Media encoder is total rubbish

CS4 media encoder has never been able to encode a video more than 200MB for me so its pretty much useless. MAC OS X 10.6 with plenty of RAM. I am making an HTML 5 player and FLV is the fallback option.

For AME post: http://forums.adobe.com/community/ame
And looks like its not AME issue, you installed iSkySoft full or trial version. Thats why its display in monitor. Encode with AME after uninstalling iSkySoft software.

Watch folders are totally useless as they freeze Media Encoder

Hi...
Decided to finally try the Watch folder thing.
Wish I hadn't...
I added 10 watch folders, each with a separate output destination.
then I added the files to the 10 watch folders. All set to output Prores 4444.
I had "Auto-Encode Watch folders" un-checked. But that did NOT seem to interes AME ONE BIT. It started encoding right away. Typical adobe.
Anyway, during encode, AME will just stop encoding a file it is encoding. Progress will come to a halt and AME, of course, wont continue on its own.
It will however, remove the original file from the folder and add it to the originals folder it creates in the watch folder location. Leading the user to believe that file
has been encoded.
To those of you contemplating using this poorly implemented feature, dont. considering the time it takes to setup multiple watch folder and the halts that AME are doing,
I promise you that you are better off manually encoding the files. Or use Apple Compressor. This one does it and might I add a WHOLE LOT faster than AME.
To the AME Development team....
The point of a watch folder is to have AME to something automatically, and NOT overlooking it all the time.
I guess you chose to call it watch folder because the user has to watch over AME while it encodes.
Up your game....

Updated Media Encoder and am now running 5.5.1.12 and........ still nothing. Tried to re-create the Watch Folder, restarted, blah blah blah. I should note that I previously (2-3 weeks ago) used the same Watch Folder on 5 different mpeg-2 files successfully. After that I shut down the Mac for winter vacation ever since then it hasn't worked. The only thing that has changed since then was an Apple update to Keynote.
Not that it'll help, but here are some images:

Media Encoder CC 2014 using cached versions of Precomps in AE and Nested Sequences in Premiere?

I'm seeing this weird thing where Media Encoder is using older versions of certain assets when exporting a Premiere Pro CC 2014 sequence. I'm seeing issues with nested sequences...Media Encoder uses an old version of a linked AE comp or it doesn't render a certain video track. With linked AE comps...I'm seeing Media Encoder use an earlier version of a precomp within the main comp.
When I look at the video in the Export Settings dialogue in Media Encoder, the old version of the AE comp shows .
If I look at the Export Settings dialogue in Premiere, it's up to date and looks right.
Anyone dealing with this or found a workaround? Thanks!
Calvin

I don't think I'd call this issue expected behavior...at best it's anticipated behavior that's going wrong. The only reason I wouldn't call it expected behavior is because what I'm seeing is AME reverting to a cached state on a FRESH LOAD of a sequence to render directly from Premiere. Basically, AME isn't open...sequence looks fine in PPro...load into AME via PPro export...look at export settings dialog in AME and note that the sequence is the old/cached version. So, it's not like the export was already in AME and THEN I made changes in PPro. It appears AME might be incorrectly identifying the newly imported sequence for export as an older, cached version.
However, I didn't get a chance to test your original solution so I'll try that the next time I see it happen. I also fixed the issue by clearing out the media cache and databases. NOT an elegant solution at all and TOTAL overkill...but it did work.
Thanks for the links!

Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

Hi Folks,
I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

Sorry for your troubles.
Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable. Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen. Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so. And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.

Media Encoder crash in Windows 7

I just finished building a new machine to take the place of my old one. I'm using CS4 Master Collection. I don't use the video tools a lot but last summer I put together a presentation using Premier and created an avi file from it using Media Encoder. I worked on this for a couple of months and it always worked fine.
Well a coule of days ago I decided to see how fast things would run on my new box so I ran the same project. I opened it up, clicked "export" and then "media" (I think that's it, I don't have it up and running at the moment). Media Encoder opens up at that point. About 20 seconds into it, my computer crashes and reboots. No BSOD, no freeze up, just pow, shut down and restart on its own. I've tested this a few times and even chose mp4 output to see if that made a difference. None. Same deal. One time when I opened up Premiere the whole machine froze but mostly I can get to that but Media Encoder crashes the system.
I read that this was a problem in the RC days of Windows 7 but I figured the Adobe updates would have handled this by now (I did run the update so everythings current - CS4 and Windows 7). I've run several stress tests (Prime95, memtest, furmark, etc, including thorough drive tests with WD diagnostics) before loading up my programs and done a lot of stress testing after that too. in fact I'm running Prime95 now and no problems.
What's going on with this? Anyone know? (I want to submit this to Adobe bug support as well but can't find a link for that)
Here's my system:
OS = Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Motherboard = GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 (BIOS v 5)

Storage = (4) yet to be determineed HDD's (probably going to use WD7502ABYS) RAID 10 (on the Intel controller)
Storage = (1) Western Digigal WD1001FALS 1TB HDD for my DVDs
Storage = (1) Western Digigal WD5001AALS 500GB HDD partitioned in 3 parts for clones of the OS drive in case of emergencies (this is in addition to clones and backups that are on spare drives outside the box)
Optical = (2) LITE-ON DVD Writer - Bulk - Black SATA Model iHAS224-06

Mea Culpa.
I misread the big 7 as meaning PR7. Sorry to mislead you and to have misread your post.
It could be a myriad of things, but look at the second link in this link: Some suggestions...
There is some info requested, like Process Explorer (not Task Manager) and DXDIAG. Maybe that will shed some light, but temps and voltages are the first suspects.

