Just how hard it is to export using Adobe Media Encoder ?

For those who have CS4 already, just how difficult is it to export
to Adobe Media Encoder ?
Right now it's very simple, you make up your work area for example, and export.
So with CS4, I must do what exactly to do this ?
Do I have to save the project with the work area selected, exit, now open Adobe Media Encoder and now select "open project" and now load this up and then export ?
Please tell me it ain't so.
I'd like to hear the steps to do this. I have to be honest, what once was an exciting time, has turned into a disappointing time now, reading all the things Adobe had changed ( for no good reason ). I just don't understand sometimes why they do things. I think they should get more input from poeple that use their products on a daily basis, so they know what they should touch, and what not to touch.
I'm actually not looking forward to upgrading now, even though I will, because of a few things that look good in the new version.
Dave.

It ain't so.
The workflow remains pretty much the same until you finally click the OK button. At that point the AME will open up and you can choose to start the queue immediately or switch back to PPro and do several more exports before starting the queue.
Read all about exporting
from the horse's mouth. ;)
You will also find several
CS4 tutorials that will show you how it's done.

Exporting using Adobe Media Encoder broken

I am trying to export a Premiere Pro CS4 sequence to a Microsoft DV AVI file. The sequence includes a After Effects composition. I was able to export an AVI from this same sequence one time before, but I'm getting the following error now:
- Source File: E:\VideoProjects\YouthTour\whatisYLC2010\PP\whatisYLC2010.prproj
- Output File: E:\VideoProjects\YouthTour\whatisYLC2010\wmv\ylc2010_rough3.avi
- Preset Used: NTSC DV
- Video: 720x480, 29.97 [fps], Lower, Quality 100
- Audio: 48000 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 01:24:31
6/2/2010 1:44:10 PM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I can't figure out any logical reason. I haven't installed any new, other than the recent update for Photoshop CS4. The error occurs about halfway through the encoding process, not right away. I'm on Windows Vista 64-bit.

The problem with Unknown errors is that no one really knows what causes them.

Create a flash video using adobe media encoder cc 2014

How to create a flash video using adobe media encoder cc 2014?

removal of FLV and F4V export features from Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere Pro

Why "Export Error Codec Initialization Problem!" when I export using Adobe Media Encorder for FLV?

I get "Export Error - Codec Initialization Problem!" when I try to export a project using Adobe Media Encoder as a Macromeida Flash Video. Premiere Pro 2.0 goes through the rendering process but no file is created; just the Export Error message. What does this mean, and what do I need to do to export a project as a FLV file?
Thanks.

Sounds weird... You could try the standard fix for general unexplained behaviour in a document; export it to idml, open that, save as an Indesign file and try exporting again. If that doesn't work try a few different presets, like smallest file size. If that doesn't work try opening your image in Photoshop, resaving as a psd, placing that (delete your old one) and see if that helps. Obviously do this on a copy....

Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 loses sound.

So... I've been having a hell of a time with the new Adobe creative cloud when it comes to video editing. The drop of .flv format, unable to straight export .H24 formats from after effects, it's a total nightmare. Here's the issue, to export as a .H24, you now have to use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014. The biggest issue, however, is at the end of the export, when you open the video, half of the video's sound is mysteriously GONE. Just gone. If you go back to after effects, look at the file and the audio, the wave forms are there. There's nothing that would make it lose sound. Audio is selected on export... I have no idea what's up. Editing videos for youtube was a snap in previous versions of After Effects, now It's becoming almost impossible.

Using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects - 6/23/14

Very disappointed with this choice. I will definitely be seeking to uninstall this version and go back a version or two. Two many extra steps to export an mp4 now. And now we also have to wait longer for a mp4 to render and can't take advantage of the machine's hardware? You guys fighting mp4 as a standard, forcing us to an additional product, or what? I'll be sharing my extreme disappoint with this 'upgrade' with the rest of the developers at work and who just had it installed. I'm not seeing this being too popular opn social media either. Seems like you only did what was best for you.Thanks for showing us who's boss.

Not necessarily. You can render an intermediate codec with AE's render queue (thus using all of AE's power to render) and then drop that file into the Adobe Media Encoder.
This was the workflow I've always used - even when AE could encode with MP4. Why? Well, because AE sucked at MP4 encoding. You couldn't even do multipass endoding with it!
This is a useful workflow in a few ways:
1. You have an archive-quality file to come back to in the future.
2. You can use AE's full power to render.
3. You can use AME's superior encoding capabilities.
4. You can tweak your compression settings and try various encoding parameters to improve the quality while decreasing the bitrate of your product WITHOUT having to re-render the AE comp every time you try since you're working off of the intermediate file. I mean, imagine a comp with several 3d layers, depth of field, shadows from multiple lights, and 250,000 particles from Particular. What if you made an MP4 and then the client needed a smaller file size or the MP4 you made was too heavily compressed and you needed higher quality? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather only render that 18-hour monster once.
This workflow actually saves time for many people.
And, in any workflow, this produces a better product.
Again, this is what I did even when AE could encode MP4's.
Frank VA wrote:

They aren't fighting MP4 as a standard, in fact, when Adobe folks pop in here and answer questions, that's often their recommendation for delivery codec.

Listen, I understand your frustration. Knocking out a quick compressed file from AE for client review is handy.
However, maintaining the h.264 encoding in AE took up development time. There are only so many person-hours per week for the (relatively tiny) AE team to spend on building each version of AE.
I never liked AE's h.264 encoding - AME has always done a superior job. Since we have AME to do our encoding, I would rather the AE team focus their effort on improving AE as a compositing and motion graphics tool rather than as an encoding tool.
Again, I get the frustration. I can see where it feels like they are doing what's good for them and not us, but I think, in the long run, this way is better for us. Right now, the majority of the AE team is working on making AE faster to work with and faster to render. The sooner we get a relatively bug-free version of that, the better! (Especially for folks on Mac OSX Yosemite who can't RAM preview smoothly in any version of AE).
And at least the After Effects team has been very transparent about things - for example, this blog post talks about their reasoning: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects

Problems to Export to Adobe Media Encoder!

Hi, I´ve a problem to export to Adobe Media Encoder!
When in Premiere Pro CS4, I click in Files - Export - Media.. it shows a display saying: "An Adobe Media Encoder update s available for this version of Premiere Pro.."
But I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4 to 4.21 and Media Encoder to 420! Both are installed!
And the display message s showed yet! So I cant send the project into Media Encoder by click, just if i open Media Encoder..
How do I solve this?
Because before I´ve updated Premiere Pro CS4, I´didnt have this boring message..
Thanks for your help!
Gustavo

Gustavo,
Though you have updated, it appears that the updater still thinks that you have not.
The first thing that I would do is follow the suggestion in the message. An alternative would be to close PrPro, and open Bridge, then choose Help>Update from there. Not sure why updating from Bridge seems to do things better, but it does for many.
This should do one of two things: actually do the update (maybe it only was applied partially? and clear the updater notification. I have had similar with Acrobat Pro, where it took three attempts to get the update to both complete and then to clear the notification messages.
Now, when I go to update from Adobe, I first shut off my AV, pop-up blockers and spysweeper programs. I trust Adobe.com, so do not want anything getting in the way. One more thing to do, prior to updating is to make sure that you have the very latest Adobe Flash Player installed. More and more, Adobe's installers rely on Flash Player.
That is all that I can think of now, other than Good Luck!

"R6025 -pure virtual function call" Error While Use Adobe Media Encoder

I'm trying to use Adobe Media Encoder (CS3) to output a project to H.264. I have about 3 minutes of footage on the Premier Pro CS3 Timeline, all of it in Cineform AVI intermediate format. When I export the movie through AME and select 2-pass VBR, it gets through the first pass, but crashes at 50% on the second pass with the error:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program E:\Progra...
R6025
-pure virtual function call"
Any ideas what may be causing this error?

Point taken...
I'm on a Dell XPS 720 Windows XP (32-bit) system, with all up-to-date service packs and patches. I have 4GB RAM installed, and Production Premium CS3, TMPGEncXPress and Cineform's Neo Scene. Neo Scene is a recent addition and the problem existed prior to its installation. I have two 7900GS graphics cards (each with 256MB video RAM), running in SLI mode.
I dual boot Windows XP: One system is "Messy" with all kinds of stuff installed. The other is "Clean" and has virtually nothing installed, except for the three suites previously mentioned. No anti-virus or anti-spyware software is installed on the Clean system. I get the error on both systems.
I saw the post from September 2007 reference vcredist_x86. I'll be trying that at my next opportunity, however, I'm not sure that will fix it, as I don't see why both systems would suffer from the same corruption. I'll also be swapping out RAM to see if that fixes the issue.

