Media encoder making file sizes 3x bigger

I've been using Adobe Media encoder CS4 for a while now and haven't had any problems, but lately every file I try to encode comes out bigger when it should be smaller. I've tried to tweak every setting I can but nothing seems to make a difference.
I would blame it on the fact that I'm trying to encode .wmv files but am encountering the same issue with mp4 and .mov (quicktime) files. Here is a screen shot to show you what I'm dealing with - the other file, the .wmv is 77 MB but the estimated file size is 1097MB and the encoder just ends up crashing. any help you can provide to get the encoder behaving like it used to would be appreciated:

Hello Kevin,
Thanks for getting back to me. It's not actually HEVC. We load in the uncompressed AVI clips into Premiere instead. If they were real HEVC then Premiere wouldn't even let me import them, yes?
Right! I was confused about how you even imported the footage.

Any ideas?
Are you exporting via the Export button (from Premiere Pro) or the Queue button (AME)? Does it work using the other method?
Thanks,

  • Adobe Media Encoder P2 File Size Too Big for Fat32

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working on a project that has to be delivered on an actual P2 card.
    I'm on a Mac running 10.9.1 using Media Encoder 7.2.2.29.
    My final files are ProRes files and I dropped them into Media Encoder and selected the P2 AVC-Intra 100 1080 option. I set the destination to a local drive and everything seemed to encode properly. I have a CONTENTS folder and all the required subfolders and MXF files. The problem is, when I went to copy the folder to the actual P2 card, Finder told me that some of the files "can't be copied because [they are] too large for the volume's format." And, indeed, looking at several of the video files in the Finder, they seem to max out at 4.29GB (4,294,971,924 bytes), which is 4,629 bytes larger than the FAT-32 size limit.
    I just now tried to encode directly to the P2 card and I got an error that was, ostensibly, a "Disk Full" error, but happened at right around where I would expect that 4GB limit to be.
    Is this something others have encountered? Is there a setting I missed? According to the P2 workflow PDF here, the folder structure AME creates "can be exported directly to a connected P2 card, or it can be exported to a selected drive and the folders and files copied over to the card."
    One possibility might be to split up the files into shorter videos, but I'm not sure how AME would handle ordering on the card.
    Thanks
    David

    I wanted to mention, in case anybody else has this issue, installing and using Media Encoder CS6 produces P2 MXF files that are the proper size. I filed a bug report, hopefully Adobe can get the CC version fixed.

  • "Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder full ?

    Hello,
    I'm on latest version of both Premiere and Media Encoder, I'm working on PC/7 (64bits)/i7/Cuda,
    What is "Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder ?
    C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
    How to purge it NOT manually ? Why is it created ? How to deplace it or remove it ?
    I've plenty of videos into my batch, and as soon as this folder is full, it's not exporting anymore. Even if all the old previewes are used and exported, they are not removed or automaticly deleted.
    I've tried to move this folder of my D: through adobe media encoder preferences... impossible to find its reference somewhere.
    If you have any idea, thanks a lot

    Bonjour,
    je suis sous la dernière version de Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (je suis abonné au Cloud) et j'exporte via file d'attente sous premiere CC.
    J'ai le dossier suivant :
    C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
    qui s'engorge et ne se vide jamais, et donc sature mon disque dur OS et software sous C:
    Je n'arrive pas à délocaliser ce dossier, via les préférences de Media Encoder par exemple.
    D'ailleurs, je me demande même le pourquoi de son existence, et encore plus, pourquoi ne se vide-t-il pas lui même lorsque l'exportation est finie.
    J'ai un batch de vidéos énorme à exporter, du coup, il sature le C: et du coup, je me lève le matin et seulement la moitié de mes exportations sont faites. Sympa pour mes deadlines.
    A noter que :
    - via les préférences de media encoder, j'ai désactivé les previews (la petite fenêtre qui permet de voir l'évolution et progression de la vidéo sous encoder), ça change rien.
    - ce dossier ne se remplit évidemment pas, lorsque j'exporte directement via Premiere, sans passer par la liste d'attente de media encoder ("exporter" et non "file d'attente" donc.)
    - je coche systématiquement sous premiere "rendu à la résolution maximale", "utiliser la qualité de rendu maximal" (jamais compris le pourquoi de ces deux trucs d'ailleurs, j'ai jamais l'impression que ça changeait un truc) et "utilisez les prévisualisations" (qui sont déjà rendues en vert, évidemment)
    Merci pour vos lumières !

