From PP CS6 to Media Encoder to Encore

Ok. I have a finished project in PP CS6. Sequence settings are 720P, with the various media from the client at 1080, 480, 320(yeah, I know..yuck!) and PSD files. All is scaled correctly and lookng good. I am going out to a Standard Def, NTSC DV widescreen at 720x480. I'm on a MacPro, ML, all the latest updates, killer GPU Nvidia Quadra 4800 and plenty of RAM.
Is it best to export from PP CS6 into Media Encoder queue and down res to Standard Def there, before going to Encore? Or is it best to create an NTSC DV widescreen sequence within PP CS6? And being sure that is scaled correctly. Then bring it in to AME and render as "same as source" settings?
From there I would bring it into Encore for building the DVD(keeping same as source).
Thanks guys, I am almost done with this project!

My experience of making DVDs from HD material is as follows;
CS6 DVD from HD sequence
1. HD seq into Encore = poor results, jagged, blurred text etc.
2. HD seq via AME (Premiere export or Transcode now within Encore) into Encore = OK. Slightly blurred.
3. SD Seq into Encore = Good results. Slightly sharper than 2.
4. SD seq via AME (Premiere export or Transcode now within Encore) = Good results. Slightly sharper than 2, same as 3.
So I open a PAL DV sequence.
Drag the HD sequence to the PAL DV sequence.
Re-scale to 53%
Apply a Gaussian blur of 1.5
(If the PAL DV sequence is played in Premiere, you may see wavy verticals. Once on a DVD it’s OK.)
Send to Encore

Exporting from Prem CS6 through Media Encoder CS6 gives 'media offline' frames

Hi
I'm having problems with Prem and Media Encoder.
If I 'queue' the output of a project and use AME, wherever there are graphics laid on top of HDV footage in a PP sequence, AME is adding a red frame that says 'media offline' in several languages. If I 'export' from PP without using AME, it renders fine.
Everything looks good in the PP sequence, all files are present and work fine, so I deduce this is an issue between PP and AME.
Is this a known problem? IS there a workaround?
This system has successfully completed other projects recently. The overlaid graphics in this case are TIFFS, would that cause a difference?
I'm a long time PP/AME user - but CS4 on PC until recently when I bought PP CS6 for Mac, running it on a maxed out iMac.
OS and Adobe are fully up to date, and have tried a restart.
Thanks

Bump!
Nothing from Adobe on this?

Premiere CC 7.2.2 crashes when trying to export via Media Encoder and Encore crashes while DVD build

Hello,
My computer is a:
2x Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 (2000 MHz, 20MB);
16x Kingston DIMM 8 GB PC3-8500 ECC Reg.;
PNY Quadro 4000 with 2048 MB GDDR5-RAM;
PNY Tesla C 2075
2x 2000 GB Western Digital RE4 (7200 UPM/S-ATA II) as a RAID I
1x 120 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
1x 240 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD (system disk)
Tyan S7050GM4NR motherboard
Windows 7
I freshly installed Windows 7 and the CC-Apps PremierePro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop and Speedgrade.
When I try to export any video from premiere to the media encoder premiere crashes without any error message. The problem is not the project: I created several new projects and even if I only have one Graphic-File/Bars/h264-video in the timeline that I try to export: premiere crashes. When I export directly from premiere it works, but there is no chance to go via media encoder. The strange thing is that I can export from after effects to the media encoder without any problem...
Second Problem: Encore crashes also. Everytime I try to build a DVD => Encore crashes
Does anybody have an idea?
Here is what I already tried:
Yesterday it worked fine today it crashes when I export from premiere via media encoder.
1. Bars+Tone => export => crash
2. Video Project with 2 short h264-files => export => crash
3. I used Software only renderer => crash
This is the Windows log that I found:

Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

Hello,
I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

Adobe Media Encoder and Encore CS5 Vs. CS5.5

Hii,
I have a Tennis project that has both DSLR 720P (60) footage and HDV footage 1080 (60i) footage. I have tried making a Bluy-ray disc in Encore 5.0 and it looks good. I tried encoding Blu-ray H.264 footage from PP CS5 and Importing this footage into Encore CS5 in a Blu-ray project. Then Transcoding to DVD format. The resulting Jaggies/Saw Tooth lines of the Tennis court are terrible looking. Looks good in Blu-ray format. I have made DVDs from straight HDV footage and those come out looking great. It is something to do with the combining the different footages.
My questiuon is did Adobe redesign the Media encoder or Encore in version 5.5. If so I would upgrade just to fix this problem. If not is there any good external Transcoding program that I can try? I have tried just about every known setting/Encode type in Media Encoder but non do a good job.
Thanks,
John Gerard

I think part of the problem is mixing 720p60 with 1080i60 for DVD production. Different steps have to be taken to change HD to SD when encoding to DVD. See: http://www.bellunevideo.com/tutdetail.php?tutid=10

When or is it possible that Media Encoder and Encore will get GTX 680 CUDA support?

