Adobe Media Encoder CC Fails To Dynamically Link Embedded AE Comps Within PR.

When launching a PR project in Media Encoder to kick off a render.  The dynamic link engine loads the PR sequence just fine but during the render it fails to read any clips that were "relaced with AE comp", instead inserting an "offline media" plate.  Launching the PR project and reviewing as well as rendering from within PR works fine.  Please note that this worked fine in Adobe Media Encoder CS6.
*****Edit
In doing some tests to consistently replicate the problem, it turns out that AE CC has to be open WITH the replaced clip comps loaded at the time PR OR Media Encoder is running with projects that contain the "replaced with AE comps" footage.  Repeating the test with AE CC closed at the time yields the "offline media" result.  This is definitely a bug I'd say.  AE should not have to be launched with the project files loaded up in order for any dynamically linked comps to work.
****Edit 
Please note the entire product chain is CC.  Thank you.

Update.....
Problem solved.
It turns out that any dynamically linked CC apps must be run by the same user on the same machine in order to work properly.  In this case, PR and AME were being run as a standard user on the workstation while AE was being run as administrator via the shortcut launch properties.  The latter being necessary to have certain plugins function properly in AE CC.  Modifying the AE shortcut to not run as administrator resolves dynamic linking issues.
Although it can be argued that logically all Adobe apps should be run by the "same user" on the workstation, it would be nice for the dynamic link engine to be more "real world" about linking projects on the same workstation in the case where a particular resource needs to be launched as an administrator.  Security considerations in towe, this ain't top secret government or banking data risk management folks.  Lighten up.  Maybe a little warning box that pops up and says "such and such needs to be run as administrator....do you allow?".....after all this is EXACTLY what the OS does anyway when you launch as anyone other than the administrator from a shortcut.  Quite reasonable for you (Adobe) to simply cascade the behavior.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5, fails on 2 pass f4v

    Hi,
    I have tried encoding several videos at multiple bitrates, including videos I have encoded successfully before in CS4.
    They all fail about half way through the first pass when using VBR 2 pass. Just stop and show the error exclamation mark symbol.
    I have no problem if it is set to one pass

    Hi Todd, thanks for the reply.
    I tried the suggestions in the link you provided by allowing adobe qt32 server.exe and dynamiclinkmanager.exe in and out connections. I even tried disabling the firewall temporarily altogether but it didnt help.
    I dont have afterfx.exe or pproheadless.exe (I have the design Premium CS5 suite, so no after effects or premiere for me unfortunately)
    Could it be something else causing the problem?

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 + Dynamic Link = no audio!

    When exporting to any file from AE via Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1) rendered file has no audio at all.
    When importing AE comp with audio to Premiere CC 2014 imported track doesn't have audio.
    Problem is somewhere in dynamic link.
    How can we export, for example to H.264, from AE if Media Encoder have problems with Dynamic Link?

    Hi Dmitri,
    In AE project I have JPG sequence footage and sequence of ten MP3 audio tracks. I have created WAV file from those ten tracks and tried it in AE instead of MP3 files, but result was same - no audio in file, rendered from AME.

  • Dynamic link after effects and adobe media encoder

    Hello,
    I recently downloaded After Effects cc (yesterday). I am running a mac pro with OSX 10.9.3 2.3 ghz intel core i7 with 16 gb 1600 MHz DDR3.
    On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore. I am trying to use AME to export however I am having issues.
    When I try to send to AME from the Composition tab in AE it looks like it is doing something and then nothing happens. I then opened AME separately and tried to "add after effects comp" from the file menu in AME the error message displayed was "Could not connect to Adobe After effects. Please verify that Adobe After effects and Adobe Dynamic link components are installed".
    I have also tried to drag and drop my composition directly from AE to AME and the following message appears "Dynamic link error - Source is empty"
    I have read a multitude of threads on this issue and this is definitely not a firewall issue. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

