Adobe Media Encoder 2020 – Version 14.x

 

Hello Adobe Support Team,

I am contacting you to request official offline installers or direct download links for the following macOS applications:

1. Adobe After Effects 2020 – Version 17.7 (Build 45)

  • I currently have this version installed and working.

  • I would like to obtain a backup installer for emergency recovery in case I need to reinstall macOS or replace my computer.

  • I do not want to upgrade to After Effects 2021 (version 18.0) or a newer version.

2. Adobe Media Encoder 2020 – Version 14.x (preferably 14.9)

  • I need this version to work with my existing After Effects 2020 installation through Adobe Dynamic Link.

  • Creative Cloud only offers newer versions, which may not be compatible with my workflow.

I use macOS Monterey 12 on an Apple M1 MacBook Air.

Maintaining these specific versions is essential because I work with older After Effects projects and collaborate with other users who use older Adobe versions. Upgrading could cause project compatibility issues.

I understand that these versions are no longer available through the regular Creative Cloud download menu.

Could you please check whether official macOS installers, archived installation packages, or direct download links are available for these two specific versions?

If version 14.9 of Media Encoder is unavailable, any official Media Encoder 2020 version (14.x) would be helpful.

I have a valid Adobe account and would appreciate your assistance in preserving my existing workflow.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards

    안녕하세요, 회원님!

    요청하신 Media Encoder 2020 버전의 오프라인 인스톨러나 다운로드 링크는 제공이 불가능한 점 양해 부탁드립니다. 어도비는 보안과 시스템 안정성을 위해 현재 버전과 직전 2개 버전(N-2)까지만 공식 다운로드를 제공합니다. 2020 버전은 지원 대상이 아닙니다. 

    🔗Creative Cloud 지원 정책​

    이전 버전의 프로젝트 호환성 및 협업 프로세스 유지가 필요하신 상황인 점은 충분히 공감합니다. 하지만 공식 지원이 종료된 구버전 인스톨러는 최신 macOS 환경에서 설치 및 다이내믹 링크 연동 시 비정상적인 크래시나 호환성 오류가 발생할 수 있습니다.

    장기적인 시스템 안정성을 위해 가급적 현재 환경에 맞는 최신 버전으로 워크플로우를 마이그레이션하시는 것을 권장해 드립니다.​​​​​​
