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.
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:
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?
I am fully aware that Adobe does not "officially" support Media Encoder scripting through ExtendScript in the way they do for most of the other applications. But it is possible:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170163/is-adobe-media-encoder-scriptable-with-extends cript
However, it only seems that the script can be run by opening up the ExtendScript Toolkit and manually clicking the green arrow which causes the script to run.
Naturally, this is far from ideal. For other Adobe applications, such as After Effects, the script can be run from command line in the following fashion:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2018\Support Files\afterfx.exe" -r "script/path/here.jsx"
(See here for a reference: Run .jsx File From Command Line Windows )
However, when trying the same thing for Adobe Media Encoder (replacing it with the appropriate path), no such luck. Although the Media Encoder window becomes active, the script does not run.
Another thought was to put `#target ame` at the beginning of the script and then try running it with ExtendScript directly. When doing so, you get this window:
Unfortunately, clicking "Yes" does absolutely nothing.
The goal here is to be able to run my .jsx script for Media Encoder in some kind of automated fashion, without having to open ExtendScript and manually click on the green arrow each time. Surely there's some way to do this, but apart from the methods I've tried above which don't work, I cannot think of anything. What exactly is clicking that little green arrow doing, and is there any way to emulate that click from command line? I'm willing to try anything to enable me to run this script completely automated.
Any ideas?!?
For reference, I am using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2017 and Windows 10 build 14393.
I have a vertical video at 1080x1920 that I need rotated 90° counterclockwise on export, is this possible though Media encoder? Thanks!
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
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.
I have a user that experiences this once a month. He has an active Creative Cloud, all apps, subscription. Every month Media Encoder throws this error:
I have tried other suggestions I've found via Google: updating (if necessary) Media Encoder to latest version, signing out and back in to Adobe account but these haven't worked. The only solution that works is to uninstall and reinstall Media Encoder. This is an unacceptable disruption and means my user can't use the software we've paid for until I intervene (we have a very locked down environment and software installation by ordinary user is strictly forbidden).
The subscription has never been on a trial basis, license was purchased before the software was installed. Computer in question is Windows 7 Pro x64.
Any ideas?
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 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?
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.
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.

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)
Windows Version 10.0.15063 Build 15063
Intel HD graphics P530
NVIDIA Quadro M1000M
and here's what I get about why my rendering is failing

I just updated both Premiere and Encoder to the latest versions and opened an older Premiere project (from CC 9.1) to export them through Encoder as 422HQ Quicktime file. Both open fine and seem to export fine directly through Premiere, and Queue up fine in Encoder...however, the encoding fails instantly (before any progress bar can even appear).
Consistently getting the following error on any Quicktime export (422, 422HQ, Animation, etc.) although H264 renders work fine. Any ideas? I've never seen such a long error code, nor had renders fail so quickly.
Running CC on a 2012 iMac, 3.2Ghz Intel Core i5 running OS 10.11.6.
Thanks for any insight!
