Is it possible to render AE via Backburner

Hi.
I have a render farm set up for rendering from 3DS Max via Backburner.  Could someone please tell me if it is possible to render AE via Backburner and if so, what I need to set up to do this.
Many thanks,
T

> I have googled render farm from AE and there seem to be various other ways, none look as straightforward as BB.  Any advice on the best route for network renedring from AE?
Many thanks,

You basically throw money at it. Rendering farms for AE have never really worked. The overhead (managing and debugging and repairing failed renders) more often outweighs the theoretical (minor) gains. For me, most rendering gains in AE are made by properly sequencing the precomps into prerendered movies.
However, I'm not using the CC version.
If you haven't found helpful suggegstions in your research, I'm guessing farms are still in the theory phase. Hope someone shows up with a better suggestion.

  • Is it possible to render the clips individually and relink- such as with Color/fcp?

    I'm fairly new to Ae/ PP, and am trying to figure out a good workflow for grading (using resolve lite) Basically, I need to denoise my footage first (neat video) and then send that footage to Resolve, then back to pp. Now, this works fine with Resolve's scene detector as it can cut up the footage, but if there are any dissolves, etc, then I need to do this via xml instead.
    What I would like to do is: Edit in PP. Send to AE to denoise, render (the denoise need to happen before grading) and replace the original files with the new denoised clips in pp. Then send the xml to Resolve. So far this would work if it wasn't for AE rendering everything into one clip, eliminating the cuts/layers.
    Is it possible to render the clips individually and relink- such as with Color/fcp? If not, any other workflow that could work for me?
    Hope someone can help- dynamic link is driving me up the wall.

    Simply use Dynamic Link to send your whole timeline to AE or use AE's Premiere project import. Then once you have a working AE project, you can use scripts like rdPreCompose to create separate sub-comps for each clip which in turn you then can render separately. Still, the limitation will always be the kind of transitions you use. Essentialyl you should avoid anything that isn't a hard cut or simple cross dissolve 'cos there's no way to recreate it in AE without eating up the handle of your footage. You'd essentialyl be shooting yourself in teh foot if you jump ahead too far in Premiere and already add too much finishing there.

  • Is it possible to render previews on one computer while working on the project on another?

    Hi!
    Even with CS5 and a cuda card I still need to render a lot since I'm using lossless image sequences as my intermediate forms.
    Would it be possible to take advantage of having multiple computers while working with Premiere? Maybe one computer could be dedicated just for preview rendering while the other one could be used for regular editing simultaneously? Is there anything on the market that does this?
    I welcome any discussion on the subject!
    Thanks!

    About the only thing you can do with Premiere is export out a sequence in the background while you continue working, then bring that back into Premiere and lay it down above the original sequence.
    Of course, if you wish to continue working on the same sequence, this won't work.
    Background rendering would be a very welcome addition to Premiere.  Hell even Encore can do that.

  • Strange audio issue when running render queue via script.

    The issue I'm having with AE is odd, and I'm hoping someone may be able to shed light on the matter.  I have a very simple composition that, when I render out using the GUI, everything works as expected.  The video renders fine, the audio renders fine, etc.  However, when I invoke a script that runs the .aep file, sets the render queue for the composition in question, and then renders it, only the video comes through, but no audio.  There is nothing in my script prior to the setting up of the render queue that alters any audio layers (i.e. no code shutting off audio, etc.)  Has anybody ever encountered this?  The audio file is a .wav in 44.1KHz, 16bit, stereo, and will try other formats to see if the problem might with the file itself?  Although, I don't see how that would be the case if it is rendering just fine via the GUI.
    Any help you can offer for troubleshooting would be great!  Thanks for your help and time!

    Thanks for your suggestion.  It wasn't the output module.  I created a custom template for it and ensured the audio was checked.  It was an odd fix.  I deleted the audio layer, then dragged it back to the timline.  Then, it worked.  Cost me like two hours of work for that, and I should have checked it earlier.  But I still don't know why the original wasn't working.

