Can't Edit While Encoding With Media Encoder

Does anyone else get this happening to them:
When I begin the encoding process with Media Encoder, then go back to editing in Premiere Pro CC, EVERY time I hit the space bar to play a clip, Media Encoder Pauses its Encoding. Then when I stop playing the clip in Premiere Pro, Encoder begins encoding again. I'm fairly positive that Adobe touts that you can be encoding and editing at the same  time, but I can't believe that this is happening. Anyone else?
Also, Encoder refuses to use my destination folder preference, instead targeting a folder I had used long ago and I have to manually target for every encode, every day.
THANKS!!!

Encoding is a real CPU/disc hog ... heh, it's an intensive process. Trying to both encode and playback in real-time ... um ... if you've got a rig with say four CPU's with 128GB RAM, two really hot v-cards that the Adobe program actually love to play with, and all programs/cache/footage/outputs on RAIDed SSD internal drives, you can maybe do both at the same time.
Think about what playback is doing ... it's not just playing the video off the disc ... not hardly. It's taking bits of video from this spot on the disk, skipping to this section of another video file there, to that one here ... and while doing that it's also immediately "reading" whatever changes you've made in editing, whether sound, size changes, color/grading, masks, EVERYTHING ... and applying that to the video it's grabbing of a disc somewhere AS it is playing it. Using a ton of CPU, disc read/write throughput, and probably a chunk of the v-card's GPU & vRAM. What's left for AME to use?
I've seen a lot of complaints around here as to why editing playback isn't smooth ... hey, in VLC, play that file, it plays back easy, what the * is PrPro doing?
Um ... VLC is playing the "straight" file, PrPro is playing back the file with all the other stuff added to it ... which isn't yet added to the file in reality, it's only instructions as to what to do to the file. So ... PrPro is essentially doing much the same work as when AME renders to an output simply to play the file in the program monitor.

  • Can I create a fade from black with Media Encoder?

    I am having a problem with Adobe DPS making  my videos jump up (shift up a bit) in the first few seconds of the video. As a workaround I want to create a fade-from-black effect to hide the first seconds of the video. Can I create a fade in Media Encoder?

  • Is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder

    is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder? We have many  camera clips needing luts applied then wrapped to ProRes422 for editing. right now we are using after effects, rendering out then wrapping in Encoder, but this workflow is quite time consuming.We've tried rendering proRes out of AE but the boss isn't happy with the results without also going through Encoder.

    No, there is not a way to apply color changes (e.g., using LUTs) in Adobe Media Encoder. Do this in After Effects, but just add your After Effects compositions directly to the Adobe Media Encoder encoding queue (e.g., by choosing File > Add After Effects Composition in the AME UI).

  • Media Encoder CS6 with Media Encoder CC

    Hi,
    I have finally gotten Media Encoder CC installed. I still have Media Encoder CS6 on my computer. Can I uninstall Media Encoder CS6 without having problems with Media Encoder CC or any other CC apps? There is no uninstall optiion for ME CS6.
    Thanks

    Uninstalling Media Encoder CS6 shouldn't cause any problem to any CC apps, including Media Encoder CC.
    There is no stand-alone uninstaller for Media Encoder CS6.  In order to uninstall it, you need to uninstall all CS6 apps on which Media Encoder CS6 is depending.  Those CS6 apps includes, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash, Prelude, SpeedGrade, and InDesign.  Media Encoder CS6 is installed as a part of those apps.  If you have any of those CS6 apps, please uninstall all of them.  This also uninstalls Media Encoder CS6.

  • Premiere CS4 with Media Encoder CS5?

