Adobe Media Encoder not using GPU at all for H.264 encoding

So I have a strange problem, it seems SOUL refuses to use the GPU for transcoding - I have a minute 9 4 k file I need to transcode and it takes more than an hour on a very fast machine. I tried other formats and files of that specific file and nothing does the GPU at all (using GPU - Z to monitor the load). Specifically trying to get DNxHR or DNxHD files in H.264 VBR 2 pass codec

Machine: hex 3960K core i7 core cpu - GPU installed: ti 980 GTX / GTX 1080 - 64 GB RAM Win 10 64 pro

-First pro uses the GPU (actually 1080) for CUDA acceleration video

-J' tried to disable 1080 GTX in Nvidia with SOUL Panel (setting preference CUDA at 980ti, as I know, pascal is perhaps not compatible yet)

-J' original CC, no luck tried versions of SOUL

-J' tried transcoding other types of files in the case where this was a problem of specific file (animation, cineform, etc.) no luck

My gut tells me it's maybe a CUDA or OpenCL / OpenGL / DLL problem.

I had CUDA installed 8.0 for use with Octane render, but uninstalled and it makes no difference

maybe try a CUDA 7.0 installation? that would help? Any other suggestions?

Hello tstopdigital420,

Is the GTX 980ti supported for H.264 encoding in Adobe Media Encoder or not? I thought I had read that it was, but maybe I'm wrong. IF not I'll talk accordingly.

Parenthesis - anyone knows of other software that supports rendering GPU accelerated by CUDA h.264?

I think you're under the false impression that the GPU speeds up encoding H.264 exports. It does not, but is a feature that is often requested.

Encoding is a process that focuses on the CPU in Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder. The GPU accelerates certain elements in the entire export process, but not the encoding itself.

The GPU will accelerate what follows in the export process: scaling, conversion of the image, blending modes, deinterlacing and color space conversion. The GPU will also speed up the processing of GPU based video effects, including the effect of color Lumetri.

Example:

  • If you are encoding a file of 4K in a file of HEVC H.265 4 K, the GPU acceleration is not involved in the export process because no scaling has been used.
  • If you are encoding a file of 4K in a file, H.264 HD, GPU acceleration is involved in the export process, because the scale was necessary.

If your GPU is disabled or "grayed out" and he has capable specifications, then this is another problem of troubleshooting.

Thank you
Kevin

  • Export media does not respect changing the bitrate for H.264

    I have a problem weird etremely where I can't change the bitrate of export for a video in the H.264 format.  In fact, I can't change, but then when I export to adobe media encoder change is not respected.

    For example, I have a video that I exported to 9 Mbps.  I would like to reduce the file size of coding to 6 Mbit/s, so I change settings and re-export however the change is not reflected in adobe media encoder.  Still, it encodes video to 9 Mbps?

    I use Premiere CS4.  Anyone who has ever run into that?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.

    You want to encode using CBR?  If so, change the bit rate for bit rate target in the VBR settings, then switch to CBR.  This should work for you.

  • Adobe Media Encoder - .wmv not export so much?

    I use Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on a Windows 7 computer.  I visited on a Windows Media (.wmv) format, but it is not found in one of the presets or from the format dropdown.  Only F4V, FLV, H.264, H.264 (inheritance) and MP3 are available.

    I can't find any information indicating that I need to install additional codecs, but I think that's the problem.

    Or maybe it's the version of Creative Suite that does not allow for some file formats?

    Anyone?

    Thank you.

    Hi thanser,

    Adobe Media Encoder has all codecs QuickTime, WMV and others if you have any video application like, Premiere Pro, After Effects or SpeedGrade installed because these are royalty bearing codecs and can be turned on if you have video applications installed and activated with the respective serial. If you have the license for Indesign, Illustrator or Photoshop you might not get these codecs. For example, video applications are provided with the suite Master Collection or Production Premium suite and if you have any what further action you can only use the video as a 30 day trial and get these codecs for a limited time.

    Kind regards

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 does not start even

    So here I am at J5 of the complete installation of CS5.5 (after the trial period, during which all worked fine) and every day there was a new challenge. Today, Adobe Media Encoder simply does not work. Not trying to do an export of the body and not only by himself, either. I get a screen to start for a few seconds, then it goes away and I get notification that it has stopped working. System restart has not cured it. This isn't a game-stopper, inasmuchas I can still import a sequence of the organism to After Effects and export from there. But certainly, I would use the TEA. I also tried to use the "Export" button in the window of the Organization export settings. Fortunately, it also works.

    My first instinct was to try an uninstall / reinstall of SOUL, but I found that uninstalling SOUL is not an option. I'm guessing that this is part of another application, eventually the body, but I don't know.

    What do you say?

    I had a problem with Media Encoder smoking during startup and the problem was corrupted preferences.   I remember well, it's that there is a key that you can press and hold while starting Media Encoder (maybe the Alt key) which will put it on and reset all proferences.   This cured my problem.  Hope you also helps.

  • The installed Adobe Media Encoder product has not been activated.

    My Adobe Media Encoder CS4 worked perfectly.

    I exported even a video one morning and afternoon, he refused and gave me the following message:

    "Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS4.". The installed Adobe Media Encoder product has not been activated.

    Please launch and activate this Adobe product before continuing to use Media Encoder"

    I reinstalled a couple of times, but nothing has changed.

