UI Enhancement Request: Media Encoder CS4

Assumption:
1. I am sure some or all of what I  am about to list is already in the works, but I do not know that.
2. This list is limited to UI and not functional elements.
3. I have not found this type of enhancement request while searching the forum. (Didn't search really hard tho)
Request:
1. Skip individual element. (Functionality but needed for UI enhancement. Once tagged, it skips encoding in queue)
2. Category/Grouping:
--- As with a lot of lists, it is commonly found grouping of items are provided.
--- Tab is a nice way to provide the functionality, like IE8, firefox and so on. (Default tab: "ALL", then create as needed)
--- Drag/drop support. Drag item to tab name and it should change item to that group.
--- Group functionality: Skip all within group, resume
--- Property: group/category: destination directory (designate where encoded files go), color, encoding option, check box "add as skipped/paused"
--- Add New: has option to choose group where group property brings necessary property.
3. Estimated time for completion: when item is added to the queue. (Functionality but needed for UI enhancement.)
4. Ordering option: move-up, move-down, sort by
That's all for now.

1. You can do that now.  Edit>Skip Selection.
4. You can do that now.  Try drag-and-drop.
For the others, you should do like Hunt suggested and file a feature request.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 runtime error

    I am wondering why I am getting a runtime error while
    attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4...As soon as I launch
    Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it crashes I have installed and
    reinstalled Flash a couple time, to see if this corrects the
    problem, which it doesn't, and just last week it was working
    fine...Does anybody have a ideal what is going on?

    Don't know if this helps anyone else, bt the runtime errors i have been getting occur when I try to build and burn a blu-ray file. And they happen intermittently. In fact, on this project, I had burned several test blu-rays without difficulty. When I made one minor change on the penultimate version, and tried to burn again, the system crashed with a run time error. Then it crashed 9 more times over the course of the week.
    Finally in frustration, I created an interim ISO file in Encore- ie in the build workstream, i selected burn an image file rather than burning a blu-ray disk. After this intermediate step completed, i then did a separate burn in encore but burned from the image file. No snags.
    Not sure why but this program has trouble doing a sequence of activities. As it is, I already render and save the file before burning. Now I have another interim step to create an image file before burning.
    In my next hardware change, I am going to switch to make Mac and Apple software. Enough of MS Windows and Adobe, the GM and Chrysler of the software industry. Hopefully what my friends tell me is true; that Apple stuff actually works.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Encoding Error

    I got an error when Adobe Media Encoder CS4 encoding which is the crash of ImporterProcessServer. It crashes the halfway of the encoding process. I restarted my comp and tried several times before but the results still the same. Sometimes ImporterProcessServer did not crash but the encoder failed compiling without any error.
    Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHZ
    RAM: 2GB
    OS: Win7 32bit
    Graphic: Nvidia 8600 GeForce 512 mb

    First thing to check is what is on the Timeline at about the 50% point. Do you have an odd Asset there?
    Do you have a gap in the Video at about that point?
    Then, do you have adequate defragmented free space on the destination HDD?
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 error

    Hi,
    I've just purchased Flash CS4 and tried the "Adobe Media Encoder CS4" that comes with it.
    When attempting to launch it, I get this (see attachement) error and the program doesn't launch.
    Anyone aware of the cause of this error ? How I could get it resolved etc..
    Thanks in advance.

    Any update on this?
    I get WinFile.cpp-754 on CS4 and WinFile.cpp-785 on CS5 trying to encode the same AVI file.
    I'm trying to load a 59.94 fps AVI file into PremierPro CS4 and need to convert it to something else (correct?)

    Hi there, I have a trial version of elearning suite 2.5 and I have the error "Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS4. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not activated.

  • Media encoder CS4 can't do what Flash Encoder CS3 does????

    Quad 2.66 Xeon MacPro / OS 10.5.8 / CS4 all updates applied. / 24GB RAM
    Adobe Media Encoder CS4 won't import .wmv videos.
    Flash CS3 Media Encoder does it just fine.
    What's the deal? Why remove the support?
    I do have Flip4Mac installed as well as Perian. Any chance these items allow the CS3 encoder to work, but not the CS4?

