Network Rendering Works only on 1 Render Node Machine

Hello All,
I have a MacPro 2013 Trashcan and two PC's both 64 and running windows 7. Both of them have 6gb of ram.
Each of the PC's are running the CC 2014 render engines and the project effects and fonts are fine. The connection is Cat6 to router for all.
My MacPro is the main machine and I have the Shared folder on my desktop called RenderFarm and the watch folders are set to that.
Both PC's recognize the Network job and start, then after a few seconds one of them errors out and goes back to watch status. If I start it again, it kicks the other one off.
This happens also when I connect a Macbookpro instead of one of the PC's.
I have outputted in tif, jpg and png and the results are the same. Sometimes the main MacPro will error out as well.
All the machines have individual names, the project is set to use 5 machines and the skip existing files is checked.
In the log after one of the machines errors out it says sometjing like "After Effects error: the file exists but is unable to be read ( 3 :: 0 )
I cannot, for the life of me see where I am going wrong. The router is my Motorola SBG6580, could that be the issue? that files are not being delivered quickly enough? but if I create a project thats 10mins long and just a red solid, it fails also.
Or perhaps that my shared folder is on the main MacPro?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance, oh and dont buy a MacPro2013, after 9 months mine went up in smoke and flames, literally...

Hey Vinay,
All the versions are up to date after a fresh install of Windows on Both PC's on Monday therfore a fresh creative cloud and a new install on a brand new Mac Pro Trash can, please see the screen shots of each machine.
Can you suggest anything else?

  • Set up After Effects CS 6 for network rendering with only a single license.

    I have searched on and off a couple of days to find specific setup instructions for submitting projects to network rendering but all I can find refers to somehow installing AE on several machines in a non-license mode and, essentially, submitting a "batch" type job that get distributed, sync'd and collected. OK, I get this. But I find nothing on the details of installing on several machines.
    So assuming I understand things to this point, the question is really how do you install multiple AE6 copies to systems with only a single license? I have a single license key with a CS 6 Premium Suite and would expect that I wouldn't be able to get past Activation after installing or am afraid of trying lest Adobe think I'm attempting to circumvent licensing.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    > am afraid of trying lest Adobe think I'm attempting to circumvent licensing
    Have no fear. Just do it. There's no risk to trying to install software on as many machines as you like. Even in the cases in which you only have a license to use our software on two machines, the worst thing that happens is that you are told to deactivate on one computer before activating on another.

    my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
    Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
    In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express.

  • WiFi MiniPCI card works only in "Safemode with network"

    The MiniPCI card AR5001Xplus works only in "Safemode with network" (windowsXP-home-SP2 and all recent updates).
    In "normal" mode it freezes my notebook after a few seconds.

    Hello
    Why you dont give us more information about your problem? Who knows which unit you have? Is the card original part or did you built in later?
    At the moment I can just recommend you to reinstall the unit with recovery media. If the problem persists try to install the card separately with right driver. Other way you must change the WiFi card or test it with other one.
    Give us more info.

  • EM DB console works only from one node?

    In my 2 node RAC the enterprise manager database console works only from one node i.e the url shows login page only from one node.
    http://NODE2:5500/em------>WORKS, SHOWS LOGIN PAGE AND CAN MANAGE ALL INSTANCES FROM HERE
    http://NODE1:5500/em------>DOES NOT WORK, DOES NOT SHOW THE LOGIN PAGE.
    Please clarify.
    Kadhim

    I have to guess ... (because you tell neither OS nor database version). Assuming it's 10gR2 or higher, that's expected behaviour, dbconsole runs on one node only, the so-called master node. You can change that, see the documentation or this metalink note:

  • CS6 AFX Network Render Node - Can't enable non-royalty bearing mode.

    I have found many many threads saying to place this text file in these locations:
    To enable non-royalty bearing mode: Place a blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt into one of the following locations, depending on the user account type:
    Install After Effects on the render-only machine.
    Place a blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt into one of the following locations, depending on the user account type:
    Mac locations:/Users/<username>/Documents//Users/Shared/Adobe/
    Windows locations:C:\Users\<username>\DocumentsC:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe
    But, it's not working for me. I try to open AE render engine and it just tells me my trial is up. I've dropped that text file in just about every file you can imagine, even ones that probably don't need it.
    What am I missing?

