Hi there, 

After updating my OS, I've been trying to open ME 25 on Macbook Pro running OS 26 and I keep getting the following error:

"Adobe Media Encoder 2025" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."

 

I've tried to uninstall and install it back a few times with no sucess. Any clues on what is happening? Thanks.

I am happy that this worked for you.

thanks for the "?" icon tip.

Somehow apple was preventing it to open. Now it's working. Thanks!

Weird.

  • How did you install the application?
  • What text do you get if you click on the "?" icon?
  • Do you have any AntiVirus or security software on the machine that may require updating, too?

 

Just verified in macOS 26. Works like expected on my machine.
