Add Metadata, Options to Open in Adobe Media Encoder for Video Files

I was surprised to discover that some basic information about video files is not shown. For example, the duration of a QuickTime video is not shown.
Also, there is no option to open an MOV file in Adobe Media Encoder.
It would be nice to have this basic support for video.

Flash Media Encoder for video files streaming.

Is there a free Encoder to play video files instead of Live video feed?
Thank you.

Thanks - I know you can output; but want to use a file for input. It's
like you want to pre-record and play back at the appropriate time as if it is
live. Thanks.

New PC, downloaded CC 2014. Flash not showing up as option to rip in Adobe Media Encoder or in After Effects. Help?

Why is .flv not an option in Adobe Media Encoder or Adobe After Effects?
Also, when Adobe Captivate converts the video it looses the Alpha channel.

Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down. It would be helpful to provide some kind of list of what comp settings carry over into AME from After Effects. Is it essentially everything that is enabled in the Timeline? (I know that motion blur settings do.)
I'll put this in a feature request, but yes, we need the other half of After Effects Render Queue in AME in order for AME to be a good replacement for rendering from AE. I'll give you my thoughts on why Render Settings are essential before you would actually want to render with AME instead of doing so because you have to (either because you want to render in the background, or need a codec that has been removed from AE.)
1. Speed: Simply applying a Render Settings preset is much faster than manually setting motion blur, frame blending, work area, etc.
2. Reliability: Not being able to apply a Render Settings preset at the time of render is a recipe for missing a crucial setting buried in a comp, then having to redo a render and wasting time.
3. Features: As noted above, there is no way to approximate Render Queue's ability to change resolutions at render, which results in a lot of wasted time when that feature is needed.
Render Settings I think are crucial to making AME rendering worthwhile for AE users:
1. Rendering resolution
2. Work Area/Entire Composition toggle
3. Field Rendering (wait, does this mean AME can't currently render to fields?)
4. And PRESET ability these settings, so I'm not doing them manually every time.
I realize that your team clearly doesn't spend the same amount of time I do making low res H264 previews and sending final files out in H264 format, so you don't appreciate the impact of the changes you made. Moving to AME for that stuff is a real inconvenience, but implementing the settings above could help soften the blow.
Thanks,
Jerry

Premiere stops when opening tab "Adobe Media Encoder"

Working with Premiere CS3
When I want to export movie to flv, I open File-> Export-> Adobe Media Encoder
Then I have to select, but since a few days when I click the Adobe Media Encoder button, Premiere stops and is out of service.
When I start up Premiere again, it repeats.
Yesterday I've downloaded Quicktime (of a CD which needed it for playing).
But after uninstall Quicktime, the problem is still there.
So I've set back the date to Wednesday (two days ago) but nothing will help.
How can I solve this problem?

More information would be very useful. This ARTICLE will give you tips on what types of info are needed, and how to gather some of it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Media Encoder for CS4 error Could not read from the source

Hello,
I get an error when I try to export from Premiere CS4. It doesn't matter how I export. Seems like an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated:

Thank you

When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
Do one or both of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Close all Adobe applications.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
Do one of the following:
Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Re-install your Adobe software.

Adobe Media Encoder and f4v files

I have a bunch of f4v files that were created by FMLE 3.2 that I'd like to convert to a more usable format, but when trying to open them in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, I get an error that says:
"The file <my file> could not be imported. The source compression type is not supported."
These are f4v files straight from FMLE, with h264 video and aac audio, and they play fine in VLC. This is all running on Mac OS 10.8.
What gives? Can AME really not open f4v files from FMLE?

Apparently not.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 + .MTS Files

Greetings!
In the past I have used Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to convert .mts files from my Canon Vixia HF200. These were taken off an external hard drive, not in the original file structure. I converted them to Quicktime H.264 and everything worked great.
However, now I have tried the same process with Adobe Media Encoder CS5, but now I get a message that the "Compression Type is Not Supported"
I have tried multiple computers and reinstalled a few times.
Has anyone seen this or do you have any suggestions?
My Setup:
Mac OS X 10.6.x
Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.x
Final Cut Studio 3
Thanks,
Steve

I am having a similar problem. We have a client with .MTS files I need to convert into .mov. When I try to add one in it states that the Compression Type is not Supported.
I have:
CS5- Flash, InDesign, Illustrator, DW, Fireworks, Catalyst, PS, Adobe Reader, Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager. Nothing is a trial version.
I don't have any of the other programs listed in the above post.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Adobe Media Encoder All Video Output 'White'

Hi all,
I am attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder to export a QT h264 optimized for upload to facebook from a QT file exported 'Same as Source' from Avid MC 5.0.3, whic would be 1080i60 1920x1080. The source file playsback correctly in QT player or VLC, but even the output preview screen in AME shows only a white image.
I've also tried converting a completely different QT file created in Premiere Pro, with the same white video output issue. I've tried opening/closing AME with no luck, but hte last time I used it I didn't have any problems and was able to produce the desired end result.
Thoughts?
Thanks for your input,
Lindsay

Hi,
Yes you are correct in assuming the two software packages are on different machines. I am using Premire Pro CS5 5.0 and Avid Nitris DX MC 5.0.3 And no, I do not believe I have installed any Avid Codecs. I just followed your link, will download and do so now. I'm assuming this will fix the bug, but if not I will let you know.
Thanks for your help!

