Batch processing with AE on mac

Jun 13, 2012 8:26 PM

Hello everyone,

I m trying to batch process some files before rendering.

my purpose is to get some top directories, and make a movie file for all subdirectories in this directory.

I want to do as batch, which mean without getting AE UI started.

It works with windows and the -r  flag for the script and the -noui for not using the user interface.

 

But for a codec problem, I have to do it on Mac (ProRes encoding).

 

I bumbed into many problems that chains each other.

The first problem is that the UI is starting.

Then when the UI is starting and I try to render some already existing files, then a error message like "cannot write file" popup randomly... stopping everything.

I tried many things like suppressing dialogs, overiding error processing:

app.beginSuppressDialogs();

app.onError = err;

 

This works... until a certain point. If the file I want to write is open, then the error message still is appearing....

Does anyone have any ideas of how i could circumvent those problems?
