Questions

I'm trying to render DV NTSC AVI files to MP4. Having extreme difficulty if I'm not using the SSD array because AME now needs to read the whole file before it does anything. I'm using SATA spinning drives on a USB 3 dock because the files have to be captured on other machines (because Firewire Capture is now omitted on Premier). Source files are between 8-12GB Steps to reproduce:    1. Drop a file into the render queue   OR2. once it loads click the preset setting to change settings Result: It takes forever.  Looking at Task Manager, the drive is reading the entire file at full USB speed (external drive), but the file's so big it's taking 5 minutes to do just one file. Unacceptable.Expected: AME is ready to go within seconds. Workaround: Use CS6. Just to test, I started the queue in CS6. The files loaded in 1-2 seconds.  Opening settings took only a second or two as well. I was able to save out point and change bitra

New in Media Encoder (Beta) 25.3 build 35 you can generate visual analysis sidecar files so that editors in Premiere Pro will be able to use visual search as soon as they import the media. Read the Premiere Pro Beta Feature page and the FAQ page to learn more about Media Intelligence Search.With this new functionality in Media Encoder, you can: Analyze individual files in the Queue using the Visual Analysis system preset Create an Ingest Preset that includes a Visual Analysis step Create a new Analysis Watch Folder   These will write a sidecar .prmi file next to the media file which contains the visual analysis. When that media is imported into Premiere Pro, the sidecar file is used so that editors can search immediately without analyzing the clips in Premiere Pro.   Analyze files in the Queue If you need to analyze just a few files outside of Premiere Pro, follow these steps: Drag your media into the Queue panel in Media Encoder Select all the items in the queue (Edit &gt

You can now choose to automatically shut down your computer when the entire Media Encoder render queue is complete.  Check the option at the bottom of the queue.      This is useful to save energy by powering down the system after a long overnight render job for example.  Media Encoder will issue the shutdown command to the OS, but other apps could still interrupt the shutdown process at the OS level, so be sure to quite those other apps.  This option is sticky, meaning it will still be checked the next time you launch Media Encoder.   Be careful testing, because . . . your computer will shut down . . . which is the intention of course 🙂   This feature is available in AME beta 22.0 build 89 and later.   We want to know what you think.  Please join the conversation below.

We're facing some issues with our Adobe Media Encoder beta builds at the moment and momentarily cannot provide new daily builds. We'll let you know when the issue is resolved. Thanks for your patience.

Here's something that always drove me crazy, and sometimes caused problems.  It's been present in all builds of AME... It's the scroll wheel action while scrolling settings. If I'm scrolling through the video settings, and the mouse happens to pass over one of the dropdown lists, the dropdown list starts scrolling, and if I'm not looking, I've set something where it shouldn't be. If scrolling the settings, the dropdown lists shouldn't respond unless clicked on, then the scroll wheel could reveal the list. Thanks! System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.1.0.50    OS: Windows v10.0.22631, RAM: 63.83 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

When running ME in darkest mode, it's nearly impossible to see if you have an item in the queue selected as shown in the screenshots. This also does not mirror the color of a selected item in PP as shown in the screenshot. When you shift to dark mode, the selected color is confusing to me since it just blends in with the rest of the iterface. 

Steps to reproduce:  Add item to Media Encoder queue.  Sign into Vimeo from within Media Encoder (and enter title, etc.).  Encode queue item and wait for upload.  Add a new item to Media Encoder queue.  Sign out of Vimeo from within Media Encoder.  Sign into a new/different Vimeo account from within Media Encoder (and add title, etc.).  Encode queue item and wait for upload. Result: Both items were completed but uploaded to the same Vimeo account - the first one that was signed into. The second queue item showed the correct Vimeo account information for the second Vimeo account signed into, but uploaded to the first account.Expected: Both items should be completed, but the first one should be uploaded to the first account and the second item to the second account. System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v24.3.0.39    OS: Windows v10.0.22621, RAM: 31.88 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 8

newest beta AND updated 24.3 can't normally export.only 24.2  still working properly.

