Adobe Media Encoder Queue

Is it possible to add to the queue to another device, on our local network, with Adobe Media Encoder from Premiere?  (CS6)
The thought is to queue jobs to a specific server which has a superior hardware setup.
Thanks!

I wouldn't say it is "futile" to mention here, merely "less effective". We come to the forums as often as we can, but we don't see every comment/post. If you want to make a feature request that we will definitely see, please do so here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
FWIW, this isn't the first time we've heard this request and I'm sure it won't be the last. If there are features you guys want to see, please speak up through the form I linked. We put it there for a reason.

  • "Add to Adobe Media Encoder queue" option very slow

    Hello,
    The new "add to Adobe Media Encoder queue" directly from After Effects is great, but it is sooooo much slower than encoding directly from Adobe Media Encoder.
    My comp is very simple : it's a 90 min. length video that I'm trying to convert from 24 to 25 frames. I need a MPEG2 export for DVD, so I can't use AE because there're no option to export to MPEG2 files in AE.
    AME announced 10 hours of encoding, but after 5 hours it was only at a third of completion. So I rendered the movie in DNxHD, then encoded in AME : 1 hour for the DNxHD file, and 4 hours for the MPEG2. Much faster!
    I run After Effects CC (12.1.0.168) and AME CC (7.1.0.74) on a windows 7 system with i5 processor and 8go of RAM.
    Anybody else encoutered this issue?

    As for the higher encoding time of exporting to AME frome AE, do you have any clue ?
    Have you applied any effects to the footage in your After Effects comp? Are you using time remapping or the Time Warp effect? That will slow down the encode significantly. Also, what is the format of your source footage?
    Mind that, depending on what you're asking After Effects to render, encoding a comp via AME may not be as fast as using the Render Queue in After Effects. Feeding frames to AME via Dynamic Link incurs some memory overhead and limitations; for example After Effects can not render multiple frames simultaneously on different processors for Dynamic Link encodes.
    If I were you, I would try to solve the problems with AME transcoding your footage. You should bring the issue to the AME forum.  If you're fully committed to not using AME, I recommend using Premiere Pro, not After Effects, for this type of job.
    Regardless of all the above, I agree with Rick: you shouldn't need to transcode 24fps footage to 25fps for playback from DVD. DVD players will do that frame rate translation for you at playback time. But if your footage is not PAL dimensions (720x576), a DVD player won't necessarily convert the frame size, so transcoding at least the frame size is recommended. Bottom line: I would let your DVD authoring software (Encore?) handle the original file; it should do any conversions necessary when you set the DVD format to PAL.

  • Cannot find "Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue"

    I just started in AE, and I've got a pretty good grasp on it from all the tutorials out there.
    But I hate the native rendering system in AE, I'd rather use Media Encoder like I have been for Premiere Pro.
    In the Adobe Tutorials, it says Comp > Add To Adobe Media...  but I don't have that option even available. I'm using Adobe After Affects CS6. This wasn't removed in CS6 Was it?

    In After Effects CS6, even though the Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue command isn't present, you can add your composition to AME by other methods. Either use the File > Add command inside AME, or drag and drop your composition from After Effects to AME. Make sure to save your project first.

  • "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue" Missing

    Anyone know why my version of AE CS6 doesn't have the option "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue" ? http://t.co/UFTfFXN8VL

    The Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue command is new in After Effects CC; it does not exist in After Effects CS6 or earlier versions. The command is available under both the File > Export and Composition menus. The keyboard shortcut is CTRL+Alt+M (Windows) or CMD+Opt+M (Mac).
    To add an AE comp to the AME Queue in CS6, you can do any of the following (which also work in AE and AME CC):
    Drag one or more comps from the AE Project panel to the AME Queue panel. (Save your project first.)
    Drag the AE project file from the desktop into the AME Queue panel. Choose a single comp and click OK.
    In AME, open the Add Source dialog: choose File > Add Source OR click the Add Source (plus sign) button in the Queue panel OR double-click in the empty area of the AME Queue panel. Choose the AE project file, click Open, then choose a single comp and click OK.
    In AME, choose File > Add After Effects Composition. Choose the AE project file on the left side of the dialog, then choose one or more comps on the right side.

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder with After Effects and ExtendScript

    Hi,
    I'm trying to automate the process of encoding a video using the Adobe Media Encoder. The project I'm working on includes allowing a user to upload a video and having that video then be encoded in different formats. I'm very new to After Effects and ExtendScript, but the two ways I see of doing this are:
    1) Use ExtendScript to fire the Adobe Media Encoder through After Effects, using the 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue' function. I'm not sure if this is possible or not.
    2) Bypass After Effects all together and use the 'watch folder' function in Adobe Media Encoder and upload the files directly to that folder.
    I'd prefer to go route 1, if that's possible, but I'm not sure it is. I was thinking that I could write a script to work with Adobe Media Encoder to encode a given video, but from what I've read, ExtendScript isn't currently supported by Adobe Media Encoder? This is true? What would be the best way to go about accomplishing this?
    Thanks.

