We’re finding out the hard way that vbscript prints out boolean values in the machine’s selected language, instead of True/False or 1/0. This causes errors when submitting within After Effects, or when submitting any job from the Monitor.
This will be addressed in the upcoming release, but in the meantime you can modify the submission scripts yourself to get around this problem.
If you’re submitting from within After Effects, you need to modify the file “//your/repository/submission/aftereffects/SubmitAEToDeadline.vbs”
If you’re submitting from the Monitor, you can find the submission script folders in “//your/repository/submission/monitor”. Simply open up the necessary .vbs file that is found in each of these folders.
Change the following lines, which can be found towards the bottom of the script files (note that not all submission scripts will have all 4 lines to change, but there shouldn’t be any lines other than these 4):
i) Change…
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “PoolMachinesOnly=” & dialog.GetValue( “PoolExclusive” )
…to…
If dialog.GetValue( “PoolExclusive” ) Then
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “PoolMachinesOnly=true”
Else
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “PoolMachinesOnly=false”
End If
ii) Change…
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “ReorderFrames=” & dialog.GetValue( “ReorderFrames” )
…to…
If dialog.GetValue( “ReorderFrames” ) Then
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “ReorderFrames=true”
Else
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “ReorderFrames=false”
End If
iii) Change…
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “ForceReloadPlugin=” & dialog.GetValue( “ReloadPlugin” )
…to…
If dialog.GetValue( “ReloadPlugin” ) Then
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “ForceReloadPlugin=true”
Else
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “ForceReloadPlugin=false”
End If
iv) Change…
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “DeleteOnComplete=” & dialog.GetValue( “DeleteOnComplete” )
…to…
If dialog.GetValue( “DeleteOnComplete” ) Then
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “DeleteOnComplete=true”
Else
submitInfoFile.WriteLine “DeleteOnComplete=false”
End If
