Media Encoder CC mpeg2 Question

Basically what the title says. Where exactly is the option to format a video into an mpeg2 file? I've been Googling this to death. I know I've seen some people say they had it, then it disappeared. But I literally just downloaded Media Encoder and its nowhere to be found. Even under the DVD and Blue-ray section, the only options are for Blue-ray. I need to burn a wedding video onto a DVD. Is there something special you have to do to get this done? Are there limits on the free trial version that don't allow mpeg2 downloads? Help!

Are you using AME CC 2014?  MPEG2 is included in AME under more strict license than other formats and is only activated only if you have Premiere Pro CC 2014, AfterEffects CC 2014 or Prelude CC 2014.  If you are using them under a free trial, MPEG2 becomes unavailable after a trial period expires.  After a trial has been expired, AME CC 2014 can be used extra 30 more days, but without MPEG2. 
If you already used up a trial period, you can either 1) install one of three apps I mentioned earlier that you haven't installed before and activate it as a trial or 2) purchase a subscription for Creative Cloud.  #1 option allows you to use MPEG2 30 more days.  With #2 option, you can use MPEG2 as long as you keep your subscription active.  I hope this helps.

  • Exporting through Adobe Media Encoder as MPEG2-DVD but quality is pixelated. Help!

    So, I am exporting my project through media encoder - MPEG2-DVD, Quality 5, NTSC, 29.97 drop frame, Progressive, Standard 4:3, VBR 2 Pass, 7.4697, 7.4697, 8.0382, Frames 3 & 15. I have done this process many, many times. Today, I am getting this pixelated junk when I pull the exported file into Encore. It looks smooth in the window prior to export but then it comes out like this. I am using footage that I captured into Premiere Pro and animation created in After Effects. Can anyone help?

  • Media Encoder CS5 MPEG2 Import

    Hi,
    i was just trying out the trial version of Flash CS5 and the Media Encoder. I tried to encode some mpeg2 files as f4v, but the media encoder says it cannot decode mpeg2-files. The help topic (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/mediaencoder/cs/using/WS725e431141e7ba651e63e3d1267818bc51-800 0.html) says: "Depending on what other software you have installed, the following options may be available: ... mpeg-2..."
    so i was wondering which piece of other software i need to use mpeg-2 as input format for the media encoder.
    cheers, CY

    On the Mac I think you need QuickTime Pro and the the MPEG-2 component. I think they make it for Windows as well.

  • Media Encoder CC audio question

    I have a ProRes standard def file (.mov) with 2 stereo pairs of audio.  I am trying to export it to a DVCPROHD Quicktime (.mov) with the same audio configuration. 
    This seems to be impossible.  My audio export options as a Quicktime file with this codec are 1 mono track, 1 stereo pair or 2 mono channels.  This would result in a downmix, which I do not want. 
    There is a setting which allows me to have this video codec and the audio configuration I want, but the resulting file will be in a .mxf wrapper, which I cannot use.
    Is there really no way to just do audio passthrough in Media Encoder?

    I am running version 8.2.0.54 currently.
    So... I start Media Encoder, add a file with 1 video track and 8 discrete channels of audio to the queue, select "QuickTime" for my export, select "custom" from the dropdown under "export settings", select the "audio" tab and go to the "basic audio settings" where I can select the number of audio channels I need under the "channels" pull-down menu.
    Yes, this seems to work fine!  I wonder why I couldn't get this to work yesterday (or ever, really), despite doing what I thought was exactly that.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Adobe Media Encoder de-interlace question

    My video in the preview displays horribly interlaced, this is odd because the footage in the timeline displays correctly and clearly as well as my original footage. What seems to be the problem, I've tried rendering with de-interlace as well, it still shows fairly bad after being rendered.
    All my original footage is 1280x720, 25fps.
    My settings:
    Format: H.264
    Range: Entire Sequence
    NTSC, 1280x720, 25[fps], Progressive
    AAC, 160 [kbps], 48 kHz, Stereo
    VBR, 2 Pass, Target 8.00, Max 8.00 [Mbps]
    Video Codec: MainConcept H.264 Video
    TV Standard: NTSC

    Attached Files to show ya what I mean.
    Rendering an uncompressed video yeilds the same results as Media Encoder.

    On further inspection, Even still renders are interlaced like mad...
    What's wrong?!
    EDIT:
    I fixed it!!! Apparently when speeding up or slowing down clips, it merges the frames together giving off that horrible look! So I turned off "frame blend" And it looks super awesome.

