Critical bug / Media Encoder 22
Encoder 22 just doesn't import any projects. When project is sent to queue from After Effects or Premiere nothing happens. Tested on three different computers I have on hand (OS is Windows 10 and Windows 11). I had to roll-back to previous version of CC, because I just wasn't able to get any results from ME 22.


Hi all,
First, my apologies for this problem and for the long time that it took us to address it here. We are working on making our support forums (community.adobe.com) and this forum clearer; currently, there is a lot of overlap between them.
I've recently starting working on cleaning up older issues reported here and this is one of them. This issue has been resolved.
Thanks,
Fergus Hammond

I have the same issue and this is ridiculous, this is not fair to pay for a program and for it to not work at the end of the day. I had to deliver a VERY important project and guess what, this program is not working. Incredible

Media Enconder is a zombie app. It doesn't know it is already dead.

You could try with AfterCodecs Exporter for Premiere and After https://www.autokroma.com/AfterCodecs
If it's working there, the issue is the Adobe exporters not rendering. if it doesn't you're right there's probably a rendering issue

New Media Encoder not rendering ANY videos from After Effects. When file is dropped into Encoder and hit play it disappears. Rolling back to Media Encoder 2021

when layers are complex and new feature which came with update -multi-frame rendering - is enabled (it is switched on in the preferences), media encoder can meet a bug - be unable to export it to render with new technology. For me it helps to turn multi-frame rendering option off for complex projects (and restarting pc after that) if i need to render exactly in Media Encoder. But every situation is individual and this bug should be fixed. I agree. you can also render in After Effects in mov format and than just rerender in Media Encoder video file to mp4. As solution for some time.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback but it's not about memory issue. Media Encoder stops working and keeps loading while its trying to export a video file.
An immediate update is a must currently. Otherwise downgrading the app would be logical.
Thanks.

Hello. Same problem happens to me when new feature - multi-frame rendering is enabled. Try to turn it off in Preferences - memory and perfomance section and restart your computer.

With new update, Media Encoder does not work properly with complex layer types. I can't connect to my After Effects file to export video. It just try to load the window but nothing happens...

Also experiencing this on Mac Pro. AME opens when I send a render from AE but the comp never appears. Also tried adding the project directly in AME but after selecting the project file it won't load the comps. I've resorted to rendering directly from AE render queue and transcoding in AME to desired file.
