Which: Export AE Render Queue ? PP Export Media ? Media Encoder?

The output of my PP and AE project ( combined video and animation ) looks terrible when exported or queued in PP or the CS5 Media Encoder.
It renders slow and has shown poor performance in the Mac OS X Activity Monitor.
When output to the AE queue ... the project looks great,, encodes super fast, and 'finally' shows awesome performance in the Activity Monitor.
I spent too much time trying different settings before I tried the AE renderer ... which, by the way, is buried away in the Compostition Menu under Add to Render Queue.
First, It is standard to output as a File command .. so there should be a Export / Save As ... > to the "Render Queue" .. and who cares what a 'render queue' is .. all I want to do is save file "A" in format "B".
So ... basically , my question is / are:
Why does both the PP Export and CS5 Media Encoder produce such bad results?
and / or
What are the correct settings for PP Export and CS5 Media Encoder to produce excellent results matching the AE Render Queue?
Why do you have multiple inconsistent, confusing and dysfunctional Exporting / Saving options?
Seems that the CS5 "Media Encoder" should be junked and replaced with whatever engine is running inside the AE renderer .. and all other Export / Save / Add to Render Queue / and God knows what else you guys call it ... should be routed to the new Media Encoder.

Thanks again as always Todd.
I just can't get some of this ... just when I think I'm getting somewhere .. blam.
Why is there a "com.adobe.dynamiclinkmanagerCS5" in my trash ( Mac OS X ) every time I turn on the machine?
There are posts here at Adobe and one on Creative Cow Discussions .. but no one at Adobe answers.
"Why?"
I have a huge plugin problem and yet again I will have to reinstall the system software and CS5 to get it to work long enough so I can spend time trying to figure out the vocabulary to explain to you, Apple, and CoreMelt what is going on. It seems to be within Dynamic Link.
Do you have a 12 Core Mac OS X?
Would your tech with a 12 Core Mac running OS X 10.6.6 install CoreMelt Plugin V2 - Lock & Load?
Would your tech explain to whomever needs to figure it out why / what doesn't work .. and fill in the blanks at Adobe?
Would someone explain it to me?

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing. How can I trouble shoot this. I have no idea why this is failing. I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

Harm, I followed your advice. I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions. Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software. I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
Thanks for your response.

Red r3d 3k fails on CUDA export Media encoder CC

Been having some problems with Red 3k.
Several times recently for some low budget stuff I have shot 3k and put it in a 720P timeline.
All of my 3k material will fail under media encoder CUDA export.....it works under software but a 20 minute CUDA encode is 7 hours with 3k in software encoding
4k 5k all work fine no problems.....just the 3k stuff. And this has been the case over several shoots for months.
It is also the same with 1080p sequences and at any frame rate, and it also fails from PPRO direct export (not queued)
Thanks

Yes, AME queue is a problem. I have a 28 minute weekly broadcast for a client that must be encoded in 6 different formats for TV Broadcast, mpeg2 DVD, vimeo, mp3, h.264 for vimeo, etc. If I attempt to encode all 6 in the queue I will have some success and also failure. If I queue several videos that all require mpeg2 (though with each requiring several different specs, i.e., upper field vs. lower field, mpeg2 dvd, mpeg2 HD, etc.) it will complete the task. Yet if I add h.264 to the mix all encodes will fail. I can encode h.264 by itself with no problems. So yes, you are not alone. Not sure what the solution is. In CS6 one could queue all of these formats and walk away. Can Adobe acknowledge these issues and then propose a solution?

Long Projects exported Media Encoder 5.0.1 fail to finish

Exporting 90 minute P2 AVC-INTRA 100 sequence or a 90 Motion JPEG sequence fails to finish. Both exports fail around 50%. Media Encoder 5.0.1 fails to finish. This is reminicent of PP 2 and CS3 days when long sequences would not finish. In this case I ended up breaking up the sequence into two parts and the exports complete. Suspect that media encoder 5.0.1 over time generates error that there is not enough disk space when there actually is. Media Encoder indicates error compiling movie. Maybe not refreshing itself during the export process. Developers need to fix this asap. Memory management may also be an issue with this problem.
If anyone is having this same exporting problem suggest you break up project into chunks for now until this is fixed by Adobe.
Cannot finish long projects with this bug not being fixed.

