Adobe Media Encoder FLV issue

I am posting this question here because there is no Adobe Media Encoder forum - sorry! My question is about file sizes. I created some videos in Premiere CS4. I need to convert the videos to FLV formats (they are to be used in an e-learning module that requires FLV files). However, I'm having trouble with the file sizes. At the rate it's going, I will max out our server space in no time.
To give an example, I have a 17 second video with an original frame size of around 720 x 480. When exported as a MOV file (high quality, etc.) it's about 66MB. I've tried creating the FLV straight from the Premiere project file, as well as separately, by running the MOV through Adobe Media Encoder and the results are just about the same. In either case, I can't get the file size anywhere below 1.8MB, which seems rather large for a web compressed 17 second video. The file size DOES NOT get smaller when rendering at the smaller frame size of about 300 x 220. Back when I used to use Sorenson Squeeze for web compression, changing the frame size like that would usually cut the video file size in half. Media Encoder leaves the file size the same...
I hadn't worked with video in a little while, so Adobe Media Encoder is new to me... but I asked my husband about this. He's a web developer and deals with video a lot. He said that he would take a MOV file, drop it into Flash Video Encoder and use the preset for FLV and it works great - a video that's this long should only be about a few hundred k in size (it's not a complicated/lots of transition video). Apparently Adobe Media Encoder has replaced Flash Video Encoder, so I don't have the option of trying it the other way... has anyone else run into this, and if so, do you have any tips?
Thanks so much!

I'm having a similiar issue, my file orginally is only 10sec long and 13mb *.mpg file, the same as it was when I was converting in CS4, only back then, the convertion took maybe a minute and the output file size was about 1mb or smaller, and that was keeping the 640x480 size and removing audio.  Now with CS5, the estimated output size is anywhere from 2000-3000mb for starts, remove audio and scale back other settings and I can get it down to 70mb and takes a staggering 2.5hrs to complete...for a 10sec video.  I don't know what they changed between cs4 and 5 but they screwed up big time, this is a joke.  i'm on AME ver.  5.5.1.12(64-bit) if that makes any difference.  any idea or help would be greatly appreciated, I've got about 5 of these 10sec vids to convert a month and I need to get this fixed.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Issue

    I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and when I go to File → Export → Media and put in my settings Adobe Media Encoder CS4 sends a Error Message...
    The procedure entry point
    ??0NewHandlerInitializer@ErrorManager@config@dvacore@@QAE@X
    Z could not be located in the dynamic link library dvacore.dll.
    Thats the Error Message and I tried MP4, Quicktime, H.264, and FLV / FL4 and NONE of them work!
    So I got the updates and reinstalled it and tried it again but it still broke!
    I NEED A SOLUTION!

    Hi,
    Did the update through the Adobe Media Encoder menu item succeed? If not, could you run the "Adobe Updater" program explicitly. The path is "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater6\Adobe_Updater.exe". This should search for all available updates and show a dialog box in the end. Click on 'Show Details' in the left bottom of the dialog to bring up another dialog with the list of available updates. Do you see any "Adobe Media Encoder" updates in the list? If yes, could you select those checkboxes and install updates for Adobe Media Encoder? Let me know if you see different behavior on your system.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Rendering Issues

    Ok so I am using Adobe Media Encoder version 7.2.2.29. I have been having issues with encoder for awhile now. When I go to queue my videos the encoder doesn't render the file correctly either it be like the example below where a simple imported logo into premiere looks completely different or updates I make to a AE dynamic link... These AE dynamic links update in Premiere but when rendered in the encoder it doesn't update. So I have been having to export in Premiere for each video which is wasting a lot of time.
    When exporting I am using different presets to see if that would fix the problem first a Youtube 1080p 23fps preset then a Vimeo preset still same problems. 
    What is going on how can I fix this.
    Thank you,
    Logan

    A higher quality queue doesn't work... match source hit bitrate, pro rez nothing seems to work. Also using a higher quality export doesn't fix the issue of why Adobe dynamic links aren't updating in the encoder...
    Direct export from premiere works but like I said above it is a huge waste of time. I pump out multiple videos a day with multiple re-edits so I need to work while exporting. So while it works it is not a solution that will work for my situation.
    Thank you,
    Logan

