Updating issues with Media Encoder for PC

Um I'm sorry if there was a post for this, but I couldn't find one as far as I know.
Okay I got my video all set to export from Premiere to the Encoder. I hear the sound and etc. After it gone through the encoder, the video comes out fine except it doesn't have sound yet it has sound in premiere.
I think the issue is that the Media encoder didn't update like premiere did, but when I tried to update it won't do it. I even manuallly downloaded the update files and try to install it that way, but it won't work. It doesn't even give me the option to do it. It says to quit the update for media encoder. I have 3 other programs that are doing the same thing too.
I don't know what to do. I don't think I can uninstall that program itself. Any suggestions? I can take screen shots of what happening if anyone needs me to.

Start reading the help file or manual, watch tutorials and get a basic edutation in NLE in general and CS4 in particular, if multiplexing is over your head currently. Multiplexing is one of the settings in AME.

Linear workflow issues with Media Encoder CC 2014

I'm using After Effects CC 2014 and doesn't seem to be the option anymore to export via AE to H264. There used to be a button in the preferences to enable outdated codecs... not there anymore with CC 2014. So... I added my renders into Media Encoder. The problem is that it is not calculating my project working in Linear Workflow so all my renders are very dark & wrong colors.
Anyone find a work around for this? is there a button in Media Encoder that I need to switch on for linear workflow?

I've been validating in QT, but per your comment I opened up in VLC player as well. VLC player does playback the correct color. I attached SS of same lossless rendered video from AE open in AE, QT, VLC, and then the rendered H264 in QT & VLC from AME in one screen shot. You can see that the H264 file from AME is always just a little bit off when opened in QT or Preview mode (OSX) or uploaded to Vimeo. The rendered H264 file is just the lossless file being encoded into H264 via AME.
That's great that VLC player will playback the correct color, but when uploading to Vimeo, the color shifts as well during playback. I've never had this issue when rendering to H264 directly from AE before. I'm a little new to AME so I'm not sure if there is a setting I am missing or is there a limitation to the H264 codec where I've never noticed the slight color shift? Is there anyway to get a H264 file that will play back via Vimeo/QT without the color shift?

An issue with media encoding a sequence

Not sure if this has been done before but I couldn't find it so here goes.
I have just finished an edit of some footage from my new Canon 60d (so we're talking 1080p 24fps). The edit has music, colour grading, dissolves and some time remapping. My PC is i5 760, 8GB RAM and 9800GTX CUDA graphics card (although only 521mb so not supported, doh!).
The problem I have is I use media encoder to export the footage on H.264 preset and when it is finished there are 2 short sections that are jerky (the look of a PC isn't fast enough to play them back). Any ideas why this might be? It's always the same two section and they look fine in Premiere.
Any help would be much appreciated as it would be finished if it wasn't for this. Arggh!

How did you check that with what player? What were your export settings on what disk system? Have you tuned your system? The hardware is pretty weak to begin with, so tuning is very beneficial.

Having troubles with Media Encoder CS6

Hello,
I am having the issue with Media Encoder where the it tries to connect to the dynamic link server for a long time and then ultimately fails with the message Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted. I have so far tried everything that I found online so far, that being uninstall and reinstall and creating the Premier shortcut in the Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink directory but nothing has worked. I am queuing the job from Premiere Pro CS6. I am not sure where to go from here and really need some help. This is on a Windows 7 machine. Thanks.

There are several different ways to add a Premiere sequence to AME, see if either of these alternative methods work for you:
Opt 1) Save your Premiere project, then drag your sequence from Premiere's Project panel and drop it into AME's Queue panel.
Opt 2) Quit Premiere but leave AME running. Drag your Premiere project file from the desktop (or wherever you've saved it) and drop it into AME's Queue panel. You should see an import dialog asking you to choose the sequence you want to import.

Premiere CS4 with Media Encoder CS5?

