Hello, I made a project in After Effects and clicked 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue' to render my project in Adobe Media Encoder (AME). The format that I use to render is always H.264 / Mp4. However, it keeps failing, crashing or getting frozen. Sometimes it shows me an error message with a fail sign, but sometimes it doesn't. When it happens it looks like my render is frozen. It barely proceeds and the estimated time says 200~300 hours remaining. I have been doing other similar projects in AE since early this year, so I know it shouldn't be taking this long. All of my projects are very similar and follow the same rendering settings and format. Also, they should take maximum 6~7 hours to render, normally 4 hours. The projects are not super complicated or heavy. It makes no sense that this job needs to take hundreds of hours.  Like I mentioned above, I have been doing the same job and it feels like this issue happens so much more often these days. Has there been a

Does encoding with Media Encoder usually take a very long time?

First of all, I'm using a Macbook with the M1 chip. I'm saying this because all the solutions I found (some which didn't even have my specific problem) are using Windows. In After Effects, when I click "Add to AME render queue," it doesn't open at all. So I take matters into my own hands and open it manually, and it's loading up all that stuff, but I notice that it's constantly stopping at "Loading BCCVectorDisplacement.bundle." I tried looking for it in Finder but I only got logs of "Plugin loading" or whatever. Is this something I'm missing or causing the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Several of my exports for the last two days have parts of the video where it looks like the color has been taken completely out. I can't figure out what is causing it. Looks fine in Premiere program window, only shows up in export. Has anyone else encountered this? 

I home video on VHS to an AVI file in YUV2 4:2:2 NTSC 720x480. I'd like to encode to another codec that is more efficienct for watching across my computers and home network. I would like to keep 4:2:2 chroma sampling.  I tried H.264 and MPEG2 but my output files always seem to be 4:2:0 (using mediainfo to verify). Please help - looking for tips. Ok using another codec if needed to produce quality results as long as it can be viewed over many devices.

After Effects and Premiere Pro will not send directly to media encoder, media encoder wont even open anymore, just crashes and takes the whole PC out with it, been like this for 3-4 days now... running a 32gb ram, AMD 6 processer with Nvidea GTX50 8gb graphics card why are all of adobes apps so slow, buggy and generally terrible.   I've reinstalled all of the apps, full pc clean and reboot then re-install making sure all are the same version and adobe media encoder still won't open, or opens and then spends ages connecting to 'dynamic link server' before crashing or failing the project have tried exporting video through after effects internal exporter but it reckons 6hrs for a 7 minute long video with audio? its a still picture too. ADOBE Help us out! would have cancelled subscription already if i wasnt signed up for a year as for the past couple of months it has been nothing but hassle and really stomps all over your "creative dreams"  :(:(:(&nb

I am trying to open the preferences menu on Adobe Media Encoder 22.0.  I have restarted several times and I still can't access.  I click on the menu and nothing opens.  I have been struggling with Mogrts not being available when I export through Media Encoder and I saw a video about turning off "Import Sequences Natively" but I can't access this menu to do that.  Please help!

I would like to use media encoder and dynamic link with after affects but it does'nt work. Nothing happen. With Premiere too. Unusable. And this since the last two updates. It's a shame that you can't use this software properly on a mac. It just crashes constantly.

Help! I am getting this error message. Yes, my apps are all up to date and I restarted my machine. Working on a PC. 

Media Encoder is not working. I can open it frome After Effect, but it says that it can not find my comp. When I drag it inside AME it tries to connect to the project forever. Nothing more happen. I uninstalled the app and installed it again (for AE and AME). Same issues. It's impossible to export anything.

Hello, everyone,I've just update Premiere and Media Encoder to the 2022 versions.  When I tried to render an h.264 file, the encoder got to 4 seconds, then just stopped.  No error message, just back to "Not currently encoding."  The files will render under other containers, just not h.264.  Is there something I'm suddenly not doing, or is this an actual bug?

Is there any way to apply a .cube LUT in Me? It seems to only use .itx Thanks 👍/Per

I'm trying to render a project from Adobe After Effects 2022 in Adobe Media Encoder 2022. I have the up-to-date versions on both of them. I put in all of my settings and click the start render button. Suddenly the render stops and all buttons + settings are greyed out. I cannot restart the render, nor change my settings. I have had no luck finding this problem or any solutions on any other forums. I have purchased the legitimate version of Adobe Creative Cloud and I am a little bit new to all of this. This is how AME looks after it stops rendering. 

