I upgraded to the latest version of AE (18.2.0) from 17 and the issue still persists. The issue started randomly from one render to the next on the same project with no new plugins used or any significant changes made.

The same happens if I send an AE linked comp from Pr to AME, it then adds it then crashes Pr but works fine with any other timelines that I have in Pr with no AE dynamic links. I'm then still able to render the file in AME but only that single file, it won't render the rest of the queue if there is more than 1 sequence queued up. Sending to AME triggers an autosave in AE even if this option is disabled in the preferences then crashes AE. Hoping this helps others solve this problem. All comps render again via the AEM queue. I reopened the app and tried to render via AEM queue and it worked. I hit undo to bring the comps folder back and tried to add to AEM queue. You must watch the youtube video 'Render 300X FASTER Premiere / After Effects / Media Encoder ' Im successfully using this with CC 2018 products. For a quad core / 4 threadded machine like mine, this made Media Encoder jump from 1 core to using 96 of all four. Then, I deleted the comps folder and tried again. Place in Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoders executable folders. I started again by retrying to render through AEM queue, and it failed like before. I quit the app without saving the file and then reopened the same file. I deleted the comps folder and attempted again, and it worked. I deleted the assets folder and then attempted to add the composition to get the same result. NOTE: none of the comps in this file will render via add to AEM queue. AEM opened, but nothing showed up in the queue. I tried to render the main comp via AEM queue, but it failed. I have my Project file divided into 4 folders and the main comp: assets, comps, seqs, and solids. I am not sure why this fixed it, but now all comps render through the AEM queue. I decided to go back into the AE file and attempt to root out the issue. In some cases, you may get an immediate resolution while in others, it will help the After Effects team to get to the root of the problem and drive product enhancements. NOTE: Sharing the logs with the After Effects team doesn't assure an immediate fix.
