    Only seeing Audio File in AME on Import or Export to Queue from Premiere

    soloalpinist Community Member

      Hello All...

       

      I don't have alot of experience with AME... I"ve exported a sequence from Premiere Pro, Selected setting and added to the Queue in AME... all I see show up once the AME window opens is an Audio File.

       

      When I open a Premiere project directly from AME (using the dropdown menu) I get the same result... I've tried this with a few Premiere Projects. Am I missing a step here???

       

      Also... I'm confused as to why I select all the transcode settings in Premiere Pro when exporting media... and then there are presets again in AME... don't the settings carry over from Premiere's export window?

       

      Thyanks for any help...

          First of all, which versions of AME and Premiere Pro are you using?

          What do you mean by only Audio File can be seen in AME?  You queued a project from Premiere and saw an audio file in AME?

           

          All encoding settings you set in Premiere are supposed to be passed onto AME once queued.

            I'm using CS6 Master Suite.

             

            Yes... queued a project from Premiere... it opens AME and there is only an Audio file in the AME window.  The settings in Premiere (from "Export-Media") are set for  Mpeg2 DVD etc before I queued it....

              Is that audio file used in a Premiere project you queued?  What else you have in your project? Do you see that this same audio file is always queued to AME?  When you select File > Export > Media, did you make sure you selected a project first in Project panel, not the audio file?

                Another way of sending Premiere sequences to AME is to drag them from Premiere's Project panel directly into AME's Queue.  If you do that does your sequence still show up as an audio file?  Also, can you post a screen shot of AME's queue so we can see what it looks like?

                  I'm wrestling with this same issue.

                  I'm on Windows 7using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.

                  I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.

                  I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.

                  I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.

                  Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments as needed so everything would fit on the discs.

                  The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.

                  I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem.

                  But now, two things happen:

                  1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension

                  2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)

                   

                  Whassup?

                   

                  Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:

                  Format: MPEG2-DVD

                  Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality

                  Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)

                  BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked

                  Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here

                  Multiplexer Tab:

                  • choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
                  • Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default

                  Video Tab:

                  • Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
                  • Quality: increase it to the max of 5
                  • TV Standard: NTSC
                  • Frame Rate: 29.97
                  • Field Order: None (Progressive)
                  • Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
                  • Render at Maximum Depth box checked
                  • Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
                  • Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments

                  Audio Tab:

                  • Audio Format: Dolby Digital
                  • Codec: Dolby Digital
                  • Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality

                   

                  I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box

                  I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight

                   

                  So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????
