script: Add to the adobe media encoder

Hello guys!

Tout d’abord félicitations les nouveautés et le badass look d’After Effects. I really enjoy!

But I'm really disappointed to see that the function of rendering h264 has disappeared. Who really destroyed my workflow boom!

Because I have a lot of jobs for a show room, where I very often do 360 degree projection mappings and the overall resolution there are approximately 26 000 width px. What we do, because we're using watchout as reading system and the management of all the projectors, is splitting h264 movies to their maximum width resolution. The things is that for example for an event we have around 20 to 30 animations and 1 animation is divided into 6 movies... What we did usually - we wrote a little script that automatically splits the film in 6, dial before all, align them all and returns all videos with predefined parameters h264. So... my question is now... How can I modify my script and configure it to send all the comps pre composed, resized, aligned, new to Adobe Media Encoder and use a h264 predefined make the adjustment? I couldn't find any more info on the bridge between AE and Media Encoder script.

See you soon,.

Marin

PS: I know that we can use Final Cut Pro or Motion for resolution of the h264... but it's a kind of workflow I had used to work... everything happens in a single application... and no annoying hundred times save slot, not made in the form etc.

Hello sailor,

It is true that it is a pain to manage outside EI h.264 encoding.  You can write a script that calls the app.executeCommand () function and passes the code that calls the "add to Adobe Media Encoder queue... "under menu Composition of AE.  OK, digital, code for this command is 3800.  So you would simply browse the comps you wanted and then open them in the main Viewer using the method. openInView() that brings them into focus for say.  Once it is open you can then send the SOUL model with app.executeCommand (3800).  On the side of the SOUL, you need a default template to render output parameters you want.  When your script adds a model to the queue of the SOUL, it will take these parameters.

Now, you could do all this, but have you seen AEmpeg than aescripts posted yesterday?  It allows you to 100s of codecs using ffmpeg right of AE.  While it costs money, at least it will open the door to a streamlined workflow and a variety of codecs you might need.

  • 'Add to the Adobe Media Encoder queue' missing

    Does anyone know why my version of AE CS6 doesn't have the option "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue"? http://t.co/UFTfFXN8VL

    The Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue command is new after effects CC; There is no in After Effects CS6 or earlier versions. The command is available under both the file > export and Composition of menus. The keyboard shortcut is CTRL + Alt + M (Windows) or CMD + Opt + M (Mac).

    To add a model of EI to the queue of the SOUL in CS6, you can do the following (which also works in AE and SOUL CC):

    1. Drag one or more comps in the AE project Panel to Panel line of SOUL. (Save your project first.)
    2. Drag the Office AE project file in the queue of SOUL Panel. Choose a unique model, and then click OK.
    3. In the SOUL, open the Add Source dialog box: Choose file > Add Source OR click the Add Source button (plus sign) in the queue Panel OR double click in the empty area of the SOUL queue Panel. Choose the AE project file, click Open, and then choose a unique model and click OK.
    4. In the SOUL, choose file > add After Effects Composition. Choose the project file AE on the left side of the dialog box, and then choose one or more compositions on the right side.

    I need help here?

    When you try to encode on Vista 3.2 first encode media Adobe (SOUL) comes goes off and crashes.

    Looked to the error log that lives in the

    \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\AMEEncodingErrorLog.txtuserC:\Users\

    Make sure that you've seen on hidden files to look for this file...

    OK the file "Adobe Media Encoder" is not on my machine... It seems that the installation is FUBAR.

    I have check the CS3 Master Collection distribution - I do not see a module for Adobe Media Encoder reinstall.

    So my question is. How can I reinstall "Adobe Media Encoder" for the collection of CS3?

    Does anyone have a clue as how to do this?

    How can I reinstall Adobe Media Encoder CS3?

    Which event viewer had to say, particularly the Applications and System tab? Clues? If the program crashes, or suspended, there should be a track. You should see the right messages, when it launches, and then some kind of a warning or error message.

    I forgot which version of Vista you are running, 32 or 64? Did you install the CS3.0.2 update (I think you mentioned that you did)?

    Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. Many have had no problem in running CS3.0.2 on Vista-32. I remember no launch of SOUL with CS3, but my memory problems, it's not what it was once. SOUL just opened and worked for almost everyone.

    One last question: would it be possible that SOUL launch, but its window is being obscured in some way? Have you been double monitors unique? PrPro, you can reset your window > workspace to one of the default values?

    Man, I scrape "the bottom of the barrel" here, but trying to think of what could be wrong.

  • Different plan back color between the composition and rendering after adobe media encoder

    I discovered after effect...

    I have a problem of correspondence between the composition and the final rendering through adobe media encoder

    The color of the background composition of Loire (regardless of color) and always a background BLACK after the adobe media encoder

    After 2.jpgAfter 3.jpg

    Despite several manipulations by changing the settings I can't solve the problem.

    A little help would be welcome, thanks

    The composition background color will never surrender.  Hug composition background color will never, not even with the record locator.  The background is transparent and will always be unless you fill it with pixels. Unless you choose a format that supports Alpha channels, Alpha channels will make always black. Media players will always play a movie with a black background with alpha channel. If you want a yellow background, you will need a solid yellow or yellow shape on the bottom of your model layer.

