Render Queue to Adobe Media Encoder failed job retry and output filename handling
0 reputation · 09 Sept 2021, 10:02 UTC
After Effects Render Queue can offload compositions to Adobe Media Encoder for background rendering. The workflow is documented, but the handling of a failed job and subsequent re-queue is unclear.
The precise goal is to understand the documented behavior for retrying a failed Render Queue job sent to Adobe Media Encoder, specifically whether re-queuing is intended to create a new output file to avoid overwriting, and whether any setting controls overwrite versus duplicate creation. Behavior may vary between releases and operating systems, and the retry and overwrite details are not clearly documented for AE 2024 and earlier.
Questions:
- Is there a documented option or setting that controls automatic retry of a failed Render Queue job sent to Adobe Media Encoder?
- When the same composition is re-queued after a failure, what is the documented filename handling to avoid overwriting the previous output?
- Is the retry and filename behavior consistent across AE 2024 and earlier releases on Windows and macOS?
