[Sumeet Kumar Choubey]

Adobe Media Encoder 14.4 is now available for download from the Creative Cloud Desktop app. This update includes multiple bug fixes and is recommended for all users.

Here is what we've fixed in version 14.4

• Hardware encoding is not available on macOS when encode height is greater than 2196 pixels.

• Twitter 1080p preset now produces higher quality outputs with match source for frame rate and higher bitrate.

• Cannot log in to Vimeo.

I've just update AME to the 14.4, but now it doesn't render at all any AE sequence. In the log file, it says it's impossible to read the source file, that could have been moved or deleted. But the source file it's still there! I'm working on Windows 10, AME 14.4 (build 35), and AE 17.1.4 (Build 37).

Now AME seems to work again, without reinstalling or downgrading, or anything else... 🤷‍:male_sign:

Hi, 

Have experienced multiple random crashes when closing down ME after rendering H264 or Quicktime - big and smaller projects same random crashes, other than that it renders just fine. Latest AMD drivers latest version of ME

[pedror68062239]

Updated and already downgrading. AME simply stoped offering .mts files compatibility.

Had to restore old version. New version hangs when trying to import files into queue. When I restored older version it worked perfectly.

Sorting in Media Browser seems to be broken

[Dowding]

Still only uses 14% of processor cores on 3960x Threadripper when encoding an image sequence with audio. STILL.

Is anyone else hainge issues with Media Encoder 14.x when exporting in H.264?
Every project (doesn't matter if After Effects or Premiere Pro) i try to render out in H.264 failes to render before the 10 second mark.
With the whole Adobe Creative Cloud 2019 setup i never had any problems, updated to the latest Adobe versions just today.

currently working on a Lenovo P520, Intel Xeon W-2125, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro P400

[SickSpider]

Yes, it hangs after going on for about 10sec' than stops all together than the PC cant get rid of it either.

[alexdejesus]

Yes, having problems with Premiere Export to Media Encoder. I was advised to revert back to previous version

[defaultwprk3f27b05l]

I can't render anything after this update. There is a bug!

[adeastin0711]

14.4 Crashing on every AE render, sites source files dont exist. Attempting to role back to older versions, instalation fails on every attempt. Need to get away from Adobe products. Getting more and more unreliable. It's okay though, paying clients with deadlines TOTALLY understand things like this happening.

Premiere Export to Media encoder problems. When I hit the Queue button after putting in the YouTube destination, does not publish

[Vadim5E70]

Render time of H.264 from After Effects became extremely slow. 3 hours for 1,5 minutes comp with almost 0 effects, really?

Are you sure that AME is 2020? Works like 1920.

How can I get Adobe Media Encoder to shut down my computer after encoding is complete?

[shellkursk]

I don't have any h264 export presets Though all the files are in their proper place in the right folder

[chriscatalano]

Did you get this resolved? After updating from 14.3 to 14.7 I lost most of the encoding presets as well as all of the publish options (except for ftp).

[jamien71198894]

I cannot even get encoder to open now. I'm on a deadline and I'm pulling my hair out. here's the error message. anyone else encountering the same thing? Any help would be most helpful.

*Please note that I have tried to delete the cache file like it's been suggested in other forums. it still won't open

[lauriehasnip]

This latest version is not working at all well in MacOS Catalina – it takes forever to send jobs from After effects, when you start the queue it keeps hanging on waiting for dynamic link, often erroring out so you have to reset the job status, and then it hangs on quit leaving you with no option but to force it.

[anders_hattne]

Media Encoder must be the worst product they offer. 
Just seeing how abandoned the comunity is speaks a lot.. Ridiculous. 

[scrozier]

Doesnt recognize this setting. I think this was a bug before but not its back again and it sucks. 

[Karlo5CE3]

Stuck in the middle of rendering. Sometimes can't even connect with the ae project. Downgrading. Waste of time.
