Render que set-up for a large amount of videos. Ray tracing required.
Dear After Effects legends,
I have been working on a project for a little while but I’ve run into a problem I am not sure how overcome regarding rendering a large collection of videos.
Firstly, I’ve come up with a template where a logo is created generated as a 3d object (extruded vector) then lights, shadows and cameras are applied. There is a master comp for the logo and four other comps for different camera angles (shot 1, shot 2 etc).
The idea is to set up a render que for all four comps for logo A, then change to logo B and send the 4 comps to the que again, then change to logo C and so on.
The problem is I need to have ray tracing set to 12-16 in order for the shadows to not look pixelated. If I send everything to Adobe Media Encoder, it all queues up perfectly but the render is so noisy it is unusable. If I use the render que in After Effects the results are perfect but whatever logo was last in the Master comp will be what is rendered into every video. I could render the four comps, then change the logo and render again but this will take a long time. I’m looking for a solution I can set up once and leave it running for a few days over a weekend.
Thanks for any help can offer.

I’d set up each of the four logo options and save them as four separate projects.
Then I’d create a new project, import all four logo option projects, queue up all the render comps, and let her rip.
