Deadline might just be the messenger here. To confirm if this is the case or not, go to the machine that reported this error (VADER), open a command prompt, and run this command:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "Y:\projects\Lets Play\sequence\sc03\AQ_Pirates_001_sc03_sh01.v007.aep" -comp "Sc03_Sh004" -s 1530722 -e 1530722 -output "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline7\slave\VADER\jobsData\542002c6be76cd20dc5b1361\AfterEffectsOutput_tempILIiv0\Sc03_Sh004_[#####].png"

This is the exact same command that Deadline is running. Note that the output path is pointing to a temporary local location, so for this test, you might just want to create a folder on your desktop and change the -output path to point to that instead.

If you get the same error, then at least you know it’s an AE issue. If you don’t get the same error, post the log from the command line render and we’ll compare it to the Deadline log.

Thanks!

I do get the same error, so not a Deadline problem. Sorry about that.

No worries! At least this helps narrow down the problem for you. :slight_smile:
