I updated my Premiere and Media Encoder a couple of days ago to the latest version distributed in Creative Cloud and, since then, my previewing in Premiere and encoding via Media Encoder is MUCH SLOWER than it used to be. I've checked my settings and my encoding is set to use hardware everywhere I see a setting for it. The GPU is a RTX 3090 at the latest driver version (456.71) Here's a comparison of two renders done, one before the update, and one after. The project settings are the same and the source video file is read from an SSD so there shouldn't be any I/O bottlenecks.10/18/2020 08:39:59 PM : Queue Started- Source File: D:\Streaming\Video Editing\Ghost of Tsushima\Ghost of Tsushima - 15.prproj- Output File: E:\Stream Archives\Ghost of Tsushima\Ghost of Tsushima - 15 - Bandit Problems.mp4- Preset Used: YouTube 1080p Full HD - 8Mbps 60fps- Video: 1920x1080 (1.0), 60 fps, Progressive, Hardware Encoding, 02:14:54:49- Audio: AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo- Bitrate: CBR, Target 8.

I've been struggling with this issue for months on my Macbook Pro.  Every time I queue renders from After Effects and try to change export settings or render I get an error saying "could not read from source" I have uninstalled and reinstalled ME and AE, all of creative cloud, and even reformatted my macbook several times.  Same error.  In need of a fix so I don't have to export in pro res from AE and then convert to h.264 in ME.

This keep happening to me.  It's happened at least once a month for the last 4 months.  I uninstall and reinstall and clear the cache and have tried what seems to be everything.  Is there a solution for this!?  It's really really frustrating!  I use Media Encoder to export dozens of files at a time and when it won't even open, it kills me! ADOBE, PLEASE FIX.

Please let me know if theres something I am missing, I have tried rendering a small video numerous times and keep getting the following message:   - Source File: /Users/danieljustin/Desktop/TIME ANIMATION_AME/tmpAEtoAMEProject-SQUARE OUTPUT.aep- Output File: /Users/danieljustin/Downloads/SQUARE OUTPUT.mp4- Preset Used: Match Source - High bitrate- Video: 1080x1080 (1.0), 29.97 fps, Progressive, Hardware Encoding, 00;00;09;26- Audio: AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo- Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass, Target 10.00 Mbps- Encoding Time: 00:02:5810/22/2020 12:09:14 PM : Encoding Failed-------------------------------------The Operation was interrupted by user-------------------------------------- Encoding Time: 00:00:5510/22/2020 12:44:33 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Export ErrorError compiling movie.Render ErrorRender returned error.Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: /Users/danieljustin/Desktop/SQUARE OUTPUT.mp4Writing file type:

I am very frustrated. Media encoder has been working perfectly fine for rendering my AE animations (as early as yesterday) until today. I tried exporting my AE file through media encoder using High Quality 1080p HD preset and it comes out super small in size (781kb) and blurry. Yesterday I exported an AE animation in a lower quality preset and it came out crisp. For reference:The video is 4s long (just yesterday I exported a 5s long video and it came out perfectly crisp at 2mb, with estimated file size 5mb or so)The estimated file size indicated in ME with the High quality 1080p HD preset says 11mb (usually when I export the estimate is accurate and I'm using this preset because nothing is giving me the same quality as the source video)The source and output preview in ME is crispThe file is 1920x1080, 29.97 frame rateFormat set to H.264Encoding settings are with Profile: High - Level: 4.2Bitrate VBR, 1pass - Target 20 I tried everything, switched up the settings, tried export

Hello,I need helpI've been rendering my Adobe After Effects projects with Adobe Media Encoder for a long time now and so far everything has been running smoothly. I have now finished a project and want to render it with Media Encoder but it just doesn't work. When I add my project file to the Media Encoder queue and click on the green arrow to start rendering, the program starts reading the source and prepares for rendering.Still everything is okay but after a while the whole render process stops and next to the added project in the queue a yellow error/warning sign appears with the text "failed" (see photo//its german).I've already tried a lot to solve this problem like reinstalling Media Encoder, rendering with different file types and changing the renderer to "Mercury Playback Engin - Software only" (in After Effects at "video rendering and effects" as well).I tried to find a solution for this annoying problem on the internet but nobody had exactly the same problem as me. It's

Hello I've had this problem for all of the versions of Media Encoder V14When you add any form of Lumetri Colour Correction to any edit, Media Encoder crashes when you try to export.My error log shows 'A low-level exception occurred in: AE.ADBE Lumetri (GPUVideoFitler::Render)'This has only happened in V14 and I've never had this problem in any other version of Media Encoder.If I revert to V13 it works fine but that isn't ideal.Interstingly, you can export the edit without a problem directly from Premiere Pro by File -  Export - Media - Export....Any help really appreciated.

