Media Encoder changing my dimensions!

Hi guys!
Thank you for reading my question, I know I am probably doing something wrong here but I am breaking my head and I need some help.
I made something in After Effects at a size of (1920x1080) Picture 1. When I exported through media encoder and chose "Frame Size: Based on Source" Picture 2.
The final file changes, the dimensions instead of being 1920x1080 to 2560 × 1080 Picture 3.
I want to be able to render through media encoder but keep the dimensions on my original file 1920x1080.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thank you.
Picture 1.
Picture 2.
Picture 3.

Change it to this?

  • Adobe Media Encoder changes dimensions

    In After Effects I add my 480x320 composition to  Adobe Media Encoder Queue. Then in AME I keep the default settings (H.264, Match Source - High bitrate).
    It seems to me I should end up with a 480x320 video, but the result is 436x320. What am I missing?
    After Effects CC, Adobe Media Encoder CC

    Try this. Render your project using the Render Cue to something like Jpeg Quicktime at best quality. Check the size.
    Bring the footage into the AME and edit the H.264 frame size and frame rate to 480 X 320. Render a test and check the footage size by opening it in QT or your windows media player and check the frame size using the info or movie info window.
    If you get different size than your encoded with h.264 then tell us more about your project.
    BTW 720 X 480 is a rectangular pixel frame size for either widescreen or 4:3 SD video. What you got was the square pixel equivalent which is what you want for web delivery.
    Come to think of it, you should also check the PAR of your comp. If it is not square pixels then you're doing something wrong. The only time you should ever use non square pixels is if you are rendering specifically for SD TV delivery or rendering back to a camera acquisition format that does not use square pixels. I'll bet the PAR is your problem.

  • Export to Media Encoder Changes the Aspect Ratio

    Hi,
    How can I create an animation at a ratio of 720x576 (or any other size) without Premiere Pro changing it the moment I send it to export to make the animation?
    I have a brief for an animation at 720x576, I have created a sequence of images for the animation - at 720 x 576 - I have created a sequence in Premiere Pro CS4 at a size of 720x576 -  it looks okay except for vertical black bars at either side - but the moment I export it to the media encoder and it renders it out - the image is all crunched up as if the height is 720 and the width is 576 - wrong!
    (P.S. I used Premiere Pro CS2 at Uni and it was fine because I could tell Premiere to use or not use Square Pixels and I could tell it a custom pixel ratio and it would do as I said - CS4 seems to ignore me or just not give me any of the options I need.)
    Help?
    I have searched in Faq's and around the Forum but found nothing that seems to relate to my problem.

    As Ann states, if one gets letterboxing, or pillarboxing, there is a mis-match. It can be in the Aspect Ratio, (pixel x pixel dimensions of the Frame Size), or the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio). These MUST match 100%. If you have Square Pixels in your animation, then you MUST choose Square Pixels in your Sequence setting. If you do not find an exact match in the normal Presets, you will want to choose Desktop, where you CAN adjust almost all attributes for the Sequence to match your source footage.
    Good luck,

  • Media Encoder changes the timecode when converting to Quicktime ProRes 422 (LT)

    After spending the majority of my day searching for a solution to this problem, I am hoping someone here will know how to resolve this issue.
    After encoding several hundred clips of various file types to ProRes 422 LT at 23.976fps in Media Encoder, we discovered that the timecode of the source clips and the LT clips varies significantly when we bring the quicktime clips into FCP 7 or Quicktime 7.  This is also creating issues for the EDL.
    The source clips are XDCamHD, H.264, and .R3D files. We set up a batch in AME with a preset for ProRes (LT) at 23.976. After the batch processes, we import the clips into FCP 7 then export an EDL from the sequence.  The EDL shows timecodes that do not match the source clips.
    The timecode is off by several hours, not just a few frames. If we look at the LT clips in Premiere, the timecode seems to match the source clip. In Final Cut, not even close.
    Any ideas on where to start on this one?
    If we use RedCineX to convert the R3D files, things seem to work. Also, compressor seems to have correct results. We were hoping that media encoder would be the solution as it processes these clips much faster.
    We are looking for a solution that doesn't involve re-transcoding all of the footage.

