Media Encoder DV Widescreen same as DV?

Hi folks,
I used Adobe Media Encoder to convert some widescreen H.264 video (720p) to DV. I tried converting it to DV Widescreen, and then DV, in a separate file, to see what the difference was.
To my surprise, they looked identical! They were both 720x480, and had slim dark gray bands on the left and right, and thick dark gray bars at the top and bottom.
Isn't there supposed to be a difference between these two formats?
Thanks,
Lyle

OK, I think I figured it out. The DV Widescreen image is stretched vertically to fit the 720x480 pixel frame, then marked with an "anamorphic widescreen" setting. Windows Media Player knows it needs to squash it vertically on playback.
That does allow me to get a little more information into the frame than regular DV, since it's from an HD source, so I think I'll use the DV Widescreen encoding.
Thanks,
Lyle

Media Encoder CC 2014 Exports larger file than Media Encoder CC with same settings

We like to deliver final exports to most of our clients with the following settings:
Format: Quicktime
Codec: H.264
Quality: 100
1920x1080, 23.976, progressive, square pixels
use maximum render quality
audio: uncompressed, 48khz, stereo, 16 bit, single track
When I used to export a ~5 minute video using these settings with Premiere or Media Encoder CC (7.2.2.29), I would get a file ~1GB. If I export a ~5 minute video using these settings in Premiere or Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1.48), the result is ~ 4GB.
Any thoughts on why this might be? I assume it's a user error but I can't nail down what it is.
Thanks for your help!

Hi matthewrichie88,
I used the same settings that you have mentioned above on a Windows 7 computer and got the same file size with both versions of Media Encoder. Please specify if you have a Mac or a Windows and which OS exactly? It would really help if you can post screenshots of your export settings with both versions. Give more details about the source files as well.
Thanks!

Premiere Pro / Media Encoder crash during encoding

Afternoon guys, wonder if anyone has any tips on how to solve my issue. It's a new pc that I'm working on, my first project on it, everything working great in terms of the edit, but crashing whilst encoding both through Premiere Pro and Media Encoder with an error message (below). I'm not great with this stuff so please let me know if I need to provide more info and I'll provide much information as I can.
I'm a creative cloud user.
-Premiere Pro cs 6 (6.0.3) - I have tried to re-install the software, and ran all the updates yesterday after the install. Problem still persists.
-Encoder cs6 (6.0.3.1)
-Windows 7 Professional service pack 1, 64bit. Whilst I was online re-installing Premiere Pro windows did some updates (I generally keep my editing pc's offline).
-DSLR footage (.mov) for video, up to 3 sources of video (nested for multicam shoot) and running one source of audio (mp3 file). Two of the timelines I'm trying to encode are about 45 minutes long.. I have succesfully encoded other clips (a 5 minute, and a 35 minute previously. Miraculously this morning I encoded a 1h12m clip using the mpeg2-dvd preset with only adjustment of quality bumped from 4 to 5). So this was encoded after all the updates, however since then everything else is not working.
-Initially encoder was either freezing, or giving me an error message. Since re-installing all the software yesterday it now does not freeze, but I get the error message: "Adobe Media Encoder CS6.0 has stopped working... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I get the same message when encoding with both AME and Premiere Pro. I click "close" from here and nothing else happens.
-Trying to export to mpeg2-dvd, I have tried the PAL widescreen preset, as well as trying to adjust the settings, doesn't seem to make a difference, the error message pops up different points during encoding.
-The only plugin I have used is magic bullet looks for some grading. It also fails to encode with no plugins used.
-PC     - Intel i7-3770 @ 3.40ghz,
          - 32GB ram
          - Operating system and Adobe Suite on c: (SSD 240gb)
          - Project source footage (video, audio, etc) f: (2tb)
          - Encoding files to e: (SSD 240gb)
          - my case is an Antec 902, with no additional fans. It does sound like it's working harder during encoding, not sure if a heat issue could be causing the software to error?
-I am using the mercury playback engine with a Gefore gtx 680 (2gb).
I have not been able to find any definitive answeres with regard to the crashes. I did also have encoder hanging whilst reading the xmp file. I have tried encoding video only (audio disabled) and whilst it doesn't hang during reading of xmp file, it still stops working with the above error message.
I also run an older PC with i920, 24gig, gtx570 and it never crashes but performs much slower. It is also running windows 7, same setup but different hardware. Not sure if the hardware on my new pc could be causing the issues, if you you guys have any troubleshooting tips it would be much appreciated. At this point i have tried starting a new project, new timelines, nothing seems to work, so I have transferred the data to my old pc for encoding (as I need to deliver the discs to a client), but I need to get this new setup working properly.
Cheers,
Stevan

Hi Axel,
Thanks for your suggestions, I just tried cleaning out the media cache and also rendered out a wav file of the audio and placed it in the timeline and deleted the mp3 version.. Tried once again to encode an mpeg2-dvd file.
1st attempt encoding through Media Encoder, pal widescreen with variable bit rate set to 6, 7 and 8 = everything froze, had to restart via button.
2nd attempt encoding through Media Encoder = this time tried video only same settings just no audio = same error (Adobe Media Encoder cs6.0 has stopped working...)
3rd attempt encoding through Premiere Pro, same settings with audio = same error message.
4th attempt encoding through Media Encoder, pal wide preset as standard with no change = same error message.
5th attempt encoding through Media Encoder, h264 preset for vimeo, 720p = same error message.
6th attempt encoding through Media Encoder, AVI (Uncompressed) 720 x 480 preset. 1m40s in the dreaded blue screen appeared. "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval. " Bla bla bla.
In all instances the encoding is absolutely flying, but always ends up crashing.

