  Network Render – Watch Folder

  Posted by Jonathan Pitzer on January 19, 2006 at 5:32 pm

  I am trying to use the Multi-Machine render feature and I have collected the files to one place. However, when I watch the folder, it just says that there is no render control file in folder after it counts down. What am I doing wrong?

  use the right setting for multiple render and then create a *.txt file called “your_project_name”_RCF.txt

  and paste this text;

  After Effects 6.5v1 Render Control File
  max_machines=5
  num_machines=0
  init=0
  html_init=0
  html_name=””

  after that relanch your watch folder

  Make sure you’re rendering as an image sequence with “Skip existing files” selected in render settings. Also make sure “Enable Watch Folder” is selected & “Max Number of Machines” is correct in the Collect Files dialog box. These are some of the usual culprits.
