  • Adobe media encoder and MXF to ProRes

    Posted by Craig Ricker on September 2, 2013 at 7:13 am

    Basically, everytime I use prelude to load a bunch of MXF files into media encoder and get transcoded to ProRes, I always get Adobe media encoder hanging.

    Has anyone ever had success getting this to occur without hanging? It only really happens when i’m doing big batches like anything over 10 clips. They all load up fine into media encoder, but after the first 1 is nearing finish on the transcode it always hangs.

    At the moment i’m forced to use tcp 7 log and transfer to get my MXF’s into prores. I have no issues there, but annoyed that adobe isnt working correctly.

    What version of Adobe are you running (CS5.5, CS6, CC?)? Up to date?

    Are you pulling the files off the CF card before running them through Prelude (i.e. copying to a hard drive)? I’ve found problems with big batches if I attempt to access the CF card directly. Copying them onto a hard drive before transcoding seems to work better.

    Have you tried skipping Prelude and going directly into AME or Premiere Pro with the MXF files? Technically, you don’t need to transcode to ProRes if you’re staying within the Adobe universe.
