Adobe Media Encoder Support of WEBM Files?

[Anastasia Lacina_848]

Hi - I need to know if the Adobe Media Encoder supports WebM files, and if it can convert a WebM file (of at least 250mb) to a standard video file, such as mp4 or Quicktime.

Thank you!

This topic is active for 7 years and still no solution - plugin is not working or working for older Adobe versions --> but I have latest version and I'm unsatisfied that I can't edit materials which I get from stream solutions where WebM is default file type and no other possibility.

Come on, no WebM?? Still????

Came looking for an answer to this, and was disappointed to see there's still no solution. Such a long time line for a commonly used format.

[PBas]

How long it will be on "roadmap"? This answer was 8 months ago so it looks that this roadmap is for years but moment... AI is more interesting for Adobe so it means that base is not working well but look we have an AI.

Hi is there a date for when we can open or convert .webm file on any Adobe platform yet please?

Asking our friends over at the Formats Team…

[Kay Dresen]

So, what does the Formats Team say? 

I downloaded the files from https://www.fnordware.com/WebM/ and followed the instructions for imstallation, but I cannot spot a WebM option in Ae/Pr/En ...

Why would you assume that software that costs $650 PER YEAR, supports the most common file types? Of course it doesn't. No webm support. No AV1 Support. I have no idea where my money is going. If you're going to charge me $650 per year, you better justify that cost!

Because 'AI.'

Shantanu & Scott need to go. Time for an executive overhaul.

There is a new FFmpeg importer plugin available for Adobe CC:

For export, use Voukoder plugin: (Free, FFmpeg):

This looks awesome! Have you guys had good experiences with it? I tried a free webm plugin but it crashed all the time and never worked. I want to edit webms so I can create custom steam deck boot videos. Is this plugin worth the price? I have no problem paying if it's going to work.

Are you talking about Autokroma Influx? If yes contact them using this link:

[Phantom2024]

Try this plugin (Voukoder) free and open-source.

Is there a way we can bump this roadmap feature?

Hey everybody, vote it up and I'll contact the Product Manager and let him know your feedback.

We should thank Adobe like a god for AI, rather than focusing on small things like the ability to work with file types that have been popular for decades. After all, Adobe AI will soon replace all graphic designers, and then we won't even be able to blink because such brilliance will emanate from Adobe.

[PBas]

Anyway,

In such cases, I use OBS Studio, which is excellent software not only for converting webm files to formats editable by Adobe. It does a lot of things that are hard to find in Adobe Creative Studio.

any update? been over 2 years now.

[Phantom2024]

Never trust Adobe's promises!

[Lateralus99]

Instead of putting my ridiculously overpriced yearly subscription fee towards integrating censored AI content into adobe products, maybe put my money towards features that customers actually are asking for, like webm support. How is this still not added?

[Phantom2024]

Important Update: Voukoder is no longer free!

[Fergus H]

Hi all,

While we are considering adding WebM support to our video applications, we do not have a date for when this will happen. 

If that changes, I will provide an update to this thread. 

Regards,

Fergus

This is great to hear! I want to edit webm video files to create startup movies for my steam deck.

This topic has been around for 9 years, so many people would probably be happy if, on the 10th anniversary of the request for WebM support in Adobe, it finally happened. The main thing is that there is AI in Adobe, which I don't use, but no WebM support is problematic.
