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.

Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

Hi Guys
I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment. It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there. These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc. This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
Any help would be really gratefully received.
Cheers
EDIT - I have just found this online which is exactly the problem I am having! Thanks a bloody bunch Apple! 10.9.3 causing headaches for Mac Pro users | MacIssues

Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
What OS Win7, 64-bit
What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

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.

Adobe Media Encoder (AME) Freezes Machine in Windows 8.1

I'm running adobe CC on win 8.1 and every time I render a video from After Effects to AME the whole machine freezes and I would have to restart at that time...Any one running through the same issue?? Any solutions??
Thanks
TK

Nothing but problems since the 8.1 update. Media Encoder renders perfectly fine up until the same point on my sequence, (though i can render that section on its own without issues).
The log file looks like this:
- Encoding Time: 00:00:17
10/14/2014 02:06:57 AM : Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.

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 (AME) CS6 Crashing on Start

Hi there,
I'm facing a disgusting problem..
I am not able to start AME in my Desktop (win 8). It was working good but suddenly it closed & crashed.... Now I can't start this application it crshed everytime.
tried all possible solution from adobe forum but failed.
sloution please..
thanks in advanced.

If clearing prefs doesn't work, you could also try uninstalling and reinstalling AME (this is done from the host application that installed it; Premiere, After Effects, etc.)
Also, do you get any error message before or after the crash? Posting the error text or a screen shot may help us troubleshoot this.

Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder. I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me. I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more. This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

Adobe Media Encoder pausing rendering while working in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone,
So I am redering a video in Adobe Media Encoder and at the same time I am editing a new one in Premiere Pro.
I noticed that AME is constantly pausing the rendering and did not know why. It turns out that while I'm editing a video in Premiere Pro, I am constantly pressing the space bar to start/pause the video I'm editing. While I do that, AME keeps pausing/unpausing the rendering. Somehow, pressing the space bar in PP has an effect in AME.
I have no clue why it does that because the Premiere Pro window has the focus, not the AME one.
Has anyone ever seen that?
I use Windows 8 and Adobe CC.

Hi Rallymax,
Yes I do queue footage by having an Autowatch set up on the directories where the video is written to. I rarely do a direct export unless testing new settings.
Don't take this as gospel but I too had a feeling that GPU acceleration didn't happen with AME, only direct export. Not sure where that came from, I did watch some of the recent Adobe TV Web Seminar's about new features of CC products etc, so maybe on one of those?
I found this while trying to find out where I had seen it but it is from AMD site not Adobe so whether it's fully 100% correct I dunno:
Adobe Media Encoder
The Adobe Media Encoder (AME), with support for OpenCL™ and GPU acceleration, automates the production of multiple encoded versions of source files, sequences, and compositions in Premiere Pro CC. With the GPU-accelerated AME and AMD graphics technology, editors can quickly encode projects and output files for virtually any destination. AMD GPUs handle the heavy lifting, freeing the system’s CPU to perform other functions.
I will try the same test as Jason, if I can find any AVHCD video and see what the results are. Will be interesting.

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.

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 completely missing from Mastercollection CS6