  • Media encoder preview files folder

    Hi!
    I'm not sure this folder exisited the last version, but in media encoder CC it's there in my documents/adobe/media encoder preview files.
    the problem is that it's getting realy big- 30 gigs. I'm not sure why is it created.
    I want to know if I can delete those files and I realy need to change it's path so it wont block my c drive
    thanks

    If you are using a SSD there are likely to be a few very large files that you would like to relocate, not just those belonging to Adobe.
    I too found that media encoder files within ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\8.PRV’ with no obvious way of adjusting the settings to move them.
    The solution I usually use for this type of problem is to create what is known as a ‘Windows Junction’, which is like a ‘shortcut’ but behaves exactly the same as a regular folder. I decided to move the whole of the ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\Adobe’ folder from ‘My Documents’ to the root of another disk drive and then create then replace this with the ‘junction’ named ‘Adobe’ in . ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\’
    1: Close all Adobe software in case anything is in use in the Adobe folder (or the move will fail).
    2: I was going to suggest moving the files at this point but it may be safer to copy them and then delete the ‘Adobe’ folder only  if the copy is successful. Copy the Adobe folder to another drive using drag and drop, in this example I used the root of the ‘G’ drive. If the move is successful delete the original ‘Adobe’ folder from ‘My Documents’.
    3: Start a command prompt window in administrator mode (right click / run as administrator) 
    4: Change the directory to your ‘Documents’ folder using the command (not My Documents):
    CD    “c:\users\[me]\documents”
    Replace [me] with your folder name, which is usually your name
    5: Assuming you moved the ‘Adobe’ folder to the ‘G’ drive, and replace ‘G’ if different enter the command:
    Mklink    /j     Adobe    G:\Adobe
    I have put multiple spaces in the above where there must be at least 1 space.
    I have used this solution to move parts of ‘program files’ and other folders from the SSD to a regular hard drive for software and files I do not use very much.
    Maybe I should make a video of this procedure?

  • Adobe Media Encoder making blocky videos

    The backstory: I have two Mac laptops: an old Powerbook G4/Panther running Imovie 4 and a brand new Macbook Pro/Snow Leopard running Imovie 9.
    I've now made several FLVs that play beautifully on the internet: I imported old clips *that had been extracted using the Powerbook/Imovie 4* into my Macbook Pro/Imovie 9, edited the videos in Imovie 9, exported them as standard m4vs, then encoded them into FLVs using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 4.2+. They look terrific.
    The problem:
    For the first time yesterday, I used my Macbook/Imovie 9 combo to import clips shot with the same exact camera, then did everything exactly the same. The exported m4vs look fine. However, the resulting re-encoded FLVs are badly blocky, as though a mosaic filter was laid on. This is mostly happening when there is any increased motion in the footage.
    I tried exporting into .mov then encoding for Flash in the same way, and no difference. The adjustment I'm currently trying is to bypass the presets on AME to enable a 2-pass scan rather than 1. There does not appear to be a keyframe-interval selection option in AME CS4 4.2, or I would adjust that as well. This custom encoding is taking 5 times as long to complete as the preset encoding: over an hour versus 15-16 minutes. It may or may not work, but regardless, I don't have that kind of time - I have a bunch of videos to make.
    I'm really sick about this, because my beloved Powerbook has a dying harddrive, which is why I bought the new laptop. I don't want to believe that it was Imovie 4 that was responsible for those lovely videos. Later Macs no longer support Imovie.
    Is there something I'm missing that will make AME work with Imovie 9 to eliminate the problem? I know Imovie 9 is a turkey, but it did make those lovely videos with the old clips from version 4. There's gotta be a way.
    Thanks in advance.

    After playing Youtube go to your temp internet
    files and copy the file to HDD which is a mp4.
    Add this to the Media Encoder and see if it will work now.
    If it still does not work, your ME is prob. not working right.
    I sometimes use AME as a converter and it handles mp4 just fine.

  • Exporting to Media Encoder and file locating issue

    Ok, Now I've read a LOT of threads trying to find a solution to this but none of them have answered my problem exactly, so here's what I have:
    Running a New computer with a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and Adobe CS4 Master Suite
    Hardware:
    Dell Precision M6400
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU  T9900 @ 3.06 Ghz, 3.07 Ghz
    12.0 GB Ram
    Premiere ran fine for a while, but soon I've run into a problem where I try to export to the Media Encoder and I keep getting the error:
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted"  over and over
    I have deleted recently imported media one at a time to try and locate what's causing it since it wasn't doing this before, but no luck.  So I restarted the program but now the Premiere project won't open.  The task bar loads until about 2/3 in and stops there indefinitely, I've left and came back to it 2 hours later and it hadn't moved.  I back tracked and found a previous save that will open, but it still will not export, it still says "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted".  And as soon as I update anything and save a new file that one will not open either.
    I've tried recompressing each video file into a format I know works well with Premiere but still no difference. 
    This problem has plagued my workflow for a while now and I can't take it anymore.  I've had to restart clean project files to try to work around it but I lose so much progress, and the work around by rendering the premiere file through After effects hasn't worked either.  The error I get there says "Dynamic link server is busy".
    Here's what the problem is not:  It is not because I uninstalled CS3 or any other previous version, I've never had it on this computer.  It's not a plugin problem, I don't have any plugins on this install except for the default ones that Came with Adobe Master Suite for Premiere Pro. 
    Someone please help me, this is ridiculous that I have had to trouble shoot the program this much.  Both CS4 and Windows 7 have been around for over a year now and neither are in Beta Editions

