After Effects Not Sending To Media Encoder

Media Encoder just stop working? It loads I can click though the menu, but it just won't load ae files for compression? I have been using the Media Encoder for the last few weeks and just like that it stops working, I hate these Cloud based apps.

Ok.
Running Adobe Creative Cloud, latest versions on both After Effects and Media Encoder. As for render settings, I never get to that part. When I export to render in Media Encoder, nothing happens. Here are the settings for one of the compositions and projects I was trying to export:

Why will After Effects not export to Media Encoder?

After Effects cannot export to Media Encoder. I've tried to queue it within After Effects (nothing happens,) I've tried to import it from within Media Encoder (it hangs on a loading dialogue forever,) and I've tried restarting my computer. All to no avail. I've also tried multiple AE projects. And yes, I've made sure I am viewing the queue in Media Encoder. Any clues?

After Effects won't start Media Encoder

I'm trying to render from After Effects through Adobe Media Encoder, but the link will not work. I tried using Ctrl+Alt+M, and I tried opening it from the drop down menu. AE simply won't work with AME.
It worked before I upgraded to CC 2014, and I can still render out of AME through Premiere CC 2014.

Larchuck on another thread suggested this and it helped me as well. He was using windows 8 and I, 7, but it worked
Get Properties on the AME .exe
Under Compatibily Tab I checked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and selected windows 8
Hit apply
AME opens.
I went back to the Compatibilty Tab and unchecked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and I also clicked the button above it (Run compatibility troubleshooter)...went through its process and AME is woking again.
Turning it off again didn't work for me though so I'm leaving it on

How to change render resolution of After Effects project in Adobe Media Encoder for an H264 preview?

I'd like to render a 1080i comp at half resolution or third resolution in AME to speed up render times for low-res previews. I just had a low-res H264 preview take 5 minutes to encode in AE, and 28 minutes in AME.
This is easily accomplished in the After Effects render settings. However, the "video" option in AME seems to imply the project is encoded at that resolution, not rendered at it.
I went into AE and changed the setting in the composition viewport to "half", but when I queue it up in AME, the "Match Source" button still indicates 1080.
What is the correct method to get the results I want?
I'm currently using AE CC and AME CC on Windows.

Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down. It would be helpful to provide some kind of list of what comp settings carry over into AME from After Effects. Is it essentially everything that is enabled in the Timeline? (I know that motion blur settings do.)
I'll put this in a feature request, but yes, we need the other half of After Effects Render Queue in AME in order for AME to be a good replacement for rendering from AE. I'll give you my thoughts on why Render Settings are essential before you would actually want to render with AME instead of doing so because you have to (either because you want to render in the background, or need a codec that has been removed from AE.)
1. Speed: Simply applying a Render Settings preset is much faster than manually setting motion blur, frame blending, work area, etc.
2. Reliability: Not being able to apply a Render Settings preset at the time of render is a recipe for missing a crucial setting buried in a comp, then having to redo a render and wasting time.
3. Features: As noted above, there is no way to approximate Render Queue's ability to change resolutions at render, which results in a lot of wasted time when that feature is needed.
Render Settings I think are crucial to making AME rendering worthwhile for AE users:
1. Rendering resolution
2. Work Area/Entire Composition toggle
3. Field Rendering (wait, does this mean AME can't currently render to fields?)
4. And PRESET ability these settings, so I'm not doing them manually every time.
I realize that your team clearly doesn't spend the same amount of time I do making low res H264 previews and sending final files out in H264 format, so you don't appreciate the impact of the changes you made. Moving to AME for that stuff is a real inconvenience, but implementing the settings above could help soften the blow.
Thanks,
Jerry

Importing video into After effects, premiere pro and media encoder result in freezing

I have been trying to import a 17 minute long mp4 video shot with a go-pro into after effects and premiere pro with the result of the program locking up each time. My next thought was try to import it into media encoder and change the file format but it is causing media encoder to lock up as well. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated

Sounds like something might be fishy with the video file. You might try converting with different software, which can often be more forgiving than Adobe tools.

