Adobe Media Encoder slow export on Macbook pro

I've got a Macbook Pro(mid 2012, Quadcore, nVidia 620/1GB vRam, and 8 GB of system Ram).  Takes roughly 8-10 times the sequence length to render out video to a MPEG2-DVD file.  I AM using Lumetri Looks in both cases but the Macbook Pro seems slow.  Checked the Activity monitor and using about 2.5 GB of Ram and only using about 5-10% of CPU.
Why isn't the Macbook Pro system not throwing more resources toward the render? (And no, nothing else is eating up the CPU either.)

If you're up for some testing, take a look at this.  I'd love to know what your results are.

  • Does Adobe Media Encoder save/export in swf format?

    Does Adobe Media Encoder save/export in swf format?
    If yes how?
    Thanks

    SWF is not a video format. That is why the Flash Video (FLV and F4V) formats exist.
    The are very inefficient ways of making SWF behave in some ways like a video format, such as creating a SWF file that uses a sequence of JPEG or PNG image frames, but such files are enormous and have other problems. After Effects has this option, which was created before Flash Video (F4V and FLV) formats were invented, but that does not mean that a modern video encoder like AME should add this very obsolete feature.
    The way that people create video for Flash Player is to create F4V or FLV files. You can embed or link those in a SWF file using Flash Professional.

  • Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

    Hi Guys
    I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment.  It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there.  These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc.  This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
    The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
    Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
    I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
    Any help would be really gratefully received.
    Cheers

    Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
    Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
    Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
    What OS Win7, 64-bit
    What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
    When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
    What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
    If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
    What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
    Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
    Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
    Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
    Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

  • Adobe Media Encoder - .wmv export not provided?

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on a Windows 7 machine.  I need render out a Windows Media format (.wmv) but it is not found in any of the presets or from the format drop-down menu.  Only F4V, FLV, H.264, H.264 (Legacy) and MP3 are available.
    I can't find any information that indicates that I need to install extra codecs, but I believe this is the problem.
    Or, maybe it's the version of Creative Suite that doesn't allow for certain file formats?
    Anyone?
    Thanks.

    Hi thanser,
    Adobe Media Encoder has all the codecs like QuickTime, WMV and others if you have any Video application Like, Premiere Pro, After Effects or SpeedGrade installed because these are royalty bearing codecs and can be activated if you have Video application installed and activated with the respective serial number. If you have license for Indesign, Illustrator or Photoshop you might not get these codecs. So, The video applications are provided with Master Collection suite or Production Premium suite and if you have any other suite you can only use Video Products as a trial for 30 days and get these codecs for a limited time.

    Vinay

  • 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,

  • Adobe Premiere CC/Adobe Media Encoder CC export crashing?

    Hello, I'm experiencing issues with Adobe Premiere/Adobe Encoder during exporting in which the program will crash during the export. What can I do to prevent this issue from occurring so that I can finish a full export? The footage is a mixture of HD footage, still images, and graphics and it crashes every time I export it. I have tried exporting it as a Quicktime, MP4, and MPEG and get same results every time.

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. i export anything by button "queue" from premiere to Encoder
    2. Encoder will start encoding
    3. Encoder does not show the window of media encoding (down left )
    Results: sound of sheep occur,
    in encoding error file is this reason of canceling the encoding :
    01/02/2014 10:10:48 AM : Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • Adobe media encoder dont export avi

    i work in premiere cs4 and i try to export that project in avi format but it dont appear in the batchlist of media encoder. If i choose the mpegdvd option, it works. which is the problem? codecs missing? helpme please!!!.

    Whether I'm an acquired taste or not, I leave that up to you to decide.
    What irks me enormously is the number of posts by absolute NOOBS, who have never looked in the manual, who have never used the HELP file, assume that everybody should be at their disposal to solve the problems they have due to lack of understanding the basics of NLE, who act as adolescent nitwits that feel frustrated when named just that, who give a clear indication of using hijacked and illegitimate software, while the majority has payed dearly for an official license, and they still complain about things not working as they thought it would, using material not suitable for editing, trying to do things the program was never intended for on machines that are inadequate to start with.
    Remarks like: HELP, URGENT, BUG and the like are abundant, but very, very rarely can this be substantiated other than by plain OE. Unfortunately, most OP's have a very difficult time understanding that the cause of their problems is their own doing and often they complain when someone mentions this.
    C'est le ton qui fait la musique. If OP's would understand that even though their problem may be obvious to them, it is quite different when trying to ask somebody else's help. They have to go back to the basics and explain it for someone else, so the responder can understand. That is quite different and requires the OP to distance himself from his problem. Be objective, don't waste time on inconsequential details, show that you have searched the web or these fora, don't assume that saying: I don't have the time to search for an answer, so you do it, will win you a positive response.
    People, get real. This is a great place to share knowledge and experience. Everybody had to learn sometime and even noobs deserve their attention and help. It just makes it frustrating when one is continuously confronted with users of illegal software that demand priority service from Adobe on a user-to-user forum or that fail to clearly state their situation.
    Thus, I have this message:
    i "I reserve the right to call anyone a noob. Especially if you haven't read the ******* manual!!"
    i "The two most abundant things in the universe, are Hydrogen......and Noobidity!"

  • Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
    While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails.  Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
    Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
    Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
    More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
    Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
    Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.

    I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset.  AME fails every time with the following message:
    "Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error."
    Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine.  The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
    All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime.  I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
    Interesting.
    Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

  • Problems to Export to Adobe Media Encoder!

    Hi, I´ve a problem to export to Adobe Media Encoder!
    When in Premiere Pro CS4, I click in Files - Export - Media.. it shows a display saying: "An Adobe Media Encoder update s available for this version of Premiere Pro.."
    But I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4 to 4.21 and Media Encoder to 420! Both are installed!
    And the display message s showed yet! So I cant send the project into Media Encoder by click, just if i open Media Encoder..
    How do I solve this?
    Because before I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4, I´didnt have this boring message..
    Thanks for your help!
    Gustavo

    Gustavo,
    Though you have updated, it appears that the updater still thinks that you have not.
    The first thing that I would do is follow the suggestion in the message. An alternative would be to close PrPro, and open Bridge, then choose Help>Update from there. Not sure why updating from Bridge seems to do things better, but it does for many.
    This should do one of two things: actually do the update (maybe it only was applied partially? and clear the updater notification. I have had similar with Acrobat Pro, where it took three attempts to get the update to both complete and then to clear the notification messages.
    Now, when I go to update from Adobe, I first shut off my AV, pop-up blockers and spysweeper programs. I trust Adobe.com, so do not want anything getting in the way. One more thing to do, prior to updating is to make sure that you have the very latest Adobe Flash Player installed. More and more, Adobe's installers rely on Flash Player.
    That is all that I can think of now, other than Good Luck!

    Hi all,
    I am attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder to  export a QT h264 optimized for upload to facebook from a QT file exported 'Same as Source' from Avid MC 5.0.3, whic would be 1080i60 1920x1080.  The source file playsback correctly in QT player or VLC, but even the output preview screen in AME shows only a white image.
    I've also tried converting a completely different QT file created in Premiere Pro, with the same white video output issue.  I've tried opening/closing AME with no luck, but hte last time I used it I didn't have any problems and was able to produce the desired end result.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks for your input,

    Hi,
    Yes you are correct in assuming the two software packages are on different machines. I am using Premire Pro CS5 5.0 and Avid Nitris DX MC 5.0.3 And no, I do not believe I have installed any Avid Codecs.  I just followed your link, will download and do so now.  I'm assuming this will fix the bug, but if not I will let you know.
