Media Encoder CC 2015 Not rendering Lumetri effects

AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB

Ive tried the following with Red Raw, Pro Res and  .mp4 footage.  If I add a Lumetri Color effect to a clip or adjustment layer and queue the timeline to Media encoder, no color effects show up on the final compressed file. The only way to get the color effect to show up is to bypass media compressor entirely and export directly from Premiere which stops me from working in Premiere. This is one of many issues I have had with this VERY buggy release. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

    here's the workaround:

    In Media Encoder Preferences > General > Premiere Pro > Uncheck "Import sequences natively"

    This is unreal guys....I just finished a 4 act long form and have to deliver tomorrow and this bug is icing me. Nothing I've tried has worked. Even when I try to export directly out of Premiere...nothing I've done in color exports. Come on Adobe!!!

    November 19th, and it's still not working!  It's not limited to just Lumetri.  I rendered a sequence with the FilmConvert plugin.  It's not rendering either.  C'mon guys...

    Still no good???

    I've tried copying the lumetri folder from PR to AME but all the files are there already. I have the latest version of both apps too.

    Adobe will you fix this????????

    I have the same issue as you AndrewNoel....

    Lucky I checked before exporting 2 x YouTube, a Facebook and a DVD version of the project !

    I've copied across the Looks folder (including the particular VLOG I'm using for my GH4) and it's not transferring - I can't apply the .cube look as there's graphics and non VLOG footage either side of the effect.

    Looks like a long render night.

    So if I create my own LUT's is it necessary to drop them into the AME folder so that AME will render them? If so, this is bizarre?  I imagine that the folder/file structure has to be the same as where it was loaded in Premiere?  Hopefully, the call for the file is "relative".  I've got separate drives, folders and content for LOOKS/LUTS that I've created or collected.  I've spent all day researching this software BUG.  So far CC2015 has cost me hours in wasted time as I've had to research ways to correct or find "work arounds" for the many issues I've encountered.

    This is fixed in the Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 (9.0.1) update:

    After you've copied the looks folder from PP to AME are you going back into PP to make sure your color edits are active? I had disabled mine when I didn't believe AME to be exporting properly.

    Same issue here... seems widespread.  Thanks to this forum tho, got it fixed.  There are some genius people out there in the real world!

    It's a very simple fix actually, just go into your Premiere Pro folder from Program Files, find the Lumetri folder and within that destination, copy the LOOKS folder. Go to AME's folder and find the same Lumetri folder - paste the MISSING looks folder and voila. AME loads all Lumetri effects as it should now.

    No problem man. I've been following this thread every day hoping for a fix. Then it hit me to look in the folders and it immediately worked. You have no idea how happy I was. My Premiere Pro trial is almost up and I hadn't been able to export correctly.

    Experiencing this issue in as well: "Creative" effects are omitted and not rendered, but "Basic" effects are retained and rendered in the AME final render.

    Just thought I'd chime in as I am experiencing the same issue with my Windows 8.1 PC running Premiere CC 2015. Strangely it seems like Media Encoder is exporting some of the colour effects but not all of them. My export has the Basic Corrections applied but not the Creative ones? Like everyone else here it is all being exported correctly if Premiere handles the encoding.

    If you haven't already - you should 'officially' file the bug on this page - I guess posting here does not count as filing a 'bug' within their system. It needs a direct bug posting.

    While I would normally recommend doing so, in this case it isn't necessary as we already have this one logged.

    Having the same problem, very frustrating as I edit a high volume of videos daily that need color correction. Gonna be a pain to keep rendering direct from premiere. Hopefully this gets fixed asap!

    Hey all, we are aware of this issue and are investigating. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please stand by.

    Thanks thnord -  There are several other issues I am working around with the 2015 release - It would be very helpful if there was a 'known issues' page we could go to instead of forum diving to troubleshoot. Is this available?
