Can Media Encoder append a still image to EVERY sequence run through it?

Hi!
We are trying to streamline our video publishing process and I was wondering if ME can automatically add a clip or still image to every sequence it exports?
For example, at the end of every video we have our company logo / social media call to actions. Is there a way to have these added in ME as opposed to doing in the Premiere timeline? The way that they SHOULD be put together is fairly subtle and at the frame by frame level.
It would be a huge timesaver if we could automatically place these and avoid the inevitable mistakes that come with re placing each time through.
Thanks so much!

Hi action_packed,
This is from the documentation: http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/add-items-encoding-queue.html
Still Image Sequences are not supported as source footage through Watch Folders. If a set of still images is placed in the folder being watched, each individual still file will be added as a separate item to the Queue rather than than the entire sequence as a single piece of footage.
Make a feature request for that here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
Thanks,

Can Media Encoder take an image sequence in the watch folder and turn it into a video file?

I'm using OSX and Media Encoder 6 (from premier 6) and can't figure out how to make the watch folder take a .jpeg or .dpi sequence and turn it into a single video file.
I tried copying all the stills into the watch folder, that made 60 individual video files (one for each image).
I tried making a folder inside the watch folder, and copying all the images into it.. to which Media Encoder did nothing.
What am I missing? Will Media Encoder take image sequences and render them out as a audio-less video for me?
Thanks for any imput.

Can Media Encoder batch update metadata on .mov files?

I discovered an issue with Audition creating a new starting time code on audio files extracted out of Canon 70D .mov files.   Details are here: Re: Audition jumps time code forward on audio extracted from a .mov file
For what is worth, Premier Pro has no problem with these files.
The cause seems to be tied to the 70D putting the timecode information into the "Alternate Timecode" fields in the metadata instead of the primary timecode fields.
Can Media Encoder be set up to batch process a group of .mov files?
I need it to:
     1. Open the original .mov file.
     2. Read the Alternate Timecode "Time Value" metadata field.
     3. Store the read data in the Start Timecode "Time Value" field.
     4. Read the Alternate Timecode "Time Format" metadata field
     5. Store the read data in the Start Timecode "Time Format" field.
If necessary I can write a program to do this, but after 38 years of doing it I hate writing programs when I don't have to, especially for something like this.

And of course I left out the last part which is:
     6. Alternatively save the updated file to a new name by appending "-FixTC" to the name portion of the file name.extension.
     7. Open next file in batch list.
     Rinse, lather, repeat...

How do you export a still image from a sequence ?

I could easily export a frame as still image in CS3 (File / export / ...)
But how do you do this in CS4 ??... Adobe found another way of making something simple so difficult !... I try to export media, then select a still image format, make sure ''export sequence'' is *not* selected, but when I look at the output, what I get is not where I had stopped the cursor and appeared on the monitor, but I get the first frame of the sequence instead.
What am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks,
Rob

Your way should work, it worked for me.
Try reading this:
Select a clip in the Project panel or a Timeline.
Choose File > Export > Media.
In the Export Settings dialog box, select a still-image format from the Format menu. See Export Settings Format options.
If tabs are not visible below the Summary pane, click the Advanced Mode button.
On the Video tab, deselect the Export As Sequence option (if it is selected).
(Optional) To deinterlace the frame, select Progressive from the Field Type menu.
(Optional) To correct the pixel aspect ratio for display on computer screens, select Square Pixels from the Aspect menu.
Click the Output Name hot text.
Browse to the location where you want to save the still-image file, type a filename for it, and click Save.
In the Export Settings viewing area, drag the playhead to the frame you want to export as a still image.
Click OK.
Check no.10 did you drag the playhead in the export settings viewing area? Or did you do that on the timeline?
Good luck.

Media Encoder Question-With Explainable Images

OS: Vista 32bit
Producet:Adobe Premiere Pro Cs3
Issue: concerning export settings
For: Facebook videos. req. H.264 video with AAC audio in MOV or MP4 format, 30fps, 44,100hz
I've have been exporting stuff for a while by File>Export Adobe Media Encoder, when timeline is fully selected. Not sure if this helps but including anyways.
My concern is the settings to get a proper enough quality for facebook. 720HQ video
Settings are shown in the pictures:
Now my real problem is audio, which I need as the video has people singing and playing music.
Now I dont know if its some pre-setting, codec i'm missing, or etc.
But I do notice two thing when I exported audio:
-the Audio quality, which i've worked through soundbooth so its a wav file, is reduced after compiling in Adobe Premiere. In which i noticed odd fluctuations when there are peaks of the sort. Noticed that Apple Lossless kept the quality but was not an accepted audio format by facebook.
-I'm missing AAC format whichi i've been searching on the interenet with no solution
Two kind answers I'm looking for:
-solution to finding out why AAC audio codec isn't an option and add it as a choice
-find the best recommended audio export settings

adjust these settings to suit your own video...export setting fps should match your source and project.
my test on 1920x1080p 24fps came out fine , plays well on computer using classic media player.

