Timeline Won't Export Using Matrox or Adobe Media Encoder

Ok, this is a really strange problem. I made a sequence, then once I was finished editing I made a second sequence and dragged the first into it so I could easily add broadcast safe to all of my video.
The problem was that when I went to export that second sequence nothing would happen. We have a Matrox RT.X2 card and it give me the option for either Matrox Media Encoder or Adobe Media Encoder. Neither would export. When I would click the OK button nothing would happen, the options would just sit there. So, for the heck of it I went back to the original sequence, tried it, and it worked.
So then I was thinking that there was a problem because I had nested sequences (maybe Adobe doesn't do well with that). I made a 3rd sequence, copied and pasted the audio and video from the 2nd and tried again. This time it worked. I don't know what's going on with that second sequence, but this got really frustrating.
Does anyone know what would cause a sequence to suddenly stop being able to be exported?

This is a first for me. But it sounds like you got things working again.

Can I use Flex with Adobe Media Encoder to automate encoding?

I am thinking about learning Flex assuming I can do the following.
Can I use Flex to automate the process of converting/encoding videos from many formats to FLV format?
If so, what encoder do I use for this process? Flash media encoder?
Can Flash Media Encoder interface with Flex (PHP/XML/ActionScript) to automatically with presets configuered convert/encode videos that have been uploaded and placed into a folder into FLV format?
Thanks.

Guys,
I have developed a simple script ( batch file *.bat)) that will check if encoding is still being done ( every 60+ secs ) and if the process is over, it will shutdown the PC. I tried to keep the code very very simple so that others can improve it.
For now , i have tested this on Windows 7 SP1 - 64 bits and it wokrs well.
Here is the code, copy and paste it into notepad - i named it AutoPowerOff-AdobeMediaEnCoder.bat
..........copy code below ..........
@echo off
echo.
date /t
time /t
echo.
:StartMonitoring
echo.
echo.

echo Start monitoring Adobe Media Encoding Process
echo Check every 60 secs via KeepMonitoring

If some of you can check it out on other platforms and report back, i can maintain this thread.

Set CABAC option exporting mp4 h264 with Adobe Media Encoder cc2014

hello everyone!
i would like to be sure that i'm setting an mp4 h264 video with the CABAC option.
in the video settings of the Adobe Media Encoder cc2014 i didn't find this 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?
thank you!
pier

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

Adobe Media Encoder will not allow me to export settings

I am trying to export the settings from Adobe Media Encoder 6 so a co-worker can use them to encode videos with the same settings I have. However, when I click on edit, export settings is greyed out. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? If there is another way to pass on my settings I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry, found it,
Didn't realise I could scroll down to find more options in
the Encoder Window

Can't export (queue) out of ppro into adobe media encoder after update

i just updated everything (cuda, nvidia, os 10.8.2, 6.0.3) and now i can't export from ppro into adobe media encoder. as soon as i export out with any preset across multiple projects and hit play, i get the sheep sound almost immediately. before this gets put in the AME discussion queue consider that AME works fine either when importing an AE composition etc. so it seems to be premiere related. thanks!

Actually I'd recommend uinstalling all the adobe software on your PC if possible. Because truthfully if you have a decently fast internet connection or you have the installer for the suite on your system it really doesn't take that long to do a complete install. Plus when you do a complete install it's much more likely to fix the issue plus then you can use the Adobe CS cleaner tool which makes your odds for success much higher so that is what I'd recommend. If you follow the instructions from this link everything will go smoothly.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
I know in the past I have fallen into the trap of troubleshooting something for a few days, only to end up uninstalling then using the adobe CS cleaner tool, then reinstalling and then BAM everything was now fixed lol...
Then I always ended up feeling silly for spending so much time on it instead of just doing a fresh install. Although I had no way of knowing that to begin with unfortunately. Hindsight is 20/20 most of the time.
However you can technically try uninstalling Premiere by itself if you want to try that first. If my memory serves me correctly when you uninstall Premiere it will uninstall Encore and AME as well.

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.

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!

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?

