Batch encoding QT 7.0.4

is there a way to do batch encoding using quicktime pro 7.0.4?
thank you.

If you have let's say 5 qt files to encode. Open all 5 in qt and just go down the line using the export command for each. Then hit ok for each movie....You can all so open a movie (which you couldn't do before) while a movie being encode. To either play that open movie or encode it while the movie you have open that is being encoded.
You can use MPEG Streamclip to encode your batch movies. MPEG Streamclip has a batch list. Here the link to MPEG Streamclip http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html

AME Batch Encoding stupid slow

This questions has been asked before here but there has not been any satisfactory answer to it yet as far as I can tell.
The issue is that some of us (not Harm, I know) see extremely slow export speeds using AME CS5 versus exporting directly out of Premiere.
In my case this is true regardless of what format I encode to.
All source files are AVCHD. Regardless if I try to batch encode to WMV, Blu Ray H.264, or MPEG2-DVD, export times are at least 3 times slower than if I just export directly out of PPro. This defeats the purpose of having a batch encoder in the first place.
This is the case on ALL My workstations, including this one:
1) Intel 980X; Win7 Pro; 24Gig Ram, 128Gb SSD boot + 450Gb VelRaptor + 640Gb WD Cav Black + 1TB Cav Black (to spread media, scratches,etc. etc. around); 1Gb NVIDIA GTX 285; nothing but production software, no antivirus or anything else. Mercury Playback Engine is always activated. No non-GPU accelerated effects are used.
I played around with the Windows task manager priority settings and that didn't help.
So if there is ANYONE who has a solution to this, that would be wonderful.
Thanks

That's correct...
Stan, though the AME engine handles the encoding work directly from PrPro, it is also now a standalone program that you can run without ever having to open PrPro (you can even import projects into it and select sequences from it, negating the need to open PrPro in the first place, once editing is complete).
Fuel, you say you expect more from a professional solution... can you give an example of an encoder that works faster? I'm not familiar with any other encoders out there that are 64-bit, work seemlessly with the editing program, and that can take advantage of CUDA support.
Though you've attempted to demonstrate that its not a resources issue, I would encourage you to visit www.ppbm5.com and download and run the benchmarking stuff and post your results. I've only seen two or three reports of such a drastic difference in speed between AME and PrPro (usually it's just a few percentage points) and every other time I've seen it, though the configured system sounded great, the benchmarking app showed they were suffering. The thread covering those other folks was sometime early last fall, I believe. You may be able to find it if you search for you.
I can guarantee you that if this product was truly "stupid slow" there would be a lot more folks out there complaining about it, and you wouldn't find the huge group of professionals that you have here using it on a daily basis. They'd be going out to find something faster. The fact that they're still using it tells me that it's got a lot going for it. Just something for you to think about...

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.

Program to encode video to iPod that does batch encoding and...

...multiple file selecting. I have a folder that I would love to just select all at once and let the computer work. Any encoder that does that which is free? I am running Windows XP.
Thanks!

No. You won't get that kind of feature for free, not in one software. Maybe with a seperate tool. Go here and check to the left under tools for the type of file you a re converting.

Batch encode with compressor

I have many projects going in motion 2 and I exported them in a batch into compressor, I submited the batch and left it there for about 2.5 hours and there was no progress. Does the compressor take outragouly long to do batches or am I doing something wrong? I am exporting a SD session that has many moving video tracks. I am exporting it to 8 BIT uncompressed Quicktime.

