Why cant I encode a .mov using Adobe Media Encoder CC to .mp4 or .ogv to use in Edge?

Yeah, mp4 in HTML5 browsers is h.264 encoded - h.264 is a subset of MPEG-4 standard. More info here:
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For ease of use in AME, if you look at the right side of the UI in the presets, the Web Video > YouTube presets are the ones that will encode to h.264 with the mp4 extension.

"R6025 -pure virtual function call" Error While Use Adobe Media Encoder

I'm trying to use Adobe Media Encoder (CS3) to output a project to H.264. I have about 3 minutes of footage on the Premier Pro CS3 Timeline, all of it in Cineform AVI intermediate format. When I export the movie through AME and select 2-pass VBR, it gets through the first pass, but crashes at 50% on the second pass with the error:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program E:\Progra...
R6025
-pure virtual function call"
Any ideas what may be causing this error?

Point taken...
I'm on a Dell XPS 720 Windows XP (32-bit) system, with all up-to-date service packs and patches. I have 4GB RAM installed, and Production Premium CS3, TMPGEncXPress and Cineform's Neo Scene. Neo Scene is a recent addition and the problem existed prior to its installation. I have two 7900GS graphics cards (each with 256MB video RAM), running in SLI mode.
I dual boot Windows XP: One system is "Messy" with all kinds of stuff installed. The other is "Clean" and has virtually nothing installed, except for the three suites previously mentioned. No anti-virus or anti-spyware software is installed on the Clean system. I get the error on both systems.
I saw the post from September 2007 reference vcredist_x86. I'll be trying that at my next opportunity, however, I'm not sure that will fix it, as I don't see why both systems would suffer from the same corruption. I'll also be swapping out RAM to see if that fixes the issue.

My YouTube video looks blurry using Adobe Media Encoder

Im trying to upload a video to YouTube but the video always turns out blurry and pixilated regardless of what settings I use in my Adobe Media Encoder. I shot the video on a Sony 1080i HD camcorder, I know YouTube reduces the quality but I expect my images (ie peoples faces) should still be clear enough to see but that hasnt been the case. I went to the following site for guidance but I still cant get it right.
http://www.squidoo.com/youtuberight
Here are my settings that I thought would make my video look great on YouTube. What am I doing wrong?

I heard sometime ago that YouTube converts everything uploaded to
Flash or FLV format. I have not used the iPod format for this purpose in CS3 but Rick has obviously found that it works well, however, I would recommend using Adobe Media Encoder to FLV and set it to 320X240 with no more than 1MB/sec bit rate to maximize quality and minimize file size since it's not going to be larger than that on Youtube.
The FLV raw file will be ecoded using VP6 or Sorenson's older version courtesy of PPro CS3 unfortunatley, but I feel the best codec to use is 264. Why PPro, especially CS3, does not offer this codec is unkown. That could be a reason why Rick's videos look good and that he may have shot them in HD. But then again, HD to 320X240 would seem to be self defeating. iPod format is indeed, believe it or not, 720X480. If you have published anything to the iTunes store, this is a required format which is not optional as it is with Youtube.

Encoding h.264 video for iPad using Adobe Media Encoder CS5

All kind of help is appreciated since I already spent more than a day trying to get this to work.

Even Main Profile, Level 3.1 (compressed with AME CS5) works in the real thing when embedding according to my "reports".
Gaaaah, what a waste of time relying on a not-so-reliable simulator!

Using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects - 6/23/14

Very disappointed with this choice. I will definitely be seeking to uninstall this version and go back a version or two. Two many extra steps to export an mp4 now. And now we also have to wait longer for a mp4 to render and can't take advantage of the machine's hardware? You guys fighting mp4 as a standard, forcing us to an additional product, or what? I'll be sharing my extreme disappoint with this 'upgrade' with the rest of the developers at work and who just had it installed. I'm not seeing this being too popular opn social media either. Seems like you only did what was best for you.Thanks for showing us who's boss.

