Best settings to export media to adobe media encoder

Hi I am after some help
what is the best settings to use to export footage to media encoder from premiere cs4 to adobe media encoder as a flash file.
at the moment media encoder continually stops after about 10 minutes with 30 or more minutes to go.
the footage is 3 mins long HDV and I have used after effects to key out the footage.
I have tryed flash 8 and higher with the bit rate set at 900
thanks Rodney

It's pretty easy. Once installed, the Cineform codec becomes available to any video program that accepts new codecs.
For handling HDV material Cineform products come with a program called HDLink with which you can batch-encode previously captured HDV .m2t, .mpeg, or .mov files OR capture straight to a Cineform-codec encoded .avi. The HDLink program also allows scene detection -unavailable when capturing HDV material in Premiere.
It also creates a preset in Adobe Media Encoder which, for me, came in useful when I had an h.264 .mov that would not convert in HDLink.
The more expensive Cineform products include an advanced rendering engine for Premiere which significantly improves handling of Cineform-codec material.

  • Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
    I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
    Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
    I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
    So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
    Thanks!

    First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
    Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
    Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

  • Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

    I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
    hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

  • Best settings for exporting from AE

    Hi,
    I am wondering what the best settings to export to from AE for editing in Premiere CS5.5. Previously I would digitize from tape and would export lossless .avi from AE but now I am using XDCAM EX 1080 50i sequence presets on Premiere and I wonder if I should amend the settings from AE or just keep them as lossless?
    As always thanks in advance!

    Keep it lossless.

    thats way too vague of a question... best what?  quality? size? playback?
    best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

  • Best settings to export for the web?

    Hey everyone,
    What do you think is the best setting to export video to web? I export now using quicktime and once in a while (I would like to use it more often since its much easier) compressor. So what is the best settings to export video to the web without having it get all blurry? I also use an XL2 so the video is good.

    JB
    but I'm concerned about whether H264 is accessible by an audience outside the Mac umbrella.
    They need QT7 installed.
    You can get Flip4Mac and add WMV export capabilities to QT. I'm sure that with a little of experimentation you'll get good results and the needed component isn't expensive.
    Hope that helps !

  • Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

    Hello everyone!
    As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
    Let  me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export  them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
    When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
    Which  is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file  size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
    [Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
    AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

    If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
    Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
    Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
    See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
    "FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
    "FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
    By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

  • Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.

    Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.  How can I trouble shoot this.  I have no idea why this is failing.  I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

    Harm, I followed your advice.  I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions.  Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software.  I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
    Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
    Thanks for your response.

  • What's the best settings to Export movie for smaller file sizes?

    Hi, I've been working on some helmet cam footage which was taken with Xvidmpeg4.avi and was advised to convert it to dvavi for editing in PrE, this created a huge file to work with, the original footage was 206mb and the finished edited dvavi file is now 1.56gb, what settings can I use to export the movie with a much smaller file size, but hopefully try to retain some quality, to upload to places like Vimeo? I thought I would try to export it in the same as the original footage Xvidmpeg4.avi thinking this might compress it again to something like the 206mb of the original and the original was good quality footage, but PrE just hangs up with a box stating 'Xvid Status (Not Responding)' and when I try to cancel that the whole thing crashes and closes? So when I go to File > Export > Movie, what would be the best settings in:
    General > File Type ?
    Video > Compressor
    lots of options under compressor if I select the file type as Microsoft AVI, so I'm guessing something under that would compress it to a smaller file size but what, I could spend all night trying different settings so hoping for some advice?
    Or, if I'm completely in the wrong place for the settings and should be doing something else please tell me?
    Thanks, Gav

    Thanks for the replies, but to me it's still confusing - simply because there are so many settings, if I go to Share/Personal Computer I'm then presented with a whole load of settings
    NTSC Flash Video
    MPEG
    DVAVI
    Windows Media
    QuickTime
    and under each of those is a lot more advanced settings?
    I'm guessing I wouldn't use flash or quicktime, so which of the others would I use and what are the advanced settings to use as I can't find anything that is .wmv or .mov
    What I've done with other videos that I've exported from PrE as dvavi is then to put it through Windows Movie Maker, Publish Movie, This Computer, then put the settings to Windows Media DVD Quality (PAL) (3.0 Mps) - this seemed to be the only setting that reduced the file size considerably but still had good quality, but it's still about twice the original file size?
    This all seems long winded to me, open original file, convert original file, output another file, then output the file again in something else which then results in loss of quality and a larger file than the original? I'm ending up with lots of files, was hoping just to edit in Premiere then export/publish that edited clip and that would be it, then upload to the net.
    Is it not possible to just edit my original footage and save it, just like you would with something like a word document, should I be using something else and not Premiere?
    Thanks.

  • Red r3d 3k fails on CUDA export Media encoder CC

    Been having some problems with Red 3k.
    Several times recently for some low budget stuff I have shot 3k and put it in a 720P timeline.
    All of my 3k material will fail under media encoder CUDA export.....it works under software but a 20 minute CUDA encode is 7 hours with 3k in software encoding
    4k 5k all work fine no problems.....just the 3k stuff. And this has been the case over several shoots for months.
    It is also the same with 1080p sequences and at any frame rate, and it also fails from PPRO direct export (not queued)
    Thanks
    Win 8 64 core i7 6core 980 24GB ram, 2x GTX 470 1X GTX 590 SSD's

    Yes, AME queue is a problem.  I have a 28 minute weekly broadcast for a client that must be encoded in 6 different formats for TV Broadcast, mpeg2 DVD, vimeo, mp3, h.264 for vimeo, etc.  If I attempt to encode all 6 in the queue I will have some success and also failure.   If I queue several videos that all require mpeg2 (though with each requiring several different specs, i.e., upper field vs. lower field, mpeg2 dvd, mpeg2 HD, etc.) it will complete the task.  Yet if I add h.264 to the mix all encodes will fail.  I can encode h.264 by itself with no problems.  So yes, you are not alone.  Not sure what the solution is.  In CS6 one could queue all of these formats and walk away.  Can Adobe acknowledge these issues and then propose a solution?

