• Renderer AE CS4 / Adobe Media Encoder will not create a container for h.264 blu - ray

  That is the problem.

  First of all, I tried to make a model using the inside the AE render engine using the blu - ray h.264 preset.

  It was supposed to create 1 file, but I found myself with 3: track audio, video and a file with the extension .xmpses.

  I then decided to make in .mov lossless, which works fine, but 03:40 minutes occupies more than 8 GB, which is obviously unacceptable.

  After that, I put the .mov file in Media Encoder to try h.264 blu - ray there.

  Absolutely the same *.

  I use the Mac in AE CS4 version.

  Here is the screenshot of the original .mov file and the result. As you can see, he refuses to make a container. This is absolutely unacceptable

  

  It raises another question: what settings should I encode the layout in 720 p resolution without taking up a lot of space?

  Well, it depends on if you need a master of production (something for broadcasting, for example, or to use as a source for the other tasks of coding), or if you want a version for distribution. If this is the first, there is nothing wrong with "plenty of room" - A Quicktime file with a PNG or Animation codec is a good idea, but it will take a lot of space. If it is the latter, H264 is perfect, but there is no built-in preset to take 720 material on the web.

  You could do this:

  * Choose the generic H264. You will see that it will give an error if you try to make, since the default setting uses a H264/level profile allowing you to use HD resolutions.

  * In the H264 video options, set the menu 'Profile' to 'Hand' and 'Level' 4.0. That will keep compatible for Quicktime and Flash player, while allowing larger heights and higher rates.

  * If you Webcast addressing the value flow target to 5-8 Mbps and Maximum flow at 9-10 Mbps. It's a little more that Apple uses to 720 p on the Apple TV content, for example.

  The screening of origin H264 will tell you in the comment field to expand to 640 x 480 output Module. It is useless, since you are using a profile/level combination that allows higher heights.

• Audio damage when the file is exported in Adobe Media Encoder queue?

  Hey guys

  Hope you can help me with my problem...

  I'm fairly new work in After Effects, so I might have too have it explained in detail.

  I am currently working on several animations for the customer, where I did the visuals and got audio lying elsewhere...

  There have had no problems with the audio before the lengthening...

  When I play the audio (wav file) new in Quicktime format, there is no problem at all - it's the same for when I play the audio in AE, no problem either...

  BUT when I export the files through Adobe Media Encoder queue (h:264 - mp4) audio is corrupted and when played in Quicktime,.

  the last seconds is played at least twice, just to repeat... I tried with 2 of 5 files, and both were corrupted, with the same error in the end...

  I can't know if the files are corrupt (the guy who fixed them) in a way that he doesn't ' watch that "when files are exported through AMECQ...

  Or if I just do it wrong... I worked at AE for about 5 months, so I don't know yet of all the parameters, etc...

  Hope you can help because it is an urgent task and there is no one else in the office that I work, knows nothing about AE... Haaalp!

  Thank you

  This problem is fixed in update fixes after effects CC 2015.3 (13.8.1). This update, available now, can be installed by using the creative Office Cloud app, or by choosing Help > updates within any Adobe application.

• 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

• Adobe Media Encoder CS4 will not convert video .mov

  Hello

  I have Adobe Media Encoder CS4 installed on my computer and I am trying to convert a .mov video in a format that can be edited on windows movie maker, and when I convert the video converts audio very well, but there is only a black screen. Any ideas as to why this could happen?

  Thanks in advance.

  John Marks

  Right on happy it worked. Now, technically, we could probably use FFmpeg convert these into something that WMM would accept, and you should really be style, then.

  Let's try this: duplicate the BAT file, I sent and replace the name 'mov2avi '. Right-click and select Edit, and then replace the last line with this:

  for %%a in (*.mov) do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vcodec mjpeg -qscale 1 -acodec pcm_s16le -f avi -y "%%~na".avi
  

  Save, and then run it. This will make a larger file, but you should be able to import this right in WMM. Let me know!

  Yes, just downloaded WMM Live 2011 (or whatever it is called) and the import AVI in full. I would certainly recommend that, instead of convert twice.

• Adobe Media Encoder CS4?

  Hello,

  I'm trying to export a project from first pro cs4 via media encoder.  I have my project stored on my D drive info, media encoder says that the source of the info is on the C drive.  I can't understand how to change the source of the Media Encoder files, all settings in first pro show, it is stored on drive D.  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  Did you remove an older version of Pr from this computer?  If the answer is "Yes"; read this:

• Where is the DeInterlace in Adobe Media Encoder CS4?

  How is you video deinterlacing using Adobe Media Encoder CS4? In CS3, there are deinterlacing checkbox in the video output tab but there is not one in CS4?
  
