Hey Everyone,

We are looking for a way to make this script “NOT RENDER” once it has built the proxies and render queue list. Instead of tying up the local machine, we will then send the AE file to our render farm. We looked into the .jsx file but were unable to figure out how to stop the actual “Rendering” once the script is run.
thanks,
br

Hi @Javier + @catfighter,

probably you are using an after effect version which is neither english no french, therefore you have to manually show the app where your preferences file is situated.

Under Windows you will find it under:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\10.0

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\9.0

according to your after effects version.

and the file is called something like
Adobe After Effects 10.0-x64 Einstellungen.txt

Where Einstellungen = equivalent to the english word “prefs”

When running the script, the set proxy link seems to break, and in the render queue the post render action is set to link the proxy to “This Comp” which results in an error, so the script fails to render the proxies. I have to pick whip each one individually even though the “output to” dialog is set to Comp Name. (CS4)

I’ve removed this option because there is a bug in CS5 in the “set proxy to none” function. The bug has been reported to the AE team.

In this releas we have lost the “Set to none” bottom.
It was useful for me…

Thanks.

Hey just bought the create proxies. Great script, but I’m having difficulty rendering to current settings. The files are rendering to the same resolution they start at 960×540 when I use the script. When I do them myself (individually) at current they render to 320×180. How can I change rendering settings with this script?
