So I deleted a file named com.Adobe.Adobe Media Encoder.4.0.plist and it launched. Now let’s see if it works.

Yes, there’s something to be said for System 7. Move the files and they just work.

None of your suggestions worked for me. The CS3 Flash Encoder works but I want to use the CS4 version that has more options. Sorry to sidetrack your post with this issue but you made me think when you said your software worked. The difference is that I used Migration Assistant to move my files to a new laptop instead of CCC. I’ll keep my eyes and ears out for a solution. Let me know if you hear of any. Thanks.

I miss System 7.

I’m assuming you reamed out permissions with Disk Utility, but if not, try that voodoo.

I Googled the issue, and apparently you’re not alone. One suggestion was to turn off “Preview While Encoding” in preferences, but if you can’t get it to launch, that’s no help. Did you recently allow the Acrobat 8.2 update? That seems to be causing problems for CS3/3 apps, but perhaps it poisons CS 4 as well. See:

I’ve not gotten Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to work for me since I “upgraded” to Snow Leopard. It crashes on launch every time. Sounds like you got everything working. Any ideas? (I tried deleting the prefs but that didn’t help) I should have tried it your way.

And Fireworks feels like it’s from another planet… cute Seagate drive, BTW.

That’s one sexy drive and I’ve been meaning to clone my laptop for a while now. I religiously use Time Machine, but if my laptop craps out on me, this could be a major stress reducer.

Thanks for the tips, Mistress of the Mac!

I just surfed in from the ‘net. The ink “color” Registration caught my eye. I remembered my years as a computer editor in Yearbook class in the late ’90’s – that would have fallen under my juridiction. I KNOW we sent lots of pages to print with Black/Registraion used interchageably. It depended on what mood we were in, I guess. I never knew that! Some poor editor at Josten’s had to go through all these high school kids’ work and fix these errors! No wonder the books were so expensive, lol. Thanks for the info!

Thanks! My company recently upgraded to CS4 and you ended my WTF moment today when the “Essentials” workspace opened as my default.