TV Standard: NTSC
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 1 Pass
Target Bitrate (Mbps): 0.344
Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 0.64

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 Unexpectedly Quits

Hello,
I was trying to export a flv file from CS4 today and I have been receiving an error Adobe has detected that the application adobe media encoder CS4 has Unexpectedly quit. I?m using CS4 4.1 and the matrox 4.1 beta build.
Here are our settings:
This was originally a CS3 project now opened in CS4. The source footage is 720p, 29.97fps, m2t files
I was exporting them with the adobe media encoder
Flv F4v
Using no filters
Format Flv
Video
On2 VP6 Codec
Not encoding the alpha channel
Resize to 640X360 (half size)
Frame rate: same as source
CBR one pass 500kbps
Set key frame 150
Undershoot target 90% (this is new to me I left it at the default but what does this mean?)
And Simple Profile is not checked (This is new to me I left it at the default but what does this mean?)
Quality: high
Audio
Stereo 64kbps
I tried making a wav file and a F4V and neither of those caused Adobe Media encoder to shut down. But as soon as I try making a flv using these settings the encoder opens then comes up with this error. I would think it has something to do with my settings maybe I need to change something. What should I do and what is a F4V file??
Thanks

Updates. This is becoming an emergency, I can't seem to export anything from any projects!
Has anyone out there updated their adobe media encoders? Whenever I go to file export I get a dialogue that says there is a update available. My editing system has not been connected to the internet so I have not tried updating yet.
We are using the Adobe 4.1 and Matrox utils 4.1beta.
we are using a Matrox Axio LE system.
In other tests I tried exporting from a 720p 59.94 project using m2ts and a 720x486 29.97fps SD project where the source file was a uncompressed AVI but both were unsuccessful.
I can however open up the adobe media encoder if I chose F4V upon export. When I choose FLV the encoder opens then quits. With F4V the encoder actually opens but when I select start queue the encoder just sits there and does nothing.
I have also just tried another test exporting from 720p 59.94pfs 1.0 PAR. to M2V which didn't work.
The encoder actually opens this time but when I start encoding the encoder just sits there. I can see that it starts to create a file in the specified destination but never really gets going.
I was using these settings: export Audio and Video, no multiplexing,
720x480 Quality 5 (all the way up, Progressive frames,
4:3
Audio 16bit 48khz,
no filters
M frames 3

Where is a link to download Adobe Media Encoder CC?

I just registered for the Creative Cloud trial and would like to download the Media Encoder. If that isn't included in the trial, where may I subscribe to it or purchase it?

Hi So,
Premiere Pro and other applications employ Adobe Media Encoder, a standalone encoding application. When you specify export settings in the Export Settings dialog box and click Export, Premiere Pro sends the export request to the Adobe Media Encoder.
For more info please refer to http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/workflow-overview-exporting.html#adobe_media_enc oder

On the principle that misery loves company, I'll add my report here. I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2. Once a week or so, the Adobe updater interrupts me to try to install Adobe Media Encoder CS 4.2.0. Inevitably, it reports:
Installation Incomplete
Adobe Media Encoder CS 4.2.0 failed to install.
I doubt I make much use of said encoder, but what do I know. I'm primarily an InDesign user with a small amount of Photoshop work. I guess I'll just continue ignoring this message.

What has happend to Adobe Media Encoder in CS4?

I have been making short (5min to 10min) movies for the web for several years. I have used Premiere Pro CS3 and exported to FLV using the CS3 Adobe Media Encoder. The results have been excellent using 800kb/s at 25fps.
I then upgraded to Premiere Pro CS4 but cannot get anywhere near the same quality out of the new Adobe Media Encoder. I have tried many settings, including 2-pass and/or VBR as well as Single Pass CBR. What ever I try the resulting video quality is poorer than from CS3.
For the moment I am sticking with CS3 until I can find a solution. I hope I have not wasted my money on the upgrade.
Can anyone help?
Spok.

I have found in my testing that the Flash encoding options and the results are far superior to anything I ever got out of previous versions of this option in PPro CS3 and v2.0.
That being said, I always use Sorenson Squeeze. Wish Adobe could match the quality I get in Sorenson. It's closer than before, but the file sizes are still much bigger in AME and the quality is noticeably lower than what Squeeze can deliver.

Adobe media encoder not available in Photoshop CC - attempting to render animation.

I just downloaded CC about a week ago. I'm running it on a 32 bit Windows 8 PC. I've been trying to export video but the adobe media encoder is gray and unavailable. I can't find any support on this issue. I purchased the photography plan as all I needed was Photoshop. Anyone know what to do? When I try downloading the media encoder from the adobe website, nothing happens.

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

Is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder

is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder? We have many camera clips needing luts applied then wrapped to ProRes422 for editing. right now we are using after effects, rendering out then wrapping in Encoder, but this workflow is quite time consuming.We've tried rendering proRes out of AE but the boss isn't happy with the results without also going through Encoder.

No, there is not a way to apply color changes (e.g., using LUTs) in Adobe Media Encoder. Do this in After Effects, but just add your After Effects compositions directly to the Adobe Media Encoder encoding queue (e.g., by choosing File > Add After Effects Composition in the AME UI).
