Describe the bug
Job gets stuck on "rendering.." message and does not show any % progress. I see that the mp4 file is begin created in the temp folder (named result.mp4) but it is not being encoded nor copied at specified destination.

My Nexrender script part for post render action:

"actions" : {
"postrender" : [
{
"module": "@nexrender/action-encode",
"output": "encoded.mp4",
"preset": "mp4",
"params": {"-vcodec": "libx264", "-r": 25}
},
{
"module" : "@nexrender/action-copy",
"input" : "encoded.mp4",
"output" : "C:\result.mp4"
}
]
}

Hey

Could you share your after effects rendering log?

I am not sure if this is the correct log file as it contains little information. Here is my screen grab:

nexrender usually says the path of the ae render log file when rendering is happening
try to look in these folders:

  • C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\nexrender\
  • C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\nexrender\XWoC9-TIlhAWClzPG1SRd\
commented

Yes I looked into that folder. There is file called AE 12-20-2023 8-27-49 AM.txt inside
C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\nexrender\XWoC9-TIlhAWClzPG1SRd\AEProject.aep Logs folder.
I didn't find anything else.

Even during rendering there was no ".log" file in the temp folder.

Here is the content of nexrender folder:

Hello, have you resolved the above issue? In my case, it can render normally, but the code "result.on('progress', (job, percents) => console.log('project is at: ' + percents + '%'))" will only be executed after the rendering is finished, and finally display 100%.

commented

I believe this issue is related to the language used within after effects rendering logs. I have a theory they might've changed the logs language from always English to local languages, as seen in this issue: #945

commented

It is like this. I tried switching to English, and it was successfully executed. It seems that I have not fully understood this great project yet. Thank you for your response.

commented

Could you share which language you had before, and how the after-effects rendering log looked like before?

commented

I want to understand what potential modifications need to be made to support other languages out of the box

commented

I previously used Chinese. In the workpath, the Chinese parts in logs like "aerender-XXX.log" are garbled.