Have not tried that. System configuration guys I talk to on a regular basis have told me that because Media Encoder is caching the project in memory that the appropriate way to to run and export via Media Encoder, when exporting your project, is to queue the export to Media Encoder from Premiere then start the encode in Media Encoder first then close Premiere CS5. Something to do with the way they link or something. However the problem I am having is exporting a long project (90 minutes). Adobe had an issue a few versions back with this same issue of exporting a large project. I suspect it has to do with the app no rechecking it's own processes or some piece of code that is stopping the export after a certain time or certain size when it should not. Reported the bug to adobe and I hope they fix it asap. I could be wrong as I am using a GTX 480 card and because mercury playback is not officially supported I could be having issues related to the card. However, until I hear someone exporting a 90 minute or 2 hour movie in AVC-INTRA 100 or motion jpeg or Cineform without a problem I am pretty sure this is a bug.

Memory & Export & Media Encoder

Problem 1:
Is there in CS4 a way to export a standard DV AVI file (standard DV 4:3 source material) without having to use Media Encoder? In older versions of Premiere (CS2 for example) all I had to do was "Export to Movie" which created an AVI file. Now, I use "Export to Media", Media Encoder opens and has to load the whole darn project, then "encode" my timeline .. this take a LOT LONGER than I want.
Because I'm new to CS4, am I missing something?
Problem 2:
After I work in CS4 Premiere for a while (about 2 -3 hours), I get a warning that "Adobe Premiere is Low on Memory. Please save your project and proceed with caution." ... What's that all about? I have to close the project and reopen to 'flush' the mem?
TIA,
jd

1. No.
2. It looks like either PPro or a third-party plug-in is leaking memory.
Please provide these details to help us help you.

Changing Frame Padding On Image Sequence Exports, Media Encoder

Hello Adobe World,
I am using dynamic link from After Effects to Media Encoder and I am trying to export an image sequence with a specific numbering system for input into software code. Is there any way to change the frame padding or change the numbering system for Image sequence exports?
We are trying to speed up our workflow by Batch rendering from AME. AE does let us set our frame numbering and gives us an option for creating sub-folders (it's surprising the AE is much more organized in it's export options that AME). We need to be able to render more than one thing at a time and need to keep working in AE while the files are rendering. I have not found a workable background rendering plug-in for CC14. We could use AME if there is a way to fix the Number system. We are working on a PC Windows 8. I can provide more system specs if it is necessary.
Side note: in AE we can use [#] to set the numbering value and in AME it does not work.
Thank you for your help!
Still looking for an answer on this.... it's been 2 months.... Adobe team? Anyone?

Change it to this?

Adobe. Please help.
Anyone else confrm this?
Thank you

There was a Red Giant bug in the Magic Bullet suite that caused problems with AME. Make sure you've fixed that.
Try a simple comp that is just a solid layer with no effects or animation and nothing else in the composition. If that works then give us all the details on your comp or try eliminating one effect at a time until you find the problem.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 remove my video layers from sequence after export Media Encoder.

Every time I send the seq to Media Encoder, Premiere Pro hides my video layers and leaves only the audio layers. When I restart the project the workspace is messed up and I have to reset it. Do you guys know what is going on ?

Yes known issue.
Make a new project and drop this one into it.
See if that will help

Cineware C4D Render Fails in Adobe Media Encoder

I'm trying to render an After Effects composition using Cineware and a very basic C4D Lite layer.
It renders fine directly in the AE render queue, but hangs and eventually fails in Adobe Media Encoder.
The error message is:
Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I'm using Windows 7, Adobe Creative Cloud. I've opened the default TCP port 5030 in Windows Firewall & tried disabling Windows Firewall altogether. I've tried rendering with both CUDA and software only. I've cleared my render cache and restarted several times. I've had no problems rendering in Media Encoder until I try to enable a Cineware layer. It makes a sheep noise.

