DISCUSS: Changes to the Adobe Media Encoder interface.

In the latest beta release of Adobe Media Encoder, we’ve made some changes to the user interface, and we’d like your feedback. The changes are not major – you might not even notice them right away – but if you see something odd, we’d like to know!  

 

The changes in Adobe Media Encoder are coming as part of an update to the tools that Adobe uses to manage the user interface of many of our products. These tools help to make the interface of our products more consistent.  

 

We want to know what you think. Please join the conversation below.

The slider for Brightness seems clunky. Not gradual once you hit the middle to change to White.  Might be simple 25% incements for now?

Hi Andy!

Thanks for the feedback. We've got both issues logged as bugs. (And apologies for the late response.)

Regards,

Fergus

Oh, I'm always so glad when the holidays are over! The stretch from Halloween to Christmas drives me a bit crazy. 

 

A feature that's already in the beta today is to send notifications when a render job is complete (Preferences > Notifications). I'm actually just chatting with the enginering team right now regarding it. Currently, it works by sending you a notification for every job. I'd like to add an option so that you can choose to only get a notification for when the last job is finished. If you're like me, you'll sometimes process hundreds of jobs in Media Encoder and that's a lot of notifications. 

 

What are your thoughts on it? 


Having the control to select what type of notifications you want would be a critical feature.  We all get massive amounts of email, text alerts, slack notifications etc throughout the day, so tailoring it to what you really need would probably have a wider adoption ratio. Do the notifications also tell you when encodes fail?

 

I did a quick test after downloading the creative cloud mobile app to my phone.  The finish encode notification went to my Decktop CC panel,  and I had to refresh the CC app on my phone to see the notification. I did have the phone app open, but I do not see or hear a notification unless I look at the Bell icon.

 

Under the beaker icon / All changes menu it states: 

Transcript Panel  - View transcripts enabled by Premiere's Speech to Text workflow.
 
I see no Transcript Panel in the window menu or any of the panels when in the default workspace? Does this only appear when you send files with 608/708 captions to a queue in AME?
