Hi
I am trying to automate After effects to run a script which suppose to run with `noui` however when I am running the command I can see the after effects in the task manager but the script does not change anything. I looks like the AE is stuck in the background. when I am running the same script through the Extended Toolkit (GUI) the script run flawlessly.
the command "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" "C:\Users\dell\aonx\Dynamic App Promo\app_promo.aep" -noui -r "c:\\Users\\dell\\Documents\\Adobe Scripts\\change_text.jsx"
What I am doing wrong?

Does it work without the -noui parameter?
if your script does things like executing menu commands, you will need the ui (since without a UI there is no menu).

Yes, it is working without noui! But when using noui, it is running in the background, and closing in the backgroud!.No video is rendered!

hi Mathias,
it seems that it is working OK with out the GUI.
I have noticed that without the noui the AE is opening the Toolkit Fonts sync window.
are there any logs where I can find additional information?
