Guys,

Can we get Adobe Media Encoder to shutdown the  pc after encoding done?

I have  searched but have not found anything suitable?

Is there someone who has script that can monitor the exe and then shutdown pc after encoding done?

I recently updated to Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014, and not wanting to keep older apps on my PC, uninstalled Adobe Media Encoder CC (the previous version). As luck would have it, I need the previous version, as Adobe has ceased supporting the FLV video format in Media Encoder CC 2014, per this posting: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2014/06/removal-flv-f4v-swf-export-adobe-media-encoder -after-effects-premiere-pro.html

I have visited this page, http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=160&platform=Windows, but after downloading and trying a few options I have found that these are just patches/updates, and I receive an "Update Failed Updates could not be applied" message.

So, I'd like to install (while keeping the current version) the previous version on Media Encoder. Is this possible? I so, what web page do I find that on?

Hello, First post so apologies if I am in the wrong section.

I am trying to export a sequence from premier pro through the media encoder.

for my project I am required to produce a 720p, 25fps h.264 .mov  however when selecting the format "Quicktime"  there is no drop down in the codec options to allow for H.264 compression.

Under format I have attempted selecting a preset that matches the above settings but I receive the error message

"incompatible video codec found in the preset"

I am using a new laptop (around 2 weeks old) on the windows 7 os

Thanks for your help!

!!!! Disclaimer: NVENC-export is third-party software that is not supported by either Adobe or NVidia. It comes with no warranty -- use at your own risk.

nvenc_export is a NVidia GPU-accelerated H264/HEVC export-plugin for Adobe Premiere.  It is a "proof-of-concept" that provides quick encode times by offloading the computationally intensive video-encoding operation to the NVidia GPU's dedicated hardware block NVENC.
Compared to high-quality software encoder such as x264/x265, NVENC currently produces inferior visual quality and compression efficiency.  However, due to the nature of fixed function hardware, it does offer significantly faster encode times than software alone, with significantly less power consumption.  The speed advantage is helpful for turning out many draft-quality videorenders quickly.

Download link: <nvenc_export 1.12 (Nov 20, 2016)>

Programmers who are interested in modifying nvenc_export, source-code link: <nvenc_export 1.12 src (Nov 20, 2016)>

Minimum hardware requirements:
(1) NVidia Kepler GPU
    (a) for H264 4:4:4 support: Maxwell Gen1 (GTX750) or newer
    (b) for HEVC 4:2:0 support: Maxwell Gen2 (GTX950) or newer
    (c) for HEVC Main10/4:4:4 support: Pascal (GTX1050) or newer
(2) AMD or Intel CPU with SSSE3 instruction support (virually anything newer than 2008)

Minimum software requirements:
(1) Adobe host applicaition: Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 or Adobe Premiere Elements 14
(3) Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit)
(4) Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Software Redistributables (download this from Microsoft)
(5) NVidia Geforce driver 368.81 or newer (Aug 2016)
(6) for AAC-audio support, you must separately download NeroAacEnc from www.nero.com
(7) for FLAC-audio support, you must separately download the command-line version of FLAC from (www.xiph.org/flac)
(8) for multiplexer support, you must separately download TSMuxer, MP4BOX, and MKVmerge

Installation:
You will need administrator privileges to install nvenc_export, because you must copy the plugin file nvenc_export_112_sse2.prm into the installation dir of your Adobe application.

For Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 or CC:
(1) On your system, locate the installation-directory for Premiere Pro CS6.
  Usually, this is C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
(2)  Copy the included file Plug-ins/Common/nvenc_export_112_sse2.prm
  to <installation dir>/Plug-ins/Common/

* To use nvenc_export in Adobe Media Encoder, You must also copy *.prm file to the same directory ("Plug-ins/Common/") in your Adobe Media Encoder installation-dir.

For Adobe Premiere Elements 14:
(1) On your system, locate the installation-directory for Premiere Elements 14.
  Usually, this is C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 14
(2)  Copy the included file Plug-ins/Common/nvenc_export_112_sse2.prm
  to <installation dir>/Plug-ins/Common/

(Older versions of Elements are supported, see the readme.txt file for additional files to copy.)

