Adobe Media Encoder

I have some serious issues trying to manage the queue in Media Encoder (v26.3.1).  I loaded 250-odd items into the ME queue. After a couple has processed, I changed my mind and stopped processing the queue (red Stop Queue button). I then closed ME down for the day.Next day, I restarted ME and I found that the Queue pane was empty with the status saying 2 of 252 items processed, a bad sign IMHO.  The Start Queue and Stop Queue buttons were greyed out. I dropped another file into the Queue pane and Start Queue turned green. I clicked Start Queue to start the conversion. ME then started processing the original queue contents from the previous night. Not what I wanted and a bit unexpected.It seems I need to clear out the old queue. There must be a way to do this but I can't find it. I can't select the files and remove them individually as the old queue members are not visible since I restarted ME.So, two questions:1) How do I clear the ME queue?2) How do I redisplay the queue members after

When batch encoding images into video files, the default duration is five seconds. Is there a way to change the default duration duration of still images, like you can in Premiere?

As we prepare for the upcoming version 27.0 release of Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Audition, we want to share advance notice regarding hardware and OS compatibility changes across Windows and MacOS. Windows OS Requirements The minimum Windows OS requirement remains the same for 27.x: Windows 11, version 24H2 or later.  If you're on Windows 11 v23H2: You will be blocked from installing v27.0. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later.  If you're on Windows 10 (22H2, 21H2 LTSC): These OS versions are no longer officially supported by our video and audio products. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later to ensure compatibility and security with current and future releases.  If you're on Windows 11 v24H2 or later: No action needed. You can update to v27.0 as normal.  If you're on Windows Server 2022: You can continue installing and using v27.0 on Windows Server 2022. Starting with v28.0, install will be blocked on all Windows 10-base

If I export my project straight out of Premiere and skip AME the export is fine. If I export my project to AME the export that AME produces looks to be proxy quality.The file size is slightly smaller indicating to me it is using the proxies on export and not the source files.Export with proxies is unticked. 

Media Enconder esta en un estado constante de installacion, no puedo ver el progreso de descarga en Creative Cloud y cada vez que intento cerrar Creative Cloud sale el mensaje de “Installation of Media Enconder (26.3.2) will be disrupted)” ya reinicie applicaciones, sign-out/sign-in y reinicio de mac, nada funciono.

I have tried several different settings from Lightroom and AME but nothing is working.  The videos turn out dull and not accurate.  The exported TIFF are accurate to what is showing on the Lightroom Classic Develop settings.I have tried the following settings and combinations with no luck:HDR Graphics White (Nits): Based on Source, 100, 203 and 300Export Color Space: Rec. 2100 HLG and 2100 PQDepth: 16-bpcMaximum Render Quality (Checked) It isn’t the exported TIFF files because I got it work using DaVinci Resolve with no issue.  This is a Adobe Media Encoder issue.

Hello, I'm experiencing a critical hang on startup with Media Encoder that persists even after a clean reinstall and cache purge.I sent a massive batch of 127 heavy videos from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder to create proxies. Media Encoder choked on the massive queue, froze, and crashed.Now, whenever I try to open Media Encoder, it freezes indefinitely on the splash screen. After removing some conflicting third-party plugins (Film Impact) that it initially got stuck on, it is now permanently crashing on native modules. Specifically, it stops at: Cargando (177) ExporterBMP.prm.Troubleshooting already done (None worked): Cleared all Media Cache and Media Cache Files in AppData. Completely emptied the MediaCore folder (removed all third-party plugins). Deleted the Adobe Media Encoder folders in both Documents and AppData to reset all preferences. Uninstalled Media Encoder via the Creative Cloud Desktop App (choosing to "Remove" preferences) and performed a clean install. Attempted

The order of the Media Encoder queue has been reversed. Items are now added bottom-to-top and the queue runs in that reversed direction too. There is no option that I can see to revert this back. I assume this is a bug, as nobody would have requested this as a feature.

About a month ago I noticed that when I exported an After Effects comp to Media Encoder queue, the comp never came through.Since, I have tried all avenues:Dragging the comp directly over from AE to ME, the ‘Dynamic link’ pop up, loads forever and never actually loads. Uninstalling and reinstalling both apps. Using older versions (not helpful though as my newer AE projects then don’t open). Making sure both AE and ME are the same versions. I’ve reset both and cleared caches.I’ve spoke to a friend who’s having the exact same issues so wondering if it’s an Adobe issue rather than my machine?I am using Render Queue in the meantime but much prefer Media Encoder so ideally need it sorting. Thanks!

 It does have a lot of effect layers but i have done one with 16 sec on a similar file and it render just fine even if it did take 19 hour to complete the rendering. i reduce the unused asset, check the preferences, made a new copy with just a 2 sec comp and even try rendering by after effect itself but that doesn't work either.  I need to know what can i do about this.this is the 2 sec one 

one of my users has a problem with Media Encoder. she has Media Encoder v25.1 and PremierPro 25.1. when a podcast (or file) is opened in premier pro, it can successfully be encoded, however when she tried to offload the same encode to MediaEncoder so that she can continue working in premierpro, it gives a message that there was an error downloading enhance speech.I have tested connection toTest-NetConnection podcast.adobe.com -Port 443 2Test-NetConnection cc-api-data.adobe.io -Port 443 3Test-NetConnection ims-na1.adobelogin.com -Port 443as true and successful, how can I fix this issue