  • Old quicktime with flash layer + adobe media encoder

    Hi,
    I have some quicktime .mov files.
    These play fine in the older quicktime 6
    They do not play in the newer quicktime 7
    I posted about this issue at a Quicktime forum and discovered it is an issue with the flash layer in the newer quicktime.
    These files do not display in Adobe Media Encoder.
    My question is how is Adobe Media encoder affected by the Quicktime codecs?
    Would removing Quicktime 7 from my machine and installing an older version effect AME?
    Would it then be able to se the files and encode them to f4v?
    If not are there any other solutions?
    Rather desperate, I am doing a site for an animator and all the content I have been provided with is like this.
    I could send a sample file if needed
    Thanks
    mark

    Anders,
    I have to make sure we are talking about the same thing. In the Effects Control Panel, you twirled open the Opacity intrinsic effect and clicked on the stopwatch to create a keyframe, correct?
    I ask this because you can also adjust the Opacity by using the clip's opacity "rubber band" in the timeline, but no keyframes get added there unless you use the Pen tool or a modifier key in combination with the selection tool.
    For the workaround to fix the issue, a keyframe has to be created.

    PS - You're welcome. :)

  • Adobe Media Encoder Error with MPEG2 Formats [../../src/Command.cpp-2519]

    I am trying to use some of my presets using MPEG2 format and it is giving me this error: [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/ame602_mac/main/app/frontend/prj/mac/../../src/Command.cpp-251 9]. I try the system presets that use MPEG2 and I get the same error. I notice if I try to make a new preset, I do not even have the option to choose MPEG2. I only get MPEG4 or MPEG4 (Legacy). I am using AME 7.0.2; if anyone has an idea on why I can't use MPEG2 please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi mboory,
    Please mention the exact version of Media Encoder CS6 that you are using and also the version of operating system. Please check the below link as well.

  • Adobe Media Encoder won't open MPEG2 files

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping you can help me, I'm having some trouble with Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it won't open any MPEG2 files I throw at it.
    They all open fine in Media Player Classic, MPC-HC and VideoLan, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
    Any ideas greatfully appreciated.
    Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium
    AME CS4 4.2.0.006

    Jim Simon, one came from a creative production house and a couple  came from a website that provides various videos in various formats for  testing video players.
    Thanks for the information Colin Brougham.  Can any MPEG 2 importers/decoders be used?
    I'm  new to AME so perhaps I don't understand how it works entirely but on  the AME information page on the Adobe website it says that MPEG2 files  can be imported, and there is no mention of only being able to do so  with certain Adobe products (unless I missed it).
    However,  if I can open and play MPEG2 Files in various media players, surely  there is a way to use the decoders from those to work with AME?
    All advice greatly appreciated.

  • Why Adobe media Encoder makes 3 files when export in MPEG2 ?

    I try to compress a sequence using File-Export-Adobe Media Encoder -MPEG2-DVD. I want to reduce the size of my sequence (normaly exported as .AVI file) When done, I have 3 files: 1) .m2v 2) .Wav 3) .mcses
    What are theses files ? Should I use something else to reduce the size of my files to fit on a 4.7G DVD...?
    Thanks !
    Franc St-Louis

    The .m2v file contains the MPEG-2 video.
    The .wav file contains the PCM (uncompressed) audio.
    The .mcses file contains information about chapter markers.
    Encore will use the MPEG-2 file "as is" and by default compress the PCM audio to Dolby Digital (AC3).
    There are basically two options to make your project fit on a DVD:
    Export a DV AVI file from Premiere and let Encore decide on the best compression settings "on automatic".
    Do a bit budget calculation and use the bit rate numbers found in Premiere's Media Encoder.
    To assist you with the bit budget you can use one of these online calculators:
    Bitrate Calculator
    CustomFlix Bit Budget Calculator
    Chris Linke Bit Budget Calculator
    DVD-HQ Bitrate & GOP calculator

  • Media Encoder CS4 Question

    I use the CS4 media encoder quite a bit for creating FLV content for my web site.  However, I noticed that the encoder crashed on me the other day with an error pointing to the media cache.  Is it OK to clear the media cache once a week, so I avoid any corrupted files.  What are the best practices in emptying the media cache?  I know After Effects has a menu option for emptying the media cache, but Media Encoder doesn't.  Any help you can give will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks....
    Man, the link's explanation is more complex than the question! 

  • Alpha Channel / Media Encoder Question

    Hello All,
    I have a question that I think is just something I'm overlooking. I have a Comp with a logo. The logo is made up of various files and does not have a solid background. It's very similar to a lower third.When I render it out in AE via the Render Que I have no issues and the Alpha channel works as expected when imported into PPRO. The setting I use is QuickTime>Animation>RGB+Alpha, etc.
    This morning I decided I wanted to start rendering via Media Encoder. I watched the video Colin Smith did a bout a year ago to refresh my memory.
    I fired up Media Encoder, dragged my logo comp into ME and everything seemed to being going beautifully. I chose QuickTime> Animation codec>etc.
    However when imported the file into PPRO the Alpha channel did not render. Where the Alpha channel is supposed to be PPRO read as black video. I went back in ME and doubled checked all of the settings. I do not see anywhere in ME where you can specify an Alpha channel as you can in AE where you can specify "RGB+Alpha".
    Is there a setting in ME to activate/read the alpha channel that I'm missing? I'd really like to use ME for future AE comp renderings but unless I can get around the Alpha channel issue I won't be able to.
    CS6 all up to date
    Win Vista (not that I think any system specs matter in this instance).
    Thank you in advance,
    Shane

    From AME, add the file to the render queue and click either the codec or preset to open the After Effects export settings. Under Basic Video Settings selecting a Depth of 32 bit will enable the alpha channel. If using a 10-bit or greater codec, set the Depth to 64 bit.
    As an aside, have you considered creating a Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro to the After Effects file? It eliminates the need for an intermediate file and allows you to maintain a bit depth up to 32bpc.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder question...