Media Encoder adds thin green line on FLVs

I am using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 to convert .mov files to .flv files. When I render the files a thin (~2 px) green line appears on the bottom of the video.
When I used Media Encoder to format into F4V the line does not appear. See image below for example. Both files were encoded using the same Instance of Media Encoder and the same source file.
Things I have tried
I have tried encoding without resizing the video (Native 902x507)
I have tried resizing to make sure video dimensions are divisible by 4 (904x508)
I have used both CBR and VBR have same effect
I have changed bitrate to higher with same effect
Note:
The source video does not have the green line
System: Windows 7 64x - 8GB RAM
Source video
format:*.MOV, codec:H.264, size:902x507, framerate: 29.97 fps, Data rate: 6.82 mbits/sec
Any suggestions on how to remove this?

I set up some quick tests and found that yes, transcoding a 902x507 H.264-encoded QuickTime file to FLV with AME 5.0.2 causes a green horizontal line. It occurs at line 507, but doesn't go all the way across. If I use the Crop option to trim off the bottom pixel of the source, the green line still occurs, but this time at line 505. The difference is due to the scaling that AME is adding to the render process when Crop is turned on.
A little sleuthing reveals:
1) A 902x507 QuickTime file encoded with the Animation codec does not cause this problem. This tells me the cause of the problem is in the H.264 decode, not the FLV encode. It probably doesn't show up in the F4V encode because F4V is H.264 with a Flash wrapper, thus not much transcoding is actually being done. Transcoding to other formats has the same problem, though.
2) The output dimensions of the FLV are 912x512. This is despite that AME shows the settings for the export as 902x508 (or 902x506 with the pixel trimmed from the bottom). The FLV exporter appears to be rounding up to the nearest value that is evenly divisible by 16. This is a bug, but has already fixed for a future release of AME.
I had success using the Crop option to trim the size of the source file to 896x496 (the next multiple of 16 down). Take 3 pixels off both the left and right, 6 pixels off the top, and 5 pixels off the bottom. I did not have success by changing the output dimensions directly to 896x496; this is because resizing doesn't trim pixels, it pads where necessary and retains all source pixels, including the "bad", odd-numbered line that is causing the problem. Trimming them via crop is the only way to avoid having AME attempt to transcode those pixels.
Otherwise, I recommend you work around the problem by:
A) Going back to the media source and exporting a file that doesn't have an odd-numbered dimension.
B) Transcoding the file in another application to a different format (ex.: QuickTime with a different codec) or a non-odd-numbered dimension before using AME to transcode the file to FLV.
I am curious- what is the source of this QuickTime file, and why 902x507? Those are unusual dimensions.

Cropping .mov with Adobe Media Encoder Problem????

I have a qt.mov that is 1920 by 1900, I needed to crop it down to 320 186. I did the conversion in Adobe Media Encoder using the same settings as the original movie. In QT the movie plays fine but when I embed it in the page and upload to the server the movie does not play as I would normally see the player then the stream and finally the movie. Any reason why this would be?
RD

Went and got QT pro, I see that it has the streaming option, when I exported the file I chose streaming, uploaded the finished file and it works perfect.
thx

Media Encoder encodes same AE composition no matter what.

I'm using Media Encoder CC to encode an AE composition. I open AME and select "Add After Effects Composition", select H.264 in an .mp4 wrapper and let it encode. Great results for a client draft.
The issue I'm having is that if I make changes to the AE composition, save it, and re-encode, AME will encode the same "old" composition time-after-time. Almost like there's a cache file that's stuck in the pipeline. The workaround, is that I have to "Increment and Save" the AE comp, and then point AME to the new incremental file. Seems kind of clunky. Is there a better way to do it?
I'm on Win7 Pro, AE CC, AME CC.
Thanks.

Why are you not using the command in After Effects, Composition > Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue? This command sends the current composition to AME.

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?

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...

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 - Can we crop and resize at the same time?

Flash 8's video encoder, use to let you crop (cut x amount of pixels out) and then resize a video (and in that order it did it).
CS5's Media Encoder is confusing, from what I can tell it cannot do both, you either can crop or resize but not both. ANd if you can do both, you definately cant crop before the resize. So which is it?
Resizing made sense last, because you could put in new values for the resize nad figure out how much you need to crop out.
Please help this is driving me insane.

Everyone in my office has the same problem!
We really need an alternative to AME both because of the crop/resize problem and many other seamingly random issues with preview and export.
Adobe Media Encoder sucks...

