Alpha channel in Adobe Media Encoder output

Hello, I would like to know how to get the same result in Adobe Media Encoder as you get from AE rendering using Quicktime container and PNG + alpha codec.
On the left is the SS from playing AME rendered video in any player, even Win preview, on the rigth is how it is played if rendered from AE with same settings. (AME has 32bit. AE has RGB + alpha)
Even the file sizes are different so this clearly isn't equivalent to AEs render. And yes, if you import what AME rendered into AE, it looks ok, but I need this to look OK in video players.
Am I missing something, or this simply isn't possible?
Thank you for your time.

I want to do in "AME", the functions that have After Effects.
Are they?
RGB - Opaque = Colors / Transparent = black.
Alpha - Opaque = White / Transparent = Black.
RGB+Alpha - Opaque = Colors / Transparent = Transparent.
As in After Effects.

    im doing a projekt from Mts Files, in Premiere pro
    i have Checked the box that no Xmp Data needs to be added, to the left from the Queue button in the export window.
    Should i Delete all the Xmp in Bridge or somthing like that to Resolve this?

  • Adobe Media Encoder All Video Output 'White'

    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,
    Lindsay

    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.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Can I output for flash 7 with adobe media encoder

    Our Flash Player 7 needs to play this movie.
    Adobe Media Encoder doesn't seem to give me many options for what Flash Player my output file will work with.
    But I don't know much about video so maybe there's a way.
    Anyone know?

    Look at it from the viewpoint of what codecs the player will accept, and proceed from there.

  • New PC, downloaded CC 2014. Flash not showing up as option to rip in Adobe Media Encoder or in After Effects. Help?

    Why is .flv not an option in Adobe Media Encoder or Adobe After Effects?
    Also, when Adobe Captivate converts the video it looses the Alpha channel.
    Help

    Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down. It would be helpful to provide some kind of list of what comp settings carry over into AME from After Effects. Is it essentially everything that is enabled in the Timeline? (I know that motion blur settings do.)
    I'll put this in a feature request, but yes, we need the other half of After Effects Render Queue in AME in order for AME to be a good replacement for rendering from AE. I'll give you my thoughts on why Render Settings are essential before you would actually want to render with AME instead of doing so because you have to (either because you want to render in the background, or need a codec that has been removed from AE.)
    1. Speed: Simply applying a Render Settings preset is much faster than manually setting motion blur, frame blending, work area, etc.
    2. Reliability: Not being able to apply a Render Settings preset at the time of render is a recipe for missing a crucial setting buried in a comp, then having to redo a render and wasting time.
    3. Features: As noted above, there is no way to approximate Render Queue's ability to change resolutions at render, which results in a lot of wasted time when that feature is needed.
    Render Settings I think are crucial to making AME rendering worthwhile for AE users:
    1. Rendering resolution
    2. Work Area/Entire Composition toggle
    3. Field Rendering (wait, does this mean AME can't currently render to fields?)
    4. And PRESET ability these settings, so I'm not doing them manually every time.
    I realize that your team clearly doesn't spend the same amount of time I do making low res H264 previews and sending final files out in H264 format, so you don't appreciate the impact of the changes you made. Moving to AME for that stuff is a real inconvenience, but implementing the settings above could help soften the blow.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC constantly crashing during batch encodes

    Hello!
    We just made the big switch to Premiere Pro CC for our TV shows and now that it's time to finalize our first few episodes we are having some major problems batch exporting segments of the show. Sometimes it works, sometimes it works half way through the batch list then crashes, sometimes it crashes right away. There is no consistency, other than crashes are happening all the time. Here's what is happening:
    • AME 7.2.0.43 (64-bit)
    • Mac OS X 10.9.1 on 2x2.66 GHx 6-Core Intel Xeon, 40 GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM
    • Startup disk is SSD w/ 4GB free space (all footage is on external storage)
    • Using Premiere Pro CC to export via AME.
    • All recent updates insatlled as of 3/10/14.
    The source footage is ProRes 422 720p 59.94 footage from AJA KiPros. Each project has 16 segments - these are individual sequences. There are 7 tracks of audio and 4-5 tracks of video in each. In addition to the video there are targa files that include the score bug, full screen graphics, etc (this is sports). There are also some Adoby Dynamic Link After Effects elements throughout.
    Editing has been fairly crashless - however when I File > Export > Media and queue it up in AME, that's when the fun starts.
    I can rarely get through an entire batch list - generally within a few files the preview window at the bottom shows that it has halted and nothing further will encode. There is no way to stop or close the program without force quitting. When I have tried to encode from Premiere Pro CC directly, it works, although it is much slower and will only do the one sequence at a time.
    I have been trying to encode to two different formats from within AME:
    1.) ProRes 422 720 59.94 (just like the source footage) with 4 channels of audio.
    2.) ProRes 422 1080i29.97 with 4 channels of audio.
    We have different broadcast partners so we need to deliver in these two difference specs. I get crashes regularly on both outputs.
    Possibly unrelated but also weird - I've noticed that when AME starts this crashing cycle sometimes Premiere CC won't let me save anyome. The status bar comes up like it's going to save the project but it goes nowhere. I have to quit without saving. Weird.
    Can anyone help me further troubleshoot? This is bordering near deal breaker to continue using this software if I have this much trouble when trying to get my project outputted. Thank you!

