Encoder on cs4

I just upgraded and found out the Surcode audio decoder for dolby digital does't open when audio codec tab is opened. What can I do?.
Gabriel

The 4.0.1 update does indeed upgrade AME and ppro to support surcode for dolby digital,both the above mentioned apps (ppro and AME) need to be updated to enable surcode for dolby digital audio.
Tried it at my end and it does work fine.

Adobe Media Encoder (Pr CS4) encodes my videos without the effects of the plugins Genarts Sapp

Hello,
My Adobe Media Encoder (Premiere CS4) encodes my videos without the effects of the plugins Genarts Sapphire. I did not have this problem with CS2 and also he encodes all other plugins.
Do you know why? I really need to solve this serious issue.
Any help will be apprecieted,

OK, good. Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0 and look for two files called "Plugin Loading.log" and "Headless Plugin Loading.log" (without the quotes). These are just text documents, so open them up in Notepad or similar and compare the two; what you're looking for are references to your Sapphire plugins. What you'll probably find is that in "Plugin Loading.log", the plugins are loaded successfully--it will say something like "The plugin was successfully loaded from the registry."--whereas in "Headless Plugin Loading.log" the same plugin will be marked "The plugin is marked as Ignore, so it will not be loaded."
If you see that, let me know and I'll try to walk you through the steps of correcting it. If you like, I'd be happy to look at the log files; attach them to a reply here (they're small documents).

When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
Do one or both of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Close all Adobe applications.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
Do one of the following:
Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Re-install your Adobe software.

Adobe Media Encoder in CS4

Hello. My name is Justin. I am currently going through the ADOBE FLASH CS4 REVEALED book by Jim Shuman, as a program at a local community college. I have the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. I am running this program on Microsoft Windows 7 x64, with 4 gb ram and a Core2 Duo processor at 2.27 GHz.
I am going through the content of the book, and in chapter 5, lesson 3, we were to use the encoder to encode a fireworks.mov file. (p5-14)
I proceed through the steps described in the book. Upon opening the fl5_3.fla , I first select default fonts as I don't have the called for font. After making a new layer named video and clicking frame 1 of the said layer. I click File > Import > Import Video. I get the wizard window popped up. I click on the Embed FLV tic, and browse to the data folder.I select the file and click open. This is where I encounter the 1st error.
"The video format you have selected is not valid for embedded video. Please select an FLV file."
I click OK. And then click Launch Adobe Media Encoder button. I recieve a second error.
"The file"(location)" could not be imported by Adobe Media Encoder" .
I have tried to import it from various locations on my hard drive, and from the data disk itself. Adobe is said to be fully updated.
I encounter this problem again in a later lesson in the Skills Review on page 5-40.
Another thing to note is that when I choose to manually add an item in the que of the encoder, I do not get to initially see the .mov file until selecting the ALL option under the File type drop down scroll box.
Any help in a timely manner would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
- Justin

I could really use some help on this . . .
Could it be a codec is missing or something?
Does anyone know of another way I can get help if not from here?
Thanks.

Media Encoder Problem CS4

Recently got CS4 master edition, every time I open Adobe Media Encoder from Flash or otherwise it gives me an error,
[..\..\Src\Init.cpp-42]
then it closes and sends error report.
Any ideas what the problem is?
I am hoping its a bad install but I really don't want to install all of master edition again.
Any Ideas?

Are you running on Windows or Mac OS X?
Try upgrading to the latest version of the Quicktime player and see if that makes a difference.

What has happend to Adobe Media Encoder in CS4?

I have been making short (5min to 10min) movies for the web for several years. I have used Premiere Pro CS3 and exported to FLV using the CS3 Adobe Media Encoder. The results have been excellent using 800kb/s at 25fps.
I then upgraded to Premiere Pro CS4 but cannot get anywhere near the same quality out of the new Adobe Media Encoder. I have tried many settings, including 2-pass and/or VBR as well as Single Pass CBR. What ever I try the resulting video quality is poorer than from CS3.
For the moment I am sticking with CS3 until I can find a solution. I hope I have not wasted my money on the upgrade.
Can anyone help?
Spok.

