Render garden can’t do it – I think people are quite confused as to what it actually is and what it actually does. It can’t make AE render faster, just make kicking off multiple renders easier to manage. Those renders still run at the speed that version of AE runs.

 

Rendergarden does support AE2014 but if you go back in AELIST archives and look at my back and forth with them when the product was announced, it does not really gain anything except ease of management there either.


Multi-threading AE would have huge speed benefit for every aspect of AE – including making Rendergarden faster.

 

Rendergarden is a workaround for the current problem that AE can’t max out of machine right now but does not address this actual problem at all in any form or fashion and you can do the same thing some command line or other AE engine renders.

Um . . . I don’t get it. If RenderGarden can do it – and I’m a devoted fan – why can’t Adobe? So perhaps it’s not integrated as well as one might like, but you don’t have to leave AE to use it and the result is seamless. It runs in the background, uses as many cores as you like, can work across machines, and can save huge amounts of time.

 

What am I missing?

Part of the rationale for going to a subscription model was that it would loosen the rules publicly traded companies need to adhere to.  You can’t use that excuse any more, Adobe.

 

Break plugins?  We can run a previous version in parallel, no?  Sure multi-threaded is tough, but I’d venture that 32-to-64 bit was tougher.  I’d gladly wait 2 yrs w/out new features if we knew major core updates were coming.
