Where are the presets contained on a Mac? I've looked every where. Loaded the Pro Res presets to many times & there are multiples showing up in AME. Confussing & I would like to delete them.

Video Encoding for DVD with Media Encoder
I've been struggling to get more videos on a DVD. Since I'm not an expert on this. Most of my vides are about an hour long and are mostly PowerPoint slides and screen capture of programming demonstrations.
I just keep wondering why DVDs I get to watch TV shows can have 4-6 hours of media when I can barely get two.
Any help would be appreciated.

No ProRes HQ Presets
The Adobe provided presets have ProRes 422 and and ProRes LT but no ProRes HQ, which is all I work with. Any way to get HQ presets for AME?

how max cpu for AME?
so it makes some sense that AME would not max out my cpu if its supposed to render in the background- but is there a way that I can tell AME to use all available resources on a render? currently when i send files from premiere to AME to render it is only utilizing 20-50% of cpu, how can I increase that to 100% ? For comparrison, if i render directly in Premiere i get the same 20-50% but in AE if i render a comp - it will utilize 60-85% of cpu, and other programs like xilisoft video converter if i convert 1 video it will utilize 60-70% of cpu. Things i have tried without success: 1. rendering project which is on one SSD to an alternate SSD 2. shutting down all other adobe programs when AME is rendering.

AME Encoding is Rubbish
I have not gotten an satisfactory explanation on why AME CC2014 is absolute rubbish at encoding a ProRes422 files that is 58 minutes in duration. I was on another forum thread, however the fix works for Windows but NOT Mac.
In CC it takes between 10 and 15 minutes. Right now in CC 2014 the EXACT SAME FILE is at 16 plus hours. This is the same whether I encode form Premiere Pro or from Media Encoder. The clips in the timeline are ProRes422 files with NO transitions, effects, generators, After Effects comps. It is a software render. If I choose OpenGL it makes absolutely no difference.
Macintosh
Processor 2x2.4 GHZ Quad Core Intel Xeon
12 GB ram
ARI Radeon HD 5770 1024md
OSX 10.9.3
Since the project is in Premiere Pro CC2014 I'm stuck. I tried to copy my sequences and put them in Premiere Pro CC but that doesn't work. I have deadlines and this glitch or whatever is costing me money. Since I pay every month for a service I expect it to bloody work.
Is Adobe going to reimburse me for the extra time and energy I have to spend dealing with ridiculous issues that should have been dealt with in a Beta version before being released onto paying customers who are having clients breath down their necks because of deadlines not being met? Do you really think a client cares that a software glitch from Adobe is costing them money by not being able to have their show ready for broadcast?
I want a bloody fix or answer to this problem. If there is now then tell me how to get the few projects I have in CC2014 back to CC. Because right now I see no reason to be paying every month for software that DOES NOT WORK.
Hear is a screen capture of the ridiculous encoding time and my Activity Monitor.

Encoder keeps crashing with camera MTS files during batch operation
I am trying to convert MTS files to WMV and I am constantly getting crashes.
"Microsoft WIndows: Close programs to prevent information loss... Your computer is low on memory...Adobe Media Encoder.exe"
and
"Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event: Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-785]"
I do have 8gb of memory with no other programs running and this is 1080/60 converted to 720/30 video and TaskManager shows I have memory to spare.
I have a lot of these and it's neccessary that I do a batch encode. The thing is that I can usualy encode the first item in the list but as the second one begins it crashes.
So it is possible for these files to be encoded successfully (the file plays fine) but the batch process is failing. It is not dependant on the specific file but just any file that isn't the first one in the list it seems.

