There is a drastic color difference when exporting via AME, compared with exporting directly from Premiere. See attached photos. I literally changed nothing on the timeline, but it's handled completely differently. This has happened to me twice in the last month, both from h.264 clips and ProRes 422 clips with Lumetri effects.

If I provide AME with file that contains 4 channels of audio, when it exports it to H.264 with a stereo audio channel, it strips out channels 3 and 4 instead of mixing them down into channels 1 and 2 as expected. The help file for Media Encoder says "If you choose fewer channels than are in the master track of a sequence or project, Adobe Media Encoder downmixes the audio"

app.project.renderQueue.queueInAME(true); transfers the project from After Effects to Media Encoder to encode.
The render time may vary depending upon the complexity of the render. The function queueInAME( ) returns nothing back.
There is no way of Extend Script to know when the render task is done.

Some people prefere to change framerates without interpolation, so that no frames get duplicated or deleted. It would be nice if Media Encoder could offer this feature like premiere does on import

Media Encoder does not apply Lumetri Effects to render... please fix

Any time the Global FX are turned off in Premiere Pro, I want a warning before I encode the project.

Allow users to eject a local Drive within ME. For some reason if you aren't using a drive that you may have looked at with ME it won't let you eject it. Please fix this problem.

The Adobe Media encoder help (F1) link is not working. It's returning a 404 web page error.

Impossible to select a LUT in the dropdown menu of AME.
Nor to install additional ones for that matter.
(A quick look to the LUT folder it seems their own *.cube LUT don't show). Even if I convert my LUT to *.itx : it won't work.

I can't batch process a project lut --or any technical lut, within AME.
So please, at least give us a workaround because it's making AME and watch-folders completely useless for my use.

I also see this problem has been raised several times over the years, and no fix in the horizon...

A way to properly & totally remove the cache. I had a project and AME would NOT encode the latest version.

I went to AME, prefs, media and cleaned the cache, but I still had the same problem. I finally had to output in PP which gave me the correct version.

Audio is out of sync when stitching two videos together. The audio in the 2nd video is out of sync.

Pretty simple. Adding some rotate function to the crop function would be really helpful....and easy I imagine

Media Encoder making lots of mistakes in latest version, especially in audio where it is not exporting anything on a submix bus. Reverb on a submix doens't work at all when exporting with Media Encoder.

It would save the time it would take running a file through my editing program just to add a fade in and out when no other edits are needed.

Start Frame number:
When rendering an image sequence in AME, I need the option to control start frame number - as I have in AE. So that I can correct certain frames, and render them directly into my existing sequence.

Adobe removed the ability to install older versions of Media Encoder. This is unacceptable, especially when businesses rely on features that were stripped from the newest release of Media Encoder. When our version bugged out and wouldn't pick up the license, I attempted to uninstall and reinstall, just to find out that there was no way to reinstall.

Please restore older version installations. I don't care about the Dolby being removed.

I have been trying AME and love it...but there's no way of buying this or subscribing as a standalone app/product!

I shouldn't need to subscribe to all video editing software just to get a license to use AME!

I'm happy to pay ...but not for software I won't use just to get AME.

If I want to buy a car air freshener....I don't buy a new car to get it ;)

If I don't have at least double the amount of free space on a disk that would be required for encoding, encoding still proceeds until very end, but after reaching 100% it stops with VERY uninformative error:

"Could not write XMP data in output file."

Googling this proves that the issue existed for years, as there are many reports of this, with the user preferred solution of disabling XMP metadata export entirely, because this incredibly annoying issue wastes many hours and days of failed encoding.
