Run the command line script AfterFX

Hi all

I'm trying to run a script from the command line AfterFX.exe and I get the message: "unable to run the script at line 1. Syntax error.

If I run the same Script AE editor script file, it works perfectly

Here is the command line that I use:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe after effects CS6\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" indefinite display - noui s 'D:\Product\Watermark\Rendering\WatermarkedSecuritySample.jsx '.

Someone has an idea of what may cause this error? I tried to run the script directly from the command line like

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe after effects CS6\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" indefinite display - noui s 'alert('1') '.

and it works very well for small script but mine is way big to do

As you can probably guess with the 'watermark' and 'Security' in the name of the file, I can't post here, the script file, all I can say is that line 1 is:

{

projectName = "D:\\Product\\WatermarkTemplate.aep"; var

I tried to replace the entire script 'alert('1')'; and it causes the same error when running it from the command line

Also, if anyone knows where I can find the command line arguments AfterFX.exe description, I'd be very happy... everybody talks about aerender.exe, but I need these options to AfterFX.exe

Thanks for your help

Have you tried using "-r" instead of "-s"?

("-s" argument is a script; and to "-r" argument is a path to the script)

  • How to run the command-line IDC services

    Hey guys,.
    is it possible that we can run IDC Services from the command prompt.
    all your pointers will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Sicard

    Published by: stephane on March 9, 2009 07:26

    Hey sapan,.

    You can use IdcCommand to perform the services from the command line. The procedure is the following:

    1 create a text file with service calls, you want to do, the definitions are had in format:

    LocalData @Properties
    IdcService = UPDATE_DOCINFO
    dID = 1
    dDocName = 000001
    dDocType = MyType
    dSecurityGroup = Public
    dRevLabel = 1
    dDocAuthor = sysadmin
    dDocTitle = my title
    @end
    >

    (Note: for multiple entries in the file > is very important)

    2. run IdcCommand from the directory "/ bin" of :

    IdcCommand f image_update.hda u-l c:\idccommand.log sysadmin

    Options:
    f = with service definitions
    u = user to run as
    -l (lowercase L) = location for execution log

    There is more detailed documentation in the presentation of the Idc (idc_command_reference_10en.pdf) commands.

    Hope that helps,

  • XP does not start, unable to run the command line for the clean boot

    Hello

    For the last two weeks, I've been unable to boot XP, caused by a virus, I think. I can get into safe mode, but stopped to run antivirus software because I said that I don't have the appropriate privileges. There is no system restore points available, and I think that my computer is too old for me to ask the manufacturer (HP) for an OEM drive.

    Now that I found this forum, I decided to try the suggestion of the thread stickied for a clean boot, but I can't even click on RUN and load the command prompt. I click, but nothing happens. Many programs in safe mode did the same thing for me.

    Is there another way to enter the guest so I can try to get a clean boot? Is there another way to access msconfig? I read here that I can click on F10 to try HP and XP 'factory re - install', but the HP splash screen is no longer, perhaps due to a new card mother MSI, I put a few months ago. Any help?

    If all else fails, I buy a Windows 7 Upgrade disk and which will still work? Or would I need to buy the complete installation of W7 to "clean up" my system?

    Thank you.

    Jacob S.,.
    Thanks for posting with us.  Have you tried to run MSConfig from safe mode?  If the immediate window does not work, you can right click on your taskbar and start the Task Manager.  From there, you can select file > new task > and then type msconfig in the window.

    With respect to obtaining OEM disc, you may be able to buy them from HP, but since you have replaced the motherboard and then the OEM disc probably does not work.  You should check with HP on this one.

    If you buy the upgrade to Windows 7 you can do a clean install, but it should be started from Windows.  You insert the DVD in the drive so that the desktop, and then select the custom Setup to perform a clean installation.  It will validate your XP before you start the installation.

    Now if you think that your PC has a virus (which it sounds like it might) then you can try using a free online virus scan.  You should be able to run one of them without blocking.  Also, make sure that you log on with an administrator account.  Here is a link to a scan online, that you can try, or you can search bing for others that are out there.

  • Query running Discoverer Desktop... via the command line

    Hello world

    Hope all is well,

    I learned how to operate the discoverer by using the command line.

    My question is:
    ===========
    When you connect manually in Discoverer, the values of parameters that were used last in the last series display when
    the query opens...

