DISCUSS: Automatically shut down the computer when the AME render queue is complete

Ah nothing quite like pressing STOP hoping to correct a last minute mistake and see your computer shutdown before your eyes... please fix behaviour 😅 
STOP ≠ Queue Complete, OK to Shutdown

You know...

You don't really need this (or the option to sleep) if you make AME keep the machine awake while it's rendering. Then the normal sleep cycle will engage after the predefined sleep time in the OS.

This feature is now shipping in v22.5 of Adobe Media Encoder. More information is available here: https://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/whats-new/2022-2.html

It has been months since this was announced, is it ever coming to the regular version of Media Encoder?

Hello,

On version 22.4 build 53 where can I find this feature?

I'm on OS Monterey 12.4 if this is of importance.

Thank you!

Hi, I am using AME version 22.2 built 64. If my version is more updated than your AME beta 22.0 build 89. I should find such option on my window

I had never seen that option before.  It would be better if it would sleep rather than shut down.  Or provide the option for action after render queue is finished, with sleep/shutdown an option.

Make it a dropdown menu with multiple options like HandBrake does:

This option is sticky, meaning it will still be checked the next time you launch Media Encoder.

IMHO this option should not be sticky.

I use this option in Macrium Reflect sometimes, not always, when i do daily backups and it´s a great feature and it´s great that it comes to AME. But since it does indeed shut down the computer without questions it has the potential to ruin things/work. That´s why i think this option should not be sticky.

Make it "un-sticky" as default and add the option to make it sticky in the Preferences.
