Are you submitting the job from the Deadline Monitor’s Submit menu, or are you submitting the job from within After Affects? If you’re submitting from the Monitor, you need to make sure you specify the correct comp name, otherwise After Effects will give you this error:

Based on the log, the comp name you’re giving is “Z:\KFP\Rendering\NETWORKRENDER\WallPaper_Black”. Open the project file in After Effects and note the name of the comp you want to render (also make sure that comp is in the Render Queue). Then when you submit the job from the Monitor, make sure the comp name you specify matches the one in the project file exactly.

Hi,

Thanks its working fine , :slight_smile:

some more information
i want to render multiple AE comp renders ,with different frame range so which naming i have to use

EXP
composition ___ Test01,Test02
Frame List ___ 1-25,1-50

like this it will work,Deadline 3.0 in this is possible to render more then one AE comp ???

Glad to hear that works!

The only way After Effects can render multiple comps as part of the same job is to render it all on one machine as part of a single task. So you don’t get any benefit of using a render farm because the frames can’t be split up. This is a limitation of After Effects, not Deadline, so there is nothing we can do about this. In the latest version of Deadline, our submitters support this, but I doubt that’s the case with Deadline 3.0. Regardless, you probably don’t want to be doing this anyways.

The recommended approach is to submit a separate job for each comp. In the Monitor submitter, this means typing in the comp name and pressing submit for each comp. This can be a pain, so I would recommend using the integrated After Effects submission script (note that the custom sanity check section isn’t available for Deadline 3.0):

The integrated script walks through each comp in the render queue and automatically sets the comp name, so it’s more convenient to use.
