Can't open Adobe Media Encoder CS6 without crashing

Hi, I tryed recently to export a finished video in Adobe Premiere with Adobe Media Encoder, but unfortunately, until recently, it crashes a few second later when I try to open it. I try to open it without Premiere, same result. I tryed to uninstall the program and re-install it, but no success. So, I really don't know what to do. Any ideas ?
Thanks to answer

You're not providing any system info nor the exact error when it crashes, so this is not going anywhere. That aside you may have better luck simply asking in the AME/ PPRo forums.

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 Random Crashing Mid-Render

Hello -
I've been dealing with this issue for enough months and across enough computers to finally seek out some advise here, hope it works out...
Basically I've got a 2 hour long film that I've been trying to export using Adobe Media Encoder CS6. It's never made it all the way through. I can usually skim through the generated quicktime file up to the point where the crash occurred. I've tried using that as a reference to check out my sequence in Premiere but there is never anything suspicious going on there. Most frustratingly the crash occurs randomly. Sometimes it will go through 10 minutes of the film; sometimes an hour. Regardless I get a crash with a report that has no specific information.
Footage:
r3d - Various resolutions, all being cut in a 2048x1152 sequence.
Quicktime mov - ProRes4444 for the most part.
Machine(s):
I had been attempting to render this for the past few months with a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.4 w/ 16GB RAM, 2.7 GHz Intel i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024MB - never made it through a render longer than 50 minutes of the 2 hours.
We recently got one of the new 2013 Mac Pro systems running OSX 10.9 w/ 16GB RAM, 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5, AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
The hope was that this new powerful machine would overcome the issues we were running into with these renders. Since I'm posting this now you can probably figure out that it didn't really work out that way...
Software:
AME- 6.0.2.81
Premiere - 6.0
I know there are updates to be used here, but whenever I update Premiere from just 6.0, the project itself becomes a buggy mess, crashing constantly. I also run Creative Cloud and have tried to just jump over to Premiere CC hoping all my problems would vanish, but instead, I again get a buggy project that constantly crashes. The only version of Premiere that seems to work with this project is 6.0, so general updates have not been useful (and instead damaging, I've wasted several days trying everything I possibly can to make the project work in the updates).
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply MMeguro.
Last night I was able to get my first full render through by doing a combination of things (so I'm not sure what did the trick in the end).
To answer some questions first, never attempted to do the FULL render directly out of Premiere, always switched over to AME for that, so that potentially could work too. Smaller renders have worked directly out of Premiere Pro, but they've also worked out of AME.
The initial render attempts that had been failing for the last few months were on the MBP which did not support GPU accleration due to an incompatible graphics card. I assumed the issue must be tied to something else because of this and was using it on the renders with the new 2013 Mac Pro. Using the workflow of Pr6.0, AME 6.0 and GPU rendering turned ON, I was failing to render to both Quicktime h264 and ProRes 422.
What worked for last night's render:
1. Convert Pr6.0 project to PrCC project (when I've done actual editing in CC after converting this project it tends to crash, but I figured just generating the project itself without doing any editing in it might satisfy what I was attempting to do).
2. Open AME CC and import PrCC Sequence. Used custom ProRes 422 setting.
3. Turned OFF GPU acceleration.
So as long as I the PrCC project I create stays stable long enough to save it (without crashing, which has been a problem with that Pr6.0 to PrCC conversion) then it seems like this will work. Kind of an annoying couple extra steps but I'm just out of my mind glad that I can actually render this thing finally. We're still in the rough stages so being able to turn around a review version within a day is very important.
Wish I could do more tests to figure out exactly which combination actually made this work for the benefit of others, but can't afford to do multiple 10 hour+ renders with random crash times.
Anyway, thanks again for the reply MMeguro much appreciated.

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 - Startup crash

I am not able to start Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on Mac (Lion 10.7.3) - it always tries to load and gives me an "Adobe Media Encoder CS6 quit unexpectedly"
This happens with a freshly installed Web & Design Suite AND on both of my Macs.
I just re-installed Flash CS6 to verify - and still, no chance to open it.
Super annoying! What can I do?
Thanks
Steffen Funke

So, I was able to resolve it based on this (old) thread which deals with the same kind of problem under CS5:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3975390
In short: delete the "Adobe Media Encoder" Folder from your User Preferences (/<Username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Media Encoder).
It will be recreated on next Startup.
What was strange was, that I need to provide admin password for deleting the Folder, although i's under my User Prefs.
This should not be the case and I suspect this to be the reason for the crash (Folder rights issue, preventing Adobe Media Encoder from writing in it's own Preferences Folder)
Hope this helps someone else.

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 crashes when quit

OS X 10.7.4
Multiple hardware types
Adobe Media Encoder CS6 as installed from Adobe Production Premium CS6. NOTE: CS6 was installed under a different user than the new user that is having AME crash.
Issue:
Open AME. Encode a file or do not encode a file because the end result does not matter. Now quit AME (either hotkey or File --> Quit). AME then crashes. Keep in mind that no other CS6 programs are affected this way, just AME.
I ran into this problem weeks ago and found a solution that worked. The fix was to delete one of the many many folders Adobe creates in your user folder. The problem now is I cannot find that same posting where the fix was listed.
I deleted this "mystery folder" we will call it and then AME CS6 worked fine. The catch was that I had to redo the whole "Adobe ID" sign in BS and retype the serial number when I opened one of the other programs.
Any guesses as to where this folder might be so I can delete it again? I was hoping some others may have run into this same issue. I will keep looking for the fix, and post it back here if I finally find it.

