Adobe Media Encoder CC won't start if flash player plugin is installed

Few days ago I installed windows 8.1 pro on a brand new PC and I was having problem starting AME, clicking on icon simply doesn't sort any effect, the software didn't open. I tried starting it as administrator, deleting \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\, reinstalling any CC program and even using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool didn't solve the problem.
At the same time, I was having problem with flash player and firefox; it was just crashing at start, for example at the beginning of a youtube video. Even reinstalling the plugin or firefox itself won't resolve the issue. I resolved by disabling protected mode on flash and after that, the plugin works perfectly in firefox.
Going back to the AME problem, after a few tries, I managed to resolve it by doing this:
- uninstall Premiere pro and relative AME
- uninstall Creative Cloud app
- uninstall flash player plugin
- run AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and clearing ALL the stuff
- install CC app
- install PP and relative AME
- NOT INSTALLING flash player plugin for firefox
Only by doing this, AME starts without any problem. Even after a couple of reboots, it starts nicely.
After that, I tried to reinstall flash player plugin for firefox. Just after install, with firefox still closed, i disabled the protected mode to avoid any crashes. And by this point, AME won't start anymore. By just installing the flash player plugin (without even let it crash once) AME doesn't start. The only thing that worked was to uninstall everything again, use the cleaner tool, reinstall CC and leaving firefox without the flash plugin. At this point AME starts without any problem. I tried again to reinstall flash plugin and voilà, again AME simply can't start.
What should i do to fix this? It sounds so stupid that i have to choose between flash plugin or AME, why they can't live togheter on my system? Maybe i just have to wait for an update (for firefox or flash) and see if it changes anything?
Here are some specs of my system, if it helps:
winows 8.1 pro x64 updated
16gb ram
Intel i7 3820
GeForce GTX 670
latest version of flash, CC and firefox
no plugins installed for any CC software
flash on internet explorer works well

I finally find out how to fix this.
With flash plugin installed and protected mode disabled, I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin options. So I re-enabled protected mode and the plugin worked fine.
After that, I uninstalled everything from adobe, used cleaner tool and than reinstalled all the stuff. Now AME works fine.
Hope this fix will help someone.

  • Adobe Media Encoder: Audio won't export with video

    I am trying to convert an AVCHD video for viewing on my iPad 3. I use Adobe Media Encoder and select the iPad 2 settings (1920x1080) and it exports the video perfect, but no audio. I have "Export Audio" checked off. I tried it with 5 other settings and it just wont include the audio. Any ideas?

    Seems random people are running in to this, so hopefully this solution will be found by whomever's looking.
    If you're exporting video files from Final Cut Pro as .mov, and then trying to convert said .mov to an .mp4 using Adobe Media Encoder and are losing audio even though you're multiplexing, try this...
    Make sure that you export only a 2-channel audio track from FCP.   When I export from FCP, I split my audio into various tracks by default.  Great for making master clips, but problematic if uploading to YouTube or doing further encoding in Adobe Media Encoder.   Like YouTube, if you have more than 2 tracks of audio, Media Encoder seems to get confused and ignores all audio tracks.  Combine all audio into a 2-channel stereo track and see if that solves the problem.
    Regardless of editing program, see if reducing number of audio channels from source clip solves problem.

  • When rendering with Adobe Media Encoder, the sound only starts playing at 1 minute and 20 seconds

    So I have this problem: I have a video which is an hour long and when I try to render it via AME the result will have the audio of the video starting at around the 1 minute 20 mark. I render to the YouTube 1080p preset.
    What I have tried to fix this is:
    - use .wav instead of .mp3 (didn't work)
    - use After Effects itself to render the video (this worked)
    - change the video start time to 1 minute and 20 seconds and then made AME start the render at that (didn't work)
    - re-render (didn't work even on different presets)
    It's also not my audio file because I've tried rendering it with the audio starting at 1:20 and then the track was playing from the start.
    The video contains one audio track and one video and the project file is in After Effects.
    Is my AME bugged or am I doing something terrible wrong?
    Hope to hear from you guys.
    PS: I really don't want to render via After Effects, due to file size.

    I'm having a very similar problem. I just purchased a larger SD card thinking it was the card but it's definitely Media Encoder.
    Mine is also crashing in the middle of renders and causing my computer to crawl.

