Adobe Media Encoder ruins the quality of mi video

Hello, I have a motion graphics video made in After Effects, I've rendered PNGs and import them to AE again to add final touches and when I render ir with AME with the Android Tablet 720p preset and it always make a specific section look terrible pixelated. Why is this, I even tried encoding just the PNGs alone and still does it.
I tired this peset b/c I want my file not to be that heavy. The Youtube 720 HD preset works fine but my file is over 200 MB.
How could I make the Android tablet peset work or get a lower encoded file?
Thank you

NO!
An H.264 is a bad choice for an intermediate file. You don't want to introduce compression multiple times!

I don't know how to choose a PNG codec. Is it a PNG secuence?
Choose QuickTime as your render format in the AE Render Queue. Then choose PNG as the codec. A decent alternative is the Photo-JPEG codec; it's a bit smaller in file size. While Photo-JPEG isn't technically lossless, it is visually lossless at high quality settings and is good for most intermediate uses.
Both of these options are technically image sequences in a QuickTime container. The big benefit of this over rendering an actual image sequence is that it behaves like a video file and you get audio and not just pictures.

Adobe Media Encoder: Audio won't export with video

I am trying to convert an AVCHD video for viewing on my iPad 3. I use Adobe Media Encoder and select the iPad 2 settings (1920x1080) and it exports the video perfect, but no audio. I have "Export Audio" checked off. I tried it with 5 other settings and it just wont include the audio. Any ideas?

Seems random people are running in to this, so hopefully this solution will be found by whomever's looking.
If you're exporting video files from Final Cut Pro as .mov, and then trying to convert said .mov to an .mp4 using Adobe Media Encoder and are losing audio even though you're multiplexing, try this...
Make sure that you export only a 2-channel audio track from FCP. When I export from FCP, I split my audio into various tracks by default. Great for making master clips, but problematic if uploading to YouTube or doing further encoding in Adobe Media Encoder. Like YouTube, if you have more than 2 tracks of audio, Media Encoder seems to get confused and ignores all audio tracks. Combine all audio into a 2-channel stereo track and see if that solves the problem.
Regardless of editing program, see if reducing number of audio channels from source clip solves problem.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 does not preview video in Lion 10.7.3

In response to a question in the Adobe Forums about this [ http://forums.adobe.com/message/4302817#4302817 ], Adobe said:
Apple changed something in 10.7.3 and we thought we worked with them to find all the fall out. This one slipped through. We will work with Apple to determine how we can address this.
Are there any updates on when this will be fixed? Not being able to preview video in AME5.5/MacOS 10.7.3 is a serious bug. I have to go back to an earlier version of AME on a Windows machine to encode FLVs.

Hello,
I have Adobe Media Encoder CS4 installed on my computer and I'm trying to convert a .mov video into a format that can be edited on windows movie maker and when I convert the video it converts the audio just fine, but there is only a black screen. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

Adobe Media Encoder cannot open, cannot export any video.

I'll keep it short, Adobe Media Encoder crashes every single time I open it.
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6617/entrypointnotfound.png
Tried reinstalling it, no success.
Any idea how to fix this? Because reinstalling does just squat.
Adobe Premiere Pro also crashes if I try to open the Export dialogue.
I wish they kept the exporting method of CS3, adding another program to the exporting process just complicates things...

Remarkable...
Oddly enough, the solution was to run Adobe Updater and, well, update!
Sorry for wasting your time.

Premiere is ruining the quality of my videos. How do I fix the problem in my program?

My original root video files are beautiful HD BUT when I import them into Premiere Pro CS5.5 the quality drops tremendously. I have even exported the video to see if it was only the preview screen. That video was jumpy and moving like crazy when my original files were still non-moving frames. I am working on a Mac. Can you help me understand where this problem is coming from. It just recently started. I am working in a professional studio and need to know how to fix this ASAP.
Thanks!

Help! I can no longer choose Adobe Media Encoder when trying to Render a Video.

When I try to Render a Video, only the JPG option is available, but I need to render a Quicktime.
Most likely related is a new error I receive when launching Photoshop CS6 Extended: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." This dialog box has an OK button. Once i click this, it opens no problem. Had been ignoring this until today when I couldn't render my video.
I have not changed anything with Photoshop so not sure why this is happening now, when it didn't use to before.
Please help!