Hi,
When I was given my CS4 suite (production premium) years back, it included Premire Pro. Then, when I told my boss I needed to upgrade to CS5, he purchased the Web Premium Suite. This was fine, for the most part, as Illustrator, Flash, and Photoshop are the main programs I use, but we just recently got a video project that is giving me some issues.
We created what turned out being a 4 min + video. After some trial and error we settled on creating multiple segments in Flash and exporting them as uncompressed MOV files from Flash. Then we brought all of those MOV files together in a premiere pro project. The problem seems to occur when I export out an MP4 video from Premire Pro CS4. Premiere launches Media Encoder CS4 and then creates the MP4. The MP4 plays on a cellular device like we want it to, but it will not display a thumbnail/preview of the video when viewing the video in the phones gallery.
We have tried some other tests, and if we export out an MOV or AVI from Flash CS5 then convert that to an MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, there suddenly seems to be a thumbnail on the phone for the video. After multiple tests, it appears the problem might be related to which version of Media Encoder our final MP4 is produced in. ME CS4 - No thumbnail. ME CS5 - thumbnail.
The problem is, we HAVE to use Premiere as our final compiling tool, but I cant seem to get a Premiere Pro CS4 file to work with Media Encoder CS5.
Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Justin

but to automatically open up AME CS5 ... hmmm.. maybe a hack?
No, that will not work. Even if you have Audition 4.0 installed (beta), edit in Audition from CS5 will only access Audition 3.0.
The only way to try it is to open AME CS5, go to File/Add Premiere Pro Sequence and select the CS4 project and then the correct sequence.

Issues with Japanese encoding using Mail

Since recently (I would say since I updated to 10.6), I have an issue with Japanese-encoded (ISO 2022-JP) mails on my English MacOS.
I have no problem to read, edit and write answers to any mails.
However with some ISO JP-2022-JP encoded messages (sent with Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (Windows/20090812) btw) I have the following misbehaviour:
- if I send the message and let the encoding to "automatic", Mail sends the mail in UTF-8, which I do not want since most of Japanese computer do not understand UTF-8 by default (and the receiver gets panicked: "I can not read your mail T_T !")
- if I set the encoding to "ISO JP-2022-JP", I can not send nor save the message (see [1] at the end of the post). One should note that the error message when saving is really misleading (and yes my hard-drive has a lot of space left) and it should be fixed by Apple.
- if I dig a bit deeper, I can in effect find some characters in the original message which prevent Mail to send my mail. It however does not make any sense since:
- those char were in the original message properly encoded in ISO JP-2022-JP
- those char are always very common ones
The only solution I have found so far is to delete the original message in my mail, which is very frustrating...
A sample of such mail can be found at (I removed personal info. and the mail is about a drinking party):
- http://files.me.com/trouve.antoine/73w3w9
Help would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Antoine
[1] I get the following error messages:
-> try to save:
*This message can’t be saved to the Drafts mailbox.*
The message contains one or more attachments that

Some characters in your message could not be

encoding. Choose a different encoding from the
“Text Encoding” menu.

You can find out about the different versions here, for example:

Thank you. I feel a bit stupid for not having looked in Wikipedia at first...
I sometime wonder how could such basic problem like charset not being solved after more than 40 years of computer science...
Here is a note that addresses that problem, but I don't think it works with 10.6. Might be worth a > try:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121808&tstart=60
Thank for the link.
It seems to still work: new japanese mails are now sent in "ISO 2022-JP-2".
However, for messages with the header explicitly specifying "ISO 2022-JP" (which should be "ISO 2022-JP-2" on my mac) it has no influence.
The only ways I see to solve this issue would be:
i) to force "ISO 2022-JP-2" for all mails (a bit too extreme)
ii) to force the use of "ISO 2022-JP-2" instead of "ISO 2022-JP", but I do not think such precise configuration is possible
This mess appears to be due to Thunderbird which seems to mix "ISO 2022-JP-2" and "ISO 2022-JP", but I do not have any working Thunderbird to test now...

Clips exported with Media Encoder from AE are choppy (CS6)