...and will it really make a difference?
Ive got the Creative Cloud deal, so my software is up to date (CS6) as of 8/16/12, and after installing my new GTX 680 4GB card and enabling it in Premiere and After Effects, I see a nice performance gain over my older GTX 550 ti 1.5GB.
When I drop a finished H.264 Blu-ray file into a sequence and export it from Premiere into AME, my graphics card shows about 40-60% regular usage throughout the encoding, no matter what format I am exporting to. But if I just drop the same original H.264 file into AME and set it to the exact same encode output preset, then the graphics card is not used at all.
Also, when you run GPUSniffer in the Encore program folder, you can see that it will not accept this card for GPU utilization. Ive looked all around for the Encore list of cards database it is pulling from, and Ive concluded that it must be in a compiled DLL file, so unlike Premiere, you cant modify it to detect the GPU. AME does not have either the list of supported cards or the GPUSniffer program in its program folder, so both of these programs will need the GTX 680 added to its list of supported cards by Adobe directly with an update, like they did with After Effects CS6.
I can only imagine that transcoding in either programs would benefit from CUDA accelleration, like a few other transcoding apps out there already use.
If Adobe is listening, the #1 thing I (all of us?) want in CS6 is for all transcoding products (Premiere direct export & projects, After Effects, Media Encoder direct file import, Encore) to utilize GTX 670 680 and 690 cards for accelleration out of the box. I dont want to use some 3rd party transcoder to get GPU aided transcoding, I want my CS6 Master Collection to be able to do it. Not too much to ask right?

Hi, I have written a 'proof-of-concept' (i.e. unsupported beta) NVidia H264-encoder plugin for Adobe Premeire Pro CS6. If you are interested in trying it, go the following forum-post:http://forums.adobe.com/message/5458381
Couple of notes:
(0) GPU requirement: NVidia "Kepler" GPU or later (desktop GTX650 or higher, laptop GT650M or higher.) The plugin uses the new dedicated hardware-encoder (NVENC) introduced with the 2012 Kepler GPU.
(1) the "ideal" best-case speedup (over Mainconcept H264) is roughly 4-5x on a consumer desktop PC (single-socket PC, Intel i5-3570K). Naturally actual results vary on the source-video/render.
(2) Interlaced video encoding is NOT supported. (I couldn't get this to work; I think it's a GPU-driver issue.)
(3) Only uncompressed PCM-audio is supported (no AAC/AC-3 audio.) Also, multiplexing is limited to MPEG-2 TS. If you want to generate *.MP4 files, you'll need to do your own offline postprocessing outside of Adobe.
(4) In terms of picture-quality (artifacts, compression efficiency), NVidia hardware (GPU) encoding is still inferior to software-only solutions (such as Mainconcept or x264.)
In short, don't expect the NVENC-plugin to replace software-encoding any time soon. It's not a production-quality product. And even if it were, software-encoding still has a place in a real workflow; until consumer hardware-GPU encoding can match the video-quality of the Mainconcept encoder, you'll still be using Mainconcept to do your final production video renders.
cuda is meant for general computing including encoding.
if you performe h246 encoding using cuda on gtx680 it can be done 1 minutes for a video that takes 90 minutes on i7 cpu.
At that speed, the output of the hardware-encoder would be so poor, the video may as well be disposable. NVENC is NOT faster than Intel Quicksync; actually Quicksync can be substantially faster. But NVENC (currently) holds the slight edge in compression-quality.
Off on a tangent, CUDA in MPE acceleration offers both speed-advantage and quality-advantage, because the CUDA video-frame processing is highly parallelizable, and can exploit the GPU's numerous floating-point computational-arrays to speed-up processing and do more complex processing. That's a double-win. So what does this have to do with encoding? Right now, hardware video-encoding (which comes after the video-rendering step) only offers improved speed. My experience with NVENC has shown me it does not improved video-quality. At best, it is comparable to good (and slower) software-encoding when allowed high video-bitrates. At lower video-bitrates (such as Youtube streaming), software-encoding is still A LOT better.

Problems exporting mpeg 2 videos using Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder

Using a Mac, I'm trying to exporting an mpeg 2 video from Premiere Pro CS6 using the queue process that opens the Media Encoder but when the process begins, it freezes and doesn't end.

