Hi,
This is a strange one and I'm hoping someone could shed some light. I have a script that combines multiple projects into one, and then renders them out in one go.
The issue is that when I run renderQueue.render() in the script, it will sometimes take between 10 and 15 minutes to actually start the render. While this is happening, the ram in task manager is dropping/changing etc before finally starting the render, but the CPU isn't really doing much.
I've tried all manner of things, from purging unnecessary files, to clearing the AE cache before running the render command, but nothing seems to work. In contrast, if I run the script up to that point, and then manually run the render script separately, there doesn't appear to be that delay. This MAY be only happening on projects that have missing images or fonts, but it's such a cumbersome thing to debug I can't say for sure.
Can anyone tell me what's going on here?
Cheers
Lachlan
