Published .avi from Captivate is shorter in Adobe Media Encoder

I published 8 slides from Captivate 4 to .avi video format.  When I play the .avi in Windows Media Player, it works great.  I'm using Adobe Media Encoder to convert it to .flv file to use in my Flash project.  When I import the .avi to AME, it's shorter and the audio on the last slide is cut off.  I tried inserting a duplicate slide with silent audio in Captivate to extend the duration by 10 seconds.  Still, the .avi is 2:57 in length and when I import it to AME it's 2:47.  It makes no difference if I extend the last silent slide to even 25 seconds.
Is this an issue with AME or with Captivate 4?  How do I fix it?
Thank you!

Here's the info I can provide at this time:
Yes, it seems that this only affects .avi files published from Captivate.  Other .avi files reflect the correct length when imported to AME.
Using AME CS4 4.2.0.006.
Using Captivate CS4 4.0.0.1596.
Yes, it happens with every .avi file published from Captivate.  I've tried the following and still the last slide (#8) was cut off at the end including its audio:
extended last slide (#8) for more than a minute after the audio stops
extended the audio on the last slide (#8) by inserting silence for additional 30 seconds
added another slide (#9) after the last slide
added another slide (#9) after the last slide with 30 seconds of silent audio
I did find a temporary solution, however.  I added a transparent object (rectangle) a few seconds after the audio ended on slide 8 and when I published to .avi, Captivate recognized the added object and published the video to include the added animation.
You may download a zipped file containing the Captivate project and the published .avi from here:

  • Publishing AVI from Captivate 4 - why such a MASSIVE file size.

    I've produced the AVI from Captivate 4 without a problem, but the resulting file is massive; over 500 MG for a project with 47
    slides.
    The .cp file for the project is only 7 MG.  Why is the AVI so massive?  Is there something in my setup causing it or is it simply in how Captivate converts the SWF to AVI?
    Thanks for any input,

    Codec selection is  more art than science. A few years ago, when I was playing with codecs more heavily than now, I fell in love with the Sorenson codec...only problem  was, no client machines had Sorenson installed.
    So I either had to push Sorenson to the clients or figure out what the clients had and work with that.
    That is pretty much where I am now, working within the set of codecs that everyone tends to have.
    It was great fun exploring the best codecs, but if people couldn't see the results, that rather tended to diminish the effectiveness of the video.

  • When I add my composition to the Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it renders out incorrectly?

    Why is it that when I add my composition directly from after effects to the adobe media encoder, it renders out of the adobe media encoder incorrectly? By that I mean the video comes out a little scrambled- parts of it overlap other parts. Is this an issue with 'dynamic link'? Did I do something wrong? I'm working in CC.

    I also don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "parts of it overlap other parts"? A screen shot might help.
    What were your render settings in AME? (Format, Codec, data rate, etc.)
    What is in your AE comp? If footage, tell us what format, codec, etc. Tell us what effects were used too.
    What exact version number of AE CC are you using?

  • AppV - Adobe Media Encoder not in default location?

    I'm virtualizing Adobe Captivate 5, which includes Adobe Media Encoder. During virtualization, when I launch AME, I get a message:
    Adobe Media Encoder is not being run from the default installation location. This is not a supported configuration."
    I never changed the installation location for Captivate... it's going to wherever Adobe has it set to go.
    After I hit OK (that's my only choice, no "Don't show me this message again") the app seems to be OK... so if there's a way to change a registry key or something and just get rid of that message, that would probably be fine.

    Unfortunately, video features are not supported for photoshoop cc and cc 2014 on windows 32 bit operating systems.

  • Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

    Hi Folks,
    I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
    1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
    2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
    3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
    4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
    Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
    Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

    Sorry for your troubles.
    Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable.  Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
    Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen.  Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so.  And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
    So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.

  • Exporting Video with Adobe Media Encoder filled up my OS Drive

    I exported a 2+ hour video queued from Premiere CC 2014 to Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014. I had some dynamically linked files to both AE CC 2014 and AU CC 2014. All my media caches where set to a different drive on my pc. After the export was done, I was left from 42 GB on the OS to 13 GB on the OS drive. Does anyone have a clue of what happened and where those "cached" files might be so I can get rid of them?
    I would greatly appreciate some guidance in this matter.
    Cordially,
    Edwin

    To whom it may concern,
    I have resolved my own problem. I did some minor maintenance on my computer, some file management and got the GB on my OS drive up to 33 GB. I restarted my computer and it booted up with 75.5 GB on the OS drive. It seems to have "flushed" all the previously cashed files from my export. If anyone has a clear idea of how this happened, I would love to know still. If anyone is interested on knowing what I did as "maintenance" I can also share this. Just post a reply to this discussion and I will share.

