Importing picture sequence in Media Encoder ? like in the help

If you look in this help document http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AdobeMediaEncoder/4.0/WS8A54CAA7-268E-4af0-B8A4-0EA3EACEC1A3.h tml
it says you can import TGA sequence and JPG sequence. From the document :
- JPEG and JPEG sequence (JPE, JPG, JFIF)
- Targa and Targa sequence (TGA, ICB, VDA, VST)
but I was unable to do that. You can drop a jpg file in MEdia Encoder and it will convert just fine - but only the first frame. How to load the entire sequence ?

I'm trying to import. When you're working with 3d graphics and rendering - the common work-flow would be to render a series of frames, a sequence. Many people work like this also even with normal footage.
Or some programs expect also a sequence. For example the software Nuke (commonly used for compositing in films like Watchmen and Avatar).
And because I think Adobe Media Encoder is one of the fastest encoders around I would like to use it to convert a sequence of JPG in a WMV or H264.
Since it can export a sequence of TGA or BMP it's only normal to expect that it can read also a sequence. And more so the Help says it can :
Supported still‑image formats :
JPEG and JPEG sequence (JPE, JPG, JFIF)
Targa and Targa sequence (TGA, ICB, VDA, VST)
But if I drag a JPEG file in the encoder - it reads only the first frame. Is there a special method to read the rest of the frames ? Maybe a script , or maybe I have to make a text file like a playlist ..or something.

Import Image Sequence in Media Encoder CS4?

Hi all,
Is it possible to import an image sequence in Media Encoder CS4 to export it in FLV?
In the documentation, it's said in "File formats supported for import" that it supports jpg sequence (not png!?), but I don't know how to add an image sequence.
Thanks

Sorry I meant, it doesn't look like can and I find that gay.

Premiere CC crashing when dragging sequences to Media Encoder CC

I've always been able to do this in the past, but suddenly when I drag a sequence or multiple sequences to Media Encoder from Premiere, Premiere crashes and gives me the following:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[/sirreact64/releases/2013.03/shared/adobe/dvamediatypes/project/mac/../../src/TickTime.cp p-219]
and then a box pops up in Media encoder that says
Dynamic Link Error
Source is empty.
Anyone help?
17" Macbook Pro with 10.7.5
Premiere CC
Media Encoder CC

I am using the most updated version of PPro CC with OS 10.8.5. It seems to have issues with certain sequences and not others. It also may be the files themselves. They play fine in the program viewer and I have sent them to Media Encoder before, but if I create a new sequence with the same settings and copy the files into it, the same thing happens. I have a lot of 29.97 720x480 (1.21 pixels) and 1440x1080 (PAR 1.333) footage to edit together and create dvds out of (not my idea - it's a job) and I am in the middle of trying various ways of encoding to make it as clear as possible.
Currently I am using 1440x1080i HD anamorphic sequence settings encoding into 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic with frame blending, maximum render quality, Target bit rate of 30 VBR 2 pass. Then combining those files with other sequences into a longer 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic sequence and encoding MPEG 2-DVD NTSC widescreen progressive 100% quality, VBR 2 pass and the output is much better. This has been working, and today suddenly it stopped and started crashing. Any ideas?

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing. How can I trouble shoot this. I have no idea why this is failing. I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

Harm, I followed your advice. I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions. Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software. I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
Thanks for your response.

Media Encoder on separate computer help

I record gameplay from the XBOX 360 in HD and I want to know if it's possible to export my Premiere Pro sequence to Media Encoder on another computer on my network? The encoding times are slowing me down and I'd like to free up processing power by encoding on a different computer than the computer I edit and record through. Any suggestions or ideas on the best way to do this?

