Adobe Media Encoder for AE export creates unwanted black background on load in white background

Hi. I have a seamless white website design. I added a white background to my AE file and also exported to Adobe Media Encoder with a white background, but I'm still getting a flash of black when the video loads. I have read discussions of this being a "bug" of the media encoder, but curious if anyone found a workaround. It's distracting to have the back load to black and then change to white, so I appreciate any recommendations. For now, my only idea it to re-record the video after the black flash, using a screen capture app, but this seems tedious and does not produce optimum results. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your reply!
I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

  • 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 for CS4 error Could not read from the source

    Hello,
    I get an error when I try to export from Premiere CS4. It doesn't matter how I export. Seems like an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated:
    - Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\ARTWHI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\extra and b roll.prproj
    - Output File: E:\Living Accused Movie Transfers\video\Cindy at table.avi

    When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
    Do one or both of the following solutions:
    Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Close all Adobe applications.
    In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
    Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
    Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
    Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
    Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
    Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
    Do one of the following:
    Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
    Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
    Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
    Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
    Re-install your Adobe software.

  • Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
    While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails.  Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
    Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
    Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
    More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
    Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
    Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.

    I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset.  AME fails every time with the following message:
    "Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error."
    Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine.  The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
    All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime.  I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
    Interesting.
    Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

  • Adobe Media Encoder - Issue with exporting file

    When I send a file to Adobe Media Encoder and I hit queue I get an error, "could not read from source file, please check if it has been moved or deleted".
    The source file location that the AME is trying to use is C:\Users\User Name\AppData\local\temp\file name.prproj
    Is this file location correct?
    Why is not using my scratch disk file?
    How do I change the file that AME is trying to use?
    I have not been able to export a video since I have purchased Premiere CS4.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    If you want a quick work-around do not try exporting from Premiere, just save and exit the project after you are through editing.  Open AME and under File, select Add Premiere Pro Sequence, browse for your project file and click on it once--have patience Adobe's feedback here is lousy--your sequence will finally appear in the Sequence window, click on it and then click on OK.  Select your Format,.Preset and Output location.  If you want to tweak your settings just click on the Settings button.  Then hit Start Queue.
    Do you have the project on an external removable drive?

  • Add Metadata, Options to Open in Adobe Media Encoder for Video Files

    I was surprised to discover that some basic information about video files is not shown. For example, the duration of a QuickTime video is not shown.
    Also, there is no option to open an MOV file in Adobe Media Encoder.
    It would be nice to have this basic support for video.

    Anyone know where I can grab this update for Adobe Media Encoder CS2? Seems like all links to it are dead, and unfortuently Adobe feels the need not to host old updates to old programs, I assume to force you to later versions.

  • Adobe Media Encoder for Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

    I currently have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these issues exporting before. My timeline is less than 3 minutes long, but it does deal with multiple big files. It rendered perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export it using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually only a few seconds in!) and then crashes, so that I have to force quit. I have tried exporting it as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried creating a new project entirely and whipping together a few titles and exporting that to see if it just won't export anything at all. The new project exported just fine, however, which I suppose is good news. But yeah, my work on that other project is very important to me and I reallllly want to export it. Please help!

    Hi Jim! Thank you for your reply. I think you are right -- and that it lies in the audio somehow!
    It turns out that if I choose to only export the video, and uncheck audio, it will export very well and smoothly. That's great news for me!
    However, now I am trying to work out how to get the audio exported without issues. I actually had the idea of just playing the audio in the timeline and recording it via Stereo Mix, but my Windows 7 driver has Stereo Mix disabled, so it's back to square one. Any ideas of what I can do about the corrupted audio not exporting, which works fine when played in the timeline?

  • How to change render resolution of After Effects project in Adobe Media Encoder for an H264 preview?

    I'd like to render a 1080i comp at half resolution or third resolution in AME to speed up render times for low-res previews. I just had a low-res H264 preview take 5 minutes to encode in AE, and 28 minutes in AME.
    This is easily accomplished in the After Effects render settings. However, the "video" option in AME seems to imply the project is encoded at that resolution, not rendered at it.
    I went into AE and changed the setting in the composition viewport to "half", but when I queue it up in AME, the "Match Source" button still indicates 1080.
    What is the correct method to get the results I want?
    I'm currently using AE CC and AME CC on Windows.

    Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down. It would be helpful to provide some kind of list of what comp settings carry over into AME from After Effects. Is it essentially everything that is enabled in the Timeline? (I know that motion blur settings do.)
    I'll put this in a feature request, but yes, we need the other half of After Effects Render Queue in AME in order for AME to be a good replacement for rendering from AE. I'll give you my thoughts on why Render Settings are essential before you would actually want to render with AME instead of doing so because you have to (either because you want to render in the background, or need a codec that has been removed from AE.)
    1. Speed: Simply applying a Render Settings preset is much faster than manually setting motion blur, frame blending, work area, etc.
    2. Reliability: Not being able to apply a Render Settings preset at the time of render is a recipe for missing a crucial setting buried in a comp, then having to redo a render and wasting time.
    3. Features: As noted above, there is no way to approximate Render Queue's ability to change resolutions at render, which results in a lot of wasted time when that feature is needed.
    Render Settings I think are crucial to making AME rendering worthwhile for AE users:
    1. Rendering resolution
    2. Work Area/Entire Composition toggle
    3. Field Rendering (wait, does this mean AME can't currently render to fields?)
    4. And PRESET ability these settings, so I'm not doing them manually every time.
    I realize that your team clearly doesn't spend the same amount of time I do making low res H264 previews and sending final files out in H264 format, so you don't appreciate the impact of the changes you made. Moving to AME for that stuff is a real inconvenience, but implementing the settings above could help soften the blow.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

  • After Effects CC // Adobe Media Encoder won't export H.264 mp4 files

    It stops immediately after "Reading XMP", having exported a defective file (200 kb, about a second long). I've tried several presets in this category.
    Is it a codec problem? What could be the cause?

    Rick means composition,  not compensation.
    But he's right; we need that info.
    Also, is this a dynamically linked project? If so, what exact version number of AE are you using (down to the last decimal)? Also, what version of AME? If not, what format and codec are you rendering to out of AE that you're bringing into AME?

  • Videos export with purple/green artifacts/splotches/flashes with Media Encoder CC but export fine with Premiere Pro CC?

    I use Premiere Pro CC to edit videos, and videos render fine when I export through Premiere Pro, but when I try to use Media Encoder CC, the video exports with weird splotches of green/purple artifacts all throughout. It almost looks like the video is glitching and having a seizure of green and purple. No idea why this happens. Could anybody help me? I use Media Encoder to export bulks of videos at a time through its queue feature, which is why I prefer to use Media Encoder for video exporting.
    Please and thanks.

    Mitch,
    I was hoping that you and others might have some insight as to whether the purple and green artifacts / splotches seen in the attached screenshots (taken from 4 consecutive frames here but occurring through the entirety of the clip) could possibly have resulted from exporting video with ~ Premiere Pro CS5 or 6 ? As seen below, these splotches alternate back and forth between purple and green in every consecutive frame. I was also hoping that someone might know if this is a relatively common type of artifact and how it is caused.
