Adobe Media Encoder Beginner Tutorial

[@mattjaku]

Didn't know what Media Encoder was used for until I watched this video. Thanks for the information!

[@SurfacedStudio]

You are welcome! Glad to hear you liked the video :)

[@davidmoore7115]

Very comprehensive, concise and exemplary tutorial. Such clarity is rare. Thank you!

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you for the positive feedback :) Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Obliviatora]

This told me 100% what I needed. Well done. Love the no-bullshit straight-to-point approach.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you for the comment - that is great to hear :D

[@NumberPlate]

awesome man. but im not able to download adobe audition and media encoder .can you help me !!!

[@SurfacedStudio]

It gets installed when you install Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe After Effects from the Creative Cloud

[@NumberPlate]

@@SurfacedStudio Yes it got downloaded but while im trying to open it. its showing as potential virus warning for video Encoder and application error for Adobe Audition.

[@diabllo68]

Great, thank you. Starts 1.35, how it integrates with Premier and queue function. Start encoding 4.25. & drag and drop files directly in. 8.30 watch folders

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad to hear you liked the tutorial!

[@colinmagee6648]

wow, great work. my issue is i cant seem to get the gopro footage to convert properly. i just get audio. I have tried many things without success

[@tusharsawant6987]

Good Information and really thanks for this.......As I am not the video editor.....but want to export only the file for theater video size...cause some video editor not in good in audio sync...so plz tell me that...how to create or export video file for DCP FILE....from adobe premiere...for theater release..?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you! Unfortunately I have never exported files for theatre before so your best bet might be to contact the theatres and enquiry about what format / resolution / codec they want the files to be in - you should be able to then select those options in the options for your custom preset :)

[@RENOC09]

Golden Gratitude. To keep editing with encoding in the background is the wonder of grail. No need for bigger and better computers, maybe. Regards, Chris

[@SurfacedStudio]

:) Adobe Media Encoder is pretty darn useful, that's for sure

[@garypranzo9334]

Is their a way around the rendering of audio previews before it actually begins to render the file.

[@BrianxStephanie]

Amazing why did I just find this video! Just started our KZbin Channel and this certainly will come very handy Thanks!

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D Thank you for the awesome comment!

[@JosephMyLife]

Do you have any idea how to get youtube to keep a good quality of your video after they re encode it? I'm using a GoPro hero 7 and after KZbin gets a hold of my videos they are ruined quality wise. pixilated etc.

[@SurfacedStudio]

That depends on so many things it's hard to say. I export everything in H264 codec, usually around 30 Mbps and that holds up OK. Do note that the quality improves over time due to caching and the file being send across the world depending on number of views, etc

[@hostellersproduction1872]

sir, would please show how to export videos in after effects cc 2017? Thank you.

[@SurfacedStudio]

I cover exporting in my absolute beginner series on After Effects (applies to all version): kzbin.info/aero/PLs2aOcA-EaLN1TwemqyxdjTg2puGtwvkQ

[@danielwilson1105]

nice video. but, im getting a black screen when trying to encode into a different format. have changed the renderer to software only, but, nothing...

[@panthergames2925]

this great job can i ask question i done have on media encoder you tube or vimeo one know why this problam with project or media can help me with that

[@SurfacedStudio]

?? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. You're saying you just don't have the presets? Maybe you're on an older version?

[@panthergames2925]

yea its version 2020@@SurfacedStudio

[@SurfacedStudio]

You may need to reach out to Adobe. Unfortunately I'm not sure which version introduced / included which presets - but you can also just create your own if you don't have them :)

[@wildbitshomestead8811]

thanks for making this video, extremely helpful! ive been editing video for years and had no idea how helpful media encoder could be. Ill never go back now.

[@SurfacedStudio]

You're very welcome, thank you very much for your comment :) Glad you liked the video!

[@MichaelCavanaughVideo]

That was very helpful! Thank you!

[@SurfacedStudio]

Great to hear, thank you :)

[@Aussienicko]

Thanks for the tutorial and for not boring the heck out of me like the last video I watched form someone else.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thanks for the feedback. Nice to hear I'm not boring the heck out of people :D

[@whipitstudio]

Good day Tobias, I really think you should put a tutorial together, explaining how to use the search option within KZbin.

