Media Encoder won't import AVI MotionJPEG footage

I am trying to convert an AVI video clip to FLV format using the stand alone Adobe Media Encoder that comes with CS4. The AVI clip in question uses the codec Motion JPEG and Adobe Media Encoder refuses to add the AVI to the encoder queue.
This clip is the first of many that are being shot in classrooms using Canon Ixus still cameras which encode their video using Motion JPEG. The video needs to be FLV in order to be embedded in Acrobat 9 Pro PDF's
Any help with this would be appreciated.

I may have found a reason, at least for my specific situation, although I do not know if this fits anyone elses situation. The video clips included in the After Effects project was an MOV file, created by a NewTek Tricaster video board setup. In fact, this affected all my Adobe products (well the video related ones that is) because I ran into a bunch of issues getting them into AE in the first place, with the same difficulties in getting them into Premiere. And the resulting project files (AE & Premiere) has huge issues getting into Media Encoder. It was all stemming from these MOV files themselves.
I had to download a NewTek codec to even begin using them in the first place, and even with the downloaded codec, they are still hugely problematic to work with. Unfortunately my company set up a great deal of time & money in setting these studios up, so I have to find a way to work with them.

Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try this and see if it will work for you.
Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
If iMovie tries to open, close it.
Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.

Flash won't import mp4 from Camtasia, demands an FLV; Media encoder won't convert to FLV; H264 isn't accepted either.

Flash won't accept the basic mp4 output from Camtasia, it tells me to use Media Encoder to convert it to FLV.
Media Encoder won't convert to F4V or FLV.
I used Media Encoder to convert to H264, but Flash will still not import it.
Could somebody please tell me the best export / convert / import options for getting Camtasia video into Flash (as an embedded video - can't do streaming).
Any tips much appreciated.
Flash Pro CC 2014 and Camtasia Studio 8.4.4.
cheers

Media Encoder - wrong size on AVI files

I have an 720 x 480 AVI video, and Media Encoder keeps importing it as 640 x 480. I don't see a setting or control for enforcing the right aspect ratio, and the Pixel Preview setting doesn't have an effect on the output. I've tried Resize Video to enforce the right dimensions but I still get black bars on the sides. Any suggestions?
I have the same video in MOV format, but Media Encoder won't recognize it even though I have QuickTime 5 installed. Do I need to upgrade to QT7?

The AVI file plays with the correct dimensions in Windows Media Player, and the Quicktime version also has the correct dimensions. I don't have Premiere Pro, and I'm using the version of AME that came with the Design Premium CS4 package.

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\

Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

Adobe Media Encoder bug with Cineform .avi

I encoded an HDV m2t file to Cineform intermediate in Sony Vegas. I added that file to Adobe Media Encoder's render cue. No matter what export format I choose, AME fails to recognize the source file's pixel aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and produces a horizontally squashed image.
Even the source window incorrectly shows the file as having a PAR of 1:1. Premiere Pro CS4 won't load the source file properly. I can import it into AE CS4. From there, I exported it to the same Cineform intermediate, and then it works fine in AME.
Why can't AME and Premiere Pro recognize the proper PAR in the Vegas-encoded Cineform file?

I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a "bug". The only thing at issue (if I understand correctly) is that AME is failing to recognize the PAR of the file. AFAIK, there is no "standard" for flagging PAR in AVI files (aside from DV footage, which can have simple boolean 16x9 flag).
Adobe has their RIFF headers -- but this is by no means a standard across the entire industry. There is no indication that your file contains any PAR information whatsoever.
If you open the file in Premiere, you should be able to right-click on the clip in the Project window, go to Interpret Footage and select the correct PAR of 1.333.
The problem is that the standalone version of AME does not have an "Interpret Footage" option to override PAR assumptions for AVI files, etc. that are added to queue. This is a good idea for a feature request for future versions of AME.

Adobe Media Encoder won't start

Not OP, but I have the same problem. AME just won't run. Double click, it's loading, I can see the process in Windows Task Manager but it just goes away again. Tried deleting that watch folder .xml but not working. Here's my spec from the FAQ:
What version of Adobe Media Encoder? Include the minor version number (e.g., Adobe Media Encoder CS6 with the 6.0.1 update).AME CC from premiere cc 7.0.1
What other Adobe applications do you have installed, and what application are you using Adobe Media Encoder with?Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)Used creative cloud to update to latest version
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".Windows 7. All update patch installed.
Are you using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?Yeah
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".N/A. App won't launch
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?No error message
Is the problem only occurring with a specific output format or encoding preset? If so, which one? If this is a custom preset not included with AME, then upload the preset file to a file-sharing site and provide a link.No.
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Booted up the computer. Launch AME.
Has this ever worked before?Yes.
What other software are you running?Google Chrome
Do you have any third-party codecs installed?Avid DNxHD, Cineform Studio
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).Regular desktop
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro?Yes.