Just deleting the Adobe Media Encoder folder in the given directory works just fine and this saves a lot of trouble because your settings are maintained as are your presets.
But thanks a lot for the help

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 is a worthless piece of unstable trash

8 gigs ram
Intel Core i7 950
Quadro FX 1800
Yadda yadda yadda. My comptuer should have enough juice to encode what I need it to (old NTSC home video footage). Unfortunately, regardless of my output settings, Adobe Media Encoder hangs and crashes when I try to encode a video with a length anywhere north of 10 minutes. It's infuriating. No logs, just an alert stating "Adobe Media Encoder has stopped working and needs to close".
This is a professional piece of software designed to do one thing and one thing well. The length/size of my source material shouldn't matter. I should not be having these problems. There should at least be a directory of comprehensive error logging so I can give a more useful description of my problem, but alas.
My questions are:
1. Are there any general tips you can provide to increase the stability of this useless product?
2. What are my alternatives, software wise? What can I use to actually get what I need done? Any recommendations?
Thank you.

What's the old saying, "You'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"?
Everyone hear loves to help other users, but attitude is important. The CS6 AME works perfectly for me and most other folks, which would indicate that there is something wrong in your particular setup or workflow. I understand you are frustrated, but let's take a deep breath and get this fixed for you ;-)
First off, Adobe always comes out with bug fixes after the intial release - are you using the latest 6.0.3 for Premiere? I don't know if there was an AME update, you can check that easy enough.
What is the workflow - how do you capture the clips, what are the Sequence Settings, and what are the Export settings?
Do you have a separate drive for video, or using C: for it all? Drives defragged, not too full?
Graphics card driver up to date?
Thank you

MPEG-2 codecs missing from Adobe Media Encoder CS6 installed with Creative Cloud Membership

Some people who have downloaded Adobe Media Encoder with Premiere Pro CS6 as part of a Creative Cloud Membership subscription have a problem in which the MPEG2, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-Blu-ray, Dolby Digital, & MXF OP1a codecs are missing.
To fix this issue, install the Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.1) update. Choose Help > Updates to install the update.

It's true. We reached the conclusion that the version CS6 is inferior, a step back, than 5 or 5.5. What's good about it, is the Audution CS6, which is a great replacement for the flawed Audition CS5 accompanying Suite 5.5. You can almost forget the Soundbooth ... Soundbooth ... hmmm, better not comment, but anyway, the most polite thing that i can say it, is that it is a demonstration of how a company decides that its users are not able to think and not able to learn or understants anything. Anything else that i want to say about Soundbooth can not be written here ....
Adobe has demonstrates this development cicle along all this years. The products takes an uphill curve of development, and suddenly, goes back, showing wrong decisions was taken. So after some time , the products starts to evolve again . CS6 shows this stop evolving point. Now we have to wait untill new uphill curve of development starts again.
Well, but like their predecessors AA CS6 still not are good enough to dispense Audition 3, but it is a good outcome for the Suite CS5.5 Audition at least was a sign of improvement in this Creative Suite CS6
Many of the features and effects that have been deliberately taken out of version 5, now returned in 6, (some) showing that at Adobe at least recognizes when misses badly. But the optimal effects panel of AA3 did not return, some effects of AA3 as fade in and fade out did not come back in AA 6, the optimum VST support of AA3 to not are present in AA6 like many VST we have here that was expensive, you do not work in 6, thus, by these and other reasons we can still not dispense AA3.
Maybe in CS7 we users cam be satisfied.

Problem in Adobe Media Encoder CS6 Presets

This Problem appears to me when I want to export a project in MPEG preset:
I can't export an MPEG Video.
but H.264 and MOV is working.
My program and version is Adobe Media Encoder CS6. And the same is happened in Adobe Premiere CS6 and Adobe AfterEffects CS6.
So my question is: I want a link to choose and download presets fro Media Encoder (New presets or update the standard presets).
With my best wishes to Adobe to move forward.

OK, give this a shot.
FAQ: Why are some codecs and sequence presets missing from my installation of Premiere Pro?

Prem Pro will not open Adobe Media Encoder

When I go to Export and chose Media the input screen comes up. After selecting the desired settings and pressing Que, the program reverts back to Prem Pro. In other words it will not open Adobe Media Encoder. Can any one help me with this?

Can you launch Media Encoder from the Programs menu by itself? From Premiere, in AME window, does it work if you select "Export" rather than "Queue"?
Thanks
Jeff

Adobe Media Encoder cs6 error 0xc000007b

Recently i installed Adobe Media Encoder CS6 , on start it showing application unable to start due this error 0xc000007b, please resolve ASAP, if anybody knows.

I just want to make sure anyone with the same problem who comes across this thread is made aware of some things to try and at least one solution that has worked for multiple people...
As the Adobe Staff member here mentioned, the 0xc000007b error usually has to do with a 32-bit/64-bit confusion on the machine. More specifically, as someone stated in a Windows forum: "this error is most likely a result of a 32-bit (x86) executable trying to load a 64-bit (x64) DLL."

What has worked for others is copy & pasting the msvcr100.dll & msvcr80.dll files from the After Effects Support Files folder to the folder of the app that is giving this error (usually Media Encoder or Premiere Pro or Lightroom). It was mentioned several times in the threads below, and worked for me as well...

How to open Adobe Media Encoder CS5 in Windows

Please excuse my ignorance but how do you open Adobe Media Encoder? I've searched everywhere and cannot find a solution. In Adobe help,it says it's in the start menu under all programs but all I have been able to find is a folder with a bunch of dll files. If I try to export a clip from Premiere Pro, It doesn't open, no error message or anything, simply nothing happens. I found an update but that still didn't do anything, still no luck in finding it. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

On my computer folder structure is...
