Adobe Media Encoder Problems

I am having a problem with project settings when I use acvhd files. I add the .m2ts files and select Matrox AVI 1440X1080 and all I ever get is a 720X486. I do not know whats going on. I am trying to get the file into the matrox AVI so it will playback on the Premiere Pro CS4 timeline without the impossible to edit choppy playback.
When I click the settings button I get another screen with a video window, The input shows the original 1920X1080 but the output shows 720X486, there is now ay to change it.
Working with a quad core 2.8 Ghz, 8 gb ram, Video Card is a nvidia 9500GT with 1 Mg ram. The system is robust enough for the software but Premiere cannot handle HD quality.
May be a good time to switch to Apple with FCP. Maybe the money I spend there won't be as much as it's cost me dealing with PC's.

I bought a camera that shoots in AVCHD 1920X1080 resolution. That camera costs $1100.00 and the quality blows away the $6500 cameras quality, I own both. I can import the .m2ts files yet they don't playback from the time line. Yet the software that came with the camera plays back at full screen full HD quality without any problems. I gotta say it's an Adobe issue. Because I installed Premiere CS4 and Media Encoder on a non Matrox system. No way does it work with HD.
Maybe I'll just stick to using my SD cameras because the editing software has not caught up with the rest of us.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder Problems

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on a Mac running 10.6, and I consistently encounter this problem when trying to export a Premiere project using Adobe Media Encoder.
    What does this mean? And has anyone else encountered this problem as well? I really need a fix if there is one, because I really need to be using Premiere. I have reinstalled several times, but to no avail. Help me please!

    Jim, thanks for testing.
    My concerns are about a)distribution and general b)compatibility.
    a) When videos are distributed most of the users will probably try to open the files with Windows Media Player. So it is not a good start to have fresh exported h.264 videos which won't run fine with the 'main' player on windows
    b) I am wondering if the Problems with Windows Media Player may also be a sign of a general compatibility issue of the h.264 video itself
    At least in case b) Adobe would have to look into this.
    Here is another test video:

  • Cropping .mov with Adobe Media Encoder Problem????

    I have a qt.mov that is 1920 by 1900, I needed to crop it down to 320 186. I did the conversion in Adobe Media Encoder using the same settings as the original movie. In QT the movie plays fine but when I embed it in the page and upload to the server the movie does not play as I would normally see the player then the stream and finally the movie. Any reason why this would be?
    RD

    Went and got QT pro, I see that it has the streaming option, when I exported the file I chose streaming, uploaded the finished file and it works perfect.
    thx

  • Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder.

    So initially, my problem was solved, but it stopped working again.  Same issue.  I tried installing the media encoder app, but no luck please help!
    Here's the original post:
    Hello, I'm running a macbook pro retina, and previously I was able to render video with no issue, and now this is popping up.  I've tried deleting and reinstalling photoshop, but it was not helpful. I would very much appreciate any help or guidance.  Thanks!
    Here's the error message I get:

  • 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!

  • Problem- Adobe Media Encoder Stopping Mid Queue

    I was exporting my final movie, which was about 60 minutes. It was taking a long time to render when exporting to a quicktime file, which I expected, however, the Adobe Media Encoder stopped the rendering an hour later, only rendering half before shutting down. I am exporting it as a widescreen, NTCS DV Widescreen. Could have I screwed up the format and that is why it's failing to complete the exporting??? What can I do to solve this and have it complete the export. At the end of the report is says disk is full. But I know my hard drive could not be full.

    FAT-32 is your problem. DO NOT FORMAT!!!!!
    You want Convert. That is very, very different. Back in properties, look for the Volume Label of your drive. Copy down this label exactly like it appears. Capitalization is important. Get it right.
    You will need to then use a CMD Prompt command to Convert.
    To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
    Open the Command Prompt window.
    In the command prompt window, typeconvert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
    For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format.
    Notes
    To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
    You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.
    Again - DO NOT FORMAT!
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Media Encoder: CBR bitrate problem!

    Hi!
    I'm having some problem with Adobe Media Encoder. I've edited a HD video (recorded with a Sony HDR-FX1) and created a MPEG2 file using the preset "1440 x 1080i 25 Hiqh Quality". The video file size is 7,25 GB.
    Now I want to put this video on Motionbox and Vimeo. I found on the web some settings that seems to be perfect for Motionbox and Vimeo.
    Here's the link: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/images/pcs3-h264.jpg.
    As many of you already know, Motionbox doesn't have any file size limit, while Vimeo has (1 GB). So i thought to reduce the bitrate quality for Vimeo, while using, as written in that JPG, 4 Mbps CBR Bitrate. Here's the problem: I change the bitrate (for example 1,6) and I exit the export settings panel, so that I'm back to the AME start screen. If I initaliaze the queue, under the video settings on the left, the CBR bitrate is back to 3. So it seems like I can't change the bitrate.
    I've used the same settings that are in that JPG so I can't understand what is going wrong. If I select 4 Mbps it goes back to 3 and the same happens if I select 1,6 or 2 for example. How can I fix this problem?
    Thank you so much for your help. Bye!