  • How do I reinstall missing Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

    I need some help here ??
    When attempting to encode on Vista from Premiere 3.2 the Adobe Media Encode (AME) just goes off and hangs.
    Looked for the error log which lives at
    C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt
    Make sure you have view hidden files turned on to look for this file..
    Ok the folder "Adobe Media Encoder" is not on my machine... It looks like the installation is FUBAR.
    I check CS3 Master Collection distribution - I don't see a module for Adobe Media Encoder to reinstall.
    So my question is . How do I reinstall the "Adobe Media Encoder" for the CS3 collection ?
    Anybody have a clue as how to do this ?
    How do I reinstall the Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

    Mr Hunt...
    I my view you're a wizzard with statute more than Merlin...
    Here's what I found. Last time I shut down ProPre I was on a dual monitor.
    I tossed my laptop in the car went to 2nd location.
    Re-configured laptop for single monitor mode.
    Upon starting up ProPre hammered encoding and the resulting screen opened ...... which I could not see.
    PrePro DOES NOT sense hardware.... Dhaaaaaaaaa
    Its stays stuck in dual monitor mode !!!!!
    You need a second monitor to unstick it !!!!!
    I was unable to set it back to single mode without the 2nd monitor !!!
    Yahhoooo !!!! Its working again !!!!!
    Dhaaaaaaa

  • Export AVI from Adobe Media Encoder Mac

    I would like to export AVI files from Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. Am I able to buy the codecs for Mac to do so?

    [email protected]
    VLC player does get the job done, but I have found it to be glitchy in the past.
    I would recommend MPEG Streamclip much more strongly.
    I trust it much more.
    And free download, for Mac or PC. Just google it. (Though I have only ever used the Mac versions.)
    Though, I don't understand what you mean by saying that the .avi extention seem contrary to what was said above.
    Whatever "container" you use for your video file is what the extension will be. i.e. "video_file.avi"
    Within that container, there will be a compression codec (of which there are numerous options) that the container used to compress the video.
    That codec will not be displayed in the extension.
    MknzBrkr
    I know you posted over a month ago...but maybe it will still be helpful!
    I do not remember the video codecs available within VLC player. Sorry.
    But if you decide to follow my advice to Timoyer and use MPEG Streamclip (which I highly recommend that you do!)...
    Then you can use File > Export to AVI... > and then select "Apple Component Video - YUV422".
    That is an uncompressed format.
    While it will be quite large, hopefully that will be what your client is looking for.
    Good luck to you all!
    And have a great week!

  • Adobe Media Encoder Fails to convert the H264 movs from may Canon 5D mark 2, to Cineform AVI's

    It fails no mater what codec settings I have tried.....forcing me to use the HD Link that came with NeoScene( Cineform)....Once converted by HDLink, the Adobe Media Encoder is fine transcoding the Cineform avi's to any format it normally works with.
    While not a huge problem--certainly I "can" always use HDlink to convert the mov's....I would like to get this fixed.....
    And then there is the issue of what should be the appropriate way to metalog when I dump 300 new clips into the system that were just shot.....Of course it is easy with the mov files, but really I would think they should all be transcoded to Cineform AVI's before doing anything...Thoughts?
    Dan Volker

    I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a "bug". The only thing at issue (if I understand correctly) is that AME is failing to recognize the PAR of the file. AFAIK, there is no "standard" for flagging PAR in AVI files (aside from DV footage, which can have simple boolean 16x9 flag).
    Adobe has their RIFF headers -- but this is by no means a standard across the entire industry. There is no indication that your file contains any PAR information whatsoever.
    If you open the file in Premiere, you should be able to right-click on the clip in the Project window, go to Interpret Footage and select the correct PAR of 1.333.
    The problem is that the standalone version of AME does not have an "Interpret Footage" option to override PAR assumptions for AVI files, etc. that are added to queue. This is a good idea for a feature request for future versions of AME.

  • Adobe Media Encoder for CS4 error Could not read from the source

    Hello,
    I get an error when I try to export from Premiere CS4. It doesn't matter how I export. Seems like an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated:
    - Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\ARTWHI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\extra and b roll.prproj
    - Output File: E:\Living Accused Movie Transfers\video\Cindy at table.avi
    - Preset Used: NTSC DV
    - Video:
    - Audio:

    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been
    deleted.
    Thank you
    Art

    When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
    Do one or both of the following solutions:
    Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Close all Adobe applications.
    In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
    Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
    Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
    Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
    Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
    Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
    Do one of the following:
    Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
    Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
    Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
    Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
    Re-install your Adobe software.

