Hi everyone,

 

I need big help with AME. I am trying to export videos on AME but it can't find the dynamic link server nor the source file. This is the error I get when I render in AME:

 

- Source File: /Users/embellezeusa/Desktop/YouTube/Youtube Video/video progress/Women being Delusional 2 part 1_AME/tmpAEtoAMEProject-Comp 1.aep
- Output File: /Users/embellezeusa/Desktop/YouTube/Youtube Video/video progress/DW 2.mp4
- Preset Used: Match Source - High bitrate

Things I tried to fix the problem but got no results:

 

1. Both After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder are updated to 2022 version 22.6

2. I have reset preferences for both programs 3 times.

3. I put the saber effect plug into the after-effects "effects folder".

4. AME has the renderer setting to: "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only"

5. I tried to export my video on After Effects but it always freezes either halfway through or near the end of the render and then crashes.

 

FYI: I use a Mac OS Laptop, not windows when using adobe programs.

 

I have spent 3 whole days trying to fix this problem but bumped into the same dynamic link error result. Someone, please help me fix this dynamic link problem cause it is driving me insane.

I am sorry to hear that. Did you remove the saber plug-in to test if the job finishes without it?
