Adobe Media Encoder MPEG2 pixel aspect ratio

I'm trying to output an MPEG2 for DG systems @ 720x512 but the pixel aspect ratio pulldown menu only gives picture aspect ratios (ie 4x3 or 16x9) and then gets the pixel aspect ratio automatically from that setting.  So @ 720x512 the pixel aspect ratio is 4:3(.948), but I need a .9 ratio.   When the source is 720x512 it adds black bars to the side, when the source is 720x480 it adds a little black to the top and bottom but stretches the image so it gets blurry.  I can render out an AVI at 720x512 with a .9 pixel aspect ratio, so why not an mpeg2? Any work arounds? Is it the same in CS5?
I'm in CS4 on Vista64.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 - wrong aspect information

    Hello,
    When I try to downconvert HD aspect ratio 1,78 to SD 1,78(HD and 16-9 SD), the adobe media encoder puts a black list on each side. Even the aspect ratio should be the same (1,78). This was not an issue with CS3.
    What can it be?

    Who knows with this kind of detail? Either figure it out yourself or come forward with relevant details.
    Oh, by the way, my wife's car won't start, what could be wrong?

  • Export to Media Encoder Changes the Aspect Ratio

    Hi,
    How can I create an animation at a ratio of 720x576 (or any other size) without Premiere Pro changing it the moment I send it to export to make the animation?
    I have a brief for an animation at 720x576, I have created a sequence of images for the animation - at 720 x 576 - I have created a sequence in Premiere Pro CS4 at a size of 720x576 -  it looks okay except for vertical black bars at either side - but the moment I export it to the media encoder and it renders it out - the image is all crunched up as if the height is 720 and the width is 576 - wrong!
    (P.S. I used Premiere Pro CS2 at Uni and it was fine because I could tell Premiere to use or not use Square Pixels and I could tell it a custom pixel ratio and it would do as I said - CS4 seems to ignore me or just not give me any of the options I need.)
    Help?
    I have searched in Faq's and around the Forum but found nothing that seems to relate to my problem.

    As Ann states, if one gets letterboxing, or pillarboxing, there is a mis-match. It can be in the Aspect Ratio, (pixel x pixel dimensions of the Frame Size), or the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio). These MUST match 100%. If you have Square Pixels in your animation, then you MUST choose Square Pixels in your Sequence setting. If you do not find an exact match in the normal Presets, you will want to choose Desktop, where you CAN adjust almost all attributes for the Sequence to match your source footage.
    Good luck,

  • Why Adobe media Encoder makes 3 files when export in MPEG2 ?

    I try to compress a sequence using File-Export-Adobe Media Encoder -MPEG2-DVD. I want to reduce the size of my sequence (normaly exported as .AVI file) When done, I have 3 files: 1) .m2v 2) .Wav 3) .mcses
    What are theses files ? Should I use something else to reduce the size of my files to fit on a 4.7G DVD...?
    Thanks !
    Franc St-Louis

    The .m2v file contains the MPEG-2 video.
    The .wav file contains the PCM (uncompressed) audio.
    The .mcses file contains information about chapter markers.
    Encore will use the MPEG-2 file "as is" and by default compress the PCM audio to Dolby Digital (AC3).
    There are basically two options to make your project fit on a DVD:
    Export a DV AVI file from Premiere and let Encore decide on the best compression settings "on automatic".
    Do a bit budget calculation and use the bit rate numbers found in Premiere's Media Encoder.
    To assist you with the bit budget you can use one of these online calculators:

  • Pixel Aspect Ratio Discrepancy

    My first project after being upgraded to CS4 (with Matrox Axio) was supposed to be very simple and wasn't.  A :10 sponsorship billboard with animated background we always use (avi), client supplied logo (tga), and announcer audio track (wav).  Set up the project/sequence to be D1/DV 0.9, just like always.  Targa file was also 0.9.  So far everything is normal.  Then rep decides they want a plain blue background instead of the animated one, and would like to add a phone super.  Made a solid blue background in the title generator, again 0.9, and when I put it on the timeline, I could no longer see video.  Even if I dbl clicked on it, I couldn't see either background or logo in the source monitor.  In case the title generator didn't like making a color solid, I re-made the graphic in Photoshop, again 0.9 tga, created a new project from scratch, imported my sources and when I put the background on the bottom track, again I couldn't see any video.  I changed the pixel aspect ratio of the tga background to square pixels, put it on the timeline and that worked.  I could see the logo again.  So I made the phone super in the title generator and thought okay...square pixels.  Brought the title graphic onto the timeline, and couldn't see any video.  Changed the title graphic back to 0.9, brought it back onto the timeline, and it worked.  So I had a background targa graphic in square pixels, a logo targa graphic in 0.9 and a title graphic in 0.9.  One more thing that was a new experience for  me was that a box popped up that said I needed to scrub through the sequence before it would play in real time.  So I did, and it played.  Can anyone share with me some logic to this discrepancy?  Thanks.

