"An indispensable complement for those who use After Effects"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

I can easily render my project to any format that meets the requirements of my projects. It's quick and easy and even lets you render multiple projects at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

Can only be used in conjunction with Adobe softwares. It would be interesting to expand to other use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Encode the world"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

There is no way around the fact that everyone who identifies themselves as designers must have adobe tools at their hands and motion designers rely on After Effects, Premiere and alike. What makes the encoder stands out is how smoothly it integrates with all Adobe ecosystem. It makes my life much simpler! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

Sometimes I want an advanced encoder setting and more codecs. I see the objective to keep it simple and to be honest, when I open the encoder, I already have a tight deadline running to deliver. That's a fact, I know, but, from time to time, I have the opportunity to explore it more and I feel a bit constrained by the lack of options to tweak the settings deeper.

"Adobe Media Encoder Saves time"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

Adobe Media Encoder gives you the capacity to perform multiple exporting video processes parallel to each other, allowing you to continue editing video while exporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

What I dislike the most about Adobe Media Encoder software is that it is rather hard to run correctly on Windows computers that do not have an excessive amount of resources to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exporting is a breeze with Adobe Media Encoder"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

I'm able to export my videos in a variety of formats, with a ton of different settings for optimum performance! It's also great for projects that cross over between After Effects and Premiere Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

Everything works as advertised, I just wish there were some more options for exporting non-video formats. For example, it can be cumbersome to open Photoshop to convert a large PNG to a small JPG. This could be streamlined if I could do it right within Media Encoder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Your video files in any format"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

Adobe Media Encoder works as an encoding engine for Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, Adobe Character Animator, and Adobe Prelude. It can also be used as a standalone encoder.

It contains an infinite number of formats to encode your videos or multimedia productions, you can also add new plugins such as WebM to encode in that format, personally it is much better than the After Effects encoder since it allows you endless options and additional formats.

You can create a work queue where several files are encoded at the end of the one in progress, facilitating many tasks and allowing you to work on another project while finishing others.

I usually use the formats, mp4 and WebM in my productions, the main one is mp4 since it is a light format and recognized by all devices, while WebM I use it to create files with an Alpha channel used in live broadcasts or to superimpose others videos. or multimedia productions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

Sometimes it takes longer than usual to render a file, but it will depend a lot on the capabilities of your computer. It could have a more friendly and intuitive interface, but with basic knowledge you will be able to navigate through the entire menu without problems, without touching something that you do not know to make it work, otherwise you may regret it.

Coding errors can occur, where you will have to repeat the process. Especially with the WebM in VP9 alpha channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mandatory for video encoding"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

Media Encoder is by far the best video encoding tool out there today.

If you work with video editing, VFX, or anything that requires encoding, this is an essential tool.

With a simple interface, vast options, and broad support for several codecs, Media Encoder will solve all your needs regarding video export for the most diverse media.

Integration with Adobe products such as Premiere Pro and After Effects makes the workflow very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

Unfortunately, there is no interoperability between different software versions that integrate with it, so you must always have all the software up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adobe Media Encoder Review"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

When I need to brand my content, I can utilize image overlays in Premiere Pro to add a watermark or embed a logo in the corner of my frame, and I love that. Also, I can name overlays to label and organize my footage correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

If I want to use it, I need an Adobe account and a Creative Cloud membership. Video encoding used to be very time-consuming and if you don't understand the principles of video encoding, utilizing this software tends to be very hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great fix for transcoding media"
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

Very clear and accurate software to transcode media to different file formats. I like especially that you can track progress, see the thumbnail, and enjoy a ding notification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

There is not an option to transcode a webm file into an mp4, for example. That would be an added plus to have that capability. But other than that, no dislikes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
