Not OP, but I have the same problem. AME just won't run. Double click, it's loading, I can see the process in Windows Task Manager but it just goes away again. Tried deleting that watch folder .xml but not working. Here's my spec from the FAQ:
- What version of Adobe Media Encoder? Include the minor version number (e.g., Adobe Media Encoder CS6 with the 6.0.1 update).
- AME CC from premiere cc 7.0.1
- What other Adobe applications do you have installed, and what application are you using Adobe Media Encoder with?
- Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro
- Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
- Used creative cloud to update to latest version
- What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
- Windows 7. All update patch installed.
- Are you using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
- Yeah
- What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
- N/A. App won't launch
- If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
- No error message
- Is the problem only occurring with a specific output format or encoding preset? If so, which one? If this is a custom preset not included with AME, then upload the preset file to a file-sharing site and provide a link.
- No.
