This is the fastest way to encode and export media while giving me the ability to edit throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the very few times that the Media Encoder is unable to export. Oftentimes the reasoning for the failure to encode is vague and confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do a ton of batch exports, and this is the best tool for a premiere workflow. When I'm exporting 50+ files at once, it's nice to be able to send files to Encoder, and then still be able to use Premiere. I even will export files in Media Encoder when just doing one or two files, just to be able to go back into premiere and keep working at the same time. It's a nice convenience thing.

I have two problems with media encoder. The first is that you can't set the export location for all the files in the queue at once. It frequently defaults to the last place I exported files, which is often not where I want them to go. It's a huge chore to have to go back and do that for individual files. My other struggle is when using custom LUTs in Premiere. I have found that media encoder frequently incorrectly applies or ignores the LUTs that I have used.

I wish there was more compatibility with less used video codecs like .avi Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It handles everything. It's dead simple with excellent queuing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is a bit slow when the files are large and need to be encoded Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the following about media encoder

- complete integrations with adobe premiere pro and adobe after effects

- ability to choose from tons of codecs

- ability to customize audio and video separately

- option to choose codes like H.264 which is not available natively in after effects

- the option to upload directly to streaming platforms

- the rendering speed is much higher than native software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about media encoder

- It usually got troubles when working with remuxed files

- It needs the other software to work like to process After effects project after effects must be installed already

- many external plugins are unsupported

- usually takes lots of memory but it's common in any rending software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's straightforward to use, especially when you already know how to use Adobe PS or AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it takes a while to start this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe Media Encoder CC is fast, by fast I mean much faster than rendering with build-in render for adobe after effects. I mainly used Media encoder for adobe premiere pro and adobe after effects. I didn't know about media encoder CC for a while and been using the build-in render for after effects using AVI format. Then I started using premiere pro CC and using media encoder became a must if you want renders. for me it was a revolutionary change, for once there were a great selection of output formats and settings like the H.264 format which gives high-quality outputs with a fraction of the size of AVI. ever since I never used the build-in render engine.

There are too many settings in there which can be overwhelming for a beginner, especially I had lots of trouble with alpha channel renders luckily there was a lot of help available around the web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