    I uninstalled and installed CS5, it launched once and then gave me the same message all over again.

    I even tried to install it on another computer and it gives me the same result.

    I have worked on this video more a month, and I can not export it.

    Can anyone help? I have a deadline to meet

    Thank you very much

  • EError: "CEAP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Adobe Media Encoder is not installed.

    I have a license for Adobe software company. I use Premiere Pro 2015 and after effects CC CC 2015.  Today, I had a problem with a file with Premiere Pro MP2.  So I saw something and ran "Updates", hoping that would solve the problem.  I don't know what he did, but he fell into After Effects.  When you try to export a lower third project, I got the following error: ' CEAP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Adobe Media Encoder is not installed.

    How Adobe Media Encoder to settle (a part of the PP or AE)? I also found a URL where I could download an AE "update" - who was running and I get an error saying "the patch is not applicable to you.  I think through this process somehow Adobe Media Encoder has been uninstalled and reinstalled with PP or AE.

    Gweedozedo,

    Rendering inside of Premiere Pro.  Now that you ask, I think that I tried to use the option queue and I get an error.

    Probably, your IT Department do not have the correct version of the creative cloud to your computer. There are two different types of installations: one who wears this royalty bearing codecs (you need) and those who are not, which gives you errors when exporting. Talk to your IT Department to install the correct version of the creative cloud.

    If this isn't the case, please uncheck this answer as being correct and let us know what your problem or if you still need help.

  • I use Adobe CC licensed software, I can download and install Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2?

    I use Adobe CC licensed software, I can download and install Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2?

    Yes.
    But before current verion of the SOUL (CC) to do so, you had to download and install one of the programs associated/connected with the SOUL. To download, install and use SOUL version 7.2 tou will need to download and install AE CC or agency CC (2013 edition - first edition of the CC) and with any of these SOUL should install also.

    Hope this has been helpful - yf you have any other question, I'll be more than happy to help you. If my post has resolved your problem - please mark as correct - by practice that will help you find the answer to all those who have the same problem.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I have a CC 2015 and love it.  Before that, I had CS5.5 and AE CC 2014.  My problem is with AE CC 2014 (and Media Encoder 2014).  (Both together)

    As I remember, when I bought the script of 1 year for 2015 of CC, I had both AE CC 2014 and 2015 CC AE who would work at the same time.  They are both still, except for one big problem:

    AE CC 2014, when I go to: Composition > add to Adobe Media Encoder queue it comes up with an ERROR...

    CEAP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Adobe Media Encoder is not installed.  Please download and install it to use this feature.  Go to https://creative.adobe.com/apps.   (5027: 12)

    Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 and 2015 are both installed and are working correctly.  What do I need to reinstall AE CC 2014 (comes with Adobe Media Encoder 2014) again?  If Yes, where and how can I get the old verson 2014 to reinstall?

  • ROSS XPression Video Codec doesn't show is not in the drop-down list Adobe Media Encoder Video Codec

    I installed the ROSS XPression video Codec 5.7 on my computer, but Adobe Media Encoder does not see this codec in its list of video Codec available. Any suggestions on how to get this to appear in my video Codec codec pull down?

    Dave,

    Send me an email ([email protected]) with your version of XPression and I'll send you a link to the XPression Video Codec... In addition, you are on the Ross Video forums (community video Ross|) Homepage) for XPression? This is a place to share info and questions about all things Ross Video and XPression. Combined with this forum for Adobe, and I think you'll have a powerful set of user communities to look on...

  • Adobe Media Encoder is not installed, but it is

    So I just bought Creative Cloud and began trying to figure how to use After Effects today.

    I imported a movie and added some text animations and I am trying to export the video to the Media Encoder, but I get the following error.

    CEAP Plugin AEDynamicLInkServer : Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature. Go to https://creative.adobe.apps . (5027: 12)

    When I click 'OK', I get the following message:

    CEAP Plugin AEDynamicLinkServer: Unable to connect to Adobe Media Encoder. (5027: 12)

    So I don't really know what to do because I just started using After Effects but I would like comments on how to solve this problem, because I would be able to love to export a video at any given time.

    The rendering engine is installed, but whenever I try to open it nothing happens, but After Effects opens again. At one point, I had four After Effects to open at a time and didn't know it.

    If it's important, I installed the plugin CUDA.

    So if someone could give me some information or support on this subject I would be very happy.

    Thank you.

    After Effects version 13.5.1 comes out.  This version solves this problem.

  • Adobe Media Encoder does not wait state

    Processor: Intel Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU queue 6600 to 2.40 GH Z

    Memory: 8.00 GB

    System type: 64-bit Operating System

    Operating system: Microsoft System 7 Ultra

    When you transfer a video of 1 minute 11 seconds of Adobe Premier Pro Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 5.5, the file is located in the Media Encoder for hours in the waiting state and never complete.

    All my software Adobe is up to date. How can I fix this problem?

    The status "pending" indicates that the work is ready to be encoded. From CS5.5, default SOUL does not start the queue processing automatically. Instead, he's waiting to start the encoding by clicking on the button start the queue at the top right of the window - it seems that the play button on a media player or editing app. Watch Folders are an exception to this rule: the jobs that come through watched folders starts automatically by default.

    You have the option to have the SOUL to start coding automatically. To do this, check the "queue start automatically when idle for minutes" and set the desired timeout.