Hi everyone,I have tried searching for the answer to this question on the forum and couldn't find anything close.I am working on an app that includes video content that is being released next month. We have tried keeping the content down to a minimum as obviously, this impacts the size of the app which is already quite large. There are 20+ videos that are around 1min and half long.Our workflow is probably not the best for these videos as, after a few tests, the most efficient way of getting low files size videos that retain the quality was by uploading them to YouTube at 720p and then downloading them. They would go from 150mb to around 19mb and other videos down to 6mb which si great without any severe quality loss. The reason behind this unusual workflow was based on the idea that YouTube's compression will be top spec and have algorithms that select the most efficient Mbps when uploading the videos to YouTube.I am at the stage of exporting all the videos again after some feedback an

Hi,Would you please help me understand the settings required  to export a good quality video from AE or AME? I am not at all able to do so, my video resolution has to be 576x1024 and the file size has to be around 5 to 6MB, I am having hard time exporting good quality video. Please help me. Thank you.

I've been encountering the following error the last few times I've tried outputting video. It is causing a significant setback for my work. Any help is appreciated. So far, this is what I've tried to do to troubleshoot:Delete possibly damaged frames in the film in PremiereWork on different computersFilm on different SD cardsFilm on different card slots in cameraExport from shortened paths and simplified file namesExport different file formatsEnsure that Premiere is using the NVIDIA Quadro instead of the Integrated cardMy current machine is a Dell Precision M4800, i7 with NVIDIA Quadro M2100. It's running Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1. The last time the error occurred I sent the laptop to our IT department. They did a thorough hardware test, and also re-imaged the drive, so this is basically a new (tho' older) machine.

I've search for documentation about how to script in AME.I've found this : https://ame-scripting-guide.readthedocs.io/application-object/index.htmlIt mention addFileSequenceToBatch(), whitch looks to be the function I'm searching, but I can't find the list of arguments... So I can't use it.Half of the function listed here are not complete ...Have anyone found something ?

Hey all.I need to make a video which is 250x250px for a website. I've used quicktime to capture the video and made the capture area 500x500px so that I could capture the details of the screen I need to and so that I get a 2x file size for retina screens. The resulting video comes out at 1000x1000 due to it being recorded on a retina screen. so I need to scale it back down to 500x500px. When I change the width and height in the basic settings then the video isn't as sharp as the original, neither in the preview or the exported filed. I haven't done much with video before so maybe I'm missing something obvious here. Can anyone help me out?

I have a somewhat comples project in AE then queud in ME for render. Render states approx 4 hours to render, about 1 hour in I get a Crash Report for AE (see screenshot below) but ME continues to render but in another hour or so I get the same crash report but this time ME stops rendering. I went thru this twice with the same outcome. I hope someone can help. I included the header of the crash report as well... I'm also using the latest/greatest version of ME and AE. Thanks <!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"><crashreport serviceVersion="3.0.2" clientVersion="3.0.2" applicationName="After Effects" applicationVersion="17.1.4" build="37" source="Windows-Client" crashType="n/a"><time year="2020" month="10" day="5" hour="21" minute="45" second="4" timeoffset="-300" timezone="Eastern Daylight Time"/><user guid="3ce7a8ae-e39a-4459-af98-25e9fa9f8634"/><system platform="Windows 10 Pro" osversion="10.0" osbuild="19041" application

I am processing a project and it would take 6 minutes long but around half way into the rendering my media encoder fails the render.

Hi  How can you ensure the export preset you usually use shows up by default when you add a file o the queue. Would save lots of time....

Hi i would love to set a default export setting from AE/PR (right now i have to change the same setting before i export which i hope is an unessesary step). And also do anyone know if you can set the default of a format?So when i export a h.264 it would be set to [preset 1] instead of "Match source - High bitrate",when i export a mov it qould be [preset 2] instead of "PAL DV"  I havent been able to find it anywhere and are slowly going mad 🙂  //Lasse

Hi All,I'm striving to find any bit of documentation about Media Encoder that will cover all endpoints that can be used. I'd like to know more about scheduling a job through the API, getting job details, make AME to send notifications to certain endpoint etc.Where can I get such documentation?Kind Regards,Marcin

I'm trying to export an after effects sequence with media encoder, but every time the video stills at six seconds and the last two seconds are just a still image. I have tried adjusting things in after effects, but I cannot change the output settings. Please help. 

I have multiple users of AME and I am tying to populate the AME Presets Window in an organized way.  The folder structure is made by an XML file, but with different users accounts and where the XML is stored we cant create that folder structure.  I did alter the XML so it pointed to a central networked storage but the presets still wont work even though the folder structure worked. The presets showed up in the folder but gave an error or wouldnt work.
