Add an option to see footage from the top of a folder hierarchy. This would be a great addition to the AME media browser for adding footage from multiple locations, quickly.

Hi,
I would love AME to get a source and output view to visually tweek the settings before I render my video.
If I'm in Premiere or AE these panels are there when I hit export, but for some reason AME doesn't have those.
Sometimes I just want to use only AME to transcode a clip, but I'm forced to go through PP or AE to get a preview of the output.

So please include those to panels (source and output) in AME also. Thanks :)

Estimated rendering time goes way off when you select some audio processing - like EBU128 normalization. It can show you hours, when in reality it might take 20 minutes. And then, when rendering video after audio is done it can show you that 4 minutes left, when in reality it will take 35 minutes. Everything ok is when you don't use audio normalization, estimation is around accurate.

Thanks

The "connecting to dynamic link" box often takes a long time. Instead, let the settings page load instantly like it does for a non dynamic link item. Settings can be available right away, and the video preview can display a "connecting to dynamic link" message until it establishes the connection. Most of the time, a user does not need the video preview.

Hi, I find myself dropping movies that need to be converted on the menu bar icon at least a few times a day. But that doesn't work, although it seems so intuitive. Any chance that could be implemented?

WIll not allow me to sign in to my youtube - will prompt me for email to sign in and then will close the window.

I want to make presentation usb drives. You pop a DVD into a computer and a menu comes up with the videos etc that are on the DVD and the user selects. I can not find the same option for usb drives, which is amazing to me.
I have ten grandchildren and I would love to be able to send them individualized usb drives that they can put into a computer and they would be presented with a menu from which they could choose which media they wanted .

Thanks,

This seems like it would be a no-brainer. Having the newest files at the top of the list reduces headaches and crawling through long lists of media, particularly if you aren't the one controlling the file structure.

You could put handles in the IN and OUT points of the timeline to give the option of fade ins & outs. (attachment example)

It is difficult to see how an edit looks without the ability to play the file in the edit window. The ability to play and scrub through media effectively would help so much

AME can take minutes 'Connecting to Dynamic Link Server'.
It's hard to believe this takes so much time. I guess it's doing some checks and gathering footage. Maybe it's nice to tell that to the user. The progress bar just feels like it's frozen.

My 4096x2160 monitor just died. I am having to use a 1920x1080 monitor, Illustrator and Media ancoder windows are still huge and there is no way, other than deleting preference files to get them to normal size. Windows size button is top right, off screen and window base is off lower screen so no way of resizing windows

Exact situation: MacBook Pro, lid closed using external monitor/ kb/ mouse. Place items into encoder queue. Click file name under OUTPUT to rename and overwrite an existing file. Mac OS file dialogue is incorrectly drawn with overwrite warning and you can't click, you must use keyboard to tab to the option to overwrite the existing file.

Hello, the software has a record of the render time, but when the project is finished, the time record will disappear.This is very inconvenient for hardware performance testing.It is hoped that the software can keep the automatically recorded time attached to the completed project and not disappear.

There is no such button. There is however a '+' button.

Will you make it so that you CANNOT accidentally change a setting (Sample Rate, Sample Size, Codec, etc...) just because your curse happens to be on the selection when trying to scroll to down to other options on the settings window?

Unless I'm click on those drop downs to actually change them, I don't want them to change.

Please fix deinterlacing on video's. The deinterlacing looks very cheap, lots of jitters and sharp edges.

Preview/frame your export orientation.

Being able to have favorite presets with a favorite panel or section would make finding my go-to presets so much easier without having to dig through tabs.
