Adobe Media Encoder produce NAL PPS Units in I-frames

I faced with a problem to play HLS chunk with IPhone produced by ffmpeg from mp4 file media Adobe Encoder made.
I figured out a reason- making mpeg2ts chunk ffmpeg add delimiter NAL, PPS and SPS NALs to every I-frame. that's ok but your encoder add PPS to every I-frame samples as well. it's strange that PPS your encoder add to the samples in the same as in avcC atom. How can I fix ffmpeg to produce valid mpeg2ts stream in case I have both PPS from avcC atom and PPS in sample itself ?

any thoughts matter. Really need your help with Encoder

Adobe media encoder produced mixed-up results

I have never used the Queue button in Premiere before to batch process video output. Yesterday when I was working on a choir project where I had multiple sequences representing individual songs, I found it convenient to delay the encoding until I complete editing of all sequences. It's really a neat feature.
However, some of the resutling mpg files were messed up. They have contents that I didn't add to the project. As a matter of fact, they were from some other projects that I did before. How could AME pull in clips not intended for the said project?

This one's difficult to even begin solving without a LOT more detailed information. Start here:

Adobe Media Encoder Produces No Video -- Audio Only

I'm encoding a .mov file (it's only about 10 seconds long) to a Web 320 x 240 500kbps .f4v file, and when it's finished, the encoded file is just a black screen with audio playing.

Try encoding it to a different preset. If it changes is, maybe there's a setting in the export settings within that preset that is disabling the video channel.

Sizes In Adobe Media Encoder...

I make a PAL movie in Premiere Pro CS3 with clips from my Panasonic GS500 camera. Export to Adobe Media Encoder CS3 and it gives an output frame size (for FLV) of 1024 x 576.
I open the same sequence in Premiere Pro CS4 and Export to Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and the frame size becomes 1050 x 576.
Why the two different width sizes? I have not done any resizing or cropping.
If I do resize the video by half, so that 576 becomes 288 (keeping the proportion link checked) the size becomes 512 x 288. 512 is not half of 1050.
Also, why is there no Deinterlace button, as there was on CS3. Do we assume that the video is being deinterlaced by default? Or, as some others have complained when exporting to DVD, is the exported video remaining interlaced? This might account for why I cannot get the same FLV picture quality, using exactly the same settings, as I did with CS3.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Spok.

HI Colin,
well, i used to be very happy with SorensonSqueeze, but for more than a year now, I'm just using Compressor (indeed from FCStudio).
It's VERY handy and lets you manage your settings in a way AME can't even think of in version 8... I mean nothing extraordinary, just the way it should, with possibility to move, edit, group, duplicate, rename, describe your settings...
And as for flv encoding (at the time of CS3, which I still have on my desktop machine) by installing the Suite, it would also install the codec for Compressor.. Excellent! Which CS4 doesn't do anymore... which forces us to use this terrible AME.. That's the scandale to my humble opinion!
But ok, via Compressor, you get the settings for flv... with the deinterlace box as on the attached image. Indeed with VP6 encoder.
And no, me neither, i'm not torn up, but it would have been nice Adobe gave us the info!
Compressor does also a great job in slomo. That's quite new but impressive. And Compressor is MUCH faster than AME.. AME takes ages! For a good result, I agree.
voila...

Adobe Media Encoder Appcrash in MSVCR90.DLL upon exit

Hello folks,
I didn’t see a forum for Adobe Media Encoder (hereafter referred to as AME), but since we are using AME hand-in-hand with Premiere, I thought I would post this here to see if anyone had any insight to why this is happening. Thank you in advance if you can help me figure this out; I truly appreciate any and all assistance!
I am the computer lab manager for the visual arts department at a community college. We teach video production courses in which we capture audio and video footage into Premiere CS5 and then export that footage to AME CS5. We do this on PC hardware (Dell Optiplex 755 and 780 units) running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
The way that I configure the master image is to install all software (the Adobe Master Collection) under the administrator account, configure settings within the programs (an example, though it is not related to this, just to give you an idea as to what I do to configure the master image – since our PCs have 2 hard drives, I launch Photoshop and change the scratch disk setting to point to the second drive) and then copy the local admin profile over to the default user profile within Windows so that all students get the same settings configured the way we want it.
Now, before I copy the profile over, I test the system thoroughly to make sure that everything is working as it should. AME functions fine prior to the profile copy. However, once I copy the profile over, and I use Sysprep for this because it is the only Microsoft supported solution for profile copying in Windows 7 that I know of, everything functions perfectly except when you go to close AME, it throws this error:

I am assuming that Sysprep resets something when it copies the profile because I can log in as the Administrator during the testing phase and this does not happen. Once I sysprep and log in as Administrator again post-sysprep, this happens not only under Administrator, but under every other account that I log in as, both local and domain, and both with admin and non-admin privileges.
I ran the Adobe Updates to no avail. No matter what, this keeps happening.
This is a minor issue as everything does work, it is just that I am getting complaints from students and instructors that this is happening. Again, thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate it wholeheartedly.

In the past (I do not know if that still applies today) there were problems with the Microsoft Visual C++ libraries that could be solved by downloading and installing the relevant DLL's from the Microsoft website. Beware, there are numerous files and you have to take care to download and install the version for your OS. Adobe tried to alleviate that problem, but may not have solved all the issues. It is worth a try.

Adobe Media Encoder error when encoding: winfile.cpp-759

Mods: Please move this to the appropriate thread wasn't sure to move it to Premiere or Flash
I receive this error when trying to encode AVI to H.264 using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (64bit):
When searching through the forums, several suggestions for CS4 and current releases that I have tried are:
clearing the media cache through AME, and the folder location in %APPDATA%\Adobe\Common\
installing K-Lite Codec pack
changing the media cache files folder to a separate disk entirely
updating to the latest version (at the time of post ver 5.0.1.0)
uninstalling and re-installing AME (as an error might have occurred during updates)
verifying that the CPU has SSE support and is enabled
I expanded my search to google which gave similar errors (winfile.cpp-754, winfile.cpp-758, etc.) and a few responses were uninstalling any Nero products (don't have any burning programs on this computer - unless you count Windows)
The system that I have is:
MS Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
2x 1.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 800MHz
512MB GeForce 9600 GHz
2x 250GB HDD Mirrored
External USB 500GB HDD
Any ideas as to what the cause of this is?

The information about installing codecs packs is true. It usually does more damage to your codecs already present with software already installed on your computer, and the registry settings even after removing it. That is why it is in good practice to do full image back ups monthy, saving the latest 3 for when I utilize last resort methods such as codec packs.
Adobe CS5 software has been working fine on my computer ever since its installation July. I forgot to mention that I have successfully used Premiere Pro CS5 for editing a dozen files ranging from SD small res to HD 1080i. This also includes just using AME CS5 itself for transcoding files for supported playback on different devices. I notice a greater difference in speed when using a more up to date machine that uses a GTX 285 card for GPU playback - a lot faster and smoother.
I have a 2nd, slightly older computer, that houses an extra drive I put in there to use as a scratch disk. I occasionally add that disk to the computer that has CS5 currently installed as a scratch disk for editing video. The external USB drive is used to store the final product and my backups.
This error has only come up 1 time out of the 49 files I have encoded that usually run 10 minutes to 1.5 hours. I had 9 AVI files in the encoding queue and it always stopped at this 1 particular file. I skipped the file and encoded the rest successfully, but I want to know why it causes an error in AME because this has never happened before. I have even used it on a more up-to-date machine spec wise, thinking that there is a 1% possibility that it doesn't like my computer. The same error was produced. The 9 files that I did encode are roughly the same video and audio format - just this one is the error.
I gave the file to my friend who was supposed to analyze before I got home - I usually assist them in PC problems and built his better-than-mine PC.
Any other suggestions for this error and/or a solution?

Adobe Media Encoder wont preserve widescreen

I have a mp4 file that has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels.
When viewed in VLC it looks natural and in proportion. I simply
want to convert the .mp4 file to an .flv file for web distribution
maintaining the existing dimensions. I am attempting to do this
with Adobe Media Encoder.
The problem is that Adobe Media Encoder insists on converting
the file to a 4:3 aspect ratio with a resolution of 480x360 pixels.
Viewing the output in VLC results in a squashed out of proportion
image. The output preview in Adobe Media Encoder also looks
squashed.
When I select the option to specify the output dimensions and
manually set the resolution back to 640x360, in then adds to solid
black bars on the right and left-hand sides of the video which is
undesirable - aswell as making the video squashed. I have messed
around with every setting and have had no joy in producing the
output I require.
I have a command line version of ffmpeg which is able to
convert the video successfully (keeping the correct aspect ratio)
using the most basic command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.flv . I
don't want to resort to using ffmpeg at this point. I just spent
$1200 AU to upgrade to CS4 Design Premium and want to use the nice
GUI I just paid for :)
Any help would be appreciated. Has anyone has a similar
problem with AME CS4 (I found at least one instance on the web)?
IMO it is a bug with the software - or a limitation, please tell me
I am wrong!