i've had the same thing happen occasionally.
are you using the "export with compressor" option or are dragging your motion project files directly into compressor? i've experienced different performance using one method or the other.
nonetheless, i always export using compressor. it's frustrating however, as adding motion files to compressor always takes a few moments. for example, if i drag a handful of motion files into compressor (let's say 10 files for the sake of argument), the app displays the beachball for up to a minute or so before the files appear in the batch list. then, each time i select an individual file in that batch window, the app stalls again for 20-30 seconds.
i always save the batch once i've gotten the settings correct, exactly for the issue you describe. not often, but occasionally, i'll submit the batch and the batch monitor will display no progress. in which case i usually restart. i figure that qmasterd and compressord have screwed up and restart to get them back up. after restart, i open the saved compressor batch and submit again.
usually, the batch monitor pauses for a few moments, then displays normal progress. i've had fewer issues when using the "export with compressor" option in Motion, but then have to open and export each file individually, which is not a very efficient workflow.
overall, i'm quite frustrated with Motion+Compressor. I'm really trying to give it a fair shake, and will continue to streamline workflow. however, coming from AE, i simply can't stand Motion's non-existent batch capabilities (unless there's a glaring function that i'm missing).
for example, in AE, if i'm making chyrons i can keep everything in the same project, and pre-comp my backgrounds. if the client requests a background change, just change the backgound comp and eveything updates. if there are other changes, everything is right there and can be updated relatively easily. send all the chyron comps to the render queue and let it go, no problems.
with Motion, i already have many project files, one per chyron. so, at the very least, i'm going to have to open each project individually to make the changes. then export each individually. not efficient. (then take in to account my Multiple Open Document Woes, and it's a mess)
i'm aware of a third-party solution for automating this process, but it would really be nice for Motion to do this itself, rather than have an external app perform some XML hackery.
so, anyway, i use Compressor for exporting Motion rojects almost exclusively, but it's not without headaches. this is barely acceptable in a production environment.

Batch encode video for iPhone on Mac and Linux

Hello everyone.
This may look like SPAM or unsolicited ad, but let me say that I have no other interests that avoiding people hours of research and tries I did, the software is open source.
That said, I finally managed to create a set of scripts to easily convert video from avi files or even mkv, to .mp4 files iTunes compliant that you can load on your iPhone.
The great news about this, for us, non-english people, is that it takes subtitles and burn them into the movie, so you can watch your favorites divx movies with subtitles.
This is mainly intended to run on Linux, but works nice on Mac OS X too.

Encoder keeps crashing with camera MTS files during batch operation

I am trying to convert MTS files to WMV and I am constantly getting crashes.
"Microsoft WIndows: Close programs to prevent information loss... Your computer is low on memory...Adobe Media Encoder.exe"
and
"Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event: Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-785]"
I do have 8gb of memory with no other programs running and this is 1080/60 converted to 720/30 video and TaskManager shows I have memory to spare.
I have a lot of these and it's neccessary that I do a batch encode. The thing is that I can usualy encode the first item in the list but as the second one begins it crashes.
So it is possible for these files to be encoded successfully (the file plays fine) but the batch process is failing. It is not dependant on the specific file but just any file that isn't the first one in the list it seems.

(these values fluctuate as i was recording them so they are off a little bit in relation to each other)
I have also set my page file to go from 256mb MIN to 1024mb MAX because I have a SSD for Windows and i wanted to save space. I heard it was not neccessary if you have a lot of ram... I will have 16gb of ram again soon (as i just sent the other 8gb in for replacement). So maybe this could be an issue..?

Encore Batch Transcode - Media Encoder doesn't perform

I use Encore to fit client video tapes to DVD. The 'Automatic' settings generate the best results by making use of the disc's capacity while maximizing bitrates. Encore does not have a batch option for multiple projects, therefore it is necessary to manually start transcoding for each disc project, save, open the next project and repeat.
My hope was to batch encode multiple video files from multiple Encore projects with Media Encoder, but it seems that Media Encoder requires the Encore project to be open as well. Otherwise, the transcoding within Media Encoder stops when Encore is closed or a new Encore project is created / opened.
I find this to be counter productive, given that timelines in Premiere can be sent to the Media Encoder which frees Premiere to be used for other video editing. Additionally, Encore can not send a file Media Encoder without encoding settings being set witnin Encore - thus, I am not finding the advantage of having Media Encoder be a part of the workflow.
Aside from calculating the bitrates for each video file in the project and transcoding the files seperate of Encore, are there any suggestions to using Encore and Media Encoder for batch processing?
Thank you in advance.

