Encode media
Note: The free trial version of Adobe Media Encoder software does not include some features that depend upon software
licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding and decoding MPEG formats are available
only with the full version of Adobe Media
Encodersoftware.
The set of formats that you can export to using Adobe Media Encoder varies depending on what other Adobe
applications you have installed. The version of Adobe Media Encoder that comes with Flash Professional and the
Design and Web editions of Creative Suite 4 is just intended for exporting to Flash video formats. To export to other
video formats, you need the version that comes with the Production Premium edition, or with After Effects or
Premiere Pro.
Adobe Media Encoder workspace
The Adobe Media Encoder workspace includes tools and panels that help you easily add media assets to the encoding
queue, and select a suitable encoding format for use with the intended application and user audience. You can also edit
video using crop and trim controls, add points to trigger events at specified points during playback, and adjust the
export settings of any format for a specific application or audience.