Questions About CS5 Premiere, Media Encoder, and Encore

I've just started using Adobe CS5 and have noticed several issues that preplex
me:
1. I edit a video clip in Premiere and put it into the que for Adobe Media Encoder to convert. The input file in Premiere is an HD MPG2 file. I've set the file output to be Blu-ray AVCHD with AC-3. After Adobe Media Encoder finishes converting the file, the time lengts of the video (M4V) and audio (AC3) do not match. They usually differ by 2 to 6 seconds. This causes video/audio sync problems when brought into Encore.
2. Some files that I que into Media Encoder from Premiere state that "Rendering media." I proceed with the conversion and every thing seems OK except it's not. When these files are brought into Encore, the first part of the files produce the same message. It seems that this part of the file is never rendered.
3. I had 250 gb available on my system drive before I started using Adobe CS5 but that free space quickly disappeared. I did learn how to clean up the cache mannually. It would seem that Adobe could do this automatically.
Any suggestions?

Please repost in the Premiere forum. This forum is for general suite-wide issues, generally relating to installation.

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.

Can't run (Media Encoder or Encore) and Premiere Pro

I finished a sequence, started up Media Encoder, then began editing a new sequence with Premierer.
The result was that after a while, Media Encoder "Not Responding".
I started Media Encoder again and this time I left the room to watch TV.
Media Encoder built the AVI file correctly.
Also Encore died when I tried to use Premiere at the same time.
Is that the rule with CS4 applications?

Harm
In EN once I click on the Build button to begin building a DVD it will take more than 30 minutes before the DVD comes out.
In the mean time I would like to fire up PR to start editing some other project.
If that is not something I can do then I can use my KVM switch to go to my old PC and produce artwork for the DVD case.
On another topic, I am in the process of making a BluRay DVD with Encore and when I clicked on the Preview button, instead of getting the neat little window that allows me to run a simulation of the DVD menu, I got a huge version of that menu that I could not manuver to get to the controller buttons.

Error when exporting from After Effects into Media Encoder

Hi there. I am using After Effects CC and am trying to export>add to Adobe Media Encoder CC. Upon doing so, instead of the file being placed into Media Encoder CC, I get an error message
I just updated to most recent update of After Effects via the Cloud today but no difference. Instead, After Effects just creates a folder on my system to house a duplicate composition file with "tmpAEtoAMEProject" at the beginning of file name. I can use the render queue out of After Effects just fine.
Can someone give me a solution to how I can export out to Media Encoder CC? Probably something simple I am just missing. I don't know much/can't find much about how to know if Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed. Oh, and I have also tried to just drag the files into Adobe Media Encoder too but I still get this warning. If it helps, I am on an imac OSX 10.8.5. Thanks!

Hey there. Yes, I have uninstalled AE, restarted, and reinstalled. Still get the same error shown in screenshot in my original question posted.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 remove my video layers from sequence after export Media Encoder.

Every time I send the seq to Media Encoder, Premiere Pro hides my video layers and leaves only the audio layers. When I restart the project the workspace is messed up and I have to reset it. Do you guys know what is going on ?

Yes known issue.
Make a new project and drop this one into it.
See if that will help

Rendered output from PremierePro CS4 (via Media encoder) is pixelated and posterized

Using Premier Pro -- Recently upgraded to CS4. When exporting sequence to a quicktime movie using the Adobe Media Encoder - all settings are same as (equivalent to) what I used to do in CS3, but the result is pixelated, or posterized. See samples of what I am getting, over here: http://www.tamotion.com/sample/Picture11.png and http://www.tamotion.com/sample/Picture12.png
I am getting the same result on 3 different intel iMacs, all running Leopard 10.5.5, 4GIG RAM (in one case, 3GIG), so the problem is not specific to any one machine. I assume there is a basic setting I may have overlooked.
Anyone have an idea what the problem is?
Thanks
Tam

You need to set Bitrate in AME (it's turned off in default, don't know why it's off).
I had this problem too, but with switching on Bitrate and set the correct number - this correct problem with low quality mov's for me.

Media Encoder only using 15% CPU, and system slows to cement

Not sure what's going on, but trying to export from Premiere CS6 to Media Encoder and very basic 640x360 H264 4 minute clips are taking 40 minutes, only using 15-30% CPU (on 2011 Macbook Pro 2.3 core i7), and the system slows to a cement crawl (had to stop it just to type this post). Nothing else is using any CPU and RAM is 25% free.
I don't even know where to begin to troubleshoot. Tried restarting is all so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

It seems there is a problem with the Mercury Playback Engine on my MBP. I turned it off and switched to software only mode, and now CPU is screaming at 750% on export and estimated time is about 8 times faster

From Photoshop CS6, How do I render multiple files to Media Encoder when editing Video?

I'm trying to send one version of my video open in PS CS6 to Media Encoder at 1920x1080 then while that renders, I'd like to crop it and render it as 1440x1080.
Is there a faster way to to this?
Ideally I'd like to Send it to ME rather than Export right away..seems I can only Epxort and wait. I'd like to continue working while it renders in the background like in AE

I'm not familiar with how Photoshop uses AME, but I do know that there are several applications other than the primary professional video applications that use it. InDesign, for example, uses it for transcoding movies to be put into folios/magazines created in the digital publishing workflow (for tablets and such).
