I found a quite logical solution.

You may not be able to change the path showed in the media encoder. But you can sure add a sequence from the “File” menu.

From there just locate the project folder,select the project file. The encoder will then display all the sequences you have. Proceed to select one then click Ok.

And there you go. No cleanings,no re – installs, no shortcuts.

Hope this helps everyone.

[Joel Morales Escobar] “I found this, and it totally solved my issue:

Solution: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobedynamiclink.

As dumb as it may sound, it worked! And I didn’t had to uninstall or reinstall nothing. I kept both my CS3 and CS4.

Good luck!

I had to re-install CS4 and CS5 recently. To keep the two versions from crashing each other on my machine I installed them to non-default locations. By doing this, it messed up the shortcuts in the dynamiclink folder. Fixing the application shortcut to the actual Premiere location solved the issue and I’m transcoding happily now.

Hi, I’ve got a similar problem. I have a new machine that is a 32 bits, i7, 4g ram, . I wanted to install Cs5, so I just left AE and Premier in CS4 since CS5 versions cant being run at 32 machines, when I finished to install the CS5 package, the AME stop finding my source files so I couldn’t export any videos at all.

After done all the internet fixes (premier.exe direct access in dynamiclink folder, change cache folder, etc) nothing works.

I cleaned my machine from all Adobe app, folders, etc, left nothing behing, clean register, defragmented register, etc. Not a trace of adobe in my machine.

Then I installed CS4 programs (AE and Premier Pro) and YEAH, Premier export as a charm and AME works just perfect.

Install CS5 package to use Photo, Illustrator etc, and once again the ADOBE Dynamic link was broken again, so AME once again couldn’t find my sources files.

So, here’s my dilemma, I could install CS4 forever -until I change to 64, but not likely any sooner- cause I need to use AE and Premier, but getting stuck with this package is a really pain in my***/ since I have a lot of things going on Flash CS5. But most important I don’t want to change to 64 at this moment by personal and technical reasons.

Hope this information helps to find a solution to this problem.
Greetings.

Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares …
solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!) .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some “clever” solution.
I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give “BUG Report” to them, and write “feature request” to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual “broken” connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to “take material” from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..
I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.

Steps to reproduce bug:
1. i export anything by button “queue” from premiere to Encoder
2. Encoder will start encoding
3. Encoder does not show the window of media encoding (down left )
Results: sound of sheep occur,
in encoding error file is this reason of canceling the encoding :
01/02/2014 10:10:48 AM : Encoding Failed
————————————————————
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
————————————————————

History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did “repair” this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :

1. after repairing “error 5” problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) .
I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via “queue” to Encoder) was working fine . . .
2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason – i did not do installations )
and showed in error export log file :
“Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.”
3.repair via procedure(procedure “a”):
i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
I did these steps :
a-uninstall master coll suite
b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
c-removed raw directories in locations

•C:Program FilesAdobe
•C:Program Files(x86)Adobe
•C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobe
•C:Program Files(x86)Common FilesAdobe
•C:ProgramDataAdobe

d-removed these links from registry file

•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAdobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAdobe
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INESOFTWAREWow6432NodeAdobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER SoftwareWow6432NodeAdobe
e-restarted the PC
f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
g-update the software

result of repair of “3” : problem still exists

4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created ANOTHER NEW admin account.
4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)

result :

==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via “queue” (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via “queue” (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via “queue” (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
(in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via “drag and drop)

problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..

this issue should be some “broken” connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to “take material” from it and encode.

what i expect :
to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !

what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

I have exactly the same issue with the plug ins folder being empty and the hanging screen that says “Select Waves 7.0 Plug-Ins Folder”. I would love to know if you got around this issue and if so how!
