Premiere Pro CC and Encoder CC ( 7.1.0 ) produce different outputs dependant on Queue or Export meth

I have used a standard workflow for many months but recently something has changed. If I create a simple 720x576 sequence with video and then send this to Media encoder I get different results dependant on if I queue or export the sequence. If I export directly from the application then the resulting file is perfect ( MPEG2/QT ) , however if I queue the file and then export the resulting file contains small black vertical bands at either side of the image an the resulting image looks squashed.
Testing the same workflow in CS6 does not have the issue.
Has something changed with the latest 7.1.0 release ???
Can anyone make a simple test and let me know ??
If you simply queue to the Media encoder and view the window you can see the added bands ??
I am using MAC OSX 10.7.5 as a platform
Thanks

Here you can download the trial they are all the first build (7.0)

Also, take care to track down Adobe Media Encoder 7.0 — the installers above don't downgrade AME, and you'll have issues queing projects if you're sending it from Premiere 7.0 to AME 7.2.

  • Premiere pro CS4+media encoder CS4 problem encoding to WMV and MOV

    Hello,
    I am new to CS4. I lurked around the meanders of CS4 help and FAQ. In spite of the large help database I could not find a solution to my issue.
    I edited a little movie from shots I took during holidays. I edited in premiere pro cs4 and it is a bit faster than CS3 <yoohoo>
    However I want to export the movie as NTSC source to high quality download. In the Expot settings,  I wrote a file output of course so it can encode and compile the movie somewhere on my HDD and I did not touch anything in standad NTSC source to high quality download values and tabs. In the end the movie should be around 848 mega.
    I press OK, then Media Encoder pops up on screen. my project comes automatically in Media Encoder which is neat so I just had to click on start Queue but here is my problem...
    I can wait for 4 hours or more, Media Encoder status states Encoding but nothing moves forward. Elapsed time remains at 00:00:00, Estimated Remaining remains blank.
    Although something triggered my attention when I widen Media Encoder Source Name tab. It sounds like my project from Premiere Pro is placed in a temporary folder instead of using the regular save project file folder in ...>adobe>premiere pro>4>sebsofie2010b which strange.
    I try to place a picture of my issue and perhaps it will help everyone.
    This picture was taken about 1 hour and half after I tried to encode the movie for the fifth time.
    The status quotes "Encoding"...
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello,
    This is Song to an Illiad. I had to change Email address and password as I am switching provider soon.
    So Ok to bypass the issue at that time, I simply transfered all files to a jumpdrive and re-did the composition at a friend house. Although my problem persist and Thank you for the Wiki link it was helpful. Sherlock free ware discovered several erronous Codec. Do not ask me why, how, when please. I do not toy around with codecs and all I do is update software but I have several software going from Adobe to Autodesk series as well as Nero Light version that came with my Dvd burner.  Should I also mention I play video games when down time permits, as such I updated several time the DirectX software. Beside this, what is it called... Dvix or Xvid, well something like that... prompted me about 2 months ago to update to a newer version which I did. Finally I installed a freeware to export an avi type to another found on Cnet.com a few months ago as the file could be seen in Premiere pro but there were no Audio track seen in premiere while the client gave me his camcorder and I knew there should be an audio track, it was a sort of camcorder that records on a memory sticks which is why the camera was small. It was a canon but nothing more detailed than that. Anyway, I had the camera with no drivers whatsoever and I had a hard time to find the driver for free online which is why I found a freeware or perhaps was it a shareware or a trial (I am not sure), anyway it decoded and re-encoded the movie which it did successfully with lots of image loss quality but it was succesful. I know I deliberatly threw the shareware or trial straight in the garbage once I was done because I do not want this kind of junk on my PC. Perhaps could it be the issue with Media Encoder not able to start?!?!
    Here comes a couple of texts Copy/Past & image to describe what Sherlock found

    What should I do? Can I just reinstall the codec from my Adobe CS4 Production Suite (Without) creating more issues and problems? It seemed the Wiki hints were helpful to pin point a problem but not always at giving solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Seb
    P.S: Could Adobe throw a little software to download to ensure all codecs are what they should be like and prompt user to reinstall straight from our Dvds? It would be soo much easier that way.