  • Media Encoder PCM or Dolby Digital Settings change preset????

    I am about to Encode a 2 and a half hour project from PPRO 5.5 into Media Encoder.
    If I set my format to H.264 Blu-Ray and my Pre set to 1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality, My audio automatically sets to PCM Audio? Why?
    When I use the H.264 Blu-Ray with my Pre set to 1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality, and I Press the Dolby Digital as my audio instead of PCM, my Preset changes to Custom. (1440 x 1080i goes away)
    Why is this? Is that what is supposed to happen?
    I had read that Dolby takes up less space without losing that much quality.
    I'm trying to encode this file to about 15GB with keeping the best quality Audio and Video I can.

    Jim,
    In case you missed it, his program is 2hours 40 minutes, so in that case, space is at a premium and I would go for the Dolby.
    It is normal for Media Encoder to create PCM audio, that is OK, Encore will TRANSCODE it to Dolby later and shrink it down.
    Edwurd, please see you other posting for more info about encoding size
    Thanks
    Jeff
    Jeff is right.
    Let Media Encoder make the .264 and .wav files and have Encore automatically transcode the pcm to ac-3 (since it's licensed to do so and AME is not). Don't multiplex them into a mp4 or mov container; it'll make it blu-ray illegal (even though Encore will allow you to import it).

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC renders do not reflect changes to Dynamically Linked After Effects Comps

    When rendering a Premiere timeline with a dynamically linked After Effects composition, Adobe Media Encoder will sometimes use an older version of the linked composition (even after I have saved changes in the After Effects comp).
    For example, if I correct a spelling mistake on some text in After Effects, save the composition, and then add the sequence to the render queue in Premiere, the final output from media encoder still has the old spelling.
    If I do a straight export from Premiere instead of adding to render queue, the output is always correct. I've noticed this problem on several different Windows 8.1 systems.
    All versions of the software are up to date as of today.
    Why is this? Is it something to do with the disk cache in After Effects? Does media encoder have it's own cache that I need to clear?

    Hi, I've been having this same issue.  Here are some additional things I've noticed about it:
    Changes are reflected properly when played back on timeline in Pr CC 2014.
    Happens regardless if the dynamic link file was rendered or not, thus deleting the render files does not fix the issue.
    The issue can persist through saving, closing, and reopening both AE and Pr. 
    I'm using OSX 10.9.4, so this is not just a PC issue.
    Other than manually watching for every change to be reflected in the render, there is no way to know a problem has occurred.  Needless to say this can be incredibly costly.
    Please address this quickly, it's completely unacceptable that what we render out could be a different version from what we see on the timeline.
    PS Some additional things I will be testing:
    Does the issue persist through closing all CC apps, including Media Encoder.
    Does rendering directly out of Pr, i.e. not using Media Encoder, fix the issue.

  • New and changed features in Adobe Media Encoder CS5

    Someone said on the Premiere Pro forum that they didn't know what was new and changed in AME CS5. So I wrote this:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/10/new-and-changed-features-in-adobe-media -encoder-cs5.html

    I would like to also add that AME CS5 does a much better job at deinterlacing than CS4, the resulting files are much sharper, especially with text/titles.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Export Settings Window Dimensions Problem

    Any help on this would be appreciated: I'm on a macbook pro, osx 10.6, using CS4 Web Premium. I used to have an external monitor hooked up which had much higher resolution, so when using Adobe Media Encoder I'd click the Settings button on a video to get the Export Settings window, then stretched the Export Settings window to be the size of my external monitor. Now, I'm just using my laptop, and the export settings window does not have the resize buttons at top left to adjust it back to the size of my laptop, and the bottom third of the export settings window is getting cut off so I can't see the cancel/ok buttons etc.
    I've tried re-installing media encoder (via reinstalling flash using the CDs) to try to 'reset' the window sizes, didn't fix the problem.
    If anyone knows of any other preferences or something I could delete to fix this, I'd be one thankful dude.

