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
Hi, I'm using AME to render my video from After Effects.
I used to get the same error code for the renders (-1609629695) all the time, but all of sudden it was working fine for a few renders.
And now I'm getting the error again.
For different compositions, this has been occuring often, and I couldn't figure out what is causing this error or find any information about this online.
I'm using AME CC 2018 version 12.1 / After Effects CC 2018 version 15.1.0
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1505M v5 @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

and here's what I get about why my rendering is failing

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!

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!
I need to use CC 2014 because I'm running that version of AE. When I look at the 'previous versions' in the CC app, it only offers CC 2017 and CC. How can I get CC 2014?

Up until yesterday before I updated to the new release of Premiere and Media Encoder, I had the ability to export H.264 in a Quicktime movie. With this new update, the ability has been removed and it has causes all sorts of problems and delayed some of my work. I want to know if this was suppose to happen or is this a bug of sorts? Aside from this bug, I've already dealt with many new bugs this new update has brought on.
Hello dear community hopefully there is some solution. As you will see in ENCORE CC2018 when I want to add a composition since AFTER EFFECT CC 2017 I get this poster, look for the application but I did not find it. Someone can help me please! The same happens with AFTER EFFECT when I want to add it to the ENCORE.
Adobe Media encoder plugin is missing in After Effects. How do you install the plugin?
Hello! I've just tried a trial of Animate CC + Adobe Media Encoder.
I have a very simple task to make an animated GIF out of my .fla file.
But when I try making that in AME I cannot(!) make a single animated GIF. It always gives me a sequence of gif images. But I need a single file (just what good old Flash could do via it's Publish menu).
So my question is: how can I export a single gif animation?
Thank you.

I just edited a video i recorded with my iphone 6, after i finished i tried using media encoder to render the video but when I view the exported video it is one second or maybe one frame long also my video takes no time at all to export, almost like its not rendering.
I'm exporting in MOV and I am using a free trial, i also am not getting any errors.
(Not sure if it matters but since i recorded it with a iphone the video file is called IMG_9533)

I am trying to output h.264 video for a web project and cannot seem to get sRGB color match when rendering out from AE.
I see it in AE's native renderer, but not in AME.
Thanks.
I have a corporate license to Adobe software. I am using Premiere Pro CC 2015 and After Effects CC 2015. Today, I was having an issue using an MP2 file with Premiere Pro. So I saw something and ran "Updates" hoping it would solve the issue. I don't know what it did but it broke After Effects. When trying to export a lower thirds project, I got the following error: “AEGP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature. Go to https://creative.adobe.com/apps." which is then followed by AEGP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Failed to connect to Adobe Media Encoder.” I uninstalled After Effects and Premiere Pro and re-installed them both. I still get the same error. I assumed Adobe Media Encoder was installed but when I go look in the same folder where the other Adobe software is (Programs), it's not there.
How does Adobe Media Encoder get installed (part of PP or AE)? I also found a URL where I could download an AE "update" - ran that and I get an error saying the "patch is not applicable to you". I think somehow through this process Adobe Media Encoder was uninstalled and not re-installed with either PP or AE.
Hi everyone,
We have new ProRes output presets available for Media Encoder CC. You can download the presets here
While the new presets do not add new functionality to Media Encoder, they do provide added convenience. By definition, these presets are for use on Mac OS. If you are on Mac OS X 10.8, or 10.9, the ProRes codecs come installed with your operating system. If you are using Mac OS X 10.7, you will need to install one of the Apple Pro apps (Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, etc.) for the presets to function correctly.
Here’s what’s new with the Media Encoder CC ProRes presets:
Please note: the ProRes presets should only be installed on AME CC (7.x). They may not work correctly in AME CS6 or earlier versions.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Eric