  I use 29.97 FPS 720 x 486 interlace SD images edit and export the final product Flash flv.

  Thank you!

  Joe

  Deinterlacing is now automatically applied if the source and destination are different according to their order of the frames is concerned. In other words:

  • Source--> destination interlaced interlaced = no deinterlacing
  • Progressive source--> progressive destination = no deinterlacing
  • Source interlaced--> progressive destination = automatic deinterlacing

  The order of the fields in the output setting option determines if deinterlacing is applied. Don't forget to check the 'Quality to make Maximum usage' option in the menu. It will take 4 to 5 times more time to make, but with better results.

• Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 slow rendering time

  Hello!

  I'm new to video editing in general, but I'm quite intimate with the PC hardware so here.

  Specifications:

  • The stock of 4770K i7, no thermal regulation speed
  • 8 GB 1600 MHz CL9 DDR3 RAM
  • GTX 780 + 170 MHz clock and 110% limit/95 degrees C temp power target
  • Driver 368.39 used
  • 3 x Samsung 840 EVO (no raid)
    • Windows 10 64-bit running off SSD1
      • PE/AE/SOUL installed on this drive
      • Cache / Scratch areas on this drive
      • Images under development
    • SSD 2
      • Games
    • SSD3
      • Games

  I save images using shadowplay NVIDIA from a 75 Hz screen 2560 x 1080. The output file is a 1920 x 1080 60 fps 35Mbps bitrate H.264 MP4 file. (1920 x 810 with black bars).

  I would add that sequences Adobe Premiere elements 14, do any editing that I have to do, and then export it to a file of bitrate MP4 1080 p H.264 12Mbps. The rendering process usually take around 10-12 minutes to 6 minutes video.

  I then add this file to output in Adobe After effects CC 2015, create a composition with drag and create a button, add a few layers of text and export it via Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 (AE supports native H.264 from what I understand) with the SAME PARAMETERS. But this time, and I estimate that I type here, render times are 40 minutes.

  I ran a few tests and in the course of the first to make the CPU turns to about 80% CPU and the use of 1.8 to 2 GB, as I watch often some youtube in the meantime, so that understandeably not 100%. However, to the course to make AE/SOUL, le CPU CPU remains at about 30% CPU and 1.8 GB ram usage. With the help of the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) I expect to see more high on my GTX 780 loads, but he is 2-3% of load, so anything.

  Since my render outputs are (to the best of my knowledge) identical between the EP and shall return AE/SOUL, it seems that the use of material by SOUL is in this case. Other posters have suggested that some effects require the previous frame to be returned to pass, but I have not used such effects, are limited to simple text.

  So what's happening? I would appreciate any insight you have on this and I stand ready to provide more information that you need.

  Kind regards

  First of all, wow. Thank you so much for the depth and quality of your response! If everyone had that kind of mentality, forums would be a very different place...

  No problem! That's why I'm here.

  It is certainly useful that you said your question clearly, with a lot of info and he asked respectfully. Quantity of, "why his does not work u should help me solve this NAOW! 1. 1. ' messages with no information is astounding.

  I'll try to be to condense my game data on a single disk or both and use the third exclusively for editing. Or I could buy a new one, if the budget allows.

  This would be ideal. In my freelance studio, I have three separate units

  1. OS/software
  2. Footage
  3. Cache (if there are different types of player, it should be faster than you [I know your are currently all the same, it's more for future fans forum])

  It will probably not help much for the rendering speed, but it should help when you're interacting.

  Before moving on to something else, I want to explain what I'm doing with text. I add text and overlay video, with sometimes a few very basic motion tracking (I can't forget this feature if I need). To the best of my knowledge, PE lets just add a black screen with text over time, like on a Blackboard for example. No text overlays/over-the-video (if it has no meaning...). So respect that, Premiere Pro have these features? If so I could make the switch.

  Certainly, you should stop using the Premiere Elements and start using Premiere Pro. Not only it gives MUCH more flexibility in the work, but you can layer objects of type as much as you want on top of your film.

  He was also transparent enough with AE. By example, if you have a shot that you want to add text, you could cut the part that would have text and simply right-click and choose "replace with After Effects composition. That images will be replaced with a dynamic link to a model of EI that already contains the images that you are handling. You save your AE project and results will be displayed immediately on the first! It's really convenient. If you want to keep this direct link, you can. Or if you are sure you are finished with AE work and wants to read smoothly at first, you can choose to make and replace it. It restores an intermediate file to AE and replaces the model tied first with her. VERY useful feature.

  If you keep track of movement, you probably want to use AE. Although you can make an animation in Premiere Pro, AE is much more suited to do. And if you start to get really fancy, you probably want to do some rotoscoping too.

