Subject: After Effects 7 not following command-line command
   Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2007 13:14:37 -0500

So far this is isolated to a single computer.  I have yet to try the usual 
troubleshooting steps of re-installing Rush and After Effects but I thought 
I would post the log anyways.



It seems that Rush is submitting the command to render a certain frame (in 
this case frame 9) but AE is rendering the next frame (frame 10).  This 
results in Rush reporting the frame is done when actually the next frame was 
rendered; leaving frames missing from the sequence.  Any ideas?

	I'm not a great expert on AE, but this sounds familiar.

	Rush is passing '-s 9 -e 9' to aerender, so the fact AE is writing out
	frame 10 instead sounds like there's a 1 frame offset in the AEP project.

	Make sure your AEP file's 'project settings' (File -> Project Settings)
	has:

		Start numbering frames at: 0

	IIRC, if it's set to anything other than '0', AE applies that as an offset
	to the frame number embedded in the rendered frame's filenames.

	Sounds like yours is set to '1', making all the frame's rendered filenames
	offset by +1.

    Great -- in that case I'll update the Afterfx 'Issues' page
    <http://www.seriss.com/rush-current/issues-afterfx-6.5/index.html>
    to cover this, as I know this has come up before.