I'm getting errore messages when I try to create a proxy for my file B.Both on AME 2020 and 2022.For file A I managed to create one the first time, but upon trying again it also gives me an error.For shorter Files it does work, but for that specific 4k iPhone .MOV file, it just doesn't want to.I only need a way, so I can edit my 4k files in Premiere smooth.(Already tried to convert in VLC and just add it as a proxy, but the video outsyncs) I just tried to turn "Renderer:" to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only"and it gives me the following error: - Encoding Time: 00:58:3412/06/2021 10:46:12 PM : Encoding Failed------------------------------------------------------------Unable to import video E:...CameraB.MOVFile contains Bad frames.Unable to import video E:...CameraB.MOVFile contains Bad frames.Unable to import video E:...CameraB.MOVFile contains Bad frames.[Same lines repeating a lot!]Export ErrorError compiling movie.Frame Creation ErrorBad allocation while creating disk

Hello! So This has been going on for a while - where Media Encoder would stop at the very end, or wont start rendering at all. My solution is always to restart my computer, but obviously not ideal! I have tried uninstalling AE & Media Encoder and installing again. Problem still persists. Here's my computer details if that helps:AE 2022 Version 22.0.1 (Build 2)Media Encoder 2022 Version 22 (Build 107)Windows Pro 10, Version 21H2 Device name DESKTOP-GP24DG9Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHzInstalled RAM 32.0 GBSystem type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor500-700GB free on C & D Drive. Anyone else experiencing this issue? 

Hi,Every time I try to use Media Encoder for exporting longer sequences my computer crashes. I did a full install of my operating system and Adobe products but that did not fix my problems. I create a program that is 30 minutes in length. The only remedy is to export the sequence in 3 separate 10 minute chunks and then re-export the entire 30 minute program. I have a second computer that is having the same problem. I tried exporting directly from Premiere Pro and sending the file to Media Encoder to export.What needs to be done for the exporting to not crash the computer?Before this 2017 update I had problems of Premiere Pro crashing during rendering of the 30 minute sequence. I also had export problems of random audio glitches in the output that were not in the timeline. It was ghost audio of extra parts of the video in random places. There seems to be a lot of exporting issues in the past months.Thanks,JasonSequence settings:1920 x 1080No Fields (Progressive Scan)Audio 48000 HzQuickt

Does anyone have this similar problem? I've updated my media encoder along with After Effects and Premiere Pro to the new version but whenever I render it fails and just gives me the"Error compiling movieExport ErrorError completing render Writing with exporter: H.264Writing to file: \\?E:\Podcast\EP8\01 Talk About Costumes.mp4Writing file type: H264Around timecode: 00:00:0003 - 00:00"00"16Component: H264 of type ExporterSelector: 9Errror code: 3" Even Soft Encoding fails whenever I render with H264, the solution I found was rendering it to other formats like QuickTime but it takes a lot of time and the file size is so big. The only solution I found so far was to revert (AME, After Effects, Premiere Pro) back to 2021 or older versions to render properly.Maybe the RAM or GPU in my laptop is not compatible with the new Adobe Products? I've tried updating all the driver but it's still the same problem. I'm using Xiaomi MI Notebook Pro.

So when i export anything either from ae or even just a normal avi the video becomes really fast, I have an example attached

I've update media encoder to the latest version, but since then, when i try to export from premiere pops up a notification which says that the Adobe Media Encoder is not installed.Both, Premiere and Encoder are installed and updated to the latest version.... Someone have any idea on how to fix this? Thanks

Hello, I wanted to ask about the possible reasons why my computer seems to have a hard time loading anything when Adobe Media Encoder is rendering just a couple  1-3min h.264 1080p files on my computer. The internet is drastically slowed down, and I can't seem to use any other software without enduring significant lagging while AME is rendering videos. The Adobe Media Encoder is using the Mercury Playback Engine Software only, and I've unchecked the "import sequences natively" in the Preferences.

When I try to export compostion with after effects with Adobe media encoder it won't show up in Media encoder.When I drag the comp directly it shows up in media encoder but stuck at  "Connecting to project" Screenshot attached.My AE and Media encoder is Latest.I"m using Windows 10.

Español:Hola, ¿porqué un video de una hora, 1´00´´00, que me pesa 80mb al pasarlo por media encoder (buscando reducir su tamaño y guardarlo en mi PC o subirlo a mi Facebook) termina pesando 380mb? He utilizado el preseteo de DG Fast Channel 480.Agradecido de antemano por sus comentarios. English:Hello, why does a video of one hour, 1 ́00 ́ ́00, that weighs me 80mb when passing it through Media Encoder (looking to reduce its size to save it on my PC or upload it to my Facebook) ends up weighing 380mb? I used de presset DG FAst Channel 480.Thank for your comments.

Hello,i followed all recomendations from the community. unfortunatelly, media endoder is not working for me. i used it in two different computers and the result was the same... nothing rendered from After effects.is it possible to run the previous versions of media endoder and after effects? it was working fine until the update... practically, i cannot render any of my projects. : (any aditional suggestions?thanks

I'm having an issue in which whenever I'm creating proxies off Blackmagic 4-6k footage my adobe media encoder will crash.It might make it through a few clips but will always crash eventually.It'll simply close down completely and quietly, and ask to submit a crash report without freezing the system or anything.I have tried to revert to multiple older versions of Media encoder aswell as Premiere and the latest versions, and this has not solved the issue at all, I have also cleared the cache located in the settings of media encoder, and this has not helped either. Any help would be apprechiated as I'm beginning to run out of solutions.
