I tried to open Media Encoder 2020 but a message came up, "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."
I'm using MacBook Pro & macOS Catalina v 10.15.2 (i just updated). Help!

I'm on MacBook Pro with Mojave v10.14.6 and experienced AME not opening. I tried all the solutions listed but still didn't open soooo... I uninstalled AME newest version and installed the previous version. Restarted my computer and AME and After Effects both opened. I wouldn't recommend updating AME until this bug is fixed.

We worked with Enterprise support. We were having this issue with AME and Premiere. They examined a log that showed "VTwin" was crashing. We figured we had an issue with our CoreMelt plugins, but we had the latest installer from them.
We resolved the issue, by uninstalling the CoreMelt plugins… then re-installing AME (and Premiere.)
After seeing them launch, we re-installed CoreMelt (we have the Everything Bundle) and checked again… launching fine now.
I hope the little dance wont be necessary in the future, but at least we have our apps launching again.

I contacted support today, and this was my problem too and probably has been the whole time. All is well!

Yup, exactly the same problem. I have several videos to export this week and bascially unable to do so. I removed ME and reinstalled and now it just says it encountered a problem and can't open. Adobe why is it that with each update your software gets more buggy?

What surprise me is that I posted this on December 18, 2019 that was almost 13 montsh ago. Yet the issue has not been solved. 13 months ! And people kept complaining that the Media Encoder is still NOT working. That's mind boggling!

Not sure if I've seen it anywhere on here but I have just had issues with AME 2020 crashing on startup after the latest update. I searched in vain but found a thread where someone had similar issues years ago and suggested the classic - hold shift whilst launching to clear cache - and it seems to have worked for me!?
I'm on an IMac late 2014 running Big Sur OS.

SOLVED I cant believe it after 7 months I solved it. Guys please have a look for your "Premiere Pro" and your "MediaCore" folder. Libary/Application Support/Adobe/
try old to name name differently like "Premiere Pro_OLD
start the app again and it will create a new one. For i dont know what stupid reason it worked for me for Media Encoder and Premiere Pro. Its such a shame that the support never tried this one. After 2 calls and so many emails
