This script takes whatever items are queued and ready in the render queue and sends them to render in the background allowing you to keep working in After Effects. This script only works with After Effects 7.

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?
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.

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.

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?
thanks
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