Hi!
I'm using Media Encoder (6.0.3.1) to export clips from AE (11.0.4.2) so that I can work with them in PPro (6.0.5).
In Media Encoder I go to add AE composition and I've tried the YouTube HD 1080p 25 and the Broadcast HD 1080p 25 presets (the latter creates a much bigger file but I don't think the file size is the issue - for example, the biggest clip of approx. 1 mintute is 276MB).
The curious thing is that most of the clips that are exported are fine, i.e. they play back fine - the problem is that some of the clips go slow or choppy towards the end of the clip. So the last couple of seconds will be choppy. It basically looks like the frame rate isn't quite right.
Once exported from Media Encoder, I import them into PPro to do some more work - the problem with the clips is apparent when I play the original file in VLC (for example) or in PPro. So it seems like the problem occurs during the export from AE. When I export the video containing the AE clips from PPro the problem is obviously still there (wishful thinking on my part). I use AE just for keying and making some basic titles, nothing massively complex.
I had some problems with RAM preview in AE before, in other words, it wasn't playing the clips back in realtime and the exported clips with the problem look exactly like that (i.e. looks like the frame rate isn't right). I deactivated Enable Disk Cache in AE (Multiprocessing was already deactivated) and now I can play back clips ok in AE using RAM preview - even the ones that go choppy towards the end when they are exported with Media Encoder play back fine in AE.
Could Media Encoder be going back to some previous render files saved somewhere on my system and could that cause some of the exported clips to go choppy?
I'm new to Adobe so I'm just guessing here and I don't want to go about and delete stuff that might not have anything to do with this problem. As I've adopted the computer I'm working on from my predecessor and it's had several users since, the system is a bit of a mess and there are files all over the place. Empting the Disk Cache doesn't actually delete anything for example.
I'm really stuck here because I can't finish the projects I started working on with AE.... I would appreciate someone's input!
Many thanks in advance!
My system specs:
Intel Core i7-3930K, 3.20GHz, 16GB RAM, 64-bit operating system, GeForce GTX 680, Windows 7, Creative Suite CS6
Before using Media Encoder to export clips from AE I was just relying on Dynamic Link between AE and PPro by the way and that made all of the clips choppy for the whole duration (this was before I solved the RAM preview problem and I haven't checked if a working RAM preview would make a difference to dynamic link). So Media Encoder nearly solved the problem. I posted this original problem on creativecow (http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1045810) but no one has gotten back to me about the new issue unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply!
I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

Issues with Media Sharing to XBOX360/PS3

I'm having a weird issue with media streaming to my XBOX 360 and PS3 in regards to what I can access. I currently have my media sharing setup to share music and videos, including podcasts, regardless of the rating. I usually prefer to stream these items through the XBOX 360 dashboard (not Windows Media Center) or PS3. The problem I am having is that when new things are added to the library (mainly video podcasts in MP4 format in one of my shared folders downloaded via iTunes) I can see them without issue in WMP12 on my computer or Windows Media Center on both my desktop and XBOX 360. However, when I try to access these new items through the XBOX 360 dashboard or PS3 these videos may or may not show up and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this would be. Has anyone encountered this issue or know of a fix (or is there possibly a recent thread that has addressed this issue)?

I noticed this thread has not been updated in a bot and as I just dropped Win7 on my media PC at home after using it for a few months on another laptop like what i saw from release to release. After upgrading my PC (2.3ghz, 4gb RAM, couple terrabytes in drive space...) I had a problem first just streaming media to both my PS3 and my xboxes (x2). After Binging theweb a bit I found relief fro that by deleting and reseting my Homegroup.
Now that I can finally see content on consoles, I was pretty excited until Inoticed I had only half of my folders available for accessing. It seems out of the 10-12 folders I only have 5-6 of them that will actually show up. Again I tried to find some info out there on the intertubes, but no one seems to have any info specifically to this issue.
What I have tried so far:
1) Took a look security settings and verified what was mentioned above regarding the folder security and I was good there.
2) wiped and recreated the WMP12 media library. after this I noticed that not all the media in the My Videos folder are showing in WMP 12, but I defintely have more stuff showing on the Xbox then in WMP12. figurd that was a file compat issue.
3) tried to copy one of the folders that was not visible into one that was. Aside from somehow cause two seasons of episodes to somehow disappear int eh cut-n-paste then cut-n-return to original folder, nothing happened there either.
so far nothing seems to work. thoughts anyone?
Oh yeah... upgraded from Vista64 ultimate to Win 7 ultimate 64 and this worked flawlessly in Vista.

Videos export with purple/green artifacts/splotches/flashes with Media Encoder CC but export fine with Premiere Pro CC?

I use Premiere Pro CC to edit videos, and videos render fine when I export through Premiere Pro, but when I try to use Media Encoder CC, the video exports with weird splotches of green/purple artifacts all throughout. It almost looks like the video is glitching and having a seizure of green and purple. No idea why this happens. Could anybody help me? I use Media Encoder to export bulks of videos at a time through its queue feature, which is why I prefer to use Media Encoder for video exporting.
Please and thanks.

Mitch,
I was hoping that you and others might have some insight as to whether the purple and green artifacts / splotches seen in the attached screenshots (taken from 4 consecutive frames here but occurring through the entirety of the clip) could possibly have resulted from exporting video with ~ Premiere Pro CS5 or 6 ? As seen below, these splotches alternate back and forth between purple and green in every consecutive frame. I was also hoping that someone might know if this is a relatively common type of artifact and how it is caused.

