Hey Guys,
I’m having a problem that I can’t seem to figure out. For some reason when I render with After Effects through Deadline, the nodes render the frame and store it in cache, but they don’t actually write out the file for an additional 6-10 minutes. They just sit there not doing anything for 10 minutes, then finally write out the file.
Has anyone else had this problem?
This is a new one for us. When rendering AE jobs, Deadline just runs aerender.exe and waits for it to finish, so maybe you could try running aerender.exe from a command prompt on one of the render nodes, using the same arguments that Deadline is using. These arguments can be found in the render log for the job. If you notice the same problem when rendering from the command line, then at the very least we can eliminate Deadline as being the cause of the problem.
Also, feel free to post one of the render logs. Maybe it might contain some information that might explain what’s going on.
Cheers,
