In After Effects CS6-
I'm working on revising compositions and was wondering if there is a way to send it directly to the Media Encoder as easily as adding it to the regular render queue.
Is there some way to make the render queue link to ME?
Trying to bypass having to open the encoder link every time.
Hi
I've exported a video from AME using h.264 with youtube preset but the quality is really bad, both PC and Mac (Worked fine with CS6) and when i export it with vbr, 1 pass it works fine also
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thank you
Platform:
10.9.2 on a MacPro 2014, 64GB RAM, D500's 6-core
Issue:
Media Encoder hangs when rendering a 97 minute project as a DCP using wraptor plugin. Always gets to a different frame before stalling - furthest i've gotten is 25 minutes in.
I've also tested the Wraptor plugin on an older machine with an NVIDIA 4800 using CUDA and had the same result. As the source i've tried rendering from the timeline via dynamic linking AND from an assembled Quicktime - neither works, same symptoms.
Any suggestions / experience using Wraptor successfully on long files? (NOTE: It DOES work when rendering smaller portions of the film, but never for the full film).
I haven't been able to start Adobe Encoder CC as a Stand alone or from with in premiere CC. I get can't start because xerces-c_3_0.dll is missing error. I uninstalled like it says and redownload then reinstall after a reboot. I've done this process twice.
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.
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.

Encoding is very slow with AME CC 2014. Resource monitor shows only one of the eight CPUs working while the rest are parked. This was not happening in CC version. Is there anything I can do to control this? I happen to be exporting to h264 Bluray. Says it has 2 1/2 hours remaining, which is way tool long for this project.
For some reason my h.264 videos do not look good on Youtube when played in HD.
Is there anyway to convert my mp4 or avi videos to VP9 or h.265 - Just to even test it.
I already use adobe after effects but couldn't find the option in media encoder.
Appreciate any help, thanks.

Ideally, I would like to import three videos into the Adobe Media Encoder for re-encoding and merge them together into only one resulting video file. Is this possible?
I got a new computer Saturday and had hoped to see a difference in encoding time, but thus far it appears to be about the same. Specs are: Windows 8.1 (64), 32GB RAM, i7 4770 @ 3.5Ghz, GeForce GTX760 (not CUDA supported), 120GB SSD for OS and Adobe, and Adobe CC 2014. I've got a 4 minute video that I shot in 29.97fps 1080p and am exporting to same. Only effects are Warp Stabilizer and a couple Lumetri Looks effects. All have been rendered. AME 2014 took approximately 45 minutes to export. I checked the memory settings, and 27GB of the 32GB is usable by Premiere, AME, etc, and has been optimized for performance. My old computer had CUDA support, and this one doesn't - is this the major difference? However, render time in Premiere is significantly faster. Do I have some settings wrong that are slowing down export speed?
using CS5 on windows 7 64bit and trying to convert from mpeg2 files, Green square pixalation blocks apearing randomly but alway in the same spots after a re-encode on output files regardless of output settings
has anyone seen this before and how can I resolve it?
The After Effects 2014 update has frustrated me endlessly as I had no problem before rendering directly from After Effects to H.264 without creating ridiculously huge file sizes. Now the .mov it creates are huge, but anyway, working around this issue I can either render the huge file size in After Effects and then compress it using Encoder, or load the composition directly into Encoder and render it from there.
Here is where my problem is...
If I choose the first option and wait for the enormous .mov file to be rendered out of After Effects and then compress it to a H.264, I get a final result that looks the way I designed it, but like I said it is a tedious, time-consuming method.
If I choose the second option and open the composition in Encoder i.e. the shortcut method, Encoder seems to completely ignore the opacity values from After Effects! My background images aren't faded and some white background images have come out as black!! I really can't figure out what is causing this. I am rendering out using 'Match Source - High bitrate'. Help please!
I have the latest version of AME CC 2014.
I often keep my PC on for many days, editing and rendering clips.
I've noticed with the new version of AME CC 2014, that after my PC has been up for a bit - the render slows down. A 15 minute clip will take 1.5 hours to render; whereas, normally the same clip will take 25 minutes to render using the Mercury Playback engine GPU Acceleration.
I then need to reboot my whole PC, and AME will render in full speed again.
Any suggestions on why this maybe happening?

