AME CS5 Video Missing

I'm trying to use AME to convert AVI files to MOV or FLV. THe conversion process runs smoothly, however, the ouptut file displays no video image, but does have sound. Am I missing a setting? Thanks.

You are missing a codec on your computer.
Try playing it through VLC, install the divx codec pack ...

AME CS5, Quicktime & H.264 encoding - very poor

Hi all,
I seem to be stumped on an encoding issue - whenever I encode .mov files with the H.264 codec, they always come out looking like, well like a first generation web video - ie like S$*T.
My best guess is that the profile is preset to use 'baseline' - if so, is there a way to change this? I can't find any options to change to change the profile, or levels, or anything with regards to H.264 - there is a "codec settings" button, but that is grayed out.
Am I just a dummy and missing some key setting in the interface?
If I go back to CS3 and export with the same settings, I get great looking video - but of course since the project was edited in CS5, I can't go backwards.....
If I am a dummy, can anyone point me in the direction on how to get good looking .mov videos out of AME CS5?
Thanks,
~Mike

I did a quick test of an H.264 MOV earlier today for someone else; check it out here. This is PAL DV to H.264, at about 2Mbps; I think it looks OK. I can get much better from the MainConcept H.264 encoder, or an external encoder, but it's usable.

According to MediaInfo, the H.264 MOV generated by Premiere is actually using the Main profile; the Level varies based on frame size and where you limit the bitrate. You don't have a lot of options here because, well, I don't think Apple's/QuickTime's implementation of H.264 gives you many options. It's a pretty rotten encoder, at least in comparison to some of the other choices out there.
If you want more flexibility in creating an H.264 encode, use the H.264 format; it's in the same list as QuickTime. You'll have much more you can choose from and more flexibility when controlling your encode. It still doesn't give you as much control as, say Sorenson Squeeze (MainConcept codec) or x264 (open source H.264 encoder, which gives you even more than MainConcept), but you can get some decent looking encodes. The video will be put in an MP4 container, which will playback in QuickTime.
Do you need an MOV? If so, check out MPEG Streamclip. I'm assuming you're using Windows, so that's where the link goes; there's a Mac version as well, however. Anyway, MPEG Streamclip is my go-to gadget when I absolutely have to send an H.264 MOV. It's still using Apple's encoder, but it looks better, and you have a little more control. Just spit out an uncompressed file from Premiere (has to be an uncompressed AVI or else any kind of MOV) and encode from Streamclip--works a treat.

AME CS5.5 freezes while encoding

I upgraded my iMac to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) a couple weeks ago. I tried encoding a 30 minute 1080p video to H.264, VBR 1 pass and it freezes midway through the encoding process. It did this a few times and I never had this issue before upgrading the Mac OS. Any reason why I am having this issue?
Thanks!

Try either disabling GPU acceleration in PPRO before exporting to AME or queuing up only one job at a time.
There's a lengthy thread here on the forums about similar issues with AME CS5.5. One big thing to keep in mind is that the hang on AME's side is just a symptom--a result of a problem upstream--and there have been a number of different issues that all resulted in AME hanging while encoding. We fixed several of these issues in CS6, but at least a few known cases remain. So it's worth downloading the trial version of PPRO CS6 to see if your case is fixed.
Also, there are subtle differences in the particulars of the hang, such as whether it hangs in about the same spot with a given sequence--if so, then there's probably something about assets or effects/transitions at that point that is triggering the issue. If AME hangs at different points in a given encode, then it might be a resource issue on your system, such as RAM getting maxed out.

AME CS5 Prores support?

I noticed that AME CS5 does not support Prores or quicktime. I also noticed that the Video codec settings is limited only to MainConcept H.264 Video so I can't even output to other file formats. Does AME CS6 support Prores and other output formats?
Thanks

Thanks Todd,
I already have FCP intstalled and the Quictime and Prores components from Apple. However, my version of AME CS5 only gives me the following options:
Format options are limited to H.264 or FLV / F4V
Basic video settings limited to MainConcept H.264 Video
I suspect I need to upgrade to CS6 Version for more Format and Video settings options?
Thanks for your help.

Aperture video missing red channel on playback

Aperture video missing red channel on playback. Also some pictures appear to have missing pixels.
Video played with Quicktime doesnt have the missing red channel.
When trying to playback video,in aperture, it plays with missing frames, missing pixels and the crashes entire computer. My computer is a Mac Pro desktop with 24 gb memory with 3.33 ghz 6-core processor running Version 10.9.2 and Aperture 3.5.1
Any suggestions on my problem?
thanks
Pat

Never had anything before crash the whole system since OS8 or so.
Back up your system, without deleting older backups - just in case; that looks like a possible system trouble.
Also they some have been in Aperture for a while and they used to be OK.
Do the videos play in QuickTime Player or any other software, if you export or reveal the originals?
Can you play your videos, when signed into another user account?

Photoshop CS5 Video issues. NEED Help ASAP

I created a video using Adobe Photoshop CS5. In Photoshop, the video is crisp and clear. After I export the video into an "MP4 H.26 Best quality 30 or 48 fps 1920x1080 HD" video, part of the video looks clear, but as soon as the movement occurs, the picture becomes pixilated. I've tried everything that I can think of. I have a still picture in the back ground. There is rain coming down from the top, an object moves across the bottom, and another object "floats" in the air (little up and down movement). Before the rain comes down, everything is clear. Even after the rain (I created) comes down, the movement across the bottom is clear (a video loop from videoblocks.com). But after the rain starts to come down, the still background image (I created) begins to look pixilated, and the "floating" object (Icreated) becomes blurry as well. At first I thought it had something to do with the way I had the rain come down...but in Photoshop, the playback is very clear. Does anybody have any idea how i can save this video without it looking this way? I need an answer ASAP, PLEASE.
Thank you!!!!

