FusionQuicktimeSubmission template

Deadline
1

Hello!
I have a problem as in title. FusionQuicktimeSubmission is working fine if I don’t use any template, but when I do Fusion is crashing just after start.
I’m on Deadline 10.2.0.1 and using Fusion 16 for this.

Here is the log:

=======================================================

I get this even if there is any loader and saver in the template.
It seems like this is the problematic part in “CreateQuicktime.eyeonscript”

function GetToolType(comp, toolname)
	toolresult = {}

	for i, tool in comp:GetToolList() do
		if tool:GetAttrs().TOOLS_RegID == toolname then
			table.insert(toolresult, tool)
		end
	end

Can you help me with this?

Hey! We reviewed this today. My guesses thus far:

  • The “comp” variable we’re passing in may be an incorrect data type for the call at line 96.
  • The “Missing frame strategy: Output Black” isn’t an error, just some debug info.

It looks like we can add some Lua debugging by adding this just before line 96. It’ll dump the stack every time, but when it fails we’ll know which stack it was and then hopefully know what code sent the bad ‘comp’ value.

print(debug.traceback())

If you can backup [repo]/plugins/Fusion/CreateQuicktime.eyeonscript and add that line? It should look like this:

function GetToolType(comp, toolname)
	toolresult = {}

	print(debug.traceback())

	for i, tool in comp:GetToolList() do
		if tool:GetAttrs().TOOLS_RegID == toolname then
			table.insert(toolresult, tool)
		end
	end

	return toolresult
end

Thanks for the response!
