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.

  • Adobe media encoder hangs using macbook pro yosemitie & CS6

    i cannot crunch a premiere pro project using adobe media encoder....the media encoder starts crunching normally but hangs at random ....

    I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (could also happen with minimized applications). This would mostly likely be the problem if your issue only happens in OSX 10.9... but if it happens in OSX 10.8 then it I'm puzzled.
    Did you check the Console for any error messages?
    Anyways, try disabling App Nap for AME first...
    Go to your Applications folder
    Expand the Adobe Media Encoder CC folder
    Right-click on "Adobe Media Encoder CC.app" and select Get Info
    Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
    Restart the application
    You could also do the same for other Adobe applications.

  • Adobe Media Encoder, rendering wrong videoparts from waitinglist

    Hi guys,
    I have a small, but pretty anoying problem.
    So I'm a normal hobby like Youtuber,
    rendering a few video series I created over night.
    So I cut und edit them in Adobe Premiere and then I press ctrl + m select 720p and put them on the waitinglist in AME.
    Because I can render them all over night like this, or I can render, while still editing other videos.
    I usually but all my video parts in one sequence in Premiere, and then cut then like in 15-20minute parts, using the In and Out markers(and then select Sequence In/Out in Rendersettings)
    But the problem I have using this method is,
    lets say I have 10 videos on the waitinglist of AME, it renders like 3x Part 2, and then part 4,5,6 and maybe 2x part 8 and so on.
    So instead of rendering them all like I marked them to, I get a few of the parts duplicated.
    And its not a problem of me marking them wrong, because its in every rendering que I do.
    And its alsways random which parts get duplicated, but i can be sure there will be a wrong part in every rendering que.
    So the only thing I can do right now is either rendering them all one by one directly in Premiere.
    Or selecting the false ones again and putting them back onto the waitinglist.
    But its so anoying.
    Especially the first time I havent´t checked them, so I uploaded them right away, and saw oops sth. went wrong.
    Does anyone have any solution to this?
    I´m using CS6
    Thanks for your help.

    When I say render, I'm referring to rendering inside of Adobe Media Encoder - unless there is something I don't know when it comes to the setting you're referring to.
    Also, yes, it has an animated logo - which I use on the other machine too, same exact animation.
    As I was writing this response, I just disabled the logo animation - it renders in 4 minutes. However, I need this animation - I'm wondering what to do. It has a 4Kx2K png animated using the basic 3D effect and HLS effect - though, this doesn't delay rendering on my other computer!??
    Hmm, thought of a fix though, I’ll render out my logo animation with a transparent channel, this way I just drag the scaled down animation on top of my videos, should improve the render time.

  • Adobe Media Encoder "expands" my video from it's original size

    When I export an XDCAM HD422 file (as an .mxf) that has scaled or aspected SD footage on the timeline using Media Encoder it changes the aspect or expands the footage so it's out of frame slightly. If I have a mask on the timeline, it gets shifted to the right. None of these problems arise if I don't use Media Encoder. Does anyone have a solution to this....or a workaround?

    here are screen shots of my sequence and export settings. Thanks for helping with this.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" completely missing from Bridge CS6

    No options to load files into Photoshop layers. Why not, and how can I put several files into one Photoshop layer?
    I'm using Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CC.

    Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
    Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
    I'll keep testing and post back.
    I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
    What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • Alpha channel in Adobe Media Encoder output

    Hello, I would like to know how to get the same result in Adobe Media Encoder as you get from AE rendering using Quicktime container and PNG + alpha codec.
    On the left is the SS from playing AME rendered video in any player, even Win preview, on the rigth is how it is played if rendered from AE with same settings. (AME has 32bit. AE has RGB + alpha)
    Even the file sizes are different so this clearly isn't equivalent to AEs render. And yes, if you import what AME rendered into AE, it looks ok, but I need this to look OK in video players.
    Am I missing something, or this simply isn't possible?
    Thank you for your time.
    Sandi

    I want to do in "AME", the functions that have After Effects.
    Are they?
    RGB - Opaque = Colors / Transparent = black.
    Alpha - Opaque = White / Transparent = Black.
    RGB+Alpha - Opaque = Colors / Transparent = Transparent.
    As in After Effects.

  • Really need help with AME Adobe Media Encoder crash on startup.

