Smallest Video Size Possible in Adobe Media Encoder

Hello,
I have a lot of realmedia audio files that I need to convert to mp4 so that I can put them into InDesign. The reason I want them as mp4 and not mp3 is because I need the seek controls along with the normal play, stop, etc, I need to be able to move forward and backward through the audio as I like, using the seek function is a big deal in this project, and I don't think that is possible if I just place an audio mp3 file into InDesign? If it is, that would be ideal, so please let me know.
Anyway, assuming that it isn't, I'm able to convert the rm files to mp4 ok, but they don't work in InDesign until I run them through Adobe Media Encoder, my question is: there are no video scenes to this 'video' it's just a black screen with the audio playing, what settings do I choose in Adobe Media Encoder to make the video file size as small as humanly possible since all I need is the audio in that video format?
I don't know the first thing about AME so would be grateful for your input as to which exact settings I need to change.

Ok so that didn't work because I needed the video but because of your answer I had to go searching to find where the option to export video was and as a result was able to find all those options that I never saw before, I've managed to get it to be quite a small file size now by messing around with the settings. Thanks.

All kind of help is appreciated since I already spent more than a day trying to get this to work.

Even Main Profile, Level 3.1 (compressed with AME CS5) works in the real thing when embedding according to my "reports".
Gaaaah, what a waste of time relying on a not-so-reliable simulator!

My YouTube video looks blurry using Adobe Media Encoder

Im trying to upload a video to YouTube but the video always turns out blurry and pixilated regardless of what settings I use in my Adobe Media Encoder. I shot the video on a Sony 1080i HD camcorder, I know YouTube reduces the quality but I expect my images (ie peoples faces) should still be clear enough to see but that hasnt been the case. I went to the following site for guidance but I still cant get it right.
http://www.squidoo.com/youtuberight
Here are my settings that I thought would make my video look great on YouTube. What am I doing wrong?

I heard sometime ago that YouTube converts everything uploaded to
Flash or FLV format. I have not used the iPod format for this purpose in CS3 but Rick has obviously found that it works well, however, I would recommend using Adobe Media Encoder to FLV and set it to 320X240 with no more than 1MB/sec bit rate to maximize quality and minimize file size since it's not going to be larger than that on Youtube.
The FLV raw file will be ecoded using VP6 or Sorenson's older version courtesy of PPro CS3 unfortunatley, but I feel the best codec to use is 264. Why PPro, especially CS3, does not offer this codec is unkown. That could be a reason why Rick's videos look good and that he may have shot them in HD. But then again, HD to 320X240 would seem to be self defeating. iPod format is indeed, believe it or not, 720X480. If you have published anything to the iTunes store, this is a required format which is not optional as it is with Youtube.

Adobe Media Encoder: introducing stairs (edge artifacts)

Adobe Media Encoder: Is it fundamentally flawed?
When exporting Flash content to video, I noticed that Adobe Media Encoder introduces artifacts around edges that have a sharp contrast. The problem does not seem to be affected by bitrate or other settings and if I frameserve the video from Premiere out to a command line encoder, the problem does not occur, which leads me to believe that there is a big problem within Adobe Media Encoder. Most users may not notice/experience the problem if they are dealing with live action footage, but if your project contains animation (esp. Flash animation), it is a HUGE issue, if you are trying to maintain picture quality.
(Note: I've tried exporting on 3 separate hardware setups and I've even tried reverting to CS2 -> the problem exists in all of my tests)
Can someone else confirm the problem? (The problem is clearly there when exporting to MPEG2, Windows Media)
How to clearly recreate the problem
In Adobe Flash
Create a Flash project: 1280 x 720, 24fps, Stage Color: White
Create two symbols: - a red circle with a thin hairline black stroke
- a larger blue circle with a thicker black stroke
Create 2 layers on the timeline, place an instance of each symbol on the timeline on separate layers and create a motion tween for each symbol so that they move both horizontally and vertically across the screen.
Make the animation last at least 3-4 seconds and make sure the circles are not moving too fast.
Set opposite easing values for each circle (one with 100, the other with -100)
Export Movie... Bitmap Sequence...24 bit color, match screen.
In Premiere, create a new project:
Custom Settings:
Editing Mode: Desktop
Timebase: 24.00 frames/second
Frame Size: 1280 x720
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square (1.0)
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
Display Format 24 fps Timecode
Import the bitmap sequence. Select the first file in the sequence and check Numbered Stills.
Place the Flash footage into a sequence.
Export...Adobe Media Encoder.
Try the following preset settings:
- MPEG2, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
- Windows Media, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
- Quicktime, HDTV 720p 24

Yeah, mp4 in HTML5 browsers is h.264 encoded - h.264 is a subset of MPEG-4 standard. More info here:
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For ease of use in AME, if you look at the right side of the UI in the presets, the Web Video > YouTube presets are the ones that will encode to h.264 with the mp4 extension.