    Wow, sorry, forgive me if I've seen most forums work with a lot less, and your dismissiveness led me to assume you hadn't read my post.
    All of this is new and up do date as far as Adobe and Windows updates go, that's Version 4.2.1.
    My projects for this are all in NTSC Widescreen DV 24P, the particular sequence that I render from is in that format as well, although regardless of which one I use the problem keeps occurring. 
    My renders for my recent purposes have been compressed in .h264, IPOD video Large.  The codec I'm rendering in also doesn't seem to matter, because I've tried this in .avi., .mov, .h264, .wav, etc. and all with various settings that I thought might help, but the encoder quits encoding 4 seconds in and gives me the error that it can't find the media.
    And I didn't mention the media type and what not because it seems irrelevent of what I use this problem keeps happening.  I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the project file or perhaps the media encoder or both.
    And I don't know what you mean by "disks"
    Do I have a Raid set up on my hard disk?  No, I have two 0.5 TB hard drives, Programs on one (C:\) Projects on the other (D:\). 
    What address am I saving the scratch disks to?  I use the default of "same as Project".  Have I tried Clearing it?  Yes.
    I don't think I'm getting at what you're asking.
    And I don't think I've ever used an .xlsm (which is excel?) file and I've definitely never used a Power point project (PPS?) file in my projects.  And they open in their respective programs, although I'm not sure why you asked about that.  Again I'm not sure I know what you mean.
    The Premiere Project (.prproj) file is what I'm trying to open when the progress bar stops at 2/3 the way through and forces me to terminate the process with the task manager to close it.
    It would help to mention that all my projects are animated and I use premiere to cobble them together, so no problems that relate to transferring media from a camera to the computer would apply here.  Most of the files I get out of Maya are in Default .avi or .mov files, and I also use a handful of .wav files for the dialogue and .jpgs for cards and placeholders. 
    I believe that this problem began when I updated a few of the files in my project, but I've been doing that for weeks without incident.  I've been updating them by saving over the old media file with the updated one of the same name, length, and type. 
    I don't work exclusively with Premiere, in fact it's not what I usually use, that would be Final Cut Pro.

  • Flash Media Encoder .f4v file larger than .avi after conversion

    This is my first time using Flash Media Encoder.
    I converted a 168 MB .AVI video to .F4V and the resultant file is 302 MB.
    Is this normal?
    What could I have done wrong?

    I'm not familiar with CamStudio's compression settings, but it sounds to me like the bitrate of the AVI is lower than your target bitrate for the new encoding. If that's the case, it makes sense that the new file is larger.
    It would be better to start out with a high quality AVI if possible. Remember that you're compressing again when you transcode the file, so in order to maintain the quality of the source, you have no choice but to encode at a very high bitrate. If you start out with a high quality source, you can reduce the bitrate when encoding the flv/f4v

  • Media Encoder, No File Save Dialog with New XDCam Project

    I've started a new project last night and I got it edited toda
    y. It's XDCam 24P timelines, very simple linear
    string of short 45 second clips of interviews with executives.
    The timeline behaves normally in every respect. Except, when I attempt to render it to any format in Media Encoder, I never get the File Save As dialog. I press OK and the Media Encoder settings goes away, then, a second later, reappears. It took me a few moments to realize something was wrong.
    I rebooted the computer, thinking Premiere was just corrupt in memory, as sometimes happens, but after a fresh start, the same behavior with the Media Encoder. Now I'm really worried, because this is a corporate event video with a deadline.
    Just to check, I tried opening a prior project and tried to render anything in that project. This time I get the Save As dialog, which is expected. So I return to the corporate event project and try again to render anything within that project. The encoder settings keeps redrawing when I press OK and I cannot save anything.
    Thinking my project was corrupted, I copied the assets and made a new project and pasted them into the new, blank project. Once again, I cannot render anything. All I get is a redraw out of the Media Encoder settings screen.
    This is a very simple project. There is nothing unusual about it that could cause this freakish behavior, except the lighting used at the event was mostly yellow. Apparently it doesn't like something about my footage, but I cannot re-shoot this one-time corporate event! If a reboot didn't fix it, and other projects still work normally, then it's a real head-scratcher. This is new behavior that I've not encountered in 3 years of using CS3.
    I'm out of ideas. If it's XDCam my footage, then I'm dead in the water here!

