Animation - Argument Crash

[vstrat]

Hi

I started an animation render last night and at some time during the render Octane crashed with the following message (see below) I am unable to re render the anim without receiving the same error. I had made a backup of all associated Octane files prior to rendering the animation (this is not the first occurance of this problem) and tried using those but with the same result. I can however render a still frame which I let render to the full sample rate I have set in the animation.

I believe the only solution left to me at the moment is to set up the render again (applying materials/ lighting etc) thus creating a new .ocs file. This would be time consuming as I have a large number of Octane materials and scene objects. This is one of a number of animation we have to create in the next couple of weeks and I need to find a solution quick.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

There was an error parsing the command-line arguments:
