Adobe Media Encoder renders in Lossless, such as After Effects?

Adobe Media Encoder renders Lossless like After Effects too?

There are multiple codecs that can losslessly encode video. One example is the PNG video codec in a QuickTime container. Another example (which matches the After Effects output module named Lossless) is the Animation video codec in a QuickTime container.

  • After Effects & Adobe Media Encoder Rendering Issue

    Hi,
    First of all,  just to give a background, I am running Windows 8 and Adobe After Effects CC. We had purchased the computer 2 weeks ago and I was working on a video and everything was fine in After Effects. I then went to render it using Adobe Media Encoder to get the H.264 file type that AE CC doesn't have anymore. AME rendered the first time but I had to make more changes. I went to render it a second time and AME crashed and my computer blue screened. Now when I go to Add compsition to media encoder the program shows the splash screen but then it crashes every time. So after some research I found that there were output settings that you can check to allow AE to render H.264. I rendered my video the first time and it worked fine. I had some mismatched audio so I had to make some changes to it again. I went to render it a second time this morning and I got an error message that said " After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing file...unable to delete existing file." This also crashed and blue screened my computer, now it won't let me render at all in either program. Are there any fixes to this problem?
    Thank You!
    Frank

    Did you re-boot? Did you try re-booting in safe mode? Did you add anything to your computer or run any updates between the first render and the time this problem started?
    Did you try creating a new comp, adding a single solid, and then rendering? If that works tell us about your source files including type and compression.
    If that fails then  make sure that you have run all the updates. Then, make sure you have not installed any 3rd party codec packs. Then, dig up the error log and look for anything you can find that starts with "unable" or "crash" and that may give you a hint.

  • Adobe Media Encoder, rendering wrong videoparts from waitinglist

    Hi guys,
    I have a small, but pretty anoying problem.
    So I'm a normal hobby like Youtuber,
    rendering a few video series I created over night.
    So I cut und edit them in Adobe Premiere and then I press ctrl + m select 720p and put them on the waitinglist in AME.
    Because I can render them all over night like this, or I can render, while still editing other videos.
    I usually but all my video parts in one sequence in Premiere, and then cut then like in 15-20minute parts, using the In and Out markers(and then select Sequence In/Out in Rendersettings)
    But the problem I have using this method is,
    lets say I have 10 videos on the waitinglist of AME, it renders like 3x Part 2, and then part 4,5,6 and maybe 2x part 8 and so on.
    So instead of rendering them all like I marked them to, I get a few of the parts duplicated.
    And its not a problem of me marking them wrong, because its in every rendering que I do.
    And its alsways random which parts get duplicated, but i can be sure there will be a wrong part in every rendering que.
    So the only thing I can do right now is either rendering them all one by one directly in Premiere.
    Or selecting the false ones again and putting them back onto the waitinglist.
    But its so anoying.
    Especially the first time I havent´t checked them, so I uploaded them right away, and saw oops sth. went wrong.
    Does anyone have any solution to this?
    I´m using CS6
    Thanks for your help.

    When I say render, I'm referring to rendering inside of Adobe Media Encoder - unless there is something I don't know when it comes to the setting you're referring to.
    Also, yes, it has an animated logo - which I use on the other machine too, same exact animation.
    As I was writing this response, I just disabled the logo animation - it renders in 4 minutes. However, I need this animation - I'm wondering what to do. It has a 4Kx2K png animated using the basic 3D effect and HLS effect - though, this doesn't delay rendering on my other computer!??
    Hmm, thought of a fix though, I’ll render out my logo animation with a transparent channel, this way I just drag the scaled down animation on top of my videos, should improve the render time.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Rendering Issues