    Yes, I was getting the same response. It means Adobe is not using OS native windows (shame on them!).I just tried something with CS4 that worked, though. Try this:
    Quit Media Encoder
    Go to UserHomeDirectory > Library > Preferences > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > 4.0 and delete the files called 'AMEPrefs.xml' and 'AppPrefs.xml'.
    Then restart Media Encoder. For me, this reset the window size and placement. I tried moving the Export Settings window down so half of it was off the bottom of the screen. Once I deleted these files and restarted, the window was smaller and repositioned.
    If that doesn't work, try downloading the demo of this product:
    http://irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/
    It says that Adobe programs are "trouble" programs, that they probably won't resize, but they should at least move. If nothing else, maybe you can move the window to a negative y value (up) so that the resize handle is visible, then move it back down so the header bar is visible again...

  • File Extension Always Changes from .mp4 to .m4z in Media Encoder CS6 Master Collection

    Hello,
    I am a noob to Adobe products, but I am familiar with video encoding and have been making movies on the computer for over a decade.  I have made several attempts to encode from .wmv to .mp4, but both Media Encoder as well as Premiere creates the output with the .m4v extension.  I am using the H.264 Main, with the MP4 Standard selected in the multiplexer.  I have watched several video tutorials from YouTube on how to make sure I format properly for YouTube in MP4, but I would prefer my file extension to be .mp4 and NOT .m4v.  The name is specified as "video.mp4" but it always comes out as "video.m4v".
    I am using the full version (not a trial) of Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Master Collection, Student and Teacher Addition.
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Before I give all my other pertinent details, or post screen shots (if that is possible), I thought there might be a simple solution.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok, I found the temporary solution over at this forum posting:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4717820#4717820.
    Over there, I posted this information:
    I will have to try keeping the Export Audio box checked.  I am having the same .m4v problem when trying to save as mp4, and my videos have no audio (screen capture tutorials) so I chose not to export the audio.  I will see if keeping the box checked works.
    I am using Windows 7 64-bit, CS6 Master Collection Student Teacher;  I just downloaded the full version (paid for) a couple of days ago, so apparently, this is still a bug.
    I had posted this same type of question earlier today, now I found this forum.  I don't know if the problem was there before the update because I just bought my Adobe products the other day (November 10, 2012) and installed the updates prior to even opening any single one of the Adobe programs.  Oddly enough, Handbrake does a fine job, so I am using that until I figure out the problem with AME.
    UPDATE:
    YES!  Keeping that Export Audio box checked resolved the problem.  What I did was (since there was no audio in the original) just take the audio settings down to the lowest possible quality so as to save on file size output.
    Thanks for the pointer!

  • Media Encoder CS5 hangs during render

    I've created a project in Premiere Pro CS5 (64-bit) on Windows 7 Pro x64.  It's 28 minutes long.  When I try to render it in Media Encoder CS5 (to YouTube Widescreen HD), it gets about 2/3 of the way through and then stops.  It doesn't close, it just freezes.  Not always at the same place (I've tried four times).  If I click on Stop Queue, it asks if I'm sure and when I say Yes (click on "No," actually), it hangs and Windows presents its "Close the program?" dialog, followed by a dialog saying, "PProHeadless.exe has stropped working" and asking if I want to close that, too.  I say yes and return to the desktop.  I modified the render to VBR 2-pass from VBR 1-pass, to see if it would at least get through the first pass without hanging, but it didn't.
    I've created dozens of projects with these tools, most shorter but some longer, and have never had this problem.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Hi Michael,
    Sorry to hear you're having problems with Adobe Media Encoder.  I'd like to get some more information about the problem so I can better understand your workflow, and potentially try to recreate the problem.  For what it's worth, I often import files of different resolutions without any problem, so I want to find out what's different about how you're using AME.
    Apologies for the long list of questions; the small details can be important.
    -- After you import the first file, what else do you do in AME?  Change the preset?  Change the settings?  Change the output destination?
    -- What are the properties of the files that are causing the problem?  You said it happens on "non-standard" files, but can you describe the specifications for one or more files that cause the problem?  Please include file type, length, frame rate, frame dimensions, field order (if applicable), alpha mode (if applicable), and audio type and rate.  If you know more the bitrate, both video and audio, that would be nice, too.
    -- If any of the files are small enough, could you post a couple online that I could try on my machine?
    -- How were these files generated?  What application created them?
    -- Where are the files stored? A local drive, a network drive, a removeable drive (USB or Firewire), etc.?

