Thanks for the responses.

I see. This will be an area I look into further at NAB. If Episode Pro
could be unseated by AME there are quite a few things Adobe needs to
address. I can't take my authoring machine out of service for
compression. We compress a lot of footage every day at Bisk Education
and this is a deal killer for us. We do anywhere from 18-35 hours of
footage a week. Some are very complex animations while others are
simple talking heads.

Not being able to set up presets that are interchangeable between AME
and AE or Premiere is really important for workflow in a production
environment like ours. This is just a real swing and miss by Adobe.
That doesn't sound like it would be that hard to implement.

Does anyone know which option to choose in render mode when
you can choose open CL, Cuda or software only in AME?

Thanks for the insight,
