| If you've only got a few computers, can render to a network share or folder accessible to each machine, and don't mind going to an image sequence and then creating a Quicktime, AE's built-in multi-machine rendering is another option. Each machine just checks the output folder to see which images have already been rendered and then renders the next frame. If the project assets are stored on the network where each machine can see them, there's no need to collect the project. Just render to an image sequence format and check "Skip Existing Frames" in the render settings. You'd open the same project in AE on each machine with the comp queued up and just hit render. In older versions of AE having multi-processing turned on was counter-productive -- slower for some reason. Pretty rare that we have something that renders slow enough per frame to need to do this, but it's a nice option. It's kind of doing manually what render management software does automatically, but I've needed it so sporadically that it's been good enough. - Nathan On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 2:37 PM, Elliot Steele <elliot@ppdm.de> wrote:
