What do you like best about Adobe Media Encoder?

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.

What do you dislike about Adobe Media Encoder?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe Media Encoder:

I use this for direct linking with Premiere. I prefer Handbrake for shrinking files or converting them if they are separate from Premiere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Media Encoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm a video editor by trade, so Media Encoder enables me to be more efficient when exporting, especially when my job often requires a lot of versioning and delivery of different formats for each project. It also allows me to save time when batch exporting stock clips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