    Hi,
    When I was given my CS4 suite (production premium) years back, it included Premire Pro.  Then, when I told my boss I needed to upgrade to CS5, he purchased the Web Premium Suite.  This was fine, for the most part, as Illustrator, Flash, and Photoshop are the main programs I use, but we just recently got a video project that is giving me some issues.
    We created what turned out being a 4 min + video.  After some trial and error we settled on creating multiple segments in Flash and exporting them as uncompressed MOV files from Flash.  Then we brought all of those MOV files together in a premiere pro project.  The problem seems to occur when I export out an MP4 video from Premire Pro CS4.  Premiere launches Media Encoder CS4 and then creates the MP4.  The MP4 plays on a cellular device like we want it to, but it will not display a thumbnail/preview of the video when viewing the video in the phones gallery.
    We have tried some other tests, and if we export out an MOV or AVI from Flash CS5 then convert that to an MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, there suddenly seems to be a thumbnail on the phone for the video.  After multiple tests, it appears the problem might be related to which version of Media Encoder our final MP4 is produced in.  ME CS4 - No thumbnail. ME CS5 - thumbnail.
    The problem is, we HAVE to use Premiere as our final compiling tool, but I cant seem to get a Premiere Pro CS4 file to work with Media Encoder CS5.
    Any thoughts???
    Thanks,
    Justin

    but to automatically open up AME CS5 ... hmmm.. maybe a hack?
    No, that will not work. Even if you have Audition 4.0 installed (beta), edit in Audition from CS5 will only access Audition 3.0.
    The only way to try it is to open AME CS5, go to File/Add Premiere Pro Sequence and select the CS4 project and then the correct sequence.

  • Clips exported with Media Encoder from AE are choppy (CS6)

    Hi!
    I'm using Media Encoder (6.0.3.1) to export clips from AE (11.0.4.2) so that I can work with them in PPro (6.0.5).
    In Media Encoder I go to add AE composition and I've tried the YouTube HD 1080p 25 and the Broadcast HD 1080p 25 presets (the latter creates a much bigger file but I don't think the file size is the issue - for example, the biggest clip of approx. 1 mintute is 276MB).
    The curious thing is that most of the clips that are exported are fine, i.e. they play back fine - the problem is that some of the clips go slow or choppy towards the end of the clip. So the last couple of seconds will be choppy. It basically looks like the frame rate isn't quite right.
    Once exported from Media Encoder, I import them into PPro to do some more work - the problem with the clips is apparent when I play the original file in VLC (for example) or in PPro. So it seems like the problem occurs during the export from AE. When I export the video containing the AE clips from PPro the problem is obviously still there (wishful thinking on my part). I use AE just for keying and making some basic titles, nothing massively complex.
    I had some problems with RAM preview in AE before, in other words, it wasn't playing the clips back in realtime and the exported clips with the problem look exactly like that (i.e. looks like the frame rate isn't right). I deactivated Enable Disk Cache in AE (Multiprocessing was already deactivated) and now I can play back clips ok in AE using RAM preview - even the ones that go choppy towards the end when they are exported with Media Encoder play back fine in AE.
    Could Media Encoder be going back to some previous render files saved somewhere on my system and could that cause some of the exported clips to go choppy?
    I'm new to Adobe so I'm just guessing here and I don't want to go about and delete stuff that might not have anything to do with this problem. As I've adopted the computer I'm working on from my predecessor and it's had several users since, the system is a bit of a mess and there are files all over the place. Empting the Disk Cache doesn't actually delete anything for example.
    I'm really stuck here because I can't finish the projects I started working on with AE.... I would appreciate someone's input!
    Many thanks in advance!
    My system specs:
    Intel Core i7-3930K, 3.20GHz, 16GB RAM, 64-bit operating system, GeForce GTX 680, Windows 7, Creative Suite CS6
    Before using Media Encoder to export clips from AE I was just relying on Dynamic Link between AE and PPro by the way and that made all of the clips choppy for the whole duration (this was before I solved the RAM preview problem and I haven't checked if a working RAM preview would make a difference to dynamic link). So Media Encoder nearly solved the problem. I posted this original problem on creativecow (http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1045810) but no one has gotten back to me about the new issue unfortunately.

    Thanks for your reply!
    I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
    Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

  • After Effects not dynamic linking with Media Encoder 2014

    Hi
    I updated from an older version of Media Encoder to Media Encoder 2014, and now it won't link with AE. I've updated AE also.. and yes, have tried turning my computer on and off again.
    Am I missing something here in a preference setting or is this a known issue?

