Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Encoder question

  • CS5 Encoder question

    Posted by Marc Colemont on November 4, 2010 at 4:28 pm

    I don’t see a separate forum for the Adobe Media Encoder, so I’ll try here.
    I’m setting up a watch-folder to create H.264 files.
    It all works exept for the fact that the presets which you can choose contain always the framerates and resolutions which I simply don’t want.
    I want to create a watch-folder which keeps those parameters alone.
    So whatever file I drop-in keeps the same resolution and framerate, and is purely converted to H.264.
    Any ideas how I can do that?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Marc,

    The “match source attribute” is not available for watch folder in H.264, just like it isn’t available what you do standard H.264 encoding.

    Some formats like mpeg2 do support that feature, but that won’t be of much help in your case.

    We simply setup different folders for separate formats/resolutions. In most cases, I would think you’d want control over that anyway?

    Thanks vince for your answer.
    For the standard video formats and jobs that’s fine to make a few folders. Mostly I use QuickTime Pro to check the renedered ProRess File and to simply export into H.264 without the need to worry about settings.
    As a lot of my work recently is to create webbanners and Sports banners for LED walls, each job has different resolutions. So there I loose time now setting up all these settings while the master-file is made alrrady correct with the right framerates and resolutions. Which is really a pain checking and setting up each file. The reason why I prefer the Adobe Encoder is because they use the Main Concept encoder which is much better than the quicktime pro for converting animated logo’s and texts. As it is more crisp and smaller files to send over internet.