    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 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 cs4 extremely slow (5 hours for 8 minute video)

    I know you have seen slowencoder issues before, but I have tried everything I can to fix this and need help.
    Lets start with basic info:
    8 minute vieo takes over 5 hours to generate final video.
    Observations:  3 processes are running most of the time, with over 2GB memory left over and available, I/O is low, CPU is at 90 to 100 percent for hours during encode.
    PProHeadless.exe 48-50%
    Adobe Media Encoder.exe  30-40%
    ImporterProcessServer.exe  can be from 30-50% CPU but not constant.
    I live in San Jose, and am willng to take this laptop to your Office to debug it personally. (FYI)
    CS4: 4.2.1 with all updates applied
    ALL Encoder OUTPUT is set to a 128GB Solid State Drive drive so there are very low delays on I/O: SAMSUNG MMCRE28G8MXP-0VB.
    This setting is in the general disk setting, media cache files, etc.  All I/O is to this drive, except the project file which for some reason gets copied to temp on c drive... (no I/O there however)

    Harm:
    Cost: I got 2 of the Kingston 128GB SSD V100 from Costco at around 165 each  (after rebate). They are on sale, and there is a 40 rebate each drive  (up to 2) rebate.
    Yes you are right, I did not expect improvements for Premiere pro, but I installed because I use this configuration on other systems for 1 year... and here are the results...
    ALL of the data on this sytem is backed up on my 8TB server.  I can loose anything here and get it back. I see the OS as just another replaceable disk.
    I used the system motherboard hardware Raid 0 for C: AND...  I put 3 of the 1TB drives on the motherboard hardware raid as a data disk.  Data disk is ALL scratch disk, for the encoded files and cache.  Source files are on the other software striped drive.  Of course I loaded a fresh install and moved to Windows 7 64bit...
    Overall observations:
         As you predicted encode times did not improve much, It was 15 minutes vs 17 minutes at 2.66 clock. I am unimpressed with the Intel Motherboard Raid 0. I saw the SSD was blazingly fast, but I think moving these to a RAID controll they will go faster.  Each SSD drive in 200+MB/S rated.
    What I do see is dramatic improvements in load times of the OS and ANY  program you run.  The pagefile was moved back to this raid 0 drive after  benchmarks. RUNNING ANY application (adobe, microsoft, ALL are blazingly fast to load).
    Example: Premiere pro CS5 from click on launch to CS5 prompting for a project name was  5.5  seconds...  I would not take this out of the system for any money saved.  It is amazing.  Almost as good as the nvidia quadro FX 4000 Display card and the CS5.
    My NEXT investment IS the RAID controller, and 6 of the Hitachi deskstar 3TB 6GPS Sata III drives to replace all my current drives. Next month or so for that.
    I want components that I can keep in the system when I do replace the motherboard and CPU.  I will tune this system as I have funds, and ask for help when this system no longer is viable and replace the motherboard.  I will ask for the fastest motherboard and CPU combo that you can buy, and keep my 730X(treme) case and add a water cooler.  As drives add 1TB a year in size, they seem to meet myneeds and I replace the old every 2 years to get the space I need.
    As always your comments are spot on and I appreciate your reviews.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Unexpectedly Quits

    Hello,
    I was trying to export a flv file from CS4 today and I have been receiving an error Adobe has detected that the application adobe media encoder CS4 has Unexpectedly quit. I?m using CS4 4.1 and the matrox 4.1 beta build.
    Here are our settings:
    This was originally a CS3 project now opened in CS4. The source footage is 720p, 29.97fps, m2t files
    I was exporting them with the adobe media encoder
    Flv F4v
    Using no filters
    Format Flv
    Video
    On2 VP6 Codec
    Not encoding the alpha channel
    Resize to 640X360 (half size)
    Frame rate: same as source
    CBR one pass 500kbps
    Set key frame 150
    Undershoot target 90% (this is new to me I left it at the default but what does this mean?)
    And Simple Profile is not checked (This is new to me I left it at the default but what does this mean?)
    Quality: high
    Audio
    Stereo 64kbps
    I tried making a wav file and a F4V and neither of those caused Adobe Media encoder to shut down. But as soon as I try making a flv using these settings the encoder opens then comes up with this error. I would think it has something to do with my settings maybe I need to change something. What should I do and what is a F4V file??
    Thanks