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Adobe changed the PAL pixel aspect ratio from CS3 to CS4?
    I've fallen foul of this a couple of time.
    There's some information here:

    Although they're mostly talking about After Effects, this applies equally to Premiere CS4.

    Dear Mr. Smith,

    Adobe sent a verification email to mbattaglia@1100kfnx_com. Since I am not that person, I had no access to that email account; therefore I could not activate the account.
    The Creative Cloud exe file wouldn’t work. I opened it and it looked like it was going to run and then it just disappeared off of the task manager.
    Since Adobe pulled an email address from my email account, I can only assume the Adobe is involved in the act of Data Mining and now they have all of my email contacts and more.
    Five stars for Adobe and their Creative Cloud of Confusion.

  • Pixel Aspect Ratio bug in Media Encoder export

    Having a weird bug in media encoder exports that I can't seem to figure out. I have a 1080p sequence with a mix of 1080p footage and PAL DV assets. The PAL assets have a pixel aspect ratio of 1.0940. When I format them in my Premiere sequence, I am able to scale them correctly and they look fine. When I export them directly from premiere to broadcast standards it's also fine.
    However, when I try to export these sequences in Media Encoder via File->Export->Media-> Queue using the same exact settings (I'm using a preset), Media Encoder formats the PAL assets as if they have square pixels. Thus, half of the footage in my sequences gets horizontally "squished." Note that this does not happen for footage that natively has square pixels, such as my 1080p camera footage.
    Has anyone encountered this bug? It seems strange to me that Media Encoder would treat items in a sequence differently that Premiere during export, I was under the impression they were using the same rendering engine... It's really a problem as I'm going to have to crank out multiple versions of this 48-minute film and not being able to queue those exports is going to be a huge headache.
    Using latest version of CC 2014.1 (8.1.0).

  • Urgent MPEG2 question (pixel aspect ratio)

    Is a composition that is set as a D1/DV NTSC Pixel Aspect Ratio (0.91) able to be exported as a MPEG2 file?
    I have a very large, very complicated project file with a D1/DV NTSC Pixel Aspect Ratio and I'm trying to save it as a MPEG2 file type because it has the best compression for the quality and need the file sizes to be small.  However when I go to the MPEG2 Format Options when exporting, it only has Standard 4:3 (0.80), Square Pixel (1.00), Widescreen 16:9 (1.067), and Widescreen 2.21:1 (1.326).
    Is there way I can have this project in MPEG2 format and not have letterboxing, stretching or cropping?
    Thank you,

    What version of AE are you using?
    What are your composition's dimensions? Did you use the NTSC DV composition preset?
    First off, if file size is your only concern, then you should encode to h.264, not mpeg2.
    Mpeg2 is mainly used for DVD production. H.264 is a much more advanced codec for the sake of making a good-looking & small file.
    If playback is computer-based (not DVD), you'll probably want to nest your D1/DV comp inside a square pixel equivalent, and then render that file to a Quicktime (Animation codec @ best/full quality). Then, use Adobe Media Encoder, or your encoding software of choice, to make the compressed (h.264) version.
    That being said, and if you are going to mpeg2 for DVD, then how are you going about encoding the file out of AE?
    You should be selecting the "MPEG2 DVD" output module.
    Keep in mind, that, if you are going to DVD, a better procedure (to provide maximum quality) would be to render to the Animation codec first, and then compress (2-pass VBR encode) that prerenderd movie to mpeg2.

  • Adobe Media Encoder won't open MPEG2 files

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping you can help me, I'm having some trouble with Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it won't open any MPEG2 files I throw at it.
    They all open fine in Media Player Classic, MPC-HC and VideoLan, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
    Any ideas greatfully appreciated.