I have found in my testing that the Flash encoding options and the results are far superior to anything I ever got out of previous versions of this option in PPro CS3 and v2.0.
That being said, I always use Sorenson Squeeze. Wish Adobe could match the quality I get in Sorenson. It's closer than before, but the file sizes are still much bigger in AME and the quality is noticeably lower than what Squeeze can deliver.

Media Encoder for CS4 (Mac Version) will not encode

Hi-
I am editing on a new macbook pro and Premiere works great....but the media encoder keeps giving me error messages stating the source media can't be found. I have tried to update the software, but the update will not complete (update work for the rest of CS4). I have reinstalled and still have the same problem. I have downloaded to the most current patch but it tells me the version on my computer is newer. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Any ideas?

Help transporting a flash file from flash encoder into cs4 premiere.

Hello -
If anyone could help - it would be greatly appreciated.
I've been using Flash Media Encoder 3.1 to create LIVE videos.
Video Settings:
Logitech Pro 9000
Format VP6
15 FPS
800x450 input / output
Bitrate 500 kbps
I wanted to edit some of these videos but am having trouble importing these .FLVs into Premiere CS4
The file does import but problems occur -
1. The video is turned vertically instead of horizontally
2. No video actually plays and remains a black screen
I'm thinking it could possibly be the preset I'm bringing in with. Any help would be great!
Thanks so much -
Leo

Strange sound/sync problem after encoding in CS4

Hi guys and gals, wonder if anyone can help me out on this one?
I'm running PPro CS4 on a purpose-built matrox rtx2 system, working mostly from DVCAM.
I've done a complete edit, cutting various interview soundbites over music to make a testimonial montage. After doing the complete audio mix, everything sounds fine and dandy when I preview it after rendering. The problem occurs when I output the film using AME to a variety of different formats. Where previously I had precise edits on the timeline, the audio cuts sound to be a couple of frames out. For example, one cut occurs just after the line 'ideal product for our needs' and sounds exactly as it should on the timeline, but on the outputted file it sounds like he says 'ideal product for our nee...'
Same thing occasionally happens on music mixes, when I cut to the beat to use different sections of the backing track and crossfade through, it sounds fine on the timeline but then after I output the file then cuts the sound off the beat and the music sounds like it goes slightly out of time on the transition.
I've even tried rendering it out as a wav file, but that doesn't work either.
Is it something I'm doing wrong? I've checked and it's all 48k sound (and if it was a sample rate issue I assume it would appear on the timeline as well). Or is it another to add to the long list of problems we've had with the matrox setup?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Kev

Kev,
Could it be that the preview of the timeline is inaccurate as opposed to the outputted file?
Let's check this out. First, is there a red line above your Clips in the Timeline, just below the Timeline Ruler? If so, hit Enter to Render those Clips for smoothest playback. Note: Audio can need Rendering too. Does this help?
If not, set the WAB (Work Area Bar) over a small section of the Timeline, though one that exhibits the OOS issue. Export to your desired format/CODEC and test. Do you get OOS in the Export?
For a bit more on Rendering, see this ARTICLE.
For a look at the WAB, see below:
Good luck, and please report,
Hunt

Exporting in Adobe Media Encoder fails in CS4 after CS3 is removed.

There's an issue with Adobe Media Encoder in CS4 where encoding will fail after CS3 is uninstalled.
If you never had CS3 installed on your machine - no problem.
If you never had CS3 and CS4 installed at the same time - no problem.
If you had CS3 and CS4 installed concurrently, then uninstalled CS3 - Houston, you have a problem.
You will need to uninstall CS4 and then reinstall CS4.
The error message is:
Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
One more thing I forgot to mention, this is a Win-only issue.

>Does anyone understand this?
Simple:
1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
2. Open a
second Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "Premiere.exe"
3. Arrange the windows side by side.
4. Right-click on "Premiere.exe" and drag to the first explorer window, targeting between the files so as to avoid any specific file.
5. Release the right-hand mouse button.
6. Select "create shortcut here" from the pop-up menu.
Cheers

Where is the De-interlace in Adobe Media Encoder CS4?

