Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 H.264 export, very bad quality compared to VLC

November 10, 2015, 11:54 am

Hi

 

I make some screencast with VLC Media Player (www.videolan.org, free and open source), it captures my desktop and exports the file in H.264 at 25 fps. Then I edit this in PPro and also export the clip in H.264.

 

All is well but... The original video files from VLC has a top quality with a very low bitrate (200 Kbits/s), and when I try to export the edited video with the same bitrate from AME, the quality is just horrible! Artifacts, blurred, with some blocks... Even if I export with a bitrate more than 20x higher than the original file (4400 Kbits/s), the quality is not as good as the original.

 

Here is a comparison between the three exports:

comparison.png

Can you explain me why there is a so big difference even if the bitrate is multiplied by 20? Here are the export parameters (with a bitrate of 400 Kbits/s):

Thanks a lot for your help and please excuse my poor english

I am trying to convert an AVCHD video for viewing on my iPad 3. I use Adobe Media Encoder and select the iPad 2 settings (1920x1080) and it exports the video perfect, but no audio. I have "Export Audio" checked off. I tried it with 5 other settings and it just wont include the audio. Any ideas?

Creating a Gif is different frame rate

If I have an uncompressed .AVI file that I created in After Effects CS5.5 which is 23.976 fps, and load it in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, and tell it to create a .GIF of it, at an output fps of 23.976, when I load the created .GIF into Adobe After Effects it tells me the frame rate is 25 fps and there is a black frame padded on the end.  I want the frame rate of the GIF to be what I ask it to be, ie. 23.976, with no additional black frames.

 

Here's what happened with screenshots:

1. I load the uncompressed AVI file that was created in Adobe After Effects CS5.5 into Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5.  Note below that Adobe Media Encoder is saying that the source clip is 23.976 fps, and that the export settings are to create an animated GIF at 23.976 fps.

2. After Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 has said "done" (Encoding Completed Succesfully) for this export to a .GIF, if I take that .GIF file that Adobe Media Encoder has just created into Adobe After Effects CS5.5, this is what it says:

 

screenshot-of-imported-file-into-adobe-after-effects.png

 

As can be seen above, Adobe After Effects CS5.5 is saying the GIF file that Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 has just encoded is actually 25 fps, not 23.976 fps like I told it to be exported as.  Also, the GIF Adobe Media Encoder has created is 10 frames long, whereas my original uncompressed AVI is 9 frames long.

 

 

Edit: I've just been reading up on the GIF format and it seems it doesn't store a frame rate but instead stores a frame delay, which is in hundredths of a second.  If this is just an integer, is this the reason for the displayed frame rate discrepancy, ie. 1 frame at 23.976 fps  would be 4.1708 hundredths of a second I think, and 1 frame at 25 fps would be 4 hundredths of a second I think - both rounded to the nearest integer would be 4 hundredths of a second so would the frame delay be set to "4" for both 23.976 fps and 25 fps? (there is also the fact that some short time will be taken for the drawing of the frame)

 

Though even with the above, it shouldn't be increasing the amount of output frames.  It converts it correctly (no additional frames) if I use VirtualDub to convert the AVI to GIF instead of Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5.

Media Encoder After Effects Linked Comp Audio Issue

I've been having an issue since I updated media encoder (2015.3) where if I dynamically link a render from after effects the last second of audio starts to jump around.

 

Are there any known work arounds for this?

 

I've tried a few different exporting codecs, h.264, MPEG 2, and exported a .wav just to check the audio and they all had the same issue.

Exporting from After Effects doesn't have the same issue so I'm using that as a workaround for now, but my workflow is slowed greatly without media encoder use.

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

"An error Was Encountered while writing the output File"

First time using Newest Media Encoder CC, via Creative Cloud now. I try to dedicate Media and project files on one SSD Raided drive, and all the Cache/preview files on another SSD (these are both apart from my regular OS/Programs where actual Adobe Programs are installed)

So I wanted to output something I brought in to Premiere from After Effects, and it opened up Media Encoder. but when I try to output it I saw a text file open up saying

An Error was encountered while writing the output file. The Output destination could not be found. Check that the output directory still exists. If the output directory...

 

it goes on for a while, and as a list it points to some folders in C:\ Drive AppData Local \ Temp folders,

Now I thought specifically that I wanted it to go to my specific Cache folder on another drive. and when I go to Media Encoder settings in Media column, it is indeed selected as my Media Cache Files location and Database Location as the Cache Drive I favored. However I am getting above error...

 

I am kind of lost, perhaps I am not understanding how disk setups work individually for Premiere, After Effects and in connection with Media Encoder?

 

Thank you for taking time to read my post...

