Adobe Media encoder repeats clips when I import to transcode

The last two days, every time I drag a number of clips into media encoder it seems to repeat one particular clip in the job lot, instead of reading the different clips I have selected.
I have restarted and cleared the cashe. I am still having problems. When I drag a group of clips into Encoder and when I drag a clip one by one, it reads the incorrect clip for encoding, and the name refers to one clip on the list instead of lots of individual ones.
I am importing MXF files to ProRes, using OS x 10.8.5 with Media Encoder - 8.1.0.122
I have had no problems doing this in the past, as in last week, and am currently doing it with the same footage on another machine.
Has anyone had this problem at all?
Many thanks,
Danielle

I inserted different clips, and they appear as one clip repeated as below.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 hangs when adding files of varying HD resolutions.

I've seen questions similar to this related to CS4 but never explained very well, and my CS4 for mac worked fine. I am unsure if this is a new problem or a windows specific problem but here is the situation, if you need more information I will gladly provide it.
For the past week or so I have been encoding 1920x1080i mov files (h.264/aac) to 1280x720p (vp6/mp3) flvs. When I stick to that single HD format in the AMC processing que everything works great. However, when I add older HD content into the AMC que, content with non-standard presets, the program hangs. I tried to import about 15 files last night and the program just sat there all night in a '...NOT RESPONDING' state. The video's have different audio and video settings and it's little difficult to pinpoint exactly what they were. Some are 1440x1080, some are 1280x900, some have PCM audio some of mp3.
Now I temporarily resolved this issue by simply using cs4 master on my mac pro which worked great. However I have noticed a huge speed increase in CS5 64bit AMC. It takes 2-3 hours to encode 1 flash video on my mac pro (dual quad core xeon 2.9Ghz/32GB ram) with CS4. It takes ~20 minutes on my windows 7 station (single core 2 quad 3Ghz/8GB ram) with CS5.
How to replicate:
If I drop a single file into the AMC CS5 que, regardless of the resolution, frame rate, or sound codec; it will import. If I then add another file with a different resolution AMC will hang and become non-responsive. It never crashed but I can't wait 12+ hours to see if it accepted a job or not. As I said before this problem was not observed on CS4 for mac - it worked flawlessly, albeit a little slow.
Software used:
Adobe Media Encoder CS5 windows 64bit
Adobe Media Encoder CS4 mac 32bit
System specs:
Windows 7 home:
Core 2 quad 3Ghz
8GB ram
80GB SSD x25-m
nVidia Quadro 580
OSX 10.6.3:
Dual Xeon 2.99Ghz
32GB ram
4 7200 disks in 4TB raid 0
Radeon HD 2600
Matrox MAX h.264 compressor card
Any advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time

Hi Michael,
Sorry to hear you're having problems with Adobe Media Encoder. I'd like to get some more information about the problem so I can better understand your workflow, and potentially try to recreate the problem. For what it's worth, I often import files of different resolutions without any problem, so I want to find out what's different about how you're using AME.
Apologies for the long list of questions; the small details can be important.
-- After you import the first file, what else do you do in AME? Change the preset? Change the settings? Change the output destination?
-- What are the properties of the files that are causing the problem? You said it happens on "non-standard" files, but can you describe the specifications for one or more files that cause the problem? Please include file type, length, frame rate, frame dimensions, field order (if applicable), alpha mode (if applicable), and audio type and rate. If you know more the bitrate, both video and audio, that would be nice, too.
-- If any of the files are small enough, could you post a couple online that I could try on my machine?
-- How were these files generated? What application created them?
-- Where are the files stored? A local drive, a network drive, a removeable drive (USB or Firewire), etc.?
-- Which Adobe application or suite do you have installed? AME a limited set of options if you're using Flash or Web Premium compared to Master Collection, Production Premium, Premiere Pro, or After Effects.

Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event (when exporting audio)

I do alot of vj'ing... I have a good pipeline for exporting short film clips, optimized for the vj software I use.
I export photojpg at 75 quality, at 640x480, with no audio.
However, i'm now trying to export some of the same clips, but with the audio intact.
No matter what audio format and bitrate setting I choose, however, media encoder refuses to export the audio.
I've tried it with a number source videos, with various combinations of source video/audio codec combinations, and I continue to get the same error:
Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event
[..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-754]
When I unclick audio, each clip exports fine, as normal.
What gives?
-Matt Daly

I'll tryed now everything. If I choose update it tells everything is up to date. If tryed to run patch from: "http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/mediaencoder/win/7.x/AdobeMediaEncoderTrial_64-7.0.1-m ul-AdobeUpdate.zip", it runs ok but nothing has updated when I start Media Encoder again.