[@SurfacedStudio]

+whip-it studio ... I don't think that's really worth a tutorial. It's literally: 1. type text 2. press enter 3. see results

[@whipitstudio]

+Surfaced Studio thats what I thought but week after week I read posts asking you to make a tutorial that you already spent 20 plus hours creating and uploading for free. Apparently "There is a video for that " and " We already did that sh$t" hasnt helped either channel so I can only conclude that the search option is much more complex than compositing/ filmaking. A search tutorial would demistify this sly search option and will open the door for many.

[@SurfacedStudio]

I do appreciate the feedback :) However, I don't think it's a problem with the complexity or me pointing people to it - most people simply don't use it and no amount of content I'd make on the issue is likely going to change that XD

[@roxasfroslass3726]

Very infromative and it's nice to know about this. Just one question though, if I have one same Premiere project in which I export several videos, can the encoder do all the jobs if it is the same project???

[@raduantoniu]

Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@SurfacedStudio]

You're welcome :)

[@sportsbuzz1242]

can you encode and while it's encoding can you edit the project you are exporting without the export changing? Thanks

[@SurfacedStudio]

As long as you don't save the project I believe Media Encoder will pick up the project with the last save

[@gwolt]

Tobi, you are the MAN!

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D

[@TheRealMTR]

I can't believe I've been doing KZbin videos for years and I didn't know about this

[@SurfacedStudio]

You learn something new everyday :) I use Media Encoder a LOT - almost all of my exports from Premiere and After Effects go through it

[@SWADEProductions]

do you have a tut on the distortion effect for your text? Love your videos!

[@SurfacedStudio]

+SWADE Productions No I don't, I only recently switched over to the new style :) It's done using a displacement effect and some pixelated footage

[@SWADEProductions]

+Surfaced Studio is that in after effects or plug in?

[@SurfacedStudio]

All done in AE

[@LiyuConberma]

I actually have both of the softwares, but in my After Effects, there isn't a button for transferring the file to the encoder. I could drag the file to the encoder just fine though. Is that some kind of setting I'm not aware of?

[@Drcalatayud]

Thanks Tobias, you make very useful tutorials, without useless information and my time is well spend. :D

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad to hear you're enjoying my tutorials!

[@TechPodge]

Great work - very helpful tips!

[@Cringe.gaming]

Can encoder reduce your file size on finished videos?

[@arrowregime7486]

Amazing tutorial, I never knew what media encoder was but now I'm going to use it like crazy!

[@SurfacedStudio]

It's a pretty nifty tool :)

[@chrisdiontewalker2769]

Your tutorials are always helpful! Can't wait to see more!

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Chris Dionté Walker Thank you!

[@warringalice3980]

great video. new to adobe. bought the monthly cc. trying to learn as much as possible. wanting to do more videos on KZbin etc. question, do you know if there is an adobe program to live stream to KZbin live????

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you :) I'm on CC as well. Adobe does not offer any live streaming programs (not their market). Check out OBS (free and great) or even XSplit (fancier, but costs money)

[@warringalice3980]

man, fast reply. thanks for the heads up. looking for easy way to go live that looks really good without a ton of money and easy to hook up. just bought a Canon 80D can not believe it doesn't stream straight to a pc. now i have to buy an interface too.

[@SurfacedStudio]

I don't believe there's an easy way to 'stream' from a DSLR. Some models have clean HDMI output that you can capture, but you may have to screen record it off your computer to put it into something like an OBS stream

[@harmonyikennajames4100]

Bro!, You're the best

[@SurfacedStudio]

Right back at ya! 🤜

[@drakoignis2]

Hi i have cc 2017 but my render at encore its so slow. and i belive i have a great laptop. Can you tell how to configure it? thanks.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Are you talking about Encore or Media Encoder? Encoding speed will depend both on your computer as well as the codec / quality you decided to encode your video in and the source file / size. There is no option to 'make it fast' other than changing your settings to something that is less taxing on your computer :)

[@philiprahman6778]

Well explained. Thank you very much.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad to hear you liked it!

[@kristjan1757]

Hey, Do you have a tip about MD CC2018-19 pls? into the media browser panel I have selected local driver D. From there I click on my folder and click on my project , This one last opened into the right side of media browser panel....The problem is that I cannot delete the folder opened in the right side of media browser panel ! I selected all staff ctrl+A > press Delete button, but nothing happen

[@engineoilgames3041]

Amazing and thats how i started using encoder.