    I think you will have a much easier time just using option 2. I have to ask, why do you want the files to go through After Effects anyway? If you are just taking a file and converting it to ## different formats...the watch folder setup in AME would be super easy to setup.
    All you need to do is ensure the user submitted files end up in a certain directory -- make that folder your watch folder and create a second folder within that one called 'encoded' or something along those lines. That way as long as AME is online and watch folders are active....you won't have to do a thing.

  • Adobe Media Encoder changes dimensions

    In After Effects I add my 480x320 composition to  Adobe Media Encoder Queue. Then in AME I keep the default settings (H.264, Match Source - High bitrate).
    It seems to me I should end up with a 480x320 video, but the result is 436x320. What am I missing?
    After Effects CC, Adobe Media Encoder CC

    Try this. Render your project using the Render Cue to something like Jpeg Quicktime at best quality. Check the size.
    Bring the footage into the AME and edit the H.264 frame size and frame rate to 480 X 320. Render a test and check the footage size by opening it in QT or your windows media player and check the frame size using the info or movie info window.
    If you get different size than your encoded with h.264 then tell us more about your project.
    BTW 720 X 480 is a rectangular pixel frame size for either widescreen or 4:3 SD video. What you got was the square pixel equivalent which is what you want for web delivery.
    Come to think of it, you should also check the PAR of your comp. If it is not square pixels then you're doing something wrong. The only time you should ever use non square pixels is if you are rendering specifically for SD TV delivery or rendering back to a camera acquisition format that does not use square pixels. I'll bet the PAR is your problem.

  • Script: add to adobe media encoder

    Hello guys!
    First of all congrats about the new features, and the badass look of After Effects. I really enjoy it!
    But I'm really disappointed to see that the h264 render function is gone. That really destroyed my workflow   boom!
    Because I have a lot of jobs for an event hall, where I'm doing very often 360 degrees projection mappings, and the global resolution there is around 26 000 px width. What we usually do, because we're using watchout as playback system and handling all the projectors, is splitting h264 movies to theirs maximum width resolution. The things is that for example for an event we have around 20 - 30 animations, and 1 animation is split in 6 movies.. What we usually did -  we wrote a small script which splits automatically the movie into 6, pre-compose them all, align them all  and renders all the videos with predefined h264 settings. So .... my question now is.. how can I modify my script and set it to send all the pre-composed, resized, aligned, new comps to Adobe Media Encoder and use a predefined h264 render setting? I couldn't find anywhere more info about the scripting bridge between AE and Media Encoder.
    Cheers,
    Marin
    PS: I know that we can use Final Cut Pro or Motion to get more resolution from the h264.. but it's kind of workflow that I used to work.. everything happens in one application.. and no annoying hundred times save as, render as etc

    Hi Marin,
    It's true that it's a pain to handle the encoding of h.264 outside of AE.  You can write a script that calls the app.executeCommand() function and passes in the code that invokes the "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue..." found under AE's Composition menu.  The correct, numerical, code for that command is 3800.  So you would just iterate through the comps you wanted and then open them in the main viewer using the .openInView() method which brings them into focus so-to-speak.  Once it's open you can then send the comp to AME with app.executeCommand(3800).  On the AME side, you would have to make a default template for the render output settings you would want.  When your script adds a comp to the AME queue it will take those settings. 
    Now, you could do all that, but have you seen AEmpeg that aescripts posted yesterday?  It allows you to render to 100s of codecs using ffmpeg right from AE.  While it costs some money, at least it will open up the door to a streamlined workflow and a variety of codecs that you might need.

  • Adobe Media Encoder not launching when I clicked queue in Export Media

    Hi guys,
    I have been trying for about 3 weeks now trying to render my work using Adobe Media Encoder but it just won't launch as mentioend in my subject line. Upon clicking on queue, the animation showing "preparing data for export" and "exporting data" appeared and disappeared and then nothing happens. Resuming to work on my project in Premiere Pro becomes impossible and a semi-transparent white screen appears over Premiere Pro and it hangs with a message from Windows 7 appearing saying that Premiere Pro has stopped responding.
    Here are a few things that I have tried:
    Updating all of my softwares included in the Production Premium Suite CS5.5
    Deleting all files in the folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\5.5
    Pressing Ctrl + Alt +Shift and launching Premiere Pro
    Pressing Ctrl + Alt +Shift and launching Adobe Media Encoder
    Opening sequence in Adobe Media Encoder to try to render
    Called up Adobe Asia Pacific only to be told that I will charged something like USD$39 if they were to help me
    Disabling Mercury Engine Playback capability
    The only work around I'm doing now is to copy the files to another computer and rendering from there.
    Can anyone else suggest another way or point me in the right direction please?
    My com's specs are as follow:
    Windows 7 Premium 64-bit Operating System
    16Gb RAM
    Intel Core i7 CPU [email protected]
    System type: 64-bit Operating System
    Display Adapter: nVidia GeForce GTX560Ti
    Many thanks people.

