It would be helpful to be able to monitor audio (either through speakers or a visible meter) during encoding. I find it very useful to catch editing issues in the Output Preview monitor, however I do sometimes still get caught out with audio problems. If there could be an option to preview the audio as well, that would be very useful.

I am attempting to export vertical Iphone HEVC video. When I do it in Premiere, the export goes perfect. But when I try to do it in AME, my vertical video is rotated 90 degrees, as if the codec forced it to rotate, even though the sequence settings and video settings match at 1080 wide by 1920 tall.

Basically, AME's HEVC encoding doesn't seem to work even though Premiere's does.

Most up to date version of AME and PP CC.

I would like there to be more options for optimizing a GIF output, something to top the photoshop "SAVE FOR WEB (LEGACY) > GIF" output option. Media Encoder is so good at smashing down ginormous files to great looking shareable files, i imagine your team could do wonders for making the (admittedly archaic) GIF format sparkle.

About 90% of the time, I want to export the entire sequence.

This is especially irritating with large batches of exports as there is no way (that I've found) to change all exports to 'Entire Sequence' in one go. I have to chance them all one at a time.

Allow setting moov atom at the front of the file (fast start) to appease youtube!

Many issues with the Premiere Pro Project Manager, Proxy Creation, and Ingest can be avoided if you could simply have presets that work with all audio configurations. In many instances you would want the transcoded media to have an identical audio layout to the original. Its essential, in fact, when creating proxies and archiving sequences using Project Manager....yet, there is no option to do this.

Please add support for avi formats. Some of my devices save the recordings in avi formats and I lose quality when converting :(

We shot a film in ProRes RAW at the University I teach at and ended up having to do this janky workflow with FCPX to edit the files in Premiere. It would have been nice to, at the very least, throw the footage into Encoder to transcode RAW to ProRes 422. (like I have to do with the new Panasonic 422 10bit files). Thanks!

When I render out of After effects through Media Encoder sometimes the audio warps and the timing is off. The audio is fin in AE just not after being rendered through AME.

In Media Encoder 2018 I've noticed some effects, like Particular are rendering different than they do in an After Effects render, like there are way more particles.

Just make image sequences available at import.

Automatically remove AME folder after render

Why are there still no 4k / UHD export presets included?

Export settings similar to system camera 4k/UHD (Panasonic etc.) would be very helpful, as in my case I can't seem to find a setting with a filesize-quality ratio similar to what my GH5 camera produces (and I'm done wasting time on that). And quicktime jpeg is removed, that doesn't help either.

Even phones film in 4k these days..

Support for Real-Time playback in the preview window.

This feature is mainly useful if using AME as a stand alone encoder, which is genuinely something it excels at. This feature is present in Apple Compressor and was in MPEG Streamclip.

I would love if you guys could add some sort of way to use AME through a command line. This way I can create an automated script to convert an entire set of movies or video to a new format to reduce file size. A way to do this would be great thx.

Currently, Bug stays on while video fades up. I want both to fade in/out. Compressor has this feature. Why doesn't Encoder?

Rendering background set in composition from after effects (rather than reverting it to black) so as to aid in 2.5D animation.

Watch a folder where image sequences are rendered but wait a user define image count before processing.
ex : watch a folder or sub folders >if watch folder or subfolder have x files then start batch processing this folder