  • After Effects & Adobe Media Encoder Rendering Issue

    Hi,
    First of all,  just to give a background, I am running Windows 8 and Adobe After Effects CC. We had purchased the computer 2 weeks ago and I was working on a video and everything was fine in After Effects. I then went to render it using Adobe Media Encoder to get the H.264 file type that AE CC doesn't have anymore. AME rendered the first time but I had to make more changes. I went to render it a second time and AME crashed and my computer blue screened. Now when I go to Add compsition to media encoder the program shows the splash screen but then it crashes every time. So after some research I found that there were output settings that you can check to allow AE to render H.264. I rendered my video the first time and it worked fine. I had some mismatched audio so I had to make some changes to it again. I went to render it a second time this morning and I got an error message that said " After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing file...unable to delete existing file." This also crashed and blue screened my computer, now it won't let me render at all in either program. Are there any fixes to this problem?
    Thank You!
    Frank

    Did you re-boot? Did you try re-booting in safe mode? Did you add anything to your computer or run any updates between the first render and the time this problem started?
    Did you try creating a new comp, adding a single solid, and then rendering? If that works tell us about your source files including type and compression.
    If that fails then  make sure that you have run all the updates. Then, make sure you have not installed any 3rd party codec packs. Then, dig up the error log and look for anything you can find that starts with "unable" or "crash" and that may give you a hint.

  • Adobe Media Encoder - compression issues (.flv) cs6 vs earlier versions

    Hi all, I hope somebody can help.
    This morning I encoded from a 1080p QuickTime .mov file to a 360p .FLV file.
    I have previously used this work-flow with CS4 and CS5.5 and have had great results.
    When I attempted the same thing this morning, for the first time with CS6 Media Encoder, the .FLVs came out glitchy in places (screen shots 1 & 2 attached).
    Thinking it was a process error, I tried several different methods and all yielded the same results.
    So I returned to CS4, thinking it might be a software issue, and "hey presto" no glitches!
    All updates are present and correct from the Creative Cloud/ Adobe Application Manager, so am I missing something?
    Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Lots more encoding to be done this afternoon and would like to use CS6 ME if at all possible.
    Any help would be massively appreciated.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Quality Issues  for 4:3 FLV Files

    I am working in a 480x360 window for a FLV file. Whether I export a 60 minute presentation or a 10 second pre-roll FLV file, the rendered file quality is distorted and poor. I have done the same work in CS3, but as I changed computers, the CS4 was installed.
    With the video presentation, orginally capturing the video is set as .9 Pixel Aspect Ration, but interpreting the footage to 1.0 is also an issue.
    The quality of video that is being produced is much worse then CS3 and unuseable in most cases.
    Frame Dimensions: 480x360
    Frame Rate: Same as source. (29.97)
    Endoding: CBR
    Passes: 2
    Bitrate: 500
    Audio: Mono / 48

    A couple things:
    1) VP6 and H.264 are codecs that operate in "mod16". What that means is that they begin by dividing a video image into 16x16 blocks, followed by 8x8, 8x4, and 4x4 blocks. This makes for a more efficient encode. Your 240 dimension is fine (240 / 16 = 15), but the 515 dimension could be slightly problematic (515 / 16 = 32.1875). The codec will stretch or compress the image to fit into that dimension, and so can result in a lower quality encode. If you can, try encoding at 512x240, by cropping a couple pixels in the horizontal dimension. May not make a big difference, but it's good practice with these codecs.
    2) To me, your original encode looks like the product of Adobe's less-that-capable deinterlacing scheme. You're dealing with progressive assets and a progressive target. I'd submit that the reason your 1280x720 encode looks better is that you're using a progressive preset, with no deinterlacing necessary when exporting. One thing you could check is the field order of your original sequence setup--if it's interlaced, I'd say you have your answer. If it's progressive--well, then I'm wrong :) However, you didn't explicitly say this in your original post, but it's worth a look.
    If it is interlaced, I don't think you can change that after the sequence is started, so just create a new sequence with the proper progressive settings, and copy and paste the original sequence contents into that one. Now, when you export, there will be no need for deinterlacing.
    Anyway, that's my guess...

