Question

Adobe Media Encoder Constant Battle

I have upgraded to a new M1 Macbook Pro and have experienced multiple issues with Adobe Media Encoder failing or not even starting when exporting via After Effects. This comes and goes but has resulted in me having to reinstall the app multiple times to get it to work. I am always using updated software and feel that for the price I pay there should be better reliability from this application. Are others experience AME being a real pain at the moment with M1?

Hi Darren, 

What versions of After Effects and Media Encoder are you using? I ask because what you're describing sounds like an issue we fixed in December. 

Regards,

Fergus

After Effects 22.2

Media Encoder 22.2

 

It's back working now with no settings changes from me. Just really unreliable when you are up against deadlines. Any ideas on what might still be causing the issue? I was getting this:
