Hey all. I've spent a good bit of this month upgrading and tweaking my computer's settings to get the most out of multiprocessing in After Effects.
I'm currently working on a project that is pretty graphically intensive and it's great to get the most out of my hardware.
I go to make a final render for my client, who is using AVID for editing, and my computer chugs along one frame at a time instead of using multiprocessing for the render. In AE I can RAM preview with full MP support, but this codec (DNxHD) and a few others I've found(like QuickTime PNG codec) seem to completely bypass multiprocessing and end up taking over an hour or more for something that should have only taken 10 minutes or less to render out.
Am I completely alone in this? Is there any way around this without spending more time on the back-end transcoding videos into the codec my client needs?
Is there some magic setting I can check to use MP on these kinds of codecs? Or am I stuck in single processor mode?

Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm currently evaluating most of the ones suggested. I will report back on what we decide to go with.

I like Studiometry. To some it may seem to be a petty problem, but of
all the ones I tried only Studiometry let me create properly styled
invoices rather than sending out something that looks like it came
from a builder's supply merchant. And that same attention to design
applies to all the other reports that it can create. Also has an ios
app that I use when out and about and syncs back to the main program.
