Hello,

i wrote a Adobe Premiere extension and i have a big problem.

 

This object from ExtendScript "app.encoder" is null.
I have the Problem in the Following Version: 14.3.1, 15.0, 15.1 and 15.2.
At 15.4 and above the object ist fine and works.

What could be the problem?
Unfortunately, the customers who use the plug-in cannot simply update the Premiere version.

 

Is this a Premiere problem or am I doing something wrong?


My Setup: 
MacOS Monterey
Adobe CEP 9
Premiere Pro 14.3.1 to 15.2

I try it with the latest 15.4.2 version and i have the same problem. 

This Screenshot is from MacMini (end 2014) with macOS Montery 12.0.1

Premiere and Media Encoder are up and running.

Do I see it right that the object "Global => app.encoder" should never be null?

I have the problem now also with 14.3.1
The app.encoder object is simply null.

I would almost guess that it has to do with the latest macOS 12.0.1 version.

I can reproduce the behavior. 

No further 15.x releases are scheduled or planned. 

 

[The only changes we would potentially integrate into 15.x builds would be to address serious security issues.]

Bizarre; you're the first to report that. 

Is Media Encoder also installed on those systems?

Also, on line 10, you're using QE DOM; why? You can get the in and out points of sequences from the public DOM, as well...

We have no idea what could be causing that behavior, on the customer's systems.

 

As mentioned, no one else has reported the issue, and your own testing shows it's been fixed for many releases...

I think the best path forward is to address whatever issues they feel prevent them from using a current version of PPro.