Media Encoder CS6 with Media Encoder CC

Hi,
I have finally gotten Media Encoder CC installed. I still have Media Encoder CS6 on my computer. Can I uninstall Media Encoder CS6 without having problems with Media Encoder CC or any other CC apps? There is no uninstall optiion for ME CS6.
Thanks

Uninstalling Media Encoder CS6 shouldn't cause any problem to any CC apps, including Media Encoder CC.
There is no stand-alone uninstaller for Media Encoder CS6. In order to uninstall it, you need to uninstall all CS6 apps on which Media Encoder CS6 is depending. Those CS6 apps includes, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash, Prelude, SpeedGrade, and InDesign. Media Encoder CS6 is installed as a part of those apps. If you have any of those CS6 apps, please uninstall all of them. This also uninstalls Media Encoder CS6.

I have an issue with disappearing option for 1920x1080 in Preferences / Displays.

Recently updated to 10.9 - have all updates installed - Mid 2010 iMac 21.5.
I have an issue with disappearing option for 1920x1080 in Preferences / Displays. - After overnight shutdown, my iMac woke up and the screen resolution of my 2nd was set at 800 x 600 - the display a Samsung S22B150 was previously working properly at 1920 x 1080. This option is no longer available in the system preferences - highest resolution available 1600 x 1200.
I use my mMac for Photography and use the second monitor for the interface, leaving the iMac screen as a full work area for the photos.
I have tried:
Power down Monitor & restart
Shutdown & restart
Shutdown & restart in Safe Boot Mode (options same in Prefs)
Power down Monitor & restart in Safe Boot Mode
Ran Disc Utility - Repaired Permissions, verified both HDD & Mac OSX
Udated Pram
I am now at a loss, I guess I could try a recovery, and download/install Mavericks again, but do not wish to do this if I can help it.
I have searched the net to see if there are any Terminal commands to enable the resolution, but can find nothing.
Anyone out there have any ideas, please.

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.preference.displays2". There may be several such files. Move them to the Trash.
Test.

Can't Edit While Encoding With Media Encoder

Does anyone else get this happening to them:
When I begin the encoding process with Media Encoder, then go back to editing in Premiere Pro CC, EVERY time I hit the space bar to play a clip, Media Encoder Pauses its Encoding. Then when I stop playing the clip in Premiere Pro, Encoder begins encoding again. I'm fairly positive that Adobe touts that you can be encoding and editing at the same time, but I can't believe that this is happening. Anyone else?
Also, Encoder refuses to use my destination folder preference, instead targeting a folder I had used long ago and I have to manually target for every encode, every day.
THANKS!!!

Encoding is a real CPU/disc hog ... heh, it's an intensive process. Trying to both encode and playback in real-time ... um ... if you've got a rig with say four CPU's with 128GB RAM, two really hot v-cards that the Adobe program actually love to play with, and all programs/cache/footage/outputs on RAIDed SSD internal drives, you can maybe do both at the same time.
Think about what playback is doing ... it's not just playing the video off the disc ... not hardly. It's taking bits of video from this spot on the disk, skipping to this section of another video file there, to that one here ... and while doing that it's also immediately "reading" whatever changes you've made in editing, whether sound, size changes, color/grading, masks, EVERYTHING ... and applying that to the video it's grabbing of a disc somewhere AS it is playing it. Using a ton of CPU, disc read/write throughput, and probably a chunk of the v-card's GPU & vRAM. What's left for AME to use?
I've seen a lot of complaints around here as to why editing playback isn't smooth ... hey, in VLC, play that file, it plays back easy, what the * is PrPro doing?
Um ... VLC is playing the "straight" file, PrPro is playing back the file with all the other stuff added to it ... which isn't yet added to the file in reality, it's only instructions as to what to do to the file. So ... PrPro is essentially doing much the same work as when AME renders to an output simply to play the file in the program monitor.

Flash media encoder for Macintosh?

Will adobe release a version of Flash media encoder for
Macintosh?
I saw a year old post that said maybe later. It is a year
later. What is the status of adobe media encoder on Mac?
Thank you,
Davey Crockey

The Answer I keep getting from EVERYONE associated with this
question:
"Adobe is currently working on making Flash Media Encoder
work on Apple machines".
No one EVER has a date in mind that it may be ready.
Funny, the best and most reliable machine that we have
available is not able to do the most important thing of
all-Broadcast Live. Why edit and play later when you can Broadcast
now? What kind of claim to fame is that?
Finally Windows has something to boast.
Sorry we couldn't help, we're sitting right next to you in
the boat.
Happy Holidays,
