Media Encoder doesn't retain the name of the sequence from Premiere

Hello,

Do you mean if it makes a difference in workflow or a technical difference?

If you meant technically, yes, as i've written above it works as expected.

If you meant workflow wise yes, it makes a difference if you have 3+ files to export as it saves you time. Pressing a single shortcut vs waiting for a window to open and pressing Send to encoder button.

Hello,

This problem has plagued media encoder for the past couple of versions.

Still exists in the latest version 24. 

When I export my sequence directly to media encoder without passing through the premire export dialog and pressing "send to media encoder" button , media encoder doesn't keep the name of the Sequence as the name of the exported file.

Instead it puts an older sequence name. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I'm making duplicates of my sequences for multiple versions instead of creating a new sequence everytime, which would be time consuming.

If I press the "send to media encoder" button all goes as expected.

 

It isn't a major bug but it gets annoying when having more videos to export at the same time and I have to pass through the export panel everytime instead of just sending it directly to media encoder.

Thanks.

Does ist make a difference using the Export panel vs. the menu command when exporting to AME?

OK. Got it. This looks like a Premiere Pro bug then. I'll move your post to Premiere Pro and let them know.

Here's a link to the original post in the AME forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-media-encoder-bugs/media-encoder-doesn-t-retain-the-name-of-the...

 

I can reproduce this behavior as well.  If you duplicate a sequence that's been opened in Export mode previously, the duped sequence will inherit the custom output name of the original sequence when sent direct to AME.  Workaround is to open the duplicate sequence in Export mode & switch back to Edit mode without making any changes.  That will "reset" the output name to match the sequence's name when sending it directly to AME.

 

I'll log a bug on this, thanks for letting us know!

Just encountered the same issue here; even worse, it exports the same sequence as the "old" sequence.

Must be some sort of cache or memory issue, since Media Encoder is remembering the "old" sequence despite actually trying to export an updates sequence.

I exported directly from Premiere instead, but I'd guess some sort of cache or media cleaning may help.

I was not able to repro in Premiere Pro & Adobe Media Encoder 24.1 unsing the Export Panel. What system are you on?

Adding on to this – If you do use the export panel it won't retain the preset you've been using in ME it will switch it to match source creating another additional step.  So either way it adds multiple unnecessary steps that can be rather time-consuming when doing multiple batch exports.

They're saying this happens when you don't use the export panel.  It happens for me when I drag and drop to ME (the fastest/easiest workflow).

I have enoutered the same thing on one of my preimire projects when i export to media encoder... i have multiple (12) sequences that i have to export. easier to export all at the same time.  every month or so i have to update the sequences(i dupicate rename and then start updating with new content)  when done i export. and everytime i send to media encoder it keeps the ordiginal sequence name from the first time. i have also tried to save the primire file as a new name. as well as saving a copy then delteing the old sequences. but for some reaseon the old sequence name still holds. just very anoying. the problem has occered everytime in media encoder 23 and 24. its only this one primire file to. all my other projects seems to work fine.

Windows, Premiere/AME versions 23.5

Just something similar happen again; here are things I did.
I had a sequence A, duplicated it for a different frame sizing, Sequence B
Had to also edit some Dynamic Linked AEP clips for reframing.

Dragged and dropped new AEP files into project.

Replaced from Bin in Sequence B.

Dragged both to AME.  In Premiere, everything is correct.

Upon exporting from AME, Sequence B was using the same AEP files from Sequence A.

Re-exported from Premiere.

I found a solution. The issue arises when sending to export from the Edit page, but if you go to the Export page and click "Send to Media Encoder" (button next to the Export button), it will send it to Media Encoder while retaining the name of the sequence. It's an extra step, but you will be able to export multiple files and avoid changing the name for every single sequence or exporting one by one using the Export Page.

Still having this issue, its hopefully something they'll fix in an upcoming update. We version our sequences up (v02, v03, v04) and then if I send v04 to Media Encoder it tries to overwrite v02's file - extremely annoying.

Unfortunately this is still happening as of today when I updated to 24.3. It also happened through all the previous versions that passed since my initial post. 

The workaround marked as the "correct answer" still works.

I hate using my mouse to go click the button in the corner so I was able to fix this. When you load up the export page the key command control shift tab will move the highlighted default from the export button to the "send to media encoder button". So If you reprogram your muscle memory you can hit command m then control shift tab and then enter and it will send the render over to media encoder probably faster then you could move the mouse to the corner to manually click the button yourself.

 

I went a step further and used better touch tool on mac which lets you automate marcros. I took the "Send to media encoder" key command out of premiere seeing as it doesn't work and added a macro into better touch tool with the same key command. It will hit command m, then it will wait for the export window to load and then it will automatically hit control shift tab and then enter for me and it all happens in less then one second overall making just about as fast as the initial key command we all liked was.

 

If you're on windows autohotkey could do this as well and if you hate paying for apps I think the mac os app autmator or perhaps even shortcuts could do this but I love better touch tools interface so that's the route I went. Hopefully this is useful to someone out there who hates using the mouse and loves saving time as much as me. If anyone has any questions about this let me know!

I don't use that workflow, and decided to check this out with a very limited test. I am not looking at whether the sequence content is affected.

 

PR 24.4.1, Win 10. In AME, import sequences natively is on.

 

Duplicate sequence, save project. From timeline, Alt+Shft+M. AME opens, file name is the original name of the duplicated sequence.

 

Beta 24.6.0.16

 

Same process; the filename correctly shows the duplicate.
