Hi,
The Problem
After upgrading to the 2019 version of After Effects (16.0.0 Build 235) and the 2019 version of Media Encoder (13.0 build 203) I am not able to render my footage in Media Encoder. It won't connect to the Dynamic Link Server.
I am able to drag and drop my composition from AE to AME. But when I try to render the composition it gets stuck on 'connecting to the Dynamic Link server'.
My system
MacOS Sierra Version 10.12.6
Processor: 2,7 GHZ Intel Core i5
Memory: 16GB
Videocard: Intel Iris Pro 1536MB
Extra info
It all worked when i was using AME version 12.1.2 and AE version 15.1.2
What I have tried
- I tried this solution AME cannot connect to Dynamic Link Server
(I looked into this further and find out this problem happens when the following conditions are both met.
AE Preferences > General > "Show Start Screen at Startup" is disabled
AE Preferences > New Project > "New Project loads template" is enabled)<- which didn't work for me.
- I tried to install the previous version (12.1.2). I was able to render footage, but wasn't able to drag and drop my AE composition in AME.
- I tried to reinstall AE and AME.
- I tried to reset my AE preferences.
- I checked my Dynamic Link connection in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Anybody else got this issue? Really appreciate the help!
Thanks!
