Extremely Slow Render/Export on Adobe Media Encoder 2022

As everyone else, same issue here. Last week exporting the same videos took 2-3min, now they are taking 2+ hours for a 30sec video. Spec below (although it doesn't matter because this is a new problem that was working perfect on the same machine days ago)

Mac 12.5.1

AE 22.6

ME 22.6

Same here

Running AE 22.6.0 and ME 22.6 o a M1 Mac (64 GB, Monterey 12.4) and plenty 2,2 TB free on hard drive.

Rendered a quite simple movie in AE Render Que, default lossless in 1 min 46 sec.

Rendering the same project in ME (H.264 and Youtube preset) and it's now about 40 % done after 1 hour and 4 min – remaining: 1 hour 24 min.

Was thinking that the latest update would solve this catastrophe bug along with all problems regarding Dynamic Link – but no... same old disappointment...

Hello Everyone, Over the past few months I've been pulling my hair out in frustration watching Media Encoder take 4 hours to render a 10 second after effects clip.  That said, I stumbled onto something that allows the encoder to run at what seems to be a normal speed.  As a file was slowly rendering in ME, I opened a movie in the quicktime app.  As I was watching the movie I saw the the "Time Remaining" had sped up to finish what was gong to be another 2 hours and it finished in a few minutes.  Not sure why but having QT Open and playing and ME running in the background made it go faster.  If I quit QT and run ME in the forefront, it goes back to a crawl.

I have just spent the entire day making a tutorial on how to speed up Render times in After Effects. It does cost $20. but you will never regret spending that $20.

ME and AE are not well integrated, do not use the "Queue in ME" button.
Advice: Render from AE, and then drag finished Mov into ME. ie. The old way, that worked just fine.

I'm working with a Macbook pro. 16GB ram--Final Cut exported a 15 minute video with effects/transitions/other video files in 8 min.  Yet I'm stuck working with Adobe for this project because the client sent me an After Effects template as a base for this file.  

Here we are....4 hours later....

Seriously cannot figure out what settings is cause it to take 4 hours to render a minute and a half worth of video...

Same here. AMD 2950x with 128GB of ram with two 2080supers in SLI and it's NEVER been this slow. For some reason it only renders on 1 gpu now also. I've been dealing with creative cloud issues for years and now this takes the cake. Has anyone heard from adobe why their latest products are such trash? 

Hi everyone!
Same here, im using the latest version of After Effects and Media encore an its taking so long to export a 11 min video, even i restarted my PC 'cause i thinka that maybe solved the problem:

My Specs are: 
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz
32 GB RAM
NVIDIA RTX 3070 8gb

This is happening to me now.  9 hours to render a comp with a shape with no effects or transformation, just a shape layer sitting there doing nothing!!  Im over paying good money for this rubbish

Thanks for all the details so far. If you are rendering an After Effects composition to H.264, we are wondering if you would try out the latest AE Beta (also available in the Creative Cloud Desktop app) as it now has native H.264 export from the Render Queue. We'd like to try to understand if the slowdown in rendering happens in AE itself, or with H.264, or with the connection to AME. 

Whatever projects you can share, stripped to the minimal number of layers/effects/plugins/etc, to reproduce the problem, would be really helpful. There likely isn't a single cause here, and could be one of many things (available memory to AE/AME, plugins that do and don't support Multi-Frame Rendering, types of footage being used, etc.) so as much as you can share with us, the better chance we have of helping. 

Thanks!