-> To choose the NVENC-plugin in Media Encoder,
   in the export/format-menu, select<NVENC_export 1.12(sse2)>

Warning!!!: do not copy nvenc_export_112_avx2.prm into this directory, unless you are certain your CPU is recent enough to support AVX2!  If your CPU does not support AVX2, Premiere will *CRASH* at startup (until you remove this file from this dir.)

Known Limitations/problems:
(1) nvenc_export is "beta-quality" software... it is loaded with bugs.
(2) Audio/video is out-of-sync when lookAhead feature is used with HEVC.  (H264 should be ok.)
(3) TSMuxer has problems with HEVC-video (dropped frames, stuttering video, etc.)
     If exporting to HEVC, use MKV instead.
(4) Audio codec support is limited to PCM, FLAC, and AAC
(5) nvenc_export cannot export HDR-video (HDR10, DolbyVision).  Although it now supports HEVC Main0 profile (which is capable of carrying HDR video), this plugin was built using the Adobe CS6 SDK (2012), which predates HDR10 & Dolbyvision. (nvenc_export has other problems, too.  See readme.)
(6) Memory leak inside the plugin.  Over successive export operations, nvenc_export slowly consumes more GPU VRAM.  (Quit and restart Adobe Premiere; that should be enough to release the leaked VRAM.)
(7) HEVC-bitstreams are missing the video usability info (VUI) block and user-SEI (generated by nvenc_export.)  The VUI contains the video's colour-description (color-space characteristics), and the user-SEI lists the encoder-settings in effect.
(8) If the GPU-configuration of your PC changes in any way (i.e. upgrade to new card, or add/remove existing video-card), any saved encoding-presets that you created with your old setup may cause nvenc_export to crash at startup.  Avoid this by deleting *ALL* of the old nvenc_export encoding-presets.

Revision history:
1.12 (Nov 2016) - update to NVENC 7.0 API
⦁ Separate the AVX/AVX2 optimizations from the baseline codebase.  nvenc_export is now compiled for 3 CPU-architectures: SSE2, AVX, AVX2.  Before, nvenc_export 1.11 was only compiled for AVX2, and would *CRASH* if the host-CPU lacked AVX capability.
The "SSE2" build runs on the widest array of processors (though it still requires SSSE3 instruction set suport.)  The AVX and AVX2 offer more optimized YUV-repacking and RGB2YUV conversion routines (these operations run entirely in software on the host-CPU).  In most cases, the Adobe videorender or the GPU-encoding is the speed-bottleneck, so the AVX/AVX2 builds won't offer faster encode (though perhaps reduced CPU-utilization.)
⦁ Add HEVC Main10, FREXT profiles (for Pascal GPU):   10bpp, 4:4:4
⦁ Add new NVENC configuration items exposed by NVENC 7.0:  enableLookAhead, temporalAQ, EnableNonRefP, strictGOPTarget
⦁ Add FLAC-audio support (requires third-party download from www.xiph.org/flac)
⦁ For 5.1 (surround) audio output, make channel-swapping a user-controlled checkbox 'audio51_swap'.  (This is only required for CS6 and Elements 12.)
⦁ In h264 bitstreams, fix dropped user-SEI message (which lists the user's encoder-settings.) [Change nvencoderconfig settings from disabled to enabled: aud_enable, sei_BufferPeriod, and sei_PictureTime]
⦁ Fix some PrPixelFormat autonegotation problems. Premiere Elements 15 no longer provides 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 YUV-video, so nvenc_export will request 4:4:4 YUV. 
⦁ Remove RGB video from PrPixelFormat autonegotiation.  (User still has option to manually force Adobe to output RGB-video, by enabling the checkbox 'forced_PrPixelFormat'.)
⦁ Export operation now generates a debug *.log file
⦁ Fixed some problems with user-interface dialog-boxes failing to refresh properly in response to a change to a dependent setting.
⦁ Allow some user command-line arguments to be passed to third-party tools.  (Note, cannot override the default arguments that are already put there by nvenc_export.)

Hi.

I'm trying to render out a batch of files from AME, but they keep getting stuck at 100%, and never finishing.

