Hi there,
Ok so they’re all on 3.1 now, I’ve kicked that AfterEffects job off again and it’s still throwing exceptions and still not supressing the ASL window.
I’m also still getting corrupt logs, but interestingly there’s more information in them.
Here’s a Corrupt log :

0: STDOUT: - pure virtual function call
LICENSE-FREE MODE: Repository has two slaves including this one - no license required.
0: STDOUT: aerender version 8.0x298
0: STDOUT: USAGE:
0: STDOUT: 1] aerender renders After Effects comps. The render may be performed either
0: STDOUT: by an already running instance of AE or by a newly invoked instance. By
0: STDOUT: default, aerender will invoke a new instance of AE, even if one is
0: STDOUT: already running. To change this, see the "-reuse" flag below.
0: STDOUT: 2] aerender takes a series of optional arguments.
0: STDOUT: Some are single flags, like "-reuse". Some come in flag-argument
0: STDOUT: pairs, like "-project project_path". And one comes in a triplet,
0: STDOUT: -mem_usage image_cache_percent max_mem_percent.
0: STDOUT: 3] aerender with 0 arguments, or with any argument equaling "-help"
0: STDOUT: or "-h", prints this usage message.
0: STDOUT: 4] The arguments are:
0: STDOUT: "-h" print this usage message
0: STDOUT: "-help" print this usage message
0: STDOUT: "-reuse" use this flag if you want to try and reuse
0: STDOUT: an already running instance of AE to perform the
0: STDOUT: render. By default, aerender will launch a new
0: STDOUT: instance of After Effects, even if one is already
0: STDOUT: running. But, if AE is already running, and the
0: STDOUT: "-reuse" flag is provided, then aerender will
0: STDOUT: ask the already running instance of AE to perform
0: STDOUT: the render. Whenever aerender launches a new
0: STDOUT: instance of AE, it will tell AE to quit when
0: STDOUT: rendering is completed; otherwise, it will not
0: STDOUT: quit AE. Also, the preferences will be written
0: STDOUT: to file upon quit when the "-reuse" flag is
0: STDOUT: specified; otherwise it will not be written.
0: STDOUT: "-project project_path" where project_path is a file path or URI
0: STDOUT: specifying a project file to open.
0: STDOUT: If none is provided, aerender will work with the
0: STDOUT: currently open project.
0: STDOUT: If no project is open and no project is provided,
0: STDOUT: an error will result.
0: STDOUT: "-comp comp_name" where comp_name specifies a comp to be rendered.
0: STDOUT: If the comp is in the render queue already, and
0: STDOUT: in a queueable state, then (only) the first
0: STDOUT: queueable instance of that comp on the render
0: STDOUT: queue will be rendered. If the comp is in the
0: STDOUT: project but not in the render queue, then it will
0: STDOUT: be added to the render queue and rendered.
0: STDOUT: If no -comp argument is provided, aerender will
0: STDOUT: render the entire render queue as is. In this
0: STDOUT: case (no -comp), the only other arguments used
0: STDOUT: will be -project, -log, -v, -mem_usage, and
0: STDOUT: -close; the -RStemplate, -OMtemplate, -output,
0: STDOUT: -s, -e, and -i arguments will be ignored.
0: STDOUT: "-rqindex index_in_render_queue" where index_in_render_queue specifies a
0: STDOUT: render queue item to be rendered. Options that make
0: STDOUT: sense when rendering a single render queue item
0: STDOUT: are available like with the -comp flag.
0: STDOUT: "-RStemplate render_settings_template" where render_settings_template
0: STDOUT: is the name of a template to apply to the render
0: STDOUT: queue item.If the template does not exist it is
0: STDOUT: an error.
0: STDOUT: Default is to use the render template already
0: STDOUT: defined for the item.
0: STDOUT: "-OMtemplate output_module_template" where output_module_template
0: STDOUT: is the name of a template to apply to the
0: STDOUT: output module. If the template does not exist
0: STDOUT: it is an error.
0: STDOUT: Default is to use the template already defined
0: STDOUT: for the output module.
0: STDOUT: "-output output_path" where output_path is a file path or URI
0: STDOUT: specifying the destination render file.
0: STDOUT: Default is the path already in the project file.
0: STDOUT: "-log logfile_path" where logfile_path is a file path or URI
0: STDOUT: specifying the location of the log file.
0: STDOUT: Default is stdout.
0: STDOUT: "-s start_frame" where start_frame is the first frame to render.
0: STDOUT: Default is the start frame in the file.
0: STDOUT: "-e end_frame" where end_frame is the last frame to render.
0: STDOUT: Note, this is "inclusive;" the final frame
0: STDOUT: will be rendered.
0: STDOUT: Default is the end frame in the file.
0: STDOUT: "-i increment" where increment is the number of frames to
0: STDOUT: advance before rendering a new frame. A value
0: STDOUT: of 1 (the default) results in a normal rendering
0: STDOUT: of all frames. Higher increments will repeat the
0: STDOUT: same (frame increment-1) times and then render a
0: STDOUT: new one, starting the cycle again. Higher values
0: STDOUT: result in faster renders but choppier motion.
0: STDOUT: Default is 1.
0: STDOUT: "-mem_usage image_cache_percent max_mem_percent"
0: STDOUT: where image_cache_percent specifies the maximum
0: STDOUT: percent of memory used to cache already rendered
0: STDOUT: images/footage, and max_mem_percent specifies
0: STDOUT: the total percent of memory that can be
0: STDOUT: used by After Effects.
0: STDOUT: "-mp" use this flag to use multiple processes to
0: STDOUT: render multiple frames simultaneously
0: STDOUT: "-v verbose_flag" where verbose_flag specifies the type of
0: STDOUT: messages reported. Possible values are ERRORS
0: STDOUT: (prints only fatal and problem errors) or
0: STDOUT: ERRORS_AND_PROGRESS (prints progress of rendering
0: STDOUT: as well).
0: STDOUT: Default value is ERRORS_AND_PROGRESS.
0: STDOUT: "-close close_flag" where close_flag specifies whether or not to
0: STDOUT: close the project when done rendering, and
0: STDOUT: whether or not to save changes. If close_flag is
0: STDOUT: DO_NOT_SAVE_CHANGES, project will be closed
0: STDOUT: without saving changes. If close_flag is
0: STDOUT: SAVE_CHANGES, project will be closed and changes
0: STDOUT: will be saved. If close_flag is DO_NOT_CLOSE the
0: STDOUT: project will be left open; but the project is
0: STDOUT: left open only if using an already-running
0: STDOUT: instance of AE, since new invocations of AE must
0: STDOUT: always close and quit when done.
0: STDOUT: Default value is DO_NOT_SAVE_CHANGES.
0: STDOUT: "-sound sound_flag" where sound_flag specifies whether or not to play
0: STDOUT: a sound when rendering is complete. Possible
0: STDOUT: values are "ON" or "OFF".
0: STDOUT: Default value is "OFF".
0: STDOUT: "-version" displays the version number of aerender to the
0: STDOUT: console. Does not render.
0: STDOUT: 5] EXAMPLES:
0: STDOUT: To render just Comp 1 to a specified file:
0: STDOUT: aerender -project c:\projects\proj1.aep -comp "Comp 1"
0: STDOUT: -output c:\output\proj1\proj1.avi
0: STDOUT: To render everything in the render queue as is in the project file:
0: STDOUT: aerender -project c:\projects\proj1.aep
0: STDOUT: To render frames 1-10 using multi-machine render:
0: STDOUT: aerender -project c:\projects\proj1.aep -comp "Comp 1" -s 1 -e 10
