Cross Platform Problems

[superegophobia]

Deadline is already setup with path mapping so all our regular jobs from Maya/AE/C4D/Nuke etc render fine across Windows and OS X. However when using the Draft option, the Draft job will only render on the platform that the job was submitted from.

We have both mixed workstations and render nodes so is there a setting similar to Monitor’s path mapping that needs this info or something? The scripts we’re trying are the sample scripts that comes with Draft to make h264 Quicktimes.

Hey there,

Deadline should be doing Path Mapping on everything it passes to Draft… This wasn’t always the case though, so it may just need to be a case where you might want to upgrade. What version of Deadline are you guys running? Could you post a log from one of the Draft jobs that should’ve had their paths swapped but didn’t?

Cheers,