    Ok so I am using Adobe Media Encoder version 7.2.2.29. I have been having issues with encoder for awhile now. When I go to queue my videos the encoder doesn't render the file correctly either it be like the example below where a simple imported logo into premiere looks completely different or updates I make to a AE dynamic link... These AE dynamic links update in Premiere but when rendered in the encoder it doesn't update. So I have been having to export in Premiere for each video which is wasting a lot of time.
    When exporting I am using different presets to see if that would fix the problem first a Youtube 1080p 23fps preset then a Vimeo preset still same problems. 
    What is going on how can I fix this.
    Thank you,
    Logan

    A higher quality queue doesn't work... match source hit bitrate, pro rez nothing seems to work. Also using a higher quality export doesn't fix the issue of why Adobe dynamic links aren't updating in the encoder...
    Direct export from premiere works but like I said above it is a huge waste of time. I pump out multiple videos a day with multiple re-edits so I need to work while exporting. So while it works it is not a solution that will work for my situation.
    Thank you,
    Logan

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Watch Folders

    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I couldn't find an Adobe Media Encoder forum, and since we purchased After Effects to get Media Encoder I figured this might be a good place to start.
    Basically, we have a dedicated computer set up with Adobe Media Encoder, and we set up several watch folders on a network drive. We have several files that must be several different codecs, so Media Encoder is really an awesome solution to this problem. However, the only problem we've been running into is sometimes Media Encoder doesn't actually watch a folder. For example, we have a "For web" folder and a "For VOD" folder. The for web folder has had absolutely no problems as far as watching and pulling in goes. The "For VOD" will sometimes not pick up files, but if media encoder is closed and then reopened, it picks up all of the files in that folder, but then again, will not pick up additional files in that folder.
    The Media Encoder machine is running on Windows 7 (due to one of the codecs being Windows only), while all of the other machines in the department are macs. I have tested setting up the same system on one of our macs and we get the same problem. We are using an SMB network, but also have DAVE clients on all of our macs.
    My initial theories are that it's either: A.) Something with the network, or B.) Something on the computer interupting the network connection. One of the IT guys briefly checked out the situation, changed around some network settings, and concluded that it must be an issue within Media Encoder itself.
    Also, as a side note, I did check for updates with Adobe updater and everything is up to date.
    Any ideas would be fantastic! And sorry if I'm leaving out crucial information in order to solve our situation, I'm not sure what all would be relevant, but just let me know what you would need!
    Thank you!

    Typically, Adobe apps do not work as well in a networked environment.  You might try moving the watch folders to a local drive on the Win 7 machine and see if that makes any difference.  If it does, there's your solution.

  • "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.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 doesn't work anymore (WHY? WHAT's WRONG?)

    The system I use is Adobe Production Premium CS5.
    I have often used Adobe Media Encoder CS5 started from the export of a film sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
    On the 31st of December 2013 my computer crashed and dumped more or less at the end of a process of Adobe Media Encoder CS5. There was no complete output.
    Since then this program Adobe Media Encoder CS5 cannot start up anymore.
    It stops at the start-up saying that the program does not work anymore and that there will be looked for a solution. But then it finishes saying that it will be reported if a solution becomes available in the future.
    I have tried the following:
    - Run Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (exe) from directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
    - Stop security control AVG while not online with internet => run Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
    - Reinstalled complete Production Premium CS5 suite => same problem.
    - Removed complete directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 and then reinstalled Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 => the full directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 with contents was there after the install, but subsequent running of Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
    - Removed complete contents of D:\mediacache\database\Media Cache and D:\mediacache\Media Cache Files => same problem.
    What more can I do ??????
    I would be very grateful for a solution.
    Regards, Arie de Jong, Rotterdam

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you very much for the suggestions for a solution. First I considered
    re-installing Win 7 Pro, because I did not have a fall-back point
    predefined. So I could not try to reload a previous system environment. But
    for your information the following.
    Yesterday my son suggested that there could be some corruption in a control
    file of Adobe Media Encoder, because re-installing that program did not
    give a solution. Obviously that then would have to be a file which is not
    affected by a program re-install.
    What he then did for me is to remove directory
    Users\owner\ AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder    (he actually
    renamed it to hide that directory for Media Encoder).
    Thereafter we ran program Media Encoder from Premiere. The result was that
    a new directory ......\ Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder with proper
    control files was automatically generated and the problem was solved.
    Regards from Arie de Jong

