Stack on rendering job...

[nivnoiman]

Hi, Just installed the cli and the npm package on my Windows 10 64B machine.

Tried already 3 custom aep files and got the same situation in all.

I tried to render via the cli or the npm module but still stack on the proccess.

for example this is my js code :

const { render } = require('@nexrender/core')

const main = async () => {
    const result = await render({
            "template": {
                    "src": "file:///D:/Internet/AfterEffect/myproject.aep",
                    "composition": "main"
            },
            "assets": [
                {
                    "type": "data",
                    "layerName": "clean",
                    "property": 'Source Text',
                    "value": "Niv"
                }
            ],
            "actions":{
                "postrender": [
                        {
                                "module": "@nexrender/action-encode",
                                "preset": "mp4",
                                "output": "encoded.mp4"
                        },
                        {
                                "module": "@nexrender/action-copy",
                                "input": "encoded.mp4",
                                "output": "D:/Internet/AfterEffect/myresult.mp4"
                        }
                ]
            }
        }
        )
}

main().catch(console.error);

the result ( more the hour ) is always the same (tmp directory change ofcourse ).

I found solution :) Thanks anyway.

If others also have my problem -

Version 23 did not work for me on Windows 10 64bit I downgraded to version 22.

After that, I had to change the path of the workpath because I had characters in the name of my user that the software did not know how to deal with.

Have Fun !

@nivnoiman haven't run into the issue yet, but it's likely because a dialog opens when opening .aep files created older than v23.

v23 requires .aep files older than v23 to be updated/upgraded it appears

[mgreca]

@njho That is happening to me. Do you have an idea if that dialog can be closed with some settings?