I am trying to encode a two hour sequence and the audio is completely out of sync in a few locations. I encoded this same sequence 4 times and each time the audio is out of sync is different areas. All the footage was shot with an HD Flip Cam, and I've been encoding footage shot on the this camera for 5 months with no problems. It plays perfectly in Premiere. The sequence is twice the length as my others, but I can't imagine Adobe can't handle that.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I'm trying to encode the video to Windows media. The footage is 1280x720 (1), 30,000 fps, 44100 Hz-compressed.
The sequence is 1280x720 (1) 29,97 fps 48000 Hz - Stereo.
I'm on a learning curve here as I'm still learning editing as well as understanding Adobe.
Any help would be so very appreciated.
Thanks,

I used the AME Wraptor 3.1 codec to create two DCP files to play at a Curzon cinema screening. They both played back fine on QUVIS DCP Player on my macbook, but when loaded onto the cinema's server they show up as a second long and keep crashing the whole system. The cinema say they're is a problem with the file - I need some advice urgently as the screening is tomorrow!
Hello,
I'm using a workstation with an Intel core i7 (quadcore) and a professional Nvidia quadro graphics card. The system has 16GByte Memory. The OS is Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit.
The Media Encoder CC offers two rendering options: "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)" and "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only".
Even plain video re-encoding (import a video file, create composition without any changes and send it to the encoder) is _horribly_ slow. And it doesn't make any difference whether I select the CUDA-accelerated renderer or the software-version. The time needed is the same.
The freeware tool "Handbrake" encodes the same file almost 10 times faster without any CUDA options. Of course on the same machine.
I already had a view on the log-files. There is no error shown (only some tasks interrupted by the user).
Does anyone know what's going on here?
Hey guys!
I'm a consultant in a broadcast room and we are currently working on updating our workflow. As of right now I have hit a little bit of a roadblock. We have a play back server by Grass Valley called a K2, it takes MXF files better than any fomat so we have made that our standard format for video playback. Converting to MXF from any video fromat works flawlessly with Adobe Media Encoder, I have set up a Watch folder and told the media managers in the room to drop the files they want encoded into a specified folder on the desktop and it will convert it to MXF. Then I changed the output folder to a shared folder on the K2 system. The roadblock I have hit is when we want to back convert these files. Likewise the K2 will allow me to save out the videos as MXF's so I created another watchfolder in the Shared folder titled "Pro Res 422". My goal was that the media managers could send the MXF from the K2 to that folder and they would then be transcoded as a MOV Pro Res 422. This obviously works and I get a MOV file but every single video has failed red frames, and it always seems like its the exact same frame no matter what video. It's always around 30 seconds.
Below are the transcode settings I have, system infromation and version.
All help is appreciated! Thank you!

Before I installed the CC 2014 update, I had on my windows 7 machine, DNxHD options in my export formats. Now I have "DNxHD MXF OP1a". Forgive my ignorance, but is this right? why the change? I also have an "MXF OP1a" option lower in the list.
Anyway, I am attempting to transcode some FS700 59.94 MTS files. When I add them I'm getting DNX 90 1080p 59.94. (1.0) square pixel. Everything looks fine. I render out and bring the footage in PP and it looks and behaves properly. However, if I bring the footage into some other software, like Resolve, it brings the footage in at 1440x1080. When I look at the clip details in PP, it indeed states that the MXF wrapper is 1440x1080, while the footage is 1920x1080. Obviously where the discrepancy is.
If I render using DNX 290 or 440, it works fine. The MXF wrapper says 1920x1080. The footage works with everything. It's only at the lower rate that I get this error.
Can someone please tell me if this is a bug or if I'm failing to understand something?
So apparently Adobe has changed their settings in CC 2014 and Adobe After Effects no longer has the H.264 container, and is only offered as a codec for Qucktime. I've been told I have to go into Adobe Media Encoder for the H.264 codec. That's fine, problem is that Adobe Media Encoder does not really have any options for Alpha. From my understanding you have to set it to 32bpc for it to do alpha in a file, which did not seem to work, but that's irrelevant now because that's not what I need. I need to render out two files for a batch list, one with just RGB files and one with just alpha. I talked to someone from Adobe and they suggested I post here. Let me know if you need details.
Thank you very much.
