After Effects on Steroids
After Effects already has the capabilities of rendering across a network to other computers set up as Render Nodes, but the announcement by Adobe that the next version will allow grid-based rendering is very cool. I know that in my office, I’m the only one using After Effects, and there is a fair amount of extra processor cycles sitting idle on the network that would speed up my renders substantially. Of course, a new G5 with a rack full of Xserve G5s would do the trick nicely too, but I don’t think the company will swing for that.

I… can’t… wait… for this feature. I’m a sole AE user at the office, too, and I look forward to stealing some CPU cycles to make my life a little easier. Any pointers on how to use the current rendering abilities across a network? I haven’t given it much though unti I read your blog.
