    • Mac: /Applications/pfx/qube/qube.app
    • PC: C:\Program Files (x86)\pfx\qube\bin\qube.exe

    Tip
    titleUseful Settings

    While not strictly required, the following settings are useful for getting a better result. You will need to turn on "Expert Mode" (check box at the bottom of the submission UI) in order to get access to them.

    • In "Execution" choose "Chunks with n frames". This is because loading the After Effects application and file typically takes much longer than the time to generate a frame, so it is more efficient to generate several from one After Effects session.
    • Make sure the CS version (or Creative Cloud version, if used) is set to the correct version of After Effects.
    • By default, Qube! will not retry failed frames. So set the "Retry frame/instance" value to 3 or 5, to get 3 or 5 retries before it gives up. Related to that, the default wait between retries is zero seconds, which is typically not useful. Set the "Retry Work Delay" to a value like 5 or 10 to allow machines time to recover from temporary problems such as network errors.
