Adobe Media Encoder is a video processing application that allows users to convert files into other types of files. It is an encoding engine for Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, and Adobe Character Animator. Adobe Media Encoder is used to export videos to video-sharing websites like YouTube and Vimeo, devices ranging from professional tape decks to DVD players, mobile phones, and high-definition TV sets. It is an important application for video editors because it allows them to continue using Premiere Pro and After Effects while their project is being encoded. Without Media Encoder, editors would be stuck watching the encoding process, which depending on the file, can take hours or even days.
Some key features of Adobe Media Encoder include:
-
Encoding: Adobe Media Encoder encodes projects without requiring the user to wait hours, or even days, for the encoding process to complete. It is compatible with a wide selection of video file formats, including MOV and MP4.
-
Background Exporting: Adobe Media Encoder allows you to speed up your workflow by exporting in the background, creating proxies, and converting files to different formats.
-
Presets: Adobe Media Encoder has a Preset Browser where you can quickly find almost any imaginable format for your output file.
-
Media Browser: Adobe Media Encoder has a Media Browser panel where you can find all the files you have added for rendering.
-
Cue: The Cue panel is the heart of the application where you find all the files you have added for rendering.
Overall, Adobe Media Encoder is a powerful program that allows video editors to export their videos to a variety of formats and devices, while continuing to work on their projects in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
