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??
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!

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 am currently using Premiere Pro CC 17 so I can't use the latest version of the media encoder (the one I have installed right now). Is there a way to download a previous version that will work with my version of Premiere? Thanks.
I use the search thing in the Start menu to open Adobe Media Encoder, but nothing happens. The splash screen doesn't appear, or anything. I tried exporting my After Effects file to MP4 by adding it to Media Encoder Queue, but nothing appears. I even searched for the application launcher in the Program Files Adobe folder. That didn't work.
I tried uninstalling and installing the latest version, which is 12.0. That didn't work.
I tried running as administrator. That didn't work.
I tried running it in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8 and 7. That didn't work.
I tried creating a Presets folder in Documents>Adobe>Adobe Media Encoder>12.0. That didn't work.
I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm just trying to export my After Effects composition, but nothing's working. I'm currently trying to use Dynamic Link with Premiere Pro, but it shows nothing. I know it takes time to render, but my whole composition looks black in Premiere Pro. Does anyone know of a way to help me get Media Encoder working, or a workaround to this issue?
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 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.
AME recently stopped working for me. It will launch when I queue a project to be exported, however, the project won't show up in AME so I can start the export process. I've searched and tried everything I can find with regards to fixing AME but still not working. I see a lot of posts about AME not working throughout the Internet with a few suggestions to fix but nothing seems to work with any regularity with anyone.
When it stopped working, I hadn't made any changes to my computer (iMac OS 10.11.3) or to my Adobe apps (I'm a CC subscriber). There was an update to PP and AME available, which I downloaded/installed but still not working.

I'm on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 running Adobe Media Encoder CC 2018. AME quits on startup every time with the error "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue." AME CC 2017 will open and run, but I can't export from Premiere CC 2018 no matter what I do (Export Media to Queue, drag sequence into AME 2017, try to load through dynamic link server from my project within AME 2017...)
I have uninstalled and re-installed AME CC 2018 several times, ditched preferences, log and preset folders, made sure permissions were set to read/write in Documents and Library, restarted my computer. I'm stuck now because I can't even export from Premiere since I have the MacPro graphics card glitch where any render I do using my FirePro card have random glitches throughout, so I have to use AME in order to turn off my FirePro during exports.
Please, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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?
Hello
I'm trying to export a premier cc sequence via adobe media encoder and somehow it tells me on ME that the rushes are offline.
I tried to clean the media cache both from premier and ME but it didn't help.

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:

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.
