Media Encoder will not add watermark

[onetoonedevelopment]

After using Media Ecoder for a couple of years to create proxy files I now cannot get it to add my watermark.

I'm using ME version 23.1 (Build 81) on a Apple Silicon MacBook Pro.  All permissions are fine.

I have tried resizing the watermark file, repositioning it in the frame and I have tried various file formats (other than the usual png) but no matter what I do ME will not add the watermark.  I have tried the watermark file in various folders (just in case there is a permissions glitche).

Nothing works.

Try restting preferences for Pr and AME.

Hi Ann, thanks for replying.  Can you explain how you would go about resetting the preferences?

Reset preferences - Premiere Help

Thanks.  This method only allowed me to reset the Premiere preferences, it didn't give me the option to reset Media Encoder.

However, I am now getting a generic watermark when the check box in Premiere is selected but it will not add my watermark no matter what options are selected.  I am now at least getting a watermark which is an improvement but I could really do with it adding my own so that my workflow does not have to change (I/we are looking for our more prominent watermark placed top right.  The generic watermark is small and placed bottom left).

This has only started since updating to the latest Premiere and Media Encoder - we haven't changed anything else
