I tried to use a command like the one described at the top here.

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2023\Adobe Media Encoder.exe" --console es.processFile "D:\EventVid\Media Encoder\constructionVid.jsx"

I do not get any error, however Media Encoder does nothing. I am using Media Encoder Version 23.2(Build 63). Can someone shed some light on this. Thanks

If the file at that path does not exist, nothing will happen. Please verify.

Yes the file path exisits, I have made sure. When I run my script in Extend Script or VSCode it works perfect.

I just double checked. This is working perfectly on Windows 11 using the latest public AME release 23.2.0.63.


The command is launching AME with a script. It cannot already be open in this scenario, contrary to the VS Code scenario.

Please make sure that the app is not running and that there are no syntactic errors. Start with a very simple script such as this:

alert("Hello World!");