I am having the same problem, with the same dimensions - 640x360, coming from a very high quality .avi, and not matter how I tweak the settings AME insists on crushing the width down to what appears to be the standard 582px. What gives? I haven't seen any answers to this yet...

Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 update forces Frame Blend

I didn't really want to repost, but I felt the title and info in my previous post were innacurate (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2576915#2576915)
In my previous post, I thought Premiere was to blame, but after a few reinstallations, I've found that the update to AME 4.2 causes the problem.
I've found that Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 forces Frame Blend, even if it has been disabled on each clip of the timeline, when the frame rate of your sequence settings differ from the frame rate of the target format.
Example: Exporting from 24fps Desktop -> MPEG2-DVD (23.976fps)
Adobe Media Encoder 4.1 does not have this behavior. I've reverted to 4.1 for the time being.
If anyone has a workaround for this, or any other info on this problem, please share.

I am having a similar problem. Is it just me or is it Adobe? I have had so many problems with Adobe Premiere CS4. It may have also been exacerbated by the fact the I updated to 4.2.1 (mostly in part to determine if another issue was resolved with this update).
I have some editing background in the Windows Movie Maker and iMovie world, and was excited to use Adobe Premiere, but I have had nothing but problems.
Everything that I am trying to do, looks really washed out, and renders the video useless.
I am trying to do what you just described, with speeding up and slowing video to match the computer actions with the person's voice. I am capturing video using CamStudio and Helix YV12 CODEC, and tried to use HuffyUV lossless compression: using DV-NTSC as the standard format.
Then I go to compose my video, and output the video, but the video is crap. It sounds like the Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder are having major problems.
I tried rendering it to Uncompressed Microsoft AVI with UYVY @ 100% quality, and tried to compare it with Windows Media at the highest quality, and it is frustrating. When I hear that Frame Blend is being applied, it seems to look worse.
I am running:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.33 GHz (which is kind of slow)
8 GB RAM, 2 SATA 1 TB Drives WD Caviar Green (a little substandard)
Windows XP 64-bit
Let me know there is another process that I am missing. I don't really want to give up on Adobe Premiere, but from a end-user standpoint, I will have to revert back to using WMM due to time constraints. I want to take full advantage of all of the editing and effects capabilities of Premiere, but can't because I can't even produce a decent export to be used by any other program (and given that every conversion will in some way affect the quality of the output, I want to reduce any intermediate steps).
Arrggh!!!

Adobe Media Encoder for AE export creates unwanted black background on load in white background

Hi. I have a seamless white website design. I added a white background to my AE file and also exported to Adobe Media Encoder with a white background, but I'm still getting a flash of black when the video loads. I have read discussions of this being a "bug" of the media encoder, but curious if anyone found a workaround. It's distracting to have the back load to black and then change to white, so I appreciate any recommendations. For now, my only idea it to re-record the video after the black flash, using a screen capture app, but this seems tedious and does not produce optimum results. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your reply!
I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

Adobe media encoder cs4 extremely slow (5 hours for 8 minute video)

I know you have seen slowencoder issues before, but I have tried everything I can to fix this and need help.
Lets start with basic info:
8 minute vieo takes over 5 hours to generate final video.
Observations: 3 processes are running most of the time, with over 2GB memory left over and available, I/O is low, CPU is at 90 to 100 percent for hours during encode.
PProHeadless.exe 48-50%
Adobe Media Encoder.exe 30-40%
ImporterProcessServer.exe can be from 30-50% CPU but not constant.
I live in San Jose, and am willng to take this laptop to your Office to debug it personally. (FYI)
CS4: 4.2.1 with all updates applied
ALL Encoder OUTPUT is set to a 128GB Solid State Drive drive so there are very low delays on I/O: SAMSUNG MMCRE28G8MXP-0VB.
This setting is in the general disk setting, media cache files, etc. All I/O is to this drive, except the project file which for some reason gets copied to temp on c drive... (no I/O there however)

