cuts into a sequence and export again to .h264 (8 Mbps).Are we losing quality each time we export to .h264?Since the final output will likely be viewed on computers and consumer TVs, the quality loss may be insignificant (even at these medium-low bit rates)?If not, I could put the editors' actual edited sequences into a single sequence and export that (so that the export is referencing the source footage).

ME isn't working when launched as a stand alone app. When being used through Premiere it works. What is wrong? Is it the new Windows update.

Hi,I need some help, I have just download the new Adobe CC and now I wish I had not! I am having a problem with rendering out After Effects (AE) files in Adobe media encoder (AME). AME is not linking to the file correctly and when I render out a 1080p video in AME it is rendering it out as 480x270 even if I select match source nothing changes. If I set the size in AME physically then the video is the correct size but the quality is terrible.The composition settings in AE are set to 1080p and I have been rendering things out like this until this recent download with not problems. I am currently going back to Adobe CC (15.3) to see if that will fix my issue. This is a screen shot of the AE composition setting Please help this is really F@#king me over and super annoying.Thanks

This is deepley frustrating. Every time I try to render something out I get this message "Adobe Media Encoder Error. Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unepected error and cannot continue." I've also tried manually adding source in media encoder and i get the message at the bottom of the import after effects composition "The project could not be opened". I have macOS Big Sur version 11.1 only have my macbook a month. To anyone out there please help me and thank you!

Every time I try to render some edited clips from After Effects CC 2018 to Media Encoder 2018, I get the error message:  - Encoding Time: 00:02:4902/24/2021 06:52:07 AM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie. Render Error Render returned error. Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\C:\Users\Lorelei & Marissa\Downloads\videos\edits\it to joker pt.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00;00;12;19 - 00;00;12;27Rendering at offset: 12.646 secondsComponent: H.264 of type ExporterSelector: 9Error code: - 1609629695 ------------------------------------------------------------ - Encoding Time: 00:03:5402/24/2021 07:05:44 AM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie. Render Error Render returned error. Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?\C:\Users\Lorelei & Marissa\Downlo

I am exporting a video made in after effects from media encoder. But every time a export a video it's duration gets increased due to which the video's speed gets decreased and it gets weird.I recently exported a 3 sec video but it's duration got increased to 6 sec.So what should I do to resolve this issue?

AME hasn't been working since the last update, funny enough goin gback to any other version hasn't fixed it either. I can open it and do things as normal for a small amount of time, it seems that as soon as any rendering needs to take place, the app crashes and stops responding. This applies to any file, so I know it doesn't have to do with the footage. Rendering from After Effects works just fine, but it's a huge pain. I believe it has to do with the latest AMD driver and latest Adobe updates, as these were updated around the same time. I had a similar issue with Fresco that was resolved with these updates, but AME was broken which I need much more. If this is an Adobe/AMD issue of compatibility, it is really frustrating that not only are there bugs in each update, but that they are so gamebreaking that the app is completely unusable. I have to pay every month for this, and it doesn't even work. I have a Ryzen 5 3600, RX 5700 XT Red Devil, 64GB of RAM, Windows 10 (latest ver
