Media Encoder is not picking up render export from After Effects

Hello, I am currently using Mac Catalina and have been using After Effects and rendering with Media Encoder, but after this recent update, Media Encoder is not picking up the render queue from After Effects whenever I export from AE.

 

Is this a common issue? What is the current workaround? Thanks in advance

I cannot get them to connect by Composition > Add to Adobe Media Encoder, but I was able to add to the After Effects Render queue where there is now a button that says Queue in AME and it worked then.

Same here.. I tried everything but nothing happened, it still says failed to render.
So now we have to wait for another update I guess..

THIS WORKS! Thank you SO much for posting. I add the project to the AE render queue, tell it where the output file should be, click the "Queue in AME" button and bam, it's rendering!

No Problem! I unfortunately am now having issues actually rendering it out of AME... It just keeps saying connecting to project and does nothing... You dont have this problem?
