Correct answer trevc60755728

I have found the answer. I replaced the information in the .txt file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS6\txt\AddExporterList.txt

with this new text:

# MediaCore Plugins

# AME Plugins

AudioWriter

WinMediaWriter

# AME Plugin Formats

MPEG4

H.264 Blu-ray

I saved it then re-launched it. Now I have many format options in AME dropdown menu.

Hi Trev,

There’s no native way to export ProRes on Windows  as it is a native codec of MAC– there appears to be some back and forth on this issue on the forum. To the best of my knowledge, there is absolutely no Premiere support for third-party tools (such as Cinemartin) that claim ProRes exports from Premiere Pro. You can try the below link associated with CineMartin plugin but for encoding to Prores you might need to purchase this.


PC Windows Prores encoder and video converter

Have you tried this Cinemartin? Are there people on the forums here that have had success with it?

I've been given this link to download the ProRes decoder for Windows. I've yet to try to see if it works. If it works for you please let me know.

Apple - Support - Downloads


You won't need the ProRes decoder; that's built into the standard QuickTime installation now. And, what's more, is that it's a decoder, not an encoder, which it sounds like what you're after. I won't address the encoding of ProRes via a plug-in in Premiere Pro or Media Encoder, as there are no legitimate solutions. Not saying it can't be done, just that there is a sign hanging over that territory reading, "Here Be Dragons."

What's more confusing to me is why AME is only showing a very limited number of formats; it's been awhile but I vaguely recall that those were the formats that appeared when you installed AME with Flash. With Premiere Pro or any of the other DVA applications, you should have the full allotment of formats--which includes QuickTime on a PC when the standard QuickTime Player (or Pro) is installed--available for encoding. Do you see a full list of formats in Premiere Pro's Export Media dialog, e.g. AVI, MPEG-2, Waveform Audio, etc.? Have you tried resetting your preferences in AME? To do this, hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift and launch the program; hold them until the splash screen appears. If you don't see the other formats, you can also try resetting the plug-ins in AME; similar procedure as above, only hold just the Shift key while launching.

Have you ever seen more formats in the AME queue window?

Hi Trev,

  • Just drop your files in Adobe Media Encoder Queue and click on the Format of the file (mp4 in your case) to bring up the Export Settings Box
  • Under Format select Quicktime and change the preset accordingly.
  • Hit the Start button at the top

Thanks,

Rameez

I do not have a QUICKTIME option in the format dropdown selection

You don't have to click on the drop-down menu. Either click on the Yellow F4V or Match Source Attributes (High Quality) which will open a new Window on the screen like this. I have selected Quicktime as the Format which will give me an MOV file.

Thanks,

Rameez
