Adobe Media Encoder Project Settings

Project sttings within the program have no effect over the final output of the encode. Using Media Encoder CS4 as stand alone, I ADD ACVHD 1440 X 1080 to project window. I choose MATROX AVI in export settings with outpout 1440X1080. I do this for playback on Premeire CS4 so I don't have to render the time line and It's the only way I can playback the file without the choppy playback problem.
The exported file is always the same, 720X486 is all I get. When hitting the settings button on the screen it takes be to a video player that says export settings and I i cannot make any changes there. The input shows 1440 X 1080 yet the output always shows 720X486. I loose the HD quality with that setting. Any help out there?

Hello again
I took a look and there seems to be a generic forum for Creative Suites Windows. That would seem to be the closest match so I'll move your thread there.
I'm subscribed to this thread meaning I'll see any replies. If for some reason this turns out not to be the correct venue, (for example, you need the Mac forums for Creative Suite) please advise and I'll be happy to try and get your thread to where folks that can help you will see it.
Grab that oh Snap! handle and hang on while I whisk the thread over to the Creative Suite forum. And best of luck to you in finding a fast helpful answer!

  • 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 project status stuck on ready - won't encode

    I've tried about a million things. Re-installation of Encoder, Premiere and Quicktime, clearing and relocating media cache, changing file export type... Nothing. When I click the green start button, nothing happens. Nothing starts to encode. My files are just stuck on ready. Help plz.
    Oh... and I've got a deadline on Feb 1st to top it all off! Please help!

    Could you check a folder or file called "Presets" under a user Documents > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > 8.0?  If this is somehow corrupted, please try deleting this and relaunch AME.

  • Cineware C4D Render Fails in Adobe Media Encoder

    I'm trying to render an After Effects composition using Cineware and a very basic C4D Lite layer.
    It renders fine directly in the AE render queue, but hangs and eventually fails in Adobe Media Encoder.
    The error message is:
    Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    I'm using Windows 7, Adobe Creative Cloud.  I've opened the default TCP port 5030 in Windows Firewall & tried disabling Windows Firewall altogether.  I've tried rendering with both CUDA and software only.  I've cleared my render cache and restarted several times.  I've had no problems rendering in Media Encoder until I try to enable a Cineware layer.  It makes a sheep noise.

    Has anyone successfully rendered Cineware using Windows 7 platform ?
    Is there a particular port I should try besides the default 5030?  And do I need to set this port somewhere in Adobe Media Encoder CC settings or just under the Cineware effects settings? 
    There's no reason why this shouldn't at least be documented somewhere.  I'm using a brand new clean vanilla install of Windows 7 and Creative Cloud with Intel Core I7 + NVidia GPU.
    "Unknown Error" to me says some code was sitting in a huge "try/catch" type block with the exception not being handled.

  • Adobe Media Encoder stopped working in this project, works in others

    Adobe Media Encoder just stopped working in my current project (in PPRO CS3). I'd output several MPEG2-DVD and Windows Media Files. Then I went to make one more MPEG2-DVD file, and when I clicked OK in AME, nothing happened. It should open a window to select where I want to put the file, and a few more options. No crash, no freeze, no error messages..and no output.
    None of the AME formats work (WMF, Quicktime, etc). But other exports do work. I made my MPEG2-DVD file using Export to Encore.
    I opened another project I'm working on, and AME does work in that project.
    Back to my current project, and it still doesn't work.
    I've rebooted, and uninstalled-reinstalled PP CS3.
    Anyone fixed this?  Thanks!

    After some more playing, I discovered that the other sequences in this project do still export using AME. So I made a new sequence, copied all the media from the problem sequence into the new one, and it exports OK.  I lose fairly extensive Encore chapter marking, but that's a minor problem. No way to "cut and paste" chapter markers, I don't suppose?
    For curiosity value, if I make a duplicate of the problem sequence, all the media in the duplicate sequence has a red bar (unrendered) except for the parts that have already been rendered, which have a green bar. This is straight transferred DVCam media and shouldn't need rendering.  If I add some new video to the sequence, it gets a red bar too. Bizarre. Oh, and it won't export.
    I tried a few other tricks with the original problem sequence: delete all media, and replace with one new short clip; delete the chapter markers; shorten the work area bar to just a few seconds and try to export "work area only"; turn off tracks; deselect either audio or video in AME... nothing worked to make this sequence export.
    I also tried making a whole new project, and importing this one into it. Nothing changes - the problem sequence still wont' export, a copy of it leaves all media "unrendered..." exact same trouble as the original project. But it was while playing with this new project that I discovered that my other sequences did export, leading me back to the original project. That should have been the first or second thing I checked. Brain-dead Sunday.
    Conclusion: something corrupt in the sequence, but darned if I can figure out what. Not the media. Not the chapter markers. There's code in the sequence itself, and I guess that must be it.
    Enough time wated on this project. Thanks, all!

