Media Encoder on separate computer help

I record gameplay from the XBOX 360 in HD and I want to know if it's possible to export my Premiere Pro sequence to Media Encoder on another computer on my network? The encoding times are slowing me down and I'd like to free up processing power by encoding on a different computer than the computer I edit and record through. Any suggestions or ideas on the best way to do this?

No current version of Premiere works properly, if at all, over a network

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:

Thank You.

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.
A

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

Stop Media Encoder Compositing error? - HELP!

I am queing a sequence from Premiere Pro CC to Media Encoder. Its a composite of a subject on a green screen keyed background with some slide overlays.
When the sequence is rendered there is an odd 'cropping' effect on the slide portion of the video.
Where it should look like this
This happens throughout the entire sequence, in multiple sequences. There is no crop effect of any kind applied to the footage, the entire sequence will play out just fine from inside the timeline, the effect only shows up when rendered through AME.
When I stop AME from using OpenCL and render using Software only the problem appears to be resolved. But I definitely don't like the idea of investing so much CASH in GPU acceleration if Encoder can't effectively take advantage of it. Frustrating.
Anyone seen familiar with a fix for this kind of problem!? Thanks

This began happening to me after a recent update to my AME CC version. I found that I could rendered directly from Premier Pro CC through the export function.
It apparently has to do with 3-d memory adresses. I was doing a scene with talent over a keyed out green screen and a CGI stage set in the background. About two thirds of the background was not rendering, even after I made sure the size requirement for the graphic elements was correct.
I would be interested incomments from someone at Adobe about this situation, we cannot be th eonly ones.
Oh, I am running hardware acceleration on the open GL and have 18 gigs of memory on the motherboard. 3.2 GHZ eight core procesor.

Can I install Media Encoder Alone on a third Computer

Question: Can I install JUST Media Encoder on a third computer? Without having to use the full Abobe suite licence.
Nope, you can't. Especially everything that is tied to handling MPEG CoDecs and derivatives requires activation since it involves third-party licensing.

FLV file not opening up in media encoder

I am on a unique job where we are trying to figure out our workflow for video live and on-demand production. Basically, we will be streaming live video during the day and then we would then like to post the video that just went live and have it available in our on-demand archives. For our on-demand, we have to have 3 different flv files at 3 different bitrates since we have no idea what our audience's individual computer/internet can handle.
Because we are doing a high volume of video for this job over the course of two weeks, I am trying to streamline our workflow so that my editors don't have to deal with long hours of babysitting a computer while it is encoding. Because we have to go from injesting DV footage, then exporting QT, and compressor to make it a H.264 file since Media Encoder cannot read FCP QT files, and then into media encoder to make it to flv. That is a lot of steps to be taking. We also have lots of other things to edit aside from the live material.
We ourselves are sending out the video live on line, so permission is not an issue and we are not ripping off things off of big network websites at all. You see, the video is encoding as it is going out and I found a way to record the flv video and maintain it in flv format. However, we would just like to trim the heads and tails for the on-demand version as well create two other flv versions with a different bit rate.
For some reason, when I open the flv file that we recorded, media encoder does not see anything. I took that same test flv file and put it in three different media players/compression software. The flv opens in media streamclip, Adobe Media Player, and Sorensen Squeeze, so I don't understand why you don't see anything when it is in Media Encoder.
I was even able to trim and re-compress the recorded flv to a lower bitrate flv file. I don't really want to use Sorensen because I tested versus Media Encoder and it is really slow compared to Media Encoder. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advanced.
Michelle

I don't think that Adobe's Media Encoder can open FLV files at all, it only creates them.
Alternatively you can use some of the tools below to top & tail your videofiles:
- After Effects CS4
- Premiere CS4
- RichFLV (www.richapps.de)
Regarding workflow, have you looked into Adobe's Flash Media Encoding Server?

Flash Media Encoder with multiple cameras?

Hi,
Is it possible to stream 2 or more cameras on one computer
with Flash Media Encoder, or are you restricted to one camera per
machine?
Cheers

Hi,
As JayCharles explained to me, you run two instances of Flash
Media Encoder on the Computer. I was running 1 camera on just one
computer and so used 3 computers instead of using just the one
computer.
In my new case, I had 2 Cameras on the one machine.
When you launch Flash Media Encoder it will detect any
cameras you have on that computer, you will get a dropdown box so
you can choose which camera you want to use in this instance.
Choose the camera you want.
In the FMS URL box type the rtmp path to your Flash Media
server directory you want to stream this video to using either the
ip address or web address of the FMS server followed by the correct
path to where the file will be streamed to for example:
rtmp://192.168.1.10/vob/live
In the Stream Box type the name of the video file without the
.FLV tag, ie:
livevideo
Click the Connect button to connect the Video to the FMS
server.
When ready click the Start Button to start the stream.
So far you are streaming the video, but no one can see it.
Open a Dreamwaver page for example and go to:
Insert/Media/Flash Video (CS3)
or
Insert/Media/FLV (CS4)
Change the Video Type to Streaming Video
In the Server URI box type or paste in the rtmp address you
set:
rtmp://192.168.1.10/vob/live
In the Stream Name Box type in the Stream name you set in
Flash Media Encoder:
livevideo
The Skin type must be HALO, (Dont understand why you get no
choice)
Set the width and height of the Video on the page
Tick the Autoplay to play a pre recorded file, or tick Live
video feed if it is live.
Click ok.
If everything is correct then when you lauch the page the
video feed should be playing.
Lets assume it is, to add a second camera you just repeat the
same steps.
Open another instance of Flash Media Encoder on the Computer
you already have a feed running.
It might complain that the camera is already in use, as it
might try to connect to the same camera on the running application.
Open the Camera source dropdown and now choose the other
camera that should be available.
Put in the same info for the Server URI as you will also
stream to the same folder.
Chnage the Stream name now to:
livevideo2
Click Connect and also Start.
Open the Dreamweaver page you created for the first video.
Follow the same steps as before to create the Video on the
page
changing the name this time to livestream2.
You should now have 2 live video feeds on the same page using
two different cameras.
hope this helps.

