Output Args changed during submission

Deadline
1

Hello,

I often submit ffmpeg jobs via deadline command. After updating to DL 7.2 output args of ffmeg jobs using filters were changed.

I have this line in my jobfile:
OutputArgs=-c:v libx264 -b:v 5000k -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags faststart -y -vf “movie=‘R:/Deadline-ProCoder/DeadlineCommand-Basisdaten/footage/PREVIEW_FullHD.tif’ [watermark]; [in] [watermark] overlay=0:0 [out]”

In the DL monitor I had sevral errors and when checking the ouput args I got:
-c:v libx264 -b:v 5000k -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags faststart -y -vf “movie=‘R:/Deadline-ProCoder/DeadlineCommand-Basisdaten/footage/PREVIEW_FullHD.tif’ [watermark]
[in] [watermark] overlay=0:0 [out]”

Now there is a RETURN ("\n" I guess) and the “;” after the first [watermark] is missing. I can manually add the “;” and everything runs fine but I would like to have my “autmatic” process back working.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you very much.

Best regards

Thorsten

Hello,

Currently the only solution is to manually redo the semi colon and remove the new line, because this is hard coded in Deadline. I am submitting this as a bug report, though, as that code should not apply as widely as it is.
