Adobe Media Encoder Not Working

[seanr76138509]

Ever since I updated all my adobe applications, today 10/26, ME has not been working at all. Sometimes it will allow me to send my After Effects project to the queue , other times nothing will happen. I noticed ME has trouble connection to Dynamic Link Server as well, not sure if this helps. 

- Thanks in advance!

here is a half-solution for AE and PP, and AME

if you want to import to AE file to PP, and the app freezes

open the PP file which you are working on (don't try locate files) then
open ur AE file go to File > Adobe dynamic link > New PP sequence, this will create a new sequence in ur PP file, don't worry about it, now you can import the AE file, from PP go to File > Import (link media will not work)

FOR AME
after doing the steps above for PP, now the AME working for me, after tapping on Add to AME... it took about 10sec for the file to show up in AME

Hope this helps

Me too! Media Encoder has trouble connecting to my After Effects projec

Updated on October 27. Since then I can't use Media Encoder

I have the same issue! I can't render in H264 from Media Encoder and Premiere.

Yup. me too. I've tried uninstalling ME, rolling back, reuploading 2022 versions, restarting computer, emptying caches, etc, etc. I got one project from AE to get to ME and work, but then made a new composition a 2022 AE and tried to send to 2022 ME and it just won't recognize it whether I send it from AE or try and laod it from ME. I worried about whether I should have updated to newer versions when I had to get things done this week. I guess I should have been more cautious. Definitely not working.

I have the same problem! I have to restart my Mac to fix it, but then AME stood up again after a couple of render. When I try to stop the render AME stops working at all and I have to force quit and restart again my Mac. I think I'm gonna disintall version 22 and go back to the previous version. It's insane!

I also ecventually just rolled back to earlier versions of Charater Animator, ME, Premier and AE. It is all working now that I've done that. Still, what a pain in the ass. Not going to download the update until I hear they've worked this out.

Same problem here. What a shitshow!

Same issue. (Mac OS 11.6.1)

After Effects won't add to Media Encoder queue.

Beginning to think Dynamic Link is a fool's errand. Come on, Adobe.

Me too! Same problem!
ME has failure to render any video. ME version 22.0 (Build 107)

[Johnnyseagul]

me too... updated and now media encoder will render one project then refuse to accept any others and just hangs - such bullshite. I literally just paid my year's subscription and these are the two key bits of software I use. Totally unacceptable.

Anyone else beginning to think Adobe would rather us just use Handbrake?

Having the same issue here, ever since the latest updates. ME simply wouldn't import my AE project, or if it somehow does, it crashes almost instantly. I hope they'd fix this asap 😞

I know my solution is not for the faint of the heart, but as a workaround I queued my project within AE and rendered it as an AVI (I know...very much GB consuming). Once it was finished I then imported my AVI to AME and converted to a regular sized MP4 video file and deleted the AVI. 

Doesn't fix it, but gets things done while Adobe takes care of it.

Ps. I only had this issue with when opening a project created at the previous AE version. New projects worked perfectly on AME.

Same here!

With every export from AUDITION, AME will always hangs and then both apps need to be restarted. (All my apps are up-to-date, latest windows 10 build...)