This is really a question about best practices to improve AME Beta opening after an update. Current specs below. The most recent context is testing a PR export with caption sidecar problem: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta-bugs/pp-beta-hangs-when-exporting-mp4/idc-p/14569420#M2574   For many versions, AME Beta fails to open when queued from PR Beta. And if I open it first with a preferences reset, that may or may not work.   Today I updated PR Beta to 24.5.0.16 and AME Beta to 24.5.0.14. Throwing caution to the winds, I queued from PR without starting AME separately. No splash screen; I did see AME Beta running under PR in task manager but not in its own process.   Restarted PC. Opened AME Beta with Shift modifier; no splash screen.   Restarted PC. Opened AME Beta with Shift modifier; got the splash screen and preferences reset. Reset all. Opened.   Left it open. Started PR Beta. Queued successfully.   I posted several times in th

Media Encoder Beta keeps crashing which I click the Output Files link when I want to renmae or changed final save location.

I have 4 different custom encode presets, and none work now after the latest update

Files won't encode, has been stuck for 10 hours

 

Because of enhance speech and a few processing effects (I assume) it's taking 10 minutes to export a 45 second video. I'm on a M1 Pro Macbook - this would normally take 15 seconds. But it's rendering audio files for 10 minutes each before finally exporting the video. Really awful.

I have a M2 13' Macbook Pro. When i run the audio enhancement on premiere pro my cpu load shows up in the high 10% to low 20%, but my cpu temps stay in the low to mid 70°C. When rendering said video with enhanced audio, using  Adobe Media Encoder (Beta), i got CPU loads of low 20%, but with concerningly high CPU temperatures of as much as 86°C!!!! please look into this as these high temps are very detrimental to the life of CPUs. if there is any information i could provide to help recreate the problem, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

When rendering a video file in HD or 4K in AME the render stack on the last frame from 10-15 min up to couple of hours. I'm working on a new and powerful computer so no issues of hardware out of date. The problem is with all latest version of AME and I heard this problem from others as well.

Steps to reproduce:    1. ...I have about a 2 hour and 40 minute 4k video to render, and it takes about 14 hours, so doing this overnight is ideal.  I have been storing my files on a QNAP with a fast connection (including thunderbolt), but putting my temp files on a local drive. Result: ...Expected: ...I expect the job to finish, however I get a code 3 error.  It has taken a good moment, but I finally figured out that my ME job ended at the same time as my backup was scheduled on QNAP, at 5am.  Running the ME job during the day succeeded, which avoids the QNAP backup. System info    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v24.1.0.38    OS: Windows v10.0.22621, RAM: 63.68 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 20

If I attach a LUT in the export settings the LUT isn't applied if I send to media encoder. If I just hit export directly from premiere it is applied. This seems like a new issue (maybe just started with todays update).

'This is the rendered element and suddenly all these boxes appeared out of nowhere. I composed my main composition using a few compositions that have 3D in them. Please let me know how to fix this. 

Just wanted to drop a quick comment/observation that in my first few hours of testing the Beta, I'm already seeing significantly better stability and interoperability between PP and AME on Windows. I was accustomed to getting a PP crash and subsequent crash report prompt literally every time I sent a project from PP to AME on my AMD Windows 10 workstation, but thus far I've already done half a dozen renders and have yet to crash once. I still reflexively save my project immediately before every render out of habit and an abundance of caution, but so far I've had no interop issues at all. Seems like a great step forward.

AME Beta 23.3 (Build 35) fails to render AE Comp from:After Effects  Composition previews fine in AE.After Effects com is one layer: an EXR image sequence, zip compression. OCIO colour management.Add Comp to Media Encoder wirks as expecetd. AME opens and item is added to the queue. On opening the Custom Settings window the visual preview shows as missing - ie: the color bar placeholder.  If rendering is attempted the render completes - but with the color bar placeholder for every frame.

This morning AME Beta 23.2 crashed.  It starts to boot then says it has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue. I noticed that 23.3 was available so downloaded it.  It's doing the same thing. This is after a computer restart.    OS: Windows v10.0.22621, RAM: 63.80 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16