    Jeff,
    Off-topic, but related to your naming convention in your reply, post 4.
    Adobe has been using the "Pr" to designate Premiere for a version, or two now. I've been using "PP" for Premiere Pro, and "PE" for Premiere Elements, as I follow both fora now. Though it will take some retraining on my part, is the conventional wisdom (no pun here) that the acronym is most correctly stated as "PrP" and "PrE?" I also use PS for Photoshop, and PSE for Photoshop Elements, so it's not a matter of the characters. I just want to use the most correct acronym, for clarity in posts. What are your thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Hunt

    It may be hidden since it's a system folder. You can get to it one of two ways.
    Either: Hit start button + r to get run, then insert  (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\) without the () and press enter. *This is assuming that your username is Administrator. If the folder exists it will take you there, even if it is hidden.
    Other way: hit start button on keyboard and type in "folder options". Press enter when it shows up in the start menu search. Click on the View tab then select "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".  This should enable you to see both the AppData and Roaming folder. You may want to undo these selections otherwise you'll see files you usually don't want to see. (thumbnail caches...)
    If neither of these methods work, let me know which folders you see in this directory "C:\Users", Administrator may not the account you're currently running on.

  • 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...

  • Adobe Media Encoder Install Problem

    Hi-
    I am encountering some problems when trying to start Adobe Media Encoder. It jumps to two successive "Adobe Media Encoder" install screens (one for the exporter, one for the importer) After some loading time, it displays an error message "Installation was unsuccessful. Restarting Adobe Media Encoder will trigger the installer again. Please contact Adobe Technical Support if this problem persists." It then goes to the Adobe Media Encoder screen.I can load files, and export them, but I am unsure what is wrong that makes it complete this "install/installation unsuccessful" sequence every time I try to open the program or export in Premiere Pro.
    I have tried re installing Premier Pro and Adobe Media encoder, and it does not work. Also, I have tried updating, to no avail.
    I attached pictures of the install screen, and the error screen.
    I am currently using a student liscence of Adobe Production Premium, Windows version.
    Thank you for the help
    Sam

    Please contact Adobe Technical Support if this problem persists.
    Good advise.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 problem

    I having a ***** at Adobe
    I do have a lienced copoy  CS4 Design Premium. I down loaded premier  pro CS4 to demo it about 8 months ago and had not used it up to about 1 weeks ago. All that time Adobe Media Encoder CS4 did not work. I came back to the problem last week when I wanted to convert a video to a FLV file, did not work, I went through uninstalling and reinstalling Design Premium: reloaded parts of the the suite still did not work: went to the forums and tried every which way to get resolution nothing worked. This morning I opened up Premier  and  it world not open without serial key I was only a week into the 30 trial period. So I uninstalled premier. Reloaded the Media Encoder and guess what it worked. I am know looking at buying another product. Another thing while using the trial version I could not demo encore CS4.
    ****** off
    PS I have now uploaded the FLV to my website. I never had any problem with AME CS4 until I loaded Premier CS4

  • 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.
    FAQ: Why are some codecs and sequence presets missing from my installation of Premiere Pro?

  • Problem with Adobe Media Encoder

    When I customize a H.264 preset and then save the preset for example as (1.00 Mbps bitrate) and then start the encoding, the defeault 3Mbps bitrate replaces any changes I made thus increasing the file size far beyond my desired file size. Is this a bug?
    Also, I have noticed when I select an output directory under the preferences, AME encodes the files to the source files directory instead of the directory I have designated.
    Anyone else experiencing these problems as well?

    Yes, also see this doc for more info: http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2014/02/12/prevent-crash-on-export-with-premiere-pro-c c-adobe-media-encoder-cc/

  • Problems to Export to Adobe Media Encoder!

    Hi, I´ve a problem to export to Adobe Media Encoder!
    When in Premiere Pro CS4, I click in Files - Export - Media.. it shows a display saying: "An Adobe Media Encoder update s available for this version of Premiere Pro.."
    But I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4 to 4.21 and Media Encoder to 420! Both are installed!
    And the display message s showed yet! So I cant send the project into Media Encoder by click, just if i open Media Encoder..
    How do I solve this?
    Because before I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4, I´didnt have this boring message..
    Thanks for your help!
    Gustavo

    Gustavo,
    Though you have updated, it appears that the updater still thinks that you have not.
    The first thing that I would do is follow the suggestion in the message. An alternative would be to close PrPro, and open Bridge, then choose Help>Update from there. Not sure why updating from Bridge seems to do things better, but it does for many.
    This should do one of two things: actually do the update (maybe it only was applied partially? and clear the updater notification. I have had similar with Acrobat Pro, where it took three attempts to get the update to both complete and then to clear the notification messages.
    Now, when I go to update from Adobe, I first shut off my AV, pop-up blockers and spysweeper programs. I trust Adobe.com, so do not want anything getting in the way. One more thing to do, prior to updating is to make sure that you have the very latest Adobe Flash Player installed. More and more, Adobe's installers rely on Flash Player.
    That is all that I can think of now, other than Good Luck!
