Deadline 6.1 nuke submitter not obeying chunksize

Deadline

Hey,

We have been having an issue where occasionally the Frames Per Task option in Nuke doesn’t carry over when a job is submitted. I tested this on my machine and set the Frames Per Task (chunkSize) to 5, and it worked. Another user did the same thing and the extra info is reporting the following:

Name=1000_0020_comp_master_v0008.nk
UserName=kevin.pierce
Frames=1-55
ChunkSize=1000000

OutputFilename3=1000_0020_comp_master_v0005.####.jpg
OutputFilename4=1000_0020_comp_master_v0006.####.exr

Any ideas?

Actually we figured this out on our own. It was because one of the write nodes submitted had a .mov file output, so it looks like the Nuke plugin forces the chunksize when it detects a video file output since multiple machines cannot render to the same file.

Hello Brett,

Glad it got worked out.