  Corentin Robin wrote:

  I understand that EI requires much more accurately, and the way you explained it enabled me to understand one of the big question I had with her, which was "why reading in real time is so difficult in AE? You answered that perfectly, cheers!

  There is much more detail in the fact that I could get! Basically, AE must first build a cache, and then he reads. Maybe I should have said that. It is even simpler and shorter!

  On the issue of compression, I realized that the work of a compressed codec is not ideal. My gross output of Shadowplay file was indeed H.264 because I believe that is the single output file, it allows. I don't think I can do without shadowplay for now because it has unique characteristics which cannot be replaced:

  • For extremely low hardware with Nvidia drivers
  • Ability to retroactively save a video after an interesting "keep-worthy" event, to avoid recording 24/7 in the hope of something interesting

  Those who do not sound like some very useful features. Just make sure that you get quality settings in the codec to achieve a data rate as it allows.

  Corentin Robin wrote:

  Also, to continue on the issue of compression, I got mixed responses regarding this. Some, like you, would say that working with H.264 sacrifices quality and performance, but some say that it is not a problem since the youtube compression will be severely disfigue the file in any case.

  YouTube can recompress, Yes. But if so, it adds ANOTHER layer of compression. That would be an argument even more important to preserve the quality of your side as much as possible.

  Corentin Robin wrote:

  I think my question would be: I would win a much higher quality using Fraps/Dxtory where I can control the settings of the raw images (keeping in mind I lose the comfort of ShadowPlay) even though the compression of Youtube should (I think?) disfigure this film?

  I think that the benefits of ShadowPlay outweigh the concerns that I had about compression in only one step. I still say don't do any other steps in making H.264s again and again that you transmit your project between applications. If you need to make something (you won't have to if you start to use together the Premiere Pro and AE), renders an intermediate codec until you create your deliverable.

  Corentin Robin wrote:

  So, keeping in mind of all of your suggestions and the constraints I have / has chosen to conform to, I should:

  • Have the work files on a separate disk, with areas scratch on this drive or free
  • Replace PE PP to eliminate the need for the AE and have only a single record
  • Since a single rendition is necessary, it is therefore more a real need for an intermediate codec low compression/lossless

  Yes. Although, you can still use AE, you have eliminated the need to make the intermediate files if you use Premiere Pro and AE set.

  In addition the Dynamic Link workflow I mentioned, you can also (once you have finished your editing in Premiere Pro), your Premiere Pro project import into AE. Use import > import Premiere Pro control project. She puts your complete sequence in AE with each cut on its own layer. You really need to do if you started to do really complex with your AE work if.

• Error: "Quicktime may need to be installed in order to display or to convert the video in Adobe Media Encoder.»

  I'm trying to export a Flash video. I get this message

  "Quicktime may need to be installed in order to display or to convert the video in Adobe Media Encoder."

  Despite the error message, it "seems" and spits a mov file, but only the audio crosses (the video is all black).

  I use Flash Professional CC, but older versions (CS6) seem to have the same problem.

  Some tips on how to export as swf no Flash?

  Thank you!

  I would still choose not to send the video through Adobe Media Encoder, which can stop the error message.

  What is your scenario? Video export cannot export integrated H.264 video. If you do animation and audio to go on top an existing H.264 format video, export, but make sure the alpha box set when exporting. Then, you can combine the old movie H.264 with the animation and the sound you made in Flash.

• When I add my composition to Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it makes it wrong?

  How is it that when I add my composition directly effects to adobe media encoder, it makes out of adobe media encode correctly? I mean, here the video fate a bit scrambled pieces of it overlap other parts. Is this a problem with "dynamic link"? I did something wrong? I work in CC.

  I think you fail to understand what is said. When you add one composition to another, add a composition with a red background for a composition with a blue background, red background goes away and the blue background is preserved, not vice versa. Select the transparency grid and you will see the blue background disappears and you see the transparency. It has always been this way since you were able to select a color background in AE there nearly 20 years.

  When you render a lossless without alpha format and the color is defined prior multiplied (red in your example) background color is multiplied with the alpha pre giving you a red background in your render lossless. If you add your Main Comp to the TEA and you have no option for pre multiply the alpha channel, so it is ignored and you end up with a black background. If you change the output settings in the SOUL to something like JPEG 2000 and 32-bit or 32-bit PNG, you will get a straight alpha channel, the industry standard, and a black background. If you choose a codec which does not support alpha channels, you get just a black background.

