Media Encoder 2018 Hanging
Media Encoder 2018 (12.0) has been working on rendering a 3:00 video with no effects for 2 hours with no progress. I've tried all I can think of.
Media Encoder 12.0.1 will not open at all, so I downgraded to AME 2017 and Premiere Pro 2018 12.1.0 wouldn't even recognize it, so I uninstalled and reinstated AME 2018 12.0, and Premiere sends files to be rendered to it, but when started, Media Encoder just sits there. In my system logs, I found this:
TIC TCP Conn Event [25:0x61000056e040]: 2
TIC TCP Conn Cancel [25:0x61000056e040]

It looks as though there's some sort of error in app-to-app communication. I've uninstalled and reinstalled each version (2017, 2018 12.0, and 2018 12.0.1) several times, with no luck. Any ideas? I use Media Encoder all the time, and this is a serious blow to my workflow if I can't get it resolved.
