Erroneous Constant Media Encoder Update Reminders?

I'm using the full Creative Cloud CS6 suite including Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.2. on an iMac 27-in. running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. For my money (literally ...), the whole Creative Cloud subscription deal has been a terrific benefit. But recently, when attempting to send Media to Encoder in PrPro, I get a dialog that sez a new Adobe Media Encoder is available for this program and I can download it via Help/Updates or via a provided Adobe link.
When I go Help/Updates, which opens Adobe Application Manager, I get the expected response that all my apps are up to date. When I downloaded the manual update and run it, I get an error dialog that sez I don't need the update:
Adobe Media Encoder CS6 6.0.2 Update
Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28
Also: When I click through the PrPro Encoder update advisory, I get the window for file settings. When I click on the Queue button, the file thinks for a sec and gets saved somewhere, evidently, but Encoder with its many options never opens -- and the file is not visible in the place it was saved. I have no standalone Media Encoder since upgrading from CS5.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance.

Adobe Media Encoder update is available for this version

When I exporting a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, there comes a screen appears and indicates that "Adobe Media Encoder update is available for this version."
I go to the page "www.adobe.com / go / updates and downloads" Adobe Media Encoder CS 5.5.1 for windows 64-bit "
Subsequently I start the download file and get a message "Some updates were not installed"
How do I fix my problem and get the latest update installed, or get Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for not knowing modest and the available update for "Adobe Media Encoder"

I selected run as administrator, no effect.
I am using version 5.0.3, on win7 when i select help and update the adobe application manager reads "your aplications are all up-to-date", i would assume this is the current version.
No matter what i try to export from any project regardless of codec or output i receave this message
"an adobe media encoder update is availiable for this version of premierepro. to download the latest update, pleas run the adobe updater form the help menue orvosot http://adobe.com/go/updates."
I went to the help menue and selected help and i still get the adobe application manager "your aplications are all up-to-date"
thanks for the help

Export causes "Media Encoder update is available", though already updated

Summary: Export from within Premiere Pro CS5 ver 5.0.2 produces the dialog "Media Encoder update is available", even though the updater has already been run without error and reports "no updates available". Media Encoder version is 5.0.1. The export itself runs OK after dismissing the dialog.
Details: I updated Premiere Pro CS5 Production Premium from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2, using Adobe Updater. Running updater again (from either Premiere Pro or Media Encoder) produces a dialog:
Adobe Applications Manager: "Your applications are all up-to-date."
However each time I try to export a video (AVCHD 1080i/30 from Canon HF100), Premiere Pro gives this dialog:
Dialog: Adobe Premiere Pro
"An Adobe Media Encoder update is available for this version of Pemiere Pro. To download the latest update, please run the Adobe Updater from the Help menu or visit http://www.adobe.com/go/updates"
Media Encoder help/about says: Version 5.0.1.0 (64-bit)

Thank you for your patience and feedback as well as installation info.
We are still looking into this issue, but we do have a solution for you.
To solve this issue, you can put a shortcut of AME application in PPro folder and then PPro can find AME and launch it without errors reported in this thread. Follow these steps:
1.       Using Explorer, go to the folder
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5\
2.       In that folder, you should find the AME application called
“Adobe Media Encoder” or “Adobe Media Encoder.exe”
3.       Right click on that file and select “Create Shortcut”.
A shortcut of that file will be placed in the same folder.
The shortcut file will be called “Shortcut to Adobe Media Encoder.exe”
4.       Copy the shortcut to your PPro folder.
Most users who have this issue have installed PPro to a different folder rather than the default installation location. Example: copy the above shortcut you created to E:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\
5.       Rename the shortcut from “Shortcut to Adobe Media Encoder.exe” to “Adobe Media Encoder”. If you have elected to show the file extension, it may have .lnk at the end of the file which should remain.
6.       If PPro is open, close it and re-launch it. You should now be able to launch AME from within PPro without an update reminder or other errors.
That should do it.
Please do let us know if this solution does or does not work for you.

Media Encoder Update Not Helping

I just installed the latest media encoder update to see if it would resolve the Quicktime Animation codec problem, but it did not. When encoding a still image sequence to this format with all quality options set to high, it drops half of the frames, and the result is pretty crappy. I have verifed with another program that the codec is working properly, so it is obviously a fault of adobe media encoder or Premiere Pro CS4.
rgds

Im having the same problem. Any hints on whats the next best codec to use? I need to render out a full res lossless file so i can encode it in squeeze. pro res looks ok but it falls apart in the encoder.

