How can we improve Media Encoder?

← Media Encoder

Add QuickTime Reference file support again!

This was an absolutely superfast workflow for exporting from Avid.
Really easy and time saving. Avid even still offers QuickTime reference export in version 2019.9.

    I'm not sure if it's been added since but AME does load a Quicktime Pro 7 reference file, the problem is that AME doesn't respect the ins and outs that are in that file. Nor does it find the file if the path has changed a little.
    • If I have a 10 minute MOV and I create a reference file of the last minute AME will still render the whole 10 minutes. QTP7 and MPEG Streamclip only open and process the last minute.
    • If I have a reference file of a video that is in /video/file.mov and I move the file or rename the folder /video/moved/file.mov AME says the file couldn't be imported and that it can't find the source file. QTP7 doesn't have a problem though - I guess it does a quick search of the computer and locates it or something? MPEG Streamclip also doesn't have a problem.

    Yes please! Why render when it‘s not necessary? I‘m still stuck at AME version 2017. This version is now causing problems in Windows 10 (explorer refresh issue). Adobe should be able to do that.
