Hello,

Can you send over a job report so we can take a look and see if there is anything to indicate to use what is happening? Thanks.

Hi,
Over the years, After Effects has had various issues with ‘noise’ in their audio files in various versions of their software. Can you upgrade to the latest version of After Effects?

5

Upgrading AE is a big project. Plugins, py scripts, and support programs need to be modified.
In rendering the cluster, the MP3 file that does not use AE to use the deadline output is no problem.

6

Hi,
If you remote login to the Slave that is generating this issue and open a Command Prompt and execute the following, does the resulting MP3 file sound ok?

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "\\file\www\1aep\20160501114213902075bsmp3.aep" -mp

If not, try this:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "\\file\www\1aep\20160501114213902075bsmp3.aep"

Does it now succeed if the “Multi-Process” option is disabled?

If it still fails, then we have eliminated Deadline out of the equation and we know for sure it is a bug in After Effects.

Hi
thanks for your help!
I’ll test it, and then fed back

8

This is a lot of video and the additional effects of job.
The render output is a sequence of frames.
So the extra output of a MP3 file for post processing.
And then I found that the MP3 file has a murmur.
The 2 tests given by MikeOwen failed.
Then I use the cluster to render a MOV file. Found there is also a murmur.
So I had some tests on my hardware. I found that the memory of the material used in the server disk pressure is too large.
There is no noise when the load is low.

thank you for your help

No problem! I’m glad you got to the bottom of the issue!