Not necessarily. You can render an intermediate codec with AE's render queue (thus using all of AE's power to render) and then drop that file into the Adobe Media Encoder.
This was the workflow I've always used - even when AE could encode with MP4. Why? Well, because AE sucked at MP4 encoding. You couldn't even do multipass endoding with it!
This is a useful workflow in a few ways:
1. You have an archive-quality file to come back to in the future.
2. You can use AE's full power to render.
3. You can use AME's superior encoding capabilities.
4. You can tweak your compression settings and try various encoding parameters to improve the quality while decreasing the bitrate of your product WITHOUT having to re-render the AE comp every time you try since you're working off of the intermediate file. I mean, imagine a comp with several 3d layers, depth of field, shadows from multiple lights, and 250,000 particles from Particular. What if you made an MP4 and then the client needed a smaller file size or the MP4 you made was too heavily compressed and you needed higher quality? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather only render that 18-hour monster once.
This workflow actually saves time for many people.
And, in any workflow, this produces a better product.
Again, this is what I did even when AE could encode MP4's.
Frank VA wrote:

They aren't fighting MP4 as a standard, in fact, when Adobe folks pop in here and answer questions, that's often their recommendation for delivery codec.
Frank VA wrote:

Listen, I understand your frustration. Knocking out a quick compressed file from AE for client review is handy.
However, maintaining the h.264 encoding in AE took up development time. There are only so many person-hours per week for the (relatively tiny) AE team to spend on building each version of AE.
I never liked AE's h.264 encoding - AME has always done a superior job. Since we have AME to do our encoding, I would rather the AE team focus their effort on improving AE as a compositing and motion graphics tool rather than as an encoding tool.
Again, I get the frustration. I can see where it feels like they are doing what's good for them and not us, but I think, in the long run, this way is better for us. Right now, the majority of the AE team is working on making AE faster to work with and faster to render. The sooner we get a relatively bug-free version of that, the better! (Especially for folks on Mac OSX Yosemite who can't RAM preview smoothly in any version of AE).
And at least the After Effects team has been very transparent about things - for example, this blog post talks about their reasoning: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects

Create a flash video using adobe media encoder cc 2014

How to create a flash video using adobe media encoder cc 2014?

removal of FLV and F4V export features from Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere Pro

Video faster than audio when use Adobe Media Encoder to convert f4v to mp4

I am using Adobe Captivate 5 on a mac record a demonstration, and I have published my project to .f4v. Now I am using Adobe Media encoder to convert the .f4v file to .mp4 (to play on an ipod). The output LOOKS good, but the video is running much faster than the audio. To be clear, the audio is running at the correct pace, but the video is going by much too quickly.

From Captivate, I tried changing the fps to a variety of speeds (12, 20, 30, 40, 60) when publishing to f4v. Then in Adobe Media Encoder, when I converted to mp4, I tried keeping the fps the same as the source f4v, reducing it, or increasing it. After all these experiments, I found that changing the fps in Adobe Media Encoder had no effect at all. Only changing the fps in the source f4v had an effect. Reducing it to 12 made the probelm worse (the video went by even faster), and increasing it as high as 60 made a SLIGHT improvement, but not enough to get things in sync. Changing the key frame distance in AME had no effect.

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.

Cropping .mov with Adobe Media Encoder Problem????

I have a qt.mov that is 1920 by 1900, I needed to crop it down to 320 186. I did the conversion in Adobe Media Encoder using the same settings as the original movie. In QT the movie plays fine but when I embed it in the page and upload to the server the movie does not play as I would normally see the player then the stream and finally the movie. Any reason why this would be?
RD

Went and got QT pro, I see that it has the streaming option, when I exported the file I chose streaming, uploaded the finished file and it works perfect.
thx

Just how hard it is to export using Adobe Media Encoder ?

For those who have CS4 already, just how difficult is it to export
to Adobe Media Encoder ?
Right now it's very simple, you make up your work area for example, and export.
So with CS4, I must do what exactly to do this ?
Do I have to save the project with the work area selected, exit, now open Adobe Media Encoder and now select "open project" and now load this up and then export ?
Please tell me it ain't so.
I'd like to hear the steps to do this. I have to be honest, what once was an exciting time, has turned into a disappointing time now, reading all the things Adobe had changed ( for no good reason ). I just don't understand sometimes why they do things. I think they should get more input from poeple that use their products on a daily basis, so they know what they should touch, and what not to touch.
I'm actually not looking forward to upgrading now, even though I will, because of a few things that look good in the new version.
Dave.