  I guess what I'm trying to say is that everything works exactly as it was designed to work, and the only reason why you found the red background of your comps background color when you return a lossless with alpha multiplied pre, is that the background color is meadow multiplied with the bottom. In a normal production pipeline it is assumed you want to preserve the transparency throughout the production process. Multiplying the background color is useful in a scenario very little. More than 40 years the realization of films and creating special effects and composites (yes I did in a lab with the movie) I have never used an alpha pre multiplied with a background colored except in a situation of class in order to demonstrate that it is. Here's how you can see with a multiplied pre alpha is. :

  Rotate your model nested 30º in order to have some aliasing then try rendering your comp with the lossless with alpha preset and keep premultiplied lit for the alpha channel. Look carefully at the embattled edges and you will see a red mixed in on the edges. You can also use the lossless and then restore an alpha only, together the alpha only made as matte to make without loss and you will see the Red edges once again. Use straight alpha and the edges disappear. Here is this that rendered Lossless with alpha and multiplied pre gives you.

  

  So, assuming you still want to maintain complete transparency in the production pipeline that everything works as it should with one exception, the settings default lossless with alpha should probably be for default rendering right alpha then people who are not familiar with the use of alpha channels and a standard production pipeline would not be caught. As I said in the first place, this isn't a bug, it is normal for a production pipeline. Do not understand how AE or any other composition app handles alpha channels, that's what attracted to you. If you want a background color, add a solid. The only reason forever the background color of a black everything except model value is for those rare occasions where you might want to throw some color in the alpha edges.

• Compressor4 vs Adobe Media Encoder

  I don't seem to get an answer in the compressor section, so I ask the section FCPX see if I get an answer here.

  There was a lot of studies have been made and some of them very detailed. So many numbers out there and different situations, but I would like to know the bottom line, which publishers prefer Adobe or Apple. Critics are in the Apple store mixed application. Online instead of adobe some say, the quality is almost the same Blue Ray on a DVD, but its process faster with Adobe Media Encoder.

  Thank you

  In my view, there are a number of Final Cut Studio forumparticipants who regularly use more Adobe. You can post here if you do not get the answer you're hoping for.

  Larry Jordan has made a few comparisons and published the here.

• Cannot open preferences of Adobe Media Encoder

  I have a problems with the encoding, so tried several relocations. Finally managed to do work by removing only not preferences on reinstall it. However, I am still unable to open the preferences. I'm going to Media Encoder CC > Preferences... and nothing happens. It's using the latest version of SOUL CC (2015.3) on Mac OS El Capitan (10.11.6). Everyone knows this?

  Hi Jayne,

  You have an external monitor connected?

  Also, try the following steps:

  Go to the following locations:

  1 location: In the Finder, click go > go to folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

  Situation 2: Go > go to folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe

  Location 3: Documents > Adobe

  Everywhere, rename the folders 'Adobe' to 'OldAdobe '.

  Launch Adobe Media Encoder, accept the license agreement and see if it works.

• Adobe Media Encoder - General encoding problem

  I've just updated yesterday first and Adobe Media Encoder and experiencing major issues with the SOUL.

  In short, I'm trying to convert a video into ProRes 1920 x 1080 for a H264 for web, something I've done a thousand times. Although, I can't start the queue. When I click the 'green' or press 'return' nothing happens...

  I tried other source files, adjusted the format/screening/way out to many different settings/paths and restarted my computer several times and the software... Yet, I still cannot start the queue with ANY file/setting.

  I use first and SOUL for over 4 years now and have never had a problem like this... Help!

  It seems that your preferences has been corrupted somehow. Could share you with us?

  They are located in the folder "Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder.

• Adobe Media Encoder crashes on Windows 10

  A week ago, I "upgraded" to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro and now...

  In my Premiere Pro CS3 (I know, I know, why am I not spend a ton on an upgrade of the CC...).

  When I'm ready to export a sequence, and select Adobe Media Encoder, I get one almost

  immediate crash and the popup says: "sorry, a serious error has occurred which requires.

  Adobe Premiere Pro to stop.  We will try to save your current project".

  Everything on my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection worked perfectly

  with Windows 7, but go back to Windows 10 is not an option.

  I am running a Dell XPS 8100 Intel i7, 8 GB of memory, 64-bit operating system.  Should be enough

  horsepower!

  Thus, Adobe has a 'fix', and/or the community of users has a method/work around

  that I could use?  For now, my only option is to export an AVI 'Movie.... ', but I

  was happy with Adobe Media Encoder and I want much she's still running.

  Suggestions?  Miracles?

  Thank you!

  Hi Johnnie_D,

  I apologise for this inconvenience, but I'm not sure if the CS3 products are compatible for Windows 10 or not.

  Because Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 was launched in 2007, Adobe does not any further development on this version of Premiere Pro.

  In addition, Windows 10 was launched in 2015 and only creative cloud products have been tested with this operating system.

  My suggestion would be to re - install the Premiere Pro and SOUL on this machine.

  Otherwise, use it on Windows 7.

  Thank you
