Network considerations
When working with multiple render engines on multiple computers, keep in mind the following guidelines:
• When possible, identify folders using absolute file paths so that the paths are correctly identified for all render
engines. Identifying folders using absolute file paths may mean mapping network drives to a particular drive letter
on all computers (for example, H:\renders\watch\). Avoid using relative paths (for example, \\renders\watch).
• Each Macintosh computer monitoring the watch folder must have a unique name. Because the default names of
computers are often identical, you should rename your computers to not use the default name.
• Make sure that all servers and clients (computers monitoring the watch folder) have hard drives with unique names.
• Do not use the same computer to serve a watch folder and to run After Effects in Watch Folder mode. Use a
dedicated server that’s accessible to all render engines to serve your watch folder.
• Do not render to or initiate Watch Folder mode on the root of a volume or a shared folder that appears as the root
when viewed from another computer. Specify a subfolder instead. Also, avoid using high-ASCII or other extended
characters and slashes in filenames. For multiple-computer rendering, After Effects includes the Multi-Machine
sample template that you can use as a starting point.
When rendering across a network that includes volumes using different network or operating systems, such as Windows,
Mac OS, Novell, and UNIX, make sure that you specify output files using a file-naming convention that’s compatible
with all rendering or destination volumes.
Project considerations
Make sure that you install all fonts, effects, and encoders (compressors) used in the project on all computers monitoring
the watch folder. If a computer monitoring the watch folder can’t find fonts, effects, or encoders used in a project, the
render fails.
When you install an After Effects render engine on a computer, it contains all the plug-ins included with After Effects.
If a composition uses a plug-in from another manufacturer, the plug-in must be present on all computers that will
render the composition. However, support for network rendering varies among plug-in manufacturers. Before you set
up a network to render effects created by third-party plug-ins, see the documentation for your plug-ins or contact the
plug-in manufacturers and get answers to the following questions:
• Does the license agreement for the plug-in allow installing multiple copies on a network for the purposes of
rendering?
• Are there any other limitations or tips that apply to using the plug-in for network rendering?
Collect Files folder considerations
When you use the File > Collect Files command, files relevant to a project are copied to a single folder. This folder
includes a copy of the project file, a render control file (RCF), and other files, depending on the options you choose in
the Collect Files dialog box. If you save the Collect Files folder to a networked computer other than a server, don’t run
a render engine on that computer. Avoid saving the Collect Files folder to a local disk, the root level of a disk (such as
C: in Windows or the Macintosh HD in Mac OS), or a shared folder, all of which can signify different locations to each
render engine. All render engines must interpret the path in the same way.
Once the collected files appear in the watch folder, all monitoring render engines start rendering automatically. If you
prefer, you can use the Collect Files command to store compositions and their source footage to a specified location and
then initiate the watch-folder rendering process later. Doing so renders the projects in alphabetical order, rather than the
order in which they were saved to the location.
