Hello! I've run into a problem using ME to encode footage from AE. I'd encoded two files and suddenly in ME I received a "fail". The reason was the preset didn't match the composition yet it was the same. Then it after I updated both AE/ME and again went through AE to encode comp with ME it just freezes in ME. It's been 10 hours and ME is still connecting to the project.

Any solutions? Programs have been updated, Macbook restarted several times. Cleaned media. Everything was working fine so I don't know.

Hi Ta Neil5F93,

 

Sorry for your issue.

Could you share the exact version of After Effects and Media Encoder you're using: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-effects-you-re-using/td-p/9972137?page=1

Also, what are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)? You can try disabling the firewall or antivirus if you're using one.

Let us know if it helps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

17.6 is the AE

MacOS Catilina

Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

2.9 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7

I was able to use both yesterday. It takes a long time to be render out though.
