| I almost always use AME because I can’t stop working in AE while I’m rendering. I don’t notice much of a speed hit with AME because I seldom use MP rendering or processing because H.264 is not MP aware for rendering in the Render Cue and most of the 3rd party effects and output codecs that I use slow way down with MP enabled. In the last two weeks I’ve produced more than 1.5 hours of AE projects, all rendered through the AME. If I had stopped to render or taken the speed hit in AE by opening another instance my output would have been about half. I don’t know about your shop, but I get paid by the project, not by the hour, so the more projects that I can deliver in an hour, the bigger the check. Who knows what is coming in the future, but as CC sits now, this is the most efficient workflow for me. |
