Cannot answer for Chris, but we for instance use this : https://www.videocopilot.net/products/opticalflares/
Would love to see the equivelant in Nuke. Best Regards Jimmy Christensen Developer Ghost A/S On 28/07/12 09:03, Ron Ganbar wrote:
Out if interest, Chris, what are you using AE for?

I wrote this function last year for a standalone render script. I decided to use subprocess.call instead of popen (call is a just a convenience function for popen). Perhaps it doesn't exactly fit your needs and perhaps it is not as nifty as it could be but it should give you some more ideas for tinkering ;) It looks after a given comp if you dont give a comp-name it trys to render the render qeueu as it is saved in your ae file and it creates output directorys especially if youe render a file sequence (set "seq=0" if you render to a single videofile like .mov) RM and OM are the rendermodule and outputmodule as you named them in in AE. dont forget to import subprocess and os... def AErender_this(project=None, comp=None, output=None, start=None, stop=None, RM='Optimale Einstellungen', OM='seq_jpg', seq=1, mp=1): # AErender_this v1.2.bmw_m 29.06.2011 AEexec = 'C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe After Effects CS5.5\\Support Files\\aerender.exe' sequence='_[#####]' if not project and not comp: print('! no project-file defined - displaying version only') param = [AEexec, '-version'] elif project and not comp: print('! rendering project queue') param = [AEexec, '-project', project] elif project and comp: print('! rendering composition: ' + comp) if not seq: output = output + '/' + comp else: print('! sequence mode - looking for output dir') output = os.path.normpath( output + '/' + comp ) if not os.path.isdir(output): print('! not found - creating directory: '+output) os.mkdir(output) else: print('! success: '+output) output = output + '/' + comp + sequence param = [AEexec, '-project', project, '-comp', comp, '-s', str(start), '-e', str(stop), '-output', output, '-RStemplate', RM, '-OMtemplate', OM] if mp: param.append('-mp') p = subprocess.call(param, shell=True) #print(p) return(p) The behaviour of the aerender.exe is a bit strange, "shell=True" is a must, even if the python documentation recommends you to set it to false. In an OS X environment you have to pack all your arguments including spaces into one single argument for subprocess, if you try to do it with a list, aerender won't recognize your arguments, it just returns strange exitcodes that are not documented (of course they are not - it's adobe ;) ) hope that helps - have a nice weekend instead of tinkering too much, fabian Am 27.07.2012 19:57, schrieb tw1sted1981:I have a write node that I am feeding into AfterEffects and then reading the contents back into Nuke. I have the command line for AE all figured out and I have been looking online here at some examples using ffmpeg but I just cant seem to get my code to work in the script editor I am using a PC and this is the command line I would want to execute C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5.5\Support Files\aerender -project C:\afterFX\AE_file.aep -comp "rendercomp" -s 1 -e 50 This is the post I was trying to adjust to make work for my intents but no luck http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6777&highlight=execute+command Can anyone make any suggestions, I think I am mostly having trouble knowing what should be in quotes and what shouldnt be. I was also wondering if whenrunning these kinds of scripts in the script editor if you see the program load up, even with the ffmpeg code I just get a '# Result:' I will tinker more during the weekend but I am sure someone can point me in the right direction Smile As always thanks in advance -Chris _______________________________________________ Nuke-python mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>,http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python_______________________________________________ Nuke-python mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python _______________________________________________ Nuke-python mailing list [email protected], http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python