My script -- render current frame in png file(and in this stage after effect has bug and adding 00000 numbers to filename so i need find my rendered file and fix file name bug and import file back), so when i see this message my script don't work(AE render file, but filename incorrect and my script cant import it back to AE)
    PS for render current frame i create my own preset(by hands) for output module based on png sequence
    thx

    hi guys, i figured out , the problem in my script render part, first i have code to save current frame by
    myProj.renderQueue.item(1).outputModule(1).file = File(DesktopPath+"\\temp\\"+"_"+myLayerName); and this give me error, so i fixed this alert message by 
    myProj.renderQueue.item(1).outputModule(1).file = File(DesktopPath+"\\1111\\"+"ltp"+"_"+myLayerName+"[#####].png");

    Hi Daniel Rivas,
    Regarding this issue, please kindly check the following
    -> Whether there are duplicated records in the import file. If there are two rows for the same name, please remove one of them and this file can then be imported successfully.
    -> LineNum should be filled correctly. It should be sequential number which begins from the quantity of existing contact persons. For example if there are 10 contact persons for a specific BP, and you want to add another 10 new contact persons, the LineNumber should start from 10 to 19.
    -> In DTW Wizard step 3, select the checkbox 'Add all Items into Schema if can't find corresponding item when updating' under Target Data tab. You can refer to Note 789315 for information on the functionality of this checkbox.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible top render an Adobe Interactive form as HTML instead of PDF?

    Currently a form developed as an Adobe interactive form is presented to the user as a PDF document (this is somewhat obvious!!!!)
    If, for whatever reason, we are unable to use Adobe reader on the front end PC is there a way to configure ADS to render the form as HTML and not PDF???  (In our case its because of a bug that requires the installation of Adobe 8 and this will take require extensive testing and roll out...)
    I think this might be possible if I read http://store1.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/forms_coldfusion.html " Form authors can develop a single form design that the Form Server Module can render in PDF or HTML format in a variety of browser environments."
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

  • AE watch folders: render comps via engines one by one

    When using watch folder rendering with rendering engines, I don't want to have engines collaborate to render a comp, but rather render them one by one. IE, if comp1 is already being rendered, engine2 picks up comp2 and renders it and so forth. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

    You can do either of the following:
    1. Set the output modules to render to movie file formats, such as QuickTime. Render engines can not collaborate on rendering to movie file formats, because only one application at a time can hold a file open for writing.
    2. Set the different render engines to watch different folders. In this case, the render engines can't render the same project (unless you duplicate it into each watched folder).

  • Possible to sending sms via mac mail?

    Is it possible to send a message to a group (from address book contacts) and choose whether it goes via SMS (to a cellphone) for some recipients or email to other recipients?

    In the USA, you can do so by addressing the email to {10digitPhoneNumber}@{cellCarrierDomainName}.
    Examples for this, for USA carriers, are given at http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/smsemail_cingular_nextel_sprint_tmobile_verizonvirgin. I would imagine that the same sort of technique would work in AUS. The trick is finding out the carriers' domain names.
    You might try a google search using search terms "email domain cellphone text message {list of names of cellular providers in AUS}" or have somebody text message your email address then it will show up in the "From:" in the email that you receive.
    So to send to a group consisting of some cellular SMS addresses and regular email addresses, the group would just be defined accordingly, with the SMS-style email addresses. Just remember that there may be a restriction on the number of characters that can be received per message by the cell phone SMS recipients.

  • Possible to disable selection via mouse on timeline?

    This is easily the most heinously annoying feature of Quicktime, far and away so.
    Why it's too much to assume that anybody who actually wants to use QuickTime's editing functionalities wouldn't be capable of executing, if not in fact preferring, the "i" and "o" keyboard shortcuts which manually place in and out points is beyond me.
    QuickTime's scrubbing frankly isn't particularly useful, and so I find myself clicking on the timeline frequently to jump around in a video. However, QuickTime is absolutely abominable when it comes to the mouse-slider interface, and impossibly unpredictable. It seems as though the indented functionality is such that any click inside the slider bar proper should simply move the playhead, whereas any click below the slider bay proper will move the nearest in/out point to the click position. However, due to some bug or perhaps simply poor design, it is very possible to cause the in/out points to move even when clicking only inside the slider bar proper. Perhaps this is due to proximity with other objects, possibly the playhead.
    I find this behavior highly annoying, and even worse, once there is a selection, QuickTime starts getting ideas about dropping the selection back on to the slider bar, and all kinds of interface "features" QuickTime simply isn't capable of without a proper timeline interface.
    So, my question is simple. Is there any way to modify QuickTime's configuration such that the only way to manipulate in/out points is using the keyboard shortcuts, completely disabling mouse input for this function?
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. It would be nice if QuickTime had a little more interface configurability. It would be reasonable, for example, for the default behavior to be such that, in order to manipulate the in/out points via mouse, they would have to be actually dragged from A to B. If a user wants more precise control than that there's no reason he can't locate the playhead and then use the keyboard shortcuts from there. Quicktime isn't FCP, and it doesn't have a proper timeline.
    IMO.

