AE render doesn't really render but Deadline thinks it does

See attached the output of your request.

I think there’s just something that went haywire in that AE comp for some reason.
I’m not sure, but in the last days AE did crash at some point… I generally make it my policy to not continue with recovery-save-files… but perhaps there was something that was transferred in this one … no clue

Last Draft related question:
I’ve been looking through the repository (and help) but can’t seem to find a way to change the default quick settings of the Draft submission script?
It’s on JPG default and when switching to MOV it goes first to mjpeg compression and 85 as quality.

I’d like that to be on MOV - h264 100% by default… is this a changeable preset or do I need then always need a custom template?
