Try rendering in a different format, most notably not h.264 or .mov container or anything referencing quicktime. This might be a holdover bug from when Adobe removed it from AE for a few years for reasons that satisfied no one, and apple decided to discontinue the only built in player that could show transparency >:V
What is your workflow? After Effects Export via AME from within Ae? Dragging Ae comps into AME directly? What exactly is your source material? Does After Effects direct export work? Does AME finish the encoding despite the error message?
I'm working on a pretty simple composition in AE. Yes, I tried to export via "Add to AME Queue..." from AE, In AME the "Hardware Encoding" is not supported, but in direct AE export, it's working. AME exports are ok i guess, but it's consuming much time as it's using "Software Encoding"
If you need any further details, I can do a screen record.
You don't include crucial information ... your CPU, the specific media, and the settings you are trying to export to. As all of those details matter for this process.
The issue is, if I render directly through After Effects, it can use hardware encoding, but if I render through Media Encoder, it only uses software encoding. Even with the same settings.
I'm sorry to hear about this. Some export settings don't support hardware acceleration. Please share screenshots of your export settings so I can take a closer look.
Moving to Discussions for troubleshooting.
Thanks,