Has anyone successfully rendered Cineware using Windows 7 platform ?
Is there a particular port I should try besides the default 5030? And do I need to set this port somewhere in Adobe Media Encoder CC settings or just under the Cineware effects settings?
There's no reason why this shouldn't at least be documented somewhere. I'm using a brand new clean vanilla install of Windows 7 and Creative Cloud with Intel Core I7 + NVidia GPU.
"Unknown Error" to me says some code was sitting in a huge "try/catch" type block with the exception not being handled.

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
Mac tower 2010

30 Second Audio Render problem in Adobe Media Encoder?

I've been trying a few things out to fix this, but no luck.
Ok, so I export videos with a audio spectrums where audio would be necessary. Now I want to do this all in After Effects without editing the Audio in in Premiere Pro. After Effects does not render in H.264. So I send it Adobe Media Encoder. When I export to AME, the first 30 seconds is mute, without fail. only on AME though. I can export straight through AE with .mov and it works fine. but I don't like doing that with the large filesize. I also did this with WebM. Audio does not export for 30 seconds on AME.
I like to send everything to AME. So if I have to go to premiere to fix audio I will. so after fixing everything I send it over to AME and let it export. for some reason, it WILL give me audio. Is there something wrong with my settings in AE or AME?
Everything is CC if that helps any

OK, give this a shot.

From Photoshop CS6, How do I render multiple files to Media Encoder when editing Video?

I'm trying to send one version of my video open in PS CS6 to Media Encoder at 1920x1080 then while that renders, I'd like to crop it and render it as 1440x1080.
Is there a faster way to to this?
Ideally I'd like to Send it to ME rather than Export right away..seems I can only Epxort and wait. I'd like to continue working while it renders in the background like in AE

I'm not familiar with how Photoshop uses AME, but I do know that there are several applications other than the primary professional video applications that use it. InDesign, for example, uses it for transcoding movies to be put into folios/magazines created in the digital publishing workflow (for tablets and such).

A serious bug of render "PAL" timeline by "Media Encoder"

I use premiere cc2014 at PC/Mac, I find a serious bug when I complete a job in a "PAL" setup time line (720x570 25fps (PAL) aspect ratio 4:3), if i export to a mpeg 2 file with same setup to "Media Encoder", the out put file become a "4:3" Pillarbox file (left and right become a black bar). But If I export file without using "Media Encoder", the file is prefectly same as the timeline setup. Since I always output timeline(s) in "batch", so I must need to use Media Encoder. Please help to fix that bug. P.S., I have try in CS5.5, CS6, there is no that bug in Media Encoder.

Hi MRJay,
I had a similar issue only when using 3rd party plugin (Creative Impatience) that would go all catywhumpus on Encoder Queue outputs...it would mess with certain images or text that were not necessarily matching the project proportions (e.g. crop them, or ignore 1/2 of my Feathered Crop, etc.)
The solution was bizarre, and likely source-code default setting based...
After going to Media-->Export and when in the Encoder interface--before Queueing-- find a section on your timline with the scroll controls where the graphic is, make sure you are in Source Tab (top left), goto Crop Proportions; Use the drop down tab to actually set the Output dimension to what your sequence is (you won't have to actually export with this setting) and then switch to the Output tab. Does it now appear correct? That's it...undo the Crop Prop. and output normally. Hope this helps...

Can I apply and render batch effects in media encoder?

Hi I'm using Adobe premiere cs6.5 and media encoder. I would like to add an unsharpen mask effect to all my clips and render them out in a batch process in media encoder. Is there a way to do this with out physically handling each individual file?
Thanks

Don't think so in CS6.5.
IN CC2014xx one would apply it to all clips selected/grouped in the Bin as a Master Clip Effect... then send those clips to AME

Why is render much darker in media encoder

When I render direct to Media Encoder from After Effects, the results is much darker than the original.
If, however, I render from After Effects alone then it's faithful to the original.
Anybody else come across this?
It's annoying as I'd like to avoid a two stage render process.

Also, do you have color management enabled for your project in After Effects?