Agreed. My outreach to the Adobe community is to locate any alternate solutions I've not thought of. I'm sure others have run into the same predicament I have outlined.
I'm open to solutions that are not involving Adobe products. Although, the encoding quality from within Encore is better than most other stand alone apps available on the market. Thus, my desire to stick with it, if possible.

Batch export of individual clips? Premiere timeline to Media Encoder??

I have a bunch of clips on a CS6 timeline.
I want to batch encode them out.
I'm trying to figure out how to take those clips to Media Encoder so I can batch export them out all at once.
I've heard I can pull them all into a folder in CS6 and then batch export them out of that folder - though I can't seem to drag the clips en masse from the timeline to the folder (as I can in FCP7) - Premiere seems to only allow one clip to be dragged at a time. Very tedious. And the suggestion I read on the Forum doesn't quite match MY Premiere CS6 (the menu items are not the same).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated...
Ben

Hi joe bloe,
It is similar. And then my question is: how do I get all the clips on the timeline into a bin in one drag and drop (not one at a time)? And once it's in the bin, what are the menu steps to batch export?
I have a vague memory of using the Media Encoder to batch out some clips several days ago - but can't remember if they came directly from a Premiere timeline...
Apologies. I'm in the middle of a complicated job, with three different type cameras going, two of which I haven't used before, and thus my brain is a bit fried for searching through manuals.

PPro Sequences Not Exporting Correctly to Media Encoder CC

So, recently I've been having issues with PPro/Media Encoder CC after the last update. The issue is that once I try to export my H.264 sequences from PPro CC to Media Encoder, the sequence gets completely changed to the Animated GIF codec. When I attempt to change it back, H.264, and a number of other codecs, are no longer available in the Media Encoder list. If I then attempt to use one of the presets on the right dock-panel, such as H.264 > NTSC DV 720x480, the following error message prompts:
Media Encoder has encountered an error:
[..\..\src\Command.cpp-754]
Has anyone else encountered this batch encoding issue and, if so, has there been any updates/patches to resolve the issue?

Except that it's not an activation issue.
PPro and Media Encoder were working completely fine before. All my stuff is activated and I don't even use Encore, so I'm thinking some sort of glinch must've occurred during the last couple updates.
I think I'm just gonna reinstall PPro and Media Encoder and see if that solves the problem.

Media Encoder CS4 output file size varies--why??

I was batch encoding several files yesterday, and one of the files failed. Adobe Media Encoder provided no details, other than when I hover over the yellow exclamation point error icon, it says: "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." Very insightful.
Today I reprocessed the file same file with the same preset [FLV - Same As Source (Flash 7 and Higher)] and it worked fine. To check for instability on my machine, I actually ran the same job 10 times, and each job succeeded. But the curious thing is, even though I was using the same input file and output preset, I see that the output files vary in size. The output sizes are:
30,739,977 bytes
30,750,834 bytes
30,750,504bytes
30,750,654bytes
30,739,928bytes
30,740,044bytes
30,750,615bytes
30,740,001bytes
30,739,979bytes
30,750,637bytes
Now I understand that this variation is less than 10kB on a 30MB file, so it's prety small. But I am curious as to why the file size would vary in this way.
Any ideas?

I would guess that you are overclocking your cpu and the cooler is not able to make the cpu cool enough and some calculations can go wrong. There are programs that put the cpu in a high load and check if it's running properly as expected. Give them a try.