AME creates 3 files, a video file, an audio file and the container, but never merges them into one complete file.

Everything seems to render normally if l render directly from Premiere Pro, but as l have a ton of files l need to render out for archiving l'd love to be able to queue it up..

My render settings are:

- H.264/mp4

- Video: 1920x1080 (1,0), 25 fps, Progressive

- Audio: AAC, 160 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo

- Bitrate: VBR, 2 pass, Target 10.00 Mbps, Max 12.00 Mbps

- The source was deinterlaced

Source files are P2 media; DVCPRO HD.

I am rendering on:

iMac 21,5" late 2012

OS X 10.8.5

CPU: Intel i7 - 3,1GHZ Quad Core

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT650M 512MB

HD: 251GB SSD / 100 GB free.

RAM: 8+8GB DDR3 1600MHz

with:

Adobe Media Encoder CC (v. 7.2.2.29)

I have tried saving locally, to an external Thunderbolt drive, and to our ReadyNAS server with the same issue.

Any tips?

Regards,

Kristian

I see that finally the new version of AME supports encoding in h265. I opened AME but I'm not able to find the h.265 preset. Where is it/what is its name?

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

I recently installed  AE & Media Encoder cc 2017. I tried rendering  a 3 min project  in media encoder and the rendering was slow as hell so i tried directly in After effects which almost took 2hrs 30 min.I am really worried about this weird problem because everything was much better in the older versions. I would really appreciate someone to help me with this frustrating issue. Why is my render happening this slow. I am really concerned because few day back I upgraded my hardware. Do i have to tweak something to get it faster? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm trying to encode 4K portrait h.264 .mp4 and I get the following message "Frame dimesions are not supported. Please check that both width/height alues are within limits."

As a temporary work around I'm rendering Landscape 3840x2160 with my content rotated 90 degrees. This will not be good enough in the long run though as I have to produce content for a digital signage player that outputs portrait 2160x3840.

Is there a way to force 2160x3840 or will this resolution be supported in the near future?

So apparently Adobe has changed their settings in CC 2014 and Adobe After Effects no longer has the H.264 container, and is only offered as a codec for Qucktime. I've been told I have to go into Adobe Media Encoder for the H.264 codec. That's fine, problem is that Adobe Media Encoder does not really have any options for Alpha. From my understanding you have to set it to 32bpc for it to do alpha in a file, which did not seem to work, but that's irrelevant now because that's not what I need. I need to render out two files for a batch list, one with just RGB files and one with just alpha. I talked to someone from Adobe and they suggested I post here. Let me know if you need details.

Thank you very much.

I keep getting a failed error when trying to use Adobe Media Encoder. 

I open up my premiere project and select the comp I want.  I switch the format to Quicktime, select h.264 from preset.  Hit the start button and I get the failed sound/icon.

2 questions:

1. My comp is 1920x1080 but when I go in it automatically has it as 720... why is it not recognizing the comp size?

2. Is there a way to fix this error?  It seems to export occassionally to my C drive (which is not raid) but it fails to my F drive (Raid 10).  But usually if I export as a wmv or something smaller it exports fine to F.

I am using the YouTube 1080p 30fps preset and twice now I have had an export of the same project fail. The error log states:

"File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of Accident Reenactment.mp4.  Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled.

Adobe Media Encoder

Could not write XMP data in output file."

The result is a small file of 24 bytes, so the video doesn't even get created. I have exported this same project to DVD and ProRes with no issue, so I have no idea what the problem is.

Here is the whole section from this export:

Any help would be great. Please let me know if you need any addition info.

When I queue exports from Premiere CS6,  Media Encoder totally ignores any custom export settings, and chooses some completely different system defined default settings, which I did not choose in Premiere. In previous versions Premiere would always pass the encoding settings to the Media Encoder.

Update: When I tried to import the custom settings into Adobe Media Encoder, I got an error message: "Preset could not be imported. No exporter found for this preset." Then I've realized, that AEM doesn't even have a QuickTime export format!!! Actually it offers only 4 export formats: H.264 (MP4), FLV, F4V, and MP3. Then, when I queue an export with Premiere with one of those 4 formats, then AEM would accept it. Anything else - it just wouldn't work!!! So wait - am I missing something, or I literally cannot queue any other common format exports with AEM??? I need to work with MOV, AVI, AIFF, WAV etc. files, which all aren't accepted by the Media Encoder... Or am I missing something???