    When I go to export and the Adobe Media Encoder queue I get this message: Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature. Go to https://creative.adobe.apps

    But the thing is, SOUL IS installed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled SOUL CC 2015. Is it possible to link these two programs? I know that I'm missing the obvious answer.

    I just downloaded ALL the new 2015 CC updates yesterday (06/17/15). I'm not using first CC 2015 because I didn't have time to put in place the way I still love.


    I appreciate any help you have. Thank you!

    To the queue of Premiere Pro to the SOUL, versions must match between these applications.  Thus, you need to install the first Pro CC 2015 in order to SOUL CC2015 queued.  First Pro CC2014 links only to the SOUL CC2014.

  • Adobe Media Encoder ruins the quality of mi video

    Hello, I have a video motion graphics in After Effects, I turned in png and AE import to add the final touch and when I make ir with SOUL with the 720 p preset Android Tablet and it always make a section specific look terrible pixelated. -Why, I even tried encoding just only PNGs and still it.

    I am tired of this b/c peset I want my file is not to heavy. The Youtube HD 720 preset works great but my file is more than 200 MB.

    How could I make the Tablet Android peset work or get a lower encoded file?

    Thank you

    Could see us a screenshot or a video example to better understand your problem?

    Use the pre-selection Android tablet, but put the maximum bitrate up to 8 and the target up to 4.

    If your AE project is a bit heavy, make an intermediate file (QuickTime with the PNG codec, for example) and then use it in Adobe Media Encoder so you can try different rates of compression parameters and data without having to render it again your full composition of the AE every time.

  • 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.

  • Add vorbis ogg/ogv theora to Adobe Media Encoder

    This question comes to me from time to time:

    How to add vorbis ogg/ogv theora to Adobe Media Encoder

    Adobe Media Encoder makes it easy to code anything (video stand-alone files, PremierePro, After Effects, Photoshop exports). It allows multiple output file and sound make interface, it is not so easy to understand, you're wondering why everything done the same way.

    The great part about this is that I can build a preset and let SOUL works in the background on any videofile I need, even queuing of dozens of films.

    But.

    From time to time, I do the web, formats html5 videos asked as mp4, webm (less now) sometimes and ogg. I would like to start a queue file, or just a small preset and leaves SOUL do both. Except that I can't export files de.ogg/.ogv of the SOUL.

    When I look for answers, the very little answers is:

    -go and ask on the feature request page (as I did today, twice, since I couldn't find a thread dedicated to SOUL)

    -use an external converter free

    -We cannot because licensing forbids you to include this free codec inside a commercial product (without to release all the source as free license, which you don't want, and I understand that).

    -.ogg/.OGV are not "professional video formats" do not answer or help pro...

    -What is firefox/mozilla/linux?... etc.

    Now, what I'm doing (really) and invite others to do:

    -Fill out this feature request (a simple "I need video codecs html5 included with TEA or a simple guide on how to do", "I need to include different formats, fast, this one tool", even put the link of this thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1239632 ), so that they know back (and blame me later on that))

    -Use external converters

    -Spread the word.

    -find answers.

    -find someone who could explain in English (I could translate in french if the solution seems feasible) how to proceed, what are the ways to add that.

    WARNING: I am NOT a developer, so there is no chance that I have "change" in available sources of the format/encoders available for free. But I CAN follow the steps.

    If someone from adobe or users have answers, ideas that I forgot, don't hesitate.

    I saw your post and the other talking about Ogg support at first. I thought it would be pretty easy to do, and it was! Download here:

    http://www.fnordware.com/downloads/Ogg_v0.5b1_mac.zip

    http://www.fnordware.com/downloads/Ogg_v0.5b1_win.zip

    In fact, it was so fast, I decided to add support of FLAC as well. That could be a mistake. It was much more difficult and in fact I never got properly from Windows. But for Mac users, you support FLAC too.

    Programmers, feel free to help solve the problems of Windows, because this plugin is open source. It's here on GitHub.

  • 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

    Thank you Lord! SOLUTION AT LAST!

    After having been informed by tech adobe support that: "I'm sorry, but this is a file from the base of the core of the system, we cannot do much."

    I decided that I was going to test each component in user accounts and find the culprit manually.

    I have studied everything that I could all kernelbase.dll NTUSER.dat and parameters of the first.

    From what I could gather kernelbase.dll if crushed more often when the 32-bit and 64-bit settings are not configured right.

    I downloaded Registry Explorer 0.7 and analyzed a new vs account a "corrupted".

    I discovered that windows keeps a record of the last access programs via OPEN/SAVE location.

    It is located in:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU\prproj

    To solve the problem:

    It comes to registry changes, do at your own risk!

    1. Create a new user account with admin rights. I'll call it "AdminRescue".
    2. Connection in "AdminRescue" and open first cc, check that the problem has disappeared.
    3. Now you could start using the new account and forget the old, but I find myself that making 3 times in 4 months, the issue will come back again.
    4. The solution is to runREGEDIT under the new account that you created.
    5. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU\prproj
    6. Select prproj and export it to a disk usb or c:\adobefix
    7. Disconnect from the new user account and log in to the old damaged account
    8. Run Regedit
    9. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU\prproj
    10. Select prproj and Delete
    11. Select OpenSavePidMRU and import the regkeys exported in the new account. located in the usb or c:\adobefix
