Exporting for HTML 5 video (.webm & .ogg)

I can't believe there is not more demand for this. My web dev is asking me for over 300 video clips in both .web and .ogg - - AME does not do this.

Do you guys have this problem? Any sucess with a 3rd party plug-in of some sort. I can use Firefogg (from Firefox) but it's slow using over the web as opposed to exporting from Premiere.

    I don't know if anyone is paying attention to this thread anymore, but I just put a WebM plug-in for Premiere/Media Encoder into beta.  Here are a couple download links:

    http://www.fnordware.com/downloads/WebM_v0.5b2_mac.zip

    http://www.fnordware.com/downloads/WebM_v0.5b2_win.zip

    WebM uses Vorbis for sound, but this plug-in can't actually write a seperate Ogg file. Now that I've gotten a little familiar with the Vorbis library, maybe it wouldn't be too tough to make a Premiere plug-in.

    I don't know about Theora. Is there really demand for that?

    I am a web developer and NONE of my clients ever manage to send HTML5 video thats proper for the web, so I end up having to be a video guy too these days. I've been using other nonsense software to encode OGG and WEBM and I am very grateful to have found this post.

    Too bad your links are broken and Adobe never managed to put  OGG and WEBM into media encoder...

    Update:

    Can I export WebM and OGG files from adobe media encoder?

    Turns out this thread has working links, pretty simple.

    You just end up adding the following files:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore

    Ogg.prm

    and

    WebM.prm

    Worked for me.

    I use EasyHTML5Video (Easy HTML5 Video : HTML 5 Video Converter ), which is free for non-commercial and only $69 for unlimited commercial license...

    BUT, I do agree that it's incomprehensible that Adobe don't include it... If they can include it in a commercial license, why wouldn't Adobe be able to do so...?

    I'm really on the fence of cancelling my CC account... I had it mostly for Acrobat and Dreamweaver... I still have Creative Suite 5 and Acrobat X, so that would fulfill my Photoshop, Illustrator and possibly Acrobat needs... As for Dreamweaver, 90% of my sites are now with WordPress and I'm starting to use Pinegrow for HTML sites...

    Only hesitations:
    1- my designer still send me Photoshop mockup, that I use with Extract on the Creative Cloud to build my sites... So, I would only need the CC platform, but can't have it separately... Maybe a Photoshop or Acrobat only would be enough, though...

    2- I used to teach Adobe products (Dreamweaver, Flash (remember it?), Acrobat, LiveCycle...) often in both French and English... Now it's only in English and just a few times a year... maybe a monthly subscription (or just using the demo?) would be enough...
    3- Mostly, since I'm a freelancer, I would have to check, but I think it is 100% deductible; so, a lot of money, but that I get back when I do my taxes...

    But let's be honest, there are a lot of good equivalent products out there for free or low cost...

    Holy crap, it's 2017 and four years later Adobe still hasn't made any kind of official reply to this very reasonable request.  Why not? If there is an issue with an open license, then explain what it is.  Telling your users (who pay you a metric f*ck-ton of money to use your product) to use another product is completely unacceptable.

        Now it's 2016 and still no webm support!

        The plugin from fnordware is nice but renders so slow with vp9.

        Maybe we should tell adobe that we are still waiting...

          How could a format so commonly used in web be completely ignored by Adobe 4 years after the request was made?  H264 cannot be played on Firefox - you know - that browser with a large percentage of the market.  Are you really suggesting to your paying customers to go use some hokey online conversion tool still?

          I'm beginning to think the feature request Adobe always points to is nothing more than a glorified black hole.

            I've been selling Adobe products for years. As a user and a seller my personal opinion is that Adobe are an embarrassment to professionals. Failure to support webm despite feature requests is not the first time I've seen glaring failure in their products.

              I installed the ogg plugin, but I can only export audio. Any idea why?

              The Ogg plug-in does .ogg audio only (and .opus and .flac audio too). For .ogv video you need the Theora plug-in, found on the same page.

              Is there a way to export that with alpha/transparency?  I've installed both the WebM and Theora (OGV) plugins from fnordware, and I've read that WebM supports transparency but none of my test renders have worked, and I'm not seeing any info on this.  Any idea?

                There are currently no plans to support alpha, since it's not really an official WebM thing. There is a demo, but it only works in Chrome, I think. More discussion here.

                  I was right, it wasn't too hard to make an Ogg Vorbis plug-in for Premiere. Just took a few hours, actually. Let's call this a beta. Download here:

                  http://www.fnordware.com/downloads/Ogg_v0.5b1_mac.zip

                  In fact, it was so quick I decided to add support for FLAC, as well, which is a lossless audio format by the same group. That might have been a mistake. It was much harder and in fact I never got it building properly on Windows. But for Mac users you've got FLAC support too.

                  Programmers, feel free to help solve the Windows issues, because this plug-in is open source. It's up here on GitHub.

                    linking problems are usually caused by not including the right libraries. in gcc, you look at the link error symbol names, and grep those in the lib directory. grep will list the library files that have symbols. GnuWin32: Files or MKS tools (for those who need a commercial package) can be had for those who need UNIX utilities like grep.

                    if there were other things that caused it, I forgot them because I haven't dealt with them in a while.

                    for example: for mingw-w64: assuming you are in the compiler's main directory,

                    grep -i somefuncname mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\*