How do you de-interlace video Using the Adobe Media Encoder in CS4? In CS3 there was a de-interlace check box in the video Output Tab but there is not one in CS4?
I am using 720x486 SD interlaced 29.97fps footage editing it and exporting the final product to flash flv.
Thank you!
Joe

Deinterlacing is now automatically applied if the source and the destination differ as far as their field order is concerned. In other words:
Interlaced source --> interlaced destination = no deinterlacing
Progressive source --> progressive destination = no deinterlacing
Interlaced source --> progressive destination = automatic deinterlacing
The Field Order option in the output setting determines whether deinterlacing is applied. Be sure to check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" option in the fly-out menu; it will take 4-5 times longer to render, but with better results.

Media encoder CS4 and AVID

I am trying to use the standalone Media Encoder that comes with Production Premium CS4 to convert some Quicktime reference files created by our AVID Media Composer systems. I have tried importing a QT ref that points to the AVID JFIF 2:1 media (Quicktime recognizes it as Avid Meridien Compressed 2:1) and a self-containd QT that is holding an AVID DV codec. In each case, import into the Media Encoder results in black for video. The Media Encoder that comes with CS3 works fine. Why does the Media Encoder for CS4 not?
I have searched several forums here and at Creative Cow to no avail. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ben Wilson

In the event that someone else has this issue, here is my solution.
I found that the version of Media Encoder installed by my install disc (I think it was 4.0.0.394) works fine. As soon as I apply ANY updates, it breaks. As these installs are on 32-bit systems that CANNOT be updated to a 64-bit OS, this is my only solution.

Letter boxing in adobe encoder cs4!

I maybe being really stupid here but i am at the end of my tether trying this for days!
I export a movie from after effects at the required size 682 x 374 and pull it into adobe encoder (both CS4) and choose all the desired compression settings ensuring to not resize the video and noting that it does say at the foot of the out put screen that both source and out put are at 682 x 374. However when i preview in encoder it shows black bars to the right handside. In case this was just a poor preview i carry on and export, before pulling the file into Flash....and sure enough....wrong size with bars to the right and left.
I know it needs to be happening in encoder as i export it from after effects and use quick time pro to reduce an mov file and it comes in perfectly at the same size........
Am i doing something wrong here as i would have thought this was a basic request!?
Attached is a screen grab of the preview screen....any help appreciated.

First make sure the source file has square pixels. If that is already the case, up the MPEG profile level to 4.1 or higher and set the profile to Main or Advanced. Certain combinations of profile levels and profiles use pre-defined ratios and resolutions, since they need to be compatible to a wider selection of devices, and thus may not give the result you require.

(CS4) Why is Premiere CS4 modifying TIFF files in a sequence?