GoPro Hero 3 Black 4k and Adobe Media Encoder CS6

As a current Creative Cloud member and a Premiere Pro user, I wanted to see if the Adobe Media Encoder can be used as an alternative to GoPro's Cineform Studio (free version), mainly as a batch encoder for use in Adobe Premiere Pro. The main issue with the GoPro footage in Adobe Premiere Pro is that its codec is not compatible with playback in Premiere, there's a conflicting codec that GoPro uses that unfortunately causes it to have choppy playback in Adobe Premiere Pro. Another issue is that the Adobe Cineform Studio (free version) is that one can only export one video at a time. And, finally I wanted to have more export options than what's available in the Cineform.
This is what I've come up with:
• 4Kcin and 4K show no preview footage in the encoder, and will export as black video - the encoder sees "no video"
• 2.7cin & 2.7k and below all show preview and export appropriately.
The main issue is that Adobe Media Encoder does not recognize the 4kcin or 4k footage from the GoPro camera. But it can encode 4k or above footage since it has a REDCODE plugin.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Flash Video Encoder

Hi,
i hope someone can help me.
When i make flv file in Video Encoder (3 min) i see the
process i the window.
But when i open Flash and Browse the flv file it stop after 1
min.
I have make this before but now it´s problems.
Whats wrong?
Bets Regards
L G Blom

If you want to batch encode FLV files on a server (not
necessarily via a web UI), I'd recommend Sorenson Squeeze. You can
create batch jobs with watch folders. It works nicely. I believe
you can do the same thing with On2 Flix Pro too. You'll get better
quality out of these products as well.

Is there a way to batch export in FCE HD?

I'm working on some video where each export is around 30 minutes long. I'm exporting all of them in the same format. Currently, I create the first 30 minute clip on the timeline and then export it. After waiting for that to finish, which is at least an hour, I create the next clip the same way. Is there a way to create all my clips and then export all of them at once in sequence? I'd like to save my rendering for the nighttime while I'm sleeping. No since in letting the computer sleep if I can make it work while I'm sleeping!
Thanks.

It would help if you could explain your goals. You may be doing it the hard way, but my recommendations may not be appropriate for what you are trying to do.
You can create multiple sequences and export each sequence, but I don't think you can render multiple sequences at one time. I've never tried to do that. You could also assemble all of your clips in a single sequence and use the in and out points to select which "clip" you want to export from the sequence. This would allow you to render everything at once, for sure.
However, I'm not clear on the problem. If the problem is the time it takes to export each clip and the fact that you must start each export manually, then I'd have to ask why each export takes 1 hour. You may be able to export just a reference movie, and use Compressor to batch encode all of your clips, if that is the time killer.
Again, if you can tell me a little more about your target format, and target requirements, someone might be able to offer time saving suggestions.
A reference movie makes a quick export, but you must be able to keep your rendered files until the final encoding process has completed.

Batch export of multiple clips from one video in Premiere CS4

Hello,
I'm really in a bind and hope you guys can help me out. I have about 30 hours of video in about 30 mpg files..1 hour in each video. I need to splice out small clips from each video..anywhere from 10 to 20 clips in each and send them to Media Encoder to store as video files I can then re-use. In CS3 I can do this manually one clip at a time ..set In point, Out point and then export. This however takes a very very long time....set the ins/outs, then export, then wait, then repeat..very tedious
In CS4 can i set multiple ins/outs for the entire video and then have premiere go to work and do a batch export? Or is there another way of doing this? I have about a week left to get this done and at a total of about 450 clips to export each 2-5 mins for encoding this will take forever...plase help!
Stan

It wont do exazctly what you want but.... But the batch encoding should save you some time since you can continue to work while it encodes/exports.
Do you need to make more than one output type? Like DV, WMV, FLV... for each one? If so, I suggest this workflow:
1. Open source file 1 in Source monitor set in and out, ctrl drag subclip to a folder in the project panel.
2. Repeat step 1 for any other subclips needed from source clip 1
3. When done with first source clip go into bin where you put your subclips click on them one at a time and do export/media to your lowest compressed need (like DV AVI for example); it will be added to AME queue
4. Repeat step 3 for all subclips, then click start queue.
5. While AME is exporting all the subclips for your first source clip, repeat steps 1-3 on source clip 2...
When you are all done; if you need to make multiple output types for each file; Do (IN AME) File>New>Watch Folder
Create a Watch folder for each output type you want. Then simply copy all the exported clips you want inot each of these folders and AME will process them all for you in batch.
It doesnt do exactly what you wished for; but should save you a few buckets of time.