I have a problem like this:

CS4 Media Encoder won't encode!

Hi!
Resently upgraded to CS4 and tried to encode a couple of
video files to FLV for a project, only to discover it did't work!
The media encoder didn't accept any video format, avi, mpeg etc to
be encoded. It accepted FLV files though...It worked flawlessly in
CS3, encoded anything you throwed at it, but not in CS4. Any
clues??

Well, I open up the program by itself or trough flash. Then i
press the add button to find the file or i just drag it in, after
that, a window pops up that says "The file could not be imported".
Thats all, and as i said it doesen't matter what kind of file type
it is, exept FLV. The system i use is a macbook pro.

Media encoder won't encode .flv

Hi,
Media encoder cc won't encode my x264 codec .flv file.
Error: media encoder doesn't support this compression type.
This is a .flv that was produced by Xsplit, WWW.xsplit.com

Adobe Media Encoder Help explicitly says that Adobe Media Encoder imports FLV files with the On2 VP6 codec:

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.
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium
AME CS4 4.2.0.006
WinXP 64

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.

Media Encoder won't queue

I'm running the latest build of Premiere CC. I can export sequences without issue but if I try to 'Queue' and send to Media Encoder, it won't show up. Basically, Media Encoder will launch automatically as it should be no job actually get's added...It just sits there. I've waited close to 30 minutes with no success. The behaivor is identical to whenever I just launch Encoder on it's own. Thoughts?

I'm having a similar issue.
Essentially ever since upgrading my OS to Mavericks, Premiere CC can successfully "export", but it cannot "queue" into Media Encoder CC.
All that happens is Media Encoder launches and then it just sits there with a "Not currently encoding" status.
I've restarted, re-downloaded, and verified this issue on two separate machines running two seperate CC accounts.
This is becoming increasingly frustrating as it hinders our editing time, We used to be able to add sequences to the queue and keep on editing but now we must wait for each individual sequence to render.
Any recommendations?

Adobe Media Encoder won't take mov. files!?

My Adobe Media Encoder will not take mov. files! That should not be a problem, right? When I click the Add-button the mov. files is not listed up unless I choose to show all files. And when selecting the file, the program says the file could not be imported -_-
Probably a stupid newbie mistake, but can anyone tell me what it is?
I have downloaded the latest flash CS4 trial package, which include the encoder, and am trying to encode files provided with adobe's book "Adobe flash CS4 professional - Classroom in a book"

I found the answer. I needed to install Quicktime lol

CS4 Media Encoder freezes on importing Premiere Project

I'm using PPro CS4 on XP professional (German), Service Pack 3.
From one moment to the next Media Encoder stopped working.
When I try to export media from Premiere everything works fine until i start the encoding process.
Media Encoder says "Loading project file..." (figuratively- i'm using the German version) and then freezes soon after ("application is not responding").
I waited for more than 4 hours but nothing changes. XP's task manager shows that Media Encoder is consuming more and more virtual memory, but there ist absolutely no disk i/o.
Media Encoder still works when encoding plain video files in contrast to sequences from premiere.
What i did try up to now:
- exported very simple sequences in different formats
- reinstalled all Adobe CS4 Pro Applications
- removed application data from user folder
- installed the latest SATA/USB controller drivers
but it still remains the same.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi
Here is just one more unhappy Media Encoder user.
Symptoms are the same described in this tread: ME freezes, nothing happen for 5 min. after hitting start queue. Then I get the following error “Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted”
I red almost all threads (and they are many) on ME troubleshooting. Didn't find a solution yet.
In the C:/Documents & settings/.../Temp folder there is only .prproj and epr (?) files that can't be red by ME.
I tried different types of sequence to export in PPr including a simple .avi wide screen (and short ones too)
I tried different output formats in Ppr exporting setting as well, including .avi, mpeg...
I tried to manually add the .prprop file to ME and of course it didn't help
I deleted the indexing of the folder (one of Harm or Bill's advice)
I deleted the pref of PPr and ME (see Genuine Project advice)
I had no problem exporting to Encore and making DVD
This is Win XP, PPr CS4
I know I'm short with hw (laptop – 4 GB Ram) – graphic chipset and one hdd only and I'm looking for a replacement. But could this ME problem be a hw one?
I keep hoping there is a way.
