MEDIA ENCODER WON'T CONNECT TO DYNAMIC LINK SERVER

This is an issue that I know has affected many people and is something that I have endured many times.

 

When I send a comp to render from AE to AME it doesn't get past 'connecting to dynamic link server'. It eventually just fails.

 

I used to be able to resolve the issue by restarting my computer however this no longer works. 

I have recently updated to the latest versions, this has made no difference.

 

AE 14.9

AME 17.70

 

I have purged my disk cache etc and reset preferences. I am currently rendering as .MOV from AE and then importing to AME to encode but this is disruptive to my workflow.

 

Any advice on how to resolve the issue would be appreciated.

Correct answer EckiAME

DynamicLink only works if you have matching versions of the apps installed, e.g. AME and After Effects 23.6.

Same issue here. Uninstalled and re-installed both AE 17.7.0 and ME 14.9 and still unable to export from AE to ME and whike in ME when selecting add AE comp still Dynamic Link won't connect.