Sorry, of course you would need that. I'm running Windows 7 Professional and have Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended for 64-bit. PS version number is 13.0.1 x64.

Adobe Media Encoder wont preserve widescreen

I have a mp4 file that has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels.
When viewed in VLC it looks natural and in proportion. I simply
want to convert the .mp4 file to an .flv file for web distribution
maintaining the existing dimensions. I am attempting to do this
with Adobe Media Encoder.
The problem is that Adobe Media Encoder insists on converting
the file to a 4:3 aspect ratio with a resolution of 480x360 pixels.
Viewing the output in VLC results in a squashed out of proportion
image. The output preview in Adobe Media Encoder also looks
squashed.
When I select the option to specify the output dimensions and
manually set the resolution back to 640x360, in then adds to solid
black bars on the right and left-hand sides of the video which is
undesirable - aswell as making the video squashed. I have messed
around with every setting and have had no joy in producing the
output I require.
I have a command line version of ffmpeg which is able to
convert the video successfully (keeping the correct aspect ratio)
using the most basic command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.flv . I
don't want to resort to using ffmpeg at this point. I just spent
$1200 AU to upgrade to CS4 Design Premium and want to use the nice
GUI I just paid for :)
Any help would be appreciated. Has anyone has a similar
problem with AME CS4 (I found at least one instance on the web)?
IMO it is a bug with the software - or a limitation, please tell me
I am wrong!

I am having the same problem, with the same dimensions - 640x360, coming from a very high quality .avi, and not matter how I tweak the settings AME insists on crushing the width down to what appears to be the standard 582px. What gives? I haven't seen any answers to this yet...

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 - Random Coding Interrupts?

Greetings all - I've been a long time reader to this forum and thought I would bring a recent issue to the brilliant guys that Adobe seems to attract.
First the details:
Win 7 64bit
AMD Athlon X2 250
ATI Radeon 5770 (1GB GDDR5)
3 gig RAM
Standard issue WD hard drives, 7200RPM
Masters Suite CS4 (yes, its legal)
All the latest updates downloaded and installed as of 3/13/10
Project details:
Shot in 60i, training films, very cut and dry. Using Magic Bullet color correction, no other third party programs. All project files housed on a Western Digital external eSata drive, brand spankin new.
Timelines are done, and I am exporting to Adobe Media Encoder, using the presets MPEG-2 DVD and NTSC Prog Widescreen. I hit Start Queue, and things fire right up. At a seemingly random time, the coding just STOPS. No errors, no nothing. It just stops. I open a Windows Explorer window to verify that the drive is still available, and it is - I can play video off of it. AME doesn't crash, either - I can still select menu options, etc. Occasionally I get this error, but not all the time:
- Source File: C:\Users\REDROO~1\AppData\Local\Temp\(removed) BOH_33.prproj
- Output File: I:\(removed)\Renders\Chapter 6a_1.m2v

My RAM does seem to be pretty maxed, and occasionally Windows alerts me that I have low memory available, but this should not be too much of an issue, correct?
I'm on a tight deadline (like most professionals) and have other projects waiting, but I'm seriously STUCK. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Red Root Pro
"Pools are great for holdin water..."

I do have a 64 bit OS - Win 7. The RAM does provide a noticable difference in performance - things are much more "snappy" now, which I'm enjoying, but hasn't eliminated my problem.
The encoder does not stop at the same point, it seems to be quite random. I can view the files that I've exported (up until the point they cut off) and there's nothing going on in the clip that would be any sort of red flag - in other words, it is not stopping the coding at a point where a new color correction or title is being introduced, it had all happened previously. This is my first large project on CS4, and I don't have anything else to export at the moment!
I'm not running premiere in multi-monitor mode: I've got a 24" widescreen monitor that is my sole monitor.
I have COMBED the interwebs trying to find a resolution to this issue, and I am no where... I'm currently installing CS4 on a XP machine that I have that is pretty robust, and am going to try encoding on that, just to see if I get a different result.
Any suggestions at all would be MOST appreciated!
Thanks!

What has happend to Adobe Media Encoder in CS4?

