There is a bug that I have yet to see explained exactly the same as I am experiencing it. I'm trying to transcode some MP4 h.264 files into a higher compressed h.264 file to better fit in it's playback medium. I thought the issue was the computer going to sleep pausing the render, even though that should not have been the case.
-Fresh install of Windows 10 1809
-drop multiple mp4 files into AME, hit start and it will go for a while.
-after a few minutes it stops rendering. No error, no immediate crash. Just no movement, no change in Remaining time. Even the elapsed timer is locked up and not changing.
-Trying to stop the cue causes AME to become unresponsive, causing me to force quit it.
-checked all power settings and changed them to keep computer and monitor awake all the time, etc.
-Same issue persists.
-Tried adding in just one file instead of the multiple from before.
-Same issue, and funny enough, the Elapsed time is stuck at EXACTLY the same point as it was the last time (8:51)...... Computer never went to sleep.

I am trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence with mogrts using the Watch folder in Media Encoder. I've tried several solutions to get this to work, and the only way I have found it to work is if I place the mogrts in the root watch folder. This is a problem because the Media Encoder will recognize the mogrt files and process them in the queue, thus having them moved to the source folder once they have been exported.

Moving a project folder (e.g. PROJECT1) containing a Premiere project, raw material inside a subfolder (RAW) and the Motion Graphics folder to the root watch folder and then moving the Project file to the root watch folder will start the export process, but with the graphics files showing as Media Offline. If I do this without mogrts, Media Encoder is able to relink the raw material residing in the project folder.

Am I doing this the wrong way or is this a scenario you haven't thought of?

This is an observation of problems with AME 2018 exports after many hours of paintstaking work late at night to try to produce a H264 Based Blu Ray disc through Encore 6, but I suspect other authoring SW would have same issue.

I know Encore 6 is a legacy product and out of support - but AME version 2017 encoded H264 blu ray files which always worked fine.

There is also a thread on Encore Community Forums about this issue where other people have found same problem as well.

Today I see no way to produce a Blu Ray H264 based disc with files encoded from Media Encoder 2018. This newer version has caused problems.

Whilst Adobe may feel Blu Ray discs are defunct and we should use Streaming ... this problem with Media Encoder 2018 needs fixing as in some cases we need to produce Blu Ray discs of our project/work.

Adobe Engineering Team : can you have a quick look at the difference between H264 encoded Blu Ray files from AME 2017 to AME 2018 please. Why is it broken ..and fix it please.

Feedback welcomed.

Adobe media encoder sorely need the ability to batch change render setting presets on all videos selected.
Example: Let's say I want to render 100 video from After Effects and send them to AME, then it chooses the last used render setting by default when loaded into AME. If I want to change I have to manually (!) add new render settings/preset to Every single of the 100 videos and then manually (!) delete the previous setting so I don't render each video two times. Also it automatically makes new names for the new video setting I added so I have to Manually (!) rename every single file. I hope you see how non-productive this is when rendering many files?

AME is suppose to to make rendering movies more efficient, but without this feature, it very often serves no purpose or is more tedious than actually rendering straight in AE of Premiere.

Please add this feature Adobe!
