I have a similar workflow, create/ render to 16bit .png sequence project on a windows machine. import .png folder to after effects on a Mac mini, (both machines on a gig Ethernet network) output to prores4444.

Teddy,

Thanks.  So what is the workflow then for this?  So, I get a mini mac (not sure what that is but will research) and then I presume you copy all your files to a USB drive from PC, plug in to mini mac and then?  What are you using then for the conversion on the Mac?

Thanks,
Eric

Is there an application out there that people have had better luck with?

Thanks,