  • Adobe Media Encoder update is available for this version

    How do I fix my problem and get the latest update installed, or get Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for not knowing modest and the available update for "Adobe Media Encoder"

    I selected run as administrator, no effect.
    I am using version 5.0.3, on win7  when i select help and update the adobe application manager reads "your aplications are all up-to-date", i would assume this is the current version.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When I add my composition to the Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it renders out incorrectly?

    Why is it that when I add my composition directly from after effects to the adobe media encoder, it renders out of the adobe media encoder incorrectly? By that I mean the video comes out a little scrambled- parts of it overlap other parts. Is this an issue with 'dynamic link'? Did I do something wrong? I'm working in CC.

    I also don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "parts of it overlap other parts"? A screen shot might help.
    What were your render settings in AME? (Format, Codec, data rate, etc.)
    What is in your AE comp? If footage, tell us what format, codec, etc. Tell us what effects were used too.
    What exact version number of AE CC are you using?

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC renders do not reflect changes to Dynamically Linked After Effects Comps

    When rendering a Premiere timeline with a dynamically linked After Effects composition, Adobe Media Encoder will sometimes use an older version of the linked composition (even after I have saved changes in the After Effects comp).
    For example, if I correct a spelling mistake on some text in After Effects, save the composition, and then add the sequence to the render queue in Premiere, the final output from media encoder still has the old spelling.
    If I do a straight export from Premiere instead of adding to render queue, the output is always correct. I've noticed this problem on several different Windows 8.1 systems.
    All versions of the software are up to date as of today.
    Why is this? Is it something to do with the disk cache in After Effects? Does media encoder have it's own cache that I need to clear?

    Hi, I've been having this same issue.  Here are some additional things I've noticed about it:
    Changes are reflected properly when played back on timeline in Pr CC 2014.
    Happens regardless if the dynamic link file was rendered or not, thus deleting the render files does not fix the issue.
    The issue can persist through saving, closing, and reopening both AE and Pr. 
    I'm using OSX 10.9.4, so this is not just a PC issue.
    Other than manually watching for every change to be reflected in the render, there is no way to know a problem has occurred.  Needless to say this can be incredibly costly.
    Please address this quickly, it's completely unacceptable that what we render out could be a different version from what we see on the timeline.
    PS Some additional things I will be testing:
    Does the issue persist through closing all CC apps, including Media Encoder.
    Does rendering directly out of Pr, i.e. not using Media Encoder, fix the issue.

  • Adobe Media Encoder - Premiere Pro SLOW Rendering

    Hi, there
    I've been using my laptop which has the specs: 2.8ghz intel core 2 extreme, 4gb DDR2 800mhz RAM, 8800m GTS 512mb.
    Now, I've been able to export my videos from Premiere Pro on that machine roughly with a 1:5 time ratio, a 1 minute video might take 5 minutes to render, and no, I'm not complaining about the 5 minutes, please read down before you click off.
    I've been exporting with these settings:
    -h.264
    -1280x720
    -3.2
    -24fps
    -2.0 - 2.3mbps VBR 2 pass
    -AAC, 128kbps, stereo, 44.1khz
    Anyway... I just installed Master Collection onto my second computer which has the specs: 2.1ghz tri-core AMD Phenom, 4GB DDR2 1066mhz RAM, 9600 GT 512mb (not to mention a faster hard drive)
    Now, with this superior machine, it is taking literally over two hours to render a ONE MINUTE video, I have no idea why, I'm using the same settings and have everything up to date.
    I've also checked my processes, all three cores are maxed out, I've even adjusted the priority which makes a noticable but little difference.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks a bunch in advance,
    Chris
