Adobe Media Encoder Mac - Wont Resolve to Alias Files

Hi,
AME has one big problem:
Do This
1) Goto a .MOV file and make an alias of it (alt+command drag the file to i.e. desktop)
2) Now drag that into AME...
Instead of resolving to the alias it prompts the user that "This File Format is not Supported"
I think it should resolve the original movie...

Well Harm, you are now official tech support for Macs too!!! (whether you like it or not
I moved the vst plug-ins and voila, yellow export bar for the FIRST TIME in Media Encoder!!!!
So for now, I might try figuring out which is the culprit, but I think I'll just move the plug-ins whenever it comes time to export.
You have made my day! (I just wish I would have asked for help months ago!)

How do I find and install an older version of Adobe Media Encoder (Mac)?

I am currently trialing Adobe InDesign on my Mac (Snow Leopard).
I was unable to open the installed version of AME (7.0.0). I updated to 7.0.1 via this page http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=160 but AME still wouldn't open.
As I understand it AME version 7 is only compatible with Mac OS 10.7 or higher, which would explain why it isn't opening.
Is it possible to download an older version of AME that would be compatible with Max OS 10.6.8? And if so, where do I find it? (The page above appears to have only update files.)

> Is it possible to download an older version of AME that would be compatible with Max OS 10.6.8?
Yes. You can use Adobe Media Encoder CS6, which comes with such applications as InDesign CS6.

Export AVI from Adobe Media Encoder Mac

I would like to export AVI files from Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. Am I able to buy the codecs for Mac to do so?

[email protected]
VLC player does get the job done, but I have found it to be glitchy in the past.
I would recommend MPEG Streamclip much more strongly.
I trust it much more.
And free download, for Mac or PC. Just google it. (Though I have only ever used the Mac versions.)
Though, I don't understand what you mean by saying that the .avi extention seem contrary to what was said above.
Whatever "container" you use for your video file is what the extension will be. i.e. "video_file.avi"
Within that container, there will be a compression codec (of which there are numerous options) that the container used to compress the video.
That codec will not be displayed in the extension.

I know you posted over a month ago...but maybe it will still be helpful!
I do not remember the video codecs available within VLC player. Sorry.
But if you decide to follow my advice to Timoyer and use MPEG Streamclip (which I highly recommend that you do!)...
Then you can use File > Export to AVI... > and then select "Apple Component Video - YUV422".
That is an uncompressed format.
While it will be quite large, hopefully that will be what your client is looking for.
Good luck to you all!
And have a great week!

Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I open a file

Adobe Media Encoder crashes when I browse to open a file.
I have a Creative Cloud subscription.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program through the Creative Cloud service. No change.

Thanks for responding.
Yes, I am trying to utilize Photoshop CS (8.0) and I run Windows 7.1. I installed this from Adobe's Creative Cloud. The program opens, and I am able to open a Photoshop file with it, but then Windows tells me that there is a problem and is shutting down. I'm not sure would the problem might be.

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

Adobe Media Encoder Mac problem

Hi folks,
I've put off posting this for 2 months now in the hopes that I could figure it out myself by reading through the myriad of other posts on this, but I'm at the end of my efforts with no luck.
First off, system specs:
Mac Pro 2.8 GHz 8 core, 12 GB RAM, Leopard 10.5.8
Adobe Prod Premium Suite CS4 latest versions
Files: H264 1280x720 from Canon T1i, also same prob for any projects with footage from Canon HV30
Problem: same old one that's been posted a million times-
-click export and it opens media encoder, hit encode and it says "loading" for about 5 minutes, then gives the ole' "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted" error
Things I have tried or noted:
-Uninstalled, Ran CS4 clean, removed anything (prefs etc) Adobe, Reinstalled
-made sure no Red Giant demos were on the machine
-repaired permissions
I tried doing it on my Macbook Pro, and it works just fine, so the prob is specific to my mac pro
If there is any other ideas for this, please let me know, I've seen numerous suggestions for Windows, but not for mac.
One interesting thing is that Premiere crashed about a dozen times when I open it for the first time after an install, being an audio engineer, I have a ton of vst instruments on the machine, and it seemed like it would crash on initializing many of the plug-ins. Native instruments in particular were bad, but after each restart it would move on to the next plug-in. It did do this on the Macbook Pro as well though...
This is getting very frustrating as I love working with Premiere, but the only option for me has been to open the project in After Effects, and export from there... far from ideal.
Any ideas? Any other info needed? Thanks for any help!