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4--Missing part of interface in Export Settings

    Hi,
    I have a Windows 7 operating system on a 32-bit dell computer.  When I open Adobe Media Encoder
    I click on the Add button.  Then I go to Edit->Export Settings.  I am missing some of the
    options for instance: adding cue points, parameters, and filters.  I think it has a problem with Windows 7, but I'm
    not sure.
    There should be more options.
    I put in my installation disk, but it does not allow you to just reinstall this program.
    Does anyone know why this is happening.  It works on a computer running Windows XP.

    I cannot guarantee that it is not a software issue. Sometimes Matrox is an easy "target." However, with several other Matrox users having similar issues, it does seem that Matrox might be the common element.
    One of the issues with troubleshooting Matrox issues with PrPro is that few of the normal responders here have Matrox. Many tried the cards, and most unplugged them for various reasons. Some, like me, have never used them. That kind of limits the responses here, unless a Matrox-user, who has addressed such issues successfully, drops by with some tips.
    Good luck, and please update the thread, especially if you do get a "fix." Others will benefit, and I will learn something new!

  • PProHeadless.exe has stopped working error when opening projects in Adobe Media Encoder CS6

    Hi, I recently upgraded to Adobe Cloud CS6 and am having problems with the Adobe Media Encoder CS 6 (version 6.0.1.31 64-bit).
    When I try to add Adobe Premiere projects in AME, it sometimes gives me the following error:
    PProHeadless.exe has stopped working
    I tried rebooting, and it still gives me the same error.  Sometimes the project will load, sometimes it won't.
    The Premiere projects contain a H.264 .mov file coming from my Canon T2i.  I also added an overlay logo to the bottom right of the video that I created in Adobe After Effects, which only contains text, no effects, no motion, etc.  Sometimes I also have a .wav file recorded from a Zoom H4n, but not always.  I usually edit those in Adobe Audition with the remove noise feature.
    I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I'm using an i7 with 16GB ram and an ATI 6870 video card.
    I have the LUT buddy plugin installed.
    It will give me the error the first time I try to load the project, and the connection to Dynamic Link Server will fail.  Afterwards, if I try to load the project again, even if I restart AME, it stays stuck in the Connecting to Dynamic Link server...
    Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated.

    Hi Dima,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.  Dragging the sequence from PPro to AME made AME lock up.  But your second suggestion of exporting the video directly from PPro seems to be working.  I still have 6 minutes to go, but at least it got up to 25% so far, so everything seems good.
    Thank you once again!
    (although it would be nice if I could go through AME just in case)

  • Adobe Media Encoder will not allow me to export settings

    I am trying to export the settings from Adobe Media Encoder 6 so a co-worker can use them to encode videos with the same settings I have.  However, when I click on edit, export settings is greyed out. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? If there is another way to pass on my settings I'm open to suggestions.
    Thanks in advance for your help.    

    Sorry, found it,

  • Best settings to export media to adobe media encoder

    Hi I am after some help
    what is the best settings to use to export footage to media encoder from premiere cs4 to adobe media encoder as a flash file.
    at the moment media encoder continually stops after about 10 minutes with 30 or more minutes to go.
    the footage is 3 mins long HDV and I have used after effects to key out the footage.
    I have tryed flash 8 and higher with the bit rate set at 900
    thanks Rodney

    It's pretty easy. Once installed, the Cineform codec becomes available to any video program that accepts new codecs.
    For handling HDV material Cineform products come with a program called HDLink with which you can batch-encode previously captured HDV .m2t, .mpeg, or .mov files OR capture straight to a Cineform-codec encoded .avi. The HDLink program also allows scene detection -unavailable when capturing HDV material in Premiere.
    It also creates a preset in Adobe Media Encoder which, for me, came in useful when I had an h.264 .mov that would not convert in HDLink.
    The more expensive Cineform products include an advanced rendering engine for Premiere which significantly improves handling of Cineform-codec material.

