Media Encoder rendering MP4 files with AAC and M4V files leftover

Hey all,
Just a quick question. My computers' media encoder has started rendering mp4 files and leaving the m4v and aac files there once the render is complete. The mp4 is fine but it's a bit anoying and messy that it's not deleting the files afterwards. Anyone familiar with this issue?
Thanks

Sorry my computer AND media encover version. I run Creative Cloud on a new Mac Pro
File seems to render fine

And this is what I end up with.
Is that helpful?

Media Encoder renders test pattern

CC 2014 - latest build. When I choose to render with Adobe Media Encoder from AE, the Media Encoder renders a test pattern, not the video in the project. The files are on an external drive (TIFF sequence), but the timing for the project is correctly shown in the Media Encoder so I can see that that is correct. What s going on here? Same thing happens with any/all project(s).
Thanks for the help.

Try adding your image sequence to a Premiere Pro sequence and use the default dissolve to add the fade in and fade out there. Send that to the AME or render from Premiere and see if that works.
If it does then try just putting one of your images from the tiff sequence in a new AE comp and see if that will open in the AME. If that doesn't work let us know. You may have found a bug. I just tried it with my system and tiff sequences come into the AME just fine.
Are you sure that both the AME and AE are up to date.

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

AME CC 2014: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."

Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on MacPro "mid-2012" (MacPro5,1) running OSX 10.9.3 and getting this error when trying to launch Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014:
Adobe Media Encoder Error
Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue.
Have uninstalled, reinstalled. Checked and fixed permissions numerous times. Tried removing all plugins and that didn't fix. Also tried editing the text listings within the .app for OpenGL and CUDA to remove all cards listed - that didn't fix anything either.
At this point it's uninstalled and "hopefully" everything will point to CC (non-2014 version). Adobe Media Encoder CC works fine. Adobe Media Encoder CS6 works fine.
Cannot find any other reports of this issue.

Progress in trying to fix. This workaround was NOT successful on previous attempts, but now appears to be working. Seems like the trick was to have AME CC 2014 started and open BEFORE doing any of this? As always, make sure all of your permissions are set properly - had done that numerous times previously. My issue was NOT directly permission related.
Navigate to the following folder:
You may see a file SHORTCUT that is invalid called "Presets":
Remove/delete this file. It's a broken shortcut.
Move a folder of .EPR files into the "8.0" folder. Call it anything except "Presets". Go to AME CC 2014 and quit. (I was greeted with another crash message.)
Open AME CC 2014 again. Your presets will not be loaded yet, but you should see an XML file that was created in your new folder like this:
Delete this file.
You should see a new folder also created by AME called "Presets". Move your .EPR files into this folder and delete the original folder. Quit AME CC 2014. (I was greeted with ANOTHER crash message.)
Open AME CC 2014. Your preset files should be there at the top under the preset browser:
Probably a good idea to keep a copy of those .EPR files elsewhere

Adobe Media Encoder renders in Lossless, such as After Effects?

Adobe Media Encoder renders Lossless like After Effects too?

There are multiple codecs that can losslessly encode video. One example is the PNG video codec in a QuickTime container. Another example (which matches the After Effects output module named Lossless) is the Animation video codec in a QuickTime container.

Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 missing files

I have just brought a clean CS4 adobe production premium suite and i am trying to export some files that i have produced on Premiere.
I am running Mac OSX 10.5 and i have a 2 HDDs one for software and one for Media. I am also running Pro tools and all its inclusive Plugins which may be interrupting it.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 freezes when trying to convert .m4v files to .mp4 files

I'm trying to convert some things I got on itunes in order to put them on my android phone. Media encoder freezes before I even start encoding though, any ideas? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.

I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
The big red arrow.
You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
Your button is not grayed out.
Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely. Good luck.

Media Encoder Hangs on File Import and Playback

Media Encode Hangs on launch (extremely slow not normal). When I drag and drop a file it hangs or using file import it hangs. Encodes that should only take a few minutes are listed as 1 hour.
I use media encoder all the time it does not perform like this! Anyone else experiencing these problems?
Thanks,
System Info
Z800 8 core 12Gig Memory Nividia FX5800 Adobe CC Suite lastest updates. (Media Encoder 7.2)

Still experiencing unexpected behaviour when drag and droping files into project window. I have draged the same file sometimes it loads instantly other times it takes as much as 3 minutes to load. The file size is 354 mb. No other programs are running. Anyone have similar behaviour?

Media Encoder CS6 not working with Premiere

Hi
I have been merrily editing a lager job in Adobe Premiere CS6 and then queuing the time lines to export in media encoder CS6 done the entire job everything rendered fine then Bam all of a sudden when I try and render I get all the audio a couple of frames of video then just black!!
I have tried different codecs same result, I have tried different timelines same result, When I export directly out of Premiere without going through Media encoder all works fine, when I try encoding a file directly in media encoder works ok, It just seems to be the link between Premiere and Media encoder that not working as it should
Anyone got any ideas?
Hi Folks
Has no one had an issue exporting to Media encoder from Adobe Premiere CS6?

Any chance this gets fixed soon? I'm shooting with an AF-100, and at this point I'm still using Final Cut to transcode my footage so I can have audio. I've also noticed the video jumps around even when it does have audio. Prelude has been extremely problematic for me, and it doesn't have a way to bring in clips that returned errors upon importing, I have to write down the clip numbers and bring them in individually. I've also tried just dropping the file structure from the card straight to the hard drive. It's a huge problem, and is keeping me from making the switch fully from FCP 7.

