Error exporting mp4 file from Animate - publishing fails in Adobe Media Encoder

I can't seem to export my Animate file to mp4. It gets 60% of the way through and then says Publishing Failed in Adobe Media Encoder. All my Adobe programs are up to date.

    I am having this issue....almost 4 years later than this post. I even tried publishing old animate files that I have had no issues in publishing in the past and it still failed

    I'm using version 25 - the latest version - on my MacBook and I'm having this issue. Is it still not fixed??

    @carolinem74682505 This issue has been addressed in the latest Animate update 21.0.9 released today. Please update your copy of Animate & Adobe Media Encoder to the latest using Creative Cloud Desktop application to avail the fix

    Seems Media Encoder is busted again, lots of complaints with v.22.0 here: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911308-media-encoder

    Roll back to another version that isn't 15.4 or 22.0. Even older versions work with the latest Animate release.

    @carolinem74682505 , Are you using latest version - 15.4 of Media Encoder ?

    If yes, there is a known issue with it on Mac. As a workaround to this, please install previous version of Media Encoder (ver 15.2) and try exporting video again. Let me know if you still continue to face issues.

    Thanks, Sukhesh.

    Thanks Sukhesh, where can I download an older version? And do I need to uninstall 15.4?

    In CC app you will see something like 'other available versions'.

    Choose a previous version and it will replace the current one that does not work.
