Media Encoder 2020 just stops mid export!

[jacky16873146]

Media Encoder 2020 will not stop hanging on exports, not freezing, just stopping usually about a third of the way through. Both myself and my colleague on our two seperate machines are running into this issue on almost every export we send to Media Encoder.

We have been trying to export 15 short graphics based videos built in after effects, nothing particularly strenuous. Have spent the last few months rendering the same style videos through Media Encoder 2019 without any issues. As soon as we updated, the problems began!

It seems to freeze whenever you go to touch Media Encoder, After Effects or Premiere once the render has been started. I've been using this for years and I would like to think I'm fairly good at troubleshooting but everything I try doesnt fix it. Ive had to resort to rendering straight out of After Effects and then re-rendering straight out of Premiere.

If anyone knows how you would go about sorting the issue out and getting Media Encoder Working again, please send some help my way. This is making my job near enough impossible especially with looming deadlines.

This fix worked, but it is literally,.... the stupidest glitch ever. Frustrating.

you could also try disabling Adobe encoder CC - Edit - Preferences and disabling "enable Parallel enocding"

HEY!  It worked for me too!  Went down to background services, end task on After Effects.. my Media player (though still slow) started to render again.  GOTTA LOVE THE INTERNET   TY!

I solved the problem by just installing After Effects 2019. Everything that came later than that version can go away forever for me.
Renderings now are 20 ways faster.

This solution worked for me! Though I had to pause, play, pause, play along with closing AE three times to get past its hiccup. Rendering was stalled at the beginning for me instead of the end. *Most up to date Adobe apps as of this post.
