As usual, this update has wiped all of my presets on all machines. I was able to get them back via syncing but not the Preset Tree. I had over 100 presets arranged into folders and Watch Folders - not any more. Cannot believe this is still happening. Can you tell me how to roll back to my previous Preset Tree on a Mac with cloud syncing @Sumeet Kumar Choubey? And can you tell me if Adobe is working on fixing this? It seems like a common complaint.

Sorry to here this, the removal of the custom presets shouldn't happen. For further inverstigation, please can provide more information: From which version do you update? Was it a 22.x or a previous 23.x version? What Creative Cloud app settings do you have turned on for new installation? Is remove all previous version and preferences on or off?
Good to here you get your preset back via syncing. The PresetTree itself will be create dynamically. So if this is removed (clean preferences) then there is no chance to get it back. We will investigate to keep this PresetTree in future release on clearing the preferences, to keep a custom build structure. Once a custom preset is removed and AME didn't find it, it will be removed from the PresetTree structure and need to be added back by hand, if it would be available later. So removing the custom presets and launching AME will always remove the custom structure from the preset manager tree.

This has happened to me on every major update (14 to 15, 15 to 22, 22 to 23) and occasionally in between. This time it was 23.5 to 23.6. CC is set to import previous settings and preferences and not delete older versions. Previously I have been able to copy the preset tree file from the older version manually and get my folders back, but that did not work either this time. I expect that file is too old, as it only preserves the 22.0 folder - there is no backup of the 23.5 preset tree that I can find. Cloud sync doesn't sync my folder structure or Watch Folders, only the presets, which is frustrating as I work across multiple machines.

I've been struggling for a number of weeks now with exporting from After Effects to Media Encoder. it's been very inconsistent in doing this process, most times I do file > export > media encoder and it may even open the program, but then nothing pops up no matter how long I wait. I try to drag the comp over and that doesn't work. We have to use specific encoding for our projects via media encoder so now it takes me 3x as long because I have to render a video out via Render Queue and THEN bring that into Media Encoder to complete. I'm also unable to work on other projects during this process so I really need to be able to send projects directly to Media Encoder to render. Any suggestions on how to get this process working again?
