of the new file. For example, if you encode a video clip and create the output file video.avi, and then re-encode the same
file without first deleting video.avi, Adobe Media Encoder names the next file video_1.avi.
If Increment output File Name checkbox is disabled, name your files in such a way so that they don't indvertently
overwrite one another.
Specify Output File Destination By default, Adobe Media Encoder places exported files in the same folder as the source
video clip. To choose a different destination folder in which to place encoded media clips, navigate to the desired folder
on your system.

Memory
RAM Reserved For Other Applications Adobe Media Encoder shares a memory pool with Adobe Premiere Pro, After
Effects, SpeedGrade, Prelude and Photoshop. The RAM reserved for other applications value indicates how much
memory is in this memory pool. You can affect this value by giving more or less RAM to other applications (and the
operating system). Give more RAM to the applications that share the memory pool by decreasing the RAM Reserved
For Other Applications value.
Note : Don’t set the RAM Reserved For Other Applications preference to be very low. Depriving the operating system
and other applications of memory can cause poor performance.
Sync Settings
Keep your settings synchronized across multiple machines with the Sync Settings preferences. You can upload
preferences related to your workspace layouts, keyboard shortcuts, and presets to your Creative Cloud account. You can
then download the settings and apply them to other machines.
For more information, see the Sync Settings article.
