Media encoder queue option not available...

Hi
I just watched a video on after effects on a mac where under the COMPOSITION menu there was an option to send the currently selected composition to the adobe media encoder in addition to the usual add to render queue. I however do not have this extra option (send to adobe media encoder available) I am on windows vista 64 bit. any ideas why?
cheers!

Angus:
Whoever posted that video made it using a pre-release version and shouldn't have posted a video capture from that. That menu item doesn't exist in After Effects CS4.
That said, the Adobe Media Encoder can now also be used as a standalone application. Even better, if you have Production Premium (or Master Collection) you can open After Effects compositions directly in AME using Dynamic Link. This means AME can be encoding AE compositions while you keep working in After Effects. Of course, if you're not using a multi-core machine with a ton of RAM you are not going to have a smooth experience :)

  • "Add to Adobe Media Encoder queue" option very slow

    Hello,
    The new "add to Adobe Media Encoder queue" directly from After Effects is great, but it is sooooo much slower than encoding directly from Adobe Media Encoder.
    My comp is very simple : it's a 90 min. length video that I'm trying to convert from 24 to 25 frames. I need a MPEG2 export for DVD, so I can't use AE because there're no option to export to MPEG2 files in AE.
    AME announced 10 hours of encoding, but after 5 hours it was only at a third of completion. So I rendered the movie in DNxHD, then encoded in AME : 1 hour for the DNxHD file, and 4 hours for the MPEG2. Much faster!
    I run After Effects CC (12.1.0.168) and AME CC (7.1.0.74) on a windows 7 system with i5 processor and 8go of RAM.
    Anybody else encoutered this issue?

    As for the higher encoding time of exporting to AME frome AE, do you have any clue ?
    Have you applied any effects to the footage in your After Effects comp? Are you using time remapping or the Time Warp effect? That will slow down the encode significantly. Also, what is the format of your source footage?
    Mind that, depending on what you're asking After Effects to render, encoding a comp via AME may not be as fast as using the Render Queue in After Effects. Feeding frames to AME via Dynamic Link incurs some memory overhead and limitations; for example After Effects can not render multiple frames simultaneously on different processors for Dynamic Link encodes.
    If I were you, I would try to solve the problems with AME transcoding your footage. You should bring the issue to the AME forum.  If you're fully committed to not using AME, I recommend using Premiere Pro, not After Effects, for this type of job.
    Regardless of all the above, I agree with Rick: you shouldn't need to transcode 24fps footage to 25fps for playback from DVD. DVD players will do that frame rate translation for you at playback time. But if your footage is not PAL dimensions (720x576), a DVD player won't necessarily convert the frame size, so transcoding at least the frame size is recommended. Bottom line: I would let your DVD authoring software (Encore?) handle the original file; it should do any conversions necessary when you set the DVD format to PAL.

  • "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue" Missing

    Anyone know why my version of AE CS6 doesn't have the option "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue" ? http://t.co/UFTfFXN8VL

    The Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue command is new in After Effects CC; it does not exist in After Effects CS6 or earlier versions. The command is available under both the File > Export and Composition menus. The keyboard shortcut is CTRL+Alt+M (Windows) or CMD+Opt+M (Mac).
    To add an AE comp to the AME Queue in CS6, you can do any of the following (which also work in AE and AME CC):
    Drag one or more comps from the AE Project panel to the AME Queue panel. (Save your project first.)
    Drag the AE project file from the desktop into the AME Queue panel. Choose a single comp and click OK.
    In AME, open the Add Source dialog: choose File > Add Source OR click the Add Source (plus sign) button in the Queue panel OR double-click in the empty area of the AME Queue panel. Choose the AE project file, click Open, then choose a single comp and click OK.
    In AME, choose File > Add After Effects Composition. Choose the AE project file on the left side of the dialog, then choose one or more comps on the right side.

  • Cannot find "Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue"

    I just started in AE, and I've got a pretty good grasp on it from all the tutorials out there.
    But I hate the native rendering system in AE, I'd rather use Media Encoder like I have been for Premiere Pro.
    In the Adobe Tutorials, it says Comp > Add To Adobe Media...  but I don't have that option even available. I'm using Adobe After Affects CS6. This wasn't removed in CS6 Was it?

    In After Effects CS6, even though the Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue command isn't present, you can add your composition to AME by other methods. Either use the File > Add command inside AME, or drag and drop your composition from After Effects to AME. Make sure to save your project first.

