effect("Control")("Slider") ignored when render using AME 13

Ever since updating to the 2019 version of Creative Cloud, the Dynamic Link Server in Media Encoder is unable to connect when attempting to export AE compositions. In After Effects, the compositions don't transfer through the render queue or "Add to Media Encoder Queue" options. The only way to export is to select the comp through Media Encoder's media browser. Even through that, the compositions are not updated to recent changes even though the AE file has been saved.

Working on a 64GB iMac with macOS High Sierra with newly updated CC software.

It simply won't do it. Windows or Mac.

Save queue function for Encoder. So we can save on one machine and open up on more powerful rendering machine :-)

When I start Media Encoder from within After Effects it usually takes ages till Media Encoder even just shows the AE project. Why does it need every single detail from AE before even listing the name of the composition? Would it not be great to have AE just pass on the name and composition resolution at first. While the other stuff loads, the user can already enter a file name and tinker with the encoding settings. This seems very simple and would tremendously speed up my workflow. Thanks for your consideration. Til

When I export my After Efects composition as a gif with Media Encoder, it alters all of the colours in my file. White (#FFFFFF) changes to an off white (#FBFBFB) this is not a colour calibration issue as when opened in other programs the colours can be eyedropped and are completely different. Exporting as a video keeps all of the original colours, only gifs cahnge.

Rendering times on multicore xeon machines is slow.
Media Encoder is using only 20% of machine processing capacity.

Also, cuda is not using the graphics card at all while rendering.
And it's slower than using software only renderer.

Can you please optimize your rendering engine to utilize our new fast mac machines more.

Has webm is becoming an important video format for the web.
It would be nice Media Encoder support it (from and to).

This is a general observation rather than a specific request, but ever since the CC2019, ME is really sluggish. Things that are now taking ages and/or just plain crashing:

- Opening the app
- Dragging a mov in to the queue
- Selecting the preset
- Selecting the size
- Unchecking the linked ratio box
- Changing 1 pass to 2 pass
- Selecting output location.

So yeah basically everything takes three times longer than it used to. What happened!?

(Windows 10, 32gig ram, Geforce 680M, no problems before update)

It'd be great to just set the desired output file size, and have AME do the best compression it can for that specific size. Thanks.

Add support for Nvidia's NVENC H.264/HEVC encoding to assist machines not equipped with Intel QuickSync

Pretty simple. Adding some rotate function to the crop function would be really helpful....and easy I imagine

Please, please can we improve launch time by not preloading all of our AE/PPro plugins (I have hundreds) unless they are actually needed. It takes an age. I can actually boot my whole Mac faster than I can open MediaEncoder from the same M2SSD. Ridiculous. It make ME almost impractical to use due simply to the launch time.

I would like to append a custom name to the end or beginning of a file name on export. Yes, I know you can select an option saying "Append preset name to filename on export", but I don't need this all the time. It would be much simpler if this was an option that is chosen within the preset itself. This would create much more flexibility when exporting.

Have to use some other Converters for MKV conversion and that software are not Trust Worthy ..Please Add this Support in Adobe Encoder ...

Bug report - Open Captions do not render in Adobe Media Encoder when queued in Premiere - the Open Captions render when exported using Premiere directly.

Is there a work around please? Or a fix?