Can Media Encoder send me a text message when encoding is finished?

Hello everyone,
I seem to remember there being a plug-in for after effects that allows it to send a text message to any phone number when all jobs in the render queue are finished (although its been a long time since, and I may be making that up). Does anyone know of a similar plug-in for Media Encoder? Or perhaps a way to do it natively?
If not, feature requests here I come (except when I look under feature requests, I only see Adobe Media Server... is this what I should choose for Media Encoder?).
Oh, and I'm talking CS6, Mac OSX 10.8.2
Cheers,
-Dylan

The only way I know to do this is with that tried and true method called the 'assistant editor'.

Maximum number of still images in a sequence exceeded

Model Name: iMac
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processors: 2.8 Ghz
Memory: 4GB
Bus Speed: 800MHz
FCP 7.0.3
So what's the maximum number of still images that are allowed in a single sequence in FCP 7?
Does it vary from FCP 6, 5, Express etc.?

You have to zoom in to read the yellow message box that appears when the mouse is loitering over the orange unlimited-time bar above the sequence.
For your pleasure I have typed it out:
"Video: Unlimited
Audio: Media File
_*The maximum number of real-time still images has been exceeded in this sequence.*_
A motion of composting effect can not be played in real time.
Real time playback is not supported for the clip on track 1.
The nested sequence on track 2 does not match this sequence settings.
The nested sequence on track 11 does not match this sequence settings."
Basically we're doing the "Artists Showcase" and artists send in photos and not all of them will be able to match the sequence settings since we take what we can get.
Besides that the estimated number of still images is 480.

Media Encoder CC won't import a JPEG sequence to the queue

I am running Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (64-bit) on OSX 10.9.4.
I have a JPEG sequence GoPro timelapse image sequence that I want to encode into a video clip. All files have a .jpg extension. They are 4000x3000 and have an RGB color space. The Color profile is SRGB IEC61966-21. All images are 3.9MB.
According to the ME help I should do the following.
To add an image sequence, choose File > Add Source. In the Open dialog box, choose the first file of the image sequence. Enable the Sequence Import checkbox for your file type, and then click the Open button.
I follow the instructions and select the first image in the sequence. The "JPEG File Sequence" checkbox is active and I check it and click the Open button. The dialog disappears and nothing happens. There are no warnings.
How does one get JPEG sequences to import to the queue?
Please advise.
-Travis

Yes, import into premiere work fine. The nice part about using AME directly is you don't have to have to create a project or use an old one every time you want to crunch a timelapse. Also, AME has this nice feature where it will autoname the output file IMG[FirstStill]-[LastStill] (ie IMG[GP001234-GP001297]). This was helpful because GoPros change the first number in the sequence every time you stop and start time lapse.

Can Media Encoder encoded for Vimeo and You Tube? Pre set settings?

Is it possible to encode to Vimeo or youtube with Encoder 5.5?
Does it have a preset for You Tube in 5.5 like it does in Media Encoer CS 6?

Premiere Pro 7.0 won't import all still images into a sequence

I have Adobe Premiere Pro 7.0. I am attempting to use it for a stop motion film that me and a friend are making. The problem occurs when I try to Import the pictures as an animated sequence using the numbered still check box. For some reason it only imports about 1/4 of the pics or less. But, for other pictures, it imports them all just fine. I checked the file sizes and the pictures are all around the same size (1,000-1,500KB) Also, I tried just putting the pics in one by one and decreasing the speed to about 12 frames per second. After rendering the work area it worked at first but about halfway though, the sample monitor flashed green and went blank. If you can help me I will be very greatful. I REALLY don't want to have to use Windows Movie maker again. :/ Thanks.

I stopped using it some time ago, when I upgraded from Photoshop Elements, but yes, as I recall, it offers batch processing:

Adobe Media Encoder CC2014 SDK / API / WebService - schedule prproj sequence automatically

Hello Everyone,
I would like to know if it's currently possible to access AME SDK or API ?
I seen binaries named :
- ame_webservice_console.exe
- AMEWebService.exe (it's a windows service)
But there isn't any documentation about that. It is implemented or in the roadmap for developers?
I explain the goal :
I would like automatically schedule a transcode from a .prproj sequence directly on AME without import manually the file by the menu.
That's really interesting to moiunt an external and centralized render farm cluster.
The architecture could be the following :
- n Adobe Premiere Pro CC NLE
- n AME transcode nodes
- 1 manager to 'watchfolder' the .prproj and select sequence to schedule transcode to a node
The needs for API are :
- submit a job for .prproj file and select the sequence to transcode
- monitor the current tasks in AME (with status, progression, many informations about sourceFilePath, destinationFilePath, Transcode Profile etc.).
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Adrien