  • Adobe Media Encoder Unexpectedly Quits

    Hello,
    I was trying to export a flv file from CS4 today and I have been receiving an error Adobe has detected that the application adobe media encoder CS4 has Unexpectedly quit. I?m using CS4 4.1 and the matrox 4.1 beta build.
    Here are our settings:
    This was originally a CS3 project now opened in CS4. The source footage is 720p, 29.97fps, m2t files
    I was exporting them with the adobe media encoder

    I tried making a wav file and a F4V and neither of those caused Adobe Media encoder to shut down. But as soon as I try making a flv using these settings the encoder opens then comes up with this error. I would think it has something to do with my settings maybe I need to change something. What should I do and what is a F4V file??
    Thanks

    Updates.  This is becoming an emergency, I can't seem to export anything from any projects!
    Has anyone out there updated their adobe media encoders? Whenever I go to file export I get a dialogue that says there is a update available. My editing system has not been connected to the internet so I have not tried updating yet.
    We are using the Adobe 4.1 and Matrox utils 4.1beta.
    we are using a Matrox Axio LE system.
    In other tests I tried exporting from a 720p 59.94 project using m2ts and a 720x486 29.97fps SD project where the source file was a uncompressed AVI but both were unsuccessful.
    I can however open up the adobe media encoder if I chose F4V upon export. When I choose FLV the encoder opens then quits. With F4V the encoder actually opens but when I select start queue the encoder just sits there and does nothing.
    I have also just tried another test exporting from 720p 59.94pfs 1.0 PAR. to M2V which didn't work.
    The encoder actually opens this time but when I start encoding the encoder just sits there. I can see that it starts to create a file in the specified destination but never really gets going.
    I was using these settings: export Audio and Video, no multiplexing,
    720x480 Quality 5 (all the way up, Progressive frames,
    4:3
    Audio 16bit 48khz,

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converting mp4 to FLV

    Hi,
    First up why is there no forum for Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
    My issue is whith converting MP4 to flv.
    The video is added to the que.
    Problem is no video picture is shown, during the convert process.
    When I go into setting and move the play head along the timeline no video is shown.
    The video was generated using Apple's HD iMovie.
    All setting are on default.
    Can someone please help.
    Why is source video has no picture. If I do encode to flv I just get the audion
    Does Adobe have some problem with MP4 created by Apple HD Movie?
    Regards,
    Simon

    well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro  and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
    but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
    then using     keepvid.com   i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
    now it works in my flash perfectly.
    hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
    cheers

    Hello all,
    I am having an issue with Adobe Media Encoder that I am hoping to receive some help with.  I am rendering out some videos from Premiere and every time I render something larger than 1 GB, I receive this error message:

  • Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

    Hi Guys
    I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment.  It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there.  These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc.  This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
    The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
    Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
    I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
    Any help would be really gratefully received.
    Cheers
    EDIT - I have just found this online which is exactly the problem I am having! Thanks a bloody bunch Apple! 10.9.3 causing headaches for Mac Pro users | MacIssues
    Message was edited by: Alex Cameron

    Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
    Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
    Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
    What OS Win7, 64-bit
    What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
    When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
    What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
    If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
    What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
    Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
    Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
    Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
    Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

  • Adobe Media Encoder. Poor FLV Quality

    Greets,
    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder (AME) to output a CS4 Premiere Pro project at 515x240.
    I created a custom "Desktop" Premiere project setup with 515x240 and square pixels. That project previews look fine. The preview in AME looks fine. The output is horrible. No matter what I set my FLV output settings for the images and text are horribly stretched. And yes I am setting the output also for 515x240 square pixels.
    Format: FLV
    On 2 VP6
    515x240
    Frame Rate: 30fps
    VBR Two passes
    Bitrate: 1,500 (AME's default)
    Min Bitrate: 80
    Max Bitrate: 120
    Bitrate Variability: 80
    Here is an example... http://www.effectwebmedia.com/video.html

  • More Than One Hour Footage Audio Rendering Issue in Adobe Media Encoder (from AE)

    Hi every one,
    I'm having a render issue when I send an After Effects composition longer than 1 hour to Adobe Media Encoder for encoding H264 files. In this case, I'm trying to render an already rendered 70 min. 23,976 fps DPX sequence paired with a corresponding ".wav" audio file into the composition and the H264 file rendered by AME plays silent for the first 10 minutes and past those 10 "silent" minutes the audio comes back normally during the last 59 min and 59 sec exactly.
    I've tryed every posible "solution" (changing the audio file from .wav to .aiff and .mp3) and assigning more ram to Adobe Media Encoder and it renders the same every single time.
    Please Help!!!!
    Oscar.

    If you can't track down the audio problems some other way you have two options. Render to a production codec in AE then compress your production master in AME or tender only your subtitles (or use dynamic link) to a lossless with alpha format in AE and marry them to the original video and audio in PPro.
    Actually, the first thing I would have tried when audio problems showed up would have been to render a production master using a visually lossless format like QuickTime JPEG 2000 and then compressed in the AME.
