I just found this thread after I had created a similar one, so sorry for the redundancy.
I have a similar issue, except the expression stops working completely when disabling multiprocessing.

If I scrub on the timeline it doesn’t work.
If I ram preview with no cached frames it works.
If I render immediately after it showed up on the ram preview it doesn’t work.
If I Command-ram preview the saved movie doesn’t show the expression applied.
If I bake the expression it doesn’t work either.

Did you ever solve this issue?

audio=thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider")
if (audio>=.5)
{wiggle(5,20)}
else
{0}
;

Thanks but no, that expression relies on keyframes converted using the Convert audio to keyframes function, which is precisely what I’m trying to avoid.

Thanks anyway.

Brian thanks a lot, I still couldn’t use it, still got artifacts all over. I ended up switching to physical renderer and sent the file to a render farm, as my render times quadrupled.

Thanks anyway for taking the time to look at my file.

I’m getting the watermark at random frames only, not all of them, this happens when using RSMB, not the pro version, anyone know how to fix that? seems like a bug.

Thanks man! very much appreciated.

Wait, time for a stupid question, does an i7and an i5 could count as the same type?

[David Cabestany]

That totally sucks, my three machines are all different.
Guess I’m out of luck then.

Thanks for your help.

I am using AO too.
Here’s the scene, however the settings are different now, I switched to IR+QMC (Net Render) and I’ve been doing tests only on my machine, just now I was about to test it over the network to see how it renders when it’s really on a (crappy) farm.

So far the renders have came out fine with this new settings, although I’m stopping the updating records for diffuse depth as it adds a lot of additional time to my rendering, is that an absolute necessity of the pass or can I live without it?

Thank a lot!

Could anyone some light on why I’m still getting artifacts when I’m using IR+QMC Full animation? I literally tried all modes and I;’m getting artifacts on all of them, I’m trying a prepass just on one machine first so I can send it to net render and complete the job, but I’m stuck here.

If anyone can assist would be great, I’m on a really bad deadline and I still have 833 frames to go.
