Wanted Muse but got Media Encoder

Wanted to download Muse but got Media Encoder instead. App. manager says Muse is " installed" but can't find it in Finder or Launchpad. What am I doing wrong

Hey Tinhelp,
If installed, it should be in the Applications folder. If its not there I'd try running the uninstaller from
Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
and then reinstalling

Smart render m2v attempted but got full encode

For a DVD production, I have an m2v+wav file-pair, generated from Premiere. I put those in a fresh project, created a new sequence matching the m2v file (by dragging m2v file to New button). Also I checked the audio format matched the WAV file. Then I appended (by straight "cut" on the timeline) a copyright notice in the same formats (m2v+WAV).
When I then did File>Export to generate the same kind of m2v+WAV file-pair (either by "match sequence settings" or by selecting same preset as I had used earlier), I expected a "smart render" i.e. rewrapping, but instead got full-encoding (e.g. CPU 80%). I verified this by forcing full-encoding by adding a video effect, following which the export took the same length of time.
Is there any way to enable m2v->m2v smart rendering?
Premiere version 7.2.1. Unwilling to update as I am mid-project.

Premiere does not do smart render for mpeg2.

Smart Rendering in Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.1, and later), & Premiere Pro CC

Updated to PrPro CS4 4.1.0 but now Media Encoder crashes upon launch

I also downloaded and installed the Media Encoder updater from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4492&fileID=4176 , but when I checked my ME app file, get info shows it's still v4.0.0. Splash screen displays v4.0.0.374
ME crashes immediately on launch every time.
What's up?

Thanks, pal. That worked for me. I'm really grateful!

Does media encoder recompress dv/hdv

i've looked thru the "knowledgebase" and thru the forums and could only find this instance:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1904986#1904986
i thought the default in CS4 when rendering video was if the source video and the target render was the same the adobe media encoder wouldn't recompress the video.
the only reason i ask was becuase i have a 5min file that i rendered out in CS4 and it took roughly 5min to render out. which to me means that CS4 is recompressing the file when rendering. I still have CS2 installed in the same system. i transferred my edit via .aaf to CS2 and just added the video transitions, the project was just transitions and overlays.It took half that time to render out with the "recompress" unchecked.
i have an:
intel core2 quad w/2.4G
2Gig Ram
winXP sp3
i don't normally do this, usually my projects go straight to DVD via encore. i've only started using CS4 for the last 6 months. is my computer system not optimized for CS4, which would explain the longer rendering time or does AME recompress video that has the same source to target specs?

Jeff, you've got a point. CS3 didn't do GREAT. I tended to use the old 2003 Microsoft WMV encoder as well. But, the Media Encoder in CS3 at least allowed me the turn on or off the "deinterlace" feature when I was converting from DV to WMV. The option to turn it on or off was on the left, not in the codec settings. It was next to the crop controls. If I turned it on, then when I wanted to turn a 720X480 DV AVI into a 640X480 WMV, the fields got blended, but at least I kept all the detail of eyes, letters, etc. and only the motion got blended. If I left the deinterlace turned off, then the fields stayed and you got a 640X480 WMV that looked like it had jagged edges because both fields got encoded "as is" with no loss or dopping."
The new one does give me the option of turning "interlacing" on or off, but off blurs everything vertically, even when I'm not resizing height. So eyes become blurs and sharp serif fonts become these blurred rounded things. The processing shouold follow the F4V/H.264 model where field order determines deinterlacing order.
I prefer not to use AviSynth or Virtualdub, except when absolutely necessary. I'm trying to have a workflow that other media employees (who only know Adobe) can follow without asking me every 5 minutes. there are 4 of us who do video, but I'm the only one who has a serious knowledge base. The others are cameramen or Flash developers who cross trained.