  • 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.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 - Media Encoder Crash when Exporting to MPEG-2

    System:
    Core i7 920 @ 3.8 Ghz
    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
    12GB DDR3 1600
    External Sound Card - M-Audio ProFire 610
    OS Drive - 2x300GB WD Raptors - Raid 0
    Project Drives - 3x300 WD Raptor - Raid 0
    Video Card - Geforce GTX 285 1GB
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 continually crashes or hangs every time I try to export to MPEG-2.  I can successfully render to every other codec without any issue, but need the MPEG-2 for an Adobe Encore Project.
    The project is approximately 38 minutes long and contains AVI and MP4 files, all of which were ripped from DVDs as I'm producing a reel for a producer who provided his DVDs for me to rip and use as content.
    Possible issues:
    1.   Currently have Magic DVD Ripper and DVD Fab installed (codec conflicts?)
    2.   Originally ripped the DVDs at 630x360 (my mistake - hadn't really worked with a DVD ripper before and was the largest avi pre-set) and I'm exporting to MPEG-2 standard 720x480 Widescreen)  (I know I should've just ripped them as the original lossless MPEG-2 files - I'm a tool)
    2.   Blank space in the timline (there are a number of these)
    I would like to get some input before I try to export to MPEG-2 again as I blew a capacitor on my old mother board (Gigabyte x58-ud3r) after I had gotten my computer to start rendering a MPEG-2 after about 50 tries to export/launch media encoder set on MPEG-2.  I just installed my new motherboard to replace it.  Clearly MPEG-2 taxes the system more so than any other codec (from what I can tell).  However, I thought the issue with the blank space/no media in the timeline was fixed with CS5.  I saw in a previous post that someone thought that ffdshow was conflicting with AME.  I don't have ffdshow, but I believe that's a ripper program like Magic and DVDFab.

    I experienced this at one point.  Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime.  (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.)  However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem.  Search this board using quicktime as a search phase.  The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions.  I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

  • XDCAM HD workflow with Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Macbook Pro

    Hi folks,
    I have an assignment for a TV production to secure and convert the data (mxf files XDCAM HD 422 1080i 50 / 50 Mbit/sec with 8 audio channels) from Sony XDCAM camcorders (PDW-700) for postproduction.
    The producer wants me to convert the mxf files during production to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for faster and smooth editing during postproduction.
    I'm not sure about the final output yet, but I guess it will be either 720p50 or 1080i 25, since the production will be broadcast and as far as I know this is the standard for HD on German television. It is also not clear which NLE will be used for editing (usually one of the producers edits their projects with FCP, but this time they've got their hands full and are still looking for someone to outsource postproduction.
    Unfortunately, my Macbook is getting fixed as we speak, so I can't try things out.
    Since this is the first time I'm doing this workflow, could someone please check if I got everything right?
    1. Can someone please confirm that I can actually convert the mxf files using AME CC to Apple ProRes 422?
    Or do I need to install any other tools/converters for this task? Does MPEG streamclip do the job? Any other freeware?
    2. When converting to Apple ProRes422, the producer suggested to deinterlace the footage (1080i 50) to 25p, if 720p or 1080p I have to find out tomorrow since our conversation got interrupted this afternoon.
    In my opinion this doesn't make sense, though. First, if output to 1080i 25 it has to stay interlaced anyway. Second, in case the output will be 720p 50 I would edit the footage either natively or in Apple ProRes 422, but leave deinterlacing until the very end when outputting to the final format. This way I could use an advanced deinterlacer, e.g. the one from Magic Bullet Suite, rather than just checking some deinterlace box in the export settings for Apple ProRes 422.
    The reason the producer suggested to deinterlace right away when using  an intermediate like ProRes was that she and the client got irritated by the jagged lines from the interlaced footage when editing the last project with the same requirements on a progressive display.
    3. What would be the best solution to tackle this issue (jagged lines) during editing?
    As I said my Mac is getting fixed, so I have no way of trying things out,and I usually edit DSLR footage which is progressive anyway.
    But if I remember correctly I can switch my monitor between 1080p and 1080i. This should do the trick, shouldn't it?
    4. Can I keep all of the 8 audio tracks when converting to ProRes using AME CC ?
    5. Is ProRes422 (HQ) really necessary, or is the regular quality sufficient for this kind of job?
    6. Let's assume the whole project would be edited within Adobe Premiere Pro CC and  system specs as stated below:
    Since Adobe Premiere Pro CC has native support for  XDCAM HD is there any advantage of using an intermediate like ProRes at all?
    How smooth is native editing with XDCAM HD in Premiere Pro CC? I don't think there will be more than 3-4 video tracks in use...
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Jim! I knew there must be a reason xdcam is widely uses for eng aquistion :) I think they used FCP 6 or 7 on their last project... So what about monitoring interlaced footage on a progressive screen? Any advice on that? Is there a converter built in to APP CC that deinterlaces in realtime when monitoring interlaced sources on a progressive screen? And would you agree that deinterlacing source material is best left right before outputting?

