Media Encoder - export H.264 with timecode

I've found that when I export things in AME using the H.264 format (.mp4), the timecode is not preserved. If I use a QuickTime container and choose the H.264 codec, timecode works but the compression options are more limited. I mean profile, level, VBR, and audio bitrate. Is there some way to get these settings AND timecode?

Admittedly, those were not reliable sources.
Often, neither is QuickTime.
The timecode is there and correct.  Ignore QT.

  • Pixel Aspect Ratio bug in Media Encoder export

    Having a weird bug in media encoder exports that I can't seem to figure out. I have a 1080p sequence with a mix of 1080p footage and PAL DV assets. The PAL assets have a pixel aspect ratio of 1.0940. When I format them in my Premiere sequence, I am able to scale them correctly and they look fine. When I export them directly from premiere to broadcast standards it's also fine.
    However, when I try to export these sequences in Media Encoder via File->Export->Media-> Queue using the same exact settings (I'm using a preset), Media Encoder formats the PAL assets as if they have square pixels. Thus, half of the footage in my sequences gets horizontally "squished." Note that this does not happen for footage that natively has square pixels, such as my 1080p camera footage.
    Has anyone encountered this bug? It seems strange to me that Media Encoder would treat items in a sequence differently that Premiere during export, I was under the impression they were using the same rendering engine... It's really a problem as I'm going to have to crank out multiple versions of this 48-minute film and not being able to queue those exports is going to be a huge headache.
    Using latest version of CC 2014.1 (8.1.0).

  • Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

    Hello,
    I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
    - Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
    - Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
    - Preset Used: Custom
    - Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
    - Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
    - Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
    - Encoding Time: 00:06:36
    5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem.  I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file.  I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder.  A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
    I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere.  Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
    Could use some advice here.
    Glen
    P.S.  the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

    Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place.  We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
    Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
    WME is capturing at the following specs:
    160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
    1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
    29.97 fps
    640x360 resolution
    buffer size: 5 seconds
    key frame interval: 8 seconds
    I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
    AME is encoding with the following specs:
    FLV Multiplexing
    On2 VP6 codec
    620x360 resolution
    800kbps 2 pass VBR
    100% undershoot at best quality
    160kbps stereo MP3 audio
    I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
    Yes, these are our source assets.  They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know.  I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

    I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder.  I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me.  I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more.  This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

    Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

    The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

  • Adobe Media Encoder: Quicktime H.264 Problem

    I'm trying to output my video using QT H.264, and whenever it processes through the media encoder, it gets stuck with the status "encoding", with the elapsed queue time frozen at about :13 seconds.
    I've tried using different settings, but I get the same issue every time.
    When I encode using a different QT codec (DV/DVCPRO- NTSC, etc.), it works no problem.
    My machine is dual-quad with 16GB of memory, so I'm pretty sure it's not my system. The video is only a couple minutes long, so there's not a whole lot of video to process.
    Does anyone know a work around to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Anders

    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.
    -Jeff
    PS - You're welcome. :)

  • Media Encoder export a different font from the project file

    HI
    Media Encoder export a different font from the project file when I use a installed font
    The problem doesn't occur when exporting directly from Premiere 
    Any ides why?
    Thanks

    Hi! This also happened to me quite a few times with different fonts. Your fix worked, thank you. I don't think it's the font since, like I said, it happened with a few fonts, but just in case I was using Mf Young & Beautiful in TTF format.
    Are there any side effects to turning off "import sequences natively"?

  • Block noise in CC2014 Adobe Media Encoder Quicktime H.264 Export

    I would love some input from the community here. Perhaps someone else is having a similar issue.
    I've been wanting to make a full switch from CS6 to CC2014, but I am experiencing a host of issues that I don't experience in CS6. For one, when I export my Canon 5DMK3 DSLR timeline using Quicktime (H.264), I get an abrasive global noise all over my rendered video as if I was using a low data rate. I use the same settings in CS6 and experience no issues.
    Since YouTube compression hides these artifacts, so please download and view original file: Dropbox - RenderArtifactsQuicktimeH264.mp4
    Format: Quicktime
    Video Codec: H.264
    Quality: 100

    What I've tried:
    1) exporting at 720p and 1080p
    2) another codec (H.264 mp4 exports are clean)
    3) all combinations of the "Use Max Render Quality" and "Render at Maximum Depth" settings
    4) exporting straight from Premiere
    5) rendering with and without effects (Magic Bullet Looks, sharpening)

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    SSD OS drive
    WEstern Digital 2TB data drive
    SSD adobe cache drive
    I'm at a complete loss. What else could be contributing to this?

    Hi Mark,
    I did install the CC 2014.0.1 update and the issue remained. I had a colleague tell me that he experiences the same issue for Format= Quicktime, Codec= h.264 when he has the "limit data rate" option checked with a value. When I unchecked the limit data rate (of my standard 10,000 kbps 720p preset) I got a clean render devoid of the previously mentioned artifacts. However, it defaulted to a 70,000 kbps data rate which of course is higher than I'd like/need. For now I guess I'll be exporting .mp4 h.264, but I'm still curious why the limit data rate doesn't behave like it did in CS6.

