Transcode .mov files to DNxHD using Media Encoder 6

I want to transcode .mov files (H.264 shot on Canon 5D Mark III) to DNxHD 175 for editing in Avid. I know that later versions of Media Encoder allow you to transcode to DNx. Is there a way to download the DNX codec to Media Encoder.
Is there a way to upgrade to latest version of Media Encoder without buying whole Creative Cloud monthly option?  I bought one of large Adobe software packages before they switched to Creative Cloud. I shouldn't have to pay for expensive monthly charge when I just paid hundred for software package.

See this forum post: Re: How do I install the DNxHD and Cineform codecs? (Missing from AME 6 )

No. All versions of AME are now on Creative Cloud.

Sorry if a Creative Cloud subscription won't work for you, but it's the only way to stay current with Adobe creative software.
Thanks,

  • I can transcode my AVCHD files to DNxHD in Media Encoder, but when I ingest through Prelude, Media Encoder Fails.

    I am instructing students working on longer form projects to transcode their AVCHD material to Quicktime using the DNxHD codec (which is installed, and then preset loaded into Media Encoder).
    I am doing this since it is the suggested workflow in this article:
    Audio and Video glitches | AVCHD footage
    It worked great last year in CS6, but this workflow is not working at all in CC2014.
    When I transcode directly through Media Encoder, the process works fine, but if I ingest using Prelude (where students choose which files to transcode, set destination, etc) the transcoding fails and we get an AME error. Not sure why this would be any different than transcoding right into Media Encoder...
    We are working on PCs running Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Hi Sally,
    Could you please post a screen shot of the AME error you are getting? And as Michael asked, could you also let us know which preset are you using?
    Thanks,

  • ProRes 422 MOV files offline in Adobe Media Encoder 2014 (but online in Premiere)

    The question is NOT about exporting PreRes files from a Windows PC, which is what I keep finding in my searches.
    My client gave me ProRes 422 MOV files. I imported them into Premiere Pro CC 2014. I could see and edit them fine. But when I export them via Adobe Media Encoder, they appear to be offline. BTW, other media sources exported fine, such as the PNGs and JPGs I cut to. (I don't think it matters, but I'm attempting to make h.462 mp4s, which I do all the time, and have done with ProRes sources before using CC 2014.)
    I tried exporting a short video clip (using same ProRes 422 source) from Premiere and it worked fine. Why not Adobe Media Encoder? I need to encode batches of videos with ProRes sources overnight, so exporting from Premiere is not a good option.
    I'm on a Win 7 PC and I have QT Pro and iTunes (which I think also installs codecs).

    Everything seems to be working fine now, though I don’t know why. I did update my iTunes (which I’d rather not even have installed on my PC because I never use it, but removing it seems to mess things up). I’ll also make sure to keep my QT updated. I thought it was because I upgraded to the paid version a couple months ago hoping to fix a similar problem, but again, it seemed to get fixed when I updated iTunes.
    Thanks for getting back to me!

