That's encouraging, when we tried a test here, after effects wouldn't
start rendering (unlike a full install, which would start without
problems). Do you have any tips for setup that I might have missed?
I'd be curious to see what errors you're getting.
Possibly it's just something simple, like a PATH setting.
IIRC, the 'render only' install has a slightly different pathname
from the full install, eg. on a mac:
RENDER ONLY: /Applications/Adobe After Effects 6.5 RE
FULL INSTALL: /Applications/Adobe After Effects 6.5
..at least, I think that's what the 'RE' is for.
So for example, if some of your MACs have the RE install, and some have
the full install, you would need to modify the PATH setting at the top
of the submit-afterfx script to look in both directories, eg:
$ENV{PATH} .= ($G::iswindows) ? ";c:/Program Files/Adobe/After Effects 6.0/Support Files" # WIN
: ":/Applications/Adobe After Effects 6.5". # MAC (FULL)
":/Applications/Adobe After Effects 6.5 RE"; # MAC (RENDER)
..this way, when the script runs on any machine, it will first try
to use the full install version, then falls back to the render only
directory if the full install isn't found.
