Media encoder or flash problem?

I'm using the .flv playback component in flash and when I
preview my movie in flash it plays all the way through, but when I
view through a web browser the movie quits after 25 seconds (it's
30 seconds long). At 25 seconds in, the movie freezes (like when a
DVD movie freezes and the jumbled up boxes appear) and then the
movie quits even though it didn't have any problems loading. I've
encoded using Adobe Media Encoder 6 different times and rerendered
the movie from After Effects but am still having a problem. Anyone
have any idea what the problem is? Is it the .flv file? And if so,
does that mean the problem is with Media Encoder? Please go to
wilson-graphics.com and click on "a&e" to see what my problem
is. Thanks in advance

I am using the flv playback component in flash. I don't know
where the problem is because when I preview everything in flash all
the movies play all the way through. No matter how many times I
re-encode the .mov in media encoder it still stops at the same
place every time. I have gone back to After Effects and rerendered
the original .mov and tried again and yet it still stops in the
same place. I did have the same problem with another .flv file. I
re-encoded it and now it plays fine but the one I'm still having
problems with I have encoded 5 times and it STILL stops in the same
place.... I even watched the file in Adobe Media Player and it
plays all the way through. I don't know where the problem could
be.....

Flash Media Encoder 3.1 Problem..

Okay so.. I just recently decided to start broadcasting on my new laptop which is windows 7 and a 64 bit and I reinstalled my Pinnacle software on this labtop and when I install the drivers and other needed programs such as this. So moving on to the problem, like many other people from what I see have similar problems like me about when you open Flash Media Encoder and then swap to your capture card it loads then black screens and finally instantly closes without warning.. I have pretty much gone through an ENTIRE day trying to get this to work.. I also went to my old labtop and tried it out there and for some reason it works an dis compatible there... Please I would appreciate some help as I would like to start broadcasting again..

Please try using FMLE commandline version FMLECmd and see if it works?
FMLE GUI has a known issue on Windows 7 starter and Home edition

Flash Media Encoder 8 - audio problem

I'm having an audio problem with Flash Media Encoder 8. I am
converting a long Quicktime movie to Flash - about 28 minutes.
After encoding, when I play it back, at about the 20 minute mark
the audio just drops out. I've developed somewhat of a workflow and
have done this with similar Quicktime files many times and have not
had this problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be
happening? Anyone else see this?
Some specs:
Flash 8, Mac OSX 10.4.10, MacBook Pro C2D

Five Pi,
It may have something to do with the audio rate in your QT
video. When using encoder, make sure your audio rate of your QT
file is higher than the audio rate of your Encoder settings.
Its just a guess, I have had the same problems, but I set the
audio quality to very high when exporting from Final Cut Pro, and
then set them to medium quality in encoder, and no more audio
problems.

Is the Random Media Encoder CC Mute Problems Fixed?

There is a thread about Mute/Solo but here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5592142#5592142
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?

Adobe Media Encoder: CBR bitrate problem!

Hi!
I'm having some problem with Adobe Media Encoder. I've edited a HD video (recorded with a Sony HDR-FX1) and created a MPEG2 file using the preset "1440 x 1080i 25 Hiqh Quality". The video file size is 7,25 GB.
Now I want to put this video on Motionbox and Vimeo. I found on the web some settings that seems to be perfect for Motionbox and Vimeo.
Here's the link: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/images/pcs3-h264.jpg.
As many of you already know, Motionbox doesn't have any file size limit, while Vimeo has (1 GB). So i thought to reduce the bitrate quality for Vimeo, while using, as written in that JPG, 4 Mbps CBR Bitrate. Here's the problem: I change the bitrate (for example 1,6) and I exit the export settings panel, so that I'm back to the AME start screen. If I initaliaze the queue, under the video settings on the left, the CBR bitrate is back to 3. So it seems like I can't change the bitrate.
I've used the same settings that are in that JPG so I can't understand what is going wrong. If I select 4 Mbps it goes back to 3 and the same happens if I select 1,6 or 2 for example. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you so much for your help. Bye!

Jeff,
Off-topic, but related to your naming convention in your reply, post 4.
Adobe has been using the "Pr" to designate Premiere for a version, or two now. I've been using "PP" for Premiere Pro, and "PE" for Premiere Elements, as I follow both fora now. Though it will take some retraining on my part, is the conventional wisdom (no pun here) that the acronym is most correctly stated as "PrP" and "PrE?" I also use PS for Photoshop, and PSE for Photoshop Elements, so it's not a matter of the characters. I just want to use the most correct acronym, for clarity in posts. What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Hunt

Media Encoder adding flash frame

Using Media Encoder to create a .m2v for use in DVD Authoring. I import a QT, and in the encode, it is adding a random image that occurs about 32 minutes into the program at the 35 minute mark. I reran, with the same result. I have checked the original QT frame by frame and there is no such flash frame in it. Settings are 2-pass VBR, Target Bit Rate 4.2 for a file that is 1hr 43min long. Could Encoder be glitching, and are there any settings I can adjust to avoid it?