    >> Interesting. Just yesterday I updated Bridge on a Render Engine machine without causing a problem, but this is worth pursuing.
    >>> I don't believe that it was the update that caused the problem, it didn't work prior to the update either. I updated and restarted per a recommendation I saw on a forum, in case this was a problem that was resolved with an update.
    I also started dropping the ae_render.txt file in the appdata>roaming>adobe files, no luck! I've restarted the computer, and tried using the cntrl+alt+shift open trick. I get nothin.
    >> Hmmm... I'll have to check with engineering, but it's possible the Render Engine mode doesn't read or write preferences. It has no need of them. So unless you'd have launched the full UI of AE at some point, the 12.0 folder might not exist. In any case, probably not worth pursuing for this problem, it was just one of the normal troubleshooting tricks.
    >>> The 11.0 folder also was not replaced, because I can't get past the trial expiration screen.
    >> If you uninstall and reinstall AE, does the problem continue?
    >>> I was hoping to resolve without having to do that -- but I'll give it a go.
    I'm getting the feeling that since I didn't put the .txt file in the proper location prior to my trial expiring, the software never even gets to the point that it can check for it.

  • Just upgraded my workstation and render nodes to AE CC 2014 and now I receive a "render control file not valid" upon rendering out.

    I just upgraded my workstation and render farm to AE CC 2014 and now I receive a "render control file not valid" on my render nodes when I try and render out an image sequence. Any ideas why the update would cause this? All my machines are updated to the latest version of AE CC 2014. Thanks!

    Sorry I meant "Update". I was using AE CC, Installed AE CC 2014 on all my machines recently.

  • Setting up network rendering in After Effects CC

    Hi there,
    I finally have some free time on my hand and I´d like to use it to optimize our workflow.
    We are a very small post-production shop and do a lot of projects parallel.
    So one Issue obviously is, when I need my workstation to work but also need to render comps in AE.
    We have a small farm setup for our 3DS Max renderings and now I´m trying to use it for after effects aswell.
    We have all our files on a server, which all render nodes can access.
    The only way so far I found to get things working:
    1. Install After effects on the render nodes.
    2. Place the "render only" text file.
    3. Copy all necessary plugins.
    4. Setup a watch folder.
    5. Open AE project to render on my workstation.
    6. Add comp to render queue, using "multi machine" settings, define output format and path.
    The next part is the one I don´t like...:
    7. Collect files using "Enable watchfolder render".
    8. Wait til After effects copies gigabytes and gigabytes of footage files from a folder on our server to ANOTHER folder on the SAME server...
    Why?
    Why can´t I just leave the footage files sitting comfortably where they are accessible by all render nodes and instead have to collect them into another place?
    There MUST be a way to avoid this, even if googling didn´t get me any answers so far...right?
    And how can I automatically open the rendered sequence 8after its finished of course) in Adobe Media encoder and export it to the final movie format?

    ok,
    sometimes checking your submenus can be really helpful..
    For anyone wondering the same: in the "collect files" dialog there is a dropdown menu called "Collect source files". If you choose "None (Project Only)" it only saves the project to the watchfolder, so if all render nodes can access the source files on the server they will do exactly that and there is no need to copy huge amounts of render files anymore...

  • Render node and Serial Numbers

    I want to setup an Xserve as a render node with compressor. Do I need a whole new serial number for that or what is the deal?

    Not if you just want to have it as part of a distributed processing network. You won't be able to send a project directly from FCP. You will have to fully render your sequences and make reference movies out of them, and then use that to send to Compressor. But the only thing you have to install for that is the Qmaster node. It is on the installation disk for FCS. You can put it on as many computers as you want, with no license, but you will always need a cluster controller, which is the machine that has Compressor (FC Studio) on it.

  • Why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end.  Constant

    why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end.  Constant rendering means its almost impossible to edit anything. Please help.