  • Freezes when exporting .mov files in CS4 / Adobe Media Encoder

    For the past 7 hours now I have been trying every internet remedy for the following problem, and was wondering if any of you nice people could help:
    I just came back from a ski trip, and wanted to make an edit featuring my fiends. I recorded large parts of the trip on my new iPhone, both in 720p 120fps (120.15fps, h.264 1280*720) and the normal 1080p 30fps. iPhone files are in the .mov format. I also recorded some parts on a GoPro hero hd2 camera at both 720p 60fps and 1080p 30fps. GoPro files are in the MP4 format, and i've never had a probvlem with them.
    Now all imports fine into premiere pro, and although I had a few problems with freezing while editing initially, this was quickly solved by terminating all unused (non-adobe) processes in task manager.
    So I spent a good 4 hours making a 2.5 minute edit of our day, and wanted to export it.
    So I selected the sequence, and went file>export>media, selected all of the preferences i wanted for exporting, and sent it to the Adobe media encoder.
    The media encoder loads the files for a few seconds, and then starts the encoding process. And promptly freezes. It freezes at around 10-20 seconds (depending on export preferences) after starting to encode, and never restarts. i can then pause the encode, but cancelling it crashes adobe media encoder and subsequently also crashes Premiere Pro.
    I may be mistaken here, but I have a strong suspicion that It is quicktime that is causing all this.
    So I tried the following:
    - reinstalling, downgrading, updating, etc. Quicktime
    - renaming file extensions from .mov to .mp4
    - all sorts of export preferences, from image sequences to dvd to blueray and dv. (Image sequences, interestingly, occasionally export to about half a minute into the video(also depending on preferences), then freeze)
    - crossing my fingers
    - checking for gaps in video, found none
    - updating premiere pro and media encoder
    - throwing my mouse at the wall in frustration
    - making a new project with different settings and copying in the sequence
    - disabling "Include source xmp metadata"
    - making a new user account and trying it there
    Is there anything else I can try?
    Could I copy the project itself into a different program (e.g. iMovie or Windows Movie Maker) and export from there?
    Is there an alternative to Adobe media encoder?
    Need more information?
    Thanks for the help!
    Specs:
    Premiere version: 4.2.1
    Encoder version: 4.2.0.006
    Comp specs:
    16Gb ram
    quad core i5
    256 Gb solid state (system, program files are here)
    2TB HDD (video files, scratch disk are here)
    Nvidia gtx 660 graphics
    Windows 64 bit
    1 monitor

    I bought quicktime pro today to try this, but to no avail. it just freezes up again during export.
    I tried some other fixes on that page, like renaming files to .mpg extension, which worked once during an export of a test sequence (although everything was shifted and it cut off the export at the gopro footage).
    Is there any way I can export this project to another program to export it from there perhaps?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Is using Media Encoder faster than Transcoding with Encore?

    I'm fairly new to the Adobe video side of things, I just switched over from Apple but I am really liking what I'm working with. I've been using the Adobe Dynamic link to edit and auther DVDs. It's nice to not have to overload my computer with exported movies, but it seems to take a very long time to transcode within Encore. What seems to be much quicker is exporting the file out of Premiere and then using Media Encoder to transcode it using the highest quality DVD preset (and switched it to CBR 9 Mbps since my video is only 10 minutes long). I guess I'm curious if this is the method that others use or if most people use Dynamic link to author DVDs.
    Thanks,
    Joel

    The problems some users experience tend to involve Bluray and dynamic link.
    For DVDs, I use dynamic link and like it. I do set the preference (available with CS5 and above when using Transcode Now ) for Encore to transcode movie assets using AME, and I transcode with transcode now prior to doing a build.
    I do not have a CUDA card, but my understanding is that AME is using 64 bit.

  • Matching Delivery Specs using Media Encoder parameters

    Trying to match these Delivery Specs using Media Encoder and I can't seem to find any reference to some of the parameters.
    These are my Delivery Specs.
    The following are my settings in Media Encoder:
    My confusion is whether these settings will satisfy:
    50 Mbps (Long GOP) for Video
    422 Profile@HIgh Level
    2 channel Stereo muxed with Video
    MPEG-2 Transport Stream or MPEG-2 Program Stream
    Bitrate and Buffering Details set to VARIABLE (this is the default setting at present) Is this correct for CBR file generation or does it have to do with something else in the process?
    Thanks in advance for your helpful assistance.

    Hi Thomas,
    I am trying to make the changes you have suggested:
    Where do I effect the change to set Profile to "4:2:2"??   I am looking at the Advanced Settings Tab and do not see a descriptive parameter to change?
    Where do I change the muxing mode to Constant?  Looking on the Audio Tab I don't have that parameter either?
    VBV Buffer Size has been changed to 224.  I was able to find that parameter.
    Thank you so much for your guidance.

