[Bill Clark] “I reinstalled everything twice, and during this process spotted that Adobe is now putting all the plug ins in a central folder – which it refers to as media core. This on a Mac is at Macintosh HD/Library/Application Suport/Adobe/Common/Plug ins/CS4. (There might also be a CS3 file as well)
It occurred to me that this might be causing confusion – Media Encoder trying to load plug ins that it doesn’t understand and might not be licensed for in the XML file. So I pulled them out of there and put them straight into the AE CS4 plug in folder. Bingo. All the plug ins run fine – AND SO DOES MEDIA ENCODER! And now, no problems at all with the dynamic links between AE, Premiere Pro and ME.”
Wow Bill, you truly are a genius! This totally worked for me, the Media Encoder is encoding as we speak! 😉 Thanks for sharing!