  • Long Projects exported Media Encoder 5.0.1 fail to finish

    Exporting 90 minute P2 AVC-INTRA 100 sequence or a 90 Motion JPEG sequence fails to finish.  Both exports fail around 50%.  Media Encoder 5.0.1 fails to finish.  This is reminicent of PP 2 and CS3 days when long sequences would not finish.  In this case I ended up breaking up the sequence into two parts and the exports complete.  Suspect that media encoder 5.0.1 over time generates error that there is not enough disk space when there actually is.  Media Encoder indicates error compiling movie.  Maybe not refreshing itself during the export process.  Developers need to fix this asap.  Memory management may also be an issue with this problem.
    If anyone is having this same exporting problem suggest you break up project into chunks for now until this is fixed by Adobe.
    Cannot finish long projects with this bug not being fixed.

    Have not tried that.  System configuration guys I talk to on a regular basis have told me that because Media Encoder is caching the project in memory that the appropriate way to to run and export via Media Encoder, when exporting your project, is to queue the export to Media Encoder from Premiere then start the encode in Media Encoder first then close Premiere CS5.  Something to do with the way they link or something.  However the problem I am having is exporting a long project (90 minutes).  Adobe had an issue a few versions back with this same issue of exporting a large project.  I suspect it has to do with the app no rechecking it's own processes or some piece of code that is stopping the export after a certain time or certain size when it should not.  Reported the bug to adobe and I hope they fix it asap.  I could be wrong as I am using a GTX 480 card and because mercury playback is not officially supported I could be having issues related to the card.  However, until I hear someone exporting a 90 minute or 2 hour movie in AVC-INTRA 100 or motion jpeg or Cineform without a problem I am pretty sure this is a bug.

  • When is it best to render OR media encode

    Adobe CS5  has the ability to encode AE comps and add to the queue without even having AE open. But i wonder what situations are better to render AE comps from the AE render queue or the standalone Media Encoder. Should a user expect better 64 bit performance from one? i know that codecs can limit that from happening, but i find that Media Encoder works all my processors into a frenzy when i render a comp from either AE or Premiere.
    Would love to know whats going on under the hood so i can streamline my workflow. I have been buoyed by my recent attempts to collapse transformations and pre-render, and i want to improve my efficiency even more.

    There are pros and cons to using the standalone Adobe Media Encoder. See this page for an overview of the ways of rendering and exporting from After Effects, including using AME.
    One pro to using the standalone Adobe Media Encoder is that it can do two-pass encoding. So, if you're creating movies for final distribution and want to make them especially small, then you can use the standalone Adobe Media Encoder.
    One con to using the standalone Adobe Media Encoder is that it doesn't have the ability to set multiple output modules for one render item. Within After Effects, you can set multiple outputs for each render item, which means that the actual rendering operation only happens once, but the encoding/compression/writing output files can happen for multiple output types from one internally held set of rendered frames. Adobe Media Encoder can't do that; if you have five output types, then the compsotion will get rendered again for each.
    My workflow for creating F4V and FLV files is to render and export a losslessly encoded movie from After Effects, and have the destination for that output file be a watch folder. AME picks the item out of that watch folder and then compresses and encodes the FLV and F4V files according to the presets that I've set.

  • Memory & Export & Media Encoder

    Problem 1:
    Is there in CS4 a way to export a standard DV AVI file (standard DV 4:3 source material) without having to use Media Encoder?   In older versions of Premiere (CS2 for example) all I had to do was "Export to Movie" which created an AVI file.  Now, I use "Export to Media", Media Encoder opens and has to load the whole darn project, then "encode" my timeline .. this take a LOT LONGER than I want.
    Because I'm new to CS4, am I missing something?
    Problem 2:
    After I work in CS4 Premiere for a while (about 2 -3 hours), I get a warning that "Adobe Premiere is Low on Memory.  Please save your project and proceed with caution." ...    What's that all about?  I have to close the project and reopen to 'flush' the mem?
    TIA,
    jd

    1. No.
    2. It looks like either PPro or a third-party plug-in is leaking memory.

  • Changing Frame Padding On Image Sequence Exports, Media Encoder

    Hello Adobe World,
    I am using dynamic link from After Effects to Media Encoder and I am trying to export an image sequence with a specific numbering system for input into software code. Is there any way to change the frame padding or change the numbering system for Image sequence exports?
    We are trying to speed up our workflow by Batch rendering from AME. AE does let us set our frame numbering and gives us an option for creating sub-folders (it's surprising the AE is much more organized in it's export options that AME). We need to be able to render more than one thing at a time and need to keep working in AE while the files are rendering. I have not found a workable background rendering plug-in for CC14. We could use AME if there is a way to fix the Number system.  We are working on a PC Windows 8. I can provide more system specs if it is necessary.
    Side note: in AE we can use [#] to set the numbering value and in AME it does not work.
    Thank you for your help!
    Still looking for an answer on this.... it's been 2 months.... Adobe team? Anyone?

    Change it to this?

    There was a Red Giant bug in the Magic Bullet suite that caused problems with AME. Make sure you've fixed that.
    Try a simple comp that is just a solid layer with no effects or animation and nothing else in the composition. If that works then give us all the details on your comp or try eliminating one effect at a time until you find the problem.