  • Can't export .MOV in AE cc render queue, But I can Export .MOV using Media Encoder cc

    I get “[file path and name].mov”. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464) when trying to export .mov using AE cc render queue but works fine in media Encoder cc. My problem is that i need to export animation with alpfa channel for a client and cannot find an alpha channel option in media encoder.
    Please help

    To export with an alpha channel in Adobe Media Encoder, choose "32 bit" from the Depth menu under the Video tab in the export settings. (That refers to 32 bits per pixel: 8 each for R, G, B, and A.) Of course, that option is only available if the codec can include an alpha channel, such as with the Animation codec in a QuickTime container.

  • Create navigation cue points in a FLV file using Media Encoder CC

    When I export a FLV file with Navigation cue points created in Media Encoder CC (by loading a cue points XML file), upon examining the file I see that the cue points are recorded as Event type cue points in the metadata at the top of the file.
    When I load the FLV file in Flash, I can receive cue point notifications using action script while the video is played, but cannot use seekToNavCuePoint to move the play head to one of the cue points, which accords them being Events rather than Navigation points.
    I am wondering if there are any other export settings which need to be particular values in order for navigation cue points to be created properly in the exported file?

    Lestyn, thanks for the verification.  Took me a frantic 4 hours to arrive at the same conclusion.  Do these people test their software???
    Maddening.

  • Maximum file size with Adobe Media Encoder?

    I seem to be having a problem when converting files in AME.
    I'm converting .m2v files into quicktimes files, using the DVCPRO HD 1080i50 codec. No sound is being exported with the audio.
    Dimensions are 1440 x 1080, frame rate, field type and aspect are locked at 25, Upper First and HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333) respectivly.
    I've encoded about eleven other files of the same type without fail, however this certain file is at 1.7gig compared, where as every other file I wanted to encode is under 1gig.
    I'm using an Asus N53SV with 16gig of ram, so I'm sure my laptop can handle whatever is thrown at it. I'm using a 64bit operating system on Windows 7 home premium Service pack one.
    Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2630QM CPU @ 2.00Ghz
    RAM Memory: 16gig
    Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce FT 540M
    Progam: Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 ver. 5.5.1.12
    The error log reads:
    - Source File: G:\Digital Postcard\To convert\Untitled-6.m2v
    - Output File: G:\Digital Postcard\To convert\Untitled-6_2.mov

    File size that I want to encode is 1.7gig
    I'm assuming either the file is corrupt or I don't have sufficient specs to handle the large file.
    Any help will be great,
    Thanks.

    There are no file size limits to the software beyond what would be imposed by the operating system itself and the file format of the drive.
    So...assuming you have enough drive space, something else is going on.

  • Encore says file is not mpeg - Media Encoder says it is! Help please.

    Hi,
    This is all about the "file is not a valid mpeg" error.
    I'm using Encore 5 to author a DVD, with elements produced in Premiere 4, After Effects 4 and Soundbooth 5.
    Video has gone through Media Encoder 4 and audio through Media Encoder 5.
    Video is m2v and audio is ac3. There are not other formats.
    Check Project gives no errors on anything.
    When it comes to authoring the DVD, 4.67 gb have been used leaving 24MB free disc space.
    The first few times I tried to author the DVD, after initially reporting no errors, it then wouldn't burn a disc because it said one of the timelines used audio files of different formats. It didn't, but I put them through Media Encoder again anyway, which seemd to solve that problem, but who knows.
    (In the DVD Transcode Status, in the Project window, most ac3 files say Don't Transcode, but the three smallest - less than 1MB - say Transcoded [then Automatic in DVD Transcoding Settings]. Don't know why it does that or if that has anything to do with the authoring problem.)
    Anyway, now, every time I click Build, it works for a while but then gives "file is not a valid mpeg" error and stops. Doesn't say which file. ALL the files are mpegII.
    It will take me days to re-render all the files. Is there any way to find out which is the problem file - it doesn't do anything useful like tell you - or any reason why it isn't recognizing an m2v file which I can do something about, please?
    This is driving me crazy. Any advice will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    I have never mixed different Bit-Rate materials, on the same Timeline, and especially as I usually do one Timeline for each Video Asset (edited to be a "scene," or Chapter). I cannot tell you.
    What happens if you create one Timeline for one Asset, and then another for the remaining one?
    Does that change anything?
    I had been thinking that you had an MPEG that was out of the DVD-spec., but that usually results in Encore needing to Transcode again, to bring the file into spec.
    Good luck, and I wish that I knew more about mixing Assets with differing Bit-Rates.