Media Encoder does NOT deinterlace properly

If you export a DV-based sequence (29.97 LFF) with graphics and text in it, the video does not deinterlace properly.
This applies to AT LEAST WMV v9 and FLV VP6.
With WMV, it deinterlaces with TFF order, resulting in a very blurry, but smooth image. This is NOT what CS3 did. It deinterlaced properly.
With FLV, it treats the video as progressive and creates stairstepped lines, even though the rendered previews in DV format look pristine and razor sharp.
The only solution for a web-based export that looks nice is to use F4V (the new flash video) and set the H.264 to process "Lower" field priority. My problem is our company systems for employees can't handle F4V yet. (If you set F4V to "Upper, it processes and looks like WMV, and setting to "Progressive" looks like the FLV above)
Any suggestions or work-arounds that don't require exporting a DV video, opening Virtualdub to flip field order and then using Media Encoder?

Media encoder cs4 crashes by using Premiere (and conversely)

Hi !
I have some troubles with CS4 Media Encoder.
It was working fine some months ago when I used it for encoding with Premiere CS4 (with HDV and HD video files, sometimes wih video files more than 4 hours long).
Now, it crashes everytime (with the windows message : this program has to be closed), and I just want to encode a DV video (20 minutes of video) ...
But CS4 Media Encoder doesn't crash if it's launched alone. If I lanuch Premiere, Premiere than crashes with the Adobe windows send-reports.
I try to find solution on the websites, like deleting some files or changind folder names, the problem is still there.
Could you please help me with this issue ?
My computer uses windows XP.
Thanks a lot for your help !

I still have the problem, I can't export anything.
And I really need to finish my project soon and quickly but I can't :-(
I try to figure out on Internet how to deal with it, but each time there is a file I don't have, or a folder, or the solution doesn't work...
Please, if you know anything thank you to tell me

Is the Random Media Encoder CC Mute Problems Fixed?

There is a thread about Mute/Solo but here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5592142#5592142
However it has been quite some time since Adobe staff has responded to that thread, so I thought I'd create a new thread to see if it is fixed. Right now I'm wasting alot of time with Premiere Pro CC / Adobe Media Encoder CC as this combination will produce encodes with randomly muted audio tracks, effectively making Adobe Media Encoder unusable. Because I and other CC users rely on Media encoder for their batch export workflow, I'm wondering if Adobe has addressed the problem in the newest release Premiere Pro CS 7.0.1 (105) or not. Please respond so I can use Adobe Media encoder again!
Thank you.

This is causing massive headaches for me, and has wasted me days of work. I have a 12 language, 21 sequence DVD project, with all the languages on one timeline. Initially I used mute and solo to export the various language versions. But, due to whatever bug is going on, only around a third of the audio clips exported properly. Many muted or kept the wrong audio tracks, others muted them all.
So then I had to create 152 sequences from my original sequences, one for each language for the 21 different clips, then going through and deleting all but one lanuage for each (not ideal if there are any changes in timings to the original sequences). I then exported these as dolby digital audio for DVD. No success - only one of the languages exported. The rest just had the music track. So then, I tried exporting AAC audio. Two of them worked, the rest didn't. It seems totally random when exporting from media encoder which tracks actually appear in the final file. Some are muted, some aren't. And it is even different depending on what file format is being exported.
It seems I'm going to have to export, one-by-one, the audio clips from Premiere. 152 times. I don't want to have to, but if Media Encoder can't do the job it's suppoed to do, then as far as I can tell, that's the only alternative. Not happy at all. My CTRL-E fingers are going to get tired.
Can any Adobe staff tell us whether these bugs are going to be fixed at any point?

Adobe Media Encoder CS 6 works for one user login - not the other

Slightly odd... but Adobe Media Encoder CS 6 will open fine in my basic test user account but not my main user account (or guest account).
In my main account in will crash just before it starts to load up all the bits 'n' pieces but loads up perfectly in my test account.
So there's no problem other than something different about the USER accounts and I really can't work out what that could be. Anyone got any ideas?
I also have AME 5.5 in both accounts and they both work perfectly.