Premiere cc & media encoder update and it doesn't use anymore 100% of cpu,why?

hi
i don't like always to update programs
but yesterday i update premiere to version 7.2.2 and adobe media encoder and others , in short i updated everything
well i started to render a video and i noticed that adobe media encoder (during the rendering) did not use all my cpu
in the prev , i used the 90% of my cpu
my cpu it's the last intel 4 core (8 vitual) 4Ghz
but the new verstion uses not more then 50% , don't know how much gpu does it use , can't find a program to monitor under w8.1 pro 64bit
what's wrong?
is there a way (option) to let media encoder to use all my 100% cpu?
is there a way to check how much gpu does it use?
thanks

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply.
It doesn't appear to be the problem though. The encode I have running at the moment has been going for the last 13 hours and in the last two hasn't once got any further along!
Current elapsed time for a 30 minute film going to MPG2 is 13 hours and 18 minutes! Seems a touch excessive for just muxing!
Any other ideas? Would be really grateful for any advice as Adobe Media Encoder is becoming very unreliable and I have tonnes of encoding to do!
Many thanks

Media Encoder update 4.1 did not install correctly?

I updated Production Premium package to 4.1 when it became available, 31. May.
Now when I check updates, Adobe Media Encoder 4.1 update is still on a list. Somehow it did not install correctly.
It is working OK and version shows 4.1.0.107.
The only problem so far I've noticed is not connected to AME but Premiere: it do not accept .VOB files.
Similar hardware (PC) / software combinations are working OK with other collagues here in our studio.
If I install the AME update again, after downloading and installation "The updating process is finished"
prompt pops up, but the update installation is not complete.
What is preventing AME to install correctly?
Just now I can not uninstall the complete package.

First thank you Harm for trying to help.
I'm just learning to use this forum. Your most useful hint was on another thread, and
I could not give you points there. I've also found many of your other posts useful in these forums.
Thanks for those as well.
And because this is Premiere forum I prefer not to hassle with my After Effects problems here.
But no, I don't get full interface at all, just usual MS error message: "Color Finesse has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
I think the most apparent reason is my heavy project, vast amount of material, lots of HD compositions and only 32 bit XP with 4 Gigs of RAM.
When I tried to make a new HD project with less material, Color Finesse's full interface opened just fine.
And because my project's color correction needs were simple foreground to background balancing for bluescreen shots, I managed to do it with Levels.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 update and Media Encoder update fail to install

Hi -
I've been updating my CC applications. But PP CC 2014 and media Encoder say: "UPDATE FAILED". Naturally I cannot get through to Abobe. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Harry

Hi Harry,
Sorry, chat and phone support are closed on weekends for the video queue. We only have general support open on weekends. It's been this way for years. Sorry if that caused some inconvenience.
I hope you have solved your issue. If on Mac, you can update NVIDIA drivers in the NVIDIA control panel in System Preferences. AMD GPUs are merely updated when you update OS X.
Also, please check out the doc that was recommended: Installation failed. Error U44M1P7 | Updates
If you are still having trouble, contact us Monday through Friday 7AM-7PM PST here: Contact Customer Care
If you can't get your issue solved, send me a PM and I'll try and help.
BTW, I am not sure why your post is marked as correct. I do have that ability but did not do that. Sorry for that.
Thanks,
Kevin

Media Encoder Update problem - cannot export video

Hi, I just obtained a student license of Premiere Pro CS4, and I have a critical problem, I cannot export any videos.
Every time I go to export a sequence, Premiere reminds me to update the media encoder.
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7047/mediaencoderjz6.png
I have done both as instructed, and successfully installed the latest update to media encoder, but Premiere still fails to export any video, or even open Media Encoder. I do not have this problem on my laptop, only on my home computer.
I'm running Windows Vista, I have not installed any previous versions of premiere, my system spec is dual core 3ghz, 4gb ram, nvidia 8600gt.

See:
Support:kb407106 Error: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source"

Media Encoder update fails

I've got web premium cs4 running on 10.5.6 and have now had 3 failed attempts at updating the Media Encoder to version 4.0.2. I just get an Installation Incomplete dialog.
My current version is 4.0.1.078.
Any ideas please?

Since my last post, Adobe suggested I removed the entire Suite and reinstall. I did, but the problem persisted. They then suggested I use the CS3 Cleanscript and try again. I pointed out that my Suite is CS4 and asked if they meant the CS4 script but I'm still waiting on a reply...
To me it would make sense to use the CS4 script, but want to check so I dodn't have to go through reinstalling After Effects and Bridge CS3 if I don't need to. (Bridge CS4 doesn't work with the AE Browse Presets command so I have both versions on my system.)

