I have used Deadline at several places, it works great as long as you set everything up correctly. It helps having a single dedicated file server to render to on fibre channel or 10 gig ethernet.

Hey everyone,

I am in the process of implementing an AE network render setup for our office and wanted to get input from other users actively doing this. Oddly enough we really haven't had a real need for one until now.

So far I have been pointed towards:

Smedge: http://www.uberware.net/smedge/

Rush: http://seriss.com/rush/

Deadline: http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline/

The ultimate goal and process our house is dealing with will be outputting 2K-4K DPX sequences. I already know about making sure that all machines involved being uniform software wise across the board. I am more curious about real world experience with these setups. Looking for recommendations, pitfalls, etc...

Right now I am setting up our Macs only. I might add the PC's later, but would keep them isolated to prevent PC and MAC issues with variances.

At the moment we have 7 macs available for this setup. I appreciate any input, thanks.