Moving After Effects Output Templates into Media Encoder

With the introduction of the CC apps, Adobe is encouraging users to export most content through the Adobe Media Encoder application. I'm happy to make the switch if it helps my overall workflow.
As part of moving over to the AME for all things in After Effects, I was hoping I could export all of my custom Output Module Templates to AME, as many of them are being used in an ongoing basis for existing projects, and I'd hate to have to configure the settings from scratch in AME.
I've been able to export the .aom file using (Save All) from AE. But haven't been successful importing those into Adobe Media Encoder as a preset.
Does anyone have a proceedure for this?
Thanks!
Stephen

There is no automated way to do this.
Just to be clear on what we're encouraging:
We are encouraging you to move all of your H.264, MPEG-2, and Flash Video output to Adobe Media Encoder. In other words, you should be creating files intended for distribution (for playback on the web, mobile devices, or television) using Adobe Media Encoder.
The After Effects render queue is still the right tool for creating image sequences and other outputs that serve as intermediate files to be exchanged between post-production applications, for mastering, for archiving, and other purposes that don't require encoding to a highly compressed format for playback/delivery.

After Effects Hanging on Initializing Media Core

I downloaded the trial for After Effects CC 2014 to make sure it would work on my computer, but when I try to open it the start up screen hangs at initialing media core. I made sure that After Effects was allowed through the firewall, but it's still not working. I want to buy it, but I can't if it won't start. Please help!

I can't promise this will help and I have email from Adobe support that specifically says this won't work and isn't the problem. So if you want to try this, it's just working advice from some shlub who wants the software to work and doesn't care whose feelings are hurt. This response fixes all versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro in the CC and CC 2014 series. The file ExporterAVI.prm is bad. It has had a flaw since around 2013. Now you can fix this taking no chance with your computer or installation, so if you follow this carefully you'll do nothing to hurt your setup and if it doesn't work, just change it back.
Each application has it's separate copy in it's separate folder, so just go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\(Media Core Plug-ins)\Common
Find the file called ExporterAVI.prm and rename it (I always just rename it to ExporterAVI.prmold
Now run After Effects CC. If it loads, you found the problem. If it doesn't rename it back to it's original name and, no harm, no foul.
If it does load, know that you can't export an AVI file. You need a PRM file that works. I always keep one saved. It will work for the CC version and the CC 2014 version. It is from an old copy of the original CC version of both programs.t is 159Kb and dated 8/20/2013. The properties detail tab actually says it was created on 3/27/2012. Every time an update come out that affects this, it will stop working, so just rename it again and put back in the old file and you'll get full functionality. I've had to use it six time since the update after 8/2013, but I have full functionality of all four versions of both programs, but it won't work with the current version of ExporterAVI.prm. So far, that means every time it loads an update, I have to fix the file in the After Effects CC, After Effects CC 2014, Premiere Pro CC and Premiere Pro CC 2014. The same file is used in Prelude, Encore and Media Encoder, but I don't use those programs. so I don't know if they freeze up or not.
Also look at the last entry in your plugin loading.log file, it should say something like:
Loading E:\Win8\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\ExporterAVI.prm
Invalid registry entry found so the plugin will be loaded from disk.
Loading from disk...
and then the log ends and the program freezes.
p.s. If you don't have a copy of the old version of the file, call Adobe, don't ask me - I can't give copies of it to anyone, I just make them because I keep backups before every update.

Premiere freezes when sending to Media Encoder Queue

Hey guys,
This issue is on all of our computers (Mac Pros and 27" iMacs) and happens on 40% of attempted exports through Media Encoder.
Here's our new workflow:
- Export TImeline (Command + M)
- Send to Media Encoder (Queue button)
- Media Encoder Opens and Premiere gets hung on "Preparing Data for Export" dialogue
- Force Quit Premiere and get a dialogue that "There has been a serious error and Premiere needs to close"
- Reopen Premiere and try again – usually get a clean export (or two on a good day) before it craps out again
We've sort of gotten used to it but I'm wondering – anyone else having this issue? It's getting annoying (and embarrassing when you're in a client session).
Doesn't matter what timeline setting or what's on the timeline. Also doesn't matter what version of either program.

I am having the same problem (see Premiere now freezes on Media Encoder Queue)
I am on 2014.1 of both programs (8.1.0 on premiere, 8.1.0.122 of AME). I know an update just came out today, but it seems to be just a RAW photo update.
Mine hangs when premiere is "Preparing Media for Export..." It launches AME and AME boots up fine... so from where I sit, it looks like a Premiere problem as it's compiling the project file to export.
Neither "import natively / non natively" or GPU acceleration help. However, I wouldn't expect them to, given this seems to be a premiere problem, not an AME problem.
That thread does not apply re: nView.

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

After Effects not working in Mavericks

Is anyone having issues with Adobe After Effects not working in Maveriks? Premeire, Photoshop, Audition all work, but not AE. No update from Adobe available.

This update is ONLY FOR MAVERICKS. You can't update through Creative Cloud, to prevent users of other operating systems from installing it.

PP CS4 Crashes when sending to Media Encoder

I've used PP CS4 since it came out, have had no problems like this. I have spoke to the techs at Adobe really no help they do a bunch of stuff and the next time I use it crashes. PPro crashes when sending to Media Encoder if it gets to Media Encoder in time I can still render the file I've sent. There's only one thing I can think of that could be causing this I use an external drive and it nearly full I'm getting a 2T and coping over to there is there a possiblity that the drive that only has 3 gigs left could be causiing this?
Or do you think it's something else?

This is my solution to the crashing start Media Encoder before exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 I've had no problem since. It has something to do with the exporting the fonts or that's what come up in the crash report. I hope this is a remedy for those that experance this problem.

After Effects: not enough memory to create COR_BibAlloc

After Effects: not enough memory to create COR_BibAlloc
(64k requested, 388412K available)
My comp is a 1280x720 30 second spot. Not too complex
of an animation with not that many layers (I know that
sounds vague). I've purged the comp and even tried the
"Secret" option in preferences to purge every 3 frames.
Keep getting this error message when I render. I am
running an Intel Xeon CPU 2.8ghz dual with 2.75 gb of
RAM with AE 7
Thanks

Mmh, yes, indeed that very likely would be to blame on Quicktime. You probably had better luck with CS3 which handles H.264 natively via MediaCore. My guess that it is simply some odd allocation of the compression which could be fixed, probably even a simple export from QT Pro to the same format. Do the files correctly play in QT player? As an alternative to QT Pro I recommend attempting to run it thru SUPER©, which is free. Perhaps this will repair the streams and prevent the errors. If not, you will have to shelve out some money or find otehr ways of converting your footage, I'm afraid.

After Effects not dynamic linking with Media Encoder 2014

Hi
I updated from an older version of Media Encoder to Media Encoder 2014, and now it won't link with AE. I've updated AE also.. and yes, have tried turning my computer on and off again.
Am I missing something here in a preference setting or is this a known issue?

Running OSX 10.9.3 on 3.5Ghz i7 iMac
Transfer comp to AME via Composition drop-down menu , comp settings (for argument sake) are 1920x1080p 25 fps.. although this has never affected the dynamic-link until I updated AME.
I'm picking because it's a 'new app' rather than an updated one in CC that it's not being recognised/picked up by AME2014.
Seems like it'll be a preferences setting that I can't seem to find, but open to helpful suggestions.
Cheers

No using wiggle effect when rendering with Media Encoder

Hey!
I wanted to render my project (by "add AE project") to CS4 media encoder. After the render process
my wiggle effects which I applied to my footage was not considered and did not appear at all. When I
just render with AE4 it work.
Do I need to change any settings or pick a special format in the media encoder?
I'd be glad for an answer!
best,
Alex

Unfortunately that is a bug in Adobe Media Encoder - it does not correctly handle expressions, if they were created in the non-default language. If your AE runs in English, but AME in German, AME will run the background instance of AE it uses to handle AE projects also in German and your expressions break, because they are language specific. Nothing you can change. As a workaround, consider using the Convert Expressions to Keyframes keyframe assistant before rendering with AME. For a few layers with simple stuff that should be acceptable, but of course it will be a nightmare with lots of expressions.

Premiere Pro not understood by Media Encoder properly

When I am in premiere pro I have a PSD layered file that is animated on the time line as a lower third. Everything in the timeline is fine. If I export and encode from premiere pro it encodes fine. However, if I send to queue and encode in adobe media encoder it encodes changing the scale of the psd layers from the image back to the original position of the psd. This seems like the encoder does not understand the latest update in Premiere properly. Anyone have any ideas or a way to resolve this on this end? (Below are two images one is showing the lower third PSD from within premeire, the other is showing what the media encoder is doing to the PSD lower third)
Thank you for any sugestions.

Hi MRJay,
I had a similar issue only when using 3rd party plugin (Creative Impatience) that would go all catywhumpus on Encoder Queue outputs...it would mess with certain images or text that were not necessarily matching the project proportions (e.g. crop them, or ignore 1/2 of my Feathered Crop, etc.)
The solution was bizarre, and likely source-code default setting based...
After going to Media-->Export and when in the Encoder interface--before Queueing-- find a section on your timline with the scroll controls where the graphic is, make sure you are in Source Tab (top left), goto Crop Proportions; Use the drop down tab to actually set the Output dimension to what your sequence is (you won't have to actually export with this setting) and then switch to the Output tab. Does it now appear correct? That's it...undo the Crop Prop. and output normally. Hope this helps...
