AME 2022 Watch Folder - Crashing when new AE project is added

[alistairc18849089]

Hi Adobe,

Im having an issue where it crashes or will not recognise that there is an AE project in the watch folder.

Ive tried the following -

• The comp is at the root of the AE file.
• changed render engine
• restarted
• Re installed and updated

Any help here, what am I doing wrong.

Downgrading to AME 2021 is not an option due to me using a secondary software that only accepts 2022.

Thanks,

Al

Hi Al,

Sorry for your issue.

Does it happen only with the After Effects project? Are you able to work with the Premiere Pro project or any other type of file? Also, what's the exact version of After Effects you're using. After Effects 22.0.0 has an issue with the Dynamic Link which has been fixed in the patch update 22.0.1 recently. Try updating the app if it's not already.

Let us know.

Thanks,
Nishu

Hi Nishu,

Thanks for the reply, Yes Ive updated to the latest  (22.0.1 ).

It works with mov files, and Ive tried to send to AME from premiere and this also works.

I now ran a test using just a simple ae project with shape layers and text, no expressions or images. This worked.

So now Im thinking its something with the file path for images or expressions that is tripping it up.

I will keep testing, if you have any tips please let me know 🙂

Thanks,

Al

This is an example of the AE file Im having an issue with.

Its using essential properties, replace media commands.

When added to the watch folder, media encoder will stall and crash.

Sorry for the thread of replies here,

Renders out fine inside AE, when queued in AME tries connecting but nothing happens.