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 hangs when adding files of varying HD resolutions.

    I've seen questions similar to this related to CS4 but never explained very well, and my CS4 for mac worked fine.  I am unsure if this is a new problem or a windows specific problem but here is the situation, if you need more information I will gladly provide it.
    For the past week or so I have been encoding 1920x1080i mov files (h.264/aac) to 1280x720p (vp6/mp3) flvs.  When I stick to that single HD format in the AMC processing que everything works great. However, when I add older HD content into the AMC que, content with non-standard presets, the program hangs.  I tried to import about 15 files last night and the program just sat there all night in a '...NOT RESPONDING' state.  The video's have different audio and video settings and it's little difficult to pinpoint exactly what they were.  Some are 1440x1080, some are 1280x900, some have PCM audio some of mp3. 
    Now I temporarily resolved this issue by simply using cs4 master on my mac pro which worked great.  However I have noticed a huge speed increase in CS5 64bit AMC.  It takes 2-3 hours to encode 1 flash video on my mac pro (dual quad core xeon 2.9Ghz/32GB ram) with CS4.  It takes ~20 minutes on my windows 7 station (single core 2 quad 3Ghz/8GB ram) with CS5.
    How to replicate:
    If I drop a single file into the AMC CS5 que, regardless of the resolution, frame rate, or sound codec; it will import.  If I then add another file with a different resolution AMC will hang and become non-responsive.  It never crashed but I can't wait 12+ hours to see if it accepted a job or not.  As I said before this problem was not observed on CS4 for mac - it worked flawlessly, albeit a little slow. 
    Software used:
    Adobe Media Encoder CS5 windows 64bit
    Adobe Media Encoder CS4 mac 32bit
    System specs:

  • Adobe Media Encoder. Poor FLV Quality

    Greets,
    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder (AME) to output a CS4 Premiere Pro project at 515x240.
    I created a custom "Desktop" Premiere project setup with 515x240 and square pixels. That project previews look fine. The preview in AME looks fine. The output is horrible. No matter what I set my FLV output settings for the images and text are horribly stretched. And yes I am setting the output also for 515x240 square pixels.
    Format: FLV
    On 2 VP6
    515x240
    Frame Rate: 30fps
    VBR Two passes
    Bitrate: 1,500 (AME's default)
    Min Bitrate: 80
    Max Bitrate: 120
    Bitrate Variability: 80
    Here is an example... http://www.effectwebmedia.com/video.html
    I'm pulling my hair out. Any ideas? Thanks!

    A couple things:
    1) VP6 and H.264 are codecs that operate in "mod16". What that means is that they begin by dividing a video image into 16x16 blocks, followed by 8x8, 8x4, and 4x4 blocks. This makes for a more efficient encode. Your 240 dimension is fine (240 / 16 = 15), but the 515 dimension could be slightly problematic (515 / 16 = 32.1875). The codec will stretch or compress the image to fit into that dimension, and so can result in a lower quality encode. If you can, try encoding at 512x240, by cropping a couple pixels in the horizontal dimension. May not make a big difference, but it's good practice with these codecs.
    2) To me, your original encode looks like the product of Adobe's less-that-capable deinterlacing scheme. You're dealing with progressive assets and a progressive target. I'd submit that the reason your 1280x720 encode looks better is that you're using a progressive preset, with no deinterlacing necessary when exporting. One thing you could check is the field order of your original sequence setup--if it's interlaced, I'd say you have your answer. If it's progressive--well, then I'm wrong :) However, you didn't explicitly say this in your original post, but it's worth a look.
    If it is interlaced, I don't think you can change that after the sequence is started, so just create a new sequence with the proper progressive settings, and copy and paste the original sequence contents into that one. Now, when you export, there will be no need for deinterlacing.
    Anyway, that's my guess...

Maybe you are looking for
