Adobe Media Encoder is Adobe's batch encoding and rendering application, used by video editors, motion graphics artists and post-production professionals to automate the process of converting media files to multiple formats. It functions as a companion to Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, streamlining the export of sequences and projects without blocking editing work. The software handles video, audio and image files in a wide variety of codecs and containers, offers customizable presets for streaming and broadcast standards, includes GPU-accelerated encoding, and integrates Dynamic Link for seamless workflow between Creative Cloud applications. It is distributed as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAdobe shipped native Apple Silicon support for Media Encoder back in 2021 (version 15.4), and every release since then—including the current version—is available natively. If you are still running the Intel-only build under Rosetta, updating will give you noticeably faster encoding performance and better battery life on your M-series Mac. The simplest path is to launch the Creative Cloud Desktop application, go to the Apps section, find Media Encoder, and click Update. If Media Encoder was installed directly via a standalone installer rather than through Creative Cloud, visit adobe.com and download the latest Media Encoder installer—it will automatically serve the native Apple Silicon build to your Mac. For existing users with an active Creative Cloud subscription, the update is immediate and carries over all your presets and settings.
