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?

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?

As in title, I would like to import .ae project to encoder to batch all compositions, and it doesn't work. Video below.

My spec:

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.2.81(64bit))

After Effects CS6

Mac OSX 10.8.2

Project don't have any third-party plug-ins

Hi,

I need some help, I have just download the new Adobe CC and now I wish I had not! I am having a problem with rendering out After Effects (AE) files in Adobe media encoder (AME). AME is not linking to the file correctly and when I render out a 1080p video in AME it is rendering it out as 480x270 even if I select match source nothing changes. If I set the size in AME physically then the video is the correct size but the quality is terrible.

The composition settings in AE are set to 1080p and I have been rendering things out like this until this recent download with not problems. I am currently going back to Adobe CC (15.3) to see if that will fix my issue. This is a screen shot of the AE composition setting

Please help this is really F@#king me over and super annoying.

Thanks

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

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.

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

Getting this message/ error while trying to upload to youtube after encoding like I normally do. I'm getting it every time, and I have searched everywhere for a solution, and I have come up with nothing. Nothing has changed on my end, and everything appears to be up to date. Would absolutely love a timely response, and something other than a game of 20 questions. This is the error log, nothing has changed on my end, and the internet is saying it's an API issue, but absolutely nothing regarding Adobe specifically is coming up.

I repeat. Creative cloud AND apps are up to date. This started happening randomly, first error happened on 08/08/2016 07:35:08 PM. (I was sick and didn't bother trying to upload until now which explains the gap in time). I have tried everything from a 15 second video, to a 40 minute video, logging out and back in multiple times, etc etc. The usual trouble shooting.

I trust the support team will deal with this in a timely manner, as the publish feature is kind of one of the major selling points of Premiere Pro.

I will NOT answer a series of 20 questions, or play forum tag for a week. I just want a swift solution to this error, or I will simply consider dropping the products due to the mass of errors I have had to deal with via the direct publishing feature.

The error:

09/03/2016 12:20:13 AM : Encoding Failed

My mac lab runs Adobe CC.  Recently I ran RemoteUpdateManager through ARD to update CC on these macs.  Now users are getting the warning:

User profiles are wiped upon logout, so this error pops up any time a subsequent user edits AVCHD footage or exports audio as Dolby Digital.   Is there a dolby digital codec I can download/install?  Or, am I stuck having to create a new user template for each workstation...   

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.

Does Adobe Media Encoder save/export in swf format?

If yes how?

Thanks

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?

how do i purchase adobe media encoder?

I want to buy it and use it to make mxf files for television material, my 30day trial period has expired.

Please help urgently.

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

I posted this is the Premiere forum two months ago, but no response.

I’m trying to understand where Key Frames are positioned, but the info I have found on the web is unclear. Here is Adobe’s explanation from the Adobe Media Encoder PDF:

Explanation 1

Key Frames are complete video frames (or images) that are inserted at consistent intervals in a video clip. The frames between the Key Frames contain information on changes that occurs between Key Krames.

By default, AME automatically determines the key frame interval (Key Frame Distance) to use based on the frame rate of the video clip.

If your footage has a lot of scene changes or rapidly moving motion or animation, then the overall image quality may benefit from a lower Key Frame Distance. A smaller key frame distance corresponds to a larger output file.

In another Adobe document it states that a Key Frame Distance is the:

Explanation 2

Number of frames after which the codec will create a key frame when exporting video.

Somewhere else it states (re Key Frame Distance):

Explanation 3

This sets the maximum # of frames between key frames. If this # of frames without a keyframe occurs, the compressor will insert a keyframe regardless of whether the scene has changed.

There are differences between the explanations:

1. the first says that Key Frames are created at a constant separation;
2. the second implies that Key Frames may not be at a constant separation (because a new Key Frame will be created a certain number of frames after the previous Key Frame, but doesn’t say anything about the Key Frame before that one);
3. the last explanation is quite clear (but at variance with the first): The Key Frame distance is the maximum number of frames allowed between Key Frames.

My interest in Key Frame Distance is because I have noticed a very slight, brief shimmering at one-second intervals in my slide shows exported from Premiere in h.264 (Blu-ray), 23.976 fps, 20-30 Mbps bit rate, 2-pass, Key Frame Distance unticked (with “23” appearing dimmed). It’s a very subtle effect, not always visible. I assume the shimmering is when a new Key Frame has been inserted during a still. Whether or not that really is the cause, I'd still like to know more about Key Frames. Most of my Premiere work is with stills, with the occasional video clip from a Lumix GH3 (1920 x 1080, 23.976 fps, AVCHD) thrown in. The stills have mainly simple dissolve transitions.

Q1: I assume the clips out of my GH3 have, as per Explanation 1, a constant distance between Key Frames. If such a clip is cropped inside Premiere at a frame that is not a Key Frame, does Premiere, when exporting, insert a new Key Frame at the crop point, using information contained in the original clip to create the image at that particular frame?

Q2: In general, where two unrelated video clips abut (but not at Key Frames), what does Premiere do about Key Frames? Add one at the last frame of the first clip, and at the first frame of the second clip? Then apply the Key Frame Distance parameter to ensure that within each clip there are a suitable number of Key Frames?

Q3: For stills, does Premiere insert Key Frames at the Key Frame Distance? Or is it clever enough to know that: “Hey, this is a still. No Key Frames are needed.”

Q4: Where are Key Frames created for a still that is dissolving? Assume a Key Frame Distance much greater than the dissolve time. If I was designing Key Frame inserting software, I would create a Key Frame at the start of the dissolve, one in the centre, another at the end of the dissolve, and then no more until the next clip.

Q5: Can Premiere (or AME or After Effects) tell me where Key Frames are located? Can I move them?

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?

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,

I am trying to export a 1 hour video that I need to be compatible with standard DVD players as well as viewable on any computer.

Original footage was shot with a Canon 5d Mark ii in 24fps.

I have done all of my editing in Premiere Pro CS6. From there, I exported a high quality file to bring into Media Encoder (for trials of best output). My master file from Premiere was exported with the Preset MPEG2. The only thing I changed in the preset was VBR from 1 pass to 2 pass.. This gave me a 6.2 GB file.

I then brought that file into Media Encoder where I have tried the following presets:

MPEG2-DVD - Match Source Attributes

MPEG2-DVD - NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality

MPEG2 - HDTV 720p 23.976 High Quality

MPEG2 - NTSC DV High Quality

These settings have encountered various issues.. some have significant banding, but most importantly, none of them will play on my DVD player when I burn them to a disc.

The discs I am using are Sony DVD-RW with a 4.7GB capacity.

Where am I going wrong here? From what I've read, the format needs to be MPEG2 to be viewed on DVD... Sorry if I sound ignorant! This stuff is tricky..