Adobe media encoder disabled in photoshop

Hi,
I am creating a .mp4 video using photoshop cc.
When I go to export > render to video , the program does not let me choose any video format.
The adobe media encoder option appears grayed out.
Can anyone tell me why is this happening?
I am using a Windows 7, 32 bit machine.
Thanks!

Hi,
Unfortunately, it seems some of the video functions don't work on an 32 bit windows system with photoshop cc.
You have photoshop cc or photoshop cc 2014?
I know that was the case with photoshop cc, but not sure about photoshop cc 2014.

i would like to be sure that i'm setting an mp4 h264 video with the CABAC option.

i know that i have to put the profile at Main, and i did! somebody can tell me where i can set or verify that CABAC option in On?

AME only uses the CABAC option for h.264 so there is no setting to set.

Adobe Media Encoder - stretching video possible?

This is a question about CS4 Flash Media Encoder(not Live Encoder) but as I can't find a forum for it, I'm posting here.
Is it possible to stretch video? When selecting 'Resize Video' if the software believes the output proportions are different to the source proportions, it fills the space with black bars.
However the CS3 Video Encoder would stretch the video to the dimensions specified regardless of any variation in proportions.
Am I missing a setting, or has the video stretching feature been removed in the CS4 version?
I am using the most up-to-date version of the software at the time of writing (Adobe Media Encoder V4.1.0.107)

I just came across this same problem and cannot find any setting that seem to do what we need.
And yes, I'm sure we both are aware it is not a great idea to be stretching and squeezing, but sometimes you have to do it.
I would be interested to know if there is a way.
Just found this releated thread:

Sizes In Adobe Media Encoder...

I make a PAL movie in Premiere Pro CS3 with clips from my Panasonic GS500 camera. Export to Adobe Media Encoder CS3 and it gives an output frame size (for FLV) of 1024 x 576.
I open the same sequence in Premiere Pro CS4 and Export to Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and the frame size becomes 1050 x 576.
Why the two different width sizes? I have not done any resizing or cropping.
If I do resize the video by half, so that 576 becomes 288 (keeping the proportion link checked) the size becomes 512 x 288. 512 is not half of 1050.
Also, why is there no Deinterlace button, as there was on CS3. Do we assume that the video is being deinterlaced by default? Or, as some others have complained when exporting to DVD, is the exported video remaining interlaced? This might account for why I cannot get the same FLV picture quality, using exactly the same settings, as I did with CS3.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Spok.

HI Colin,
well, i used to be very happy with SorensonSqueeze, but for more than a year now, I'm just using Compressor (indeed from FCStudio).
It's VERY handy and lets you manage your settings in a way AME can't even think of in version 8... I mean nothing extraordinary, just the way it should, with possibility to move, edit, group, duplicate, rename, describe your settings...
And as for flv encoding (at the time of CS3, which I still have on my desktop machine) by installing the Suite, it would also install the codec for Compressor.. Excellent! Which CS4 doesn't do anymore... which forces us to use this terrible AME.. That's the scandale to my humble opinion!
But ok, via Compressor, you get the settings for flv... with the deinterlace box as on the attached image. Indeed with VP6 encoder.
And no, me neither, i'm not torn up, but it would have been nice Adobe gave us the info!
Compressor does also a great job in slomo. That's quite new but impressive. And Compressor is MUCH faster than AME.. AME takes ages! For a good result, I agree.
voila...

Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

Hi.
I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character. Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps. I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project. (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context. It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps? I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
Thanks

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels). I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio. i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think). But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
Thanks

Long time for Adobe Media Encoder to encode 3 minute video

I created a Premiere Pro project with a dynamic link to Adobe After effects (both CS4 versions).
Upon finishing this PremPro project which is a 3 minute song with 3d animation playing in the background, I chose Export Media.
Since first try was taking a long time (15 minutes and little progress), I removed the 3 transitions I had in my Premiere Pro Project, reduced the audio from 128 to 64 bit, decreased the bit rate to its lowerst 56 kbps instead of the default which is something like 1000-2000 kbps I believe (Please let me know default value so I can reset it ) and reduced video size from 960 x 620 to 380 x 244. I also shut all of my programs that could be chewing up significant memory.
I'm just looking for a rough feel of how things will look so only wanted to start with a 'draft quality' render of my flv - but the Adobe Media Encoder is still saying it will take 1 and a half hours, and this is on a 64 bit, Win 7 system with lots of RAM (24GB) and plenty of hard drive space.
The actual After Effects compositions are fairly complex, with numerous 3d animations superimposed on one another, but I wasn't sure if this sluggishness suggested something was wrong that I need to correct to get quicker performance, or if it's simply a reflection of a complicated scene, and that's how long things will take even at those very minimal settings.
Thanks for any suggestions.

