Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder. I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me. I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more. This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

Why won't Premiere/Media Encoder export FLV?

I seem to be unable to export to Flash Video under any circumstances. The result is the same regardless of what type of video I try to export: I have tried SD DV and HDV (more details below). In any case, the result is the same: AME loads, I click Start Queue, and it hangs with no progress in the conversion. When I check processes I see PPProHeadless, Import* and processcoordinationserver with no CPU utilization, and no progress in the output file. I end up having to end the AME application. I am able to export other types of video (MPEG-2, AVI, etc.) without a problem.
Here is some more detailed information:
The source video for one case was HDV 1440x1080 60i MPEG-2, and in the other case, a 720x480 SD DV AVI. I am outputting about 60 seconds of material, so I would not expect the process to take long. I have allowed AME to run for 15 minutes uninterrupted and there is no progress. When I Stop Queue and ask it to stop the current conversion, I get a hard hang and have to use TM to end the process. I have tried this process for all of the existing Flash Video export presets- none work. There is nothing interesting in the AME log (just a start queue description, which I'm appending to the end of this message).

Adobe media encoder export error "writer not found"

When trying to export to wmv using adobe media encoder I get an export error of "writer not found". I did a search and found others having the same issue with no fix as far as I can see. Just wondering if anyone has any more iformation on this. I'm using Vista Ultimate and Premiere CS3.
Thanks

I registered the WMEncoderHelper.exe file with regserv, but I still get
the "writer not found error". I wish I knew what codec it is trying to find and use.

Adobe Media Encoder exports different video than what appears in CS4 timeline

I'm using Premiere CS4 to edit a short skiing video. All shots were taken using a GoPro @ 60fps, 720p. All of the clips were converted into slow motion by using "Interpret Footage" and setting the frame rate to 24. I used the sequence preset "AVCHD 720p 24", and editing seemed to work fine. The video played smoothly and correctly. However, after exporting in Adobe media encoder, the video was far different than what I previewed in the timeline. It seems as though each clip shows up at the correct time, but it disregarded any trimming I did to the clips and each one is played from the very beginning. Also, each clip plays extremely slowly, and there is signifigant ghosting (frame blending issue?). I can also see that the preview window that shows up while I set the export settings displays the incorrect video as well. However, if i change it from "source" to "output", it displays it correctly. I tried exporting using H.264 720 24p and the youtube HD widescreen preset, both of which failed. I am somewhat new to HD video, but I cannot seem to come up with any reason why my video will not export correctly. Any thoughts?

Adobe Media Encoder Export Settings Window Dimensions Problem

Any help on this would be appreciated: I'm on a macbook pro, osx 10.6, using CS4 Web Premium. I used to have an external monitor hooked up which had much higher resolution, so when using Adobe Media Encoder I'd click the Settings button on a video to get the Export Settings window, then stretched the Export Settings window to be the size of my external monitor. Now, I'm just using my laptop, and the export settings window does not have the resize buttons at top left to adjust it back to the size of my laptop, and the bottom third of the export settings window is getting cut off so I can't see the cancel/ok buttons etc.
I've tried re-installing media encoder (via reinstalling flash using the CDs) to try to 'reset' the window sizes, didn't fix the problem.
If anyone knows of any other preferences or something I could delete to fix this, I'd be one thankful dude.

Yes, I was getting the same response. It means Adobe is not using OS native windows (shame on them!).I just tried something with CS4 that worked, though. Try this:
Quit Media Encoder
Go to UserHomeDirectory > Library > Preferences > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > 4.0 and delete the files called 'AMEPrefs.xml' and 'AppPrefs.xml'.
Then restart Media Encoder. For me, this reset the window size and placement. I tried moving the Export Settings window down so half of it was off the bottom of the screen. Once I deleted these files and restarted, the window was smaller and repositioned.
If that doesn't work, try downloading the demo of this product:
http://irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/
It says that Adobe programs are "trouble" programs, that they probably won't resize, but they should at least move. If nothing else, maybe you can move the window to a negative y value (up) so that the resize handle is visible, then move it back down so the header bar is visible again...

Adobe Media Encoder Export like source size

Hey,
i´m trying to set up a custom export setting based upon HD BlueRay Mpeg setting.
My source is a custom size (1400 x 1050 px), but i am not able to change to "size as source".
Any Ideas how to change that?

Marco,
You can use AME to encode a 1400x1050 M2V file.
You need to use the generic MPEG2 format (not Blu-ray or DVD) and change the Level to High. (High 1440 will also work, but it is designed for specific applications.) You will also need to set the Profile to Main or High.
The most important factor is what type of MPEG2 streams your playback device will support. That will be important for setting the Profile and Level values, which constrain the bitrate and therefore the frame size/frame rate of the MPEG2 stream. (This is what Mylenium was referring to.)
Read this for more technical detail about different Profiles and Levels:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.262/MPEG-2_Part_2#Video_profiles_and_levels
You cannot transfer encoding presets between After Effects and AME. However, remember than you can encode an After Effects comp directly from AME without rendering an intermediate comp first. Either drag and drop the comp from AE's Project panel into the AME queue, or simply import the AE project into AME, and choose the comp you wish to render. In the next version of After Effects, this process will be much easier with the introduction of a new Add To Adobe Media Encoder command from within After Effects.
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/04/whats-new-changed-after-effects-next.html
If you want to contact in-person support for AME, visit the following page and choose After Effects as the product (there is no AME option because AME is not sold separately).

