Network rendering with watch folders and render engines
You can render one or more compositions from a project using multiple computers over a network in a fraction of the
time that a single computer would require. Network rendering involves copying the project and source files to a
networked folder, and then rendering the project. (A network of computers used together to render a single
composition is sometimes called a render farm.) You can set this up to work with render-only versions of After Effects
called render engines.
You install render engines in the same manner as the full version of the application. You run the render engine using
the Adobe After Effects Render Engine shortcut in the Adobe After Effects CC folder. (See
Setup and installation .)
After Effects CS5.5 had to be serialized on render-only machines (e.g., in a render farm) due to licensing issues. In After
Effects CS6 and later, you can now run aerender or use Watch Folder in a non-royalty bearing mode, so serialization
not required.
To enable non-royalty bearing mode, place a blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt into one of the following
locations, depending on the user account type:??
1 Install After Effects on the render-only machine.
2 Place a blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt into one of the following locations, depending on the user
account type:
• Mac locations:
/Users/<username>/Documents/
/Users/Shared/Adobe/
• Windows locations:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe
You cannot use a watch folder and multiple render engines to simultaneously render a single movie file. However, you
can use multiple render engines to render a movie as a sequence of still-image files. You can then use a post-render
action to create a single movie file from that still-image sequence. (See
Post-render actions.)
When you have multiple render engines on multiple computers monitoring a watch folder, they cooperate to achieve
optimal efficiency. If your queued render items are set to Skip Existing Files (a Render Settings option), the render
engines all work on a single render item at once—no render engine renders any frame another render engine has
already worked on. If this option is not selected, each render engine handles a render item itself.
Rhys Enniks provides a video tutorial on his website that demonstrates the use of multiple computers on a network to
render a composition with a watch folder.