    H TheGamer
    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? It will not influence my answer but will give me information in case I need to get into version specifics to detail my answer further.
    Timeline rendering is a preview matter. It does not fix anything, but it is your window of opportunity to catch of problem sooner than latter. If the Timeline rendering indicator displays orange (11 or higher) for the line above the Timeline content, that is the project telling you that you are not getting the best possible preview of the playback of that content in the Edit area monitor. And, every time you edit a file, you have altered the file from the time before. So, if you want to see the best possible for what you now have, you Timeline render. This is particularly helpful when you are dealing with titles, effects, transitions, and non native formats. You cannot turn off the Timeline render indicator system, at least none that I have ever found nor seen reported. You can do selective Timeline rendering by having the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span only the Timeline segment that you want Timeline rendered.
    Consequently, you either ignore the Timeline render indicator system, move on in the project, and take your chances in the outcome or you Timeline render to get your best possible preview if the Timeline render indicator is suggesting that you do so.
    I am not approving or disapproving of this project feature, just commenting on the what is.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to have your voice heard at Adobe, you might consider filing an Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Please consider.
    ATR
    Add On...it is also possible to do Timeline rendering in a project, save close the project, and reopen it to find your previously "green" lined content now "orange", indicating unrendered. Yet the preview files generated originally by Timeline rendering are still existing in their hard drive save location. That is another story for other time.

  • Is network rendering really faster overall?

    I'm just getting into network rendering. I've setup 4 machines as the farm. All is well and the image sequence is being processed pretty quickly. However, after rendering out several thousand static PSD frames, I realized I still had to go through the process of converting them to a movie. Importing them into Adobe Media Encoder was relatively easy, but it still took a long time to encode the final output as video. When you factor in the additional step of encoding the movie, I'd estimate a very small amount of time saving through network rendering.
    What am I missing? How is this really faster in the end? I'd love to be enlightened. Is there a simple (and much faster way) to go from composition to final h.264 video through network rendering?
    Thanks!

    Run a test yourself...
    Set your three machines to render a PSD sequence, the once it's done use AME on one of them to make an h264.
    On the other machine send your composition to AME and render an h264.
    In my experience the more computers doing the heavy lifting (ie working out your AE file) the better. Once the image sequence is done the easy bit to process is getting it out into another format.

  • I recently upgraded my iMac to 10.9.2 Nothing but problems since. Cannot connect reliably to a mixed pc/mac network at work, hangs at start up, hangs at shut down. Please help!

    Can anyone offer suggestions as to why since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2 I can no longer access a mixed pc/mac network? Previous to the upgrade, I did not have any problems. Other macs within my office can still access it, so I know it is not a network based issue. It exists in my machine only, and the other matching machine that exists in the office did NOT do the upgrade and has no problems. (Bummer for me)
    I have:
    Reset the PRAM
    Reset the SMC
    Turned off the network Wifi and rebooted, then turned it on again, still ridicously slow when I try and connect to shared pc server. I can connect to other macs though.
    Seems to alternate between a normal start up time, and a ridicously slow start up time with no apparent connecting reason as to why
    I have a shared HP Laser printer on the network that is working with other computers accessing it, perhaps this is the conflict? It is in Wifi mode, but the software is loaded on my computer. However, prior to the upgrade, I had no problems.
    My mail crashed shortly after installing 10.9.2, but I did finally get that up and running, but sometimes it loads and tells me that there is "No Mailbox Selected" in the initial opening Mail window. This is new, it never used to do that. I can select "Inbox" and see my mail, but I never used to need this step.
    When I try and access the shared network that has always worked previously, it now will not load the shared docs and folders, just sits there, and hangs. Sometimes it will load the folders after about 5 minutes, but will not allow me to open them.
    I do not run any virus protection software.
    Any ideas? I would be infinitely grateful for suggestions.

    Your download or install of the update may have been corrupt. Visit the Mac App Store and re-download the update or visit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726 and download the 10.9.2 update combo and re-install.
    If that fails to solve the problem please post back and post a EtreCheck Report which you can locate at:
