After selecting 'collect files' you should just be able  to select "None (project only)" in the drop down menu of the dialog box that comes up. That option only sends a copy of the .aep to the watch folder. As long as the file paths in the .aep are recognizable by the farm computers, no problem.

With a project with lots of source files, it still takes a long time just to get to that dialog box - guess it's checking to make sure everything's still there.

The problem I have is that for a particular project the source files are in the 10s of GB & copying them every time I want to submit a network job is madness.

Do I understand the process correctly? Is there a way of submitting jobs without collecting all the source files?

Does anyone use an alternative method (maybe using a commercial solution?) to network render in AE?