  • Adobe Media Encoder pausing rendering while working in Premiere Pro

    Hello everyone,
    So I am redering a video in Adobe Media Encoder and at the same time I am editing a new one in Premiere Pro.
    I noticed that AME is constantly pausing the rendering and did not know why. It turns out that while I'm editing a video in Premiere Pro, I am constantly pressing the space bar to start/pause the video I'm editing. While I do that, AME keeps pausing/unpausing the rendering. Somehow, pressing the space bar in PP has an effect in AME.
    I have no clue why it does that because the Premiere Pro window has the focus, not the AME one.
    Has anyone ever seen that?
    I use Windows 8 and Adobe CC.

    Hi Rallymax,
    Yes I do queue footage by having an Autowatch set up on the directories where the video is written to.  I rarely do a direct export unless testing new settings.
    Don't take this as gospel but I too had a feeling that GPU acceleration didn't happen with AME, only direct export.  Not sure where that came from, I did watch some of the recent Adobe TV Web Seminar's about new features of CC products etc, so maybe on one of those?
    I found this while trying to find out where I had seen it but it is from AMD site not Adobe so whether it's fully 100% correct I dunno:
    Adobe Media Encoder
    The Adobe Media Encoder (AME), with support for OpenCL™ and GPU acceleration, automates the production of multiple encoded versions of source files, sequences, and compositions in Premiere Pro CC. With the GPU-accelerated AME and AMD graphics technology, editors can quickly encode projects and output files for virtually any destination. AMD GPUs handle the heavy lifting, freeing the system’s CPU to perform other functions.
    I will try the same test as Jason, if I can find any AVHCD video and see what the results are.  Will be interesting.

  • Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

    Hi.
    I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character.  Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
    The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
    The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps.  I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project.  (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
    Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
    Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
    Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context.  It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
    If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps?  I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
    Thanks

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
    I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels).  I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio.  i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think).  But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
    Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
    Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
    Thanks

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Causing Jerky Playback with Speed Changes

  • Block noise in CC2014 Adobe Media Encoder Quicktime H.264 Export

    I would love some input from the community here. Perhaps someone else is having a similar issue.
    I've been wanting to make a full switch from CS6 to CC2014, but I am experiencing a host of issues that I don't experience in CS6. For one, when I export my Canon 5DMK3 DSLR timeline using Quicktime (H.264), I get an abrasive global noise all over my rendered video as if I was using a low data rate. I use the same settings in CS6 and experience no issues.
    Since YouTube compression hides these artifacts, so please download and view original file: Dropbox - RenderArtifactsQuicktimeH264.mp4
    Format: Quicktime
    Video Codec: H.264
    Quality: 100
    23.976fps
    progressive
    Use Max Render Quality
    Render at Maximum Depth
    10,000 kbps
    What I've tried:
    1) exporting at 720p and 1080p
    2) another codec (H.264 mp4 exports are clean)
    3) all combinations of the "Use Max Render Quality" and "Render at Maximum Depth" settings
    4) exporting straight from Premiere
    5) rendering with and without effects (Magic Bullet Looks, sharpening)
    6) GPU (CUDA) enabled and software only (on project and on Adobe Media Encoder)
    Custom Desktop Specs:
    Intel i7-3960X @ 3.3GHz

    GPU Driver: 340.52 (up to date)
    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    SSD OS drive
    WEstern Digital 2TB data drive
    SSD adobe cache drive
    I'm at a complete loss. What else could be contributing to this?

    Hi Mark,
    I did install the CC 2014.0.1 update and the issue remained. I had a colleague tell me that he experiences the same issue for Format= Quicktime, Codec= h.264 when he has the "limit data rate" option checked with a value. When I unchecked the limit data rate (of my standard 10,000 kbps 720p preset) I got a clean render devoid of the previously mentioned artifacts. However, it defaulted to a 70,000 kbps data rate which of course is higher than I'd like/need. For now I guess I'll be exporting .mp4 h.264, but I'm still curious why the limit data rate doesn't behave like it did in CS6.

