Exporting Cross Platforms/Windows Media Encoder

(I know this is an apple forum, but I have transferred videos across platforms from a Mac to a PC. My employer wants me to create wmv files to play on windows media player and all the other forums told me to cross platforms if I couldn't pay for a program to export through Final Cut Pro.)
Long story short, I exported out of FCP into M2v files. The files are now on the PC, where they play fine. However, when I try to convert into wmv, I lose the first 3-4 seconds of video and it throws the audio off by that much. Am I doing something in Windows Media Encoder to lose that or was the initial transfer from FCP the problem?
Any help would be great.

No answer from me about what to do on your PC, but you might go directly from FCP to WMV using Flip4Mac in trial mode. It will give you 1/2 the duration of a clip, up to 30 seconds, so you can test whether it works for your purpose. Could be worth chunking out the $49. for the license.

Export to windows media encoder-PPro crashes

Every time I try to export to Adobe Media encoder: windows media: PPro crashes.
I am working on a 64k computer using the 32k version of PPro CS3.
Every other format in the media encoder works fine.
Does anyone have any solutions or know why this happens?
Thanks,
J.

J.Charette, "Export to windows media encoder-PPro crashes" #, 15 Jan 2009 12:24 pm
This thread is getting a bit old now but I'm now having the exact same problem as J.Charette. I think I may have some light to shed on it as well. I was successfully running CS3 master collection and exporting to WMV files in PPro/AE for the past year under XP64. I was given a new computer (again XP64) and didn't have any problems until I installed Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 64 (I used to use the 32 bit version successfully and this time figured I'd just get the 64 bit one instead).
Now that I've installed WME I can't export as WMV from any AE/PPro CS3. As soon as AME comes up with the format selection screen, if I select WMV from the drop down box it immediately crashes. I've tried uninstalling WME, reinstalling it and even uninstalling WME & CS3 and reinstalling from scratch. Still doesn't work.
In my case at least, there is a definite correlation between installing WME64 and its interaction with Adobe Media Encoder... Anyone have any suggestions? It seems to me there must be some registry setting / config file for AME that is causing it to try to use WME64 for something which causes a crash (since 32 and 64 bit apps can't call each other).
Ideas?
Thanks,

How to export to WMV using Media Encoder in Adobe Design Premium?

I am using Adobe Design Premium CS6 under Windows 7, I found out that there isn't plugin for Adobe Media Encoder to export WMV. Is there a way to add the WMV plugin or purchase from third party vendor?

You may need to install either Premiere Pro or After Effects for that to be an option.
You can always use the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft.

Widescreen footage using the windows media encoder of Matrox 100

I use PPRO 2.0 with the matrox 100 card. I will encode a footage, shoot in widescreen. Normally when I have a 4:3 picture I use the Matrox mediaencoding for WMP and this works fine. But the matrox mediaencoder settings doesn't have a widescreen setting.
Using the PPRO encoder in widescreen setting, the picture is distorted, maybe because of the many time dicussed Matrox system.
Can anyone give me suggestions to encode a matrox build footage into a mediaencoded footage using the matrox media encoder or otherwise?
Thanks
Chris

Thanks for replying.
The solution I finally use is to export the AVI in windows media encoder and encode it to WMV format. This works but is as bit more time consuming than directly use the Matrox encoder in PPRO as I use for 4:3 footages (which have no widescreen option).

Qosmio G30-163: Windows media encoder doesn't recognise video device

I cannot get Windows media encoder to recognise my video camera connected to S-video port (Qosmio G30-163).
I get similar problem with Marratech pro webconferencing application (it crashes after 15-20 second if I try to use it - during the time the application is frosen - in configuration I can see the test picture/video).
If I use InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum bundled software for capturing video it works just fine.

Hi Nesko
In my opinion you see this issue a little bit wrong. You are right about some standards but you must know that every hardware manufacturers dont care much about that. Other way Toshiba as notebook producer can not test all cams and external devices with the unit and also all software you can find on the market. It is a mission impossible.
Qosmio is a multimedia unit and if you read specification about that you will see that you can do everything listed there (watch TV, connect camcorder and create own DVD movies etc.). Every one of us has some specific and unique wishes but nobody can guarantee that everything you want will work.
For example: since almost a year I have Qosmio G20. I have tested it with my camcorder, with VHS recorder using it with preinstalled and also third part software and for every situation I have found solution and it work somehow.
I really dont know which cam you have but if you want to have web conferencing without any problems you should by USB webcam with highest resolutions and frames per second. Web cam will be recognized and installed very fast and you can use it any time. Sorry but web conferencing via MCE and cam is not known to me.
Anyway you can try to contact support. Maybe they have some magic\solution. If you will find out how it works please write again. I am really interested if something like that is possible.
Good luck!

