Premiere 25.5.0: app.encoder export methods don't work for H265 presets

Question

Premiere 25.5.0 (build 13), macOSFollowing methods will not work if epr preset is based on H265 (HEVC):app.encoder.encodeFile(args)
app.encoder.encodeProjectItem(args)
app.encoder.encodeSequence(args)Methods will return job ID, but nothing will happen. I didn't catch any errors in code.As soon as I switch preset path to H264, everything works correctly.It is possible to render with H265 preset in Media Encoder manually. I've tested same methods on Premiere 24.6.8, H265 preset worked, no problem here.I didn't test on Windows or older versions of Premiere 25.

>...what could be going on ???PPro (and AME) specifically disallow programmatic H265 generation. This is unlikely to change.

hi people

I have a small script I wrote a while ago to send premiere sequences to AME. it works great. but I ran into issues today having not used it in a while. Somthing has changed and now H265 encodes simply won't be added to the queue.

If the preset being called is a quicktime preset everything works fine, but when the preset is an H265 nothing gets added to the queue. The script executes without errors and .encodeSequence() returns a number that is not zero. but nothing gets added to the Queue. Its driving me crazy. I can use the H265 presets directly in AME without any issue. what could be going on ???
