Hello!
I use After Effects CC 2018 (with aerender.exe) on Windows 10.
Because aerender only uses a small amount of my available CPU resources, I would like to start several instances and render simultaneously.
To start several instances at once, I wrote a little helper script (node.js).
If I open up cmd and start my script like that, it works perfectly.
The big problem is:
I want to run the script in the background with Windows Task Scheduler.
It runs the script in the background with no visible cmd window.
But unfortunately, i always get this error:
aerender version 15.1.2x69
aerender version 15.1.2x69
aerender version 15.1.2x69

In this case, I try to run 3 instances.
It tells me to try to use areender without the -reuse flag, but I haven't used it anyway, so I don't know what the problem is.
Only one of the instances works and renders, but the other two don't work.
It's not a problem only with Windows task scheduler, but with every program which lets the
If I run aerender one by one, it works (but of course it takes more time)
