Hello,
I´m testing Deadline right now and getting pretty good results in 3dsmax and AfterEffects rendering!
But I´m having trouble generating quicktime movies out of the render results:
a)
Rendering a job with 3dsmax plus an Quicktime.
In addition Quicktime PRO 7.1.5. is installed on the machine; but does the system need it?
No quicktime
Error Type:
RenderPluginException
Slave Log:

A movie is generated, but Deadline resubmits the job several times.
b) Deadline Monitor > “Submit Quicktime to Deadline”
Quicktime Renderer: Apple QuickTime. I press submit and get the additional Quicktime settings in german. If I press “Einstellungen” (settings) the dialog gets terminated and nothing happens. If I just press OK in this dialog Deadline Command BG returns:
Deadline Command BG 2.7 [v2.7.29178 R]
Submitting to Repository: \demian\render
Submission Contains the Following:
- Auxiliary File #1 (“C:\Deadline\temp\quicktime_plugin_info.job”)
- Auxiliary File #2 (“C:\Deadline\temp\quicktime_ExportSettings.xml”)
Error: DeleteOnComplete was specified as “Falsch”, but can not parse given text into a boolean value: falsch
Parameter name: text (System.ArgumentException) (Deadline.Submission.DeadlineSubmitException)
“falsch” is german for “wrong”. Quicktime seems to return german boolean expressions.
Then I press OK and no task is generated.
The systems are Windows XP 64 bit - german…
Any ideas on this two errors?
Thanks,
Tim
