Media Encoder CS6 doesn't export any of the common formats like .MOV, .AVI, .AIFF .WAV, etc.

Question

When I queue exports from Premiere CS6, Media Encoder totally ignores any custom export settings, and chooses some completely different system defined default settings, which I did not choose in Premiere. In previous versions Premiere would always pass the encoding settings to the Media Encoder.

Update: When I tried to import the custom settings into Adobe Media Encoder, I got an error message: "Preset could not be imported. No exporter found for this preset." Then I've realized, that AEM doesn't even have a QuickTime export format!!! Actually it offers only 4 export formats: H.264 (MP4), FLV, F4V, and MP3. Then, when I queue an export with Premiere with one of those 4 formats, then AEM would accept it. Anything else - it just wouldn't work!!! So wait - am I missing something, or I literally cannot queue any other common format exports with AEM??? I need to work with MOV, AVI, AIFF, WAV etc. files, which all aren't accepted by the Media Encoder... Or am I missing something???

This is ridiculous. I am becoming quite fed up with Premiere CS6 bundle - in 20 minutes I have found already 4 diferent features, that worked in previous versions, and work no more in CS6

I don't know how it worked in CS5.5 - anybody?

I have found the solution in another thread!!! It's here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4503096

1. Open this file:

On MAC: /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder CS6/Adobe Media Encoder CS6.app/Contents/Resources/txt/AddExporterList.txt

On PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS6\txt\AddExporterList.txt

2. Back it up to some other location.

3. Then delete everything from it and paste this:

# MediaCore Plugins

# AME Plugins

AudioWriter

WinMediaWriter

# AME Plugin Formats

MPEG4

H.264 Blu-ray

4. Save it, and relaunch Media Encoder - voila! It worked for me and many others.

Same problem. On premiere I set it to export to .MOV. But when it is queued on media encoder, it changes the output file format to .F4V.

If I export directly from premiere, then the file format remain at .MOV. But I have 50 videos to export, so can't do it one by one.

I already tried the 'correct answer' but it did nothing for me.

Any other suggestions?