  • .wmv's getting cut in half horizontally inside Premiere Pro, AE, Media Encoder...

    Hello everyone! I'm having an issue using .WMV's within Premiere Pro, AE, and the Media Encoder. Whenever I open the image in a sequence or the source window, the image is cut in half horizontally (see pic below). I brought in an MP4 and had no issues so at the moment I think I have narrowed down to strictly a .WMV problem. The file plays perfectly fine in realtime; audio sounds great, picture (of what I can see) looks good; I am just missing the top half of any WMV file hehe. I have tried the WMV inside AE as well but have the same issue. I also tried to export the WMV with Media Encoder but it exports the WMV cut in half no matter what format I tell it to conver the file to..
    My Premiere Pro, AE, and Media Encoder are fully up to date; my Nvidia 660 Ti is up to date; I just installed latest Windows 7 codec package; Just installed newest Windows 7 x64 updates.
    Also, this is a big one to note...This is the first time I have used Premiere Pro/AE/Media Encoder on this system. I just built this PC about 1 month ago and have had 0 problems with it across other programs (Photoshop, 3ds max, etc..) I just recently installed Premiere, AE, Media Encoder on it and am running into this problem upon my first bootup of Premiere/AE/Media Encoder.
    My system specs are posted below the picture and file specs.
    The pic below shows my setup and the issue I am having. The video of Finding Nemo on the left is the .MP4 (specs on file are below) and the video on the right is the .WMV in question (specs also below.)

  • How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

    I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer.  I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
    We use adobe premiere pro 4.  We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels.  When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us.  When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel.  Also useless. 
    When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down. 
    this is the problem.  Each of our  4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue.  When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language. 
    Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels?  How do you do it?
    Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

    Hi Steve,
    Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
    Thanks

  • Premiere Pro CC and the new Mac Pro - are all upgrades necessary?

    Monday I'm ordering the new Mac Pro because my Mid 2012 Mac Pro tower is simply too slow and crashy no matter how much money I sink into it. Thing is, every little upgrade I add onto this new Mac Pro is very expensive, so I want to make sure I don't add anything that won't make a difference in edit performance.
    My ultimate goal is to be able to work with 4k, and even 5k footage in 2014. More and more clients are giving me Red media, and my system right now can't handle it (I have to render proxy files for everything).
    Attached are my hardware upgrade options for my processor and graphics card. These options can only be offered when I order the computer. Neither the processor or the GFX card can be changed by me later. Note that these options alone almost double the computers's price (3600). As of now I assume that getting the fastest everything is the way to go, but is there any reason I should not go this high?
    jesse

    We have an issue when we send a film to the media encoder it crashes about half of the time for no particular reason
    Anyone else got that too with Premiere Pro CC and the new Media encoder?
    Lack of detailed info makes your question impossible for anyone to answer you!

  • Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder question...

    Hi,
    I got a question regarding the Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder.
    I am converting a sequence in Premiere Pro CS3 which contains footage from a '.vob' file which is NTSC, 720x480, 16:9 to a '.flv' file.
    Now I'm doing this via Premiere Pro CS3 Media Encoder and it let's me choose the Width & Height but there is no checkbox to keep the proportions - which I find is very, very inconvenient...
    So if I wanna convert this to a .flv file which is 400 high, the width should be 600, right ?
    Also, there is no way to specify to keep the 16:9 aspect ratio.
    Is that done automatically or how/where can I specify it ?
    Thanx for your help in advance !
    Mike

    If you want 16:9. you need to consider that the lower number should probably be divisible by 72. So, if you want something about 600 wide, I would use 360 for the lower number which gives you a frame size of 640X360
    When divisible by 72, it is evenly divisible by both 8, which is great for encoders, and 9, which is the frame ratio you want.
    Just choose square pixels and you will be fine.

