Adding Multiple Comps to Queue Wont Render Until Each Save Path is Clicked

[Tim5EF1]

Trying to render a group of comps at the same time. Selecting multiple and using Composition>Add to Render Queue then Render fails with "directory originally specified no longer exists". If I click the Output To name and hit enter or click save (without actually changing anyting) for each comp in the queue, it will render them all.

Not sure if you solved your problem or not. Also you may want to try sending to Media Encoder.

To set a new location for multiple items in the Render Queue, click on the Output Module of the first item (click directly on the text “Output Module”) then shift-click on the Output Module of the last time and then set the Output To location for any one of the selected items.

Thanks. I dont want to set a new location though. The default path set when adding comps to the queue wont render. You need to clicl the output to name and either hit enter or click save.

Try adding one item, setting a valid path, and then adding more items.

Thanks. Not looking for a differet workaround, just reporting the bug.

[Warren Heaton]

That's not a workaround.  That's just how After Effects works if the file path changes.

[Tim5EF1]

Not sure you're understanding the problem.

[Warren Heaton]

Each item must have a valid file path.

Did you watch the screengrab?

Add single comp to RQ renders fine with default output path

Add multiple comps to RQ and it will fail until you click on each path and hit save (without actually changing the path).

The output path is valid either way, but there is an issue about how AE adds multiple comps to RQ.
