for multimachine rendering, you can do some trick to do.. You just render it to image sequence in some duration, let say you want to render it to 0 frames to 100 frames. Then you save it as render_100frames. Then you create new file again to render 101 frames to 200 frames, save it as render_200frames.
At first, you start the 1st PC, run the file render_100frames. Then, take 2nd PC. Select file render_200frames. Finally you able to render by using 2 PCs, make sure both of your computer are connected in network.
Thanks.
You are actually better off using the “Skip existing frames” feature and then you can launch as many bg renders are your machine can handle.
is there any script in after effect that can render multi machine. like it use all the system in networking for rendering. fusion has this option inbuilt but dont know for after effect
What a time saver! This will allow me to enhance productivity. Thanks.

hay its great…. thanks..
Hello, this looks like a very useful script. However, when I try to run it it objects to the fact that I don’t have AE installed into the default C:/ drive. Any way around this?
Sorry, no 6.5 version
Hey Lloyd, Do you have a background render script for AE 6.5. Unfortunately, I only have version 6.5. Thanks, Marsh
Ps – I tried the V.7 script and I also got the line 29 error. I will have to run it again to see what the comment was. I forget that part.
thanks
Lloyd you rock – thanks mate!
Kirk,
The AE7 version of the script needs to be installed in the scripts folder and is run by selecting it from the Scripts menu under the File menu.
thanks for this script – can’t see it in (Windows XP) AE7 “windows” list – have pasted the .jsx into AE7>support files>scripts (no luck) then tried pasting into AE7>support files>scripts>ScriptUI Panels (again no luck). Am I doing something wrong?
Tolbert: You need to make sure you don’t have any illegal characters such as tildes, accent, exclamation points, etc in your path or project name. If you click on the Help button you can get a more complete explanation on how to use the script.
I tried to run this but got an error message on “Line 29″.
I’m not a programmer by any means, but is there something I need to type in to fix to run on my computer? My system is Windows if that is any help.
thanks,
Tolbert
thanks