It ain't so.
The workflow remains pretty much the same until you finally click the OK button. At that point the AME will open up and you can choose to start the queue immediately or switch back to PPro and do several more exports before starting the queue.
Read all about exporting
from the horse's mouth. ;)
You will also find several
CS4 tutorials that will show you how it's done.

Can't use Adobe Media Encoder CS5. It won't encode

I'm following lessons on Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book and I've just got stuck on lesson 8 because AME won't work. The program opens fine, but when a drag the penguin.mov to it, I get this message:
""Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event.

I then try to use it with my own movies to see if it works. It starts encoding and suddenly it stops and gives me the exclamation mark inside the yellow triangle under "Status". I click on Status and I get this message:

Using Adobe Media Encoder with After Effects and ExtendScript

Hi,
I'm trying to automate the process of encoding a video using the Adobe Media Encoder. The project I'm working on includes allowing a user to upload a video and having that video then be encoded in different formats. I'm very new to After Effects and ExtendScript, but the two ways I see of doing this are:
1) Use ExtendScript to fire the Adobe Media Encoder through After Effects, using the 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue' function. I'm not sure if this is possible or not.
2) Bypass After Effects all together and use the 'watch folder' function in Adobe Media Encoder and upload the files directly to that folder.
I'd prefer to go route 1, if that's possible, but I'm not sure it is. I was thinking that I could write a script to work with Adobe Media Encoder to encode a given video, but from what I've read, ExtendScript isn't currently supported by Adobe Media Encoder? This is true? What would be the best way to go about accomplishing this?
Thanks.

I think you will have a much easier time just using option 2. I have to ask, why do you want the files to go through After Effects anyway? If you are just taking a file and converting it to ## different formats...the watch folder setup in AME would be super easy to setup.
All you need to do is ensure the user submitted files end up in a certain directory -- make that folder your watch folder and create a second folder within that one called 'encoded' or something along those lines. That way as long as AME is online and watch folders are active....you won't have to do a thing.

Twixtor plugin doesn't render using Adobe Media Encoder

Hello, I'm having a weird case here with Twixtor 5.0 and Premiere CS6.
First I was getting the orange screens rendering a sequence with twixtor in it. Them I read the solution for it, that is: "The seuquence have to be the same setting as the clip with twixtor applied"
So I did it, and profit! It was working. I fixed all my sequences, and send to Adobe Media Encoder. After I burned the DVD with the MPEGs AME created, the orange screens were there again.
If I export straight from Premiere, the video is fine! No orange screens, but if I send the sequence to AME, or even import it straight from AME, the video will have the error.
Please, can someone help? There's a lot of chapters, and I don't want to render one by one trough Premiere, I could even put everything in one final sequence, but them I don't know if the final MPEG would save the chapter marks I would have to create in it...
I really like AME, and want to use it
Thanks!
P.S:
Windows 8 PRO
Premiere CS6 6.0.3
Twixtor V5.0

If you set Encore chater markers in PP, name them and export out using MPEG2-DVD, they will carry over to Encore.

Export Quick Time using Adobe Media Encoder...

I'm a Windows (vista) user and I rarely use the Quick Time options in the Adobe Media Encoder but nonetheless, I have in the past. I was called on today to export a Quick Time of a video for a Mac using client and every time I selected an Adobe preset under Quick Time, 'Custom' would appear where it should normally say something like 'Source to Download 256' or whatever. (Sorry I can't check now, I'm rendering a big project). So no matter what preset I picked, I'd get 'Custom' appearing as my choice. Is this normal or has something gone wrong in the innards!?
Sorry, I have no other computer to check with Premiere Pro CS3 installed.
Thanks

Thanks for the input. So just to confirm, you're saying that if I choose one of the Adobe Presets under QuickTime, that that setting should STAY visible in the selection box. Yes? Just like the others. Windows Media, Adobe Flash, etc...
Because mine immediately changes to CUSTOM after I make a QuickTime selection. Also, it DOES NOT give me a file size estimate like the others. Does this make sense?