Why is the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 extending the duration of my video?

Adobe media encoder exports look pixelated and has artifacts.

Hello all,
For the past week we've been having terriable looking videos after compressing them with premiere pro 2014 or AME CC 2014. I though it might be a key framing issue at first. When we look at the final product we have areas where pixilation and artifacting show. We film on canon c500 so we edit with mxc files. We export out with the Youtube settings and adjust them manually. We have 2 areas we export for. 1280x720 at 4mbps and 1920x1080 at 10 to 15mps. We have never had this bad of looking video before we switched to cc2014. I work on Mac OS X 10.9.4 with a 6 core inter Xeon 32GB memory and we have the Kona LHi AJA graphics card.
Here is an example of what we are getting.
test2.mp4 - Box
If you look at around 3 seconds the whole screen will pixalate and you'll see artifacts for about 10 frames. It's really bad in my opinion and we can't display this. I called Adobe for support and after 2 hours they only trashed my preferences and took my complaint. That's all the help I've gotten so far.
Any help will be very appreciated.
thanks for you're time.

Adobe Media Encoder Exporter.cpp 396 Error

Hi,
I'm receiving this error when I try to convert a .mpg to a .flv. I have Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 running on windows 7 x64. I have also encounted this error on Windows 7 x32.
I can use CS4 to convert the video but I would love to use CS5.5 as I am removing CS4 soon.
I tried to search around for this error but it seems no one else has come across it yet.
Much appreciated if I could get this working today.

Dito, I'm having the same problem.
Any solution yet?

WMV Won't Import in Adobe Media Encoder CS5

Have several WMV files known to be good (they playback fine in Windows Media Player etc.) but when i try to import any into Adobe Media Encoder CS5 it quickly reports "Error Compiling Movie Unknown Error"
I'm running Windows 7 version of AME. Anyone know a work around? I need to encode these to FLV so they can be easily viewed by most web browsers.

The above links are outdated since in 2010 the only encoder now provided by Microsoft is Expression Encoder 4, and the free version only exports VC-1 files. If you pay $49 to buy Expression Encoder 4 Pro it will convert WMV to H.264 which is natively supported in IE9. Microsoft Expression Encoder doesn't output to Flash.

Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails. Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.

I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset. AME fails every time with the following message:
"Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error."
Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine. The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime. I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
Interesting.
Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

Adobe Media Encoder: Audio won't export with video

I am trying to convert an AVCHD video for viewing on my iPad 3. I use Adobe Media Encoder and select the iPad 2 settings (1920x1080) and it exports the video perfect, but no audio. I have "Export Audio" checked off. I tried it with 5 other settings and it just wont include the audio. Any ideas?

Seems random people are running in to this, so hopefully this solution will be found by whomever's looking.
If you're exporting video files from Final Cut Pro as .mov, and then trying to convert said .mov to an .mp4 using Adobe Media Encoder and are losing audio even though you're multiplexing, try this...
Make sure that you export only a 2-channel audio track from FCP. When I export from FCP, I split my audio into various tracks by default. Great for making master clips, but problematic if uploading to YouTube or doing further encoding in Adobe Media Encoder. Like YouTube, if you have more than 2 tracks of audio, Media Encoder seems to get confused and ignores all audio tracks. Combine all audio into a 2-channel stereo track and see if that solves the problem.
Regardless of editing program, see if reducing number of audio channels from source clip solves problem.

Adobe Media Encoder - .wmv export not provided?

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on a Windows 7 machine. I need render out a Windows Media format (.wmv) but it is not found in any of the presets or from the format drop-down menu. Only F4V, FLV, H.264, H.264 (Legacy) and MP3 are available.
I can't find any information that indicates that I need to install extra codecs, but I believe this is the problem.
Or, maybe it's the version of Creative Suite that doesn't allow for certain file formats?
Anyone?
Thanks.

Hi thanser,
Adobe Media Encoder has all the codecs like QuickTime, WMV and others if you have any Video application Like, Premiere Pro, After Effects or SpeedGrade installed because these are royalty bearing codecs and can be activated if you have Video application installed and activated with the respective serial number. If you have license for Indesign, Illustrator or Photoshop you might not get these codecs. So, The video applications are provided with Master Collection suite or Production Premium suite and if you have any other suite you can only use Video Products as a trial for 30 days and get these codecs for a limited time.
Regards,
Vinay