AME CS6 rendering with AE and Pr takes too long
Hi Guys,
Need some help here. i have rendered a 30 secs mp4 video with 1920 x 1080 HD format 25 frames w/o scripting in AME for 4 hours!
Why does it take too long? I have rendered a 2 minute video with same format w/ scripting but only spare less than 30 minutes for rendering.
Im using After Effects and Premium Pro both CS6 and using Dynamic Link in AME.
What seems to be wrong in my current settings?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Encoding at level 5.0?
Hello,
I am trying to encode a PP project in H264 format 1920x1080 NTSC with the maximum possible quality for screening in a festival.( I am used to PAL systems, never encode in NTSC)
. In my encoding settings I selected the following
- 1920x1080
- NTSC
- 23.976 images/second
- Main Profile
- Level 5.0.
- Render to maximum depth
- VBR 2 Passes
- Target bit rate (Mbits/s) 40
- Maximum Mbits/second : 70
What happened is that the
Image/s rate was automatically changed from 23.976 I/s to 59.94 I/s (I am used to Pal systems, I don't know what 59.94 I/s is)
Are the Target and Maximum bitrate and the Level (5.0) I selected correct for highest quality? I watched several tutorials and pages about this topic in the Adobe TV but all these tutorials tend to explain how to optimize the size of the output file not how to obtain the maximum quality. I need to make a MP4 file.
The project was made with Première Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 - I am working with a PC - the source sequence is 1920x1080 25i/s.
Thanks for any help!

How to change variable frame rate to constant?
Hello,
I am exporting a mpeg HDV file that has a constant frame rate to a H264 video (.mp4) video to upload to a web-base video player. I'm actually using the preset in Media Encoder "YouTube HD 720p 29.97".
The online video web interface I use requires a constant frame rate. But when looking at the video in MediaInfo it shows the video file as a variable frame rate. After looking through the settings in Media Encoder I cannot find any option to correct that. I see where you can change the frame rate and it is at 29.97. So you would think it would be constant but it is not. And it does not have any settings, that I can see, to change from variable to constant. I do see the bitrate settings, but that is not the issue.
I also have Apple Compressor and that successfuly does a constant frame rate, but if possible I'd rather use Adobe Media Encoder. So does anybody know how to change this setting? Thank you

Adobe Premier - export issue
Hi, I’m having some trouble exporting a video with Premiere. I made a clip in After Effects (dimensions: 1280x560 px, 16:7 — frame rate: 29,97 fps — square pixels — progressive), then I exported it in Quicktime Animation lossless format and imported the clip in Premiere to compress it (I’ve set the new project with the same settings, same dimensions - frame rate - pixel proportions - progressive). Now, the clip looks nice in Premier when I look at it in the preview/program panel, but when I open the export panel it looks blurry, degraded (it looks blurry in the output panel but also in the source panel). If I try to export it looks blurry (export H.264 vbr 2 pass max quality). Do you have any idea why it happens? Thanks a lot!

Media Encoder error about activation when exporting in activated version of Premiere CS4
I get the following error when I try to export media in Premiere CS4 (Note: I have a legal and activated copy of CS4 Master Collection). In Premiere, it appears to go through (the loading progress bar fills and then disappears) but when I check the folder, it's empty. And then I notice that there's another icon in my taskbar and oh hey, it says "AMT Subsystem Error: Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS5. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not activated. Please launch and activate that Adobe product before continuing to use Media Encoder."
I'm using Windows 7 x64 (8gb of RAM). I tried installing the patch as suggested in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/719451 but it only claimed to not have the corresponding program installed. I tried checking to see if there were any updates - there weren't.
A quick check on my computer reveals that both Media Encoder CS4 and CS5 are installed. I looked to see if there was a way to uninstall the CS5 version but didn't see it. The only way I think I could have gotten it was though some sort of Adobe update.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

Download previous versions of Adobe Media Encoder through Creative Cloud?
Hi,
I have recently installed Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 as part of the Creative Suite, but I would like to use a previous version of Media Encoder (such as 5.5 or 6) that supports exporting to .flv.
This is part of my current work flow to get 3D animation content in to Flash (embedding is the best way for me).
Your documentation states that I can download previous versions of software, but i cannot find where to download a previous version of Media Encoder for the mac platform.
Can you advise please?
Thanks,

Adobe Design Premium exporting MPEG II
I am working on a client PC. They have adobe design premium cs5.5 (a version of the CS package I am not familiar with).
it is running on windows 7 64 bit professional.
They want to export MPEG II (for DVD) and H264 versions of files from a quicktime LT master.
I am seem to have very limited export setting available within media encoder, and no MPEG II. Any suggestions on whether this is a set up problem, a legacy codec not included in adobe design premium 5.5 or some other problem which I have not thought of?