Media Encoder doesn't recognize custom export settings from Premiere Pro CS6

When I use export media in Pr CS6 and use custom settings (H.264) and click Queue when it arrives in Media Encoder none of the custom settings are there, instead it always defaults to .F4V.
Here is a screenshot of custom settings in Pr CS6:
And here is what happens in Media Encoder:
Thanks for your help!

So, it looks like Media Encoder is stuck in a trial version? The only formats available are indeed .f4v, .flv, .mp3 & h.264. Is a reinstall of Media Encoder the fix?

Setting datarate in Adobe Media Encoder CC

Hi there. I am working on a Mac OSX, using After Effects CC, Media Encoder CC. I am creating 1-minute animations in After Effects timed to vocals. These animations are entirely imported mini animations put together by layers in Illustrator and imported into After Effects where they are timed to the vocals using quite a bit of Enable Time Remapping. These videos are 15 frames/sec. The pixel area is 460 x 530.
The client for these animations has requested a datarate of 200 kbps. In Media Encoder, I have the target bitrate set to .2 mbps. When I check Movie Inspector in Quicktime, the datarate is anywhere between 300 and 500.
My question is where can I set the datarate in Media Encoder? Does the target bitrate take care of this? If so, how do I achieve a datarate of 200 when Media Encoder does not allow a lower target bitrate of .19?
I have included a screenshot below of settings in Media Encoder:
Thanks for your help!

Profile & Level also affect overall bitrate and it looks like you have yours set at the highest setting: Profile: High & Level: 5.1
Try turning on Match Source for these two properties. At a frame size of 460x530 you'll probably get Profile: Main & Level: 3.1
The lowest manual setting I can set for a frame size of 460x530 is Profile: Baseline & Level: 3.0

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.

CS6 Media Encoder won't open at all...

I installed CS6 Master Suite... Media Encoder won't open at all. No error message... nothing when I click on the icon. I opened a project in Premiere... exported it to the Que... No media Encoder window..
Help please... I'm dead in the water....

Try holding down CTRL + ALT + SHIFT while launching AME, that's another way to clear prefs. If that doesn't work, try deleting these two folders (NOTE: this will delete any custom presets or workspaces you've created):
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\6.0\
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME\6.0\

Noob needs help with Media Encoder Settings

Hi All,
Please be gentle with me. I am very new to this.
I am using PPCS4 full version on which I am trying to edit and export video from my Canon HF 10 using their AVCHD format.
The Mac is a MAC PRO 2 x QuadCore 3.0Ghz, 1 x 320GB SATA and 3 x 1TB SATA disks with a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
I can import and see the video running in the source window, it can be a bit choppy but i am putting dowm to the lack of RAM (more the way). My real problem is that when I export the files the result is, well bad. I either get what appears to be a line effect every other line on the screen or by using other settings it appears grainy.
My Cam should be recording in 1080i HD and i expect to be able to put this stuff on a DVD / Blue-Ray disk or file and see as good an image as I see in the viewfinder. This I cannot seem to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
I don't understand...please let me know...
did media encoder work before and it just suddenly stopped working ? Or is this the first time you tried using it and it just doesnt work from your original installation ? In other words , did it EVER work for you using the HD ?
What source material are you using ? In other words, what type of video. MOV and AVI can have many different types of video inside those file extensions...they are called "wrappers" insomuch as they can have a lot of different "codecs" being used in the video. Can you tell us what the video is that you're using when AME fails to work ?
Also tell more about your computer setup...how many hard drives? Did you set up your system like recommended in many threads here in the forums ?
There are a lot of really good and smart people here who can help you, but they need as much information as possible so they can begin to understand what is going on with your problem. It does take some time and work on your part to put all that info into a message, but it's worth it because most times problems are solved because of it.
ps...not meant to be a criticism because you were angry about problem, but some people probably didnt respond to your trouble right away because of your initial mssg being a little bit scary.. most people here are just users like you and help each other. nobody wants to risk being yelled at or deal with someone who is just angry and isn't really supplying enough information to help solve the problem. That's just my opinion, and I'm glad your response to my mssg was less angry sounding. Whew !

Help with Adobe Media Encoder 3.1

I like to broadcast on a site called Justin.Tv and I just got myself a Black HD DVC100 Dazzle to broadcast with.
I downloaded my Driver for my Dazzle and such and the Adobe Media Encoder and such and when I pick the option in the Video Section on the Media Encoder it always closes my Encoder.
The laptop I'm on is a HP Windows 7 and it's a good computer, and it keeps closing my Media Encoder but on my other HP Mini Windows 7 laptop it doesnt do that
Any help please?

Wrong forum. This is for CS5. Try CS4 and earlier. BTW, a laptop is far from ideal.
