Since 11/1, my CC manager has been telling me about updates for After Effects, Premiere, and Flash, but every time I tried to update, the update failed. (From the error message it appeared to be a corrupted download. It said to try downloading it again but there's no option to do that.) I found that the main update for all 3 was to Media Encoder, so today I downloaded and installed the Media Encoder 7.1 update from Adobe's website, and then CC was able to finish updating the apps. Now, when I use ME to render a Premiere project into H.264 format, the quality in general is awful, and any mp4 files in the project get rendered as a blank green.
Is there a way I can uninstill and reinstall just Media Encoder without uninstalling all of CC? I've built up a lot of render presets and stuff in Premiere and AE and I just don't want to have to go through app folders and find all that junk to back it up. I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with a Quadro 4000. I did try rendering software only though and the same thing happened. Exporting directly from Premiere instead of ME worked like a charm.
