Audio Export - Adobe Media Encoder

Kudos to the Adobe team for making the export of frames soooo much better in the 4.1 update. Can you please do the same for audio export? I really don't enjoy spending 10 minutes to export a 30 second section of audio.
Cheers.

Spot on Jim. Once the AME has loaded the project, it renders quickly. The project has over 650 video clips, still images, titles, and audio clips, the AME loads everything, not just the work area selected. It really doesn't take 10 minutes but it is an excruciatingly slow process when one is 'in the groove' editing or compared to earlier versions.

No audio on Adobe Media Encoder CS4

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (4.1.0.107) to convert an MPEG2 clip with WAV audio to FLV or to F4V.
The export audio checkbox is checked but the output file I get has no audio.
I'm using Windows Vista SP2.
Please I need your help !!!

I have VBR as an option under FLV/F4V. Multiple passes, too.
Nothing special here. I have used most of these settings to test them out (VBR multipass wasn't available previously in PPro) and compare them to my Sorenson Squeeze results. You'd be better off with Squeeze, but it's not too bad in this version...much better than the previous implementation of the On2 VP6 encoding.
Different vendors with their different applications utilize codecs differently. In other words, just because VBR or multi-pass encoding is part of the available spec on a certain codec (for example, On2 VP6) does not mean that the entire spectrum of options will be fully implemented in your application of choice. Sorenson Squeeze has one of the better utilizations of On2 VP6 available for the price.
EDIT - Make sure you are using Flash 8 and higher, not Flash 7 and higher. Sorenson Spark codec is limited to CBR. It's all available in the video tab under Basic Video Settings and Bitrate Settings.

Premiere Pro CS6 stops during export (Adobe Media Encoder also)

Hello,
I have been using the Adobe CS6 Video Bundle for a few years now and suddenly I've been having an issue with exporting my timelines in an H.264 format.
Any H.264 video that I try to export that exceeds approximately 900MB stops in the middle of the export and gives me this message:
My video bundle has been doing some odd things lately and this is possibly the most annoying. My computer is a custom built workstation so it's not like my computer can't handle it.
-Intel i7 4.2ghz overclocked CPU
-32GB RAM
-Adobe Video Bundle installed in 120GB SSD
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nate

Thank you for your response.
-I tried exporting an AVI and the file exported succesfully but with a warning "Adobe Media Encoder Could not write XMP data in output file." The file plays fine though and is over 5.5GB. So that's odd that my h.264 which is under 1GB won't fully export.
-Yes, the same thing happens when exporting directly from PrPro instead of using AME.
-In this project I am using NO Dynamic Links.
-I have not installed any codec libraries.
-I do not use 3rd party plug-ins.
-My destination drive has several terabytes.
Thanks,
Nate

Why Adobe media Encoder makes 3 files when export in MPEG2 ?

I try to compress a sequence using File-Export-Adobe Media Encoder -MPEG2-DVD. I want to reduce the size of my sequence (normaly exported as .AVI file) When done, I have 3 files: 1) .m2v 2) .Wav 3) .mcses
What are theses files ? Should I use something else to reduce the size of my files to fit on a 4.7G DVD...?
Thanks !
Franc St-Louis

The .m2v file contains the MPEG-2 video.
The .wav file contains the PCM (uncompressed) audio.
The .mcses file contains information about chapter markers.
Encore will use the MPEG-2 file "as is" and by default compress the PCM audio to Dolby Digital (AC3).
There are basically two options to make your project fit on a DVD:
Export a DV AVI file from Premiere and let Encore decide on the best compression settings "on automatic".
Do a bit budget calculation and use the bit rate numbers found in Premiere's Media Encoder.
To assist you with the bit budget you can use one of these online calculators:
Bitrate Calculator
CustomFlix Bit Budget Calculator
Chris Linke Bit Budget Calculator

Premiere stops when opening tab "Adobe Media Encoder"

Working with Premiere CS3
When I want to export movie to flv, I open File-> Export-> Adobe Media Encoder
Then I have to select, but since a few days when I click the Adobe Media Encoder button, Premiere stops and is out of service.
When I start up Premiere again, it repeats.
Yesterday I've downloaded Quicktime (of a CD which needed it for playing).
But after uninstall Quicktime, the problem is still there.
So I've set back the date to Wednesday (two days ago) but nothing will help.
How can I solve this problem?

More information would be very useful. This ARTICLE will give you tips on what types of info are needed, and how to gather some of it.
Good luck,

No VBR on Adobe media encoder?