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 crashes when quit

OS X 10.7.4
Multiple hardware types
Adobe Media Encoder CS6 as installed from Adobe Production Premium CS6. NOTE: CS6 was installed under a different user than the new user that is having AME crash.
Issue:
Open AME. Encode a file or do not encode a file because the end result does not matter. Now quit AME (either hotkey or File --> Quit). AME then crashes. Keep in mind that no other CS6 programs are affected this way, just AME.
I ran into this problem weeks ago and found a solution that worked. The fix was to delete one of the many many folders Adobe creates in your user folder. The problem now is I cannot find that same posting where the fix was listed.
I deleted this "mystery folder" we will call it and then AME CS6 worked fine. The catch was that I had to redo the whole "Adobe ID" sign in BS and retype the serial number when I opened one of the other programs.
Any guesses as to where this folder might be so I can delete it again? I was hoping some others may have run into this same issue. I will keep looking for the fix, and post it back here if I finally find it.

Just deleting the Adobe Media Encoder folder in the given directory works just fine and this saves a lot of trouble because your settings are maintained as are your presets.
But thanks a lot for the help

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

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 hangs when "hidden" or when paused for longer than a minute

When I hide Adobe Media Encoder while it's encoding, it always hangs (ie. I can't unhide it). Also, if I pause an encode for longer than a minute, AME freezes and I have to force quit. Has this happened to anyone else and have you found a fix for this?
Mac OSX 10.9 (this issue also happened when I was on 10.8)
2 x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
56 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
Thanks

I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (could also happen with minimized applications). This would mostly likely be the problem if your issue only happens in OSX 10.9... but if it happens in OSX 10.8 then it I'm puzzled.
Did you check the Console for any error messages?
Anyways, try disabling App Nap for AME first...
Go to your Applications folder
Expand the Adobe Media Encoder CC folder
Right-click on "Adobe Media Encoder CC.app" and select Get Info
Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
You could also do the same for other Adobe applications.

Why is Adobe Media Encoder so slow when encoding videos?

I had this movie on my computer but audio was out of sync. So i threw into Adobe Premiere Pro, synced the audio, saved it. But when i opened the media encoder it said my estimated time remaining was 48 hours? Is it supposed to be this slow?
I have CS5 for both of them

Macintosh Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Hangs When Launching

I have a Mac Pro with OS 10.6.6, 20 Gb of RAM and plenty of hard drive space.
I have been using Media Encoder with no problems, but now when I launch the application, it hangs and crashes. Anyone have any idea on what I can do to fix it? I haven't installed anything new on my system, I have repaired permissions, but the app just started crashing out of the blue.
Suggestions are most welcome!

Have you installed the
recent updates?

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 freezes when trying to convert .m4v files to .mp4 files

I'm trying to convert some things I got on itunes in order to put them on my android phone. Media encoder freezes before I even start encoding though, any ideas? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.

I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
The big red arrow.
You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
Your button is not grayed out.
Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely. Good luck.

Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 - muxing independent stereo audio when i don't need it

Hi Adobe guys,
i seriously think this is a bug. Here's my problem.
Footage Format: Canon XF MPEG (mxf file extension)
Audio: 2 independent stereo channels recording different audio content on each channel left and right
Scenario 1 - export from timeline using the export media setting, i preserve the independence of my left and right channels of my audio
Scenario 2 - when i export the same footage using AME 5.5 via watch folder, it automatically mux (merges) the 2 channel audio, such that it is no longer independent of each other.
Its the exact same footage in both scenarios, and i am using the exact same preset settings. What is different in AME and the export media settings in Premiere Pro itself? Many small bugs like this is causing alot of unhappiness amongst loyal users like us.
Pls explain and offer a getaround before your next firmware upgrade comes along.
Regards
Mingsong

As Jim says, Adobe Media Encoder CS5 and later can import FLV files using the On2 VP6 video codec, not the Sorenson Spark codec.

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?
LK.

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?

How to import .mov in adobe media encoder

You can still import Flash video files into AME CC 8.x, just drag them to the Queue panel and set the Format to H.264

Adobe Media Encoder Slows Encoding Process to Snails Pace

I am having real issues when exporting from After Effects CC to Media Encoder CC or when I import directly from AME. It happens on one particular comp and visibly slows to a snails pace in the output preview at the same point every time. I have gone into the project to see if there is anything untoward but I don't see anything out of the norm. It's a 6 minute animation with some video. I have 6 projects like this, each one contains the same mix of images and video and each is approx 6 mins. These took no more than 40mins each to export through AME, this one however has taken 3hours already and is only halfway through. This is the 3rd time I've tried to export it - any advice??
One thing I did do was clear my cache and memory in order to resolve an issue where after effects was trying to replace a font that it thought was missing. Not sure if that could have caused this. Has anyone else seen or experienced this?
Macbook Pro 2.6Ghz i7
16GB Ram
500GB SSD
OS X 10.9.2

First thing to check is what is on the Timeline at about the 50% point. Do you have an odd Asset there?
Do you have a gap in the Video at about that point?
Then, do you have adequate defragmented free space on the destination HDD?
Good luck,
Hunt