  • Adobe Media Encoder bug with Cineform .avi

    I encoded an HDV m2t file to Cineform intermediate in Sony Vegas. I added that file to Adobe Media Encoder's render cue. No matter what export format I choose, AME fails to recognize the source file's pixel aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and produces a horizontally squashed image.
    Even the source window incorrectly shows the file as having a PAR of 1:1. Premiere Pro CS4 won't load the source file properly. I can import it into AE CS4. From there, I exported it to the same Cineform intermediate, and then it works fine in AME.
    Why can't AME and Premiere Pro recognize the proper PAR in the Vegas-encoded Cineform file?

    I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a "bug". The only thing at issue (if I understand correctly) is that AME is failing to recognize the PAR of the file. AFAIK, there is no "standard" for flagging PAR in AVI files (aside from DV footage, which can have simple boolean 16x9 flag).

  • Long load times normal for Adobe Media Encoder from Premiere CS5?

    When I export a sequence from Adobe Premiere CS5 using Adobe Media Encoder, the system freezes for several minutes before giving me the exporter screen.  Then, when I've loaded my settings and clicked "export," the system again freezes for several minutes before beginning to encode.    I'm using a system with an Intel I7 CPU 930 @ 2.80Ghz 2.80 Ghz., 24 GB of ram, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit operating system and an Nvidia quadro FX4800 graphics card..  Everything else is fast, but AME is slow.  Is this normal? Should I reinstall AME?

    Not sure what you mean about the process.  From Premiere CS5, I click on "export" which brings up a menu. I select "media" from the menu which brings up the Adobe Media Encoder.  I adjust my settings and click "export" from the bottom of the screen to immediately render the Premiere file.  Clicking "Queue" would put the program into the AME Queue.  Am I missing something?  On the slowness issue, looks like I need to reinstall AME. I've been reluctant to do that, partially because I'm using some Matrox hardware and I'll have to reinstall the Matrox softare to populate the matrox settings into the media encoder. Looks like it may be worth it.
    Thanks.

  • MPEG-2 option missing from Adobe Media Encoder (ver7.2.0.43)

    Hi all,
    Having an issue getting the MPEG-2 option for our Creative Cloud installation, specifically in Media Encoder's presets.
    The following steps were recommended on another Adobe forum addressing this issue:
    1.Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro or the Creative Suite.
    2.Run the cleanup script found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    3.Reinstall Adobe Premiere Pro or the Creative Suite.
    4.Launch Adobe Premiere Pro.
    5.When prompted for activation during launch, ensure that the computer is online and complete activation.
    If the computer cannot be brought online, complete the offline activation during the first launch of the software. Do not choose to activate later.
    6.After Activation, close and restart Adobe Premiere Pro.
    We have been able to run through steps1 to 4, however the Activation option in #5 does not appear at all (must be activation is included as part of our CC license).
    Without the option to deactivate/activate Premiere how can we go about getting the MPEG-2 option to appear?
    Thanks again

    Hi Jim,
    I'm having the same problem of the mpeg 2 codecs missing from adobe media encoder.  I have 2 computers and on both of them the mpeg 2 options for encoding have disappeared today.  Can you please help? 

  • Queuing from Premiere Pro to Adobe Media Encoder no longer working? CS6

    Hi there,
    Just very recently adobe media encoder has stopped accepting que's from premiere. I choose export in premiere, setup the export details and hit que, adobe media encoder launches, but then it flashes once (like disappears reappears, very quickly) and then it just simply does nothing. No item appears in the que. I have tried opening the premiere sequence directly from adobe media encoder but it does nothing either. If I drag the premiere project directly onto a preset in adobe media encoder, it crashes every time. (though not sure if it would of done this previous to my problem arising)
    Anyway, very frustrating as I usually work on a different project whilst media encoder is rendering something out. Now i'm stuck with huge down times as I wait till the render is finished.
    Recently updated to Mac OSX 10.8.3 - I think this is when the problem began.
    Just updated the CUDA driver to 5.0.45 but this has not changed anything.
    Working on a Mac Pro 5,1, 2x2.4Ghz 24GB RAM, EVGA GTX 660 FTW,

    Some suggestions and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS6 completely missing from Mastercollection CS6