  • Adobe Media Encoder: introducing stairs (edge artifacts)

    Adobe Media Encoder: Is it fundamentally flawed?
    When exporting Flash content to video, I noticed that Adobe Media Encoder introduces artifacts around edges that have a sharp contrast. The problem does not seem to be affected by bitrate or other settings and if I frameserve the video from Premiere out to a command line encoder, the problem does not occur, which leads me to believe that there is a big problem within Adobe Media Encoder. Most users may not notice/experience the problem if they are dealing with live action footage, but if your project contains animation (esp. Flash animation), it is a HUGE issue, if you are trying to maintain picture quality.
    (Note: I've tried exporting on 3 separate hardware setups and I've even tried reverting to CS2 -> the problem exists in all of my tests)
    Can someone else confirm the problem? (The problem is clearly there when exporting to MPEG2, Windows Media)
    How to clearly recreate the problem
    In Adobe Flash
    Create a Flash project: 1280 x 720, 24fps, Stage Color: White
    Create two symbols: - a red circle with a thin hairline black stroke
    - a larger blue circle with a thicker black stroke
    Create 2 layers on the timeline, place an instance of each symbol on the timeline on separate layers and create a motion tween for each symbol so that they move both horizontally and vertically across the screen.
    Make the animation last at least 3-4 seconds and make sure the circles are not moving too fast.
    Set opposite easing values for each circle (one with 100, the other with -100)
    Export Movie... Bitmap Sequence...24 bit color, match screen.
    In Premiere, create a new project:
    Custom Settings:
    Editing Mode: Desktop
    Timebase: 24.00 frames/second
    Frame Size: 1280 x720
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square (1.0)
    Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
    Display Format 24 fps Timecode
    Import the bitmap sequence. Select the first file in the sequence and check Numbered Stills.
    Place the Flash footage into a sequence.
    Export...Adobe Media Encoder.
    Try the following preset settings:
    - MPEG2, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
    - Windows Media, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
    - Quicktime, HDTV 720p 24

    Yeah, mp4 in HTML5 browsers is h.264 encoded - h.264 is a subset of MPEG-4 standard. More info here:
    H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    For ease of use in AME, if you look at the right side of the UI in the presets, the Web Video > YouTube presets are the ones that will encode to h.264 with the mp4 extension.
    hth,
    Joe

  • Adobe Media Encoder 4.0.0.374 - Media Offline Error when encoding

    My problem is a little urgent, so, if possible, i want a fast answer.
    I edited my video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. When it was done, i tryed to export it, in File > Export > Media (Ps. In my program, i don't have File > Export > Movie). I set my video export settings, and then accepted. The Adobe Media Encoder 4.0.0.374 window appeared, with my project in the queue list. Then, i pressed in "Encode". First, the program is slower than normally to load the file, but i think it can be that my video is too long. After load, it starts to encode. After a time, in the preview box, appear the "Media Offline" ( and never is the same footage ) image, the same of Premiere Pro CS4. After a little, a "Encoding unsucceful. Unknown Error" appears, and the encoding stops. I don't know if is a Premiere Pro or Media Encoder error, so i posted here.
    Considerations:
    Before i encode, i ever verify (and fix if necessary) if all videos of the project is linked, but ever time i reopen the project, some footages ( never the same ) are unlinked, and i have to link again.
    I tryed to encode various differents formats, like AVI, WMV or F4V, but in every time i get the error. I tryed even to export first the audio, then the video, separated, to link after, but only the audio is succeful exported.
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate, with a 4gb RAM, 1TB HD and Pentium Dual-Core 3Ghz.
    I just got to encode with succes some times before. This is the first time it occurs.
    I used the program (Premiere Pro) normally, some days ago, until 02/11. Since 03/11, it slowed. I just disabled all visual effects, disfragmented my disk, cleaned, and set the "Use more energy to more process" settings, but my program is still slow.
    If needed more considerations, ask to me.
    I just searched for similar problem, but dont got any result.
    Sorry if my english is bad, i am Braziliam.

    I have a similar problem. When I attempt to encode a list of clips, Media Encoder sometimes fails with a media offline warning. The media is just fine, nothing actually off line nor corrupted. If I elect to encode directly from Premiere Pro, the compilation proceeds normally. That's not practical when I have a list of clips and other things to do besides watch the creeping status bar.
    My temporary fix was to uncheck the "import sequences natively" option. It's a little slower using the dynamic link, but it works, and my hair can start growing again.
    This glitch appeared only with the latest update via Creative Cloud.
