aerender: How to change log location?
Hello guys,
i am having a bit of a scripting problem here. When rendering with aerender in the background using the terminal, i want to send all log files to a specified location. However, using -log flag together with a location will always result into the render failing and the terminal telling me that i should check the write permissions of the location.
Here is the Terminal command within the jsx script:
var renderexecute = system.callSystem('osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to do script ["command /Applications/Adobe\\ After\\ Effects\\ CS5.5/aerender -project /Users/macname/projects/code/RenderReportTest_2.aep -log /Users/macname/Desktop;osascript /Applications/Adobe\\ After\\ Effects\\ CS5.5/Scripts/ScriptUI\\ Panels/TerminalAntwort.scpt"]'');for some reason, even though all permissions are set correctly, aerender wont accept the new path? Is there maybe a way to change the default log file path within after effects directly to avoid having to use this flag?
Edit: Forum is not keeping slashes in my code example above. But i am pretty sure all characters are done properly because the render starts when i drop the log flag.

The temporal solution i am using now is this:
> generallog.txtit redirects the output from the aerender process to a textfile. Unfortunately, i am loosing the process indicators in the terminal (the new line for each completed frame while the renderer is active). Is there maybe a way to have both the process indication within the terminal and the output of a log to a specified location? the flag -log wont work for me for some reason. Even though i set all permissions for all folders to read&write, it still says i should check write permissions on the locations i give it via the -log flag. It just won’t let me change the log location.
