Media Encoder mistakenly encodes MP4 as VR - BUG
When encoding a ProRes QT to an H264 MP4, AME will sometimes incorrectly interpret the file as VR, which completely messes it up.
For some reason, the resulting file looks distorted when viewed with some apps (eg: VLC and PotPlayer on Win10), but it looks normal in others (eg: when viewed on Dropbox.com)
The fix is seemingly to check and uncheck "Video is VR" under the Video export settings. I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this issue?

High VRAM usage in Media Encoder causing failure
I am posting this in a different category, just in case.
I am noticing 1-2 GB higher VRAM usage when encoding Premiere Pro sequences in Media Encoder than directly in Premiere. So much so, that I must run ME by itself to avoid VRAM-related render failures.For example, in order to reliably render my documentary in ME, I have to make sure to quit Premiere first before starting my render queue. But then, I am rendering out three different file formats of this show. After the first one completes successfully, and is between renders VRAM usage stays high. Then, when…

Bug: Media Encoder queue won't process audio effects but Premiere export will
This appeared to be a bug and a rather frustrating one to work out.
Exporting a sequence from Premiere 14.9 would result in audio effects (applied in audio track mixer) being rendered out properly, but when the sequence was sent to a queue in Media Encoder 14.1, the audio effects weren't applied.
I couldn't figure this out initially and had to re-render my hours worth of material via manually exporting from the export window.
After speaking to someone on the Australian AVPUG on facebook, they explained that it can happen if there's a mismatch between versions, and indeed there was.…

VRAM Memory Leak With Media Encoder + January Nvidia Studio Driver 461.40
There is a bug that results in VRAM build up when Media Encoder is running but not doing anything. I have an RTX 3090 and sometimes it'll build up to 18GB when the program is just idle. This doesn't occur with the previous Studio Driver.

selector 9 error 3 when using 4K H625 GoPro footage
AME starting from 14.5 till 15.0 beta failes when exporting.
Short description:
Source Material is mainly 4k and above from GoPro Hero 7-9.
This appears only when using Hardware encoding (NVIDIA lastest Studia driver).
Software encoding works but is due to the unacceptable Runtime not an Option.Exporting the same project again the error is at a different timestamp.
The error appears always between 2 Clips.
unchecking the following setting in AME "Import sequences natively" allows me to export succesful but the runtime is longer, however not as long as with software encoding..
Checking the above item produces the error…1 vote -

Creative Cloud Ruining Your Functionality
I set up an overnight batch export to make proxy files. Upon returning the following morning Media Encoder insisted on quitting over and over and over and over again. No matter how many times I told it I didn't want to quit, it kept popping up asking me if I wanted to quit. This also froze all exports so basically nothing had actually happened overnight.
Why did this happen? Because Creative Cloud automatically logged me out, for absolutely no reason!
If your software hinges entirely on me being signed in CONSTANTLY, that is unacceptable. I lost time on this project…

BUG - Multiple Outputs from Single Source File Fails / Is Inconsistent
Trying to export two versions / sizes to H264 MP4 from a source 1080p ProRes file. I'm using CUDA accelerated Mercury Playback Engine. AME behavior is inconsistent. First attempt resulted in one of the two desired outputs being completed successfully, with the second output failing without an error.
Tried switching to CPU Mercury Playback Engine, re-added file to the queue, set desired outputs, but this time both output files failed to render. No error, just failed.
I switched back to CUDA accelerated, re-added file/outputs, and this time both files output successfully.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro, with an AMD Threadripper…

Removing of bugs associated with Media Encoder such as the application locks up on you when attempting to create a mp4 copy.
I find that this Media Encoder is not reliable, the applications locks up while trying to complete a task causing extra time placing keyframes that had already been established previously in the file that was to be encoded.

Launching encode puts Mac to sleep
The last two times I have hit go on an encode, my computer has immediately gone to sleep- which disconnects my NAS. It is a 2014 iMac and my current files are 4K but it shouldn't be taking a Nanna-nap every time I do an encode. Meanwhile there is a 5 sec delay on these key strokes while typing so I am a little worried about ME working the computer too hard.

Temporary .AAC or .M4V files don't delete after .MP4 is done exporting.
I have been having this problem lately that when exporting After Effects files through Media Encoder with multiple projects that the .AAC or .M4V temporary files don't vanish after the .MP4 is ready with exporting.