    Jim Simon, one came from a creative production house and a couple  came from a website that provides various videos in various formats for  testing video players.
    Thanks for the information Colin Brougham.  Can any MPEG 2 importers/decoders be used?
    I'm  new to AME so perhaps I don't understand how it works entirely but on  the AME information page on the Adobe website it says that MPEG2 files  can be imported, and there is no mention of only being able to do so  with certain Adobe products (unless I missed it).
    However,  if I can open and play MPEG2 Files in various media players, surely  there is a way to use the decoders from those to work with AME?
    All advice greatly appreciated.

  • Pixel Aspect Ratio used by Adobe OnLocation

  • Adobe Media Encoder: introducing stairs (edge artifacts)

    Adobe Media Encoder: Is it fundamentally flawed?
    When exporting Flash content to video, I noticed that Adobe Media Encoder introduces artifacts around edges that have a sharp contrast. The problem does not seem to be affected by bitrate or other settings and if I frameserve the video from Premiere out to a command line encoder, the problem does not occur, which leads me to believe that there is a big problem within Adobe Media Encoder. Most users may not notice/experience the problem if they are dealing with live action footage, but if your project contains animation (esp. Flash animation), it is a HUGE issue, if you are trying to maintain picture quality.
    (Note: I've tried exporting on 3 separate hardware setups and I've even tried reverting to CS2 -> the problem exists in all of my tests)
    Can someone else confirm the problem? (The problem is clearly there when exporting to MPEG2, Windows Media)
    How to clearly recreate the problem
    In Adobe Flash
    Create a Flash project: 1280 x 720, 24fps, Stage Color: White
    Create two symbols: - a red circle with a thin hairline black stroke
    - a larger blue circle with a thicker black stroke
    Create 2 layers on the timeline, place an instance of each symbol on the timeline on separate layers and create a motion tween for each symbol so that they move both horizontally and vertically across the screen.
    Make the animation last at least 3-4 seconds and make sure the circles are not moving too fast.
    Set opposite easing values for each circle (one with 100, the other with -100)
    Export Movie... Bitmap Sequence...24 bit color, match screen.
    In Premiere, create a new project:
    Custom Settings:
    Editing Mode: Desktop
    Timebase: 24.00 frames/second
    Frame Size: 1280 x720
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square (1.0)
    Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
    Display Format 24 fps Timecode
    Import the bitmap sequence. Select the first file in the sequence and check Numbered Stills.
    Place the Flash footage into a sequence.
    Export...Adobe Media Encoder.
    Try the following preset settings:
    - MPEG2, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
    - Windows Media, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
    - Quicktime, HDTV 720p 24

    Yeah, mp4 in HTML5 browsers is h.264 encoded - h.264 is a subset of MPEG-4 standard. More info here:
    H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    For ease of use in AME, if you look at the right side of the UI in the presets, the Web Video > YouTube presets are the ones that will encode to h.264 with the mp4 extension.

  • The (new) Premiere pixel aspect ratio is wrong for my PAL DV cam footage

    I've had a Sony TRV-950E DV-cam since 2003. I've been shooting DV PAL in widescreen.
    I just bought Elements 12 to edit my footage, and discovered that the pixel aspect ratio for D1/DV PAL Widescreen has been updated to 1.46 (old value 1.42).
    The theory behind this change is that video recorded on 720x576 is slightly wider than 16:9 and that the 16:9 portion is 704x576.
    Unfortunately this is not correct for my footage! I've captured the video from my DV-cam (by firewire) and opened it in Premere and it is streched to be shown as 1050x576.
    So I did a test:
    I filmed a steady shot of a perfect circle and captured the video from the camera and opened it in Premiere. The pixel ascpect ratio 1.46 makes the display 1050x576.
    The question is: Am I seeing this displayed as a perfect circle now?
    This can be tested:
    I make a picture of a perfect circle in Photoshop (square pixels) with size 1024x576. I imported this picture into the Premiere project, and match the two circles: The filmed one, and the Photoshop one.
    They DO NOT match! The one on the video is slightly stretched in width.
    So then I stretch the Photoshop picture in width to become 1050x576. I then import this picture into the project. And now I have a perfect match between the circles!
    This means that my DV camera actually records a 100% 16:9 picture on all the pixels 720x576 - and not a slightly wider picture with the 16:9 part being in 704x576 (which is the reason for the change in pixel aspect ratio from 1.42 to 1.46).
    I have some HD scenes that I want to import (and downscale) into my SD project also, and I also have a lot of still pictures.
    Unless I can change the setup i Elements to the correct ratio 1.42, these stills and sqare-pixel-video (HD) should ideally be streched from 1024x576 to 1050x576 to match (become equally stretched as) all the SD footage.
    How do I solve this?
    I just bought Elements 12 three days ago.
    (I just tried opening the captured video in Windows Movie Maker - and that program must use pixel aspect ratio 1.42 since the video is diplayed correctly as 1024x576 with a perfect circle)
    Regards,
    Tom from Norway