I, too, am experiencing Media Encoder throwing in a random flash frame occasionally on an output file. Output specs are typically Pro Res HQ 1920X1080 23.98P with 2 to 8 mono audio channels at 48k and 24bit. These are files for delivery to a client. It seems to be going to some random location within the episode and grabbing a frame and popping it in. Anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?
We're also realizing this is a random occurrence. Output settings don't seem to matter, and redoing the export with identical settings will yield a file with no flash frame. Sometimes it's there, and sometimes it's not...

CS4 Media encoder - Crop+Resize problem

I`m attempting to both crop and resize a video at the same time.
I have an AVCHD 1920X1080 premiere CS4 project. I export it to media encoder.
I`m attempting to encode it to flv or f4v.
After having cropped the video in Media encoder I would like to resize it but then I encounter a problem:
I have 3 options in the output settings:
Scale to fit/Black borders/Change output size.
`Black borders` is not what I want. I need my frame to contain nothing outside of the image.
If I choose `Scale to fit` the video immidiately becomes terribly blurred. It can`t be not a resolution issue as the size is 429X622 after the crop and the original is HD (and if I encode it the result is accordingly strangely blurred) I can resize the video but it will be `blurred`.
If instead, in the output settings I choose `Change output size` I get a normal video image (no blur, that is) but the the `resize video` interface under the `video` tab is disabled - it is greyed out ( even though the checkbox next to it is still marked) and the width and height boxs are greyed out too. I can`t resize.
I`ve attached to this message a JPEG capturing a part of the frame to show the strange blurring problem as well as the greyed out `Resize` interface.
What am I doing wrong ?

Jim Simon asked:
But isn't that the size you want? If not, how did it get set that way?
Thanks for your interest, Jim Simon. Well, no, it`s not the size I want. I want to be able to resize at will, after I had cropped. How did it get set that way ? I got that 429WX622H frame merely by cropping the original 1920X1080 frame by using the `Media encoder` crop function, while the output is set to`Change output size` . If I would go now and rechange the size of the cropping frame I would get different dimension numbers. But as to how it got `set` this way, and now I refer to the word `set` as in `not being able to change anymore, being greyed out and disabled` - I have no idea at all, and this actually stands at the core of my bewilderment. If i choose to go about it differently and change the order of actions by resizing first and then cropping, for example, if I would choose first to change the size of the video from 1920X1080 to let`s arbitrarly say: 720X440 and then I would go and crop it in order to exclude from the frame certain imagery that I don`t need, then, Oddly enough, my previous resizing action will be strangely ignored and the cropping is re-calculated from the original 1920X1080 frame. I may even end up with a `crop` which is larger than my `resize`.
In other words: I need to be able to change both what I include in my frame and the final video resolution, and media encoder would not allow it in `Change output settings` and it would allow it in `Scale to fit` but then it insists on adding a strange and impossible bluriness effect even in the result encoded video.

Premiere, Media Encoder and Flash Cue Points - bug?

I've been encoding a number of FLV On2 VP6 videos recently and using the new Media Encoder. For this project we need flash cue points (nav and event). I've discovered some weird things in Media Encoder - it's been duplicating cue points (or maybe the export from Premiere is buggy with cue points?).
I've seen the first couple of cue points getting duplicated with the first letter of the name capitalised and moved a frame on in time - very weird.
Anyone else seen this behaviour?
Paul.

OK, I think I've found out why - not a bug - user misunderstanding!!! (although tricky to find!)
Some of my source footage was created in After Effects. It turns out that there were a couple of cue points in the AE comp that had similar names to the cue points in Premiere - the AE comp was saved out to an AVI (with metadata enabled I think).
Premiere wasn't seeing this metadata and the cue points, but Media Encoder was (and it couldn't be deleted in ME - just kept coming back).
So - moral of the story - be careful with metadata!!!
I guess that Premiere should really show this embedded data though?
Paul.

Media encoder aspect ratio problem

I'm trying to do a simple quicktime export with the media encoder.My source file is AVI 720x480 widescreen 1.2 and I'm exporting to Quicktime 720x480 widesreen 1.2. What I get is a vertically stretched video.
When I export to "Square Pixels" It has the proper aspect ratio, but there are blacks bars on the top and bottom.
The colors also look rather flat.
Premiere CS4 V. 4.2.1
If anyone has any insights as to why this is, please let me know. Thanks.

Harm is right about the program you're using to "view" the export...
I recently had an export like yours , 720x480i 16:9 and using classic media player I had to change the "view" settings of the media player to see it correctly....and quicktime made a mess of it....didn't view it correctly...
Try what Harm suggested re: view it in different media file viewing program and make sure it is set to view in 16:9 , not 4:3

Media Encoder Problem CS4

Recently got CS4 master edition, every time I open Adobe Media Encoder from Flash or otherwise it gives me an error,
[..\..\Src\Init.cpp-42]
then it closes and sends error report.
Any ideas what the problem is?
I am hoping its a bad install but I really don't want to install all of master edition again.
Any Ideas?