Adobe media encoder cc will not save output file destination

Hello all,
Hopefully a simple issue here. I'm running windows 7 and just downloaded AME CC. I've tried over and over to save my output file destination in Preferences and have saved my media cache files to the same location and the saves will not take. I was able to get it to go to the drive and folder I specified ONLY when I clicked the "Match Sequence Settings" tab in the AME pop up window. My settings need to be different, so I leave the box unchecked. Anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help me out getting this simple function to work? I saw a short thread on Creative Cow dated February 2013 with the same concern from a user and I did not see a resolution at the end. I have not been able to find anything on this anywhere. Sure, I can continue to manually save each file I render in AME, but it's a big PITA. I finally was in between projects so I downloaded the CC upgrade and replaced my CS6 version and now I have this simple problem from an alleged upgrade? Help please.
Thank you.
Todd

Premiere sequences queued to AME from the Export Settings dialog won't honor AME's output path preference. Instead, they default to the last path used from Exp. Settings via Premiere. However, you should be able to get the result you want by queue-ing to AME's default path once from Premiere, which will make it Premiere's default as well.
Or, you could drag and drop your sequence from the Project panel directly into AME's queue; that will use AME's preference instead of Premiere's default path.

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.

Is Adobe Media Encoder CS4 always installed on drive c:?

Since my OS drive C: is fairly full, I installed CS4 Production Suite on drive D:. It's all there, except for Adobe Media Encoder, which is in C:\Program files (x86)\Adobe. Is this behavior unique to Vista x64 or just my PC? It hasn't caused any problems, but I was just wondering.

Thanks, but I like to keep drive C just for my OS and few other items that need to be there. I have a couple of TBs of SATA drives also installed. I just wanted to confirm that AME is always installed on Drive C;, no matter what you do.

How to install Adobe Media Encoder C6 when CC is all ready installed

Hello
I need to be able to publish flv files, but the new Adobe Media Encoder CC can't export FLV files, therefore I need to install an older version. But I can't find it anywhere. Not on Adobe.com or en the creatiev Cloud App under previous versions. Does anyone know where to find it?

I hope this link helps.
Install a previous version of any Creative Cloud application
Media Encoder CS6 is bundled with some Video apps and cannot be installed by itself. Installing Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, Flash CS6 or Prelude CS6 would install Media Encoder CS6.

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...

Published .avi from Captivate is shorter in Adobe Media Encoder

I published 8 slides from Captivate 4 to .avi video format. When I play the .avi in Windows Media Player, it works great. I'm using Adobe Media Encoder to convert it to .flv file to use in my Flash project. When I import the .avi to AME, it's shorter and the audio on the last slide is cut off. I tried inserting a duplicate slide with silent audio in Captivate to extend the duration by 10 seconds. Still, the .avi is 2:57 in length and when I import it to AME it's 2:47. It makes no difference if I extend the last silent slide to even 25 seconds.
Is this an issue with AME or with Captivate 4? How do I fix it?
Thank you!

Here's the info I can provide at this time:
Yes, it seems that this only affects .avi files published from Captivate. Other .avi files reflect the correct length when imported to AME.
Using AME CS4 4.2.0.006.
Using Captivate CS4 4.0.0.1596.
Yes, it happens with every .avi file published from Captivate. I've tried the following and still the last slide (#8) was cut off at the end including its audio:
extended last slide (#8) for more than a minute after the audio stops
extended the audio on the last slide (#8) by inserting silence for additional 30 seconds
added another slide (#9) after the last slide
added another slide (#9) after the last slide with 30 seconds of silent audio
I did find a temporary solution, however. I added a transparent object (rectangle) a few seconds after the audio ended on slide 8 and when I published to .avi, Captivate recognized the added object and published the video to include the added animation.
You may download a zipped file containing the Captivate project and the published .avi from here:

Thank you,
