We are having an issue with After Effects submissions. Of 40 nodes about 30% give this error at any one time.
I can’t find a pattern to the nodes but all nodes have given the error at one point.
Some render do still wok but other just give this error and never start. Others reach 100% but never finish or transfer files.
I know that a missing effect is listed in this log however I’ve enabled Ignoring missing effect references. It should not be an issue as far as I know.
Using AE 2015 V13.7.1.6
Thanks for any help.