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D

[@chartrechant]

I am using a camera that shoots in interlace only. Do I need to de-interlace all my clips before uploading to you tube or vimeo? If so, How can I use Media encoder to de-interlace and change the source to progressive before I upload to the web.

[@juanfranciscotejada9460]

thank you man! I left a coment one one of your videos about media encoder. Your tutorials are very good, they are fun and simple :D

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you, glad you're enjoying them!

[@blakehendrickson5191]

Great video, but I am still stuck with an issue. I have Adobe Creative Cloud (2017). I am using After Effects and Mocha. When I click on my clip to track motion using Mocha AE it does not find the image source. Perhaps I could use Media Encorder and change the preset. I'm really confused on this, so please try your best to explain why Mocha AE is not working for me. Thank you.

[@SurfacedStudio]

You could try converting the video format, but not sure that's the issue. Try clearing your media cache and the Mocha cache. If the issue persists you may have to contact Imagineer for technical support

[@GeorgeGarciaobi-gueygarcia]

after setting up your watch folder is they a way to automatically delete the original file? I want to keep the converted mp4 and delete the .mov

[@SurfacedStudio]

I don't think there's an automatic way to delete files in AME - I think Adobe didn't want to go there for obvious reasons

[@matinsveismans]

can this work with other editing software for example movie maker or camtasia

[@SurfacedStudio]

You can convert any media file as long as it's one of the standard formats supported. However, directly exporting from your program (e.g. Dynamic Link) will only work with other Adobe products

[@nikostsidilas5529]

i watch the video ita was great, but how i can add menu to my movie?

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Nikos Tsidilas I have never made a DVD before so I can't answer that

[@DonWhoe-SuperHot]

Qustion..... Can you take 0ne 30 minute video and chop it up in to 3 10 minute clips in encore and then encode the separately?? so i will have for example 3 mp4 clips in my output folder?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Sorry, I haven't used Encore before. You can certainly do that in Premiere Pro though and then export/encode the clips separately using AME

[@naomimanzana8205]

Wow this tool is a genie in a lamp, tell it what to do and it will get the job done :) Thanks for making this really helpful tutorial!

[@SurfacedStudio]

No worries, glad to hear you found it useful

[@Atomic67G]

You have the best tutorials I've ever seen. You are an excellent teacher. One question please, if I use KZbin 1080p preset is there a way to have it encode for KZbin but not post it? I screen record games for my KZbin channel with bandicam. Bandicam files are massive so I use an app called Handbrake first to code and compress the video before I edit it Adobe Premiere. I would love to encode using Adobe instead of Handbrake.

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Eustace Pharmer Whether you choose to upload to KZbin is up to you. I never upload directly from Media Encoder

[@player197SD]

Can you change the export path (Output File) for Multiple individual videos all at once? That would be so helpful, but I cant figure out how to do that.

[@angadsingh3203]

hello! i am facing a huge problem of quality loss while editing Videos shot on my One plus 3t , at my pc using premier pro.Please suggest the correct presets and settings to edit or covert video formats using encoder or premier pro so quality and crispness of the footage remains intact.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Unfortunately there isn't really a 'correct' preset, only something that will work for you - and that depends on the footage you have. I personally like to use H264 or H265 at fairly high bit rates, but they are lossy formats. In the end you will have to try different options to find something that keeps your quality and doesn't blow out your file size

[@xxdevillexx]

hi! how do you make the video keep its quality while reducing the file size? thanks!

[@FakhrulHAKIM37]

This is what i want to know about...

[@neverfailing6537]

Please is there a way I can attach an image to my mp3 audio file in adobe media encoder ?

[@SurfacedStudio]

? Do you mean like a CD cover for a song? That's more a concern for an audio program (like WinAmp) rather than media encoder I believe. Check this out: itstillworks.com/12589303/how-to-add-cover-art-to-mp3-metadata

[@neverfailing6537]

Surfaced Studio thank you so much

[@GiDi22H]

Well done nice easy tutorial. Thanks

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad you liked it!

[@ngabi1103]

Hi ! I'm watching you for a while and I really like your videos, but can you tell me the sound effect you used in your intro : 0:41 , when the text has that "welding" effect , I don't really know how to explain. I hope you understand ^^ . (sorry for grammer mistakes)

[@SurfacedStudio]

+GABELEKTRO It's a mix of various different sound effects. I usually get mine from freesound: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17HZZpjhtR7e9k

[@ngabi1103]

+Surfaced Studio Thank you for replying me! You helped me a lot ! ^^ Have a perfect day, sir !