Media Encoder CC exporting the wrong resolution in custom preset h.264

I have two custom presets in Media Encoder CC. The original file is an mov Lossless 720x480 from After Effects. One is h.264 mp4 720x480 and the other is h.264 640x480. When I encode the resolutions are 872x480 and 581x480 respectively. Not sure what I have going on here. The presets worked with the same settings just fine in Media Encoder CS6 on another computer. Any ideas?

Premiere CC 2014 hangs when sending sequences to Media Encoder CC 2014

Whenever I try to send a sequence from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Media Encoder CC 2014, Premiere immediately freezes and becomes unresponsive. AME seems to still be running just fine.
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:
– Clearing the media cache.
– Clearing and moving the scratch disks.
– Deleting all render previews and re-building them.
– Completely re-installing all of Adobe's Creative Cloud suite.
– Importing the at-question PPCC14 project file into a fresh PPCC14 project and importing only the sequence I need to export.
– Dragging and dropping the at-question Premiere sequence into AME.
– Opening only AME and trying to drag the entire Premiere project file from Finder.app into AME's render queue. (This happens to work, as a matter of fact, however something strange happens once the sequence is in the AME queue. It pops up just fine, I can change the render settings and file export location, but when I click the green play button at the top right, nothing happens. AME doesn't hang or freeze up or anything, it's just that nothing happens. No prep, no nothing – very strange.)
– Uninstalling CUDA completely and tried using only OpenCL and software-only rendering engines.
– Opening the same at-question project on an entirely different computer.
– Trying to export from PPCC14 itself.
– Tried opening up an entirely different PPCC14 project and exporting – worked perfectly. So it must be something with this specific project file.
I eventually got it working (honestly, I'm not even sure what I did – at that point it felt like I was in a zombie state after four hours of troubleshooting and was just repeating troubleshooting steps because I was trying to hit a deadline with this export.) I was able to export it directly from PPCC14 – I was never able to get it to work with AMECC14, however.
Other miscellaneous noteworthy things: This project I'm trying to export is massive – it's a feature documentary that's about 2 hours in length. It's very complex in its edits, has a mixture of ProRes 422 files and .MTS files, and the entire project is reading media from three separate USB 3.0 hard drives. I know that's not the ideal workflow, but it's been doing just fine until this last time I tried to render out the latest export for our client.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

I've tried importing into a new blank project, but that did not seem to work. I then tried selecting the sequence in the bin and exporting that as a "Simplified Project" via the File menu. That still does not work when sending the sequence to AMECC14, but it does work when I render straight from PPCC14.
I have also found that as long as I give it enough time to load up and all that, I seem to be able to export just fine from PPCC14 itself – I'm still getting the freezing/hanging when trying to send to AMECC14 however.
Thanks for the help so far Cgunningham – I really appreciate it. I'll keep following up here if I find anything else new out.

Is Adobe Media Encoder like Compressor?

Is it best to export a finished sequence in a lossless format and then encode for distribution through Media Encoder? Is AVI/UT a good choice for the initial export?
Thanks,
James

There is no need to export to an intermediate file. Export directly from Premiere, File > Export > Media
OR
Import the Premiere Pro sequence(s) directly into AME (File . Add Premiere Pro Sequence) and code to whatever you want.

How to import .mov in adobe media encoder

how do i convert a file that was saved as a video one in adobe flash and can be played in vlc media player to h.264 in adobe media encoder?

You can still import Flash video files into AME CC 8.x, just drag them to the Queue panel and set the Format to H.264

Changing Frame Padding On Image Sequence Exports, Media Encoder

Hello Adobe World,
I am using dynamic link from After Effects to Media Encoder and I am trying to export an image sequence with a specific numbering system for input into software code. Is there any way to change the frame padding or change the numbering system for Image sequence exports?
We are trying to speed up our workflow by Batch rendering from AME. AE does let us set our frame numbering and gives us an option for creating sub-folders (it's surprising the AE is much more organized in it's export options that AME). We need to be able to render more than one thing at a time and need to keep working in AE while the files are rendering. I have not found a workable background rendering plug-in for CC14. We could use AME if there is a way to fix the Number system. We are working on a PC Windows 8. I can provide more system specs if it is necessary.
Side note: in AE we can use [#] to set the numbering value and in AME it does not work.
Thank you for your help!
Still looking for an answer on this.... it's been 2 months.... Adobe team? Anyone?

