Exporting Problem

[devoiryk40745318]

Hi,

Iv'e got a problem with exporting from After effects, when i try exporting through media encoder it just doesnt show up on the media encoder "queue" box, and when i try exporting it within After effects through 'render queue' it doesnt give me anywhere an option to export it with h264 or mp4....

how can i fix this??

If you stay in AE environement - you can't export to mp4 in newest AE version. To be able to do that you have to go to older version of AE or instal some adional plugin/script f.eg. AfterCodec to be able to do that.

You can also render from AE to some intermediate codec (QT/Animation, ProRes, Cineform) and then put that file into AME and render to mp4) - and that I would suggest to you. I know that it seems to be obsolete way of thinking when we have dynamic link and way to render straight from AME but rendering from AE with AME works slow.
As for AME not being able to pickup AE render command you can check if:
a) you have AE and AME installed from the same release

b) restart your OS - sometimes Adobes Dynamic Link hangs and only rrestart is able to help
c) try some other way of importing than going to Composition>Add to AME queue f. eg:
- just drag n'drop your composition that you need to render from AE project panel to AME queue
- drag n'drop your AE project file into AME and then chose what composition you need to render
- in AME go to File>Add After Effects Composition...

Be sure you have the latest update for AE 16.0.1 because in the previous version (16.0), a bug was reported and the dynamic link not working so please let us know you AE version?