Why Adobe media Encoder makes 3 files when export in MPEG2 ?

I try to compress a sequence using File-Export-Adobe Media Encoder -MPEG2-DVD. I want to reduce the size of my sequence (normaly exported as .AVI file) When done, I have 3 files: 1) .m2v 2) .Wav 3) .mcses
What are theses files ? Should I use something else to reduce the size of my files to fit on a 4.7G DVD...?
Thanks !
Franc St-Louis

The .m2v file contains the MPEG-2 video.
The .wav file contains the PCM (uncompressed) audio.
The .mcses file contains information about chapter markers.
Encore will use the MPEG-2 file "as is" and by default compress the PCM audio to Dolby Digital (AC3).
There are basically two options to make your project fit on a DVD:
Export a DV AVI file from Premiere and let Encore decide on the best compression settings "on automatic".
Do a bit budget calculation and use the bit rate numbers found in Premiere's Media Encoder.
To assist you with the bit budget you can use one of these online calculators:
Bitrate Calculator
CustomFlix Bit Budget Calculator
Chris Linke Bit Budget Calculator
DVD-HQ Bitrate & GOP calculator

Adobe Media Encoder for AE export creates unwanted black background on load in white background

Hi. I have a seamless white website design. I added a white background to my AE file and also exported to Adobe Media Encoder with a white background, but I'm still getting a flash of black when the video loads. I have read discussions of this being a "bug" of the media encoder, but curious if anyone found a workaround. It's distracting to have the back load to black and then change to white, so I appreciate any recommendations. For now, my only idea it to re-record the video after the black flash, using a screen capture app, but this seems tedious and does not produce optimum results. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your reply!
I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

Adobe Media Encoder and .TS files

After updating the Adobe Media Encoder to the 2014.1 Release, every time I try to encode (convert) a .ts file I get audio issues post render no matter what I render out to. It's only an issue when encoding (converting) .ts files. I can convert an .mpg, .mov, etc. and it comes out fine. Before this release I could render out .ts files just fine and had no issues. Can someone help me understand what changed and why I can't convert .ts files anymore without getting distorted audio after converting? The sound renders out as a reverb effect kind of like the audio was cut in space.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Still not working for me. Please help? I use Adobe Media Encoder on a daily basis.

Adobe Media Encoder - stretching video possible?

This is a question about CS4 Flash Media Encoder(not Live Encoder) but as I can't find a forum for it, I'm posting here.
Is it possible to stretch video? When selecting 'Resize Video' if the software believes the output proportions are different to the source proportions, it fills the space with black bars.
However the CS3 Video Encoder would stretch the video to the dimensions specified regardless of any variation in proportions.
Am I missing a setting, or has the video stretching feature been removed in the CS4 version?
I am using the most up-to-date version of the software at the time of writing (Adobe Media Encoder V4.1.0.107)

I just came across this same problem and cannot find any setting that seem to do what we need.
And yes, I'm sure we both are aware it is not a great idea to be stretching and squeezing, but sometimes you have to do it.
I would be interested to know if there is a way.
Just found this releated thread:

Adobe Media Encoder for PPro CS2

Anyone know where I can grab this update for Adobe Media Encoder CS2? Seems like all links to it are dead, and unfortuently Adobe feels the need not to host old updates to old programs, I assume to force you to later versions.
Does anyone have the update on their PC? Any help would be much appreciated!
See knowldge base # 330380
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=330380&sliceId=1
Link to update is dead.

Yes, I do not ever recall any updates/patches for anything on the Premiere side of the whole Production Studio suite - AE, AI, PS, but not PrPro or En.

Adobe Media Encoder different audio file to video file.

Hello,
I've been encoding files from several different DVD's and when I play the encoded file the video is correct but the audio is from a completely different file. This is I am assuming is because the file names on the DVD's are the same i.e. VTS_01_1.. etc. When I realised it was doing this I permanently deleted the incorrectly encoded files, sorted all of the correctly encoded files into seperate folders for each DVD. This did not work even though media encoder was creating new file names for each file it encoded. I then re-named all of the correct files and re-named the files that I was about to encode. I have also cleared the media cache database. The files on the DVD's are fine and play as they should with the correct audio. What do I need to do to get the files to encode with the correct audio?!!! Thank you!

Try this - in Project Bin, right-click the clip in question and select "Make Offline". Then right-click again and choose "Link Media" and point it to the correct source file. Could be that the pointers got all confused as like you said, as sources had the same names.
If that fails to resolve the problem - cleaning the Media Cache only works for projects that no longer exist, or are on a drive that is disconnected. Assuming that maybe the Conformed audio that is being used in the background is messed up, try this - close Premiere, then RENAME the project file, for instance add an "x" to beginning of filename. Now open Premiere (new project), then clean the cache again. Since it can't find your project, it should then remove all temp renders from the drive for that project.
Next, rename project to original name and open and it should conform audio again as if just adding media for the first time. Hopefully for correct clips this time, if you have moved media around on drive to eliminate overlap of file names.
