Hey

Could you share your after effects rendering log?

I am not sure if this is the correct log file as it contains little information. Here is my screen grab:

nexrender usually says the path of the ae render log file when rendering is happening try to look in these folders:

• C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\nexrender\
• C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\nexrender\XWoC9-TIlhAWClzPG1SRd\

[solanki21]

Yes I looked into that folder. There is file called AE 12-20-2023 8-27-49 AM.txt inside C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\nexrender\XWoC9-TIlhAWClzPG1SRd\AEProject.aep Logs folder. I didn't find anything else.

Even during rendering there was no ".log" file in the temp folder.

Here is the content of nexrender folder:

Hello, have you resolved the above issue? In my case, it can render normally, but the code "result.on('progress', (job, percents) => console.log('project is at: ' + percents + '%'))" will only be executed after the rendering is finished, and finally display 100%.

[inlife]

I believe this issue is related to the language used within after effects rendering logs. I have a theory they might've changed the logs language from always English to local languages, as seen in this issue: https://github.com/inlife/nexrender/issues/945

[huangmengasd]

It is like this. I tried switching to English, and it was successfully executed. It seems that I have not fully understood this great project yet. Thank you for your response.

[inlife]

Could you share which language you had before, and how the after-effects rendering log looked like before?

[inlife]

I want to understand what potential modifications need to be made to support other languages out of the box

[huangmengasd]

I previously used Chinese. In the workpath, the Chinese parts in logs like "aerender-XXX.log" are garbled.
