Help with Submission

[andrewrakestraw]

Hi,

I'm very interested in trying this out. I'm more artist than engineer and I cannot figure out how to submit Davinci to deadline. I have your files in the right place and deadline monitor shows that this is a plugin it can use. I'm stuck at trying to now submit a job. Any insight is much appreciated.

Cheers

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

unfortunately there is no submission gui (yet). You have to submit manually either with the command line tool or using the python API.

@asztalosdani - could you paste an example manual submission? Running into a few issues that are hard to isolate if they are incorrect API usage or incorrect configuration/installation.

Having issues getting this to work, Could you post an example job_info.job file along with an example command please?
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

1. I've moved the DaVinciResolve folder in to our custom\plugins folder

2. I've created a job_info.job file with the following info:
   Plugin=DaVinciResolve
   ProjectName=renderTest-deadline-resolve
   OutputPath=

3. I'm running the following:
   deadlinecommand.exe C:\Users<username>\dev\job_info.job

4. I'm getting the following error:
   Deadline Command 10.1 [v10.1.9.2 Release (3d6a64d94)]
   Error: could not find job info file: Plugin=DaVinciResolve (Deadline.Submission.DeadlineSubmissionException)

I just updated the README with the examples.

@jgazlyEng you are getting the error, because you passed only one file to the deadlinecommand.exe so it treats it as a batch submission. You have to create two files, job_info.txt and plugin_info.txt, and pass them both as arguments. See the example section of the README

This is exactly what we were missing, thank you!!

Thank you for this example!
I am able to launch a job to deadline, but it does not appear to do anything and marks as completed in deadline immediately.

Is there any settings in Resolve that I need to have setup to capture the job?

Thanks again!

[asztalosdani]

Can you please attach a log from deadline?
What version of Resolve/Deadline are you running?

When the slave picks up the job can you see it running in the task manager?

[jgazlyEng]

I don't see resolve or fusion running in the task manager.
Versions:
Deadline - 10.1.9.2
Resolve - 16.2.1.017
Log:

Try running "C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Resolve.exe" -nogui, and check in the task manager if it starts. You have to close it then from here too.
Then run "C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\fuscript.exe" -l py2 -x "print 'it works'" and see if it works.