    Running OSX 10.9.3 on 3.5Ghz i7 iMac
    Transfer comp to AME via Composition drop-down menu , comp settings (for argument sake) are 1920x1080p 25 fps.. although this has never affected the dynamic-link until I updated AME.
    I'm picking because it's a 'new app' rather than an updated one in CC that it's not being recognised/picked up by AME2014.
    Seems like it'll be a preferences setting that I can't seem to find, but open to helpful suggestions.
    Cheers

  • Problem with interlacing when exporting with Media Encoder CS 5.5

    It seems that when exporting a Video with interlacing in Premiere 5.5 with Media Encoder 5.5, the exported video is still interlaced although it is rendered with progressive settings. When rendering with the same settings through Premiere 5.5 without Media Encoder 5.5 (Button "Export") it is correct and progressive.
    I tried this with H264 and MPEG2. Anyone experiencing this problem too?
    Thanx!

    Were the field interpretted correctly in the first place?  Even if you think they are, try reversing them.  I've just been through hell doing something similar with a mishmash of client material from around the world.
    In some instances I switched field order (In the File>Modify) although it didn't seem logical.  In others, I used AE CS5.5 to added the Reduce Interlace Flicker filter.

  • Having troubles with Media Encoder CS6

    Hello,
        I am having the issue with Media Encoder where the it tries to connect to the dynamic link server for a long time and then ultimately fails with the message Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.  I have so far tried everything that I found online so far, that being uninstall and reinstall and creating the Premier shortcut in the Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink directory but nothing has worked.  I am queuing the job from Premiere Pro CS6.  I am not sure where to go from here and really need some help.  This is on a Windows 7 machine.  Thanks.

    There are several different ways to add a Premiere sequence to AME, see if either of these alternative methods work for you:
    Opt 1) Save your Premiere project, then drag your sequence from Premiere's Project panel and drop it into AME's Queue panel.
    Opt 2) Quit Premiere but leave AME running.  Drag your Premiere project file from the desktop (or wherever you've saved it) and drop it into AME's Queue panel.  You should see an import dialog asking you to choose the sequence you want to import.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

  • I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them

    I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them into tiffs.  when is the camera raw update coming out.  I am not the only photographer with this issue check out all the chatter about it.

    This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
    Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.

  • Noob needs help with Media Encoder Settings

    Hi All,
    Please be gentle with me. I am very new to this.
    I am using PPCS4 full version on which I am trying to edit and export video from my Canon HF 10 using their AVCHD format.
    The Mac is a MAC PRO 2 x QuadCore 3.0Ghz, 1 x 320GB SATA and 3 x 1TB SATA disks with a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
    I can import and see the video running in the source window, it can be a bit choppy but i am putting dowm to the lack of RAM (more the way). My real problem is that when I export the files the result is, well bad. I either get what appears to be a line effect every other line on the screen or by using other settings it appears grainy.
    My Cam should be recording in 1080i HD and i expect to be able to put this stuff on a DVD / Blue-Ray disk or file and see as good an image as I see in the viewfinder. This I cannot seem to do.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I don't understand...please let me know...
    did media encoder work before and it just suddenly stopped working ?  Or  is this the first time you tried using it and it just doesnt work from  your original installation ?  In other words , did it EVER work for you using the HD ?
    What source material are you using ? In other words, what type of video.  MOV and AVI can have many different types of video inside those file extensions...they are called "wrappers" insomuch as they can have a lot of different "codecs" being used in the video.  Can you tell us what the video is that you're using when AME fails to work ?
    Also tell more about your computer setup...how many hard drives? Did you set up your system like recommended in many threads here in the forums ?
    There are a lot of really good and smart people here who can help you, but they need as much information as possible so they can begin to understand what is going on with your problem. It does take some time and work on your part to put all that info into a message, but it's worth it because most times problems are solved because of it.
    ps...not meant to be a criticism because you were angry about problem, but some people probably didnt respond to your trouble right away because of your initial mssg being a little bit scary..  most people here are just users like you and help each other. nobody wants to risk being yelled at or deal with someone who is just angry and isn't really supplying enough information to help solve the problem.  That's just my opinion, and I'm glad your response to my mssg was less angry sounding.  Whew !
