Media Encoder
Adobe Media Encoder is a professional video encoding and transcoding application from Adobe that automates the process of creating multiple encoded versions of video files, Adobe Premiere Pro sequences, and After Effects compositions. It supports a wide range of video codecs and output formats, allowing users to quickly export media for virtually any screen or platform. The app features background encoding, customizable presets, and integration with other Creative Cloud applications. Media Encoder is commonly used by video editors, motion graphics artists, and content creators who need to batch-process or re-encode video for different delivery formats and destinations.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAdobe shipped native Apple Silicon support for Media Encoder in 2021 (version 21 and later), and the current build available through Adobe Creative Cloud is a native Universal Binary. If your copy is still running as Intel-only under Rosetta, the straightforward fix is to update: open Adobe Creative Cloud, navigate to Media Encoder, and install or update to the latest version. The Creative Cloud installer and auto-updater both serve the native build by default on Apple Silicon Macs, so you will automatically receive the native version. Expect better performance and battery life once updated. No beta participation or special settings are required.
