Adobe media encoder exports look pixelated and has artifacts.

Hello all,
For the past week we've been having terriable looking videos after compressing them with premiere pro 2014 or AME CC 2014. I though it might be a key framing issue at first. When we look at the final product we have areas where pixilation and artifacting show. We film on canon c500 so we edit with mxc files. We export out with the Youtube settings and adjust them manually. We have 2 areas we export for. 1280x720 at 4mbps and 1920x1080 at 10 to 15mps. We have never had this bad of looking video before we switched to cc2014. I work on Mac OS X 10.9.4 with a 6 core inter Xeon 32GB memory and we have the Kona LHi AJA graphics card.
Here is an example of what we are getting.
test2.mp4 - Box
If you look at around 3 seconds the whole screen will pixalate and you'll see artifacts for about 10 frames. It's really bad in my opinion and we can't display this. I called Adobe for support and after 2 hours they only trashed my preferences and took my complaint. That's all the help I've gotten so far.
Any help will be very appreciated.
thanks for you're time.

  • Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

    I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder.  I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me.  I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more.  This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

    Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

    The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

  • Adobe media encoder export error  "writer not found"

    When trying to export to wmv using adobe media encoder I get an export error of "writer not found". I did a search and found others having the same issue with no fix as far as I can see. Just wondering if anyone has any more iformation on this. I'm using Vista Ultimate and Premiere CS3.
    Thanks

    I registered the WMEncoderHelper.exe file with regserv, but I still get
    the "writer not found error". I wish I knew what codec it is trying to find and use.

  • Adobe media encoder CS4 - alised graphics and small black bars at 480x360 for web---HELP!

    I recently installed the CS4 premiere software with Adobe Media encoder. I encode video for the web.
    I have been a professional web video producer for over 10 years and have been using adobe products my whole career
    My issues are:
         1)  I can not get clean edges on my graphics when exporting a flash video (.flv or .f4v) using "field order: progressive" as it should be for web output. All my graphics are high quality and I have tryed many formats (.eps, .psd, .gif ,jpg, .pnd) but once I change the field order drop down in the encoder settings to "(none) progressive" the graphics become alised...
         2) My videos which are  a size of 480x360 now have small black bars at the top and bottom after encoding the original down to 480x360. I have tried to crop the video so the bar go away but the whole  video get fuzzy...WTF
    I have spent so many hours reading and searching trying to fix these two issued and I am thinking that I am going back to my old software and discrediting the new adobe product every chance i get!!!!!!!!!!
    I was previously using premiere pro 1.5, editing video and graphics and then exporting an uncompressed .mov file and then used Flash 8 Video Encoder to render a .flv file. This produced great video with crisp graphics.
    PLEASE HELP

    Stan,
    I was using the on2VP6 codec at data rates from 275k to 400k with good results. -- with the new CS$ endcoder i am used h.264 at 500k to 700k, video quality looks good but the graphic overlays look like alised crap. In the encoder settings the edges of the graphics get jaged when I make the field order progresive...
    I am starting with DV NTSC video at 720x480.
    I am going to go back to my old work flow and test it. The settings are a bit different from premiere pro 1.5 to CS4 -- in 1.5 i could export out an unconpressed .mov with square px and then bring that large file to flash media encoder to create the .flv

  • Adobe Media Encoder exports different video than what appears in CS4 timeline

    I'm using Premiere CS4 to edit a short skiing video.  All shots were taken using a GoPro @ 60fps, 720p.  All of the clips were converted into slow motion by using "Interpret Footage" and setting the frame rate to 24.  I used the sequence preset "AVCHD 720p 24", and editing seemed to work fine.  The video played smoothly and correctly.  However, after exporting in Adobe media encoder, the video was far different than what I previewed in the timeline.  It seems as though each clip shows up at the correct time, but it disregarded any trimming I did to the clips and each one is played from the very beginning.  Also, each clip plays extremely slowly, and there is signifigant ghosting (frame blending issue?).  I can also see that the preview window that shows up while I set the export settings displays the incorrect video as well.  However, if i change it from "source" to "output", it displays it correctly.  I tried exporting using H.264 720 24p and the youtube HD widescreen preset, both of which failed.  I am somewhat new to HD video, but I cannot seem to come up with any reason why my video will not export correctly.  Any thoughts?

  • Adobe Media Encoder Export Settings Window Dimensions Problem

    Any help on this would be appreciated: I'm on a macbook pro, osx 10.6, using CS4 Web Premium. I used to have an external monitor hooked up which had much higher resolution, so when using Adobe Media Encoder I'd click the Settings button on a video to get the Export Settings window, then stretched the Export Settings window to be the size of my external monitor. Now, I'm just using my laptop, and the export settings window does not have the resize buttons at top left to adjust it back to the size of my laptop, and the bottom third of the export settings window is getting cut off so I can't see the cancel/ok buttons etc.
    I've tried re-installing media encoder (via reinstalling flash using the CDs) to try to 'reset' the window sizes, didn't fix the problem.
    If anyone knows of any other preferences or something I could delete to fix this, I'd be one thankful dude.

    Yes, I was getting the same response. It means Adobe is not using OS native windows (shame on them!).I just tried something with CS4 that worked, though. Try this:
    Quit Media Encoder
    Go to UserHomeDirectory > Library > Preferences > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > 4.0 and delete the files called 'AMEPrefs.xml' and 'AppPrefs.xml'.
    Then restart Media Encoder. For me, this reset the window size and placement. I tried moving the Export Settings window down so half of it was off the bottom of the screen. Once I deleted these files and restarted, the window was smaller and repositioned.
    If that doesn't work, try downloading the demo of this product:
    http://irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/
    It says that Adobe programs are "trouble" programs, that they probably won't resize, but they should at least move. If nothing else, maybe you can move the window to a negative y value (up) so that the resize handle is visible, then move it back down so the header bar is visible again...

  • Adobe Media Encoder Export like source size

    Hey,
    i´m trying to set up a custom export setting based upon HD BlueRay Mpeg setting.
    My source is a custom size (1400 x 1050 px), but i am not able to change to "size as source".
    Any Ideas how to change that?
    THX
    MArco

    Marco,
    You can use AME to encode a 1400x1050 M2V file.
    You need to use the generic MPEG2 format (not Blu-ray or DVD) and change the Level to High. (High 1440 will also work, but it is designed for specific applications.) You will also need to set the Profile to Main or High.
    The most important factor is what type of MPEG2 streams your playback device will support. That will be important for setting the Profile and Level values, which constrain the bitrate and therefore the frame size/frame rate of the MPEG2 stream. (This is what Mylenium was referring to.)
    Read this for more technical detail about different Profiles and Levels:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.262/MPEG-2_Part_2#Video_profiles_and_levels
    You cannot transfer encoding presets between After Effects and AME. However, remember than you can encode an After Effects comp directly from AME without rendering an intermediate comp first. Either drag and drop the comp from AE's Project panel into the AME queue, or simply import the AE project into AME, and choose the comp you wish to render. In the next version of After Effects, this process will be much easier with the introduction of a new Add To Adobe Media Encoder command from within After Effects.

    If you want to contact in-person support for AME, visit the following page and choose After Effects as the product (there is no AME option because AME is not sold separately).

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder with After Effects and ExtendScript

    Hi,
    I'm trying to automate the process of encoding a video using the Adobe Media Encoder. The project I'm working on includes allowing a user to upload a video and having that video then be encoded in different formats. I'm very new to After Effects and ExtendScript, but the two ways I see of doing this are:
    1) Use ExtendScript to fire the Adobe Media Encoder through After Effects, using the 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue' function. I'm not sure if this is possible or not.
    2) Bypass After Effects all together and use the 'watch folder' function in Adobe Media Encoder and upload the files directly to that folder.
    I'd prefer to go route 1, if that's possible, but I'm not sure it is. I was thinking that I could write a script to work with Adobe Media Encoder to encode a given video, but from what I've read, ExtendScript isn't currently supported by Adobe Media Encoder? This is true? What would be the best way to go about accomplishing this?
    Thanks.

    I think you will have a much easier time just using option 2. I have to ask, why do you want the files to go through After Effects anyway? If you are just taking a file and converting it to ## different formats...the watch folder setup in AME would be super easy to setup.
    All you need to do is ensure the user submitted files end up in a certain directory -- make that folder your watch folder and create a second folder within that one called 'encoded' or something along those lines. That way as long as AME is online and watch folders are active....you won't have to do a thing.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Exporter.cpp 396 Error

    Hi,
    I'm receiving this error when I try to convert a .mpg to a .flv. I have Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 running on windows 7 x64. I have also encounted this error on Windows 7 x32.
    I can use CS4 to convert the video but I would love to use CS5.5 as I am removing CS4 soon.
    I tried to search around for this error but it seems no one else has come across it yet.
    Much appreciated if I could get this working today.

    Dito, I'm having the same problem.
    Any solution yet?

