Job rendering failed

[archprateek]

I have a very basic knowledge of AE and Node. On creating an aep file with only an image asset, I tried following the steps mentioned in the document.

Error I Get admin$ sudo nexrender-cli --file /Users/10times-71/Documents/myjob.json --workpath "/Users/10times-71/Documents"

starting nexrender-cli using automatically determined directory of After Effects installation:

JSON File

}

I must be doing some basic mistake here which I am not aware of. Can anyone help me with identifying this? TIA.

check the result folder, if there is a rendered file (it probably wont exist) also check the ae render log, there must be some information about why it was not rendered

[archprateek]

Neither file is there, nor the render log has any detail.

Render log aerender version 17.0.4x59 PROGRESS: Launching After Effects... PROGRESS: ...After Effects successfully launched

I am on mac os and using AE 2020

something definitely went wrong with the rendering process, could you try enabling debug mode (via --debug)? there should be a line in the log that displays command that is going to be used to start aerender process, try running that manually

I am also facing the same issue.

On running in debug mode I am getting permission error:

aerender Error: After Effects error: Error in output for render queue item 1, output module 1. Can not create a file in directory /tmp/nexrender/P9-5xGz69qJF1RQCSsodA. Try checking write permissions. aerender version 17.0.5x16

Solved by removing sudo
