After Effects 2022 V22.0.1 composition won't export via Media Encoder

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.

Hi all,

Thank you for reporting this issue and for your patience. Are you still experiencing this issue in the latest version of After Effects 2023? Looking at the thread, some of you have reported this issue was fixed by updating to 22.1.1 or higher.

 

If you are still experiencing this issue in After Effects 2023, please provide as much as you can of the following:

  1. System Specs (Platform, OS, Hardware, GPU, Drivers, etc.).
  2. AE Preferences settings (particularly Memory & Disc Cache settings)
  3. Specific details about your Project and the Comp you are trying to render, things like —
    • Imported footage types (and resolution)
    • Project color bit depth
    • Comp Resolution
    • Number of layers
    • Effects applied
    • Expressions
    • Installed third-party effects
  4. What are the exact steps you are taking from when you launch AE to when the issue with AME occurs?
  5. What errors or other feedback are you seeing?

 

Thanks again for any further information you can provide,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team

Really, After Effects has to be written from ZERO! It has so many bugs, man... Now, I've experienced crashes when I'm editing texts. The selection cursor never reaches the last character, so I just can't select the last letter. And I'm losting hours of work when it crashes suddenly...

The program is very slow and also lost connection with media encoder, and doesn't use multiprocessing in my 2018's mac pro. It's terrible...

Please start some programming from the beginning...

I can't even count the number of times I've encountered this issue over the past 5 years. Every time I spend half a day trying to fix it but the only solutions seems to be to reverse to older AE / ME versions and wait for a while until the problem has finally been fixed for the newer versions.

Please get it together, this is ridiculous considering the amount of money a subscription costs.

It's. So. Bad.

Words fail me. My needs from AfterEffects have not changed in 15 years, yet in that time the software gets slower and more buggy even though the machines it's running on are getting faster with more resources.

Adobe, you are losing customers. Sort it out.