Oh, I've just realised that chucking away the AME prefs from (below) has solved the problem. Someone mentioned chucking away prefs in another thread but I must have chucked the wrong ones. So, if anyone else has this problem then try this...
USER Library > Preferences > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder (chucked this whole folder way containing 5.5 and 6 prefs). New ones were made and both working perfectly

Media encoder preview files folder

Hi!
I'm not sure this folder exisited the last version, but in media encoder CC it's there in my documents/adobe/media encoder preview files.
the problem is that it's getting realy big- 30 gigs. I'm not sure why is it created.
I want to know if I can delete those files and I realy need to change it's path so it wont block my c drive
thanks

If you are using a SSD there are likely to be a few very large files that you would like to relocate, not just those belonging to Adobe.
I too found that media encoder files within ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\8.PRV’ with no obvious way of adjusting the settings to move them.
The solution I usually use for this type of problem is to create what is known as a ‘Windows Junction’, which is like a ‘shortcut’ but behaves exactly the same as a regular folder. I decided to move the whole of the ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\Adobe’ folder from ‘My Documents’ to the root of another disk drive and then create then replace this with the ‘junction’ named ‘Adobe’ in . ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\’
1: Close all Adobe software in case anything is in use in the Adobe folder (or the move will fail).
2: I was going to suggest moving the files at this point but it may be safer to copy them and then delete the ‘Adobe’ folder only if the copy is successful. Copy the Adobe folder to another drive using drag and drop, in this example I used the root of the ‘G’ drive. If the move is successful delete the original ‘Adobe’ folder from ‘My Documents’.
3: Start a command prompt window in administrator mode (right click / run as administrator)
4: Change the directory to your ‘Documents’ folder using the command (not My Documents):
CD “c:\users\[me]\documents”
Replace [me] with your folder name, which is usually your name
5: Assuming you moved the ‘Adobe’ folder to the ‘G’ drive, and replace ‘G’ if different enter the command:
Mklink /j Adobe G:\Adobe
I have put multiple spaces in the above where there must be at least 1 space.
I have used this solution to move parts of ‘program files’ and other folders from the SSD to a regular hard drive for software and files I do not use very much.
Maybe I should make a video of this procedure?

Uninstall media encoder cs5

I have no idea how I got Media Encoder CS5 on my machine (maybe playing around with 10.1 Flash in Labs?) but I'd certainly like to get it off (since it doesn't work on my Windows machine) and re-establish the automatic bootup of Media Encoder CS4 from Premiere Pro CS4.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Encoder CS5 installed with either flash catalyst beta or flash builder
I have no idea how to uninstallit other than to uninstall catalyst
I can run Encoder CS4 by itself and then choose my premiere cs4 seq (from project) and that lets me render my premiere pro cs4 seqs

Adobe media encoder components have different versions error CS5 (32 bit)

I updated the CS5 suite the other day and all the updates installed fine, except adobe media encoder which said "done with errors" (no indication of what the errors were mind you).
Now, when I open Adobe Media Encoder (CS5) it pops up saying "Adobe Media Encoder components have different versions. Please update Adobe Media Encoder."
This is the 32 bit v of CS5 (so no Premiere or AE) but Adobe Media Encoder is still used to encode flv etc for the web (Flash and Dreamweaver).
The CS4 suite version of Adobe Media Encoder (that does have Premiere and AE) works the same as always. Has anyone else noticed this?

This was a problem with the installer.
We have updated and posted a new version to Adobe.com.
If you still get error on launch, you can download the new patch and install it to fix this issue:
1.       Go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4869
2.       Download the patch and save it on your Hard drive.
3.       Unzip the file.
After unzipping the file, you should end up with one installer and two folders:
4.       Dbl-click on “AdobePatchInstaller.exe”.
This will over write the previous 5.01 patch you installed with new one.
Since we didn't actually change the files inside the patch, but basically fixed the installer, this update has the same update number 5.0.1.
We have also updated the update manager and future automated updates won't have this issue.