    Hey all, this is my first time posting in these forums.
    I have Adobe Design Premium and need to use the included Media Encoder for a project I'm working on.  It opened well the first time, and I started converting a file - at which point it crashed.  Since then, when I start it, it shows the startup / loading image, but once finished opening disappears and closes itself.  I've tried reinstallig, no dice.  I also read the plugin log files (My Documents > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > Log Files) - nothing out of the ordinary.
    Very stuck and very frustrated - any suggestions would be really appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Michael. Without more information about output settings, the project, the computer, etc, I can't speculate on the cause of the initial crash. I can, however, offer a suggestion as to why the app is now failing to launch: the initial crash may have corrupted the application settings. If you delete those settings, or otherwise hide them from AME, then the app will create fresh settings on the next launch.
    Windows Vista & Win 7: C:\Users\<<yourUserName>>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\<<yourCreativeSuiteVersion>>*
    Windows XP (from distant memory): C:\Documents and Settings\<<yourUserName>>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\<<yourCreativeSuiteVersion>>
    Mac: <<partition>>\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\<<yourCreativeSuiteVersion>>
    *On Windows 7 & Vista, if you can't see the App Data folder, you'll need to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders: Tools>Folder Options>View tab.
    If this does the trick to get AME running again, and if it again crashes on you, please provide as much information as you can about the project, export settings, system, etc.

  • 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.

  • MPEG-2 option missing from Adobe Media Encoder (ver7.2.0.43)

    Hi all,
    Having an issue getting the MPEG-2 option for our Creative Cloud installation, specifically in Media Encoder's presets.
    The following steps were recommended on another Adobe forum addressing this issue:
    1.Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro or the Creative Suite.
    2.Run the cleanup script found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    3.Reinstall Adobe Premiere Pro or the Creative Suite.
    4.Launch Adobe Premiere Pro.
    5.When prompted for activation during launch, ensure that the computer is online and complete activation.
    If the computer cannot be brought online, complete the offline activation during the first launch of the software. Do not choose to activate later.
    6.After Activation, close and restart Adobe Premiere Pro.
    We have been able to run through steps1 to 4, however the Activation option in #5 does not appear at all (must be activation is included as part of our CC license).
    Without the option to deactivate/activate Premiere how can we go about getting the MPEG-2 option to appear?
    Thanks again

  • Queuing from Premiere Pro to Adobe Media Encoder no longer working? CS6

    Hi there,
    Just very recently adobe media encoder has stopped accepting que's from premiere. I choose export in premiere, setup the export details and hit que, adobe media encoder launches, but then it flashes once (like disappears reappears, very quickly) and then it just simply does nothing. No item appears in the que. I have tried opening the premiere sequence directly from adobe media encoder but it does nothing either. If I drag the premiere project directly onto a preset in adobe media encoder, it crashes every time. (though not sure if it would of done this previous to my problem arising)
    Anyway, very frustrating as I usually work on a different project whilst media encoder is rendering something out. Now i'm stuck with huge down times as I wait till the render is finished.
    Recently updated to Mac OSX 10.8.3 - I think this is when the problem began.
    Just updated the CUDA driver to 5.0.45 but this has not changed anything.
    Working on a Mac Pro 5,1, 2x2.4Ghz 24GB RAM, EVGA GTX 660 FTW,

    Some suggestions and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

    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...

  • Long load times normal for Adobe Media Encoder from Premiere CS5?

    When I export a sequence from Adobe Premiere CS5 using Adobe Media Encoder, the system freezes for several minutes before giving me the exporter screen.  Then, when I've loaded my settings and clicked "export," the system again freezes for several minutes before beginning to encode.    I'm using a system with an Intel I7 CPU 930 @ 2.80Ghz 2.80 Ghz., 24 GB of ram, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit operating system and an Nvidia quadro FX4800 graphics card..  Everything else is fast, but AME is slow.  Is this normal? Should I reinstall AME?

    Not sure what you mean about the process.  From Premiere CS5, I click on "export" which brings up a menu. I select "media" from the menu which brings up the Adobe Media Encoder.  I adjust my settings and click "export" from the bottom of the screen to immediately render the Premiere file.  Clicking "Queue" would put the program into the AME Queue.  Am I missing something?  On the slowness issue, looks like I need to reinstall AME. I've been reluctant to do that, partially because I'm using some Matrox hardware and I'll have to reinstall the Matrox softare to populate the matrox settings into the media encoder. Looks like it may be worth it.
    Thanks.