    Hi,
    I got a question regarding the Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder.
    I am converting a sequence in Premiere Pro CS3 which contains footage from a '.vob' file which is NTSC, 720x480, 16:9 to a '.flv' file.
    Now I'm doing this via Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder and it let's me choose the Width & Height but there is no checkbox to keep the proportions - which I find is very, very inconvenient...
    So if I wanna convert this to a .flv file which is 400 high, the width should be 600, right ?
    Also, there is no way to specify to keep the 16:9 aspect ratio.
    Is that done automatically or how/where can I specify it ?
    Thanx for your help in advance !
    Mike

    If you want 16:9. you need to consider that the lower number should probably be divisible by 72. So, if you want something about 600 wide, I would use 360 for the lower number which gives you a frame size of 640X360
    When divisible by 72, it is evenly divisible by both 8, which is great for encoders, and 9, which is the frame ratio you want.
    Just choose square pixels and you will be fine.

  • CPU Usage Question between Premier and Media Encoder

    Hey guys,
    Here is the question. I just built a new machine with the following specs:
    Intel i7 2.66GHz process overclocked to 3.2GHz
    12GB Memory
    Nvidia 260 Overclocked video card.
    When I export a video from Adobe Premier into Media Encoder, all 8 cores peg out at 100% and thus my CPU temp get hot really quick (78 - 80 degrees Celsius)
    Now if I take the same original video file and just drag it into Media Encoder, my 8 cores only show about 24-40% usage and the temp only gets to around 55-60 degrees Celsius.
    What is causing such a big difference in CPU usage? I'm afraid to use Adobe Premier as it causes the CPUs to max out everytime. I want to edit my videos, but as stuck with just using AME on the original files.

    I suspect its simply because in the first case Pr and AME are both running. In the later, just ame loading the Pr project. In the forst case two projects are running simultaneously, the one in Pr and a temp copy in AME.
    But more troublesome to me is why youve built a system that cant be maxed out. IN editing, we Want the CPUs to peg to process as fast as possible. IMHO; You should re-think the design of your workstation if it overheats so easily.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Question

    Hey everyone! So I just switched from using AE CS5.5 to AE CC, which now has me use the Media Encoder to render all my files, which frankly is AWESOME. However, I sometimes like to render out a piece of a long video I'm editing so I can get a glimpse at how it is looking so far without having to wait for it to completely finish. With CS5.5 I was able to just *stop* rendering, and the video would publish to my desktop and end wherever I had stopped it. With Media Encoder when I hit stop, the file is nowhere to be found as if the program just throws it away after canceling. Is there a way to make it still render what it already got through so I at least have a partial file to view??

    On further inspection, Even still renders are interlaced like mad...
    What's wrong?!
    EDIT:
    I fixed it!!! Apparently when speeding up or slowing down clips, it merges the frames together giving off that horrible look! So I turned off "frame blend" And it looks super awesome.

  • Media Encoder Question-With Explainable Images

    OS: Vista 32bit
    Producet:Adobe Premiere Pro Cs3
    Issue: concerning export settings
    For: Facebook videos. req. H.264 video with AAC audio in MOV or MP4 format, 30fps, 44,100hz
    I've have been exporting stuff for a while by File>Export Adobe Media Encoder, when timeline is fully selected.  Not sure if this helps but including anyways.
    My concern is the settings to get a proper enough quality for facebook. 720HQ video
    Settings are shown in the pictures:
    Now my real problem is audio, which I need as the video has people singing and playing music.
    Now I dont know if its some pre-setting, codec i'm missing, or etc.
    But I do notice two thing when I exported audio:
    -the Audio quality, which i've worked through soundbooth so its a wav file, is reduced after compiling in Adobe Premiere.  In which i noticed odd fluctuations when there are peaks of the sort.  Noticed that Apple Lossless kept the quality but was not an accepted audio format by facebook.
    -I'm missing AAC format whichi i've been searching on the interenet with no solution
    Two kind answers I'm looking for:
    -solution to finding out why AAC audio codec isn't an option and add it as a choice
    -find the best recommended audio export settings

    adjust these settings to suit your own video...export setting fps should match your source and project.
    my test on 1920x1080p 24fps came out fine , plays well on computer using classic media player.