Encoding h.264 video for iPad using Adobe Media Encoder CS5

All kind of help is appreciated since I already spent more than a day trying to get this to work.

Even Main Profile, Level 3.1 (compressed with AME CS5) works in the real thing when embedding according to my "reports".
Gaaaah, what a waste of time relying on a not-so-reliable simulator!

Computer freezes when exporting with Adobe Media Encoder

Why cant I encode a .mov using Adobe Media Encoder CC to .mp4 or .ogv to use in Edge?

Why cant I encode a .mov using Adobe Media Encoder CC to .mp4 or .ogv to use in Edge?

Yeah, mp4 in HTML5 browsers is h.264 encoded - h.264 is a subset of MPEG-4 standard. More info here:
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For ease of use in AME, if you look at the right side of the UI in the presets, the Web Video > YouTube presets are the ones that will encode to h.264 with the mp4 extension.
hth,

My YouTube video looks blurry using Adobe Media Encoder

Im trying to upload a video to YouTube but the video always turns out blurry and pixilated regardless of what settings I use in my Adobe Media Encoder. I shot the video on a Sony 1080i HD camcorder, I know YouTube reduces the quality but I expect my images (ie peoples faces) should still be clear enough to see but that hasnt been the case. I went to the following site for guidance but I still cant get it right.
http://www.squidoo.com/youtuberight
Here are my settings that I thought would make my video look great on YouTube. What am I doing wrong?

Frame Height (pixels): 240
4:3 Aspect Ratio
30 frames per second
TV Standard: NTSC
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 1 Pass

I heard sometime ago that YouTube converts everything uploaded to
Flash or FLV format. I have not used the iPod format for this purpose in CS3 but Rick has obviously found that it works well, however, I would recommend using Adobe Media Encoder to FLV and set it to 320X240 with no more than 1MB/sec bit rate to maximize quality and minimize file size since it's not going to be larger than that on Youtube.
The FLV raw file will be ecoded using VP6 or Sorenson's older version courtesy of PPro CS3 unfortunatley, but I feel the best codec to use is 264. Why PPro, especially CS3, does not offer this codec is unkown. That could be a reason why Rick's videos look good and that he may have shot them in HD. But then again, HD to 320X240 would seem to be self defeating. iPod format is indeed, believe it or not, 720X480. If you have published anything to the iTunes store, this is a required format which is not optional as it is with Youtube.

Video faster than audio when use Adobe Media Encoder to convert f4v to mp4

I am using Adobe Captivate 5 on a mac record a demonstration, and I have published my project to .f4v. Now I am using Adobe Media encoder to convert the .f4v file to .mp4 (to play on an ipod). The output LOOKS good, but the video is running much faster than the audio. To be clear, the audio is running at the correct pace, but the video is going by much too quickly.

From Captivate, I tried changing the fps to a variety of speeds (12, 20, 30, 40, 60) when publishing to f4v. Then in Adobe Media Encoder, when I converted to mp4, I tried keeping the fps the same as the source f4v, reducing it, or increasing it. After all these experiments, I found that changing the fps in Adobe Media Encoder had no effect at all. Only changing the fps in the source f4v had an effect. Reducing it to 12 made the probelm worse (the video went by even faster), and increasing it as high as 60 made a SLIGHT improvement, but not enough to get things in sync. Changing the key frame distance in AME had no effect.

Export Quick Time using Adobe Media Encoder...

I'm a Windows (vista) user and I rarely use the Quick Time options in the Adobe Media Encoder but nonetheless, I have in the past. I was called on today to export a Quick Time of a video for a Mac using client and every time I selected an Adobe preset under Quick Time, 'Custom' would appear where it should normally say something like 'Source to Download 256' or whatever. (Sorry I can't check now, I'm rendering a big project). So no matter what preset I picked, I'd get 'Custom' appearing as my choice. Is this normal or has something gone wrong in the innards!?
Sorry, I have no other computer to check with Premiere Pro CS3 installed.
Thanks

Thanks for the input. So just to confirm, you're saying that if I choose one of the Adobe Presets under QuickTime, that that setting should STAY visible in the selection box. Yes? Just like the others. Windows Media, Adobe Flash, etc...
Because mine immediately changes to CUSTOM after I make a QuickTime selection. Also, it DOES NOT give me a file size estimate like the others. Does this make sense?

Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

Hi.
I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character. Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps. I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project. (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context. It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps? I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
Thanks

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels). I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio. i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think). But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
Thanks

Just how hard it is to export using Adobe Media Encoder ?