Adobe Media Encoder and .TS files

After updating the Adobe Media Encoder to the 2014.1 Release, every time I try to encode (convert) a .ts file I get audio issues post render no matter what I render out to. It's only an issue when encoding (converting) .ts files. I can convert an .mpg, .mov, etc. and it comes out fine. Before this release I could render out .ts files just fine and had no issues. Can someone help me understand what changed and why I can't convert .ts files anymore without getting distorted audio after converting? The sound renders out as a reverb effect kind of like the audio was cut in space.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Still not working for me. Please help? I use Adobe Media Encoder on a daily basis.

Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format.

This is on a Windows 8.1 PC.
The edit exported fine until I made one big mistake.
I created a Nested Edit to make a quick alteration.
Since then the following is now the case and I cannot go back to an earlier edit to fix this.
Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format. Using either the Export Option or Media Encoder. Get a dialog that says "Unknown Error Compiling Movie"
There is nothing wrong with my footage. This edit worked fine and I export through Media Encoder many times until I made a Nested Edit within the Premiere Project.
I have tried all sorts of searches on the net for a fix to this but nothing seems to be current or indeed works.
Any help would be appreciated as this is a show stopper.

Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.
I have found a work around but it still leaves a long term issue for Adobe to fix.
As to your first solution:
1). The nested edit is already in its own timeline panel. It will not export or encode via media encoder. This is the problem.
2). I will try the KEM roll feature but I have a work around see following.
3). No I do not have a nested edit within a nested edit.
I did a lot of research on the net on this issue as it happened to a colleague of mine on his machine about two weeks ago. It took me six hours to get a fix and in his case there were six video clip that had read errors. When I overwrote those clips from the original backup master it fixed the problem. However I was never able to use Media Encoder again to export his project without it failing. I could only use the Export feature. Again he had used a nested edit in his project.
I my case I do not have any nested edits within a nested edit. All I did was drag my main edit onto the New Sequence icon at the bottom of the Project Bin. This of course created a nested edit in a new Timeline Panel which is what I wanted. I then slid the entire nested edit to the right in the timeline by two seconds as all a wanted to do was add two seconds of black at the head of the edit. That was it. From that point of creating the nested edit Media Encoder and the Export option failed every time with the fore mentioned error.
The final work around was one of those I found previous mention of during my research. I created a new clean Premiere Pro CC 2014 project, I then used the import option under the file menu. I imported only the original main edit which brought in that edit along with all the required footage. This would then export to disk using the Export feature. However, Media Encoder will still not encode this new edit, it fails the same way every time, 'Unknown Error Compiling Movie'.
As a test I loaded the old corrupt edit project back up and deleted the nested edit sequence completely and re-saved it. This had no effect and did not fix the problem. This particular project file will no longer export directly or via media encoder at all no matter what I do.
This seems pretty serious to me. I worked on this edit for a whole month without issue, encoding out roughs as a went without any issue, it was only yesterday after I made the nested edit that the project file is now useless as it will not encode out at all. Yes I have a work around and was able to salvage my project and get it rendered in time for my deadline but the fact I have a partially working Project that Media Encoder will not touch does not instill me with confidence for long term use of Premiere Pro if this is going to happen again.
Is there some place I can send this project file to Adobe to see if they can find out what is wrong with it? I am not the only person having this issue I have seen other post going all the way back through CS6 it seems.

Adobe Media Encoder Excessively Slow After New Update

Recently (since the last update it seems like) Media Encoder has been excessively slow for me. For example - I loaded 4 videos in the the queue from Premiere that were about 5-10 minutes each. These videos were shot on DSLR and was a one shot the whole time with RGB curves on them and intro/out graphics. The render settings that I had for them were: h.264, 1080, 24fps, 4mbps min 5mbps max, VBR One pass. I hit the play button for them when I left work at 7 that night and the next day at 9 in the morning (14 hours later) only one had succesfully exported and the other one was only 20% done. I go into Premiere though and I can export the videos just fine and at a time that makes sense for my computer.
The computer that I have is an early macbook pro 2011 15 inch with 8gb of RAM, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, with 750gb harddrive (with 200gb free space).
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Media Encoder and it still takes forever. The most recent video that I got to export with it was a 40 second clip and at those same settings it took about 3 hours to export.
What can I do to fix this problem?

Wow!
People who bought CS5.5 during the free upgrade to CS6 period are still waiting for their free upgrade, and already an update
Seems like the PPro team is really watching what goes on here, and responding as quickly as possible

Can Media Encoder append a still image to EVERY sequence run through it?
