Media Encoder CC and GPU

Does the new Media Encoder CC automatically use GPU and CUDA encoding when available? I tried to export H.264 from After Effects CC, but I found that you have to send it to AME for this, and then I'm not 100% sure if the GPU is used? I see that the GPU is only used about 1-2% when encoding.
I have a GTX 570 card installed, so I know that GPU is available, since it's working fine in Premiere Pro CC.

Good. Man I can't wait for it to be released.

Why can't I download Adobe Media Encoder CC and I have the the Creative Cloud Suite.

Why can't I download Adobe Media Encoder CC and I have the the Creative Cloud Suite? (Windows)

It's not a separate program, it's automatically installed alongside the other CC apps which need it (Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc).

Media Encoder CC R3D GPU Debayer?

Does anyone know if the new PrP CC update of added GPU acceleration support for debayering R3D material will also be added into Media Encoder CC, to aid in exporting quicker and not relying only on the CPU?

Best quality HDV to DVD using Premier Pro CC to Media Encoder CC and Encore

I have been struggeling to create a decent looking DVD from my HD video. I am a newbe. And I have read many, many forum posts trying to learn the best practice and have come out even more confused. Many posts are back in 2009 and I don't think they apply. Some recommend dynamic link which does not appear to be an option for me. So I am hoping to get a clear answer to my problems. I am including alot of info because I don't know what is really important.
I have 2 types of video that I am merging into my sequences.
Sony:
Format                                   : AVC
Bit rate                                 : 11.5 Mbps

I set my sequence in Premier Pro CC to
AVC-Intra 50 1080i
29.97 fps
1440 x 1080
HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.3333)
30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Hopefully I set up my sequence correctly???
Dynamic Link is not available to me, so I export the sequence. This is where i get confused.
I export to MPEG2-DVD. Preset NTSC DV Wide
Some forum posts say to tweek the video setting for better quality, this is what I have read:
quality to 100
minimum bit rate 4
target bitrate 6
maximum bitrate 7
click maximum render quality
Since my source has upper field order but PP defaults to lower field order, should I switch to upper?
I encode in Media Encoder.
In Encore, I have my dvd settings:
MPEG-2
720x480
29.97 fps
Lower fields first (should this be upper??)
I have an i5 processor, 8G ram, I am using Mecury GPU accelerator.
I listed a lot of stuff and I appologize. I just think the quallity I am getting isn't there. With these setting and what I am doing, is this as good as the quality gets?
Help

Use a 1920 x 1080, 30i sequence for the editing, not 1440 x 1080.
Start with the MPEG2-DVD option and the NTSC DV Widescreen preset. Change the Quality to 100. Change the Field Order from Lower to Upper. Change the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively. If you have hardware acceleration turned on, export away. If you're running in Software Only mode, check the Maximum Render Quality box and then export.
Bring the resulting video and audio files into Encore for authoring.

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

How do I export on Media Encoder CC and play on Premiere Pro CC without affecting the export?

I can export on media encoder and play on Premiere at the same time if I save my project > Close premiere pro > open Media encoder > import premiere pro sequence > start export > and open my project on premiere again.
But I`m having some issues with the playback quality (sometimes it stop and the audio starts getting out of sync), and the export gets slow.
Is there anything I can do to export and play at the same time?
I need the full quality of preview.
Working with codecs XDCAM HD 422 and ProRes 422 on Mac Os X 10.7.5 (2 X 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) wiht 24GB 1066 DDR3 RAM
Hope u guys can help.

You can just queue up the export right from PP, start the encode and then go back to PP to continue working. No need to close anything.
Doing this will slow down the export process, as PP will steal whatever resources it needs to run, often pausing AME to do so.

Adobe Media Encoder CC and CS6 crash on startup.

Adobe Media Encoder crashes because it tries to load a bunch of After Effects plugins that it has in common, which it has no business dabbling in. The last thing I see before it crashes is Twixtor. How do I prevent this?

Uninstall Media Encoder CC and CS6?

After running the uninstaller in the drop-down menu for Adobe Media Encoder CC (OS X 10.10.2), I am still left with a the Adobe Media Encoder CC.app and a Configuration folder (1.89 GB). O.K. to just delete the whole thing?
I also have Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (721.4 MB), which if I remember correctly did not have an uninstaller. O.K. just to delete the entire folder too?
Thank you,
David

As I mentioned I did use the uninstaller for Adobe Media Encoder CC, although I don't think there was one for Adobe Media Encoder CS6.
Maybe Adobe Media Encoder is required for some of the other applications? (I only have Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop installed.)