  • Adobe Media Encoder won't start

    Not OP, but I have the same problem. AME just won't run. Double click, it's loading, I can see the process in Windows Task Manager but it just goes away again. Tried deleting that watch folder .xml but not working. Here's my spec from the FAQ:
    What version of Adobe Media Encoder? Include the minor version number (e.g., Adobe Media Encoder CS6 with the 6.0.1 update).AME CC from premiere cc 7.0.1

    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)Used creative cloud to update to latest version

    Are you using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?Yeah
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".N/A. App won't launch
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?No error message
    Is the problem only occurring with a specific output format or encoding preset? If so, which one? If this is a custom preset not included with AME, then upload the preset file to a file-sharing site and provide a link.No.

  • My Adobe Media Encoder CC keeps crashing - can anyone help?

    Every time I open Adobe Media Encoder, it begins the start-up and then crashes before it opens the application.... any help?
    Not sure if this is relevant but, it seems to crash while loading "ExporterQuickTimeHost.pm"

    This thread suggests (for Windows 8 and I assume the same issue for Windows 7) holding the SHIFT key while executing AME. This resets the preferences, and worked for me when I had this issue.

  • Where is Adobe Media Encoder CC

    I think after an update, Adobe Media Encoder CC crashes on start-up. It actually crashed my Mac which never ever done it before.
    I tried to update and found out that Media Encoder CC is no longer listed as an app.
    Is there an application that replaces Media Encoder CC?
    Thanks....

    Media Encoder does not show in the update section or download section of CC. It is installed and updated along with other Video tools in CC. Try to manually install the latest update : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5702.

  • How's Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?

    This is the first thread on the new Adobe Media Encoder forum, so I thought that it would be appropriate to open it up by just asking a general question:
    How is Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?
    Please be sure to install the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (5.0.1) update. Instructions for updating are included in this post about the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.
    If you're having a specific problem that you want help with, or if you have a specific question, please start your own thread on this forum. This thread is intended for general feedback about how Adobe Media Encoder CS5 is working out for you.

    First of all IT IS GREAT and I use it a lot I also used the CS4 version before!
    But I have to report two issues about version CS5:
    1. I bought the English version of the production premium CS5 but I have a German operating system (win7 64bit) all other adobe application are in English except Adobe Media Encoder it shows up in German language! Not a show stopper but should be fixed.
    2. Recently I wanted to encode a video into an h264. I made some custom settings for that and the encoded video played very stuttered in Microsoft Media Player 12 (like 12fps instead of 25fps [settings were set correct in AME]) but fine in Quicktime and VLC Player (execpt for the gamma bug but that's an other story...)
    I did a lot of testings and found the issue! Sometimes when you change a lot of the h264 settings (don't know when it happens exactly) Media Encoder seems to not set the fps correctly allthough AME shows 25fps in it's settings this setting is not encoded into the final file!
    Quicktime and VLC seems not to care about the missing information but Windows Media Player gets confused.
    It does not happens when using a preset in AME it only happens when changing a lot and using custom settings!
    You can see the missing fps setting when right clicking the encoded file and choose properties (german:Eigenschaften) switch the tap to Details and there is no fps setting in the stuttering files but when encoded with a preset in AME there is the correct 25fps setting!
    I have attached a screenshots to demonstrate it:
    My workaround so far was to choose a preset with 25fps and close to my desired settings and change as few as possible - Fingers crosses and with a chance of 3/4 I was able to encode a working file containing the fps setting in it which plays perfect in Microsoft Media Player!
    I hope you take a look into this issue because if you have a long file and you have to encode it again because it fails....... uiuiui
    Thanks Todd for the possibility to give this direct feedback to Adobe
    This is real support!

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 won't even start

    So, here I am at day 5 of the full CS5.5 install (after the trial period, during which everything functioned well) and each day there has been some new challenge. Today, Adobe Media Encoder just simply will not run. Not when trying to do an export from PPro and not just by itself, either. I get a splash screen for a few seconds, then it goes away and I get the notification that it has stopped working. Rebooting the system has not cured it. This isn't a game-stopper, inasmuchas I can still import a PPro sequence to After Effects and export from there. But certainly, I would like to use the AME. I also tried using the "Export" button in PPro's Export Settings window. Thankfully, it also works.
    My first instinct was to attempt an uninstall / reinstall of AME, but I found that uninstalling AME is not an option. I'm guessing it's part of another application, possibly PPro, but I don't know.
    What say you?

    Stan!!!
    I have a Matrox box also.  Please tell me, what was issue and how did you solve it?  Although, I'm half way done with the uninstall at this point.

  • Can't use Adobe Media Encoder CS5. It won't encode

    I'm following lessons on Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book and I've just got stuck on lesson 8 because AME won't work. The program opens fine, but when a drag the penguin.mov to it, I get this message:

    I then try to use it with my own movies to see if it works. It starts encoding and suddenly it stops and gives me the exclamation mark inside the yellow triangle under "Status". I click on Status and I get this message:
