Hi,
Novice Deadline user here, trying to render After Effects. I seem to be getting the error related to GPU (or lack thereof).
Deadline render nodes have AMD Crossfire 2270 GPUs. Project has use Mercury Software only.
Have tried a very simple project with no plugins and a single object.
It does appear to actually produce the .tiff sequence but not sure what this errors mean or how to fix it.
=======================================================
Error
Error: There were 1 or more errors with the output
at Deadline.Plugins.PluginWrapper.RenderTasks(String taskId, Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage, AbortLevel& abortLevel)
=======================================================
Type
RenderPluginException
