About Adobe Media Encoder
Adobe Media Encoder ingests footage, transcodes it, creates proxies and outputs to a wide range of formats. Workflows can be automated with presets, Watch Folders and Destination Publishing, and Time Tuner adjusts a clip's duration without reopening a project. LUTs and loudness corrections can be applied at export.
It is closely integrated with Premiere Pro and After Effects, so it suits people already working in Adobe Creative Cloud who want rendering to run as a separate queue.
Strengths
- Batch transcoding with reusable presets
- Watch Folders automate encoding of new files
- Proxy creation and LUT and loudness correction at export