I gave the settings I used in exporting the Adobe Photoshop CS5 video. I want to know how I should change my settings. I may be creating the video all wrong or using the wrong product. I had a photoshop file with layers. I wanted the rain to fall out of the sky, so i made a video with the raindropd falling at a tween of 20 and I had like 380 frames after that. I could figur out how to get another layer to move at a different pace, so I exported the video (many times until i could get it as clear as possible). Then i added the video back in, and added in another layer (the one that was floating in the sky). No matter which setting I used to export the video, it wasn't as crisp as I was looking for. I exported the video and iserted it back in for the movement across the bottom. That came out really clear (but it came from http://videoblocks.com). Do you or anyone else know which is the best settings for me to use in Photoshop CS5? Or is there another program i could use to makke clear videos?
I want the video to be as original as possible.

I downloaded both files and when I try to open I get this,The file archive part of adobe photoshop cs5 is missing.

I can't open either file, first one keeps asking me what to open with and the second one says, the file archive part of adobe photoshop cs5 is missing. what am I doing wrong? I have a serial number

It sounds like your downloaded archive file the big is eithe corrupt or not where it should be. That file is a 7Zip file which can be extracted with 7zip. If the downloaded file is bad delete it and download it again Download CS5 products

How Much Ram does AME CS5 use for an average HD Encode?

Hello,
I know this is a tough question but I would like to learn what factors control or limit the performance of AME CS5.
I have 12GB of ram in my Windows 7 64bit system but AME CS5 will only use 3 GB when encoding and HD file to say Mpeg-2.
Is 3GB all it needs? Would more ram do anything to speed up the encoding?
I know that encoding is largely a CPU intensive task but after experimenting with RAID 0, I discovered disc read speed makes a large difference in the encoding time. So I would like to know if ram plays any part in encoding time?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

Photoshop CS5 Video Export Option Problem

I created a simple animation in photoshop. I can export it as a gif using the "save for web" option, but when I use the Export --> Render Video option, all video options are disabled. That is, Quicktime option is not available. I have the extended version, 64 bit. I researched various possibilities, but cannot figure out how to activate the video option. Any suggestions welcome.
Thx

External Video Missing

After capturing 4 hrs of mini-DV via camcorder last week, I tried to capture 5th tape but now FCP can't recognize the camcorder deck I used before. Says external video missing.
it's the same camcorder, same firewire connect, same everything, as I had Friday. Any advice appreciated.
Jim

All bets are off if you used any software updates ....
If not:
- turn everything off.
- unplug the firewire connector
- zap the PRAM
- reboot without any firewire connections
- shut down again.
- hook up your tape deck and turn it on
- turn on you computer
- launch FCP
If you do not see the camera in FCP or system profiler, you have either a bad firewire port or a bad firewire cable. Swap cameras, cables and/or ports as necessary to isolate the offending party.
good luck.

AME CS5 codec's

Hi, I can't seem to get an answer to this anywhere. There seems to be a lot less codec’s in CS5 than my previous version of CS4 and I want to import and export different file types.
How can I introduce more codec’s into AME CS5 on my windows 7 PC?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Simon
PS. Adobe - I would like to know why an upgrade would have less functionality?

As you may know, "Creative Suite CS5" is a version, not a product. Within any given CS version, you can buy 4 different suites that bundle various point products, and you can purchase the point products separately.
As for why certain suites or point products unlock only a limited set of codecs, that decision hinges on the fact that Adobe has to pay a third party for some codecs, such as MPEG2. So the management team for each point product has to decide whether enough users of that product will want all the codecs to warrant paying that fee for each and every license. Let's say the royalty fee for a codec is $1 per license but Acrobat estimates that only 1% of its users will take advantage of that additional codec. In that case, Adobe would pay $100 in royalties for every 100 licenses sold, and only 1 customer would really benefit.
Re: the WMV mystery, let us know if you think of any differences in how the clips were created or if you post some for us to investigate. Until then, there's no way for us to help you.

How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files?

How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files? So far the only options I have found are to increment the output file name or fail. From the explaination of file increment I would have expected overwrite to be the alternative. We work daily with the same file(s) on an hourly basis and convert via watch folder to over a dozen file types and network mapped destinations. Re-using the same file name is critical to the final project (updating website content). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Has there been any updates on overwriting output files in CS6? This would be extremely helpful.

AME CS5.5 Hanging at 75% & Drive Update for NVIDIA GeForce GTX-470

Hello,
I am having problems with AME CS5.5 hanging as well. I was wondering if somone from Adobe can tell me if the latest Driver upgrade for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 card of 285.62 is safe/recomended for Adobe CS5.5 Premiere/AME/Encore/After Effects programs. I do not want to cause any additional issues with my Adobe related issues. My present driver is 280.26...Thanks, Steve

I installed the update after creating a restore point.
I guess it's safe, but the behavior is the same. I still have the hanging issue.
I hope that this bug gets fixed soon.,

Videos missing from Home Sharing (on Apple TV 2)

We have home sharing turned on successfully through iTunes, including for iPhoto pictures (through iTunes) and have turned on sharing videos. We can view pictures (going back to the beginning of our library nearly 10 years ago), and I can see nearly 300 videos. However, many (most) of our videos don't appear downstairs (even though they show up in a smart "All Videos" album on iPhoto). Formats that are appearing downstairs include QT and 3GPP (and go back well over a year) - many of the videos missing appear to be AVI (though at least one AVI format video appears). That's 700+ missing videos.
Can you advise what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

Going to try a signal booster this all started with the TV upgrade. The only reason for the network booster is because iPhone 4 freezes in facebook once and a while. I am trying to solve this problem for my brother my system works with my airport and imac with no issues yet. All brand new.