Adobe Media Encoder Fails to start

I recently upgraded to CS5, fully 64-bit, but because a lot of my plugins and etc are still 32-bit, I installed the 32-bit support so I could have premiere & after effects CS4 and CS5 on the same system. But this seems to have created a but with media encoder, When I do a render que in media encoder, it doesn't start at all, just hangs there saying contacting dynamic link manager. The only way to render out of Premiere CS5 is to use the export feature within it. I also get a problem with whenever I say export media, it says there is an update for the media encoder, when there is one for CS4 media encoder not CS5 media encoder. And all the processmanagers and mediaimporter are running in 32-bit for some reason.

I recommend getting the suite. Mixing and matching CS5 and CS4 not a good idea. I took the plunge and so far I don't regret it even though I have run into some bugs that are slowly getting fixed. CS4 engine not the same as CS5.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Watch Folders

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I couldn't find an Adobe Media Encoder forum, and since we purchased After Effects to get Media Encoder I figured this might be a good place to start.
Basically, we have a dedicated computer set up with Adobe Media Encoder, and we set up several watch folders on a network drive. We have several files that must be several different codecs, so Media Encoder is really an awesome solution to this problem. However, the only problem we've been running into is sometimes Media Encoder doesn't actually watch a folder. For example, we have a "For web" folder and a "For VOD" folder. The for web folder has had absolutely no problems as far as watching and pulling in goes. The "For VOD" will sometimes not pick up files, but if media encoder is closed and then reopened, it picks up all of the files in that folder, but then again, will not pick up additional files in that folder.
The Media Encoder machine is running on Windows 7 (due to one of the codecs being Windows only), while all of the other machines in the department are macs. I have tested setting up the same system on one of our macs and we get the same problem. We are using an SMB network, but also have DAVE clients on all of our macs.
My initial theories are that it's either: A.) Something with the network, or B.) Something on the computer interupting the network connection. One of the IT guys briefly checked out the situation, changed around some network settings, and concluded that it must be an issue within Media Encoder itself.
Also, as a side note, I did check for updates with Adobe updater and everything is up to date.
Any ideas would be fantastic! And sorry if I'm leaving out crucial information in order to solve our situation, I'm not sure what all would be relevant, but just let me know what you would need!
Thank you!

Typically, Adobe apps do not work as well in a networked environment. You might try moving the watch folders to a local drive on the Win 7 machine and see if that makes any difference. If it does, there's your solution.

ADOBE Media Encoder CS5 doesn't recognize LPCM audio

I have a video .m2ts with 3 audio tracks, 2 are AC3 and one is LPCM. I have created a new .m2ts file with tsMuxer with only LPCM audio track, but the audio of this file is not recognized but Adobe Media Encoder, who tells me that it has "mono" audio. Windows media player fails to recnize too, and plays no audio. Lokking at properties of the file in windows, it doesn't show any audio propertuy, like as it had no audio.
Howeaver the audio is there, because if I open this file with PoerDVD9 it plays correctly.
If I select one of the AC3 audio tracks instead that the one with LPCM with tsMuxer, the new file player correctly and is recgnized but AME. What's the problem???

any solution?
the files i'm trying to convert:
powerDVD 9 does play audio correctly
VLC media player does play the audio correctly
but WMP does NOT play audio correctly and AME does not see that audio at all
happens with:
DTS
LPCM

Media Encoder for CS4 (Mac Version) will not encode

Hi-
I am editing on a new macbook pro and Premiere works great....but the media encoder keeps giving me error messages stating the source media can't be found. I have tried to update the software, but the update will not complete (update work for the rest of CS4). I have reinstalled and still have the same problem. I have downloaded to the most current patch but it tells me the version on my computer is newer. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Any ideas?