[@gislehillesund1694]

What program do you use for recording the screen from Your PC?

[@SurfacedStudio]

I use Movavi Screen capture :)

[@AkshayMudakavi]

hey i have my computer and a different high configured rendering pc so can i edit on my pc and render on the render pc , so that i can keep work on next project if yes, then how?

[@chartokai]

+Akshay Mudakavi You can but it's not a feature of media encoder. If you transfer or copy the project file you want to render and the files it uses (If you follow the common work flow of each project having it's own folder it's much easier) to the rendering PC and render it normally or with Media encoder you have the non rendering PC free. Although not necessary there are cloud storage systems that can update both PCs to have all the files of a project like Google drive and dropbox.

[@AkshayMudakavi]

is there any third party software or plug in which would allow me to do this (They are in the same network )

[@chartokai]

If you are on about sending the files to the rendering PC your options are: move/copy them physically with something like a hard drive or digitally with cloud computing (things like google drive or dropbox).

[@JDLuke]

Why can't you simply map a network drive letter to point to a watch directory on your rendering PC and save your final compositions there ?

[@AkshayMudakavi]

i will try this thanks

[@theattempters9231]

I never knew this at all gonna save me so much time.

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D That's great to hear!

[@nagoormaideen8138]

hai toby i watched all vedios in ur channel i have a doubt when i export vedio from aftereffect my graphic driver stopped working ?can u give me a solution

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Nagoor Maideen Update the drivers. If that still fails you will have to contact either Adobe support or the manufacturer of your graphics card

[@nagoormaideen8138]

My dedicated graphics memory is 256 MB and 8gb rom is it enough

[@nagoormaideen8138]

If not what should be the minimum dedicated graphics

[@sl3nder]

I've made visual effects for a song that i made (4mins) but it takes almost 2hours to render... Is there a setting that i need to check so it can be faster?

[@SurfacedStudio]

It depends on your effects, duration of the video, export settings and the power of your computer. Lowering the export quality usually makes it faster

[@sl3nder]

im using audio spectrum, vid is 4mins, i use my msi ge72 6qc apache (i don't know if that's good for rendering stuff) using best settings atm but for render it takes like 1:30 to 2hours. Im now useing adobe encoder that helps so the file isnt 20gb+ anymore but more like 200mb

[@lcrazyjeff]

apologies for my ignorance : If you start rendering your file in Media Encoder so you can still make edits in Premiere or After Effects, will you still need to render it again when you're done making your edits? Will it save time when you are trying to export your project?

[@SurfacedStudio]

You can keep working in AE and PP while you export, but your changes will not have an effect of the current export - it takes a snapshot when you push it to Media Encoder

[@WillPowerAlumni]

I have windows and it takes a long time to render my videos. Is it my computer? Or is there something I can do to make my videos render faster but still have good quality?

[@whipitstudio]

This question cant be answered. Nobody knows what you have for a PC or how you are encoding. To answer your question based on the info you provided, buy a new computer

[@AnubhabTheBassBooster]

Which would have better export quality Render ? Is it through After effects or Through Media Encoder Which is a better option ?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Doesn't matter :) I'll be exactly the same quality if you pick the same settings / preset.

[@barstoonarrow6580]

does the encoder need to be installed on my computer in order to use Premiere? When I downloaded Premiere it automatically downloaded the media encoder too so I was just wondering. Thanks!

[@SurfacedStudio]

+The Finnish Crash - MTB Everything It's automatically installed when you install Premiere Pro :)

[@horrgakx]

I gather it's possible to convert 4K footage to a Cinepak version for easier editing in Premiere. Any ideas how I would do this in the encoder?

[@SurfacedStudio]

It's the same process no matter what your source and your target formats are. Just import clip, apply / tweak preset and render it out

[@horrgakx]

Thanks - I'm more asking 'how' - I can't find Cinepak in there, is it an add-on?

[@shubhamchanchal2008]

I always wanted to know something like this.. Thanks for sharing this information

[@SurfacedStudio]

You're welcome!

[@Apollyion]

Hello! One question. Can I use Adobe Media Encoder to lower the file size of any video. For example if I have 5 gigabytes .avi video can i encode it to mp4 and lower it's file size without losing much quality?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Any compression will always have to 'discard' information. But in general going from AVI to MP4 (even at highest quality) should still reduce the file size

[@Apollyion]

Surfaced Studio Thank you for your response. I'll have it in my mind!