  • Media Encoder Queue Processing

    It takes much longer to export a Pr sequence as an MP4 fiel when I put it in the Media Encoder queue than it does if I Export it directly. I assume this is because once the sequence in in the queue the GPU acceleration does not engage. Is it pssible to put sequences in the queue and force GPU acceleration to engage?

    My observation is that a Pr sequence Exported then put into the Queue takes 3 times longer to complete than if I use the Export option (instead of Queue).

  • Premiere freezes when sending to Media Encoder Queue

    Hey guys,
    This issue is on all of our computers (Mac Pros and 27" iMacs) and happens on 40% of attempted exports through Media Encoder.
    Here's our new workflow:
    - Export TImeline (Command + M)
    - Send to Media Encoder (Queue button)
    - Media Encoder Opens and Premiere gets hung on "Preparing Data for Export" dialogue
    - Force Quit Premiere and get a dialogue that "There has been a serious error and Premiere needs to close"
    - Reopen Premiere and try again – usually get a clean export (or two on a good day) before it craps out again
    We've sort of gotten used to it but I'm wondering – anyone else having this issue? It's getting annoying (and embarrassing when you're in a client session).
    Doesn't matter what timeline setting or what's on the timeline. Also doesn't matter what version of either program.

    I am having the same problem (see Premiere now freezes on Media Encoder Queue)
    I am on 2014.1 of both programs (8.1.0 on premiere, 8.1.0.122 of AME).  I know an update just came out today, but it seems to be just a RAW photo update.
    Mine hangs when premiere is "Preparing Media for Export..."  It launches AME and AME boots up fine... so from where I sit, it looks like a Premiere problem as it's compiling the project file to export.
    Neither "import natively / non natively" or GPU acceleration help.  However, I wouldn't expect them to, given this seems to be a premiere problem, not an AME problem.
    That thread does not apply re: nView.

  • Premiere now freezes on Media Encoder Queue

    After updating to the Oct 2014 CC Update, upon exporting media using the Media Encoder queue, Premiere freezes on the "Preparing Data for Export" box.  It launches Media Composer, but it never makes it out of Premiere.
    Just exporting from the application works, as well as importing sequences straight into Media Encoder.  But I need the queue to work.

  • Media Encoder CC 2014 not encoder in parallel mode.

    Media encoder cc normally render in parallel.
    Media Encoder 2014 will not.
    Why?
    2014 How do I render in parallel?

    That doesn't answer any of my questions.
    1. Are those custom or system presets?
        - If system presets, what are they?
        - If custom, could you specify the basic settings of that preset?
    2. Are you exporting to Dolby in any of those presets?
    3. Is "Enable Parallel Encoding" checkbox checked in preferences?
    The reason I ask is because we purposely don't allow parallel encoding with some combinations of settings and obviously if you disabled parallel encoding in the prefs, it will not work.

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • Adobe Media Encoder 2.5  Not Reading Canon XH-A1

    Adobe Media Encoder 2.5 Not Recognizing Canon XH-A1
    Vegas Bill - 01:34pm Sep 3, 2008 Pacific
    I have not been able to get the Canon XH-A1 to be recognized
    by the Adobe Flash Media Encoder v2.5. Get size error and sometimes
    configuration errors. Trying to do live stream with HD. Get error
    also stating the video size from the device is wrong size error.
    I get this on both XP and Vista Prem
    Any ideas of how to get this beast to connect live through
    the encoder or is there another solution for live stream to the
    media server 3? Need to get the Camera to feed live video directly
    from local camera & box to flash media server 3
    Thank you

  • Preview on [device name] option not available

    Preview on [device name] option not available on Folio Overlays

    In v20 its available in the Folio Builder panel (iPad only, I think). You have to plug to your Mac to the iPad with the USB cable and starting the Adobe Content Viewer app on the iPad first. Otherwise check iTunes on your Mac if your iPad is listed under "Devices".
    Are you using InDesign CS5.5 or InDesign CS6?
    You have to be up to date with the Overlay Creator panel to v20 as well. Check for that.
    Recently I had no chance with InDesign CS5 and the v20 tools installed on a Mac with OSX 10.5.8.

  • WLAN override option not available for WLC 4402 - 6.0.196.

    Hi All,
    Its kind of weird BUT it seems that the option for WLAN override is missing.u.
    I could find it on the lower version BUT not on the 6.0.196.
    Please help.
    Does this mean I could only set it up via the WCS and not the WLC directly.
    Thank you.
    Warmest Regards,
