  MP Rendering to image sequences ends early

  Posted by Riccardo Sinti on March 19, 2015 at 8:00 pm

  AE CC 2014, OSX 10.8.3, iMac 16gb RAM
  I have 30+ comps I need to render to SGI sequences.
  With a non MP render it takes about 3mins but with MP on it takes about 1min15secs. Great!
  these are my MP settings:
  Installed RAM: 16gb
  RAM for other apps: 5gb
  Installed CPUs: 8
  CPUs reserved for other apps: 4
  RAM allocation per BKG CPU: 2gb
  Actual CPUs that will be used: 4

  Well, I tried to use BG render pro to render locally and then automatically copy to a server, but some of the sequences (1440fr) would end at random frames and move on to the next comp without any error message. This was no good so I tried rendering straight from the render que and get same results.
  Out of 32 comps 5 would end after 300frames and move on to the next.
  Any ideas why this is happening? Can adjusting my settings help? Is this a bug?
  Thanks for any insight.

  Do those five comps have 300-frame work areas [link] set?