I have been making short (5min to 10min) movies for the web for several years. I have used Premiere Pro CS3 and exported to FLV using the CS3 Adobe Media Encoder. The results have been excellent using 800kb/s at 25fps.
I then upgraded to Premiere Pro CS4 but cannot get anywhere near the same quality out of the new Adobe Media Encoder. I have tried many settings, including 2-pass and/or VBR as well as Single Pass CBR. What ever I try the resulting video quality is poorer than from CS3.
For the moment I am sticking with CS3 until I can find a solution. I hope I have not wasted my money on the upgrade.
Can anyone help?
Spok.

I have found in my testing that the Flash encoding options and the results are far superior to anything I ever got out of previous versions of this option in PPro CS3 and v2.0.
That being said, I always use Sorenson Squeeze. Wish Adobe could match the quality I get in Sorenson. It's closer than before, but the file sizes are still much bigger in AME and the quality is noticeably lower than what Squeeze can deliver.

Adobe Media Encoder FLV issue

I am posting this question here because there is no Adobe Media Encoder forum - sorry! My question is about file sizes. I created some videos in Premiere CS4. I need to convert the videos to FLV formats (they are to be used in an e-learning module that requires FLV files). However, I'm having trouble with the file sizes. At the rate it's going, I will max out our server space in no time.
To give an example, I have a 17 second video with an original frame size of around 720 x 480. When exported as a MOV file (high quality, etc.) it's about 66MB. I've tried creating the FLV straight from the Premiere project file, as well as separately, by running the MOV through Adobe Media Encoder and the results are just about the same. In either case, I can't get the file size anywhere below 1.8MB, which seems rather large for a web compressed 17 second video. The file size DOES NOT get smaller when rendering at the smaller frame size of about 300 x 220. Back when I used to use Sorenson Squeeze for web compression, changing the frame size like that would usually cut the video file size in half. Media Encoder leaves the file size the same...
I hadn't worked with video in a little while, so Adobe Media Encoder is new to me... but I asked my husband about this. He's a web developer and deals with video a lot. He said that he would take a MOV file, drop it into Flash Video Encoder and use the preset for FLV and it works great - a video that's this long should only be about a few hundred k in size (it's not a complicated/lots of transition video). Apparently Adobe Media Encoder has replaced Flash Video Encoder, so I don't have the option of trying it the other way... has anyone else run into this, and if so, do you have any tips?
Thanks so much!

I'm having a similiar issue, my file orginally is only 10sec long and 13mb *.mpg file, the same as it was when I was converting in CS4, only back then, the convertion took maybe a minute and the output file size was about 1mb or smaller, and that was keeping the 640x480 size and removing audio. Now with CS5, the estimated output size is anywhere from 2000-3000mb for starts, remove audio and scale back other settings and I can get it down to 70mb and takes a staggering 2.5hrs to complete...for a 10sec video. I don't know what they changed between cs4 and 5 but they screwed up big time, this is a joke. i'm on AME ver. 5.5.1.12(64-bit) if that makes any difference. any idea or help would be greatly appreciated, I've got about 5 of these 10sec vids to convert a month and I need to get this fixed.

Adobe Media Encoder Not Working - Please help

Hi,
Whenever I try and export a video in premiere pro it makes no difference what settings I choose in the Adobe Media Encoder as the video always comes out the same size. When I first tried it I exported it as a 400kbps flash file, but that was taking too long to buffer, so I want to reduce the kpbs. I adjust the bitrate in the encoder, save the settings and everything looks like it's working but no matter what I do the video always comes out the same size. I have tried opening and closing Premiere Pro, even exporting the video as avi and then bringing it back into premiere pro to encode but no joy.
Also, in the encoder it always says "estimated file size 35mb or so but comes out the other end about 10 times that.
Its getting really, really annoying so any help would be very much appreciated.
A

Hi, many thanks for your replies.
The work area that I wish to export is 15 minutes and 38 seconds so relatively short.
I always let it finish encoding and they are all around 250MBs when this is finished.
These are the steps I am taking:
1. Menu>Export>Adobe Encoder
2. Change setting to custom and set the bit rate at 300 kpbs, Framerate 25, Keyframe interval 1, Codec On2 VP6, Audio 32kbps Mono
3. I then save this preset
4. I then click the Deinterlace button on the Output tab
5. I then click OK and save it to my external hardrive
6. Once it is finished encoding - whatever settings I have selected - it always comes out around 250 MBs which is far too big as it takes ages to buffer
If you can help you are a lifesaver!
Thanks
