Re: [AE] Network rendering Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

I’ve got a few different ideas now which I just need to try out.

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?
