Adobe Media Encoder Not Working

Ever since I updated all my adobe applications, today 10/26, ME has not been working at all. Sometimes it will allow me to send my After Effects project to the queue , other times nothing will happen. I noticed ME has trouble connection to Dynamic Link Server as well, not sure if this helps. 

 

- Thanks in advance!

Same here!

 

With every export from AUDITION, AME will always hangs and then both apps need to be restarted. (All my apps are up-to-date, latest windows 10 build...)

I know my solution is not for the faint of the heart, but as a workaround I queued my project within AE and rendered it as an AVI (I know...very much GB consuming). Once it was finished I then imported my AVI to AME and converted to a regular sized MP4 video file and deleted the AVI. 

 

Doesn't fix it, but gets things done while Adobe takes care of it.

 

Ps. I only had this issue with when opening a project created at the previous AE version. New projects worked perfectly on AME.

Having the same issue here, ever since the latest updates. ME simply wouldn't import my AE project, or if it somehow does, it crashes almost instantly. I hope they'd fix this asap 😞

Anyone else beginning to think Adobe would rather us just use Handbrake?

me too... updated and now media encoder will render one project then refuse to accept any others and just hangs - such bullshite. I literally just paid my year's subscription and these are the two key bits of software I use. Totally unacceptable.

Same issue. (Mac OS 11.6.1)

After Effects won't add to Media Encoder queue.

Beginning to think Dynamic Link is a fool's errand. Come on, Adobe.

Yup. me too. I've tried uninstalling ME, rolling back, reuploading 2022 versions, restarting computer, emptying caches, etc, etc. I got one project from AE to get to ME and work, but then made a new composition a 2022 AE and tried to send to 2022 ME and it just won't recognize it whether I send it from AE or try and laod it from ME. I worried about whether I should have updated to newer versions when I had to get things done this week. I guess I should have been more cautious. Definitely not working.

I have the same problem! I have to restart my Mac to fix it, but then AME stood up again after a couple of render. When I try to stop the render AME stops working at all and I have to force quit and restart again my Mac. I think I'm gonna disintall version 22 and go back to the previous version. It's insane!

I have the same issue! I can't render in H264 from Media Encoder and Premiere.