How to change render resolution of After Effects project in Adobe Media Encoder for an H264 preview?

June 21, 2014, 9:57 am

I'd like to render a 1080i comp at half resolution or third resolution in AME to speed up render times for low-res previews. I just had a low-res H264 preview take 5 minutes to encode in AE, and 28 minutes in AME.

 

This is easily accomplished in the After Effects render settings. However, the "video" option in AME seems to imply the project is encoded at that resolution, not rendered at it.

 

I went into AE and changed the setting in the composition viewport to "half", but when I queue it up in AME, the "Match Source" button still indicates 1080.

 

What is the correct method to get the results I want?

 

I'm currently using AE CC and AME CC on Windows.

Media Encoder CC 2015.3 Rendering Colors incorrectly

Im running a 2015 iMac 5k retina with 32gb Ram. All software up to date.

 

When exporting from Adobe Premiere Pro via Media encoder the Colours are over saturated with too much contrast. See top image.

When exporting directly from APP using the Export button (as opposed to Queue) the render is correct and as is in the timeline. See bottom image.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

First off, thanks in advance for any assistance. I am a CFer and do not work with media too much, but I have been asked if I can take a video a guy made and put it on his website. He gave me the dvd and it is in .vob format. I cannot seem to open it up within AME. I tried even changing the extension to .mpg and it did not work.

 

Thoughts?

"Failed" export in Media Encoder

July 13, 2016, 12:40 pm

How's it going everyone.

Had a project to export today and it failed in Premiere so I tried in Media Encoder with no luck.

I tried duplicating my sequence.  I rendered the audio.  I rendered the In to Out, and it all worked fine but still couldn't export.

When it was in Media Encoder it says "Failed" and usually fails on the "Preparing Audio" part right at the beginning.  When it's exporting in Premiere, sometimes it renders the audio but gets stuck at 0% indefinitely and I have to Force Quit the program.

I tried exporting from another project and it worked fine.  Even a different sequence from the same one didn't work.  So it must be something in this sequence, but I don't know what.

 

this is the report from media encoder:

Media Encoder Won't Fully Quit

When I quit Media Encoder, it will close, but then it still shows up when I command+tab to switch applications. And when I go to force quit, it shows up there as well, but will never actually quit when I force quit it.

When I try to reopen Media Encoder by launching the app itself, it doesn't do anything. Then if I "queue" an export from Premiere, it will open Media Encoder but now when I command+tab, Media Encoder shows up twice.

Then if I try to quit again it will just keep doing the same thing. Then when I try to restart/shut down it will begin the process but always locks up and I have to manually force the computer to turn off by holding the power button

until it turns off.

 

I'm having this issue on my iMac and my MacBookPro. The iMac has been doing this for a month or two. I thought it would've been fixed in an update but my OS (I'm on Yosemite) is up to date, as well as all my Adobe apps.

My MacBookPro has just started doing this in the past couple of days.

how max cpu for AME?

September 8, 2012, 2:26 pm

so it makes some sense that AME would not max out my cpu if its supposed to render in the background- but is there a way that I can tell AME to use all available resources on a render?  currently when i send files from premiere to AME to render it is only utilizing 20-50% of cpu, how can I increase that to 100% ?  For comparrison, if i render directly in Premiere i get the same 20-50% but in AE if i render a comp - it will utilize 60-85% of cpu, and other programs like xilisoft video converter if i convert 1 video it will utilize 60-70% of cpu.  Things i have tried without success: 1. rendering project which is on one SSD to an alternate SSD 2. shutting down all other adobe programs when AME is rendering.

Exporting Sequence in Media Encoder Gives Media Offline Screen

June 29, 2016, 6:44 am

I recently updated to the latest releases of Premiere Pro CC (2015.3) and Media Encoder (2015.3) and since the update I've been having issues exporting footage in Media Encoder. The issue I'm having is that whenever I try to export a sequence via AME it gives the offline screen, on the same clips, in the preview window, even though they show up correctly inside of the preview window in Pr. The really weird thing is that when I export straight from the "Export Media" menu in Premiere itself, with the same export settings, everything is fine.

 

These project files are a templates for videos that I make on a weekly basis for work, and they were working perfectly fine pre-update.

 

I've tried the following steps, but had no joy in solving this issue:

 

  • Created a New Sequence with only the affected clips.
  • Created a New Project with only the affected clips.
  • Moved the clips location on my disk drive and located them in PR.
  • Copied all the project files and clips to my laptop and used the pre-updated version of PR and AME, these export just fine.

 

It seems from my testing that it's an issue with AME not recognising some .mp4 files as that is the only common thing between the clips affected, but it doesn't happen with all h.264 .mp4 files.
