Adobe Media Encoder Not Working - Please help

Hi,
Whenever I try and export a video in premiere pro it makes no difference what settings I choose in the Adobe Media Encoder as the video always comes out the same size. When I first tried it I exported it as a 400kbps flash file, but that was taking too long to buffer, so I want to reduce the kpbs. I adjust the bitrate in the encoder, save the settings and everything looks like it's working but no matter what I do the video always comes out the same size. I have tried opening and closing Premiere Pro, even exporting the video as avi and then bringing it back into premiere pro to encode but no joy.
Also, in the encoder it always says "estimated file size 35mb or so but comes out the other end about 10 times that.
Its getting really, really annoying so any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, many thanks for your replies.
The work area that I wish to export is 15 minutes and 38 seconds so relatively short.
I always let it finish encoding and they are all around 250MBs when this is finished.
These are the steps I am taking:
1. Menu>Export>Adobe Encoder
2. Change setting to custom and set the bit rate at 300 kpbs, Framerate 25, Keyframe interval 1, Codec On2 VP6, Audio 32kbps Mono
3. I then save this preset
4. I then click the Deinterlace button on the Output tab
5. I then click OK and save it to my external hardrive
6. Once it is finished encoding - whatever settings I have selected - it always comes out around 250 MBs which is far too big as it takes ages to buffer
If you can help you are a lifesaver!
Thanks

  • Adobe Media Encoder not working

    When I opened the Adobe Media Encoder, the "Start Queue" button is gray (it can't be clicked). There is also an error message that says fireworks.mov (the file I was trying to open) could not be imported by Adobe Media Encoder. Also, DivX appears as the file icon. Could this have anything to do with it? Does anyone have suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Please provide
    these details to help us help you.

  • Adobe media encoder error message - please help

    I purchased adobe creative suite 4 web standard in january of 2010.  I'm in the process of learning how to use all the features.  I am building a website in dreamweaver and wanted to create and import a flash movie.  I opened adobe media encoder from my program files.  I added an avi file to the encoder, chose a medium quality for web, and clicked Start Queue.  I then got the following pop up error message:
    Error Message:
    Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event
    Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error.
    [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-754]
    Please help.
    Thank You.

  • Adobe Media Encoder not working w/ DVDSP

    I'm doing a test to see if the video quality of a 1920x1080 video file will look better at about 8mb/s coming out of Compressor 4 vs CS5.5
    the trouble is, i have an mpa and m2v coming out of Adobe and an ac3 and m2v coming from Compressor.
    but...and this is where it gets weird, the m2v from Adobe is unrecognized in DVDSP. and what is this xmp file that pops up at the end of the adobe encode?! :-)
    Thanks all.
    g

    Ok, the maximum resolution of DVDs is 720x480 (NTSC). So Adobe is probably creating an HD m2v file at 1920x1080. You need to down convert it to 720x480 anamorphic, then it will work.

  • How's Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?

    This is the first thread on the new Adobe Media Encoder forum, so I thought that it would be appropriate to open it up by just asking a general question:
    How is Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?
    Please be sure to install the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (5.0.1) update. Instructions for updating are included in this post about the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.
    If you're having a specific problem that you want help with, or if you have a specific question, please start your own thread on this forum. This thread is intended for general feedback about how Adobe Media Encoder CS5 is working out for you.

    First of all IT IS GREAT and I use it a lot I also used the CS4 version before!
    But I have to report two issues about version CS5:
    1. I bought the English version of the production premium CS5 but I have a German operating system (win7 64bit) all other adobe application are in English except Adobe Media Encoder it shows up in German language! Not a show stopper but should be fixed.
    2. Recently I wanted to encode a video into an h264. I made some custom settings for that and the encoded video played very stuttered in Microsoft Media Player 12 (like 12fps instead of 25fps [settings were set correct in AME]) but fine in Quicktime and VLC Player (execpt for the gamma bug but that's an other story...)
    I did a lot of testings and found the issue! Sometimes when you change a lot of the h264 settings (don't know when it happens exactly) Media Encoder seems to not set the fps correctly allthough AME shows 25fps in it's settings this setting is not encoded into the final file!
    Quicktime and VLC seems not to care about the missing information but Windows Media Player gets confused.
    It does not happens when using a preset in AME it only happens when changing a lot and using custom settings!
    You can see the missing fps setting when right clicking the encoded file and choose properties (german:Eigenschaften) switch the tap to Details and there is no fps setting in the stuttering files but when encoded with a preset in AME there is the correct 25fps setting!
    I have attached a screenshots to demonstrate it:
    My workaround so far was to choose a preset with 25fps and close to my desired settings and change as few as possible - Fingers crosses and with a chance of 3/4 I was able to encode a working file containing the fps setting in it which plays perfect in Microsoft Media Player!
    I hope you take a look into this issue because if you have a long file and you have to encode it again because it fails....... uiuiui
    Thanks Todd for the possibility to give this direct feedback to Adobe
    This is real support!

  • Matrox Media Encoder not working in CS4

    Good day,
    I have just purchased a used RTX2/ CS4 bundle which includes the card and breakout box.
    I am currently using RTX2/CS3 which I bought way back in 2008 and is still working on my PC with Windows XP Professional (32bit) running Service Pack 3.
    The existing PC was built according to Matrox System requirements:
    Intel(R) Core™2 Quad CPU@240GHz with 4GB RAM etc
    So all the hardware on the machine is working with RTX2/CS3 without any problems.
    I have installed CS4/RTX2  on the same machine and everything shows that it has installed correctly.
    In device manager the card and drivers can be seen.
    When opening Premiere CS4 the Matrox logo dispays and all the effects and presets can be accessed. The tune does not play when the logo is displayed.
    The only problem is that when trying to export a sequence the Matrox Media Encoder option is not available.
    When selecting File > Export > the only options available are:
    Media
    Adobe Clip Notes
    Export to EDL
    Export to OMF
    There seems to be a missing link to activate the Matrox Media Encoder option.
    Please help as I paid a lot of money for this hardware/software bundle which does not work.
    Regards,
    Johan
    My RTX2/CS3 software is registered with Adobe as well as Matrox and I will do the same with RTX2/CS4 as soon as I can get them to work.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

    I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.

    I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
    Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