Change it to this?

Why doesn't Media Encoder like changes to preset settings?

(CS4) Adobe Media Encoder crashes whenever I set the frame rate or screen size in Premiere to be different to the supplied presets. For example, when I select FLV and change the frame rate to 24 instead of 29.97, the CrashReporterApp pops up.
Even if this frame rate is unsupported (and it shouldn't be), why does it cause a system failure?

My guess is that if you are a suspected Terrorist, even one with a P, Homeland Security kicks in in a not too subtle way.

Stop Media Encoder Compositing error? - HELP!

I am queing a sequence from Premiere Pro CC to Media Encoder. Its a composite of a subject on a green screen keyed background with some slide overlays.
When the sequence is rendered there is an odd 'cropping' effect on the slide portion of the video.
Where it should look like this
This happens throughout the entire sequence, in multiple sequences. There is no crop effect of any kind applied to the footage, the entire sequence will play out just fine from inside the timeline, the effect only shows up when rendered through AME.
When I stop AME from using OpenCL and render using Software only the problem appears to be resolved. But I definitely don't like the idea of investing so much CASH in GPU acceleration if Encoder can't effectively take advantage of it. Frustrating.
Anyone seen familiar with a fix for this kind of problem!? Thanks

This began happening to me after a recent update to my AME CC version. I found that I could rendered directly from Premier Pro CC through the export function.
It apparently has to do with 3-d memory adresses. I was doing a scene with talent over a keyed out green screen and a CGI stage set in the background. About two thirds of the background was not rendering, even after I made sure the size requirement for the graphic elements was correct.
I would be interested incomments from someone at Adobe about this situation, we cannot be th eonly ones.
Oh, I am running hardware acceleration on the open GL and have 18 gigs of memory on the motherboard. 3.2 GHZ eight core procesor.

Adobe media encoder error message - please help

I purchased adobe creative suite 4 web standard in january of 2010. I'm in the process of learning how to use all the features. I am building a website in dreamweaver and wanted to create and import a flash movie. I opened adobe media encoder from my program files. I added an avi file to the encoder, chose a medium quality for web, and clicked Start Queue. I then got the following pop up error message:
Error Message:

Adobe Media Encoder Not Working - Please help

Hi,
Whenever I try and export a video in premiere pro it makes no difference what settings I choose in the Adobe Media Encoder as the video always comes out the same size. When I first tried it I exported it as a 400kbps flash file, but that was taking too long to buffer, so I want to reduce the kpbs. I adjust the bitrate in the encoder, save the settings and everything looks like it's working but no matter what I do the video always comes out the same size. I have tried opening and closing Premiere Pro, even exporting the video as avi and then bringing it back into premiere pro to encode but no joy.
Also, in the encoder it always says "estimated file size 35mb or so but comes out the other end about 10 times that.
Its getting really, really annoying so any help would be very much appreciated.
A

Hi, many thanks for your replies.
The work area that I wish to export is 15 minutes and 38 seconds so relatively short.
I always let it finish encoding and they are all around 250MBs when this is finished.
These are the steps I am taking:
1. Menu>Export>Adobe Encoder
2. Change setting to custom and set the bit rate at 300 kpbs, Framerate 25, Keyframe interval 1, Codec On2 VP6, Audio 32kbps Mono
3. I then save this preset
4. I then click the Deinterlace button on the Output tab
5. I then click OK and save it to my external hardrive
6. Once it is finished encoding - whatever settings I have selected - it always comes out around 250 MBs which is far too big as it takes ages to buffer
If you can help you are a lifesaver!
Thanks