    The X58 platform uses triple channel memory mode if you use 3 or 6 memory sticks, but if you use 4 slots, memory will only be used in single or dual channel mode, depending on which slots are occupied. Amount of memory has more impact than the mode used, but you may get better performance from 24 GB (6 x 4 GB).
    However, I don't think that will solve your issue. Having only two disks is minimum. Adding a disk can certainly help, see Adobe Forums: Generic Guideline for Disk Setup
    Have you turned of indexing and compression on both disks, have you uninstalled the sidebar, MSN and games? Have you disabled unneeded services, etc.?
    It says Vista but also applies to Win7: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista...
    DSLR material is usually HD, but .VOB files are SD, so there is a lot of scaling going on when exporting. Make sure you have enabled hardware MPE. Also have a look at Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5

  • Can't export (queue) out of ppro into adobe media encoder after update

    i just updated everything (cuda, nvidia, os 10.8.2, 6.0.3) and now i can't export from ppro into adobe media encoder.  as soon as i export out with any preset across multiple projects and hit play, i get the sheep sound almost immediately.  before this gets put in the AME discussion queue consider that AME works fine either when importing an AE composition etc.  so it seems to be premiere related.  thanks!

    Actually I'd recommend uinstalling all the adobe software on your PC if possible. Because truthfully if you have a decently fast internet connection or you have the installer for the suite on your system it really doesn't take that long to do a complete install. Plus when you do a complete install it's much more likely to fix the issue plus then you can use the Adobe CS cleaner tool which makes your odds for success much higher so that is what I'd recommend. If you follow the instructions from this link everything will go smoothly.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    I know in the past I have fallen into the trap of troubleshooting something for a few days, only to end up uninstalling then using the adobe CS cleaner tool, then reinstalling and then BAM everything was now fixed lol...
    Then I always ended up feeling silly for spending so much time on it instead of just doing a fresh install. Although I had no way of knowing that to begin with unfortunately. Hindsight is 20/20 most of the time.
    However you can technically try uninstalling Premiere by itself if you want to try that first. If my memory serves me correctly when you uninstall Premiere it will uninstall Encore and AME as well.

  • Queuing from Premiere Pro to Adobe Media Encoder no longer working? CS6

    Hi there,
    Just very recently adobe media encoder has stopped accepting que's from premiere. I choose export in premiere, setup the export details and hit que, adobe media encoder launches, but then it flashes once (like disappears reappears, very quickly) and then it just simply does nothing. No item appears in the que. I have tried opening the premiere sequence directly from adobe media encoder but it does nothing either. If I drag the premiere project directly onto a preset in adobe media encoder, it crashes every time. (though not sure if it would of done this previous to my problem arising)
    Anyway, very frustrating as I usually work on a different project whilst media encoder is rendering something out. Now i'm stuck with huge down times as I wait till the render is finished.
    Recently updated to Mac OSX 10.8.3 - I think this is when the problem began.
    Just updated the CUDA driver to 5.0.45 but this has not changed anything.
    Working on a Mac Pro 5,1, 2x2.4Ghz 24GB RAM, EVGA GTX 660 FTW,

    Some suggestions and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

  • 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 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.

  • New PC, downloaded CC 2014. Flash not showing up as option to rip in Adobe Media Encoder or in After Effects. Help?

    Why is .flv not an option in Adobe Media Encoder or Adobe After Effects?
    Also, when Adobe Captivate converts the video it looses the Alpha channel.
    Help

    Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down. It would be helpful to provide some kind of list of what comp settings carry over into AME from After Effects. Is it essentially everything that is enabled in the Timeline? (I know that motion blur settings do.)
    I'll put this in a feature request, but yes, we need the other half of After Effects Render Queue in AME in order for AME to be a good replacement for rendering from AE. I'll give you my thoughts on why Render Settings are essential before you would actually want to render with AME instead of doing so because you have to (either because you want to render in the background, or need a codec that has been removed from AE.)
    1. Speed: Simply applying a Render Settings preset is much faster than manually setting motion blur, frame blending, work area, etc.
    2. Reliability: Not being able to apply a Render Settings preset at the time of render is a recipe for missing a crucial setting buried in a comp, then having to redo a render and wasting time.
    3. Features: As noted above, there is no way to approximate Render Queue's ability to change resolutions at render, which results in a lot of wasted time when that feature is needed.
    Render Settings I think are crucial to making AME rendering worthwhile for AE users:
    1. Rendering resolution
    2. Work Area/Entire Composition toggle
    3. Field Rendering (wait, does this mean AME can't currently render to fields?)
    4. And PRESET ability these settings, so I'm not doing them manually every time.
    I realize that your team clearly doesn't spend the same amount of time I do making low res H264 previews and sending final files out in H264 format, so you don't appreciate the impact of the changes you made. Moving to AME for that stuff is a real inconvenience, but implementing the settings above could help soften the blow.
    Thanks,
    Jerry
