Adobe media encoder not working

[Jaide1]

Hi! When I'm importing a project file from after effects into media encoder and then try to open the file in media encoder a "file import error pops up" saying, "could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again." I don't know why this is happening because when I try doing it with a different project it works.

Hi Jaide1,

Are there by chance any 3rd party plug-ins that your problem composition has in it that your other project doesn't have in it? Also, specifically which version of After Effects and Media Encoder are you working with?

I'll share this link below in the meantime in case this helps with any troubleshooting for these particular software versions:

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. We'll need to check what could be causing the issue since it is happening to a specific project.

In addition to the questions asked by @Brandon, I'd like to know:

• What happens when you import the .aep project file directly inside AME?
• Are you able to export the project from After Effects directly?

Let us know.

Thanks,

Shivangi

Hello I am having a similar problem with the Adobe Media Encoder. I am up to date on all of the programs. 

Here is my issue.

When I try to export an After Effects composition to the Media Encoder the Encoder is prompted and opens as it always does, but No content appears in the Queue. I waited for a while because sometimes it takes a moment, but still nothing appeared, a totally blank Queue.

I thought I found a way around by drag and droping the desired composition into the Media Encoder queue but when I attempt to start the render process I get a FAIL every time. This is the message that appears. 

**"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."

I also attempted to downgrade to an old version of the Media Encoder but that did not make a difference.

Please advise.

When I drag my composition into the the media encoder queue a file import
error appears. The composition itself doesn’t always appear in the queue so
that’s why I end up trying to drag it sometimes. I have after effects 2020