Exporting widescreen DV project to Media Encoder Fails

This is my first attempt at exporting a video using CS4's media encoder, and when I try, the encoder app seems to not be able to "find" or load the Premiere CS4 sequence. It seems to fail after a few minutes, during which the status of the job is "Waiting" and at the bottom it says "Loading xxxxx.prproj".
Any thoughts? I'm on an i5 iMac with the CS4 Production suite installed.
Here's the error it gives:
- Source File: /Users/user/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/Wedding.prproj
- Output File: /Users/user/Video/Projects/Wedding/DVD/_Wedding.mpg
- Preset Used: Export Widescreen DVD 7Mbps CBR
- Video:
- Audio:
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:12:19
Sun Dec 20 15:56:11 2009 : Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.

FIXED!
Thanks to some points in this thread, I have solved my problem.
It was the KNOLL LIGHT FACTORY plug-in. I removed it, and the Adobe Media Encoder now works on my system. I assume that DYNAMIC LINKING between the CS4 apps also now works, but have yet to test that.
This also explains why my CS4 suite works on my MacBook Pro; I never installed KLF on my laptop.
Now I need to tell RED GIANT SOFTWARE about this problem, and either get a solution from them, or a refund.
Thanks. You can add this solution to your collective repertoires in case a future OSX user encounters this exact problem.

Widescreen footage using the windows media encoder of Matrox 100

I use PPRO 2.0 with the matrox 100 card. I will encode a footage, shoot in widescreen. Normally when I have a 4:3 picture I use the Matrox mediaencoding for WMP and this works fine. But the matrox mediaencoder settings doesn't have a widescreen setting.
Using the PPRO encoder in widescreen setting, the picture is distorted, maybe because of the many time dicussed Matrox system.
Can anyone give me suggestions to encode a matrox build footage into a mediaencoded footage using the matrox media encoder or otherwise?
Thanks
Chris

Thanks for replying.
The solution I finally use is to export the AVI in windows media encoder and encode it to WMV format. This works but is as bit more time consuming than directly use the Matrox encoder in PPRO as I use for 4:3 footages (which have no widescreen option).

Using Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC at the same time

Is this possible? Doesn't seem to be. Media Encoder bails on every job as soon as you try to render anything in Premiere. I guess they don't play nice together, which is surprising. I was hoping that Media Encoder would pause and wait for Premiere to finish a render. Instead it dies on every render job, creating 0 size video files... while making a sheep bleating sound.
Is this a GPU issue? I have 2 nVidia cards, a 770GTX and 560GTX. (Windows 8.1, 16gb RAM, 3770k CPU)

As soon as I initiate a render in Premiere, Media Encoder bleats, and all subsequent render jobs bleat and produce 0 size video output files... even if I quit the Premiere render before Media Encoder reaches some of those render jobs.
I suspect this is a GPU sharing issue.... but can't be certain.
What do you mean by new install? Did I install it (AME or Premiere) recently? No. I've had Creative Cloud on my machine for almost a year, and both Premiere and Media Encoder have been updated periodically.
To my knowledge they have never worked together, but I only started using the queue feature within Premiere recently, so I haven't used AME until recently.

CS4 MEDIA ENCODER (not responding) please help...

Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

First, all the system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
But now, two things happen:
1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
Huh?
Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
Multiplexer Tab:
choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
Video Tab:
Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
Quality: increase it to the max of 5
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
Render at Maximum Depth box checked
Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
Audio Tab:
Audio Format: Dolby Digital
Codec: Dolby Digital
Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
Thus the primal scream.
The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it. :-)
P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep. In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
Help. Please. :-)

Premiere CC crashing when dragging sequences to Media Encoder CC

I've always been able to do this in the past, but suddenly when I drag a sequence or multiple sequences to Media Encoder from Premiere, Premiere crashes and gives me the following:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[/sirreact64/releases/2013.03/shared/adobe/dvamediatypes/project/mac/../../src/TickTime.cp p-219]
and then a box pops up in Media encoder that says
Dynamic Link Error
Source is empty.
Anyone help?
17" Macbook Pro with 10.7.5
Premiere CC
Media Encoder CC

I am using the most updated version of PPro CC with OS 10.8.5. It seems to have issues with certain sequences and not others. It also may be the files themselves. They play fine in the program viewer and I have sent them to Media Encoder before, but if I create a new sequence with the same settings and copy the files into it, the same thing happens. I have a lot of 29.97 720x480 (1.21 pixels) and 1440x1080 (PAR 1.333) footage to edit together and create dvds out of (not my idea - it's a job) and I am in the middle of trying various ways of encoding to make it as clear as possible.
Currently I am using 1440x1080i HD anamorphic sequence settings encoding into 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic with frame blending, maximum render quality, Target bit rate of 30 VBR 2 pass. Then combining those files with other sequences into a longer 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic sequence and encoding MPEG 2-DVD NTSC widescreen progressive 100% quality, VBR 2 pass and the output is much better. This has been working, and today suddenly it stopped and started crashing. Any ideas?