    Computer Environment:
    MacBook Pro Early 2011
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB
    Memory  16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    SSD with 512GB; about 81GB are still free
    Mavericks  OS X 10.9.5
    Adobe Mastercollection CS6
    Quicktime Player (Standard)
    Problem:
    I am currently missing the sidekick Adobe Media Encoder (AME), even though I succesfully can run After Effects and Premier Pro.
    I cannot locate the AME app anywhere on my hard drive to launch it manually.
    Steps/general information:
    I initially was able to run AME, after fixing another problem with launching it by deleting the ExportQuickTimeHost.bundle / QuicktTimeHost.bundle as I have described in another post (https://forums.adobe.com/message/7221143#7221143 – #26 is my post).
    Unfortunately, the presets for Quicktime (I needed prores) were missing, even after I have done a workaround, by copying prores-codecs into AME plugins, as described in this post: martin-thoburn.com » Install the Apple ProRES codec without Final Cut or ProApps
    The next time launching QuickTime, I was not able to open it again.
    I uninstalled, reinstalled and updated After Effects and Premier Pro three times now and took away the QuickTimeHost.bundle from AME and Premiere Pro
    I also tried resetting ACL (through Utilities, when starting the MacBook with option key pressed down) as suggested by Seth Goldin in the post https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1010136
    I already tried wiping down the whole Adobe Suite, using the Cloud Cleaner Tool, delete the presets in the user library and then reinstall the apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat, After Effects and Premiere Pro. There is now only the CS6 (and not for example some CC apps) on my Computer. All apps are up to date.
    I didn't install any other codecs by accident.
    Since AME was again not launching (Splash screen wasn't showing me any plugins, AME could have loaded). I simply deleted AME by trashing it.
    Now it's completely gone, even after reinstalling (and launching) After Effects and Premier Pro.
    By trying to install AME's updates (6.0.1 and 6.0.2) I naturally get an error message, since the main app is missing.
    I have battled with AME about half a year now, so things like reinstalling Lion and then Mavericks has occurred before as well.
    And unfortunately, I am in the middle of a big project, which is due in a month and two days. Hope the links are not too confusing
    – please look through them though, as the solutions I tried out are very clearly written in those posts.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Update in chronological order:
    I uninstalled the Cloud, which I kept for making updates; I also uninstalled everything from Adobe (CS6 mastercollection)
    I ran the Cloud cleaner tool
    I reinstalled only Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Premier Pro, After Effects and Acrobat. Bridge and AME were installed as sidekicks of Photoshop and AE/PP.
    So this has solved problem 1 already.
    On to problem 2 (update only):
    updated all adobe software, incl. DynamicLinkMediaServerRetail-1.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate
    I installed Final Cut Pro 7
    I (re)installed Quicktime 7.6.6*
    I downloaded the Prores Presets for AME (as you suggested in post #2)
    I tried opening AME – that did not work, as it hung on the ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle
    Went to AME app, right clicked on app icon to get "Show package content">Contents>Plug-Ins>Common and deleted ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuickTimeHost.bundle
    repeated last step with Premiere Pro and AE
    I opened AE
    I tried importing the presets through AME>import>presets... That did not work. I get this pop-up message:
    restarted my computer
    tried again to import AME without luck
    tried the solution of this discussion Re: Quicktime Export options are missing (only in AME) (post #8)
            since I noticed that mine was changed back after the reinstallation. No luck.
    restarted the computer again. No luck.
    Put back only the ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle into AME's package content
    tried to open AME without luck
    removed the Quicktimebundle once more to open AME (worked)
    opened PP to check if I could export in queue: AME does not open by itself, still.
    I tried opening a prores file (end as .mov) that I encoded at university (not on my provate computer) – did not worl
    I checked if I could open a mov-file which was not encoded to prores: that worked.
    I looked into Martin Thoburn's method again to try one more time in AME to find the settings "Quicktime". No luck.
    I also have a third problem that may be linked to this, since it also has to do with PP and AE:
    Re: Can anyone help? "DynamicLink" not available attempting to open Mov in Photoshop CS6
    My post there is #22.
    But now that I absolutely made sure that I do have the prores codecs,
    I strongly suspect that it may also be a problem, which is discussed here:
    Are the ProRes codec and .MOV file no longer supported?
    ...namely, that the codecs are just not visible. Unfortunately, this discussion is not resolved either.
    HarleyTDavis's post #30 of this discussion Are the ProRes codec and .MOV file no longer supported?
    suggests something complicated (because I yet would need another Adobe version), which I may try at some point.
    Alright. That is all the effort that I can afford in time for this. I am too exhausted to go on so I'll do a workaround in FCP
    – now that I got it – and will ask someone else to encode my outcome to a prores-Version.
    If I feel like it – and yeah, I'd rather work with the Adobe Suite CS6 mostly – I'll come back to this discussion after a having clean wiped my computer and reinstalled everything.
    Thanks to both of you for looking into this with me. I'm positive this can be solved – just not now.