Computer Environment:
MacBook Pro Early 2011
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
SSD with 512GB; about 81GB are still free
Mavericks OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Mastercollection CS6
Quicktime Player (Standard)
Problem:
I am currently missing the sidekick Adobe Media Encoder (AME), even though I succesfully can run After Effects and Premier Pro.
I cannot locate the AME app anywhere on my hard drive to launch it manually.
Steps/general information:
I initially was able to run AME, after fixing another problem with launching it by deleting the ExportQuickTimeHost.bundle / QuicktTimeHost.bundle as I have described in another post (https://forums.adobe.com/message/7221143#7221143 – #26 is my post).
Unfortunately, the presets for Quicktime (I needed prores) were missing, even after I have done a workaround, by copying prores-codecs into AME plugins, as described in this post: martin-thoburn.com » Install the Apple ProRES codec without Final Cut or ProApps
The next time launching QuickTime, I was not able to open it again.
I uninstalled, reinstalled and updated After Effects and Premier Pro three times now and took away the QuickTimeHost.bundle from AME and Premiere Pro
I also tried resetting ACL (through Utilities, when starting the MacBook with option key pressed down) as suggested by Seth Goldin in the post https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1010136
I already tried wiping down the whole Adobe Suite, using the Cloud Cleaner Tool, delete the presets in the user library and then reinstall the apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat, After Effects and Premiere Pro. There is now only the CS6 (and not for example some CC apps) on my Computer. All apps are up to date.
I didn't install any other codecs by accident.
Since AME was again not launching (Splash screen wasn't showing me any plugins, AME could have loaded). I simply deleted AME by trashing it.
Now it's completely gone, even after reinstalling (and launching) After Effects and Premier Pro.
By trying to install AME's updates (6.0.1 and 6.0.2) I naturally get an error message, since the main app is missing.
I have battled with AME about half a year now, so things like reinstalling Lion and then Mavericks has occurred before as well.
And unfortunately, I am in the middle of a big project, which is due in a month and two days. Hope the links are not too confusing
– please look through them though, as the solutions I tried out are very clearly written in those posts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update in chronological order:
I uninstalled the Cloud, which I kept for making updates; I also uninstalled everything from Adobe (CS6 mastercollection)
I ran the Cloud cleaner tool
I reinstalled only Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Premier Pro, After Effects and Acrobat. Bridge and AME were installed as sidekicks of Photoshop and AE/PP.
So this has solved problem 1 already.
On to problem 2 (update only):
updated all adobe software, incl. DynamicLinkMediaServerRetail-1.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate
I installed Final Cut Pro 7
I (re)installed Quicktime 7.6.6*
I downloaded the Prores Presets for AME (as you suggested in post #2)
I tried opening AME – that did not work, as it hung on the ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle
Went to AME app, right clicked on app icon to get "Show package content">Contents>Plug-Ins>Common and deleted ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuickTimeHost.bundle
repeated last step with Premiere Pro and AE
I opened AE
I tried importing the presets through AME>import>presets... That did not work. I get this pop-up message:
restarted my computer
tried again to import AME without luck
tried the solution of this discussion Re: Quicktime Export options are missing (only in AME) (post #8)
since I noticed that mine was changed back after the reinstallation. No luck.
restarted the computer again. No luck.
Put back only the ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle into AME's package content
tried to open AME without luck
removed the Quicktimebundle once more to open AME (worked)
opened PP to check if I could export in queue: AME does not open by itself, still.
I tried opening a prores file (end as .mov) that I encoded at university (not on my provate computer) – did not worl
I checked if I could open a mov-file which was not encoded to prores: that worked.
I looked into Martin Thoburn's method again to try one more time in AME to find the settings "Quicktime". No luck.
I also have a third problem that may be linked to this, since it also has to do with PP and AE:
Re: Can anyone help? "DynamicLink" not available attempting to open Mov in Photoshop CS6
My post there is #22.
But now that I absolutely made sure that I do have the prores codecs,
I strongly suspect that it may also be a problem, which is discussed here:
Are the ProRes codec and .MOV file no longer supported?
...namely, that the codecs are just not visible. Unfortunately, this discussion is not resolved either.
HarleyTDavis's post #30 of this discussion Are the ProRes codec and .MOV file no longer supported?
suggests something complicated (because I yet would need another Adobe version), which I may try at some point.
Alright. That is all the effort that I can afford in time for this. I am too exhausted to go on so I'll do a workaround in FCP
– now that I got it – and will ask someone else to encode my outcome to a prores-Version.
If I feel like it – and yeah, I'd rather work with the Adobe Suite CS6 mostly – I'll come back to this discussion after a having clean wiped my computer and reinstalled everything.
Thanks to both of you for looking into this with me. I'm positive this can be solved – just not now.