Premiere / Media Encoder CS5 and deinterlacing

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not at all happy with the deinterlacing results from Premiere CS5 and Media Encoder. I've been using Premiere since CS3 and hoped for improvement in CS4, but no. And now with CS5, it's still just not good...
This is what I do in an nutshell: I edit 1080i HDV video in Premiere (using 1080i timelines) and export it to several formats, including 720p for Youtube. Now, whatever I do, I alway get some staircasing / aliasing on deinterlaced output. Not really bad and hardly noticable on video, but very noticable on logo's (which - ironically - are progressive to start with). Preview in Premiere looks fine, but as soon as I put the content through media encoder: staircasing. Even with the new "Use maximum render quality" option enabled.
When I output my 1080i timeline as 1080i MPEG2 video everything looks pristine (motion adaptive deinterlacing is then done upon playback by my nVidia graphics card). When I leave all rendering options the same and export 1080p or 720p - leaving deinterlacing to media encoder - staircasting is easily visible on logo's and detail is lost in the video compared to real-time deinterlaced output by my graphics card.
I guess my main question is: Why can't Adobe get this right? nVidia and ATI can do it very well and in realtime on their graphics cards (and have been able to do so for several years now) and freeware filters such as the ones used by ffdshow do a far better job too.
Why can't a high-end and expensive video editing solution like CS5 get this right? Hugely disappointing

Hi Todd, Steve,
I'm running CS5 a Cuda enabled system (Intel Core i7 965, 12 GB DDR3, MSI GeForce GTX 285 with 2GB memory and a secondary GeForce 9400GT 1GB, running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit).
Cuda support is enabled in premiere CS5, as my timelines are yellow even when I enable cuda accelerated effects such as color correction. So no problems there.
I work with 1080i50 HDV and AVCHD files, which I normally use in a HDCAM EX 50i timeline (I use HDCAM EX because that enables me to render all effects and graphics in 1920x1080, instead of a HDV timeline which renders everyting in 1440x1080). I have tried using native HDV timelines too, but that reduces horizontal sharpness on our logo and on sceen graphics, while the deinterlacing problems I encounter are exactly the same.
The problem is that when I export an HDCAM EX timeline to 720p, I get noticable degradation in image sharpness and visible jaggies on our on-screen logo. The same applies when I export to 1080p. When I export to 1080i (so no deinterlacing is done by Premiere or Media Encoder), the file looks great on playback (deinterlacing done in real time by my nVidia card).
For the last few weeks I've been working a round the problem in a way which is not ideal for me, but which does seem to provide better results:
I now work with HDCAM EX 25p timelines instead of 50i, and I set the 'field options' flag for all my clips to 'always deinterlace'. This results in a loss of temporal resolution on my timelines (which I don't really want, since I also export to PAL 50i) but it results in noticably better sharpness and less aliasing on 720p output.
I'd love to share my on-screen logo title if you wish to have a look at it. Our logo contains a circle which shows easily visible jaggies when deinterlaced incorrectly. Please let me know how to get the files to you.
Thanks,
Eric

Premiere CS4 Media Encoder AVIs and Encore Encoding Errors

For some reason, I'm having trouble creating DVD's in Encore from AVI's exported from Premiere CS4. When encoding starts, Encore immediately pops up with an "encoding error". I now, all of a sudden get this identical error on two of our systems.
Most of the time Encore works if I export an "MP2" file from the Premiere CS4 timeline.
Any of you guys having trouble with Encore CS4? To me it has been a lot more buggy and unreliable than any previous version. The program also seems sluggish on our Q6600 4gGB RAM computers! Kind of like the program is straining just to open its windows.
Another thing that is annoying. Earlier in the day, I exported a Flash Web video for a client's review. A few hours later I had to make a 1 hour and 46 minute DVD with chapters for a client that had to be Fed Ex'd overnight. It took forever to complete and I soon realized that Encore defaulted back to the last export...FLASH! cr@p. I would prefer that the program defaulted to standard DVD creation. After all it is Encore DVD.

