Adobe Media Encoder - Encoding Very Unreliable and Freezes regularly

Hello All
Would really appreciate this being addressed very soon as it is having a huge negative effect on our workflow currently.
Basically we have 4 films all no more than 30mins in length that we need to encoded for BluRay and DVD having edited them in Premiere Pro CC. We open AME and load up the PP sequences we need to encode (they are all the 4 films from the same project just different sequences).The sequences load and we set destinations for the encoded files and check the formats that we are encoding too etc and then hit start/go and the encoding starts. However, it simply takes AGES to even begin encoding and sometimes it doesn't even start it just sits there like a lemon seemingly doing nothing at all! It has not frozen as I can access menus etc but it is just looking like it is about to do something but it either takes about 15-20mins for something to start happening, then it encodes fine (until it reaches the next sequence then AME usually becomes unresponsive and I have to Force Quit!)
Why is it freezing like this and why is it talking so long to begin the encodes?
We have kept the 'Enable native Premiere Pro sequence import' checked in the Preferences as this has been working okay for single encodes to the web and I really like the speed it brings the projects into AME at. I do not want to have to uncheck this option. If it is a bug that is causing the problem meaning we have to work around it by diabling this handy feature then Adobe should be busting their tail to bring out a fix for this. Doing without a feature is not a solution!
Also, we have GPU CUDA acceleration on in the Renderer again this should be on in my opinion and I am not happy with changing to 'Software Only' as a resolution. This will not do!
With these four films we have two different encoding formats happening at the same time often when the problem happens (one to BluRay and one to DVD) however it is now also happening with just DVD encodes so I am highly frustrated as I have deadlines and not meeting them as finding it nearly impossible to get anything out of AME in a resonable and timley manner. THIS NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION ADOBE! When CC was introduced I am pretty sure we were promised faster routes to upgrades and fixes to issues.
I'd really appreciate either some assistance to the problem or a confirmation of when the next update is coming that will resolve the problem. Otherwise, FCPX and Compressor is looking like a good investment and I'll jack in my CC subscription!
Many thanks

So I tried again without unchecking the box and it worked......after 50 minutes of idling following me hitting the 'go/play' button in AME.
Once the encoding began it worked great. Why did it take so damn long to start the encode?
Weird!
Incidentally, I did try unchecking the box and AME crashed/became unresponsive on starting the encode which is why I tried again with the above method. Is it just that is was a long sequence? It was approx. 25 mins for peoples information.

Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 (64bit) freezes at the start of encoding

Hey everyone. I have this problem since ever and never found solution for it even at google. The thing is that after I finish my project in Adobe Premiere and going to export it, Media Encoder starts encoding but freezes at connecting to dynamic media server. After some time Im getting error, operation was interrupted by user. The only way to encode my footage is... You wont believe but - I need to logout and log again on my windows account. After I do that and try to encode everything works fine. No idea what couses problem, tried to check my processes list and turned off all adobe premiere connected but no resoult. There has to be something what is shuting down while loging out of my account and blocks adobe media encoder. No idea what is it though. I still can export my footage but it is annoying coz sometimes Id like to enode my footage in the background and Im in the middle of something so I cant just logout :/
Any help would be appreciated.

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

Adobe Media Encoder lost sound and had 128MB file - Why?

Guys,
Any help would be appreciated. I usually use Adobe Media Encoder to convert my files to flv or f4l - But something happened on the way to the party - The file was an .avi file about 100MB and AME would give me a file of about 128MB with no sound and the conversion took about 11 minutes. Someone on another forum suggested Xilisoft Video Converter I had never used. This thing got the sound right file was 48MB and it was done in ONE MINUTE AND 48 SECONDS...
Obviously I was doing something wrong with Adobe Media Encoder can anyone suggested what I was messing up.
Cheers,

Hi,
I do not know exactly the setting to did in the AME, but this problem generally happned when you do not select to export the sound along with the video and do not set a compression for the output video.
Hope this helps

I'm trying to make a dvd, can anyone tell me why this is happening??

Sounds like you unsuccessfully trying to output a 5.1 Master to a stereo or mono file. Or something along those lines.

Mail Drop very unreliable and freezing

Trying to send 2 GB file via Mail Drop (as advertised by Apple). The result is - although on extremely fast internet, upload goes very slowly or no upload at all. After some inactivity, impossibly to erase the email from the outbox, even after restarting the computer. Everything slowed down and half frozen ... I don't find it very well working. Putting on ftp goes just fast ...

So I tried again without unchecking the box and it worked......after 50 minutes of idling following me hitting the 'go/play' button in AME.
Once the encoding began it worked great. Why did it take so damn long to start the encode?

Incidentally, I did try unchecking the box and AME crashed/became unresponsive on starting the encode which is why I tried again with the above method. Is it just that is was a long sequence? It was approx. 25 mins for peoples information.

