After Effects Can't Overwrite Files, doesn't Error

[Nick_Weeden]

Hi,

Just had a weird issue where After Effects couldn’t overwrite the files but didn’t actually error so it looked like it completed successfully but hasn’t actually saved any frames out. You can see below that it throws a warning but then exits the process as if it was fine. Is there any way to pick this up?

Thanks

Nick

Hello Nick,

We can add in some code to the AE plugin to detect this as a fatal error. Can you advise what version of Deadline you are running so we can make changes to the right version of the plugin? Thanks.

Hi Dwight,

We’re running 8.0.7.3.