Media Encoder Update for Captivate Subscription

I see news that Adobe Media Encoder CC (7.2) is now available.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5703
When I check for updates within Media Encoder CS6 (version 6.0.3.1) that came with my Captivate 7 subscription it says there are no updates available, same case within Captivate 7 itself.
Should I use the update from the URL above or wait until it is enabled within Media Encoder or Captivate? I am assuming there would be an update.

Hello ,
Yes the updated version of Adobe Media encoder which gets packaged along with Adobe Captivate is CS6 (6.0.3.1) .
The link which you have shared is for Media Encoder cc version which gets installed along with cc appliations.
You will be able to install from the above link which you have shared with me if you have installed Media Encoder as a part of CC applications
Thanks and Regards

PP CS5 sagt, ein neue Media-Encoder-Updates stünden zur Verfügung...

, leider führt der Link von Adobe ins Cyber-Nirwana - irgendeine Idee wie das warum und wie man an die Updates kommt? Der Adobe App Manager behauptet alle Versionen eien auf dem neuesten Stand.

Also, es handelt sich um die Version CS5, Version 5.0.3.
Die Bachricht erscheint vor dem Media-Export - s. Screenshots
Vielen Dank für die Bemühungen!
Wie gesagt der Adobe Updater sagt alles ist cool und up-to-date

Adobe Media Encoder Update for Mac not working?

Hey!
My Premiere says that there is an update available for the AME.
When i open the PatchInstaller it says: "This Patch is not suitable for you."
In a normal case AME is installed together with Adobe Premiere, isn't it?

>> In a normal case AME is installed together with Adobe Premiere, isn't it?
The above comment has been true for stand alone installation of major releases. But when it comes to patch release, each product is on its own. Generally speaking, PPro and AME products release patches on the same day. There have been a few cases where PPro had a patch (like 7.2.1) and there was no AME corresponding patch.
>> My Premiere says that there is an update available for the AME.
>> When i open the PatchInstaller it says: "This Patch is not suitable for you."
What versions of PPro and AME do you currently have on your system?
What version does PatchInstaller wants to install on your system?
The latest released versions of PPro and AME patches are 7.2.2.

Adobe Media Encoder Update???

How can I update the AME without being connected to the internet?
I updated Premiere Pro to 4.0.1 with the download option from a different computer but it did not include the update for the AME.

There will be a download page for the AME update posted soon, in the next couple of weeks.

Media encoder update fail

I have been triying do the update for weeks and I keep getting "Update Failed", no error codes. I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, still the same. Now I have upgraded to Maverick, no change. All of my other CC programs are updating fine.

Vicraven if you are facing difficulties applying an update then please review the installation logs for that update.

Media Encoder CS4 won't update - Mac

I have CS4 and Adobe media encoder 4.1.0 will not update,
I have downloaded it via software update and then it installs and after a check of software update it asks me to update exactly what I just updated.
Does anyone know how I can sort this issue out?

Hi Jagan,
Thanks for the response.
After installing the CS4 Design Suite Premium, I moved all the apps/folders to a newly-created "Adobe" folder inside my applications folder. I always ran the Updater to check and download the updates. I didn't pay attention to the success of the updates, since they always ended with a dialog box that said "Finished". It's only when I noticed that it was downloading the Media Encoder update over and over again, that I got suspicious. When I looked in my Applications folder, The "Apple" folder I created was still there, but there was also a new "Media Encoder CS4" folder, which was not there before.
I deleted this new "Media Encoder CS4" folder and ran Updater again. Updater then downloaded the new version and installed it. Unfortunately, the Media Encoder CS4 in my "Apple" folder was not updated to the new version, but that duplicate Media Encoder CS4 folder was back
I browsed through the other messages here about update problems, and I decided to re-install the Media Encoder CS4. I trashed the duplicate folder and put in the DVD. In order to re-install the Media Encoder, I had to also re-install Flash CS4. I did so, then ran the Updater again (I did not change the location of any of the re-installed programs prior to the update). Lo and behold, Media Encoder was updated correctly! I continued the remaining updates to get my software back to the current versions. I thought I was home-free, but unfortunately I wasn't
Although Media Encoder was updated correctly, now Drive Manager and Acrobat Reader are not getting updated. The update installer says that the updates completed successfully, but when I run the Updater again, it identifies those same 2 programs as needing updates.
I downloaded the updates manually, but installing them did not update the programs.
If you have any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!
Mike
