Adobe Media Encoder Excessively Slow After New Update

Recently (since the last update it seems like) Media Encoder has been excessively slow for me. For example - I loaded 4 videos in the the queue from Premiere that were about 5-10 minutes each. These videos were shot on DSLR and was a one shot the whole time with RGB curves on them and intro/out graphics. The render settings that I had for them were: h.264, 1080, 24fps, 4mbps min 5mbps max, VBR One pass. I hit the play button for them when I left work at 7 that night and the next day at 9 in the morning (14 hours later) only one had succesfully exported and the other one was only 20% done. I go into Premiere though and I can export the videos just fine and at a time that makes sense for my computer.
The computer that I have is an early macbook pro 2011 15 inch with 8gb of RAM, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, with 750gb harddrive (with 200gb free space).
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Media Encoder and it still takes forever. The most recent video that I got to export with it was a 40 second clip and at those same settings it took about 3 hours to export.
What can I do to fix this problem?

Wow!
People who bought CS5.5 during the free upgrade to CS6 period are still waiting for their free upgrade, and already an update
Seems like the PPro team is really watching what goes on here, and responding as quickly as possible

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?

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.

Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder running slow

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with CS4, which is running significantly slower than CS3 did on a older machine. The CS4 suite is installed on a Dell Precision M6400:
Windows Vista 64-Bit
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53 GHz
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M Graphics with 512MB dedicated memory
The OS is running on a 57.5 GB HD (C:) and the Adobe suite is installed on a 298 GB Solid State HD (D:), except for Adobe Media Encoder, which is installed on the C: drive.
My project has 4 15-16 minute sequences. The sequences are in DV NTSC, 29.97 fps, My scratch disks are set to a folder on the C: drive. Media Cache Files and the Media Cache Database points to a folder on the D: drive.
These are some of the problems I'm having:
- Premiere Pro CS4 generates peak files every time I open a project
- It then takes 3-5 minutes to render before I can preview a 16-minute sequence
- Adobe Media Encoder takes 5 hours to render a 16-minute sequence (as flv) that has been previously rendered
- AME takes 1 hour to render every 15 minute sequence that has never been rendered before
Are my settings affecting their performance? Is there any way to improve it? Thanks.
(Premiere Pro is the only app that is slow)

The data rate for replay is one thing, the data rate from disk to memory then from memory to CPU and back the other way are different matters and ought not to be confused. It is well-established that for a computer to edit AVCHD you need top end components, and note that I said there were three tasks to distinquish with increasing hardware requirements, namely merely replaying the video, specifying edits in the editor and then the rendering. It is commonly accepted by all the industry vendors that to do remotely commercial AVCHD rendering you need a minimum Quadcore CPU then that eats data fast, in order to not let it go to waste you need a fast motherboard bus fast memory and in order for none of those to go to waste you need the fastest disk set-up you can manage. I in fact have a 4-disk RAID0 volume using SATA (I think the disk model is SATAII but I have to await return from the repair center before I can confirm). For this RAID0 volume I have run speed test software from BlackMagic because I have one of their HDTV capture cards. It recorded that this volume which remember is doing parallelised IO is just fast enough to receive a encoded HDTV stream from the BlackMagic card but too slow to receive an uncompressed HDTV stream, indeed when I tried both I found the volume did keep up with compressed but fell behind with uncompressed. Remember that with a RAID0 volume of 4 SATAII disks a given file gets spread over the four disks and hence IO is spread over those 4 3G/s data lanes. Also remember with these disks 3G/s is just a burst speed, for AVCHD we are interested in sustained serial IO which is much less.
Before my machine broke down, I found that it took 5 hours to render 33 minutes of HDTV albeit as it went along it transcoded from AVCHD to a Microsoft HD format for Vista-only. Another interesting thing is that I found that the longer this render ran the slower it became, the estimated time started at 3 hours but the actual was five and the last one third took maybe 3 hours. Because the machine broke after that run I couldn't figure the bottleneck. For my machine bear in mind that at the repair shop we found that the Quadcore had only half the necessary electrical power plugged in, the monitor software showed however that it constantly ran around 90% of whatever capacity that reduced power supply permitted. Now then we can puzzle over why it got slower and slower and yet CPU consumption remained consistent and near to full capacity, memory was not the bottleneck because that was constant at 6.4G. But you can say that this was maybe performing like a Dualcore and was hitting some sort of wall, if you had a 1 hour render with that rate of degeneration of performance factored in what would happen to the render time, and for 3 hours you could be running indefinitely. I hope when the machine comes back the correct power supply will make it behave like a Quadcore should for this type of application. Anyway I have two theories for the degradation. First is just that PrProCS4 was getting its knickers in a twist and thereby just doing more computation per minute of video to be rendered as time went by, maybe internal resource management related to OO-type programming maybe, or related to disk IO falling behind, both these theories have problems, for the latter the CPU usage should then have dropped also.
Anyways, you need really a Quadcore system and blazing fast disk to work fully with AVCHD commercially, we found an external SATAII disk so if I were you I would just go get one and move on with your life.