Are you running on Windows or Mac OS X?
Try upgrading to the latest version of the Quicktime player and see if that makes a difference.

Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder

I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
I've found two solutions to this problem:
1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.

No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
Well, enough rambling.
To put it simple:
Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
Thanks!

Streaming Live Video using Flash Media Encoder/Flash Media Streaming Server

We currently get a video feed from local cable channel that gets streamed live to our internet website. It gets encoded first on our Windows 2003 server running Windows Media Encoder and then gets published on another Windows 2003 server running Windows Media Services. We are trying to replace these two servers with another solution and the two things driving this project are:
1. These two servers are coming to an end of life cycle so we need to replace the hardware and upgrade the OS.
2. They currently only support Windows compatible file formats. Just like other organizations out there, iPAD users are popping up and they want to view these video streaming from their iPAD.
That's why we are looking at Adobe Flash Media Encoder3 and Flash Media Streaming Server 4.5. My questions for the experts out there are:
1. Can Adobe Flash Media Encoder and Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server can replace our current solution?
2. Do we need both Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Streaming Server or can Flash Media Streaming Server also can encode video feed?
3. Can Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Streaming Server can run on the same server?
4. Our Windows Media Services server also has few on-demand publishing points along with a live video streaming. Can above mentioned Adobe products support having live streaming publishing point along with on-demand video publishing points?
5. Does Adobe Flash Media Encoder only support Flash and Quicktime or does it also support .wmv?
I called the sales to find the answers to these questions but he basically read the features listed on the Adobe product website and couldn't really answer these questions.
Any help in find the answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you.

FYI - I was able to do it by using the "onFI" handler of the embedded NetStream object.
myVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onVideoStateChange);
function onVideoStateChange(evt:fl.video.VideoEvent)
// trace("State = " + evt.state);
if ( evt.state == "playing" )
if (!ns)
ns = myVideo.getVideoPlayer(evt.vp).netStream;
ns.client.onFI = onFIHandler;
function onFIHandler(infoObj:Object):void
var ts:String = infoObj.st;
trace("system time: " + ts);
ExternalInterface.call("updateTimeStamp", ts);

I'm launching Adobe Media Encoder in Windows 7 to convert a mov to fla. Msg says it can not import

I'm launching Adobe Media Encoder via Flash Import Video in CS5.5 in Windows 7. The message says "The file xxxx.mov could not be imported: Could not read from source. Please check the settings
and try again" What do I need to do? Thanks

Same problem here, I just installed Win 7 64bit a few days ago, and a fresh install of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium to default location and has all its updates.

Premiere CC 7.2.2 crashes when trying to export via Media Encoder and Encore crashes while DVD build

Hello,
My computer is a:
2x Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 (2000 MHz, 20MB);
16x Kingston DIMM 8 GB PC3-8500 ECC Reg.;
PNY Quadro 4000 with 2048 MB GDDR5-RAM;

1x 120 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
1x 240 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD (system disk)
Tyan S7050GM4NR motherboard
Windows 7
I freshly installed Windows 7 and the CC-Apps PremierePro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop and Speedgrade.
When I try to export any video from premiere to the media encoder premiere crashes without any error message. The problem is not the project: I created several new projects and even if I only have one Graphic-File/Bars/h264-video in the timeline that I try to export: premiere crashes. When I export directly from premiere it works, but there is no chance to go via media encoder. The strange thing is that I can export from after effects to the media encoder without any problem...
Second Problem: Encore crashes also. Everytime I try to build a DVD => Encore crashes
Does anybody have an idea?
Here is what I already tried:
Yesterday it worked fine today it crashes when I export from premiere via media encoder.
1. Bars+Tone => export => crash
2. Video Project with 2 short h264-files => export => crash
3. I used Software only renderer => crash
This is the Windows log that I found:

Linear workflow issues with Media Encoder CC 2014

I'm using After Effects CC 2014 and doesn't seem to be the option anymore to export via AE to H264. There used to be a button in the preferences to enable outdated codecs... not there anymore with CC 2014. So... I added my renders into Media Encoder. The problem is that it is not calculating my project working in Linear Workflow so all my renders are very dark & wrong colors.
Anyone find a work around for this? is there a button in Media Encoder that I need to switch on for linear workflow?

I've been validating in QT, but per your comment I opened up in VLC player as well. VLC player does playback the correct color. I attached SS of same lossless rendered video from AE open in AE, QT, VLC, and then the rendered H264 in QT & VLC from AME in one screen shot. You can see that the H264 file from AME is always just a little bit off when opened in QT or Preview mode (OSX) or uploaded to Vimeo. The rendered H264 file is just the lossless file being encoded into H264 via AME.
That's great that VLC player will playback the correct color, but when uploading to Vimeo, the color shifts as well during playback. I've never had this issue when rendering to H264 directly from AE before. I'm a little new to AME so I'm not sure if there is a setting I am missing or is there a limitation to the H264 codec where I've never noticed the slight color shift? Is there anyway to get a H264 file that will play back via Vimeo/QT without the color shift?

Media encoder or flash problem?
