to fast for aerender
Hi all, happy friday! I have a quick question!
I have a script that makes changes to the project, saves the project sets a renderqueue item with a specific name and renders in the background using aerender… this process is repeated up to five times automatically by the script using a different name for the render output. The problem I am having is that the script works so fast that by the time it saves the project again the second time and on… terminal is still launching aerender and by the time it runs the project file has already been saved for the second time with new changes… so unless I use a $.sleep(10000) between each render, I might get an error of file already exist.
Is there a script that will tell after effects not to keep rendering until terminal started running and the first saved project is running?
Or would be better to write a script that will create a temp folder, and save the project with increment and after done with all, delete them?
Any recommendations will be appreciated.
thanks!
Fabio

This is what Adobe Media Encoder does when you drag-n-drop a composition to AME’s render queue – saves a version .aep in a temp sub-folder next to the current/last opened .aep version.