  • Media Encoder Export to h.264 Keeps Erroring

  • Exporting h.264 with CS4 vs CS3

    Maybe I'm just dumb and this is an easy question....I'm not sure, but here goes:
    I had a project in Premiere Pro CS3, a music video. I'm used to exporting videos as quicktime with an h.264 codec for online streaming from CS3, and they always looked great. A lot of websites cap video uploads to 500MB or a gig, so it was a perfect way to get a high quality video on the net. The 3 minute music video I was working on became a great looking 450MB h.264 movie.
    With CS4 and the adobe media encoder, things are a bit different. I export as a quicktime movie with the h.264 codec, at the same settings (100% quality) but it looks awful. The same music video was around 80MB and didn't look anywhere near the quality of same video exported from CS3. I've tried a number of options and presets, and havn't been able to get the same quality or size file.
    I even checked both files in G-Spot codec reader (great tool) and they were the exact same AVC1-h.264 codec.
    What is happening here? Is the codec somehow used differently in CS4 than in CS3? Is there something I'm not doing to get a high quality h.264 movie out of CS4?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    The bitrate of your output movie depends on your Export Settings. At the bottom of the Preset list is "Edit Export Settings". There you can adjust all the settings just like CS3.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 H.264 iPod video format green flashes in Quicktime

    Quicktime 7.3.1 apparently shows no flashes but 7.4.5, 7.5.5 and 7.6 all show green flashes on videos encoded in AME CS4 H.264 iPod video small.
    No other quicktime versions tested.
    Videos play fine in VLC Player and Adobe Media Player.
    Videos encoded with the latest MediaCoder sourceforge application play fine in Quicktime.
    Clearly something's wrong with the way Adobe exports and the way quicktime 7.3+ reads H.264 videos.

    I think it may be the QuickTime Player issue and not Adobe Media Encoder. Its seems to play find in other players like Adobe Media Player and Windows Media Player after installing Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack 2.2c. (http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Essentials-Media-Codec-Pack/3000-2140_4-1066270 9.html). Haven't check to see if it plays correctly on my i-Touch. Not all videos I encode from .AVI to .MP4 using the i-Pod small preset seem to have this issue.

  • Adobe Media Encoder exports different video than what appears in CS4 timeline

    I'm using Premiere CS4 to edit a short skiing video.  All shots were taken using a GoPro @ 60fps, 720p.  All of the clips were converted into slow motion by using "Interpret Footage" and setting the frame rate to 24.  I used the sequence preset "AVCHD 720p 24", and editing seemed to work fine.  The video played smoothly and correctly.  However, after exporting in Adobe media encoder, the video was far different than what I previewed in the timeline.  It seems as though each clip shows up at the correct time, but it disregarded any trimming I did to the clips and each one is played from the very beginning.  Also, each clip plays extremely slowly, and there is signifigant ghosting (frame blending issue?).  I can also see that the preview window that shows up while I set the export settings displays the incorrect video as well.  However, if i change it from "source" to "output", it displays it correctly.  I tried exporting using H.264 720 24p and the youtube HD widescreen preset, both of which failed.  I am somewhat new to HD video, but I cannot seem to come up with any reason why my video will not export correctly.  Any thoughts?

  • Premiere CC export h.264 with artefacts

    Hi!
    I am very disappointed how Premiere CC export h.264.
    Every time exported movie have artifacts.
    Every time in different places.
    I have delete all cache, changed nvidia drivers., finally removed all nvidia drivers and expored without them.
    The result is - always artefacts - like colored squares on video or
    like this

    What can I  do? It is impossible to work!!!
    Update.
    Just export to lagarith from Premiere
    The result is also with artifacts.
    http://savepic.net/3879699.htm
    Then import lagarith avi to media encoder and export to h.264
    And what I see  - there are new artifacts.
    http://savepic.net/3882771.htm

    This is exactly my experience with Premiere CS6 and CC h264 export.
    The artefacts I had are not as bad as you show in your pics, but always exist in every export.
    Now, I'm using UT-codec to export and convert it without artefacts with TMPGenc x264.

  • Adobe Media Encoder - Encore - H.264 Blu-ray

    I just exported a Premiere Pro timeline using the Media Encoder with H.264 Blu-ray format and the 1080i 29.97 HQ preset. Presumably, you would choose this so that you do not have to transcode when you get to Encore. However, when I put my 16GB M4V file in a timeline, it wants to transcode saying it is "Untranscoded". Why? It also says the Blu-ray disc is only 11GB.
    Please tell me there is something I can do to prevent from having to re-encode or transcode this file when it is already in a Blu-ray format.

    hello,
    "This bug is with only H264 VBR 2 Pass presets and if you change to VBR 1 Pass keeping evverything same, the bug should not be there."
    honestly speaking, most everyone agrees that 2 pass is better quality than 1 pass
    and if this issue has been happening since cs4 and we just received our first update
    to cs5.5.1 for ppro, why does adobe still require us to 'lower' quality settings...
    it's almost like adobe doesn't want us exporting a full quality BD...
    doesn't adobe have the resources to fix this issue already?
    unless there is an acceptable answer, then shouldn't this be unacceptable...?
    this is almost like saying, "yeah the full hd presets don't work, but if you use the standard def presets, you should be okay..."
    especially if other authoring programs can do 2pass BD discs...
    is there an acceptable answer as to why this issue hasn't been fixed?
    is there any plans to update encore?
    thanks,