After Effects project not updating
Hi
I have an issue with media encoder, when I use media encoder to render a After Effects project and then need to make a change to the original AE project and re render I’m finding that the change is not reflected when I re open that file in media encoder.
I take it that media encoder is caching the file but then why is the cached version not updating?
Any help please

Simple crop and the file size triples
Good day,
I'm trying to figure out why a video encoded using AME comes out with a much bigger file size than the original. Even if all I'm doing is using it to trim the source file. No change in settings, bit rate, dimensions etc.
In the current example I'm taking a webex recordings and trimming out some dead space in the beginning. I've lowered every setting (video and audio) I can to it's lowest potential and the resulting file looks worse than the original and is triple the file size. Both the source and the result are .mp4.
Please assist. The is making the files go from email-able to not. Making a video shorter shouldn't make it larger....
Thank you for your help.

Urgent: constant Crash Media encoder, premiere pro CC and CC2014.
(Sorry by advance, its an Google trad)
Hello everyone!
I meet great difficulties with Premier Pro and Media encode CC and CC2014.
When I want to wire my pending projects that I go through File> Import (or even composition After Premier) or I simply do a drag / drop in Media Encoder .... Half the time it crashes, not charging Dynamic link not or crash Premier pro ..... with CC versions like 2014 .... I have no particular error message. However I have to process the killer Dynamic link, adobe (in general: QT32 server, Adobe ipCbrocker, PProHeadless.exe) via the Windows task manager. If not impossible to reopen the software.
I also noticed that even when the software does not crash, I close the first or afx or other software will not come out of the process, there is ad infinitum in the active process.
When I still manage to import my sequences in MediaEncoder, this plant some encodings but not all .... no particular reason and not telling me why he crashed. If it does not crash, it runs in a loop on the same image and I have to stop myself encoding, which never end. Knowing that all my files are part of a series, there has exactly the same things in it in terms of editing, effects etc.. Which by the way is only melted ....
Rush are my MXF files. And I use the Dynamic Link to import my sequences between Premier Pro and afx. Although it makes me exactly the same problem that I import directly my first or I go through Dynamic Link.
I'm on:
Windos Seven PRo 64bit.
I have a 3.33GHz i7 X980
Nvidia GTX480 driver 337.88 (the latest what)
AND 16GB RAm
My cache is not full, I empty it regularly. It is a hard look at projects and never moves.
So, if anyone has the same problem or knows a solution, I'm interested.
It falls at the wrong time, I have 200 to encode videos in one month.
Thank you in advance.

AME CS5.5 hangs on "Reading XMP"
Been having this issue ever since I upgraded to 5.5...
Finish a video in Premiere, export to AME, click the play/start encode. In the encode status, it gets to "Processing: Reading XMP" and simply hangs there indefinitely (hours). Clicking to stop/pause the encode doesn't actually stop it, only way to do anything is to force-quit AME. Then it won't re-open until a restart. Only way I can export my final video from Premiere is the direct export, which works well enough when it's a single video basis, but when I want to do a batch of exports, or continue editing something else while exporting, this completely puts me at a stand-still.
Any idea what's with AME just stalling out on me here?

CUDA Accelerated Exports
Recently I've been exporting lots of Canon MXF into Quicktime wrapped MOV's along with a WMV preview. I was looking at my maximus configuration live usage graphs and notice when the WMV was completed the GPU's dropped to 0% while the MOV was still encoding. If there are only selected formats that benefit from the CUDA Exporter is there a list of those somewhere? I'm sure I probably just missed it.

No timecode when transcoding 4K XDCAM to 4K ProRes
I just transcoded some 4K XDCAM clips to 4K ProRes 422 and then imported to Premiere Pro. All of the ProRes clips now have timecode that starts at 00.00.00.00. If I import the clips into premiere from the original XDCAM source the proper timecode is there. I'm using the latest, as of 6/7/14 CC versions of both AME and PPro. The XDCAM sources have all the original MXF container material in their proper folders. I cannot find any controls in AME that have to do with timecode and assume that AME is always passing the timecode information through during encoding, but it's not working in my setup. Help ? Thanks.