[@hibiscusflower5911]

Do you have any videos of how to make GIFs, right now I'm rendering them as quicktime, opening in photoshop and then saving them for web (to get a GIF). Is that a good way to do it? The reason I ask is because at 7:13 you said "set to H264 codec, which is what I use for anything I will upload to the web"

[@SurfacedStudio]

Sorry, don't think I can answer that - I don't work with GIFs, I only upload video files onto the internet :)

[@AnthonyWW68]

Holy cow! Excellent, EXCELLENT tutorial video! Well paced, straight to the point. Awesome. Subscribed.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you so much for the awesome comment :) Much appreciated!

[@SK-ut7sp]

tobi really useful this for me plz help me how to convert night to day effect plz iam waiting for ur reply

[@SurfacedStudio]

+sharan terror I have a tutorial for that on my channel already. If you do a search you will find it :)

[@tazegamer05]

well if i clicked take to media encoder after i was in after effects then where does the video go? i cant find the video anywhere on my pc

[@SurfacedStudio]

Wherever you specify the output file to be in Adobe Media Encoder

[@tcutchi]

Been using AME, but I didn't actually know about most of these features, thanks for the tutorial! Btw do you use a screen capture software or an external solution (Like an Elgato box, etc)?

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Taha C No worries, glad it helped. I'm using simple screen capture software

[@gburgMD]

Thanks!! Once we get our new Avid we will be dumping Sorensen Squeeze for this.

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D

[@RahkmanX]

Thanks for sharing you made it seem really easy and easy to use. I can't wait to get started!

[@viharikaushik4186]

hi, i have a small problem i made a video in AE and the length of the video is 2hours when i export it the file size is over 600GB so is there anyway to reduce the file size...

[@SurfacedStudio]

Try a different codec like h264 or reduce the export quality / resolution

[@Gusstra]

Finally a great video! Thank you!

[@SurfacedStudio]

You are welcome, glad you liked it!

[@joebob2311productions]

Love this tutorial. Good job mate! Found a solution to my problem. I'm done with Handbrake now!

:) Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tuoppi39]

+Surfaced Studio Hey! How i can export my videos/intros from adobe after effects cs6 i know how to do in cc but how in cs6?? plz you are god with these :'(

[@SurfacedStudio]

It's been the exactly same way for many versions now. Have you seen my basic tutorials for AE? Applies to all versions

[@Tuoppi39]

Surfaced Studio Ye i have seen but i don't have that way to export from after effects to media encoder... and i love your tuts

[@SurfacedStudio]

?? You can just export through Media Encoder from AE (as shown in this video), can you not?

[@sk8haah343]

I'm so grateful thanks man keep going

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Sk8 Haah Thank you :D

[@adillamizi2668]

hello please how to rotate a video on media encoder if possible.

[@SurfacedStudio]

I don't believe you can do that in Media Encoder, you will likely have to use a video editing program for that

[@sherifwahba4653]

Is it support AVS avisynth files?

[@dangerousyyy7771]

This guy is the best!!!

+Zivko Subotic Thank you for the feedback :) Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@treenelson4063]

Nice Tutorial, I'm still in CS4 so I was wondering what version this is and if the ogg and wbem formats come natively with this encoder? There are some very compelling features, specially the automatic format folder feature. Thanks for sharing.

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Tree Nelson The exact versions of all software packages used are shown in the video. I don't know if all versions have all the formats so you'd have to check the Media Encoder options that come with CS4

[@treenelson4063]

+Surfaced Studio Oopsy I some how missed seeing the CC2015 version in the video. I was wondering if the ogg and or wbem formats had been included in that version(CC2015). I know for sure there not in CS4. I'm kind of thinking they are not sens you didn't mention it. Thanks so much for the answer though. Till later. : )

[@MEMES-ee8ew]

[@nurulain3433]

hi, so i got some problem with my media encoder. i add my file into queue and click play button to start render. but it doesnt come out anything at the encoding area. does it means my media encoder broken? or if not, how do i fix it?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Is it working for any video at all?

[@Educare4you]

Thanks for the support

[@SurfacedStudio]

Welcome!

[@mertemre]

Excellent overview thank you very much!

