Media encoder will not connect to After Effects on Mac

I know this is an issue for many users. However the only "fix" I saw was about a firewall issue on Windows machines. Running AE 24.1.0 and AME 24.1.0 on a M2 mac, I am unable to send compositions to AME. It simply does nothing except open AME. 

 

Has anyone experienced this, and if so, found a fix for it?

 

Thank you!

Did you already try all those standard trickes described here? –

Can you please try the following:

  1. Make sure that versions of all apps match (required for DynamicLinkManager to work correctly).
  2. Verify your own AntiVirus / GateKepper setup. If applicable, deactivate temporarily to verify.
  3. Quit all DVA apps.
  4. Use Activity Monitor / Task Manager to kill DynamicLinkManager if it still runs. (On Windows, you need to open the Details tab to see dynamiclingmanager.exe in TaskManager.)
  5. Launch AME first.
  6. Open & export the project again.


Please let me know if this workaround works for you.
