Export using previews
Customarily I export viewing copies of my cuts from Premiere by selecting an H.264 format and clicking ‘use previews’. I then press QUEUE so that Media Encoder takes care of it. But no matter what I do, the rendered preview files do not seem to be used in my export. I see the export slow right down on FX heavy shots (despite that fact that the whole timeline is rendered).
Ideas?!
Thanks in advance …

have you tried an export without the “use previews” box checked to see if there is a difference in export times?

If you hover over the “Use Previews” checkbox in Premiere, it states it is only applicable for sequences exported from Premiere, so apparently AME doesn’t use the previews. Unless you have multiple sequences to export, try going straight from Premiere.

[Daniel Waldron] “If you hover over the “Use Previews” checkbox in Premiere, it states it is only applicable for sequences exported from Premiere, so apparently AME doesn’t use the previews. “
This refers to using a Premiere Pro sequence as a source…in either the direct export mode, or in the queued Media Encoder interface. Sending the sequence encode job to the queue should not make any difference in whether or not the previews are used when the box is checked.

Ah, didn’t realize that.

As long as you use a Premiere Pro sequence as your source, Premiere Pro is launched and exporting…when the Media Encoder queue is running in the background while you edit in Premiere Pro, another version of Premiere Pro, called “PPro headless”, starts and runs in the background and sends frames to Media Encoder.

but still … AME is not using the previews.
Is this a broken feature?

Hi Jon,
Sorry if you already called this out in an earlier post but did you select the Use Previews option in Adobe Media Encoder? Adobe Media Encoder does not automatically use Premiere Pro preview files for encoding.
To do this click on the Presets button in AME and check the ‘Use Previews’ option in the Export Settings dialog.
Best,

On the same note, exporting sequences out of Premiere Pro CC (as XDCAM 422 50 Mbits)carries the timeline timecode (I’ve set to 10:00:00:00). If Queued using the Media Encoder, it exports but with Zero TC.
I’ve made sure that “Use Zero TC” is off and tried with various combinations on the best depth, maximum quality. Preferences within AME is set to accept metadata, etc. No good.
Any help?
