I have downloaded the free versions of both of these codecs in the hopes of being able to transcode to each as an intermediate codec for my AVCHD files. The problem is that neither shows up in either my Premiere Pro CS6 or Adobe Media Encoder Import/Export options? What gives? Did I miss something here? How do I get the option to transcode or encode to DnxHD or Cineform on a PC version of CS6?
When I use Premiere, there is an option to export to HEVC, and at the first time it showed a popup asking install the codec and I clicked yes.
But now I can only find HEVC option in Premiere export menu but cannot find any in Media Encoder.
How to fix this? Thanks.

Hi CLCTV,
To close this thread, exports interpreted as variable frame rate are now interpreted as constant in AME CC 2014 (8.0), and later. Please create a new thread if you are still having trouble with this issue.
Thanks,
Kevin
Could someone explain with detail how Media Encoder is able to convert a Variable frame rate video to constant? I am personally working with a live stream video and trying to add front and back bumpers in post.
Thanks!

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.
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??
I've been making videos and exporting them perfectly and uploading them to youtube. However, yesterday I go to export this video and I get this message. No idea what to do. Thought Premier pro and media encoder would need updating so I've updated them both to the most recent one, yet it still says it's not installed. Please help, I need to upload videos.
Do I need to install Quicktime to use the Photo JPEG codec? It is missing from my list of options when I try to export to Quicktime format.
I am on Windows 10.

Hello Forum,
Can anyone recommend decent quality 720p MP4 settings with an MPEG4 container?
I can only do 720p versions in a quicktime or h264 container which will not play in windows.
Source is ProRes 422 1080p. Client requests MP4. However, the settings for MP4 under the MPEG4 container does not allow for a high enough data rate for 720p.
Thanks!

I'm baffled by this problem and really need to find a solution ASAP. I am using creative cloud, and files fed directly into media encoder are exporting silent audio tracks. Media encoder appears to complete the export, but the resulting files have no sound.
If I export the same clip from premiere pro from the timeline it works just fine and audio is present.
My theory is that media encoder isn't conforming the audio clips it imports. Any thoughts or fixes? Has anyone here had this issue? Thanks!
Hi,
Media encoder cc won't encode my x264 codec .flv file.
Error: media encoder doesn't support this compression type.
This is a .flv that was produced by Xsplit, WWW.xsplit.com
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.
CS6 all up to date
Win Vista (not that I think any system specs matter in this instance).
Thank you in advance,
Shane
I'm running After Effects CC 2015. When I try to send my composition over to AME I get the following screen.
I click ok and then get this...
Everything was working fine before I did a clean install of windows 10, I ran into a virus that wouldnt go away so I backed up everything and reinstalled all clean software. I ran the adobe cloud cleaner tool and still the programs will not communicate with AME. My firewall is allowing all programs and they are updated to the latest patch per the adobe cloud program.
After effects CC 2015 v13.7.1.6
Adobe media encoder 2018 v12.0
adobe media encoder v2017.1.2
Both AME programs get the error when trying to add the composition through AME directly or through the individual program like Ae or Pr.
If I try to add a composition from AME I get the following popup on both AME versions I listed above...
I am running Windows 10 Pro, and the adobe products are installed into the default location (c:/programs/adobe...)
Thank you for any help...

Greetings,
Why is it, no matter what settings I choose, If I render a video file, the output is ALWAYS a larger file size than the source file? Even if minimally touched.
Heck even if I trim it to make it shorter, it's still larger.
Here is the AME settings to a project where all I did was put a white box over 4 sec of text. And the final file is almost twice as big and of much crappier quality at these settings
Working on an Adobe Animate project.Trying to import an mp4 file which it will not. Looking for an FLV. Encoder, however, does not have an mp4 to FLV converter. How do I convert an mp4 to FLV?
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'm new to using AME. I'm trying to convert WMV file to FLV. I have 5 files that were all recorded with GoTo Meeting by the same person on the same day. The files were saved to a shared drive. Now when I try to add them to AME to convert them, only two files worked. I received the following error message for the other three:
What can I do to fix this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

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!
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:
Render speed of Media Encoder (2018) is x4 slower than premiere pro cc 2018 in same File export with same rendering settings.
Rendering time of the file (4K video. H.264 Mp4. 2 min. length) : Premiere Pro - 9 min,
Media encoder - 41 min