  • Premiere Pro CC and Encore CC are ignoring the Target and Maximum Bitrates

    Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Encore CC are ignoring the Target and Maximum Bitrates settings in the export window, The files that are exported are much smaller than what the estimated size of the file should be shown in the export window and are highly compressed. What can cause such an issue?
    I haven't drastically changed my presets.

    There is a very definite bug in the Adobe Media Encoder engine which is used in both Premiere Pro and After Effects.  H.264 exports seem to randomly choose their own export quality, using 2-pass VBR.  I have found with some DV-size exports on 'match quality' in Premiere Pro, that setting the export above 10Mbps pushes the quality down to well under 1Mbps, e.g. 167kbps.  I've found that using the default min 6, max 8 seems to work the best.  I've worked with this on two different machines and fiddled with it extensively and this is definitely NOT an intended 'feature'.  In fact, I have found that exporting from the same sequence, if I select the first 20 seconds, I get very low bitrate, but if I select 30 seconds or more, I get the higher bitrate that I want!  And I tend to get different results when I enable and disable 'use previews'.
    I am also having some trouble with missing frames when exporting progressive animation files to h.264 mp4 files that never occured before.  Not sure yet if this is related to the same issue, but interestingly, I don't get the 'blinking' missing frames issue when the bitrate drops itself down to a very low 150-200kbps.  When I do get the export rate up higher, then the missing frames on just this animation clip return.
    So, after my tests, here is a screen capture of sample export settings (yes, 15Mbps is a very high bitrate for DV, but the same happens at 6Mbps or 7 or whatever I try in some cases):
    This gave me a 1.5MB file with a reported 167kbps bitrate and a quality level as shown below:
    A currently working 'workaround' is to use 1-pass VBR which gives me a crisp, clean 5.5MB file.  Would a few others please try to reproduce this so we can get it escalated to bug status?  I'll report it if you can confirm it there, this is happening on two computers here.
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • HT1338 Hi, Is there a way to increase the maximum size of a download? I'm trying to download Adobe premiere pro (1GB) and I'm getting an error message that says my maximum download is 10 MG

    Hi, Is there a way to increase the maximum size of a download? I'm trying to download Adobe premiere pro (1GB) and I'm getting an error message that says my maximum download is 10 MG

    That's between you and your internet service provider.  By the way, you posted to the 10.3 forum.  10.3 can't run on your MacBook Pro. Don't forget the following facts:
    b= bit
    B = Byte
    8 bits in a byte
    A typical DSL connection has 1 Mbps speed or 128 kBps speed.
    At that speed
    1 minute gives you 7.5 MB
    10 minutes gives you 75 MB
    100 minutes gives you 750 MB
    A typical cable connection can be 5 times faster although some are 30 times faster.
    A typical fiber connection is 15 times faster and some are 50 times faster.
    Ask what your speed is rated at.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5

    Hi I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to Adobe products. I was wondering whether Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5 can be used together, for instance Premiere Pro to do the basic editing and After Effects to do some more advanced stuff before importing the clip back into Premiere Pro for exporting the film.

    Yeah.

  • Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC work slowly together - much worse than CS6

    Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6 worked together really well.  I could have both programs open and make a change in After Effects, then go back to Premiere Pro and see the changes pretty quickly.  Since upgrading both to CC, I can't jump back and forth and see the changes quickly.  I literally have to hit Enter and render the After Effect clip after every freakin' time I make a change to it in order to see it without any pauses or jumpiness in the playback.  CS6 worked great.  I can't express my disappointment in the Creative Cloud "upgrade".   So many things are SO MUCH WORSE!!!   Adobe you have to fix this stuff.

    The speed of the connection is dependent on your hardware and the type of comp you have in AE.
    I haven't noticed any significant performance difference between the two versions (I've also been heavily using dynamic link since CS6 ).
    Some comps will play fine in Premiere, some comps will need rendering. I generally render the clip in Premiere, as opposed to AE.
    If the same comp from CS6 is behaving significantly worse in CC, then you might be on to something, but it is most likely a bug isolated to your hardware config and not a general CC issue.
