Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 update forces Frame Blend

I didn't really want to repost, but I felt the title and info in my previous post were innacurate (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2576915#2576915)
In my previous post, I thought Premiere was to blame, but after a few reinstallations, I've found that the update to AME 4.2 causes the problem.
I've found that Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 forces Frame Blend, even if it has been disabled on each clip of the timeline, when the frame rate of your sequence settings differ from the frame rate of the target format.
Example: Exporting from 24fps Desktop -> MPEG2-DVD (23.976fps)
Adobe Media Encoder 4.1 does not have this behavior.  I've reverted to 4.1 for the time being.
If anyone has a workaround for this, or any other info on this problem, please share.

I am having a similar problem.  Is it just me or is it Adobe?  I have had so many problems with Adobe Premiere CS4.  It may have also been exacerbated by the fact the I updated to 4.2.1 (mostly in part to determine if another issue was resolved with this update).
I have some editing background in the Windows Movie Maker and iMovie world, and was excited to use Adobe Premiere, but I have had nothing but problems.
Everything that I am trying to do, looks really washed out, and renders the video useless.
I am trying to do what you just described, with speeding up and slowing video to match the computer actions with the person's voice.  I am capturing video using CamStudio and Helix YV12 CODEC, and tried to use HuffyUV lossless compression: using DV-NTSC as the standard format.
Then I go to compose my video, and output the video, but the video is crap.  It sounds like the Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder are having major problems.
I tried rendering it to Uncompressed Microsoft AVI with UYVY @ 100% quality, and tried to compare it with Windows Media at the highest quality, and it is frustrating.  When I hear that Frame Blend is being applied, it seems to look worse.
I am running:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.33 GHz (which is kind of slow)
8 GB RAM, 2 SATA 1 TB Drives WD Caviar Green (a little substandard)
Windows XP 64-bit
Let me know there is another process that I am missing.  I don't really want to give up on Adobe Premiere, but from a end-user standpoint, I will have to revert back to using WMM due to time constraints.  I want to take full advantage of all of the editing and effects capabilities of Premiere, but can't because I can't even produce a decent export to be used by any other program (and given that every conversion will in some way affect the quality of the output, I want to reduce any intermediate steps).
Arrggh!!!

  • Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder

    I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
    The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
    I've found two solutions to this problem:
    1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
    2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
    Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
    I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.

    No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
    My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
    So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
    To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
    I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
    Well, enough rambling.
    To put it simple:
    Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
    Thanks!

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC (7.0.1) Update

    Hi all,
    The Adobe Media Encoder CC (7.0.1) update is now available.
    See this post for details, including how to install the update:

    Does the AME not support CUDA like Premiere Pro?
    It used to in CS6.  It does not in CC7. 
    Direct export may be the better way to go.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.2 Update Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

    So, I get this strange error when I try to update AME CC 7.2.2. What to do?
    Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.2 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

    [ Mac 10.9.3 / Indesign CC update fail / Premiere update fail / Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2 update fail ]
    AME:lle ei ole omaa unistalleria, vaan sen asentavat muut CC:n ohjelmat käyttöönsä.
    Mulla ei onnistunut ID CC:n ja Premierin päivitys. Niihin olisi ollut tulossa vain tuo AME:n päivitysosa. Ainakin mulla ongelmia näytti aiheuttavan MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework, joka esti AME:n päivittämisen. Poistin sen käsin AME:n sisältä.
    Poistin Premieren (uninstall) ja asensin sen uudestaan. Buuttasin koneen. Sen jälkeen molempien päivitys onnistui.
    There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
    I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too.

    Why did AME just stop working?
    No updates to either OS or Adobe product....why oh why...I have to export for a SFX spot session & now I have to use Premiere Pro to do it & stop editing!

    Hi Rave
    Thanks for that.
    However I'm in the middle of a doco with tight deadlines for festival delivery & I can't afford to reinstall everything again at this point...ideally I'd like to remain on the same version of PPCC without upgrading (& so with it any number of new issues I haven't got time to deal with which would be the case if following your strategy). Better the devil you know & all that.
    Can I delete apps using the cleaner tool & then reload 7.2.1 PPCC instead of the latest version? Is AME still working with this version of PPCC? Let me know the workflow & links if possible.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 - 5.0.1 update

    When I try to update AME CS5 using Adobe Updater, I get this error message:
    The following updates were unable to install. If you wish to install these updates, please fix the problems below and retry:
    Adobe Media Encoder CS5 5.0.1
    Adobe Media Encoder CS5 has been moved or deleted improperly. Please launch or reinstall the application to update the location and try again. To remove the product from the system, please uninstall product using the aliases under "/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers"
    A few problems with this - there isn’t an AME uninstaller alias. Also there isn't an installer on the retail DVD, so I wouldn't be able to reinstall anyway. This is further complicated by the fact that the 5.0.1 update is not available online for download. Maybe I'm missing something here, and this is just a stupid mistake on my part.
    I have launched and used AME as well as checking that it is installed correctly (correct location) in my current configuration – still no luck with the auto update.
    Is there a way to tell Adobe (or Adobe Updater) the location of AME, so this install will complete successfully?
    Has anybody else seen this issue?
    Has anybody else resolved this issue?
    Any help is appreciated -

    Adobe CS5 Master Collection (all current release except AME)
    AME 5.0.0.402 (64bit)