    When I run the command of discoverer line, I have to mention explicitly all parameter names and their values

    If I do not mention the settings, I get an error message: unresolve parameter...

    I would really like to run the command-line style WITHOUT mentioning query parameters and wish the discoverer of run
    the application with the default settings...

    Is this possible...

    Thx for your ideas and your advice, sandra

    Hello

    How parameters could be made optional in the Office?

    It can be made using desktop only, there is no functionality of optional parameters.
    If you have a single desktop, you will need to set the parameters in the command line.

  • Groovy ODI command-line script

    I've been playing with ODI 12 c groovy script for a while now and it is a very powerful tool, but did someone knows if it is possible to run the command-line groovy scripts?

    I also think that the editor groovy in ODI is very limited. There are much better alternatives like InteliJ IDEA. Has anyone tried to use an external editor to write scripts groovy for ODI and how did you do?

    You could try to use HTML/export but keep the file as .xls type. Then you open the HTML file in excel, and most of the formatting and the title will be preserved.

    However, you will not be able to use /sheet with the option HTML/Export.

  • AfterFX.exe always returns 1 on the command line

    I'm trying to script AfterFX.exe to stuff of a command line process, apparently like many people who use this interface.


    I found that AfterFX.exe (CC version at least) always returns 1 at the command prompt if the shell wait so he could get out. I would like to use error codes to indicate success or failure, but apparently, despite documentation (after effects Scripting Guide) telling me to value exitCode however, I wish... 1 is the return value. Even if exitCode is zero.

    Directly immediately AfterFX.exe running from the Shell returns so the return code is not useful. If you start with start/wait (indefinite display i.e. start/wait "dummy" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe after effects CC\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" r - c:\path\to\my.jsx - noui) then the shell does not come until the application is made. You get this same behavior without the start/wait stuff if AFx is managed via the batch file (which is how I use it). Therefore, the return code is unnecessary.


    Does this happen for others, it is in its State (i.e., run that after Effects is just a mistake, lol), or...?

    In addition,

    > start "dummy" / / wait "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe after effects CC\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" s '' alert ("Hello")'; app.exitCode = 88' - display undefined noui

    > echo %errorlevel%

    1

    The existence of display undefined-noui doesn't seem to affect the return code. The ILO "dummy" on the command line is a requirement of departure when launching applications with arguments (it's a bit esoteric, but it must be there).

    Yes, I found that you must use AfterFX.com instead of AfterFX.exe. I also remember that it is documented in the documentation of the extension Script somewhere; not really yelled that the examples all use AfterFX.com.

  • Generic applications Java runs only within Jdeveloper, not at the command line

    JDeveloper 11gR1PS1

    I created a Java program which is autonomous - to be called via Unix scripting. I just chose Generic Application and adds the scope of Java and XML technology. I also have a POT that is provided by a 3rd party to be used as an API.

    When it is run through Jdeveloper (for example to do a right-click on the java class and choose run), the program works very well.

    When run via command line after the deployment of the application as a JAR, I get the following:
    java -jar myprogram.jar
    Value : 123.. Ok
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/customer/api/Auth

    He complains about my line by calling the Auth class, which is part of the JAR provided me by the 3rd party. But he runs the successful when run in Jdeveloper.

    The JAR is included as a dependency when you deploy the project.

    Ideas?

    If you want to include the 3rd pot of party in the jar that you produce then you must go into your deployment profile and create a new type library file group, and then select the JAR file in the contributors section.

  • Analyzer of sequence running from the command line in TestStand 2010

    Hello

    I would like to be able to run and control the stand-alone command line sequence Analyzer.  I can do that in 2014 TS (and it seems that I could patch versions as soon as 2012 TS to give them this ability), as described here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B927893F26BFB64A86257ECE006E442D

    However, I work with a large existing codebase in 2010 TS (with no intention to migrate to a newer version, in the foreseeable future).  Is it possible to get the same functionality from command line in the 2010 version of the parser?

    I know that I can open the command line parser, but are the commands, I am interested in: analyze, report, / save, /clearMessagesOnSave, / minimize, / help, / / leave.

    Thank you!

    Thanks Ryan, Jigg,

    Yes, I can run the parser (and opened a project), but basically, I can't run anything.

    I realized what I do by writing a TestStand sequence that calls the parser to sequence through its API (attached).  I can then run TestStand (and call this sequence) from the command line.