Media Encoder CS6 doesn't export any of the common formats like .MOV, .AVI, .AIFF .WAV, etc.

When I queue exports from Premiere CS6, Media Encoder totally ignores any custom export settings, and chooses some completely different system defined default settings, which I did not choose in Premiere. In previous versions Premiere would always pass the encoding settings to the Media Encoder.
Update: When I tried to import the custom settings into Adobe Media Encoder, I got an error message: "Preset could not be imported. No exporter found for this preset." Then I've realized, that AEM doesn't even have a QuickTime export format!!! Actually it offers only 4 export formats: H.264 (MP4), FLV, F4V, and MP3. Then, when I queue an export with Premiere with one of those 4 formats, then AEM would accept it. Anything else - it just wouldn't work!!! So wait - am I missing something, or I literally cannot queue any other common format exports with AEM??? I need to work with MOV, AVI, AIFF, WAV etc. files, which all aren't accepted by the Media Encoder... Or am I missing something???
This is ridiculous. I am becoming quite fed up with Premiere CS6 bundle - in 20 minutes I have found already 4 diferent features, that worked in previous versions, and work no more in CS6
I don't know how it worked in CS5.5 - anybody?

I have found the solution in another thread!!! It's here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4503096
1. Open this file:
On MAC: /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder CS6/Adobe Media Encoder CS6.app/Contents/Resources/txt/AddExporterList.txt
On PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS6\txt\AddExporterList.txt
2. Back it up to some other location.
3. Then delete everything from it and paste this:
# MediaCore Plugins
# AME Plugins
AudioWriter
WinMediaWriter
# AME Plugin Formats
MPEG4
H.264 Blu-ray
4. Save it, and relaunch Media Encoder - voila! It worked for me and many others.

Media Encoder CS6 Not Exporting all Audio Tracks From Premiere

I'm working with DSLR footage, 2 Channels of .WAV audio from an exernal recorder (H4N), and a 1 channel .WAV Music track. 3 Channels total of .Wav audio.
I can export from Premiere Pro CS6 to H.264 just fine, but if I try to send it to Media Encoder, it only track 3, which has the music.
I can't figure out this issue, and haven't found an answer on any forums. This problem effectively makes Media Encoder useless to me, so I would prefer it to be solved, rather than find a work around.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm having the same problem. But even worst.
For the test, I take a 10 min .mov or mp4 file, simply modify the "scale", and hit the export.
a 10 min file is taking 4 hours to render.
This is on a:
2012 MacBookPro i7 2.3Ghz, 16 GB 1600 DDR3, SSD disk. - Mac OSX 10.7.5
and a:
2011 iMac i7 3.7Ghz, 16 GB 1333 Mhz, 7200 RPM HD - Mac OSX 10.7.5
The CPU stays at 90% idle the whole time.
I know this is an old thread, but maybe someone could give me a hand.

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.

I think the same problem:

Media Encoder Will Not Launch - MSVCR110.dll

After installing updates to both MS and Adobe CC this morning, I cannot get the Media encoder to launch. However After Effects launches just fine. Premiere crashes during the splash screen but the error is different.
Media encoder doesn't even make it to the splash screen.

Nevermind, I got it working last night by uninstalling the programs that Patch Tuesday broke. Premiere, Media Encoder, and I found out that Prelude wasn't working either.
All working now after an uninstall, reboot, and reinstall. The patches also reset my creative cloud folder from it's custom location to default.location, and I have to move it back to the other location. My SSD is smallish and I didn't want the data files there, just the OS and the program files.

F4v encoded with Adobe media encoder CS4 (longer than 71 minutes)

Hi I don't know if this is the correct place for this post. So apologies me if this is the wrong place.
Encoding with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (4.2.0.006 and 4.0 too)
Source: MOV (DVPAL) longer than 71 minutes
Dest: F4V (H.264)
Result: freezed frames and only plays audio at 01:11. Media Player goes crazy and starts showing some diferent parts freeze frames.
In Quicktime crashes, in VLC the same of MediaPlayer. Sometimes the audio starts to downsampling and sounds like the pitch goes down.
Totally agree with this other post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/580391

Thanks for the interest.
I'll try to explain all details:
MacPro 1.1 (mid 2006) under Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Darwin 8.11.1 kernel)
System files: journaled HFS+ and a unix based NAS (under samba connection)
I have all material on the NAS and also I make the transcoding over it. Is a simple mov containing DV PAL WIDE interlaced 25fps with stereo audio. typical settings with nothing out of DV PAL standard.
The version of MediaEncoder CS4: 4.2.0.006 (it happens with older versions too)
The settings of MediaEncoder are:
Audio: AAC stereo 44,1 kHz
Video: F4V. MainConcept H.264, fps like source, profile high, level 4,1. CBR compression.
The problem only appears with videos longer than 71 minuts. At 01:11 starts with crazy problems. It seems like the player have some read or problems.
Tell me if you need some other kind of information.

