pausing and resuming export in Media Encoder

[genik]

Is it possible to stop a clip in the queue in Media Encoder -when it has already started- and resume it later on? I want to place 40clips in the queue but after 3-4 hrs of export i want to pause and resume it the next day.

Yes ... simply use the pause button in the upper right of the queue panel in Me.

And ... a lot of us use Me to work on things overnight, so it's not working using computer resources while we're editing away. So ... I always suggest, let your nice little helper work while you're sleeping. You'll both be happier.  😉

Thank, i have indeed used the pause button while the computer is on. What i was really asking was what happens when the computer is turned off and Me is terminated. It doenst seem to keep the queues, or am i missing something? 🙂

Shutting down the computer will kill the current task even if paused.  If you don't want to let it run overnight, you need to stop the Queue and re-queue the current task to run later.  The remaining items in the Queue should be fine.

You can simply pause and put your PC on sleep mode.  I wish there was a way to resume even when you shutdown tho😁

Actually, I don't know. I don't turn it off if I've loaded something into Me to work, as I want that all done before I get back.

Is the queue panel empty when you turn the computer back on and launch Me?

The queue panel isnt empty, but the files that are in queue will not resume. I have to remove them and load them all over again. I dont leave the computer on at night, i shut it down, thats why i was expecting for the resume feature to be working 🙂
