Question

Media Encoder command is failing

Hi, I’m attempting to run the following command in MacOS (it is lifted straight from the guide for setting this up):

"/Applications/Adobe Media Encoder 2025/Adobe Media Encoder 2025.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Media Encoder 2025"
 --console es.processFile /Users/user-account/Desktop/Test/test.jsx

When I run it, Media Encoder opens and I get the following response in terminal and then it just hangs and does nothing:

One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Could be wrong but it doesn’t even seem like it’s getting to the script file for that to be the issue, the command just isn’t working. Any advice?

    The log does not look related. Can you post your test.jsx?

    // make sure to replace "\\" by "/" on Mac with a valid path
    var source = "/Users/user-account/Downloads/movie.mov”;
    var preset = "/Users/user-account/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/25.0/Presets/Web Proxy.epr“;
    var destination = "/Users/user-account/Desktop/Test”;

    var exporter = app.getExporter();

    if (exporter) {
       var encoderWrapper  = exporter.exportItem(source, destination, preset);

       exporter.addEventListener("onEncodeComplete", function(eventObj) {
            // We can get the encoding status from the event or from the exporter
            $.writeln("Encode Complete Status: " + eventObj.encodeCompleteStatus);

            var encodeSuccess = exporter.encodeSuccess;
            $.writeln("Encode Complete Status alt: " + encodeSuccess);
        }, false)

        exporter.addEventListener("onError", function(eventObj) {
            // We can get the encoding status from the event or from the exporter
            $.writeln("Error while encoding");

            var encodeSuccess = exporter.encodeSuccess;
            $.writeln("Encode Complete Status: " + encodeSuccess);
        }, false)

    }

    1. Pass in the full path to the script.
    2. Make sure the files under the mentioned paths and the target folder do exist.

    What do you see in the AME UI? Any errors?
