"Everything you need for exporting!"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

I love that all in one program you can export to so many different formats with every possible setting. Media Encoder works so seamlessly with other Adobe products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

There's not much to dislike about Adobe Media Encoder. The interface is easy to use and understand. If there was anything I would change, I would like to see it be made more obvious how you can restart or redo an item from the queue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool to convert media files quickly & easily"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

I appreciate that media encoder is part of the adobe suite, so you can easily send video files from premiere to be exported directly into ME. You can also upload media that you'd like to export into a different format (ie, .mov to .mp4), which is super helpful for adjusting social media content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

I would say I'm a basic user of media encoder, that being said, some of the features are not intuitive for me and perhaps other lite users. However I appreciate that if I were doing something more complex, media encoder would (probably) have it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is THE video exporter/converter"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

Media encoder shines most when used with other Adobe apps to queue video exports, but my favorite part is that you can drag videos right in and convert them however you need. It's extremely convenient and has always been a solid, stable tool for my workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

There are some video formats/codecs that media encoder won't take, which requires me to convert it through VLC, which is also a handy tool but nowhere near as intuitive as Media Encoder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great way to batch export all the projects out of the Adobe software line."
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

I really appreciate the fact that I can send all my After Effects and Premiere projects to the Media Encoder and batch render them all from one software. It saves so much time in the exporting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

The UI is not user friendly, as is the case with a lot of Adobe software. It could be cleaned up and simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick once you are set, but finding just the right settings can be tricky."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

The best thing about media encoder is how easily it is integrated into thother adobe products. being able to export through ME directly from AE or PP is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

Finding just the right settings can be tricky. There are many presets to choose from... maybe too many... trying to find the perfect mix of small file size and great quality can be time consuming, but once you have it, you just crank out the videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"awesome tool for exproting the required filetypes, or converting filetypes"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

I like the integration with other Adobe apps. For example, if I need a certain video filetype that After Effects or Premiere cannot export, I can still export the project from those software via Media Encoder. This saves me exporting, and then converting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

There are still some file formats that it cannot handle. For exampkle, I was recently downsaving an MKV file, and I had to use handbrake to do that. It would be great if Media Encoder could replace the need for all other encoder programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

I like the ease of use and the strong interaction with all the other Adobe software that indirectly concerns it (After Effects, Premiere...). They work perfectly together. The interface is very intuitive and well designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

Sometimes the program will crash if there are too many videos exporting at the same time (or they are very large files). However, it almost never happens, fortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gets the job done"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

It is a great to tool to have. With with you can render or convert -from and to - almost any kind of video/audio. And also it allows me to keep working with After Effects, while Media Encoder is doing the rendering of the videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

I dislike the fact that you have no control over the audio levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
