Error: Couldn't find a result file: result.mp4 #989

Open dominicosavio opened 1 month ago

dominicosavio commented 1 month ago

I am very new to nexrender, and I got this error. I have searched the net but couldn't find any answer regarding to this error.

Error: Command failed: nexrender-cli --file temp_config_v1.json > job rendering failed Error: Couldn't find a result file: /var/folders/d8/yzcvyzzj127gtxvyss32gt7sn3vxlg/T/nexrender/GB7JVXnv3MvfyJ2zCB6s4/result.mp4 at ChildProcess.

Can you provide the full output from the cli, it looks like the render failed at some point (hence no mp4) but without seeing the output we'd not know why

Here it is:

Having the same issue on Macos 14.4.1, however, my issue is with nexrender-worker-macos but I assume it's the same underlying logic.

AE Version 24.4.1

I have read all previous threads pertaining to "Couldn't find a result file" and didn't find any solutions that worked.

I have tested the following on both 1.50.8 (latest) and 1.43.3 (randomly chosen older version):

Opening the .aep manually works without issue. Running aerender manually works without issue, even the full command to render a file, which it successfully completes.

The .log files are always empty for some reason.

Attached is tmp folder, please advise.

Yes I have tried, I believe it should be visible in the provided aep

@inlife Still having this issue unfortunately, no further progress. Please advise what you would need to help debug. Sonoma 14.5 on Apple Silicon.

The aerender.log is empty unfortunately.

Could you try enabling debug: true, that hopefully should get more values out for the logs

And if you launch the aerender with this command, will it render?

@inlife Yes, I just tried it a few seconds before your post. Running the command manually works:

@inlife Here is the log from your command: AE 2024-06-05 22-00-18 CEST.txt

Could you also make a screenshot of a folder of a failed run with nexrender? (a fresh run is needed)

Could you please try one more thing: running nexrender worker with sudo I don't seem to be able to figure out what could be going wrong except possibly permissions

SynchronDEV commented 3 weeks ago

@inlife Still the same with server + worker as sudo, and running addJob via node as sudo:

nexrender is changing the default aerender log path to the project folder.
This is done to streamline the log management and enable efficient log cleanup.

If you want to keep the old behavior and mute this message, please set the environment variable NEXRENDER_ENABLE_AELOG_LEGACY_TEMP_FOLDER to true.
If you want to switch to the new behavior, please set the environment variable NEXRENDER_ENABLE_AELOG_PROJECT_FOLDER to true.

Right now, the old behavior is still the default, but this will change in the next minor releases.
Estimated date of change to the new behavior: 2023-06-01.

inlife commented 3 weeks ago

I see. Feels like some internal trigger/block that happens inside of aerender. I will try updating to the latest version of AE and reproducing this. They might've changed something on a lower level which is hard to fiddle out without proper hands on debugging.

In the meantime, my suggestion would be to try installing an older version in parallel to your existing and attempting to render with that.

SynchronDEV commented 3 weeks ago

@inlife Which version would you recommend? I tried 24.2.1 and still not working.

inlife commented 3 weeks ago

Maybe any version from 23.* could work

SynchronDEV commented 3 weeks ago

@inlife Can confirm 23.6.6 successfully works.

Running 2024: nexrender-worker-macos --skip-cleanup --debug --binary=/Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ 2024/aerender Produces an error like previously in the thread

Running 2023: nexrender-worker-macos --skip-cleanup --debug --binary=/Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ 2023/aerender Successfully renders

Any clue what could be causing this?

inlife commented 3 weeks ago

Again, my only theory it's somehow related to some changes within AE made by Adobe. Hard to figure out what exactly could be causing this since there are no even logs