  • 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.

  • File Import Error - Adobe Media Encoder, help!

    I'm at a complete loss. AME worked very well for me for a long time and booting it up yesterday gave me a paralyzing error.
    Upon trying to import an MOV, MP4, and later a WMV, I received the following error:
    File Import Error
    The file C:\Users\tj\Desktop\New folder\SH_GS_PeekPlay_DEMO_720.mp4 could not be imported. Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions.
    I've tried everything I can think of:
    1. Moved the file off the server and onto my desktop.
    2. Double checked file permissions (all of which I have)
    3. Uninstalled AE and Premiere to try to get rid of Media Encoder.
    4. Searched for a way to uninstall AME so I could put a fresh install (can't find how to do this)
    5. Manually updated AME
    6. Reboot (multiple times between these steps)
    7. Contact customer support - no help thus far.
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CC and AME 7.0.1.58

    Tried that as well.
    To rule everything out, I had the files placed:
    1. On company internal server
    2. External Harddrive connected through Firewire
    3. Internal Hard Drive (with OS)
    4. Internal secondary Hard Drive (data only)
    5. On Desktop (technically 1st internal drive)
    I have since fixed this by uninstalling every single Adobe application (including Flash and Air) and redownloading and installing each.

  • Live text template render issue when using Media Encoder?

    I'm running into flash frames with Media Encoder exports of Premiere sequences using the live text templates.
    Unfortunately, AME doesn't flag it as an error, so the render completes without any issues in the render log and the only way to find it is to watch the rendered file.
    I have tried different combinations of having After Effects open or closed, with the live text template comp open or closed; I can't consistently reproduce the problem with any certainty and so am having trouble pinpointing the source.
    My only hypotheses so far are that:
    The glitches seem to be happening in the dynamic link between AME and PP, not AE and PP. The live text will pop back to the duplicated comp's text for one frame. Video playing simultaneously doesn't pop.
    In other words, the AE text template said: "name here". In PP it was edited to say "John Doe", then that comp was duplicated and edited to say "Bob Smith". Everything looks fine in PP. There are no keys on the source text in AE (I have noticed that if there are keys on the source text in AE, the text will pop back to the original AE text at that key in PP).
    When rendered out of AME, halfway through Bob Smith's title, it will read "John Doe" for a single frame, then pop back to being Bob.
    I've only had this happen so far with AME renders. The renders out of PP haven't given me any issues so far.
    It might happen more frequently on longer segments? If a title is up for 45 sec instead of 10 sec, it may be more likely to pop.
    The issue seems to occur more often in batch renders out of AME (happened to 3 of 5 files rendered in a batch, AME 2014.1) and/or with unrelated AE comps open (on a single render from AME 2014.2)
    Again, it doesn't happen every time or to the same title, or in the same spot. Files are being rendered to ProRes 422 HQ. Unchecked "Use Previews" in AME.
    Would be nice to get to the bottom of what's happening so I can recommend something to the editors when I hand off these live text templates to them.
    I realize that the live text is a new feature as of 2014.1, but haven't found anyone else talking about this. Would love if this was a very simple fix that I'm missing.
    I was able to reproduce the error on 2 different machines, with similar specs:
    Premiere CC 2014.1 and 2014.2
    Media Encoder CC 2014.1 and 2014.2