    After much thought and exploration and experimentation, I have come to the conclusion that there is no practical purpose for doing anything other than importing your media into the project and editing/exporting. I find no distortion in doing so, be it in the video samples that you posted or in still models that I created for the pixel aspect ratio 1.422 vs 1.4587 for D1/DV PAL Widescreen.
    If you have not already, please read the following about the Adobe DV Widescreen Pixel Aspect Ratio change from 1.422 to 1.456.
    Please start in the first link which gives some get subsequent links in it
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/673877
    http://www.mikeafford.com/blog/2009/03/pal-d1-dv-widescreen-square-pixel-settings-in-after -effects-cs4-vs-cs3/
    Also, you may find the following article on square and non square pixels of interest. It uses the PAL DV Widescreen 1.422 pixel aspect ratio in its discussion.
    http://library.creativecow.net/articles/gerard_rick/pixel_madness.php
    Aside from the explanation for the rights and wrongs of the matter, this is what I actually observed taking your PAL DV AVI Widescreen  and PAL MPEG2.mpg Widescreen  into the same Premiere Elements 12 Windows PAL DV Widescreen project. Along with your video files were still images that I created in Photoshop Elements 11 Full Editor:
    1024 x 576 document with a red circle on Layer 2 of the Layers Palette
    1050 x 576 document with a red circle on Layer 1 of the Layers Palette.
    The red circles were superimposed in creation. The difference in the pixel dimensions between the two are evidenced by Layer 1 content peaking through on the left and right.
    The gpsot readout for pixel aspect ratio for each of the videos was
    a. Your PAL DV AVI 720 x 576 Widescreen = 1.422
    b. Your PAL MPEG2.mpg 720 x 576 Widescreen = 1.422
    Each of the Photoshop Elements documents (circles) saved as .psd files 1050 x 576 pixels.
    When all were taken into Premiere Elements 12 project manually set for PAL DV Widescreen, they looked like the following, no display of distortion.......
    PAL DV AVI Widescreen 720 x 576 (now the pixel aspect ratio in Premiere Elements Properties was shown as 1.4587, not the 1.422 seen in gspot before import)
    PAL MPEG2.mpg Widescreen 720 x 576 (now the pixel aspect ratio in Premiere Elements 12 Properties was shown as 1.4587, not the 1.422 seen in gspot before import)
    Edit Menu/Preferences/General with check mark next to "Default Scale to Frame Size" was in effect.
    As for the red circles stills (1050 x 576 to equate to the square pixel version of 720 x 576 widescreen) did not distort when brought into the Premiere Elements 12 Edit area monitor which is established by the PAL DV Widescreen project preset with the pixel aspect ratio = 1.4587.
    The jpg version of the Photoshop Elements document (.psd) 1050 x 576 pixels (square pixels) looked like:
    And, when this Timeline was exported Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with the DV PAL Widescreen preset, there was no distortion in the export. It looked undistorted as it did before export.
    So, unless I am overlooking a key point here, I cannot see a reason why you cannot use the video sources that you presented for sampling as weil as stills with the 1050 x 576 pixel dimensions.
    The only time I see any distortion possibilities is if you use a player that does not recognize the 16:9 flag that stretches the 720 x 576 to 1050 x 576 for display after encoding.
    Trying to convert Premiere Elements 12 which uses the 1.4587 pixel aspect ratio for PAL DV Widescreen into a Premiere Elements 7 which uses the 1.422 pixel aspect ratio for PAL DV Widescreen is up hill in spite of creative thinking on your side.
    Please review and let me know if you are seeing another different from what I am reporting with the samples that you posted.
    Thank you.

  • 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
