With a project with lots of source files, it still takes a long time just t= o get to that dialog box - guess it's checking to make sure everything's sti= ll 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 wi= thout collecting all the source files?

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