Adobe Media Encoder CC 13.1.5 for Mac is Adobe's dedicated media processing app for video editors who need to convert footage from one format to another without tying up their editor. It ingests, transcodes, creates proxies and outputs finished files to almost any format while you keep editing.

It is aimed at video professionals and serious creators who deliver to several platforms at once: the same project can be queued for YouTube, broadcast, archive and social formats in a single run. Media Encoder is a paid Creative Cloud app — it is included with Premiere Pro and Creative Cloud Pro plans, and Adobe offers a free trial for new users, but there is no free full version.

Key Features

  • Transcode and export video and audio to a wide range of delivery formats and codecs
  • Built-in presets for YouTube, Vimeo, broadcast and devices, plus your own custom presets
  • Watch Folders that automatically encode any file dropped into them
  • Create proxies for smooth editing of heavy footage, and publish directly to destinations
  • Tight integration with Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition and Character Animator queues

How to Download

  1. Download from the official site
  2. Start the free trial or sign in with the Adobe account that holds your Creative Cloud subscription, then install Media Encoder through the Creative Cloud app.
  3. Launch it from Applications, queue your first file and choose a preset to start encoding.

Is Adobe Media Encoder CC free?
No. Version 13.1.5 was a Creative Cloud release supplied by subscription, and current versions are still subscription software with a free trial for new users. It is not a free full version.

Can I use Media Encoder without Premiere Pro?
Yes, it works as a standalone transcoder, though its queue integration is most useful alongside Premiere Pro or After Effects. Only install it from Adobe — unofficial installers often carry malware.