    I don't know how to do what you describe, but you must admit that what we have now is a vast improvement over what we used to have: prior to QuickTime 7.something (I forget where it appeared) the "I" and "O" keyboard shortcuts *didn't exist* and Avid-style "JKL" scrubbing did not work as it does now.
    So I completely agree with your assessment, but also recognize that we've come a long way since 6.5.3.
    What you could do, though, is to write yourself an editing tool in XCode. Just build yourself an alternate controller for QuickTime Player, and perhaps set it up so that you can type in a time and jump to it, or you can lock the in and out points. That would be fairly simple to do...when you lock the in or out point your program makes note of the timecode, and if the selection start or end point changes, it just changes it back to the noted value.
    I haven't tried anything like that lately, but it seems that it would be quite possible...

  • Is it possible to restrict printing via e-mail to one or a few domains?

    Regarding HP ePrinting
    Per default any emails will be printed, it is possible to restrict to certain e-mail addresses
    Is it possible to restrict print per e-mail to a domain or a few domains, to get a better security and a more simple administration?
    example:
    e-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected] ... etc.
    Rule in HP ePrint: *@mymaildomain.com

    Hi,
    It is possible to restrict printing for allowed senders only,
    You will have to add any email you would like to allow accessing, adding a bulk domain nake is not possible..
    ePrintCenter lets you control who can e-mail print jobs to your HP product from mobile or network connected devices. Follow these steps set your ePrint-enabled product to receive print jobs from allowed senders only.
    Log into your ePrintCenter account at HP ePrintCenter .
    On the ePrintCenter Printers page, click ePrint Settings . The ePrint Settings window opens.
    On the Allowed Senders tab, select Allowed Senders Only , and then click Save .
    Type an allowed sender's email address in the dialog box, and then click Add Email . The email address is added to the Allowed Email Addresses list.
    NOTE:You may specify up to 500 e-mail addresses allowed to send print jobs to your product. Your HP product ignores e-mail from addresses not on your allowed senders list.
    (Optional ). To send a confirmation email to the sender after the ePrint job prints successfully, select the check box next to the email address in the Email job status column.
    NOTE:To remove an email address from the Allowed Email Addresses list, click the X next to the email address in the Remove column.

  • Possible to render a UIView into a bitmap without attaching it to a window?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to capture the visual output of a UIView into a bitmap which I can save to a file. However, it seems that all the information I have about rendering a UIView requires it to be attached to an UIWindow to give it a backing surface.
    What I am trying to work out is a method (code!) to render the output of an arbitrary UIView into a bitmap. Once I have that bitmap I will use it in my app (e.g. save it).
    The approaches I have tried include:
    1) creating a CGBitmapContext, using UIGraphicsPushContext() and then calling the view's draw method:
    // 'view' is the UIView instance.
    CGRect bounds = [view bounds];
    CGColorSpaceRef cgctxcs = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    unsigned char *bufDataPtr = malloc(bounds.size.width * bounds.size.height * 4); // 4 Bpp for RGBA
    CGContextRef cgctx = CGBitmapContextCreate(bufDataPtr,
    bounds.size.width,
    bounds.size.height,
    8,
    bounds.size.width * 4,
    cgctxcs,
    kCGBitmapByteOrderDefault | kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast);
    UIGraphicsPushContext(cgctx);
    [view drawRect:bounds];
    UIGraphicsPopContext();
    but this does not appear to draw anything into the bitmap context.
    2) Get the view's layer, and call -renderInContext on it.
    [[view layer] renderInContext:cgctx]; // cgctx set up as above.
    Again, this produces nothing.
    At this stage I'm stuck. Anyone have any pointers?

    That sample gives a nice example of method 2 I already tried.
    There seems to be some reason why the layer backing the UIView I'm trying to capture can't be drawn. I'm wondering if this is because of something related to this note in the documentation for [CALayer renderInContext]:
    "Important: The Mac OS X v10.5 implementation of this method does not support the entire Core Animation composition model. QCCompositionLayer, CAOpenGLLayer, and QTMovieLayer layers are not rendered. Additionally, layers that use 3D transforms are not rendered, nor are layers that specify backgroundFilters, filters, compositingFilter, or a mask values. Future versions of Mac OS X may add support for rendering these layers and properties."