    > On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore.
    Why do you think that? You can still use the render queue in After Effects to render and export directly out of After Effects.
    That said, there are some formats that Adobe Media Encoder handles better.
    > and this is definitely not a firewall issue
    How have you determined that?
    Does exporting to QuickTime (.mov) format from After Effects work? How about the 3D Camera Tracker and Warp Stabilizer effects? The reason that I ask about these is that they use the same communication mechanism that Dynamic Link does, so if they also fail, then it tells us something about where the problem is.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC renders do not reflect changes to Dynamically Linked After Effects Comps

    When rendering a Premiere timeline with a dynamically linked After Effects composition, Adobe Media Encoder will sometimes use an older version of the linked composition (even after I have saved changes in the After Effects comp).
    For example, if I correct a spelling mistake on some text in After Effects, save the composition, and then add the sequence to the render queue in Premiere, the final output from media encoder still has the old spelling.
    If I do a straight export from Premiere instead of adding to render queue, the output is always correct. I've noticed this problem on several different Windows 8.1 systems.
    All versions of the software are up to date as of today.
    Why is this? Is it something to do with the disk cache in After Effects? Does media encoder have it's own cache that I need to clear?

    Hi, I've been having this same issue.  Here are some additional things I've noticed about it:
    Changes are reflected properly when played back on timeline in Pr CC 2014.
    Happens regardless if the dynamic link file was rendered or not, thus deleting the render files does not fix the issue.
    The issue can persist through saving, closing, and reopening both AE and Pr. 
    I'm using OSX 10.9.4, so this is not just a PC issue.
    Other than manually watching for every change to be reflected in the render, there is no way to know a problem has occurred.  Needless to say this can be incredibly costly.
    Please address this quickly, it's completely unacceptable that what we render out could be a different version from what we see on the timeline.
    PS Some additional things I will be testing:
    Does the issue persist through closing all CC apps, including Media Encoder.
    Does rendering directly out of Pr, i.e. not using Media Encoder, fix the issue.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Fails to convert the H264 movs from may Canon 5D mark 2, to Cineform AVI's

    It fails no mater what codec settings I have tried.....forcing me to use the HD Link that came with NeoScene( Cineform)....Once converted by HDLink, the Adobe Media Encoder is fine transcoding the Cineform avi's to any format it normally works with.
    While not a huge problem--certainly I "can" always use HDlink to convert the mov's....I would like to get this fixed.....
    And then there is the issue of what should be the appropriate way to metalog when I dump 300 new clips into the system that were just shot.....Of course it is easy with the mov files, but really I would think they should all be transcoded to Cineform AVI's before doing anything...Thoughts?
    Dan Volker

    I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a "bug". The only thing at issue (if I understand correctly) is that AME is failing to recognize the PAR of the file. AFAIK, there is no "standard" for flagging PAR in AVI files (aside from DV footage, which can have simple boolean 16x9 flag).
    Adobe has their RIFF headers -- but this is by no means a standard across the entire industry. There is no indication that your file contains any PAR information whatsoever.
    If you open the file in Premiere, you should be able to right-click on the clip in the Project window, go to Interpret Footage and select the correct PAR of 1.333.
    The problem is that the standalone version of AME does not have an "Interpret Footage" option to override PAR assumptions for AVI files, etc. that are added to queue. This is a good idea for a feature request for future versions of AME.

  • Exporting in Adobe Media Encoder fails in CS4 after CS3 is removed.

    There's an issue with Adobe Media Encoder in CS4 where encoding will fail after CS3 is uninstalled.
    If you never had CS3 installed on your machine - no problem.
    If you never had CS3 and CS4 installed at the same time - no problem.
    If you had CS3 and CS4 installed concurrently, then uninstalled CS3 - Houston, you have a problem.
    You will need to uninstall CS4 and then reinstall CS4.
    The error message is:
    Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    One more thing I forgot to mention, this is a Win-only issue.

    >Does anyone understand this?
    Simple:
    1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
    2. Open a
    second Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "Premiere.exe"
    3. Arrange the windows side by side.
    4. Right-click on "Premiere.exe" and drag to the first explorer window, targeting between the files so as to avoid any specific file.
    5. Release the right-hand mouse button.
    6. Select "create shortcut here" from the pop-up menu.

  • Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
    While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails.  Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
    Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
    Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
    More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
    Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
    Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.