    FOUND THE PROBLEM!
    I have several timelines in the project, and most of them are titled things like "window dub w/timecode". I found one that was titled "interviews" and tried to render that. The Save dialog appeared, only when I rendered from THAT timeline. So I started to look for differences between the timelines.. then it dawned on me that all the timelines that don't render have the "/" character in the title. Adobe should warn that this character is not allowed, rather than allow it and then behave weirdly. Could have saved me hours of thrashing about!

  • Did file size get bigger w/iTunes 8.0.2?

    I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but I'm finding that every song I download requires me to delete at least two (sometimes three) songs on my iPod to make space for it.
    Anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to choose to download smaller files instead?
    Apple: Why?

    All songs in the iTunes Store are now iTunes Plus -- encoded at 256 kbps, which is two times the old standard of 128. Their file sizes are now twice as big. The only way for you to get them smaller is to re-encode them at a lower bitrate. It doesn't have anything to do with which version of iTunes you have on your computer.
    Also, the importing default is iTunes Plus AAC, so if you want to import songs at a lower bitrate, you'll have to change your import settings.

  • Ipad Photo - Making File Size Smaller for emailing

  • FCE File size getting bigger for export to YT

    Hello
    I have a 472.6 MB mov file that I am editing into 15 min clips for YT. Been trying to export one for awhile now using FCE and the size of the 15 min clip is 3.4 GB. Have tried doing it in iMovie and it's 176 MB and looks awful.
    Been following the instructions for export settings/Quick Time Conversion, there is something that I'm missing, what is it?
    Thanks for your help,

    Thanks for the info.
    I followed the directions and the file size is now 463 MB for a 15 min clip. So it's getting smaller.
    Dimensions: 720 x 480
    Codecs AAC, H.264

  • Media Encoder making 4K output file 'blink'... What is going on?

    Working off Premiere CC. I have a 4K sequence displaying two 1080p videos side-by-side to compare quality between HEVC and H.264. Effects includes dissolves, freeze frames, and word labels created with Premiere's title maker.
    Watching all the way through in Premiere timeline on my new Mac Pro it works fine. All video loaded, audio playing back, everything is great.
    Ctrl+M, settings include Quicktime, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) (have also tried Uncompressed YUV 10 bit 4:2:2 as an alternative to no avail), 3840x2160, 29.97, Progressive, Square Pixels, check box on 'Render at Maximumm Depth and 'Use Maximum Render Quality'. Queue it up, hit play and the video encodes fine for a while. Then, during a random transition, the little preview monitor on the encoder starts blinking! Sometimes the top half of the screen, sometimes the entire screen. Upon review of the final output shows that the preview was telling the truth.
    Help! What is going on?!

  • Trouble Exporting movie with Media Encoder, weird clip sizes and errors

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on a Windows XP Professional with 2gb RAM and 1.6GHz.  I'm trying to export a short movie (2.5 minutes) with no audio.  It is just a bunch of stitched together videos imported from 1280x 1024.  I'm sizing them into 720 x 480.  I get very poor video quality unless I use uncompressed formats, so I am using an Uncompressed AVI with UYVY Codec and 1.0 square pixels.
    1st problem: I get an error running more than around 35-50seconds:
    The Operation was interrupted by user

    Its very consistent with having this error.  I'm pretty sure there is plenty of room for the files, it only gets up to around 2.5gb.  I can watch the movie up to where the error occurs and there is no problem.
    2nd: I tried spliting the video up into 4 different files and the last clip won't match the others.  I export all of them the same way, with 1.0 aspect ratio and the first 3 come out saying .9091NTSC.  The last one will say it is 1.0 ratio if I do it the same way or 0.9091 NTSC  if I change it, but either way, it will come out wider that the other clips (they will all still have black space on sides).

  • Why did my file size get bigger with ProRes

    I just used Mpeg StreamClip to convert my raw mark 2 footage to prores422 and the file sie wen from: 42.7MB to 159.3MB
    I know that whats his name... philip bloom recommends Apple XDCAM EX 108030p
    However, the quality gos down with this. Maybe I will try Apple XDCAM HD
    Any thoughts?

    If your original acquisition is HDV and H.264 the Apple Pro Res 422 is fine, you wont gain anything going with HQ or 4444.
    Your H.264 files got much larger because H.264 is heavily compressed and not designed for editing, it is a 'distribution' codec. It is best to convert to a I-frame codec such as Apple Pro Res for editing.
    Your next problem may be mixing two different frame rates. The Canon 5D records at 30.0 frames per second and the A1 records at 29.97. I use Cinema Tools to conform (slo-mo) my 5d clips to a friendly frame rate. You need to realize audio will not stay in sync over long durations with this conform process.

  • Maximum file size with Adobe Media Encoder?

    I seem to be having a problem when converting files in AME.
    I'm converting .m2v files into quicktimes files, using the DVCPRO HD 1080i50 codec. No sound is being exported with the audio.