Webcam on Satellite A200 doesn't work with Windows Media Encoder

Hardware: TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (1GH) with integrated Chicony webcam.
PROBLEM:
When i using webcam by Chicony software - it's working allright (video recorded normaly).
BUT: when i closing Chicony software, and starting Windows Media Encoder (preinstalled with Vista) - when i try to select webcam as input device - error is reported "device is not ready".
This error also repeated if I select for webcam Microsoft webcam driver instead of Chicony native driver.

Hi
Download the newest Chicony driver and software from the Toshiba page and install it.
Dont forget to remove the old version.
Furthermore if you get the error message like webcam is use by another application or "device is not ready you should start the msconfig and should disable and enable the chicony webcam service and process.

Audio delay in Windows Media Encoder

I am using WME for broadcasting (streaming).
The video source (digtal mixer) has a delay of 200ms.
The audio source (soundcard) has no delay.
Audio and video are now out of sync.
WME has no audio offset option, is there another way to delay the audio for 200ms?
Is there maybe a plugin for WME that can delay the audio?

Media Encoder CC 2014 Exports larger file than Media Encoder CC with same settings

We like to deliver final exports to most of our clients with the following settings:
Format: Quicktime
Codec: H.264
Quality: 100
1920x1080, 23.976, progressive, square pixels
use maximum render quality
audio: uncompressed, 48khz, stereo, 16 bit, single track
When I used to export a ~5 minute video using these settings with Premiere or Media Encoder CC (7.2.2.29), I would get a file ~1GB. If I export a ~5 minute video using these settings in Premiere or Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1.48), the result is ~ 4GB.
Any thoughts on why this might be? I assume it's a user error but I can't nail down what it is.
Thanks for your help!

Hi matthewrichie88,
I used the same settings that you have mentioned above on a Windows 7 computer and got the same file size with both versions of Media Encoder. Please specify if you have a Mac or a Windows and which OS exactly? It would really help if you can post screenshots of your export settings with both versions. Give more details about the source files as well.
Thanks!

Problem exporting with Premiere Pro/Media Encoder CS4

Hey there. I've got 15-minute long movie edited in Premiere. Whenver I've tried rendering/exporting to see what the final product looks like, Media Encoder will usually freeze up about halfway through encoding. The time estimated/time elapsed will freeze, and if I cancel the encoding the program freezes up.
Other times I will get an error that says "encode failed because the source duration is nil". Not sure what that means, but the render arrows in the work area are never set to zero.
Additionally, I've tried exporting different lengths of the project only to have the same results, with Media Encoder failing each time.
Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
My footage is in .mp4 format, and I'm also exporting to the same format. I've got numerous music and voiceover files as well. Resolution when exporting is 1280x720, and the max bitrate is 7.0mbps.
It seems more like a software problem than a lack of adaquate hardware, but I'm running a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit with a 2.0 GHz CPU and 8GB of RAM - I'm not sure how to find out what kind of video card I have.
Thanks for any assistance, it is greatly appreciated!

Export (Premiere CC 2014 & Media Encoder CC 2014) not using 100% of CPU

Hey all, had this problem for a while now, Adobe CC 2014 just doesn't want to utilise my CPU, thus taking a 3min clip to encode forever (god forbid I use any effects or a 3 minute clip encodes for over 5hours - no not a joke) it doesn't matter if I use the built in encoder in Premiere or use the Media Encoder. I've seen that many people struggle with this but no-one has supplied a solution not at least oen that I could find. Does anybody know a workaround? Just to throw in some numbers here. A same project file, with the same export settings with the same source files and on the same computer of course; 1 hour and 21min clip encodes in 2 hours and 24min (h264 2pass encode with 35mbit stream) in CS6, with CC 2014 it takes 6 hours and 49 min and that is just preposterous.
As can be seen from the screenshot Adobe CC 2014 is only using about 50% of my CPU thus encoding slower. I wonder if there is a way to tell Adobe to just use all of the resources that are given to it?

Why Isn't Flash Professional CC Allowing Me To Export My Video To Media Encoder CC?