    I did install the Adobe Support Advisor before posting. ASA was a little quirky on the Mac as well, but I finally got it to work; however, it reported no issues. Thanks for the suggestion though.
    What I ended up doing was moving the AME directory to the root level on the system - and then back to it's original location in the Applications folder (same location it has been in). This must have updated something on the OS side because once I ran the updater again - all updates installed successfully.
    I'm not sure how the issue came about, but it appears that the OS or Adobe had some incorrect information in a config or installer log file somewhere and by moving the folder out and then back it was resolved/updated.
    thanks -

  • Adobe Media Encoder update is available for this version

    When I exporting a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, there comes a screen appears and indicates that "Adobe Media Encoder update is available for this version."
    I go to the page "www.adobe.com / go / updates and downloads" Adobe Media Encoder CS 5.5.1 for windows 64-bit "
    Subsequently I start the download file and get a message "Some updates were not installed"
    How do I fix my problem and get the latest update installed, or get Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for not knowing modest and the available update for "Adobe Media Encoder"

    I selected run as administrator, no effect.
    I am using version 5.0.3, on win7  when i select help and update the adobe application manager reads "your aplications are all up-to-date", i would assume this is the current version.
    No matter what i try to export from any project regardless of codec or output i receave this message
    "an adobe media encoder update is availiable for this version of premierepro. to download the latest update, pleas run  the adobe updater form the help menue orvosot http://adobe.com/go/updates."
    I went to the help menue and selected help and i still get the adobe application manager "your aplications are all up-to-date"

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.1) update available

    The Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.1) update is available.
    It has bug fixes and some new features.
    You'll see from the post above that one of the features is left somewhat unexplained for the moment. That's because we wanted to get the bug fixes for Adobe Media Encoder out as soon as possible, rather than hold this update and wait for it to coincide with certain other events. Stay tuned. We'll have more information about that new feature quite soon.

    I'm having a problem with Media Encoder 6.0.1 - it will encode for a few minutes, then slow down and sit, and then stop with an error (Error compiling movie.  Unknown error).  This happens with both h.264 and MPEG2, exporting 1080p.  This is with Windows 7, and the Task Manager shows the used memory increase and the CPU usage increase when ME starts, and when it slows down the CPU usage stops and the memory usage goes down.
    (When it stops with the error it makes a loud noise, like a goat dying!  Must be the programmers idea of how to notify there is an error!)
    This is happening on two different computers running Production Premium CS6 , and is pretty consistent between the two.  I don't know if ME 6.0 had this issue, only had CS6 a few days before the 6.0.1 update and may not have exported a file.  There have been no encoding issues at all with CS5 and CS5.5.
    Any ideas what is causing this - something in the setup?  A bug?

    After you've installed the update, let us know how it works for you.

    Todd,
    I am working on my home computer after (or before) business hours, so phone support won't work for me. I have sent crash reports with my email if they want to contact me for details.
    MPEG Streamclip is working like a charm (same files, same codec), so I know it's not the files or the codec (I am using Avid's DNxHD).
    I have actually managed to crash AME with a single enqueued file (that is enqueing that single file crashed AME). The file plays fine and as I said, Streamclip has no problem with it...

  • Turning off frame blending in Adobe Media Encoder

    Is there a way to turn off frame blending in Adobe Media Encoder?  I have a bunch of
    Flip Mino HD footage (1280x720p) which I wish to convert to P2 720p format so that
    I can more easily mix and match it in the Premiere timeline with actual P2 footage
    shot on an HVX200.
    I successfully used Media Encoder to perform this task but there is one problem.  The
    Flip footage is 30fps and P2 720p is 29.97fps.  So Media Encoder uses frame blending.
    The frame blending sometimes creates obnoxious artifacts so I would like to turn it
    off but there seems to be no way to do this (or alternatively "conform" the 30fps input
    to 29.97fps so that no blending is nescessary).
    After Effects CS4 would seem like an alternative since it has nice batch composition
    creation and rendering features but it cannot render to the P2 format - it appears to
    have a older version of Media Encoder embedded within it - predating P2 support.
    I would like a solution that is easily "batchable" as I have several hunderd Flip Mino HD
    clips that need to be processed.
    You might also ask, why not just import the Flip clips unchanged into Premiere CS4
    and mix them with the P2 clips?....I have tried this and it seems to drive Premiere crazy
    introducing various crashes and other strange behaviors.  The pre conversion to P2
    route seems to work fine.  I just want to get rid of the frame blending.

    I happened upon this video just before I made my posting and it doesn't help with the
    crashes/hangs.  When I import more than about 20 Flip Mino HD clips it seems to trigger
    some sort of memory corruption bug in Premiere.  Some of the clips start to just
    show as solid green in their thumbnail views in the timeline and scrubbing the timeline
    eventually hangs Premiere altogether.  This is reproducible on two different computers
    although the exact symptoms change slightly each time it is tried.  Importing only 3 or 4
    clips actually seems to work, at least for a short while.
    The problems happen even if the only thing imported into the project are Mino footage and
    the Sequence is set to Desktop or XDCAM mode.  So the crashes have nothing to do
    with P2 editing mode.
    The same installation of Premiere CS4 on one of these computers has been just used to
    successfully edit and render out a P2 project with hundreds of clips, stills and titles so the
    basic CS4 installation seems to be solid.
    I'll eventually file a bug report but for now I'm more interested in getting the job done.