[@SurfacedStudio]

No worries at all :)

[@nicolecelestine2184]

I must be the only person who's still quite confused. I still don't know how to start using Adobe Media Encoder. This was for beginners but it's really for advanced users. It left me even less confident about learning how to use this program. I think I need a Adobe Media Encoder for dummies tutorial.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Where in the tutorial are you getting stuck or feel like you’re missing something? Curious to know how I could do it better or if something changed over the years that makes this video less useful

[@badhon92]

great tutorial, thnx. btw i have one question. when using ME for render an AE comp i feel that it render the video slower than AE. to sure about that i render the same comp by using the same format with same setting from both ME and AE and it seems that AE render is way much faster than ME. but i seem strange to me because ME is mainly for render than why it render slower than AE!! is this problem just happened with me or is it natural and happened for everyone? and if this problem is just happened to me than do you have any suggestion to solve this problem?

[@SurfacedStudio]

+An Exceptional Film Hm, can't say I noticed that. Might simply happen because you are running multiple programs and so the overall load on your CPU/memory is higher since you're technically running the export and AE in parallel

[@badhon92]

+Surfaced Studio ok, so i am not the only one who face and notice the fact :D thnx for the answer.

[@boomr334]

Thanks dude. Great vid that helped massively!

[@SurfacedStudio]

You are welcome!

[@KenGullette]

Great video tutorial!! I never knew how to use Media Encoder until now. You got into it quickly, the instruction was clear, and you are very engaging. Nice job!

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you very much for the kind words :) Glad to hear you found the tutorial useful - even though it's a bit on the older side :D

[@SirCheeseKnight]

Awesome! Can you make a video about how you edit your videos? ( effects, lower thirds, programs used, etc.)

[@kraftwerk977]

a question regarding watch folders ... i have a AE file in the watched folder with miltiple precomps and i dont want to render all of them, just the final one or two ... Is there any solution to this? AME just picks all of them automaticly :(

[@SurfacedStudio]

Hm, don't think you can go quite that fine grained with AME unfortunately - at least now that I'm aware of

[@kraftwerk977]

i think i got it ... a comp that is in the root of the project in AE will get renderd, and any other comps that are in a folder will not.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Nice one :) Didn't know that but glad to hear you found a solution!

[@alexo4099]

does after effects cs6 work with media encoder 2015

[@SurfacedStudio]

If you have AE CS6 you should have Media Encoder CS6

[@UmairKhanAcademy]

You are amazing bro, from pakistan

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad you enjoyed the video! :)

[@Chris-el9tt]

Adobe Media Encoder, How to get H.265 codec? In trial version and updated it do not work. What I have buy to get H.265?

[@roadrunnertropical]

Very useful tutorial! Thank you!

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D

[@leorfilms8567]

why when I use media encoder I get media missing. It renders the red missing screen instead of my footage. My footage is def there and when I render it normaly its fine. Any idea chaps?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Hm, can't say that ever happened to me. You may have to try the Adobe forum

[@Maya-wo4mk]

best tutorial ever, thanks

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D

[@JDLuke]

This is a great way to handle output, thanks for posting it. Now I have a question about input file formats. Are there any technical, performance or workflow benefits to be had from unifying or customizing clip formats before working on them in AE or PP? Or would that simply be a waste of time and resources?

[@SurfacedStudio]

I think unified workflow becomes more important if you work together with a team of people. If you just work on your own you may as well save yourself the time and use what works for you :)

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure I'd call it a 'team' exactly, but my 14 year old (who discovered your videos) is a budding video producer and I've been trying to help him out as I can. I bring the technical chops (I'm a software developer myself) and discipline, he brings the creativity and free time!

No worries :) That sounds great and I hope your son enjoys getting into film making. In the end you just have to figure out what works best between the two of you then :)

Hey I exported from Premiere cc and there was sound. I then dragged it into Encoder used youtube 1080 etc and theres no sound. This has never happened before im not sure

[@Mindfulbanterofficial]

it doesnt have the little sound icon just the film. on Yours i see the film and sound icon as one. :'( !!!

+Irate Mind If you already export from Premiere, why do you want to re-encode it from AME? You can just use the right setting directly from Premiere

[@Mindfulbanterofficial]

usually when i export from premiere and i put on facebook without encoding it kills the quality. So i encode it to lock in the HD. But either way if I pull a sequence over its the same thing no audio

[@SurfacedStudio]

What codec / options are you applying in Media Encoder? Simply click on the preset and ensure it has the 'Export Audio' option turned on otherwise you'll just export the video