    I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset.  AME fails every time with the following message:
    "Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error."
    Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine.  The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
    All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime.  I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
    Interesting.
    Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

    AME:lle ei ole omaa unistalleria, vaan sen asentavat muut CC:n ohjelmat käyttöönsä.
    Mulla ei onnistunut ID CC:n ja Premierin päivitys. Niihin olisi ollut tulossa vain tuo AME:n päivitysosa. Ainakin mulla ongelmia näytti aiheuttavan MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework, joka esti AME:n päivittämisen. Poistin sen käsin AME:n sisältä.
    Poistin Premieren (uninstall) ja asensin sen uudestaan. Buuttasin koneen. Sen jälkeen molempien päivitys onnistui.
    There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
    I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Fail - need help please

    I keep getting a failed error when trying to use Adobe Media Encoder. 
    I open up my premiere project and select the comp I want.  I switch the format to Quicktime, select h.264 from preset.  Hit the start button and I get the failed sound/icon.
    2 questions:
    1. My comp is 1920x1080 but when I go in it automatically has it as 720... why is it not recognizing the comp size?
    2. Is there a way to fix this error?  It seems to export occassionally to my C drive (which is not raid) but it fails to my F drive (Raid 10).  But usually if I export as a wmv or something smaller it exports fine to F.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you I had to go out of town.  Error message doesn't say anything to me... maybe to you.  I'm not really sure what to set for "Field Type" so I just leave it at Lower.  Not sure if I should set it to higher or progressive instead.

  • Cineware C4D Render Fails in Adobe Media Encoder

    I'm trying to render an After Effects composition using Cineware and a very basic C4D Lite layer.
    It renders fine directly in the AE render queue, but hangs and eventually fails in Adobe Media Encoder.
    The error message is:
    Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    I'm using Windows 7, Adobe Creative Cloud.  I've opened the default TCP port 5030 in Windows Firewall & tried disabling Windows Firewall altogether.  I've tried rendering with both CUDA and software only.  I've cleared my render cache and restarted several times.  I've had no problems rendering in Media Encoder until I try to enable a Cineware layer.  It makes a sheep noise.

    Has anyone successfully rendered Cineware using Windows 7 platform ?
    Is there a particular port I should try besides the default 5030?  And do I need to set this port somewhere in Adobe Media Encoder CC settings or just under the Cineware effects settings? 
    There's no reason why this shouldn't at least be documented somewhere.  I'm using a brand new clean vanilla install of Windows 7 and Creative Cloud with Intel Core I7 + NVidia GPU.
    "Unknown Error" to me says some code was sitting in a huge "try/catch" type block with the exception not being handled.

  • Adobe Media Encoder fails on launch

    Every time I go to render media, when Adobe Media Encoder launches, the file fails. I get a non-descript dialog that says "Installation error: Please ensure this product has been installed properly." This happens immediately after I start the AME queue and it begins to load the .prproj file (which is already open in Premiere Pro, since that's where I exported from in the first place).
    I ran Adobe Updater and got the newest version of everything, except for the latest CS4 "Services Update" which fails to install properly. I've tried that update numerous times (after restart, after repairing permissions) and it seems to fail every time. I didn't think this was relevant but thought I'd mention it anyway.
    I'm on a Quad-Core Xenon Intel 2x2.5 Ghz tower, with 12GB RAM and 78+ GB free disk space. I'm trying to render a portion of a project, this segment is about a min and a half long. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7 (latest update), using Premiere Pro CS4.2.1 (003 MC: 166418) and Adobe Media Encoder 4.2.0.006.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    If you have done a complete reinstall, and ran the Adobe CleanScript CS5 (that is the latest), then a Repair Install should not be needed - it would do nothing.
    For info, to do a Repair Install, one would insert the installation disc. When the installer module has loaded, it will survey one's system. If it finds the Adobe program(s), it will ask if you wish to Uninstall, or Repair Install. When one chooses Repair Install, it surveys the system again, for that program, and will replace, or correct any issues. This is usually MUCH faster, than doing an uninstall/reinstall.
    Good luck, and not sure what else could be the cause.
