Adobe Media Encoder won't take mov. files!?

My Adobe Media Encoder will not take mov. files! That should not be a problem, right? When I click the Add-button the mov. files is not listed up unless I choose to show all files. And when selecting the file, the program says the file could not be imported -_-
Probably a stupid newbie mistake, but can anyone tell me what it is?
I have downloaded the latest flash CS4 trial package, which include the encoder, and am trying to encode files provided with adobe's book "Adobe flash CS4 professional - Classroom in a book"

I found the answer. I needed to install Quicktime lol

Adobe Media Encoder won't open MPEG2 files

Hi All,
I'm hoping you can help me, I'm having some trouble with Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it won't open any MPEG2 files I throw at it.
They all open fine in Media Player Classic, MPC-HC and VideoLan, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas greatfully appreciated.
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium
AME CS4 4.2.0.006

Jim Simon, one came from a creative production house and a couple came from a website that provides various videos in various formats for testing video players.
Thanks for the information Colin Brougham. Can any MPEG 2 importers/decoders be used?
I'm new to AME so perhaps I don't understand how it works entirely but on the AME information page on the Adobe website it says that MPEG2 files can be imported, and there is no mention of only being able to do so with certain Adobe products (unless I missed it).
However, if I can open and play MPEG2 Files in various media players, surely there is a way to use the decoders from those to work with AME?
All advice greatly appreciated.

Adobe Media Encoder won't start

Not OP, but I have the same problem. AME just won't run. Double click, it's loading, I can see the process in Windows Task Manager but it just goes away again. Tried deleting that watch folder .xml but not working. Here's my spec from the FAQ:
What version of Adobe Media Encoder? Include the minor version number (e.g., Adobe Media Encoder CS6 with the 6.0.1 update).AME CC from premiere cc 7.0.1
What other Adobe applications do you have installed, and what application are you using Adobe Media Encoder with?Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)Used creative cloud to update to latest version

Are you using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?Yeah
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".N/A. App won't launch
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?No error message
Is the problem only occurring with a specific output format or encoding preset? If so, which one? If this is a custom preset not included with AME, then upload the preset file to a file-sharing site and provide a link.No.
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Booted up the computer. Launch AME.
Has this ever worked before?Yes.
What other software are you running?Google Chrome

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

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.

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.
Others are having a similar problem:

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?

Adobe Media Encoder Doesn't recognize .prproj files

I am absolutely losing it here. I have read posts on various forums for hours, not only can I not find a solution, I can't find anyone who has this same problem. I'm running CS4 on a Mac and when I try to export from premiere, Adobe Media Encoder opens, then nothing happens. The file is never added to the queue, it just sits there. If I open Adobe Media Encoder manually then click add and try to select a premiere project, the file is grayed out. I changed the dropdown menu for file types to be "all types" and I click on a premiere file and it just pops up an error message saying the file cannot be imported. Same thing if I try to drag the file in. I can do absolutely nothing with AME.
I've seen plenty of people saying AME crashes midway through rendering or people saying they get an error saying to check if the source has been moved or deleted. I don't get any of that. I have nothing. It doesn't show up in the log or errors in any way.
The most annoying thing is that it used to work. I exported several files this way. I did not change any settings though, I even went and restored all the default settings. Still nothing. Its not just the one file, I've tried lots of different files, none work. I even reinstalled premiere, after effects, and AME and nothing changed.
I'm at a complete loss and I need to get work done and I wish I could post lots and lots of curse words here...

Hi,
I use CS3 on a PC so I've no experience with mac problems...
However, even if I had a mac I would ask you first a little more about your computer....
I have heard of memory chips going bad on a computer and suddenly that causes things not to work...but there's no sense just guessing...
Try to tell as much as you can about your computer and about the assets you are using.
Since it used to work and now it doesn't , can you think of anything you added or changed on the computer ?
Sometimes adding software or codec packs or hardware can sorta change things on your computer enough to make weird things happen...
Anyway, give as much info as you can
I think there's threads here about what sort of info would be best to supply if you don't know much about your computer ...

Adobe Media Encoder won't run

AE CS4 render engine / Adobe Media Encoder won't create a container for h.264 blu-ray

here's the problem.
First, I tried to render a comp using the render engine inside AE using h.264 blu-ray preset.
It was supposed to create 1 file, but I ended up with 3 : audio track, video and a file with .xmpses extension.
I then decided to render it in lossless .mov, which works fine, but 3:40 minutes is taking up over 8gb, which is of course, unacceptable.
After that, I've put the .mov file into Media Encoder to try h.264 blu-ray there.
Absolutely the same ********.
I'm using the Mac version of AE CS4.
Here is the screenshot of original .mov file and the result. As you see, it refuses to make a container. This is absolutely unacceptable

It raises another question: what settings do I need to encode the comp in 720p resolution without taking up lots of space?
Well, it depends on whether you need a production master (something for broadcast, for example, or to use as a source for other encoding tasks) or if you want a version for distribution. If it's the former, there's nothing wrong with "lots of space" - A Quicktime file with PNG or Animation codec is a good idea, but it will take a lot of space. If it's the latter, H264 is perfect but there's no built-in preset to take 720 material to the web.
You could do this:
* Pick the generic H264 template. You'll see that it will give an error if you attempt to render, because the default setting uses an H264 profile/level which doesn't let you use HD resolutions.
* In the H264 video options, set the "Profile" menu to "Main" and "Level" to 4.0. That will keep it compatible to Quicktime and Flash player, while allowing larger frame sizes and higher bit rates.
* Set Target Bitrate to 5-8 Mbps and Maximum Bitrate to 9-10 Mbps if you're targetting web delivery. That's a bit over what Apple uses for 720p content on the Apple TV, for example.
The H264 original preset will instruct you in the comment field to stretch to 640x480 in Output Module. There's no need, since you are using a profile/level combination which allows higher frame sizes.

Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try this and see if it will work for you.
Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
If iMovie tries to open, close it.
Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.

After Effects CC // Adobe Media Encoder won't export H.264 mp4 files

It stops immediately after "Reading XMP", having exported a defective file (200 kb, about a second long). I've tried several presets in this category.
Is it a codec problem? What could be the cause?

Rick means composition, not compensation.
But he's right; we need that info.
Also, is this a dynamically linked project? If so, what exact version number of AE are you using (down to the last decimal)? Also, what version of AME? If not, what format and codec are you rendering to out of AE that you're bringing into AME?

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (Mac) condenses .mov vertically

Hi, folks
QuickTime movie generated by Final Cut Pro 7, converted to same size .flv (720 x 480) results in video that is condensed vertically. No such problem when using Flash 8 Video Encoder. Would prefer to use more recent encoder since a document of much smaller fize size is created.
Tried "cheating" width of output video setting by making it larger to eliminate black bars on either side of image area that had resulted in previous attempts, to no avail.
Thanks.

Adobe Media Encoder creates corrupt H264 mp4 file

I am using Premeire Pro CS5 and exporting an H264 mp4 file from a 720x480 timeline. For one of the files I am exporting, AME completes the export, i.e. I see a green check mark. But the file is corrupt. When I try to open the file with Quicktime, I get the following error:
"The operation couldn't be completed - (OSStatus Error - 12848)"
The strange thing is that other timelines exported without any problem. And this particular timeline I could export using different (but very similar) export settings. The only thing I'm changing is the video bitrate. I'm actually creating three different videos for adaptive bitrate streaming, 300k, 550k, and 800k, all from the same video. The 300k version is the only one that won't work. But again, what is strange is that other timelines export out fine using the same exact 300k export settings. It's just this one timeline that won't export without getting the mentioned error.

I having the same issue.
Any insight on a solution?

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converts MOV to F4V without sound

My environment:
Mac OS X 10.6.2
MacPro dual 2.66 dual-core Xeon with 2 GB RAM
Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS4
I have a QuickTime movie that has both audio and video components. It plays just fine in the Finder and QuickTime Player. I’m trying to convert it to Flash video for posting as a streaming file to our Web server. I’m new to Flash, and this is a bit of an experiment, so it’s quite possible I am going about it all the wrong way, but whenever I use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert the MOV file (51.8 MB, 1152×648 frame, PCM stereo audio, H.264 MPEG-3 codec) to F4V for insertion into Flash and eventual generation of a SWF file, all I get out of the encoder is a video. The video claims to have AAC-encoded stereo sound, but nothing plays.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could be doing wrong or what’s not happening properly? I’ve applied all available patches to all CS4 applications. The movie was originally exported from Keynote, if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help!

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 + .MTS Files

Greetings!
In the past I have used Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to convert .mts files from my Canon Vixia HF200. These were taken off an external hard drive, not in the original file structure. I converted them to Quicktime H.264 and everything worked great.
However, now I have tried the same process with Adobe Media Encoder CS5, but now I get a message that the "Compression Type is Not Supported"
I have tried multiple computers and reinstalled a few times.
Has anyone seen this or do you have any suggestions?
My Setup:
Mac OS X 10.6.x
Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.x
Final Cut Studio 3
Thanks,
Steve

I am having a similar problem. We have a client with .MTS files I need to convert into .mov. When I try to add one in it states that the Compression Type is not Supported.
I have:
CS5- Flash, InDesign, Illustrator, DW, Fireworks, Catalyst, PS, Adobe Reader, Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager. Nothing is a trial version.
I don't have any of the other programs listed in the above post.
Suggestions?

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 crash on startup

Hello,
I've been using and troubleshooting with the help of Adobe forums for quite a few years now (thank you to everyone), but I don't recall actually ever posting anything, as of yet.
Problem: Adobe Media Encoder was working fine yesterday and today it continually crashes on startup. I have accessed it alone through Start menu and also tried exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro as well as After Effects. AME crashes every single time. I'm not sure what is going on. I cannot provide the specs as I'm on a work computer (which I think should be scrapped for junk) and it's a dodgy little machine. Anybody else having problems with AME CS4?
I've also attached two screen shots. It's of the splash screen when it crashes and the error report.
Thanks,

Ok so here's what happened to me: AME gave me the error "AME stopped working" It was working just fine the day before. Here is a list in sequence of what I did to try to resolve this issue. Reboot program, reboot computer, moved the project to its own Terabyte hard drive to make sure I had enough room to create the temp folders it needed when AME exports, Uninstalled all of the CS4 create suite then reinstalled and downloaded the 834MB update file, Prayed really hard, search forums, Cried out to God, came across this thread but it didn't sound right that all I had to do was delete a one KB xml file. But I started down that path anyway. c:\Users\'your account'\appdata\roaming\adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\ is a file called 'Watch Folder Info.xml' Im running Windows 7 and I had to show hidden folders http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial151.html once I could see the folders I had to take control of them. I thought I was the system admin but it didn't appear that way so I had to take ownership of the file http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-me nu-in-vista/ I finally got in and deleted the file and now it is working. It automatically created another watchfolder.xml but its still working. I think this is ridiculous that Adobe has this issue. It seems every 4 months or so PP has this huge issue that stops all my work. If wish I could find something more reliable but I have invested to many years into PP. I'm stuck.