Hi,
I am hoping that someone would be able to help...
I made a couple of flash animations using the Adobe Flash Professional program that I am trying to piece together into a 30-second commercial in Adobe Premiere Pro. The problem though is every time I go to export the video it'll save it in a .MOV file and then fail to export to Adobe Media Encoder. The error message that I keep getting is the following:
Does Adobe Media Encoder not currently support .MOV files? Does anyone know how to fix this. I would really appreciate it a lot. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need more information about the issue. Thanks!!!
Sincerely,
Bobby ~
P.S.: I Am Very New To All Of This Adobe Stuff!!!

You may need to set the wmode value in a couple of places depending on your embedding code, so be sure to find them all.

Exporting Video with Adobe Media Encoder filled up my OS Drive

I exported a 2+ hour video queued from Premiere CC 2014 to Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014. I had some dynamically linked files to both AE CC 2014 and AU CC 2014. All my media caches where set to a different drive on my pc. After the export was done, I was left from 42 GB on the OS to 13 GB on the OS drive. Does anyone have a clue of what happened and where those "cached" files might be so I can get rid of them?
I would greatly appreciate some guidance in this matter.
Cordially,
Edwin

To whom it may concern,
I have resolved my own problem. I did some minor maintenance on my computer, some file management and got the GB on my OS drive up to 33 GB. I restarted my computer and it booted up with 75.5 GB on the OS drive. It seems to have "flushed" all the previously cashed files from my export. If anyone has a clear idea of how this happened, I would love to know still. If anyone is interested on knowing what I did as "maintenance" I can also share this. Just post a reply to this discussion and I will share.

Premiere CS5 - Export Update für Media Encoder nicht realisierbar

Beim Versuch von exportieren - Medien - erscheint ein Update Hinweis für den Media Encorder. Doch alle Versuche
scheitern dies auszublenden, weil alle aktuellen Updates vorhanden sind. Egal ob das mit automatischer Voreinstellung
erfolgte oder manuell.
Vielen Dank für eine Hilfe

Hallo Mylenium,
erst einmal vielen Dank für die Antworten.
Ich hätte mich schon früher gemeldet, doch der Wirrwar des Login in diesem Adobe Programm nur in die
Foren zu kommen, ist schon ein Gedicht. Schlimmer geht´s nimmer!! Und dann immer wieder in English!
Und biste mal drin, ist der Button > Antwort < nicht vorhanden. Meine Fresse was ein "Spaß"!
Es gab ja 2 Anfragen und dazu möchte ich folgendes noch mitteilen:
a) Update Media Encoder
Eine kpl. Deinstallation mit Neuinstallation nur wegen dieser doofen Anzeige mal sehen. Mir graut´s vor allen Dingen
mit etwaigen verunsicherten Meldungen, die der "Laie" nicht 100%ig deuten kann. Außerdem - bleiben denn die sich in
Arbeit befindeten Daten vorhanden?
b) Abbruch beim exportieren.
Temporäre Dateien schmieren das System wunderbar voll. Das habe ich bereits gemerkt. Das dies auch beim
Export passiert, wußte ich nicht und es läßt sich auch wärend des Prozesses nicht sehen bzw. feststellen wie der
Stand der Dinge ist, sodaß auf Partition C bei ca. 8 Giga freien Platz es evtl. Probleme geben kann.
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit dies zu umgehen?
Auf beide anderen Festplatten ist genügend Platz vorhanden. Wie könnte ich das bewerkstelligen.
Vielen Dank für eine weitere Antwort.

Export AVI from Adobe Media Encoder Mac

I would like to export AVI files from Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. Am I able to buy the codecs for Mac to do so?

[email protected]
VLC player does get the job done, but I have found it to be glitchy in the past.
I would recommend MPEG Streamclip much more strongly.
I trust it much more.
And free download, for Mac or PC. Just google it. (Though I have only ever used the Mac versions.)
Though, I don't understand what you mean by saying that the .avi extention seem contrary to what was said above.
Whatever "container" you use for your video file is what the extension will be. i.e. "video_file.avi"
Within that container, there will be a compression codec (of which there are numerous options) that the container used to compress the video.
That codec will not be displayed in the extension.
MknzBrkr
I know you posted over a month ago...but maybe it will still be helpful!
I do not remember the video codecs available within VLC player. Sorry.
But if you decide to follow my advice to Timoyer and use MPEG Streamclip (which I highly recommend that you do!)...
Then you can use File > Export to AVI... > and then select "Apple Component Video - YUV422".
That is an uncompressed format.
While it will be quite large, hopefully that will be what your client is looking for.
Good luck to you all!
And have a great week!
