After Effects in UNIX
Hey guys
I was just wondering if After Effects will work well on a Unix system? I’m about to receive 5 unix boxes and was thinking about turning them into render stations.
Cheers

there is no native after effects renderer for UNIX.

I have absolutely no idea if this would work, nor have I tried it, but maybe you could use Wine to run aerender.exe? Also someone on this thread
<https://www.short-media.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-5247.html>
claims they have gotten After Effects to run using ‘CrossOver Office’ (a Wine variant). Post on here again if you ever get AE running under Linux, that would be neat to hear about.

itll probably a fun experiment, especially if you have plenty of “free” time … but i bet you’d be better off buying the cheapest PCs you can find than trying to get that to work right