Harm:
Cost: I got 2 of the Kingston 128GB SSD V100 from Costco at around 165 each (after rebate). They are on sale, and there is a 40 rebate each drive (up to 2) rebate.
Yes you are right, I did not expect improvements for Premiere pro, but I installed because I use this configuration on other systems for 1 year... and here are the results...
ALL of the data on this sytem is backed up on my 8TB server. I can loose anything here and get it back. I see the OS as just another replaceable disk.
I used the system motherboard hardware Raid 0 for C: AND... I put 3 of the 1TB drives on the motherboard hardware raid as a data disk. Data disk is ALL scratch disk, for the encoded files and cache. Source files are on the other software striped drive. Of course I loaded a fresh install and moved to Windows 7 64bit...
Overall observations:
     As you predicted encode times did not improve much, It was 15 minutes vs 17 minutes at 2.66 clock. I am unimpressed with the Intel Motherboard Raid 0. I saw the SSD was blazingly fast, but I think moving these to a RAID controll they will go faster. Each SSD drive in 200+MB/S rated.
What I do see is dramatic improvements in load times of the OS and ANY program you run. The pagefile was moved back to this raid 0 drive after benchmarks. RUNNING ANY application (adobe, microsoft, ALL are blazingly fast to load).
Example: Premiere pro CS5 from click on launch to CS5 prompting for a project name was 5.5 seconds... I would not take this out of the system for any money saved. It is amazing. Almost as good as the nvidia quadro FX 4000 Display card and the CS5.
My NEXT investment IS the RAID controller, and 6 of the Hitachi deskstar 3TB 6GPS Sata III drives to replace all my current drives. Next month or so for that.
I want components that I can keep in the system when I do replace the motherboard and CPU. I will tune this system as I have funds, and ask for help when this system no longer is viable and replace the motherboard. I will ask for the fastest motherboard and CPU combo that you can buy, and keep my 730X(treme) case and add a water cooler. As drives add 1TB a year in size, they seem to meet myneeds and I replace the old every 2 years to get the space I need.
As always your comments are spot on and I appreciate your reviews.

Adobe media encoder CS4 - alised graphics and small black bars at 480x360 for web---HELP!

I recently installed the CS4 premiere software with Adobe Media encoder. I encode video for the web.
I have been a professional web video producer for over 10 years and have been using adobe products my whole career
My issues are:
1) I can not get clean edges on my graphics when exporting a flash video (.flv or .f4v) using "field order: progressive" as it should be for web output. All my graphics are high quality and I have tryed many formats (.eps, .psd, .gif ,jpg, .pnd) but once I change the field order drop down in the encoder settings to "(none) progressive" the graphics become alised...
2) My videos which are a size of 480x360 now have small black bars at the top and bottom after encoding the original down to 480x360. I have tried to crop the video so the bar go away but the whole video get fuzzy...WTF
I have spent so many hours reading and searching trying to fix these two issued and I am thinking that I am going back to my old software and discrediting the new adobe product every chance i get!!!!!!!!!!
I was previously using premiere pro 1.5, editing video and graphics and then exporting an uncompressed .mov file and then used Flash 8 Video Encoder to render a .flv file. This produced great video with crisp graphics.
PLEASE HELP

Stan,
I was using the on2VP6 codec at data rates from 275k to 400k with good results. -- with the new CS$ endcoder i am used h.264 at 500k to 700k, video quality looks good but the graphic overlays look like alised crap. In the encoder settings the edges of the graphics get jaged when I make the field order progresive...
I am starting with DV NTSC video at 720x480.
I am going to go back to my old work flow and test it. The settings are a bit different from premiere pro 1.5 to CS4 -- in 1.5 i could export out an unconpressed .mov with square px and then bring that large file to flash media encoder to create the .flv

Using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects - 6/23/14

Very disappointed with this choice. I will definitely be seeking to uninstall this version and go back a version or two. Two many extra steps to export an mp4 now. And now we also have to wait longer for a mp4 to render and can't take advantage of the machine's hardware? You guys fighting mp4 as a standard, forcing us to an additional product, or what? I'll be sharing my extreme disappoint with this 'upgrade' with the rest of the developers at work and who just had it installed. I'm not seeing this being too popular opn social media either. Seems like you only did what was best for you.Thanks for showing us who's boss.

Not necessarily. You can render an intermediate codec with AE's render queue (thus using all of AE's power to render) and then drop that file into the Adobe Media Encoder.
This was the workflow I've always used - even when AE could encode with MP4. Why? Well, because AE sucked at MP4 encoding. You couldn't even do multipass endoding with it!
This is a useful workflow in a few ways:
1. You have an archive-quality file to come back to in the future.
2. You can use AE's full power to render.
3. You can use AME's superior encoding capabilities.
4. You can tweak your compression settings and try various encoding parameters to improve the quality while decreasing the bitrate of your product WITHOUT having to re-render the AE comp every time you try since you're working off of the intermediate file. I mean, imagine a comp with several 3d layers, depth of field, shadows from multiple lights, and 250,000 particles from Particular. What if you made an MP4 and then the client needed a smaller file size or the MP4 you made was too heavily compressed and you needed higher quality? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather only render that 18-hour monster once.
This workflow actually saves time for many people.
And, in any workflow, this produces a better product.
Again, this is what I did even when AE could encode MP4's.