I'm having major problems with Media Encoder CS4.
When I try to create an AVI file (for example) from a section of my Premiere Pro CS4 timeline, the encoder opens, takes forever to load the project, and then, after I hit start queue button, it again takes forever to load the project in the small window at the bottom of the display.
Finally the "waiting" message in the queue list turns to an orange exclamation mark with the message that encoder "could not read from the source. PLease check if it has been moved or deleted." Which of course it has not been. THis happens even if I preview the section in advance in Premiere. material.
If at any point I hit the settings button it simply reloads the project

Media Encoder not using GPU in CC2014.2

I updated to CC2014.2 yesterday.
Rendering a project from Premiere Pro's Export function engaged the GPU as expected, I hear the fans spin up, renders are fast.
However, when sending to Media Encoder, project render times are astronomical, the GPU is not engaging despite CUDA being switched on in all applicable options. The difference is a few minutes vs 2 hours. No non-native plug-ins are in use.
This was not a problem a few days ago with CC2014.1. For the moment I'm stuck to exporting directly from Premiere until it's fixed. Has anyone else experienced similar bugs?
Windows 7 64
GeForce 580GTX 3GB
Driver 341.44

Hmm it seems we both broke the rule of "don't update mid project!"
Still, hopefully this will lead to a quick fix, since it will affect many professional quite badly.
Yes for me it's just no GPU rendering in Media Encoder. I've been able to get through this by using Export, which is extremely fast.
My timeline playback works fine too as does Speedgrade, so it appears this is an issue with Media Encoder alone on my machine.

Media encoder CS4 and AVID

I am trying to use the standalone Media Encoder that comes with Production Premium CS4 to convert some Quicktime reference files created by our AVID Media Composer systems. I have tried importing a QT ref that points to the AVID JFIF 2:1 media (Quicktime recognizes it as Avid Meridien Compressed 2:1) and a self-containd QT that is holding an AVID DV codec. In each case, import into the Media Encoder results in black for video. The Media Encoder that comes with CS3 works fine. Why does the Media Encoder for CS4 not?
I have searched several forums here and at Creative Cow to no avail. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

In the event that someone else has this issue, here is my solution.
I found that the version of Media Encoder installed by my install disc (I think it was 4.0.0.394) works fine. As soon as I apply ANY updates, it breaks. As these installs are on 32-bit systems that CANNOT be updated to a 64-bit OS, this is my only solution.

Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezing and crashing upon clicking "Start Queue" - every sequence!

Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezes when queue starts with sequences from Premiere. However, sequences opened from Media Encoder's "Add Sequence" export fine. Have re-installed (without first un-installing), issue is ongoing. I have several important deadlines fast approaching, please help! Media cache has been cleared (both automatically and manually), computer has been defragged and scanned for disk errors... I am absolutely stumped!

I've checked the anti-virus (I didn't think of that!), but it doesn't seem to make any change.
I've had Window Task Manager running while trying to export, it would seem that the problem occures when PProHeadless.exe opens. If I manually close it right before clicking "Start Queue", AME doesn't freeze until PProHeadless.exe re-starts once more.
Any information on forums regarding PProHeadless.exe seem more to do with an error message, not that the application itself is causing problems. I've tried multiple different sequences, all with different footage, different types of files and all with the same result.
Would a complete reformat or Windows and CS4 be the only answer? I dread the thought but I'm getting desperate.

CS4 Media Encoder - 7Mbps and 5.1 audio too much?

I recently re-encoded an SD DVD with a higher bitrate after initially using the "high quality" preset. I did the calcs and the 1 hour 15 minute video with 5.1 DD audio worked out to a 7MPBS CBR and fit on one single layer DVD.
The picture quality is of course very crisp. However, my problem is my player seems to be a bit glitchy on fast forwards. Even froze for a while. And there are a few blips or glitches in the video I did not notice in the lower bitrate render and burn.
I know that 8Mbps can be too much for some players to handle. But could 7Mbps and 5.1 audio be too much? Not sure what Mbps that combination adds up to. I also put quality on 5. Not sure of that setting's impact.
Should I try 6Mbps CBR or go back to variable? I am assuming that the issue is the render settings. I am using the same media, same timeline, same playback chain, etc.
I am somewhat surprised that the "high quality" preset has a low of 1.5, target of 4 and max of 5 and "quality" of 4. Or am I pushing it too hard with my settings? I figured since I had the space and was not trying to cram 2 hours on a SL DVD, why not max out the file size.
Clearly there is a setting or combination of settings that is creating a problem. Any help most appreciated!
BJBBJB1

I know that 8Mbps can be too much for some players to handle.
That's actually not true. ALL DVD players will handle a combined video/audio bitrate of around 10 Mbps. The cause of playback issues is more likely disks that don't read properly in the player.
The solution is threefold:
1. Quality burner (Sony/NEC is a very good brand)
2. Quality disks (Falcon Pro are the best I've used, better even than Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden)
3. Correct format (Some players work better with -R, some prefer +R)
