Adobe media encoder cc will not save output file destination

Hello all,
Hopefully a simple issue here.  I'm running windows 7 and just downloaded AME CC.  I've tried over and over to save my output file destination in Preferences and have saved my media cache files to the same location and the saves will not take.  I was able to get it to go to the drive and folder I specified ONLY when I clicked the "Match Sequence Settings" tab in the AME pop up window.  My settings need to be different, so I leave the box unchecked.  Anyone else having this issue?  Can anyone help me out getting this simple function to work?  I saw a short thread on Creative Cow dated February 2013 with the same concern from a user and I did not see a resolution at the end.  I have not been able to find anything on this anywhere.  Sure, I can continue to manually save each file I render in AME, but it's a big PITA.  I finally was in between projects so I downloaded the CC upgrade and replaced my CS6 version and now I have this simple problem from an alleged upgrade?  Help please.
Thank you.
Todd

Premiere sequences queued to AME from the Export Settings dialog won't honor AME's output path preference.  Instead, they default to the last path used from Exp. Settings via Premiere.  However, you should be able to get the result you want by queue-ing to AME's default path once from Premiere, which will make it Premiere's default as well. 
Or, you could drag and drop your sequence from the Project panel directly into AME's queue; that will use AME's preference instead of Premiere's default path.

    Hello,
    I have Adobe Media Encoder CS4 installed on my computer and I'm trying to convert a .mov video into a format that can be edited on windows movie maker and when I convert the video it converts the audio just fine, but there is only a black screen. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • Adobe Media Encoder 2.5  Not Reading Canon XH-A1

    Adobe Media Encoder 2.5 Not Recognizing Canon XH-A1
    Vegas Bill - 01:34pm Sep 3, 2008 Pacific
    I have not been able to get the Canon XH-A1 to be recognized
    by the Adobe Flash Media Encoder v2.5. Get size error and sometimes
    configuration errors. Trying to do live stream with HD. Get error
    also stating the video size from the device is wrong size error.
    I get this on both XP and Vista Prem
    Any ideas of how to get this beast to connect live through
    the encoder or is there another solution for live stream to the
    media server 3? Need to get the Camera to feed live video directly
    from local camera & box to flash media server 3
    Thank you

    i have had this problem before and had to take my computer to the apl store were someone at the genius bar fixed it by deleting some preferences thing i do not remember how who did it or how he got to that file and need help to fix this problem

    Try Finder>Library>Preferences>Microsoft>com.microsoft.word.prefs.plist, and delete that last one.
    I don't know that it will solve your problem, but I'm pretty sure that's what the guy did before. Good luck!

    Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
    Problem Occurs when rendering the final output for the Medi Encoder and the GPU issue when I open a new project that used to use Mercury
    I also cannot seem to find the file within Premier Pro for "supported Cards" - I had this issue before and I just added my card to this list, this list seems to be missing.

  • Media Encoder CC will not install with PPCC on Mac OS 10.9

    After numerous tries after updating to Mavericks to install Media Encoder CC, it has failed each time. When trying to render projects in Premiere Pro CC a screen pops up that says I am using an old version of Media Encoder and need to update so I go to update and is says I have the most current version. I also have Media Encoder CS6 installed on this Mac which shows up under Applications but MECC does not. So, I have tried about three times to unistall Premiere Pro CC via the CC Cleaner Tool and upon reinstall, MECC still does not show up. Any thoughts?

    Moving this discussion to the Adobe Media Encoder forum.
    A/V Warrior I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to verify that no installation errors occurred.  Please see Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files.  Please feel free to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.
    Also in case it is applicable can you please provide the specifics regarding the computer hardware you are running Premiere Pro CC and the Adobe Media Encoder on?  Please see http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html for a guide of the hardware specifics which may be applicable.  You will also want to verify that you meet or exceed the system requirements.

  • Adobe Media Encoder - .wmv export not provided?