For AVCHD you MUST have FAST disks.
AVCHD actually has a lower data date than DV. You need lots of CPU muscle, but disk speed is really not a factor specific to AVCHD. Anything that works for DV will work just as well for AVCHD (and HDV as well).

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 CS6 6.0.3-Update Beim Herunterladen dieses Updates ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Schließen Sie die Installation und wiederholen Sie die Installation zu einem späteren Adobe refuses support. I've paided for the product but they don't care

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 6.0.3-Update
Beim Herunterladen dieses Updates ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Schließen Sie die Installation und wiederholen Sie die Installation zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt. Fehlercode: U43M1D204

Ja wie gesagt es hat davor auch ohne Probleme Funktioniert nur war ich gezwungen das System neu zu Installieren und ab dann konnte ich die da oben genannten Updates nicht mehr Installieren. Ein Mac ist zwar eine schöne Sache kommt aber für mich nie in Frage da ich mein PC als Arbeitsrechner und Gamer Rechner nutze und das meiste läuft halt nicht auf einen Mac und man müsste manche Programme neu Kaufen, das sehe ich überhaupt nicht ein, und meine Anwendungen werden aus Prinzipien nicht für Apple Produkte entwickelt da verdient man kaum etwas... aber das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. An eine neue Version habe ich eventuell nächstes Jahr gedacht aber auch nur die CS6 ob man das brauch ist die Frage da CS 5 genau macht was es soll. Das Modell mit der Adobe Cloud hat zwar denn Vorteil das die Programme Aktuell sind aber man muss Monatlich dafür Zahlen und CS5/CS6 oder älter brauch man nur einmal Kaufen. Darüber hinaus finde ich eh das Adobe so eine richtige S*** ist wenn es um Support ältere Programme geht so zeigt Adobe meiner Meinung nach das Ihre Produkte nichts wert sind zumindest macht es den Anschein. Aber wie gesagt, bin ich hier um Hilfe zu bekommen um das Problem zu lösen ohne ein neue Version zu kaufen, das ist ja bekanntlich die einfachste Lösung, aber wenn Informatiker auch so denken würden dann würde es sehr schlecht aussehen... und als Anmerkung am Rande, es wäre ja nett wenn man mir denn Link dieser Updates zukommen lassen könnte um die Updates Manuell zu Installieren.
"Aber wie sollen wir denn Programme testen auf Hardware und OS, die es erst in ein paar Jahren geben wird."
Dies kann man in voraus natürlich nicht aber in nachhinein geht das und Software Entwickler denn etwas an Ihre Produkte liegt, machen das nachhinein auch und passen gegebenenfalls Ihr Produkt an.
PS: CS 2 läuft ebenfalls auf einem Windows 8.1 rechner ;-)

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

Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.2 Update Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28

I have Adobe Media Encoder which is no longer launching or recognised by Adobe App Manager. How cool is that. Can't install trial version of AME. Get the above error when doing so.
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!
Any solutions welcome by those who've been through this before.
OSX MAvericks, MAC PRO 4,1 2X2.66, 24GB RAM, 256GB SSD, GTX670, GT12O, AJA LHI, ADOBE CC

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 -
Jeremiah
System Config:
MacBook Pro 5,1 (15-in, late 2008)
OS 10.6.4
2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB (and GeForce 9400M 256 MB)
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 -

ITunes Store Slow After New Update...

After downloading the new iTunes update, the iTunes store is incredibly slow! It also took away the feature of sorting the Top 100 songs by release date. I used this feature frequently to find hot new music. Can I download one of the older versions? Someone help :/

After the update iTunes is extremly SLOW. Prior to the update I was able to rent movies with a total download time of less than one hour and begin watching it in 5 minutes without problems. After the update it tells me it will take TWO DAYS to download. Even on the apple tv downloads are that slow. At this rate it would be quicker to get a blueray disk mailed to my door from netflix!!!! Apple please fix your itune store issues