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 doesn't encode audio

    I'm having trouble getting the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to
    work properly. I have tried multiple files of different lengths but
    end up with the same output. Nice video encoding, but the audio
    starts and then cuts out after a couple of seconds. The longer the
    video, the shorter the audio works. The logs don't report any
    issues. Anybody have any ideas?

    I have the same problem just trying to crop an FLV. (Encoding from FLV to FLV on Snow Leopard).
    The audio just dies about 5 seconds in (the clip is 28 seconds long).
    Sucks. I wish I could find the original .mov
    I wish I wasn't forced to recompress the audio.
    I've tried various settings all night - most settings result in no audio whatsoever.
    Also, Media Encoder alters the mod date of my original file. Why?
    I'm really frustrated with this software.

  • Media Encoder CS4 won't launch

    Hello,
    I am trying to use Media Encoder CS4 but it will not launch. It seems to get hung up on "ImporterQT.bundle".
    I am on a Mac G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Power PC running OSX 10.5.7
    Please help! I'm on a really tight deadline.
    Thanks!

    ImporterQT.bundle may be missing or corrupt
    uninstall Media Encoder using the package in \Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers
    then reinstall.

  • Media Encoder CS4 won't update - Mac

    I have CS4 and Adobe media encoder 4.1.0 will not update,
    I have downloaded it via software update and then it installs and after a check of software update it asks me to update exactly what I just updated.
    Does anyone know how I can sort this issue out?

    Hi Jagan,
    Thanks for the response.
    After installing the CS4 Design Suite Premium, I moved all the apps/folders to a newly-created "Adobe" folder inside my applications folder. I always ran the Updater to check and download the updates. I didn't pay attention to the success of the updates, since they always ended with a dialog box that said "Finished". It's only when I noticed that it was downloading the Media Encoder update over and over again, that I got suspicious. When I looked in my Applications folder, The "Apple" folder I created was still there, but there was also a new "Media Encoder CS4" folder, which was not there before.
    I deleted this new "Media Encoder CS4" folder and ran Updater again. Updater then downloaded the new version and installed it. Unfortunately, the Media Encoder CS4 in my "Apple" folder was not updated to the new version, but that duplicate Media Encoder CS4 folder was back
    I browsed through the other messages here about update problems, and I decided to re-install the Media Encoder CS4. I trashed the duplicate folder and put in the DVD. In order to re-install the Media Encoder, I had to also re-install Flash CS4. I did so, then ran the Updater again (I did not change the location of any of the re-installed programs prior to the update). Lo and behold, Media Encoder was updated correctly! I continued the remaining updates to get my software back to the current versions. I thought I was home-free, but unfortunately I wasn't
    Although Media Encoder was updated correctly, now Drive Manager and Acrobat Reader are not getting updated. The update installer says that the updates completed successfully, but when I run the Updater again, it identifies those same 2 programs as needing updates.
    I downloaded the updates manually, but installing them did not update the programs.
    If you have any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!

  • F4v encoded with Adobe media encoder CS4 (longer than 71 minutes)

    Hi I don't know if this is the correct place for this post. So apologies me if this is the wrong place.
    Encoding with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (4.2.0.006 and 4.0 too)
    Source: MOV (DVPAL) longer than 71 minutes
    Dest: F4V (H.264)
    Result: freezed frames and only plays audio at 01:11. Media Player goes crazy and starts showing some diferent parts freeze frames.
    In Quicktime crashes, in VLC the same of MediaPlayer. Sometimes the audio starts to downsampling and sounds like the pitch goes down.
    Totally agree with this other post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/580391
    (extract)
    I recentlly encoded afew F4V using Adobe Media Encoder Cs4.  MOst of them are working properly but I don't know why, all of my video that are longer than 71 minutes seems to have trouble playing back.  They all Freeze when they reach 71 minutes or if I navigate pass this point.
    thanks and help us please!
    Kik

    Thanks for the interest.
    I'll try to explain all details:
    MacPro 1.1 (mid 2006) under Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Darwin 8.11.1 kernel)
    System files: journaled HFS+ and a unix based NAS (under samba connection)
    I have all material on the NAS and also I make the transcoding over it. Is a simple mov containing DV PAL WIDE interlaced 25fps with stereo audio. typical settings with nothing out of DV PAL standard.
    The version of MediaEncoder CS4: 4.2.0.006 (it happens with older versions too)
    The settings of MediaEncoder are:
    Audio: AAC stereo 44,1 kHz
    Video: F4V. MainConcept H.264, fps like source, profile high, level 4,1. CBR compression.
    The problem only appears with videos longer than 71 minuts. At 01:11 starts with crazy problems. It seems like the player have some read or problems.
    Tell me if you need some other kind of information.