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.

Adobe media encoder cs4 extremely slow (5 hours for 8 minute video)

I know you have seen slowencoder issues before, but I have tried everything I can to fix this and need help.
Lets start with basic info:
8 minute vieo takes over 5 hours to generate final video.
Observations: 3 processes are running most of the time, with over 2GB memory left over and available, I/O is low, CPU is at 90 to 100 percent for hours during encode.
PProHeadless.exe 48-50%
Adobe Media Encoder.exe 30-40%
ImporterProcessServer.exe can be from 30-50% CPU but not constant.
I live in San Jose, and am willng to take this laptop to your Office to debug it personally. (FYI)
CS4: 4.2.1 with all updates applied
ALL Encoder OUTPUT is set to a 128GB Solid State Drive drive so there are very low delays on I/O: SAMSUNG MMCRE28G8MXP-0VB.
This setting is in the general disk setting, media cache files, etc. All I/O is to this drive, except the project file which for some reason gets copied to temp on c drive... (no I/O there however)

Harm:
Cost: I got 2 of the Kingston 128GB SSD V100 from Costco at around 165 each (after rebate). They are on sale, and there is a 40 rebate each drive (up to 2) rebate.
Yes you are right, I did not expect improvements for Premiere pro, but I installed because I use this configuration on other systems for 1 year... and here are the results...
ALL of the data on this sytem is backed up on my 8TB server. I can loose anything here and get it back. I see the OS as just another replaceable disk.
I used the system motherboard hardware Raid 0 for C: AND... I put 3 of the 1TB drives on the motherboard hardware raid as a data disk. Data disk is ALL scratch disk, for the encoded files and cache. Source files are on the other software striped drive. Of course I loaded a fresh install and moved to Windows 7 64bit...
Overall observations:
     As you predicted encode times did not improve much, It was 15 minutes vs 17 minutes at 2.66 clock. I am unimpressed with the Intel Motherboard Raid 0. I saw the SSD was blazingly fast, but I think moving these to a RAID controll they will go faster. Each SSD drive in 200+MB/S rated.
What I do see is dramatic improvements in load times of the OS and ANY program you run. The pagefile was moved back to this raid 0 drive after benchmarks. RUNNING ANY application (adobe, microsoft, ALL are blazingly fast to load).
Example: Premiere pro CS5 from click on launch to CS5 prompting for a project name was 5.5 seconds... I would not take this out of the system for any money saved. It is amazing. Almost as good as the nvidia quadro FX 4000 Display card and the CS5.
My NEXT investment IS the RAID controller, and 6 of the Hitachi deskstar 3TB 6GPS Sata III drives to replace all my current drives. Next month or so for that.
I want components that I can keep in the system when I do replace the motherboard and CPU. I will tune this system as I have funds, and ask for help when this system no longer is viable and replace the motherboard. I will ask for the fastest motherboard and CPU combo that you can buy, and keep my 730X(treme) case and add a water cooler. As drives add 1TB a year in size, they seem to meet myneeds and I replace the old every 2 years to get the space I need.
As always your comments are spot on and I appreciate your reviews.

After Effects + Adobe Media Encoder + Flash = Most Random File Sizes Ever

Asking this question in this AE forum because I think more would have knowledge on the topic here than the Flash Forum.
I've heard that video compression is more of an art than a science... Could someone provide me some insight on the following?
-Created a 12 second, 30 FPS, 300x250 banner animation inside of After Effects
-Exported for FLV/Flash to be placed inside of a 300x250 .FLA
-Comps rendered directly from Adobe Media Encoder standalone instead of Render Queue in AE (for 2 pass .FLV's, and heard from various that .FLV's from render queue are not the prettiest at times).
I've always been under the impression that I would get smaller file sizes with SWF's externally linking to an FLV. If I do it this way, I end up with:
41 KB .SWF + 668 KB .FLV = 709 KB
However, if I EMBED the same 668 KB .FLV to the FLA's timeline (not using the flvPlayback component) I end up with a 381 KB file size!
I am just confused on the logic here, could someone explain the reasons for this? I always thought my file size would be bigger if it was embedded to the timeline.

Actually I think it's the tons of extra AS code that make linked players fatter. Never could make sense of the why and how myself, but you can find enough alternate free players/ skins (nonverblaster for instance, which I use) that are a lot leaner.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 will not convert .mov video

Hello,
I have Adobe Media Encoder CS4 installed on my computer and I'm trying to convert a .mov video into a format that can be edited on windows movie maker and when I convert the video it converts the audio just fine, but there is only a black screen. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?
Thanks in advance.