  • Dynamic link after effects and adobe media encoder

    Hello,
    I recently downloaded After Effects cc (yesterday). I am running a mac pro with OSX 10.9.3 2.3 ghz intel core i7 with 16 gb 1600 MHz DDR3.
    On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore. I am trying to use AME to export however I am having issues.
    When I try to send to AME from the Composition tab in AE it looks like it is doing something and then nothing happens. I then opened AME separately and tried to "add after effects comp" from the file menu in AME the error message displayed was "Could not connect to Adobe After effects. Please verify that Adobe After effects and Adobe Dynamic link components are installed".
    I have also tried to drag and drop my composition directly from AE to AME and the following message appears "Dynamic link error - Source is empty"
    I have read a multitude of threads on this issue and this is definitely not a firewall issue. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

    > On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore.
    Why do you think that? You can still use the render queue in After Effects to render and export directly out of After Effects.
    That said, there are some formats that Adobe Media Encoder handles better.
    > and this is definitely not a firewall issue
    How have you determined that?
    Does exporting to QuickTime (.mov) format from After Effects work? How about the 3D Camera Tracker and Warp Stabilizer effects? The reason that I ask about these is that they use the same communication mechanism that Dynamic Link does, so if they also fail, then it tells us something about where the problem is.

  • Adobe Media Encoder wont preserve widescreen

    I have a mp4 file that has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels.
    When viewed in VLC it looks natural and in proportion. I simply
    want to convert the .mp4 file to an .flv file for web distribution
    maintaining the existing dimensions. I am attempting to do this
    with Adobe Media Encoder.
    The problem is that Adobe Media Encoder insists on converting
    the file to a 4:3 aspect ratio with a resolution of 480x360 pixels.
    Viewing the output in VLC results in a squashed out of proportion
    image. The output preview in Adobe Media Encoder also looks
    squashed.
    When I select the option to specify the output dimensions and
    manually set the resolution back to 640x360, in then adds to solid
    black bars on the right and left-hand sides of the video which is
    undesirable - aswell as making the video squashed. I have messed
    around with every setting and have had no joy in producing the
    output I require.
    I have a command line version of ffmpeg which is able to
    convert the video successfully (keeping the correct aspect ratio)
    using the most basic command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.flv . I
    don't want to resort to using ffmpeg at this point. I just spent
    $1200 AU to upgrade to CS4 Design Premium and want to use the nice
    GUI I just paid for :)
    Any help would be appreciated. Has anyone has a similar
    problem with AME CS4 (I found at least one instance on the web)?
    IMO it is a bug with the software - or a limitation, please tell me
    I am wrong!

    I am having the same problem, with the same dimensions - 640x360, coming from a very high quality .avi, and not matter how I tweak the settings AME insists on crushing the width down to what appears to be the standard 582px. What gives? I haven't seen any answers to this yet...

  • Premiere stops when opening tab "Adobe Media Encoder"

    Working with Premiere CS3
    When I want to export movie to flv, I open File-> Export-> Adobe Media Encoder
    Then I have to select, but since a few days when I click the Adobe Media Encoder button, Premiere stops and is out of service.
    When I start up Premiere again, it repeats.
    Yesterday I've downloaded Quicktime (of a CD which needed it for playing).
    But after uninstall Quicktime, the problem is still there.
    So I've set back the date to Wednesday (two days ago) but nothing will help.
    How can I solve this problem?

    More information would be very useful. This ARTICLE will give you tips on what types of info are needed, and how to gather some of it.

  • Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

    Hi.
    I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character.  Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
    The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
    The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps.  I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project.  (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
    Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
    Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
    Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context.  It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
    If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps?  I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
    Thanks

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
    I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels).  I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio.  i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think).  But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
    Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
    Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
    Thanks

  • AME CC 2014: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."

    Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on MacPro "mid-2012" (MacPro5,1) running OSX 10.9.3 and getting this error when trying to launch Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014:
    Adobe Media Encoder Error
    Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue.
    Have uninstalled, reinstalled.  Checked and fixed permissions numerous times.  Tried removing all plugins and that didn't fix.  Also tried editing the text listings within the .app for OpenGL and CUDA to remove all cards listed - that didn't fix anything either.
    At this point it's uninstalled and "hopefully" everything will point to CC (non-2014 version).  Adobe Media Encoder CC works fine.  Adobe Media Encoder CS6 works fine.
    Cannot find any other reports of this issue.

    Progress in trying to fix.  This workaround was NOT successful on previous attempts, but now appears to be working.  Seems like the trick was to have AME CC 2014 started and open BEFORE doing any of this?  As always, make sure all of your permissions are set properly - had done that numerous times previously.  My issue was NOT directly permission related.
    Navigate to the following folder:
    You may see a file SHORTCUT that is invalid called "Presets":
    Remove/delete this file.  It's a broken shortcut.
    Move a folder of .EPR files into the "8.0" folder.  Call it anything except "Presets".  Go to AME CC 2014 and quit.  (I was greeted with another crash message.)
    Open AME CC 2014 again.  Your presets will not be loaded yet, but you should see an XML file that was created in your new folder like this:
    Delete this file.
    You should see a new folder also created by AME called "Presets".  Move your .EPR files into this folder and delete the original folder.  Quit AME CC 2014.  (I was greeted with ANOTHER crash message.)
    Open AME CC 2014.  Your preset files should be there at the top under the preset browser:
    Probably a good idea to keep a copy of those .EPR files elsewhere