Hello,

I have seen tutorial where they put the settings to VBR 2 pass etc.
I don't seem to have these on my CS3? Just CBR. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

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.

Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

Hi.
I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character. Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps. I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project. (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context. It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps? I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
Thanks

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels). I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio. i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think). But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
Thanks

Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event (when exporting audio)

I do alot of vj'ing... I have a good pipeline for exporting short film clips, optimized for the vj software I use.
I export photojpg at 75 quality, at 640x480, with no audio.
However, i'm now trying to export some of the same clips, but with the audio intact.
No matter what audio format and bitrate setting I choose, however, media encoder refuses to export the audio.
I've tried it with a number source videos, with various combinations of source video/audio codec combinations, and I continue to get the same error:

Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

First, all the system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
But now, two things happen:
1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
Huh?
Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
Multiplexer Tab:
choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
Video Tab:
Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
Quality: increase it to the max of 5
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
Render at Maximum Depth box checked
Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
Audio Tab:
Audio Format: Dolby Digital
Codec: Dolby Digital
Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
Thus the primal scream.
The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it. :-)
P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep. In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
Help. Please. :-)

Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 + Dynamic Link = no audio!

When exporting to any file from AE via Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1) rendered file has no audio at all.
When importing AE comp with audio to Premiere CC 2014 imported track doesn't have audio.
Problem is somewhere in dynamic link.
How can we export, for example to H.264, from AE if Media Encoder have problems with Dynamic Link?

Hi Dmitri,
In AE project I have JPG sequence footage and sequence of ten MP3 audio tracks. I have created WAV file from those ten tracks and tried it in AE instead of MP3 files, but result was same - no audio in file, rendered from AME.

Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 loses sound.

So... I've been having a hell of a time with the new Adobe creative cloud when it comes to video editing. The drop of .flv format, unable to straight export .H24 formats from after effects, it's a total nightmare. Here's the issue, to export as a .H24, you now have to use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014. The biggest issue, however, is at the end of the export, when you open the video, half of the video's sound is mysteriously GONE. Just gone. If you go back to after effects, look at the file and the audio, the wave forms are there. There's nothing that would make it lose sound. Audio is selected on export... I have no idea what's up. Editing videos for youtube was a snap in previous versions of After Effects, now It's becoming almost impossible.

I think the same problem:
Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files from Watched Folders
Probably with cached files. Try this: Adobe Media Encoder 2014.2 Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files - cache problem? - Video Production Stack Exc…

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?

Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export.

Dear All,
Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export movies.
Some times they will, but after one file both programs give me the following error messages.
After effects:
“[file path and name].mov. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
AME:

I've went through the forum and found threads & pages discussing the problem.

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252092
After following all the tips and suggestions (from deinstalling quicktime components & audio components to completely reinstalling CC) I'm still experiencing the problems.
Which leaves me in a bit of a squeeze. I need to export over 144 movies in the coming 2 days and the only way to do this is to quit and open media encoder (or AE) after each single export.
Not really an option.
Both problems have the process Adobe QT sever in common, I took this from the console:

Hello Tim,
Thanks for the really quick response!
Regarding the crash log: it doesn't reference com.apple.audio.CoreAudio (though it did before, so I followed all the steps in your blog post before I posted to this forum).
I've uploaded the crashlog to:
http://martijnlambada.com/TMP/AdobeQT32servercrash.zip
If you want to inspect it. It mentions the DXV codec (which I also uninstalled), but the crash keeps occuring. Also I need to export to DXV since it's the only codec the d3 media
server accepts (http://d3technologies.com).
I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting steps.
Codecs used: I've tried everything from animation to Apple ProRes (including: h264/motion jpeg/uncompressed). With all codecs the Adobe QT32 server keeps crashing (though I can't always reproduce).
Export destination: Internal SSD (same as where the OS is installed on) + External raid (via firewire & thunderbolt) + external HD via usb 3.0 (tried everything).
When does the problem start: Really hard to specify, sometimes a day without crashes, sometimes every export for days on end. Sometime after restarting (tried logging out, restarting, switching off and on the computer). With other programs running and with out. Now checking every process active when exporting, and comparing log files.
Can you export to other formats: See question 1, sometimes I can, sometimes not.
When you launch AE and/or AME, is QT32 Server running? At what point does it stop running? Still runing when I open the program. It crashes when exporting (ofter after finishing the first export).
What component files are in your Library/QuickTime folder?: Currently the folowing:
AppleAVCIntraCodec
AppleHDVCodec.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
AppleProResCodec.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
iChatTheaterPreview.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
