Adobe Media Encoder refuses to encode for Quicktime

Dear all,
I have huge headaches with Premiere and I hope you can help me out! I have done a couple of fairly basic Premiere project (less than 5 minutes, all with jpegs, not real videos - it's for a slideshow to be projected using a video projector). Using Premiere CS4 is relatively easy but I have the following issue:
Everytime I try to enconde a project to Quicktime using AME (version 4.1.0), AME launchs itself, the project appears, ME launchs the encoding which inevitably ends up in just 2 seconds! On AME side, it appears there is no error (status bar is green) but of course, nothing was encode and no movie file (.mov) ever appears.
The thing I noticed is that if I encode to Quicktime using one of the a DV Pro preset, AME encodes without any problem but if I want to use a specific size or one of the codec not covered by DV Pro (such as .H264 or MPEG4), then the same problem inevitably arrives.
For info, I m using
- Windows Vista 64bits (Home Premium SP1) on a Intel Core i7 CPU (2.93 Mhz) with 12GB of RAM and plenty of Hard Disk space
- AME version 4.1.0 and Premiere Pro CS4 (also 4.1.0)
I would really appreciate your help
Best
Eric

Unfortunately or maybe otherwise...it's not entirely a PC world as Jim sees it because Jims world revolves around his  comfortable  "known world" of DV and I-frame media. I would suggest his clients are not as demanding as my own who have moved forward from SD and DV even if they were ever there in the first place.
I integrate my suites with professional post productions houses and they all use Macs in the processes that I require... so it becomes part of my workflow by neccessity. (FWIW : broadcast television brand commercials  shot HD on 35mm film or HD file-based media workflows)
For the record.  I am not a fan of MACs myself but what ever..I need to get the job done so I get on a do it...
I  also integrate with professional creative artists on MACs and PCs. There are no issues in this regard that can not be easily managed.
I have no problems exporting HD Qt (.mov) from my PC in AME.
There are no issues of quality or process (apart from the know "gamma thing" and I can accomodate that in my own export process).
I have no idea why you can not export to QT but if you need to... you need to ..so you need to do a few experiments to get to the base of the issue.
Could be hardware, software or operator error...

  • 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?

  • Add Metadata, Options to Open in Adobe Media Encoder for Video Files

    I was surprised to discover that some basic information about video files is not shown. For example, the duration of a QuickTime video is not shown.
    Also, there is no option to open an MOV file in Adobe Media Encoder.
    It would be nice to have this basic support for video.

  • Adobe Media Encoder for PPro CS2

    Anyone know where I can grab this update for Adobe Media Encoder CS2? Seems like all links to it are dead, and unfortuently Adobe feels the need not to host old updates to old programs, I assume to force you to later versions.
    Does anyone have the update on their PC? Any help would be much appreciated!
    See knowldge base # 330380

    Link to update is dead.

    Yes, I do not ever recall any updates/patches for anything on the Premiere side of the whole Production Studio suite - AE, AI, PS, but not PrPro or En.

  • Adobe Media Encoder for CS4 error Could not read from the source

    Hello,
    I get an error when I try to export from Premiere CS4. It doesn't matter how I export. Seems like an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated:
    - Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\ARTWHI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\extra and b roll.prproj
    - Output File: E:\Living Accused Movie Transfers\video\Cindy at table.avi

    Thank you
    Art

    When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
    Do one or both of the following solutions:
    Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Close all Adobe applications.
    In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
    Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
    Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
    Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
    Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
    Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
    Do one of the following:
    Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
    Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
    Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
    Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
    Re-install your Adobe software.

  • Adobe Media Encoder for Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

    I currently have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these issues exporting before. My timeline is less than 3 minutes long, but it does deal with multiple big files. It rendered perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export it using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually only a few seconds in!) and then crashes, so that I have to force quit. I have tried exporting it as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried creating a new project entirely and whipping together a few titles and exporting that to see if it just won't export anything at all. The new project exported just fine, however, which I suppose is good news. But yeah, my work on that other project is very important to me and I reallllly want to export it. Please help!

    Hi Jim! Thank you for your reply. I think you are right -- and that it lies in the audio somehow!
    It turns out that if I choose to only export the video, and uncheck audio, it will export very well and smoothly. That's great news for me!
    However, now I am trying to work out how to get the audio exported without issues. I actually had the idea of just playing the audio in the timeline and recording it via Stereo Mix, but my Windows 7 driver has Stereo Mix disabled, so it's back to square one. Any ideas of what I can do about the corrupted audio not exporting, which works fine when played in the timeline?

  • Adobe Media Encoder: Converting QuickTime to Flash?

    Hi Creatives and Techno-wizards!
    I'm trying to put video(s) online. They were created in Final Cut Express (QuickTime), in HD 1920x1080 format. My first attempt to encode a 5 minute video resulted in a 27Mb file (of course, I reduced the resolution to about 500 pixels wide during the encoding). But, since I'm not familiar with encoding to Flash, can someone tell me: Is 27Mb a large file to be uploading to my website (I want it to be downloadable to viewers "progressively", as opposed to true streaming). Does anyone know if I should resize when I export from Final Cut Express, and then encode from there? Will it make my files smaller? Or is it okay to do the resizing during the encoding process? Does it make any difference? Is there a preferred method/procedure/order of doing things to minimize file sizes? Any advice at all (with regard to ANY aspect of encoding to Flash) would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can create two kinds of QuickTime movies with the Export QuickTime Movie
    command—a self-contained movie or a reference movie.
    • Self-contained movie: A self-contained movie contains the video and audio media—
    _all of the data_ used to create your movie is within a single file. This single file can be
    safely and easily copied to another computer without worrying that you need other
    files to play it back.

    located in the original media files. .. .

  • How to change render resolution of After Effects project in Adobe Media Encoder for an H264 preview?

    I'd like to render a 1080i comp at half resolution or third resolution in AME to speed up render times for low-res previews. I just had a low-res H264 preview take 5 minutes to encode in AE, and 28 minutes in AME.
    This is easily accomplished in the After Effects render settings. However, the "video" option in AME seems to imply the project is encoded at that resolution, not rendered at it.
    I went into AE and changed the setting in the composition viewport to "half", but when I queue it up in AME, the "Match Source" button still indicates 1080.
    What is the correct method to get the results I want?
    I'm currently using AE CC and AME CC on Windows.

    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

  • More Than One Hour Footage Audio Rendering Issue in Adobe Media Encoder (from AE)

    Hi every one,
    I'm having a render issue when I send an After Effects composition longer than 1 hour to Adobe Media Encoder for encoding H264 files. In this case, I'm trying to render an already rendered 70 min. 23,976 fps DPX sequence paired with a corresponding ".wav" audio file into the composition and the H264 file rendered by AME plays silent for the first 10 minutes and past those 10 "silent" minutes the audio comes back normally during the last 59 min and 59 sec exactly.
    I've tryed every posible "solution" (changing the audio file from .wav to .aiff and .mp3) and assigning more ram to Adobe Media Encoder and it renders the same every single time.
    Please Help!!!!
    Oscar.

    If you can't track down the audio problems some other way you have two options. Render to a production codec in AE then compress your production master in AME or tender only your subtitles (or use dynamic link) to a lossless with alpha format in AE and marry them to the original video and audio in PPro.
    Actually, the first thing I would have tried when audio problems showed up would have been to render a production master using a visually lossless format like QuickTime JPEG 2000 and then compressed in the AME.

  • Unable to create thumbnail in Adobe Media Encoder in CS6

    I would like to create a thumbnail image in Adobe Media Encoder for all my videos.

I only see F4V, FLV, H.264, H.264 (Legacy), MP3
    What should I do to get JPEG to show up here.

  • How do I reinstall missing Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

    I need some help here ??
    When attempting to encode on Vista from Premiere 3.2 the Adobe Media Encode (AME) just goes off and hangs.
    Looked for the error log which lives at
    C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt
    Make sure you have view hidden files turned on to look for this file..
    Ok the folder "Adobe Media Encoder" is not on my machine... It looks like the installation is FUBAR.
    I check CS3 Master Collection distribution - I don't see a module for Adobe Media Encoder to reinstall.
    So my question is . How do I reinstall the "Adobe Media Encoder" for the CS3 collection ?
    Anybody have a clue as how to do this ?
    How do I reinstall the Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

    Mr Hunt...
    I my view you're a wizzard with statute more than Merlin...
    Here's what I found. Last time I shut down ProPre I was on a dual monitor.
    I tossed my laptop in the car went to 2nd location.
    Re-configured laptop for single monitor mode.
    Upon starting up ProPre hammered encoding and the resulting screen opened ...... which I could not see.
    PrePro DOES NOT sense hardware.... Dhaaaaaaaaa
    Its stays stuck in dual monitor mode !!!!!
    You need a second monitor to unstick it !!!!!
    I was unable to set it back to single mode without the 2nd monitor !!!
    Yahhoooo !!!! Its working again !!!!!
    Dhaaaaaaa

  • HLS stream cannot renew when adobe media encoder restart

    Hi,
    I used adobe media server 5.0 in Red Hat 4.1.2 and adobe meida encoder 3.2 to recording HLS stream(get ts file), there's no problem when first running(use jwplayer to view the steam), but when I disconnect adobe media encoder for some time(about 12 hours) and reconnect the encoder, I found hls stream cannot renew, always stay on the moment I disconnect the encoder.
    I know delete adobe media server old data(f4f, f4x) solve the problem, is there a way that adobe media server can renew the stream automatically?
    Thanks very much.

    If you are not concerned with your .f4f fragments (storing them), then pass "&adbe-record-mode=record" string along with your rtmp stream ID. This will erase the entire /streams/<streamid> directory and re-publish.  However, jwplayer will receive an error.. For jwplayer to cycle automatically on error, just reload the same .m3u8 below with this error function when you load the jwplayer
    jwplayer("hlsPlayer").onError(function(event) {
    jwplayer('hlsPlayer').load({file: "http://example.com/hlslive/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/liveevent.m3u8",duration: "27"}
    jwplayer('hlsPlayer').play()
