Designed for video editors, it is a media encoder solution that helps to set output location, add effects, create user presets, change program duration, export multitrack session, and more.
Viloud is perfect for broadcasters, marketing teams, video content owners and creators who are looking to stream their content easily in a live linear way.
Using media encoder for the very first time was a great relieve to me, superfast and the most amazing thing is its integration abilities with other Adobe Product.
And the program does not warn you about it. With high compression of input files (e.g. from a drone or a sports cam), badly converted areas (pixel spots) are created.
Another aspect I truly appreciate is that the amount of codecs in which we can export projects are very good. The rendering time is very good and the UI of the app is nice.
Sometimes the program will crash if there are too many videos exporting at the same time (or they are very large files).
I love the idea of this software existing the most, everytime I use it I thank god for its existence. Plus its ease of use and its options for rendering.
Often, a compile-time error pops up if there is less disk space than 2 times the size of the output file.
What I like the most about this software is that it implements so smoothly with the Adobe products such as: Premiere Pro and After Effects. They work perfectly together.
Sometimes the interface is slow, is hard to use in low-end/mid-range pc's, sometimes it can take so much ram so you need to be carefull.
Viloud is an amazing way to create your own TV channel that is easy to use, affordable, and it has a great customer support team that is always there for you.
As your channel grows you have to constantly pay for more storage and bandwidth so that can be costly over time.
The thing I like most about the software is its ease of use and then when you do have a question, the customer service is terrific. They answer me quickly and they give me real, honest answers.
I find that because I'm not technical, I have to learn a lot of new things at the same time and that can be frustrating and very slow in setting up my channel.
Viloud is helping me tremendously with my traveling business videos and made my dream come true in an affordable and easy way.
There was a problem with going live when I first began using Viloud.
Overall, we're happy we made the purchase. We believe it will help us make money in the future so we look at it as one of the investments to help us reach our financial goals.
If you want your content to air at 6:45pm you have to scroll and drop it in the linear line during this time.
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Handel. I'm a videographer. And I give Adobe Encoder a four out of five. For more reviews, like this click below. So we had Final Cut Compressor before we used Media Encoder and both have their trade offs. But we ultimately ended up switching to Adobe Media Encoder. So we switched to Adobe Media Encoder because of really the dynamic link. It can link with all the other Adobe Suite products. It links with Premier, After Effects, InDesign. It really helps you render out the files in a robust software. Final Cut Compressor was all right. It did cover a variety of formats. But actually, Media Encoder covers more formats than Compressor does. Media Encoder was intermediary difficulty. I mean, we came from Compressor, which really simplified the UI. But Media Encoder does take some getting used to. You have to navigate the top bar menu and look for presets to implement. And you have to search for specific renders that you want to use. So it is quite difficult to use, but a couple YouTube tutorials should help you out. So before switching to Adobe Media Encoder, I do recommend that you use the other Creative Cloud applications like Premier Pro, After Effects. And then you can actually integrate with Media Encoder. It's not really a great standalone software, although it can work like that. And Compressor works better on Apple, and Media Encoder is going to work better on Windows operating systems. So I recommend you use Windows as well.