After Effects & Adobe Media Encoder Rendering Issue

Hi,
First of all, just to give a background, I am running Windows 8 and Adobe After Effects CC. We had purchased the computer 2 weeks ago and I was working on a video and everything was fine in After Effects. I then went to render it using Adobe Media Encoder to get the H.264 file type that AE CC doesn't have anymore. AME rendered the first time but I had to make more changes. I went to render it a second time and AME crashed and my computer blue screened. Now when I go to Add compsition to media encoder the program shows the splash screen but then it crashes every time. So after some research I found that there were output settings that you can check to allow AE to render H.264. I rendered my video the first time and it worked fine. I had some mismatched audio so I had to make some changes to it again. I went to render it a second time this morning and I got an error message that said " After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing file...unable to delete existing file." This also crashed and blue screened my computer, now it won't let me render at all in either program. Are there any fixes to this problem?
Thank You!
Frank

Did you re-boot? Did you try re-booting in safe mode? Did you add anything to your computer or run any updates between the first render and the time this problem started?
Did you try creating a new comp, adding a single solid, and then rendering? If that works tell us about your source files including type and compression.
If that fails then make sure that you have run all the updates. Then, make sure you have not installed any 3rd party codec packs. Then, dig up the error log and look for anything you can find that starts with "unable" or "crash" and that may give you a hint.

Adobe Media Encoder different audio file to video file.

Hello,
I've been encoding files from several different DVD's and when I play the encoded file the video is correct but the audio is from a completely different file. This is I am assuming is because the file names on the DVD's are the same i.e. VTS_01_1.. etc. When I realised it was doing this I permanently deleted the incorrectly encoded files, sorted all of the correctly encoded files into seperate folders for each DVD. This did not work even though media encoder was creating new file names for each file it encoded. I then re-named all of the correct files and re-named the files that I was about to encode. I have also cleared the media cache database. The files on the DVD's are fine and play as they should with the correct audio. What do I need to do to get the files to encode with the correct audio?!!! Thank you!

Try this - in Project Bin, right-click the clip in question and select "Make Offline". Then right-click again and choose "Link Media" and point it to the correct source file. Could be that the pointers got all confused as like you said, as sources had the same names.
If that fails to resolve the problem - cleaning the Media Cache only works for projects that no longer exist, or are on a drive that is disconnected. Assuming that maybe the Conformed audio that is being used in the background is messed up, try this - close Premiere, then RENAME the project file, for instance add an "x" to beginning of filename. Now open Premiere (new project), then clean the cache again. Since it can't find your project, it should then remove all temp renders from the drive for that project.
Next, rename project to original name and open and it should conform audio again as if just adding media for the first time. Hopefully for correct clips this time, if you have moved media around on drive to eliminate overlap of file names.

Media Encoder Offline Material (that is present) and constant conforming in each PP CC open.

Hello everyone,
I have a project with several sequence that I have been working for a long time (multicam basically)
Every time I try to render/encode any of the sequence the Media encoder is giving me a:
"Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the Offline Media graphic"
And of course thats not useful at all
Exporting the sequence, manually without the media encoder, give me a good result.
I tried with Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2 and CC 2014, and the behavior is the same.
I also tried to offline the media and link it back again, and the issue stays.
All the media is on a local hard drive (not USB/network)
Another weird behavior, is that every time I open this project, the conforming task starts all over again (also in both PP CC versions). I also, attempted the "Save cache close to the source…" setup, but the results is the same. It conforms every time I open the project (I can see the cache files created in the file system)
This conforming takes a lot of time and is a pain in the ***.
Any recommendation on how to troubleshoot this?
I need to create the final videos soon, and doing it manually (without Media Encoder) is insane (probably a week).
Regards,

Hi guys,
As there was no reply here, I tried to open a case with Adobe, but the guy from the support chat had no idea.
I was in there 2 h, and it only asked:
"where do you have all the media files saved?"
"Ok. Are they linked?"
This was actually answered on the initial problem description.
and after the last question, it just to rapidly close the chat session, and leave me with no answer.
Can anyone point me out how should I address this problem?
Whats the best way to get support from adobe (I'm a CC user)
Regards,

Media encoder cs4 crashes by using Premiere (and conversely)

Hi !
I have some troubles with CS4 Media Encoder.
It was working fine some months ago when I used it for encoding with Premiere CS4 (with HDV and HD video files, sometimes wih video files more than 4 hours long).
Now, it crashes everytime (with the windows message : this program has to be closed), and I just want to encode a DV video (20 minutes of video) ...
But CS4 Media Encoder doesn't crash if it's launched alone. If I lanuch Premiere, Premiere than crashes with the Adobe windows send-reports.
I try to find solution on the websites, like deleting some files or changind folder names, the problem is still there.
Could you please help me with this issue ?
My computer uses windows XP.
Thanks a lot for your help !

I still have the problem, I can't export anything.
And I really need to finish my project soon and quickly but I can't :-(
I try to figure out on Internet how to deal with it, but each time there is a file I don't have, or a folder, or the solution doesn't work...
Please, if you know anything thank you to tell me

Adobe Media Encoder: Finished .flv file doesn't show in finder

I was working with Media Encoder, converting a 37-minute 8GB file into a .FLV, and while the program will go through all of the steps (no error messages, video shows in preview window, progress bar fills all the way) when the conversion is finished there is no file. I've checked all through my computer and the .flv file is not there, It doesn't even show that any new space is being taken up in the computer's memory.
When I convert a 10 - 15 minute video, everything works fine, but I've tried this several times with the same result and I have no idea why?

Is it anything to do with this?