  • Media Encoder CS4 No Error No File (Says It's Created, but It Isn't)

    I have tried repeatedly today to encode an QuickTime container to P2 format, and while Adobe Media Encoder CS4 appears to load correctly, do the conversion, and confirm the file creation, I can not find the file that was supposed to be created.
    There is no error message.  Below is the transcript of the log from one attempt:

    Only, no where on my computer is there the file “0001DI_1.MXF”.  Not only have I looked in the Desktop folder where it is supposed to be.  I have searched both hard drives on my computer for that file.  This has happened repeatedly with variations of the output file name in the last hour or so.
    I have rebooted the machine.  I have run error-checking on the hard drive. Even though only log into my with my own account and no one else uses it, I have even created a text file with the same name, just in case the file that was created was there but hidden. I had no problem creating the text file in the directory where the output from Media Encoder is supposed to be.
    My suite was fully patched when this was run (except I did install an upgrade to Adobe Reader after this problem occurred when I checked to make sure my software was current).
    I used Media Encoder earlier in the day to create a P2 MXF file from the same source file earlier in the day, and have used it to create other output formats.
    I am working on a Windows XP Professional machine.
    Any ideas?

    Quick postscript that may be relevant...
    I converted the same file I’m having trouble with to WMV format. It worked fine, but the output file name I wanted to give it was long (more than 8 letters not counting the extension). The name of the file created by Media Encoder was only the first 8 letters plus the extension.
    I had no problem manually renaming the file it’s full name (over 20 letters long). It seems Media Encoder couldn’t do that.
    That still begs the question why it didn’t work when I tried to create an MXF file only one letter long. Here is the section of log where I tried to do that. As before, it says the file was created.  I couldn’t find it.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Causing Jerky Playback with Speed Changes

    Here is an Matrox AVI that was captured in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Watching the edited clip with a speed change of 600% looked fine when played in Premiere Pro CS4.

  • Media Encoder CS4 hangs when opening large XDCAM HD MXF files

    I am having a problem with Media Encoder CS4 hanging consistently when importing large (18GB) XDCAM HD (25mbps, MPE-2 HD) MXF files.  Smaller files are not a problem.  This is on a soupped up system, HP XW8600 Workstation / Windows Vista Pro.  The same files work fine in After Effect CS4.
    Any idea what could cause this?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I did.  Thanks for the tip though.

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 for MTS files

    Hey everyone, I did some searching on this topic to no avail so here I am.
    Anyway, I recently got an HD camcorder that records in 1080i AVCHD.
    I have no problems getting the MTS files off of my camera but as I'm sure you can imagine, working with those files is a whole other issue.
    I've found that Adobe Media Encoder CS4 works great in encoding these files to QuickTime format (.mov) but the problem is that the resulting file size is actually bigger than the original MTS file which is unacceptable, especially considering I'm encoding the files from 1920x1080 down to 1280x720.
    Does anyone have any experience using AME CS4 to convert MTS files to a more workable 720p format for uploading to YouTube?
    I've tried a number of different custom settings to no avail (where you see an "or" is where I've tried different options):
    Format: QuickTime
    Video Codec: MPEG4-Video or H.264
    Quality: 100
    Width: 1280
    Height: 720
    Frame Rate: 29.97 or 23.976
    Field Type: Lower First or Upper First or Progressive
    Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    I won't list the audio options because I don't think that has any bearing on my problem.
    Any ideas as to why the encoded file sizes are actually larger than the MTS file sizes?  Maybe AME CS4 is not what I should be using for this task?
    Thanks for your help,
    Tom

    I figured it out.
    If you select H.264 as the format you can then select YouTube Widescreen HD for the preset.
    This will set everything up to convert your MTS file to 720p and reduce the file size by around 30% with little quality degradation in my experience so far.
    The only problem I encountered was the video was kind of choppy when the camera panned but that was remedied by upping the frame rate from 24 to 29.97.
    Hope this helps someone and if anyone has any suggestions to improve efficiency or reduce file size post it in here.