Hello,
decided to post here, because I didn't find any old postings of this subject anywhere.
I'm composing 2-d drawn animation on AE and editing in Premiere, then importing to
Avid media composer for exporting to Sony Digital Beta tape via SDI. When working in
CS3 and earlier, everything was nice, AE made about 1730 kB TIFF files and Premiere
kept them the same size, you just needed to select export -> movie... Tiff sequence,
deselect recompress, select best quality and optimize stills. File sizes were the same,
and I could rest assured that the original AE image quality was still there.
Now in CS4, something fundamental has changed. AE CS4 still makes perfect TIFF
animation frames (at 1024x576 same as CS3, about 1730kB and at 1050x576 about
1770kB).
So far, so good.
In Premiere 2.0 and 3.0, you could select a preselection 720*576 pal widescreen
composition and when exporting the edited animation would get the same pixel-level
IQ as from a custom Desktop: 1024*576 square pixel composition, when using the
Export movie described above. This to me looks like Premiere uses the original
TIFF material.
But in Premiere 4.0, something weird happens. If I use a 720*576 pal widescreen
preset (with AE CS4 1050*576 animation sequences) and export 1050*576 pal
widescreen square pixel image sequences, Adobe Media Encoder chops off 330
square pixels and stretches the image horizontally for blurred, sad results.
EXPORT MOVIE never did this!
Having found that out, I use only custom-> desktop: 1024 or 1050 projects now,
but here again something weird happens: Adobe Media encoder adds about 600kB
to every TIFF frame, and I'm almost unable to notice the difference, but I would say
that the images certainly don't look any better than the ones that were imported to
Premiere, more on the opposite. So, in every option but when exporting one TIFF at
a time Media Encoder alters the superb AE TIFFs.
Why on earth does Adobe want to add a huge amount of useless bits, in animation
the disk space required increases very significantly. What was wrong with the
EXPORT MOVIE option?
I'm asking should I just edit in Premiere 3 if I want unchanged, superb AE quality
TIFF sequences? Premiere gives it when I export only 1 frame, but as soon as I tick
"Export as sequence" it starts Adobe Media encoder which affects all frames, even
those with no Premiere effects on them. Premiere 3 preserved original IQ even in
PAL editing mode (export movie uncompressed) but Encoder in CS4 either
loses 30% of the pixels or adds about 600kB more air!?!?!
1050*576 is not a must for me because I want web movies to be 16:9 sqpix and
the Avid where I work in prefers 1024*576 over 1050*576 in Digital Betacam tape
exporting for uncompromised broadcasting results.
This issue is affecting many animatiors here in Finland, in CS3 and earlier there
were no problems because Premiere respected AE quality work, but now this Media
Encoder has messed things up, not selecting Custom-desktop-1024/1050 will ruin any
animation movie image sequence and selecting it makes files A LOT bigger without any
improvement in IQ.
I hope someone from Adobe could explain what on earth is going on in Premiere
development? Many animation professionals in Finland are awaiting your kind reply.
Anyone with a clue what's going on in the altering can give a hand!
Olli Laamanen, Finland

I did additional testing by comparing exported frames from Premiere
to the AE frames. Only when I delete all render files before export, do I get
the same image pixel-wise. But then there's the extra ~600kB of data.
Does anyone know what that is, a colleague suggested it might be the color
profile or some metadata added by adobe media encoder. I'd really like
to know what it is! Someone who knows something about this Adobe
Media Encoder might have the answer.
So if you are using AE and Premiere to make animation and want to
keep your master footage unchanged, the equivalent for CS3 export ->
movie -> TIFF uncompressed is to
-work only in desktop mode
-delete all render files before exporting media through the encoder
otherwise CS4 will change your images.
Like this it doesn't change the images but adds over 30% additional
data (somekind of tags/metadata)?
Anyone with a guess what it is, please help!

CS4 will not recognize my Canon HV20

CS4 will not recognize my HV20.   CS3 does.   Am I doing something wrong?

Great analogy!!
I have CS4 installed as a trial, with Cineform HD 4.1. Both have current updates.
The HV20 is recognized on CS3, and imports into CS3 without a problem.
The cineform intermediate file clips are not redlined in the timeline/sequence in CS3, but they are in CS4
after using HDLink from Cineform to capture the footage.
HDLink recognizes the camera.
CS3 recognizes the camera.
Project settings are 1920x1080 cineform HD
No matter what settings I use the camera is not recognized.
Firewire cable is good...works in CS3.
Also, Cineform PanZoom effect causes CS4 to crash, other cineform effects
work ok.
Exporting the project using media encoder in CS4 also ends in errors and
crashes with all different types of export settings.
Equipment:
     Core2/quad Q6600
     D974xbx2kr Intel board
     8 g memory
     Separate scratch disc raid 0 array
     Windows 7 64bit
     EVGA 8800GTS
Is Cineform not installed correctly? CS4 project settings menu has Cineform options listed, so its there. All of the Cineform effects are
there. I have not tried all of them, but Pan and Zoom definitely causes a crash, whereas cineform color effects work, cineform 32 bit dissolve
works...
Cineform support says its an Adobe problem......
I appreciate your help.