    Updates.  This is becoming an emergency, I can't seem to export anything from any projects!
    Has anyone out there updated their adobe media encoders? Whenever I go to file export I get a dialogue that says there is a update available. My editing system has not been connected to the internet so I have not tried updating yet.
    We are using the Adobe 4.1 and Matrox utils 4.1beta.
    we are using a Matrox Axio LE system.
    In other tests I tried exporting from a 720p 59.94 project using m2ts and a 720x486 29.97fps SD project where the source file was a uncompressed AVI but both were unsuccessful.
    I can however open up the adobe media encoder if I chose F4V upon export. When I choose FLV the encoder opens then quits. With F4V the encoder actually opens but when I select start queue the encoder just sits there and does nothing.
    I have also just tried another test exporting from 720p 59.94pfs 1.0 PAR. to M2V which didn't work.
    The encoder actually opens this time but when I start encoding the encoder just sits there. I can see that it starts to create a file in the specified destination but never really gets going.
    I was using these settings: export Audio and Video, no multiplexing,
    720x480 Quality 5 (all the way up, Progressive frames,
    4:3
    Audio 16bit 48khz,
    no filters
    M frames 3

  • 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.

  • Adobe Media Encoder (CS5) has encountered an error (WinFile.cpp-759)

    I have a 714 MB Xvid file that I want to split into smaller pieces. I have gone successfully through a similar process earlier with a larger Xvid file using the same version of Adobe Media Encoder (CS5). It appears that no matter which output video format I choose, the process crashes with the following error message shown in a new pop-up dialog:
    "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-759].
    (Even the source program file line number 759 in the above error message is always the same, regardless of my chosen output file format.)
    The only option available from this point onwards is the "Continue" button. When I click Continue the program terminates with the Windows program crash message "Adobe Media Encoder CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. <Debug> / <Close program>"
    My search for other similar problem reports revealed that some user(s) has/have experienced a very similar problem in CS4, but the source line number was slightly different in CS4. Both problems are probably caused by the same error in Adobe's software. The small difference in source line numbers is probably due to some (minor) and probably unrelated changes to this C++ source module (WinFile.cpp).
    It might of course be the case that this particular input video file has some rare encoding or other embedded problem. However, the fact that I can view the video without problems using Windows Media Player does not support this theory.
    Apart from this message board I could not find any other avenue to report this bug to Adobe (without paying for support - which I am obviously not going to do as this is clearly a programming bug in the software). Hopefully some Adobe developer responsible for Media Encoder maintenance will read this forum from time to time and would subsequently inspect the source module for any obvious defects. I could supply the source video file with which this problem can be reproduced at will.

  • Adobe Media Encoder for CS4 error Could not read from the source

    Hello,
    I get an error when I try to export from Premiere CS4. It doesn't matter how I export. Seems like an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated:
    - Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\ARTWHI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\extra and b roll.prproj
    - Output File: E:\Living Accused Movie Transfers\video\Cindy at table.avi

    1/21/2009 9:50:25 PM : Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been
    deleted.
    Thank you
    Art

    When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
    Do one or both of the following solutions:
    Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Close all Adobe applications.
    In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
    Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
    Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
    Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
    Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
    Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
    Do one of the following:
    Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
    Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
    Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
    Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
    Re-install your Adobe software.

  • Adobe Media Encoder stopped working in this project, works in others

    Adobe Media Encoder just stopped working in my current project (in PPRO CS3). I'd output several MPEG2-DVD and Windows Media Files. Then I went to make one more MPEG2-DVD file, and when I clicked OK in AME, nothing happened. It should open a window to select where I want to put the file, and a few more options. No crash, no freeze, no error messages..and no output.
    None of the AME formats work (WMF, Quicktime, etc). But other exports do work. I made my MPEG2-DVD file using Export to Encore.
    I opened another project I'm working on, and AME does work in that project.
    Back to my current project, and it still doesn't work.
    I've rebooted, and uninstalled-reinstalled PP CS3.
    Anyone fixed this?  Thanks!

    After some more playing, I discovered that the other sequences in this project do still export using AME. So I made a new sequence, copied all the media from the problem sequence into the new one, and it exports OK.  I lose fairly extensive Encore chapter marking, but that's a minor problem. No way to "cut and paste" chapter markers, I don't suppose?
    For curiosity value, if I make a duplicate of the problem sequence, all the media in the duplicate sequence has a red bar (unrendered) except for the parts that have already been rendered, which have a green bar. This is straight transferred DVCam media and shouldn't need rendering.  If I add some new video to the sequence, it gets a red bar too. Bizarre. Oh, and it won't export.
    I tried a few other tricks with the original problem sequence: delete all media, and replace with one new short clip; delete the chapter markers; shorten the work area bar to just a few seconds and try to export "work area only"; turn off tracks; deselect either audio or video in AME... nothing worked to make this sequence export.
    I also tried making a whole new project, and importing this one into it. Nothing changes - the problem sequence still wont' export, a copy of it leaves all media "unrendered..." exact same trouble as the original project. But it was while playing with this new project that I discovered that my other sequences did export, leading me back to the original project. That should have been the first or second thing I checked. Brain-dead Sunday.
    Conclusion: something corrupt in the sequence, but darned if I can figure out what. Not the media. Not the chapter markers. There's code in the sequence itself, and I guess that must be it.
    Enough time wated on this project. Thanks, all!