This is ridiculous. I am becoming quite fed up with Premiere CS6 bundle - in 20 minutes I have found already 4 diferent features, that worked in previous versions, and work no more in CS6

I don't know how it worked in CS5.5 - anybody?

I recently updated to Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014, and not wanting to keep older apps on my PC, uninstalled Adobe Media Encoder CC (the previous version). As luck would have it, I need the previous version, as Adobe has ceased supporting the FLV video format in Media Encoder CC 2014, per this posting: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2014/06/removal-flv-f4v-swf-export-adobe-media-encoder -after-effects-premiere-pro.html

Hi

have a problem with adobe media encoder CS6, in media encoder preferences I change the Display Format to 25 frame timecode, I import a serial of TGA (170 frame) to media encoder as a TGA image file Sequence, this serial generated from 3D Max and ToonBoom applications, the specification of TGA serial 1080 50i "1920X1080 - upper filed - 25 fps", when I import the sequence, media encoder recognize the sequence as 1920X1080 - progressive - 29.97 fps, in interpret Footage options window I change the settings of the sequence to upper filed - 25 fps, and I export it to quicktime mov 1920X1080 - upper filed - 25 fps uncompressed

the problem:

the duration of mov file is 06:20 and that is correct for 170 frame as 25 fps but the mov file not contain all tga serial image, the image freeze at time code 05:16 (frame number 142) and duplicate the frame 142 to the rest of movie file

if I don't change the frame rate in interpret Footage options window for the tga sequence which media encoder recognize it as 29.97 fps, the mov file contain all TGA frames but with duration of 05:16 which not 25 fps

in adobe media encoder CS5.5 I don't get this problem at all

1- how to solve this problem ??

2- how to force adobe media encoder CS6 to recognize the imported image sequence as 25 fps frame rate ??

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection CS6

thanks

Hello,

I am exporting a mpeg HDV file that has a constant frame rate to a H264 video (.mp4) video to upload to a web-base video player. I'm actually using the preset in Media Encoder "YouTube HD 720p 29.97".

The online video web interface I use requires a constant frame rate. But when looking at the video in MediaInfo it shows the video file as a variable frame rate. After looking through the settings in Media Encoder I cannot find any option to correct that.  I see where you can change the frame rate and it is at 29.97. So you would think it would be constant but it is not. And it does not have any settings, that I can see, to change from variable to constant. I do see the bitrate settings, but that is not the issue.

I also have Apple Compressor and that successfuly does a constant frame rate, but if possible I'd rather use Adobe Media Encoder. So does anybody know how to change this setting? Thank you

Hi,

I'm having issues with the 2017 version of Media Encoder.

To start, I exported my files from Adobe Premiere CC 2017 version. I have no problems with audio. Sound is there with the file(s). Everything looks good.

Then, when I use the media encoder to change to another format, I get no audio at all. All of my clips from the new ME has no audio.

I have cleaned the media cache from both Premiere and ME. I also re-installed Media Encoder 2017. So far, nothing has worked. Still no audio on files.

Everything was fine with previous version. Any suggestions?

When I export something into queue out of Adobe Premiere, which is the SAME version as my media encoder, it takes 5-10 minutes for that file to appear in media encoder. Then when I hit play to make it compress, it will give me the spinning wheel of death for 5-10 minutes before it begins processing. It's frustrating because I finish 6-8 sequences a day.. so waiting 6 x 5 mins = an extra 30 mins to 1 hour of starring at my screen to make sure those sequences show up in media encoder and it is just very time consuming. I recently upgraded to the 2017 latest version and before I upgraded, I was having no problems with the lag time. I tried purging all of my settings MULTIPLE times I cleared all cache I pressed shift when restarting and nothing helps. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else. Thanks!

I see that finally the new version of AME supports encoding in h265. I opened AME but I'm not able to find the h.265 preset. Where is it/what is its name?

Thanks in advance
