issue exporting sequence with Immersive video transition

[Paul Nicholson]

I have read that Adobe Media Encoder is FAULTY and your best settings for export are these:

Select GPU Acceleration
Select Render Audio when Rendering Video (then press Enter and wait for Render to complete)
Select Use Maximum Render Quality

and most importantly

Select Export NOT Queue.

More information would be good, like computer specs, OS, version of Adobe CC, etc. Otherwise it’s all pure guesswork.

Max Render Quality is primarily for renders of re-sized content, otherwise it mostly just adds time to the render.

System:
Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
Win 7 64-bit
32GB RAM
Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
256GB SSD system drive
4 internal media drives RAID 5
Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF.

Hi Rick
I guess you’ve probably solved this one or given up on it by now but I’ll leave this here for the record.

I was having a very similar problem With After Effects and Media Encoder. Immersive video effects were rendering fine in the AE timeline but rendering out of Media Encoder resulted in the same red warning bar. Which is weird because I had rendered the exact same project a few days earlier out of Media Encoder with no issue.

I finally managed to get it working by uninstalling then re-installing Media Encoder through the Creative Cloud app. I expect that doing this will also fix the problem rendering out of Premiere, although I haven’t tested it.

Not sure I like this new COW format where old stuff can come to the top when someone comments on it…. but, since it’s here, when you are in your AME Export settings, switch between CBR, VBR 1-pass, and VBR 2-pass, and check your Performance drop down to see what happens as you switch. On my Win10 system at home, it goes to Software Encoding when selecting 2-pass VBR, but CBR and 1-pass both can have Hardware Encoding selected. I’m betting this is where the issue is coming from, trying to use VBR 2-pass.