However it has been quite some time since Adobe staff has responded to that thread, so I thought I'd create a new thread to see if it is fixed. Right now I'm wasting alot of time with Premiere Pro CC / Adobe Media Encoder CC as this combination will produce encodes with randomly muted audio tracks, effectively making Adobe Media Encoder unusable. Because I and other CC users rely on Media encoder for their batch export workflow, I'm wondering if Adobe has addressed the problem in the newest release Premiere Pro CS 7.0.1 (105) or not. Please respond so I can use Adobe Media encoder again!
Thank you.

This is causing massive headaches for me, and has wasted me days of work. I have a 12 language, 21 sequence DVD project, with all the languages on one timeline. Initially I used mute and solo to export the various language versions. But, due to whatever bug is going on, only around a third of the audio clips exported properly. Many muted or kept the wrong audio tracks, others muted them all.
So then I had to create 152 sequences from my original sequences, one for each language for the 21 different clips, then going through and deleting all but one lanuage for each (not ideal if there are any changes in timings to the original sequences). I then exported these as dolby digital audio for DVD. No success - only one of the languages exported. The rest just had the music track. So then, I tried exporting AAC audio. Two of them worked, the rest didn't. It seems totally random when exporting from media encoder which tracks actually appear in the final file. Some are muted, some aren't. And it is even different depending on what file format is being exported.
It seems I'm going to have to export, one-by-one, the audio clips from Premiere. 152 times. I don't want to have to, but if Media Encoder can't do the job it's suppoed to do, then as far as I can tell, that's the only alternative. Not happy at all. My CTRL-E fingers are going to get tired.
Can any Adobe staff tell us whether these bugs are going to be fixed at any point?

Error Exporting DVD Format from PP/Media Encoder

I'm trying to export a rather long project (1.5 hours). It has several sequences grouped together on one sequence that I've labeled "all". I'm using Media Encoder, preferences are to create a DVD file and it keeps crashing. These are my converting settings:
MPEG-2 DVD
NTSC 23.97 Wide
Quality at 75
Bit Rate at 6 using CBR (I just want to see if it works, then I'll up the quality)
When I read the error log report it mentions files that have nothing to do with that project at all.
The project I'm working on is called Yeldell Event and this is a sample error...
- Source File: /Users/mendezw/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/Geo Interviews.prproj
- Output File: /Volumes/VideoBackup/CHSS/Geography/Interviews/Angelica V1.mp4
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 854x480 (1.0), 23.976 fps, Progressive
- Audio: AAC, 128 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 2 pass, Target 8.00 Mbps, Max 8.00 Mbps
- Encoding Time: 00:05:12
11/02/2014 06:54:17 PM : Encoding Failed
The Operation was interrupted by user
The Geo Interviews.prproj and Angelica V1.mp4 are completely different files and I've never imported those files into this project. Why is it referencing them? There are others also that I didn't list here. About 5 total, none of which are part of this project.
I'm using a 2013 MacBook Pro, PP CC 8.1.0 I do have a couple other programs open, like Outlook and Safari, but I'm not sure that they would cause the error.
Please help! Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, where are all your cache & database files "set" in the PrPro and project dialog preferences? I've found that PrPro tries to lump everything together, and unless I check where anything is set within any project/export, it can decide that a place I included in a different project for some gosh silly reason is where I still want THIS project to use for cache or whatnot. So ... at times I've gone in to check a project and found it had say decided to use the same preview and output file locations/folders from a completely different project, just dumped things in together. Very annoying. Might have some effect here. But again, might not.

Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

Hello,
I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

Media encoder freezes after 4.2 update installation

Hey guys,
I´m in a middle of a huge project and I updated premiere and media encoder to a new 4.2 version. After that I can´t get anything out of premiere cause every time I try to export media encoder totally freezes after couple of seconds after I´ve pushed start queue. I can´t do nothing but to force to quit. It happens while it is still loading the project and haven´t started to encode yet. What´s the problem here?
I´m on mac pro 8-core and cs4 master collection

How long did you wait before force quitting? If it was only a minute or two, try longer.
If that doesn't work, then remove all of the old queue items from the AME.
Then save your Pr project, and clean the media cache database from Edit | Preferences.
Reboot and try again.
If all of that fails, then trash your Pr and AME preferences and try again.

Media encoder is total rubbish
