Profile and Level? Please help explain

When exporting footage I generally use AME, and I periodically get error messages that talk about increasing the Profile and Level, but I have no idea what those mean or do. I mean, I read the help guide (http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/export-settings-reference.html#video_exports_se ttings), but the explanations for Profile and Level are one-liners that explain all of diddly squat. So with what little cryptic info I've found on the interwebses, I've basically blindly adjusted settings til I've gotten something close to what I want or need. I'd MUCH rather like to understand what they are and how they affect my output so I can actively problem solve on my own. Sooo.....

 

1a.) What are Profile and Level and what do they do?

1b.) What do the different numerical representations of Level mean/do? The range of choices (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1) appears random to my uneducated brain, which likely means there is actually a very good explanation and precise specifications for each one.

 

2a.) What are some real world applications of given settings? What's common/widely accepted and used?

 

 

 

Thanks!

No audio when using 2017 Media Encoder

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?

Adobe Media Encoder Fail - need help please

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 have updated to Media Encoder 2018, but I'm still running Premiere Pro 2017 due to the audio sync issues with 2018.  When I go to add something to the render queue in Premiere I get an error message that Media Encoder is not installed.  I can render from"export," but not from "queue."  Suggestions?

Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

I have the following error since CS6 when exporting some videos: Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

 

All my drives have plenty of space, NTFS 7200rpm, everything was fine with CS5.5. Same problem with Encoder or Premiere Pro.

 

Much of the stuff I export is going fine but I have this error with some sequences and formats.

 

It always crash to this error when exporting sequences with "Match Sequence Settings".

 

For one of my projects, when exporting to wmv, out of 6 sequences one always crash to Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

 

If I encode those sequences to mpeg2, everything is fine.

 

I installed the new update this morning but it doesn't help.

AME ignores AE comp's background color?

When I render MP4 from AE by AME (this is now forced by Adobe) then in comps with background set to White rendered MP4 have BLACK background.

WTF? Anyone else?

I missed something?

 

Besides rendering now everything 3 times slower with AME (ram preview + slow AME startup + AME render = especially peaceful with 5K footage ) it is now need to make always Solid as background in comps??

Adobe Media Encoder won't start

Not OP, but I have the same problem. AME just won't run. Double click, it's loading, I can see the process in Windows Task Manager but it just goes away again. Tried deleting that watch folder .xml but not working. Here's my spec from the FAQ:

 

  • What version of Adobe Media Encoder? Include the minor version number (e.g., Adobe Media Encoder CS6 with the 6.0.1 update).
    • AME CC from premiere cc 7.0.1
  • What other Adobe applications do you have installed, and what application are you using Adobe Media Encoder with?
    • Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro
  • Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    • Used creative cloud to update to latest version
  • What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    • Windows 7. All update patch installed.
  • Are you using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
    • Yeah
  • What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
    • N/A. App won't launch
  • If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    • No error message
  • Is the problem only occurring with a specific output format or encoding preset? If so, which one? If this is a custom preset not included with AME, then upload the preset file to a file-sharing site and provide a link.
    • No.
  • What were you doing when the problem occurred?
    • Booted up the computer. Launch AME.
  • Has this ever worked before?
    • Yes.
  • What other software are you running?
    • Google Chrome
  • Do you have any third-party codecs installed?
    • Avid DNxHD, Cineform Studio
  • Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
    • Regular desktop
  • Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro?
    • Yes.

Alpha Channel / Media Encoder Question

Hello All,

 

I have a question that I think is just something I'm overlooking. I have a Comp with a logo. The logo is made up of various files and does not have a solid background. It's very similar to a lower third.When I render it out in AE via the Render Que I have no issues and the Alpha channel works as expected when imported into PPRO. The setting I use is QuickTime>Animation>RGB+Alpha, etc.

 

This morning I decided I wanted to start rendering via Media Encoder. I watched the video Colin Smith did a bout a year ago to refresh my memory.

 

I fired up Media Encoder, dragged my logo comp into ME and everything seemed to being going beautifully. I chose QuickTime> Animation codec>etc.

 

However when imported the file into PPRO the Alpha channel did not render. Where the Alpha channel is supposed to be PPRO read as black video. I went back in ME and doubled checked all of the settings. I do not see anywhere in ME where you can specify an Alpha channel as you can in AE where you can specify "RGB+Alpha".

 

Is there a setting in ME to activate/read the alpha channel that I'm missing? I'd really like to use ME for future AE comp renderings but unless I can get around the Alpha channel issue I won't be able to.

Media Encoder hangs rendering a prores proxy under OSX/macOS

May 3, 2018, 10:48 am

System:

Version: Media Encoder 2.1.1 (build 12)

OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.4

HW: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

GPU:  AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB /  Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

 

Settings:

source file: 3840x2160 h264 in quicktime container, 25fps, 4:2:0 8-bit colour, approx 1hr long

Target format: Quicktime / 1024x540 AppleProRes 422 (Proxy)

Renderer: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)

 

When invoking "create proxies" under premiere, with the above system/settings, Media Encoder stalls and becomes unresponsive roughly 25% of the way through - though it continues to utilise very high amounts of CPU.  Both source and target files are on the local system disc.  The system is set up to NOT sleep when running of mains power.

 

Given that the estimated transcode time is 4 hours, it's especially painful to lose an hour's time when it dies