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 hangs when "hidden" or when paused for longer than a minute

When I hide Adobe Media Encoder while it's encoding, it always hangs (ie. I can't unhide it). Also, if I pause an encode for longer than a minute, AME freezes and I have to force quit. Has this happened to anyone else and have you found a fix for this?
Mac OSX 10.9 (this issue also happened when I was on 10.8)
2 x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon

Thanks

I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (could also happen with minimized applications). This would mostly likely be the problem if your issue only happens in OSX 10.9... but if it happens in OSX 10.8 then it I'm puzzled.
Did you check the Console for any error messages?
Anyways, try disabling App Nap for AME first...
Go to your Applications folder
Expand the Adobe Media Encoder CC folder
Right-click on "Adobe Media Encoder CC.app" and select Get Info
Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
You could also do the same for other Adobe applications.

Adobe media encoder not available in Photoshop CC - attempting to render animation.

I just downloaded CC about a week ago. I'm running it on a 32 bit Windows 8 PC. I've been trying to export video but the adobe media encoder is gray and unavailable. I can't find any support on this issue. I purchased the photography plan as all I needed was Photoshop. Anyone know what to do? When I try downloading the media encoder from the adobe website, nothing happens.

Unfortunately, video features are not supported for photoshoop cc and cc 2014 on windows 32 bit operating systems.

Adobe Media Encoder CS 5.5 hangs on startup

I've been using AME CS5.5 successfully for some time now, however, this week I was given a WMV file that used the GoToMeeting.com codec for video and AME (along with every viewer I had) couldn't open it until I'd installed GoToMeeting. After which, I could view the video with irfanview and windows media player, but AME would still not open it. So, I installed MS Expression Encoder 4 which COULD open it, and I encoded it with a standard VC-1 codec. I was expecting to then be able to open AME and encode it into FLV as I usually do. However, when I did that I found the program would no longer open. The splash image shows as it loads modules, but when it hits the quicktime one, it hangs. I've made a quick vidcap of the issue here:
http://screencast.com/t/cc8b6a7nJu
I rushed a little in the vidcap, but I've let it sit for up to an hour, and still got nothing.
I've tried deleting the AppData folder completely (C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\5.5) and got nothing and the files that are then contain no useful information.
Is it possible that MSEE somehow corrupted the ImporterQuicktime.pm module (seems pretty unlikely to me)? Couldn't have been GoToMeeting because I was able to start AME without any problems after I'd installed that.
My system is Windows 7 and I'm using CS5.5 (Design Premium)
Thanks!

HI
Please try this:
Delete everything in the following folders.
I see you did this for the first one.
See if deleting the other ones solves this issue.
C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\5.5
C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME
C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files
AME doesn't have uninstaller. Since Design Premium installed it, the only way to uninstall it is to uninstall the entire suite.
I suspect one of these other applications you installed or modified Quicktime (which we do use) and in turn this is causing a problem for AME. You might also want to uninstall/reinstall Quicktime player again on your system and see if that solves this issue.

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...

Problem in Adobe Media Encoder CS6 Presets

This Problem appears to me when I want to export a project in MPEG preset:
I can't export an MPEG Video.
but H.264 and MOV is working.
My program and version is Adobe Media Encoder CS6. And the same is happened in Adobe Premiere CS6 and Adobe AfterEffects CS6.
So my question is: I want a link to choose and download presets fro Media Encoder (New presets or update the standard presets).
With my best wishes to Adobe to move forward.

OK, give this a shot.

My YouTube video looks blurry using Adobe Media Encoder

Im trying to upload a video to YouTube but the video always turns out blurry and pixilated regardless of what settings I use in my Adobe Media Encoder. I shot the video on a Sony 1080i HD camcorder, I know YouTube reduces the quality but I expect my images (ie peoples faces) should still be clear enough to see but that hasnt been the case. I went to the following site for guidance but I still cant get it right.
http://www.squidoo.com/youtuberight
Here are my settings that I thought would make my video look great on YouTube. What am I doing wrong?
H.264 format
Frame Width (pixels): 320
Frame Height (pixels): 240
4:3 Aspect Ratio
30 frames per second
TV Standard: NTSC
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 1 Pass
Target Bitrate (Mbps): 0.344
Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 0.64

I heard sometime ago that YouTube converts everything uploaded to
Flash or FLV format. I have not used the iPod format for this purpose in CS3 but Rick has obviously found that it works well, however, I would recommend using Adobe Media Encoder to FLV and set it to 320X240 with no more than 1MB/sec bit rate to maximize quality and minimize file size since it's not going to be larger than that on Youtube.
The FLV raw file will be ecoded using VP6 or Sorenson's older version courtesy of PPro CS3 unfortunatley, but I feel the best codec to use is 264. Why PPro, especially CS3, does not offer this codec is unkown. That could be a reason why Rick's videos look good and that he may have shot them in HD. But then again, HD to 320X240 would seem to be self defeating. iPod format is indeed, believe it or not, 720X480. If you have published anything to the iTunes store, this is a required format which is not optional as it is with Youtube.