They aren't fighting MP4 as a standard, in fact, when Adobe folks pop in here and answer questions, that's often their recommendation for delivery codec.

Listen, I understand your frustration. Knocking out a quick compressed file from AE for client review is handy.
However, maintaining the h.264 encoding in AE took up development time. There are only so many person-hours per week for the (relatively tiny) AE team to spend on building each version of AE.
I never liked AE's h.264 encoding - AME has always done a superior job. Since we have AME to do our encoding, I would rather the AE team focus their effort on improving AE as a compositing and motion graphics tool rather than as an encoding tool.
Again, I get the frustration. I can see where it feels like they are doing what's good for them and not us, but I think, in the long run, this way is better for us. Right now, the majority of the AE team is working on making AE faster to work with and faster to render. The sooner we get a relatively bug-free version of that, the better! (Especially for folks on Mac OSX Yosemite who can't RAM preview smoothly in any version of AE).
And at least the After Effects team has been very transparent about things - for example, this blog post talks about their reasoning: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects

Adobe Media Encoder All Video Output 'White'

Hi all,
I am attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder to export a QT h264 optimized for upload to facebook from a QT file exported 'Same as Source' from Avid MC 5.0.3, whic would be 1080i60 1920x1080. The source file playsback correctly in QT player or VLC, but even the output preview screen in AME shows only a white image.
I've also tried converting a completely different QT file created in Premiere Pro, with the same white video output issue. I've tried opening/closing AME with no luck, but hte last time I used it I didn't have any problems and was able to produce the desired end result.
Thoughts?
Thanks for your input,
Lindsay

Hi,
Yes you are correct in assuming the two software packages are on different machines. I am using Premire Pro CS5 5.0 and Avid Nitris DX MC 5.0.3 And no, I do not believe I have installed any Avid Codecs. I just followed your link, will download and do so now. I'm assuming this will fix the bug, but if not I will let you know.
Thanks for your help!

Adobe Media Encoder Lost

Hello: I use Premiere Pro 2.0. Last week I exported a video file just fine, but now my Adobe Media Encoder appears lost. No window pops up to adjust settings etc. I've tried cleaning up my system and reloading the PP 2.0 software but no luck. I can export to DVD, and to Movies, but when I click on Adobe Media Encoder nothing happens and it goes right back to my editing screen. Has this happened to anyone?
Thanks
P.s. running Vista x64

This has just happened to me.
After years of using AME to produce small files for Youtube and friends, it has dissappeared from the Export options.
I have an old XPPro/Matrox RT100 system/PremierePro2 and many projects behind me. I have the same symptons as the others.
The project is highlighted,
I have changed the name to a single word
I have tried a previosly exported clip
I have only ever had one monitor on my system,
but when I Export the timeline, the AME is in bold and available but when clicked ........... nothing happens.
I have collapsed all window to the desktop, but nothing is hiding.
The Matrox and Nero options listed alongside AME are working normally
Any ideas from anyone. Can it be accessed directly from outside PremierePro?

Adobe Media Encoder bug with Cineform .avi

I encoded an HDV m2t file to Cineform intermediate in Sony Vegas. I added that file to Adobe Media Encoder's render cue. No matter what export format I choose, AME fails to recognize the source file's pixel aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and produces a horizontally squashed image.
Even the source window incorrectly shows the file as having a PAR of 1:1. Premiere Pro CS4 won't load the source file properly. I can import it into AE CS4. From there, I exported it to the same Cineform intermediate, and then it works fine in AME.
Why can't AME and Premiere Pro recognize the proper PAR in the Vegas-encoded Cineform file?

I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a "bug". The only thing at issue (if I understand correctly) is that AME is failing to recognize the PAR of the file. AFAIK, there is no "standard" for flagging PAR in AVI files (aside from DV footage, which can have simple boolean 16x9 flag).
Adobe has their RIFF headers -- but this is by no means a standard across the entire industry. There is no indication that your file contains any PAR information whatsoever.
If you open the file in Premiere, you should be able to right-click on the clip in the Project window, go to Interpret Footage and select the correct PAR of 1.333.
The problem is that the standalone version of AME does not have an "Interpret Footage" option to override PAR assumptions for AVI files, etc. that are added to queue. This is a good idea for a feature request for future versions of AME.