I am migrating to a newer version of Adobe Media Encoder on my MAC (14.9 Build 48 to 24.6.1). I want to backup /migrate ALL Settings, Presets, workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, plugins, templates, scripts etc.  I found a few steps from a google search but want to check with an expert to make sure I am not missing any other files/folders that I should migrate over. Also, since I am migrating from an old version to new version ensure that I am copying over only the files needed to ensure a smooth transition to newer version. Thank you in advance! Here’s the steps I found:1. ~/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/[Old_Version]/This is the single most critical folder for Media Encoder. This directory holds your actual, custom-created Encoding and Ingest Presets (like custom YouTube, ProRes, or client-specific export configurations). [1, 2]What to copy: Look for a folder simply named Presets. Inside, you will see a collection of .epr files. Note: If you have ever used Adobe's Cloud Sync featur

When I send a render to Media Encoder, it will encode the video using proxies instead of my high resolution media despite the option in media encoder not being checked. All of my footage is properly linked. I can enable/disable proxies in premiere pro and the watermark appears/disappears. The only way I can get it to behave is by disabling proxies in premiere pro first, and then sending the render to Media Encoder, which I’ve never had to do and is not the expected behavior. This has burned me several times on very long renders with short deadlines. Proxies seem to work as expected when I render directly from Premiere Pro.

Bonjour à tous, J'ai la suite Adobe depuis hier. J'essaie d'exporter mes essais Premiere Pro et After Effect sur Media Encoder, sans succès. J'ai toujours des messages d'erreur.

After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder 2020 are rendering h264 codec MP4s too bright. The colors are washed out slightly and what I'm assuming is a gamma shift. I'm using Windows 10, After Effects v17.1.4, Adobe Media Encoder v14.4, and Nvidia driver 451.77. This issue does not exist on After Effects 2019 and Adobe Media Encoder 2019. The MP4s look as you would expect, using identical settings for export.One additional finding was that using After Codecs plugin, I'm able to export an MP4 using the x264 codec and the colors are correct. That is also using AE and AME 2020. So, from what I'm gathering there is definitely an issue with AME 2020. I find this annoying issue with nearly every release of AME, and have had it pop up off and on since 2004. This is not an issue with playback between video players, but specifically a color shift in the actual render. I'm not using any display profiles, and have After Effects set to not use a Workspace color profile in Project settings. Have also te

I'm having a problem with video, exported as MP4 - the colors appear to be washed out.However, when using After Effects for exporting, the colors appear correct (black as #0C0C0C, which is close enough to the real color, which is #0D0D0D)I have read other posts in this community and tried exporting software- and hardware, configuring LUT etc. but no cigar. Initially, I thought it was the player, since the same video appeared different in QuickTime player and VLC, but as mentioned, it can be solved by exporting from AE.When exporting as .MOV from AME, it's almost spot-on.However, I would very much like to continue using AME, since it contains a lot of functionality that I take advantage of and gives me a boost in production. Any ideas?

As we prepare for our upcoming version 27.0 release of Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Audition, we are sharing an important update regarding Macintosh hardware compatibility. Beginning with version 27.0, our video and audio applications on the Mac platform will require Apple silicon (M1 or later) processors. Intel-based Mac systems will no longer be supported for v27.0 and future updates. What Macintosh Users Need to Know Intel-Based Macs: You can continue installing and using version 26.x. Security updates for v26.x will continue per our standard support lifecycle. To update to v27.0 upon release, an Apple silicon Macintosh will be required. Apple silicon Macs (M1 or newer): No action needed. You can update to v27.0 as normal. Moving exclusively to Apple silicon on macOS allows us to focus on modern architecture and hardware acceleration across our video and audio applications. This update also aligns our roadmap with Apple’s transition roadmap: Apple has announced

Media Encoder 26.3.1 – ProRes 4444 exports black/transparent video while Premiere Pro exports correctlySummaryAdobe Media Encoder 26.3.1 fails to export valid video when encoding a Premiere Pro sequence to Apple ProRes 4444.The exported file contains valid audio, but the video is either completely black or appears as transparent (empty RGB channels).The exact same sequence exports correctly when exported directly from Premiere Pro.The issue only started after updating to the 2026 versions of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder.System ConfigurationOperating SystemmacOS (Apple Silicon)Hardware testedMac Studio M1 Ultra MacBook Pro M2The issue is reproducible on both systems.Adobe versionsPremiere Pro 26.3.0 Media Encoder 26.3.1Source MediaApple ProRes 4444 Generated by an animation software No alpha channel in the source footageThe sequence also contains a few graphics/images with transparency, but those are rendered correctly when exporting directly from Premiere Pro.Steps to ReproduceOpen t

Hello,Since updating to Media Encoder 2026, I have encountered an issue when exporting vertical videos (using a blurred background layer to fill the 16:9 frame) to MXF OP1a.The exported video results in a black or very dark artifact/edge on the left side of the frame.Additional Details: This issue does not occur when exporting directly from Premiere Pro using the exact same project settings. This issue did not happen in Media Encoder 2025 using the same sequence settings, project files, and export presets. Disabling "Enable Smart Rendering codec" in the export settings does not resolve the problem. Could the team please look into how the 2026 version handles color management or rendering on MXF OP1a containers for vertical compositions?Thank you!

Hey, this is my first time editing in After Effects, im using the 2024 version and i only have 5 plugins installed; sapphire, bcc, universe, topaz and twixtor. Ive been trying to export my project for about 4 days now and it doesnt seem to work, i always get the same crash message, at first it was only during a certain part of the video but now its happening in different timelines too. Ive changed the format from H.264 to QuickTime and the renderer to MPESO, since i heard that could fix it, still nothing.Im using my gaming PC to edit my videos, my graphics card is an NVIDIA 4060 and i have 32gb of RAM, ive tried rendering in the AE queue and in the media encoder, both dont work.Is there any way i can export it? Is it some plugin causing the crash? Thanks.
