After Effects 2022 v22.0.1 DOES NOT EXPORT TO MEDIA ENCODER on Windows. This problem was reported for Mac, but it was directly stated that others have the same problem on Windows. Exact same symptoms, exact same behaviour. You try to export a video from After Effects using the Media Encoder Queue, and nothing happens. Media Encoder opens and just sits there doing absolutely nothing.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

So after futzing around with this stupid program for a bit, I just decided to add it to the ae render queue.There I realized there was a huge new button to add to Media Encoder, I clicked on it, and it worked immediately.

tldr: Add your comp to the AE renderer, and then hit the ME button in the render window. Hopefully it shows up.

Hope this works for you all and sorry if it doesn't.

Same as many commenters here. Have tried all the suggested fixes, including full uninstall and CC Cleaner tool wipe. I've given up now and just using previous versions of AE/ME.

Same problem here. Using Export to AME leads to empty queue. Finding the comp in the asset browser and adding from there gives a progressbar that does nothing.

I did get it to work via the render panel in AE if I make sure AME is closed and empty and I make a fresh render request as PNG sequence (other formats didn't work) in AE itself (ctrl+/) and then place it in the AME queue via the button in the AE render panel and then setup video compression etc. in AME.

I've tried reinstalling AE, AME and completely reinstalling CC+all apps after a CCcleaner wipe. Nothing works to fix it.

I'm hesitant to invest in third party tools but I've looked at this https://rainboxlab.org/tools/dume/

I can't send any project to AME! I need render everything on AE! A lot o time wasted! It even freezes sometimes!

Almost a month in and still nothing from devs? At least acknowledge the issue.

It doesn't seem like adobe is listening...

I would say, roll back to previous versions, but there have been issues with every single install I've had for years now. Memory leaks, unable to import HDRIs, unable to export to media encoder etc

After effects is easily the buggiest software I use, and I have to use 3DS Max.
I don't think we have had a single stable release since adobe started subscriptions.

I really really want to completely remove adobe from my workflow, it's WAY too unstable.
