hello Russel,
I am installing Deadline on the Mac workstation of our Motion Dpt, and I wonder if the 2.6.3 of Mono is working well with the Deadline 4.0 Sp1 for Mac OS X ?.
Thjis morning when I attempted to to that with the 3.1 and Mono 2.6.3, of course did not work in the parsing mac folder part, So I decided to switch for the 4.x Deadline. 
And anyway it will be good for the FX team as well !
Thanks for your response and all the great work you do within Deadline !
T
Yes, Deadline 4.0 SP1 should work fine with Mono 2.6.x.
Deadline 3.1 actually requires Mono 2.2 to work, so that could explain the problems you were having. Mono 2.4 and later actually introduced some issues that prevent Deadline 3.1 from running properly.
Cheers,
hello Russell,
Thank for the reply.
Now I have another question:
I sett he path in the monitor tool design for that so:
Volumes/IC SOURCE/blablabla
Replace by:
smb:\IC SOURCE\blablabla
But now Deadline gives me back this error:

Does it related with the paths I set ?
Thanks,

I ran some other tests,
It s kind of weird, some of the frames where rendered and wrote in the output folder. But maybe that was a Mac node. have to check.
After that I built a test scene with only Built-in resources. it works perfectly, even the output on the same server than previously.
It means, I guess, the path was finally right.
At least, what is the right equivalent for the Path replacer ?
I am using that one:
Mac: /Volumes/IC_SOURCE2/IC MOTION
Windows: \icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2\IC MOTION\
I am going to check and fix, I have to that tomorrow morning.
Thanks,
T
For cross platform rendering considerations with AE, check out this link:
software.primefocusworld.com/sof … iderations
For Path replacement, note that each entry is only a one-way translation, so you might need to define two entries. For example:
Entry 1: (Windows to Mac translation)
Replace Path: \icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2\IC MOTION
Windows Path: [Leave Blank]
Linux Path: [Leave Blank]
Mac Path: /Volumes/IC_SOURCE2/IC MOTION/
Entry 2: (Mac to Windows translation)
Replace Path: /Volumes/IC_SOURCE2/IC MOTION/
Windows Path: \icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2\IC MOTION
Linux Path: [Leave Blank]
Mac Path: [Leave Blank]
Note that I also added a path separator to the end of the Mac path, otherwise that could cause problems.
Cheers,
thank you Russell, I am on it right now !

Ok,
I still have this error which I guess is all my problem actually:

Seems Deadline is looking for the wrong path, it’s systematically looking for the path added to the root of the Windows After Effect folder…
Do you have any idea why ?
Thanks,
T
Can you send us a screen shot of your current path mapping setup?
Thanks!
In your mapped path setup, the IC_SOURCE2 folder has an underscore in it, but in the path submitted to Deadline, it does not. So Deadline isn’t swapping out the path because it’s not finding the path that it’s supposed to swap out. Removing the underscore in your mapped path entries should solve the problem.
Cheers,
it works, now.
Many thanks for your responsive feedback !
Cheers,
T
Hmmm,
Really weird…
screencast.com/t/YWQ0OTZiMmI
if you look at the path of the file, i reverse the \ for a / at the end of a ae project location…
And when I am not using any rush, only still image sequence or solid, it works nice, but by the time I introduce a sequence in the comp, it sucks… I am starting to be lost.
T
Deadline corrects the path separators depending on the OS, so the path that it is passing to AE is “\icsource2\ifs\ICSOURCE2\IC MOTION\deadline test render AE\V5.aep”, which looks valid. Can you confirm that this path is actually valid on your Windows machine? For example, can you paste “\icsource2\ifs\ICSOURCE2\IC MOTION\deadline test render AE” into Windows Explorer and find V5.aep in the folder?
Cheers,
yes I can.
So is it a problem if the both paths are not located under the same workgroup ?
T
I’m not quite sure what you mean here. Can you elaborate a bit?
Here is something to try. On the windows machine that is reporting this error (Cgi-4), open up a command prompt, and try performing a command line render with the same command line arguments that Deadline is using. For example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\aerender.exe -project “\icsource2\ifs\ICSOURCE2\IC MOTION\deadline test render AE\V5.aep” -comp “[YOUR COMP NAME]” -s 1 -e 1 -output “[YOUR OUTPUT PATH]”
You can view the exact arguments Deadline is using in the error report (which you took a screen shot of). If you get the same error, then the problem isn’t Deadline related. If it renders successfully, that would be strange because I can’t imagine what Deadline is doing that would prevent AE from thinking this path is valid.
Cheers,
Hey Russel,
So…
This is what I did this morning, I guess I have some interesting stuff.
First of all I did the command line with the appropriate paths and nothing worked, same stuff, invalid path. So after that I decided to simplified the problem.
I did the same AE project but a level lower in the network path hierarchy, I mean, the aep file is located at the root of IC_SOURCES in the folder TESTAE.
So no space, and within that, V10.aep and a folder named “out” for the output. The footage resource is as well on the root of TESTAE.
So basically, I create a path without any space in it.
I ran the command line :
C:\Program files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After effects CS4\Support files>aerender.exe -project “\icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2\TEATAE\V10.aep” -output "\icsource2\IC_SOURCE2\TESTAE\out\
it ran perfectly without any problem.
Now I am running the same project through Deadline Monitor on my Mac, I checked if it was able to see each drive / folder. It’s OK
It fails again with the same argument: invalid path

I set my Change path in Deadline like that:
Replace: \icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2
Mac: /Volumes/icsource2/
and
Replace: /Volumes/icsource2/
Windows: \icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2\
Both Case sensitive : Off
So,
1rst: It seems Deadline can’t go through a Folder named with a Space or / and CAPITAL type
2nd: Deadline is not able to go more than 2 levels in the path length.
it s kind of crazy.
I am looking with my IT Guy in House if we have some trouble in the permissions maybe.
Do you have some hints about that ?
Thanks,
Tanguy BODIVIT
Yeah, something definitely seems a little wacky here. Deadline should have no problem with either of these situations, and we’ve tested both here without any problems. So on this same machine, what happens when you run this from a command prompt:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\aerender.exe” -project “\icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2\TESTAE\V10.aep”
Does this actually work, or do you get the same “Unable to Render: File Not Found \icsource2\ifs\IC_SOURCE2\TESTAE\Rolex.mov” error?
Also, are you submitting from the Deadline Monitor? If so, maybe try specifying the name of comp you want to render before submitting the job to see if that makes a difference.
Cheers,
Well,
I did what you requested and I got that from Deadline:

Sorry, just to confirm, are you running the command line test on the same slave machine that is reporting these errors?
yes I ran the command line on the slave machine and it ran fine.
it is when I am running from the Deadline Monitor ion the Mac that s not running.