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on a Windows 7 machine.  I need render out a Windows Media format (.wmv) but it is not found in any of the presets or from the format drop-down menu.  Only F4V, FLV, H.264, H.264 (Legacy) and MP3 are available.
    I can't find any information that indicates that I need to install extra codecs, but I believe this is the problem.
    Or, maybe it's the version of Creative Suite that doesn't allow for certain file formats?
    Anyone?
    Thanks.

    Hi thanser,
    Adobe Media Encoder has all the codecs like QuickTime, WMV and others if you have any Video application Like, Premiere Pro, After Effects or SpeedGrade installed because these are royalty bearing codecs and can be activated if you have Video application installed and activated with the respective serial number. If you have license for Indesign, Illustrator or Photoshop you might not get these codecs. So, The video applications are provided with Master Collection suite or Production Premium suite and if you have any other suite you can only use Video Products as a trial for 30 days and get these codecs for a limited time.
    Regards,
    Vinay

  • Adobe Media Encoder lost sound and had 128MB file - Why?

    Guys,
    Any help would be appreciated. I usually use Adobe Media Encoder to convert my files to flv or f4l - But something happened on the way to the party - The file was an .avi file about 100MB and AME would give me a file of about 128MB with no sound and the conversion took about 11 minutes. Someone on another forum suggested Xilisoft Video Converter I had never used. This thing got the sound right file was 48MB and it was done in ONE MINUTE AND 48 SECONDS...
    Obviously I was doing something wrong with Adobe Media Encoder can anyone suggested what I was messing up.
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    I do not know exactly the setting to did in the AME, but this problem generally happned when you do not select to export the sound along with the video and do not set a compression for the output video.
    Hope this helps

  • Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I open a file

    Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I browse to open a file.
    I have a Creative Cloud subscription.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program through the Creative Cloud service. No change.

    Thanks for responding.
    Yes, I am trying to utilize Photoshop CS (8.0) and I run Windows 7.1. I installed this from Adobe's Creative Cloud. The program opens, and I am able to open a Photoshop file with it, but then Windows tells me that there is a problem and is shutting down. I'm not sure would the problem might be.

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 not recognising opacity/alpha values from After Effects

    Hello, I'm importing AE compositions directly into Media Encoder to output as 'Match Source - Medium Bitrate H.264' files. However Media Encoder is not recognising the opacity values of the layers in AE and the background images are coming out as opaque rather than partially transparent.
    How can I resolve this? If I render the movie from AE as a .mov then use Media Encoder it works fine, but that takes a lot more time.

    Can you post screenshots of your comp in After Effects and the result you are getting from AME?
    One issue you may be hitting is that AME is not aware of the composition background color. This is a limitation of Dynamic Link; because a primary use case of Dynamic Link is placing an After Effects composition, such as lower-thirds titles, into a Premiere Pro sequence, Dynamic Link ignores the background color of the composition and treats any the background pixels as alpha. In AME, since there is no compositing happening, black is used to fill in the alpha area.
    To work around this limitation, place a solid at the bottom of your composition layer stack that is the color of your background.
    You're welcome to submit this problem as a feature request: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

  • Elements not always opening and sometimes will not save a file

    I am fairly new to Photoshop having only previously owned PSE 10.  When i upgraded to 11, i was seriously impressed but now i have the most annoying problem.  Usually i can open a raw file sucessfully the first time and edit/process it with no problems but if i then try to open a second one, nothing happens.  If i open elements first and then open the file it will work but then, when it comes time to save the file, nothing happens.  there are no error messages, nothing  freezes, nothingn happens at all!
    The only thing that i  can think of is that i did a silly thing!  When i was looking in the folder with all my files, i saw the new .xmp file that is added after processing a raw file.  For some unknown reason, i thought that it would be a good idea to change the "opens with" setting for it.  I now do not know how to remove this setting or what to change it back to.  At the moment it is set to notepad.  I am not sure if this is relevant as i can usually open the first photo successfully and everything works.  It does, however, require a complete restart if i want to work on another picture.

    You can't do that with any email app. It's an email, not a document in a text editor or word processor.
    To save it as a separate document, click anywhere in the body of the email and press Command+C to copy it. Paste it into a blank Word document and save it.
