Shortcut to disable multiprocessing?

[David Cabestany]

I got an email from him this morning, they will work on the CS6 update soon.

The script has its own UI, which is dockable to the AE interface, so I can turn MP off without having to jump to different dialog windows that alone will save me a couple seconds each time, and trust me, I switch back and forth a lot.

Anyway, as soon as it’s ready I’ll post the news here.

Thanks Dave.

I came across that on aescripts.com and was disappointed to learn of its non-compatibility with CS6. I use Keyboard Maestro a lot, so made a macro for this (took all of 2 minutes to create) which I’ve assigned to a function key so I can just toggle multiprocessing on & off with a single keypress. It happens so fast I actually had to put a 0.5 second delay in there to give me enough time to see the check mark appear/disappear from the prefs dialog box.

After Effects is pretty good normally when it comes to keyboard shortcuts – it has almost all my commonly used things “shortcutted”. But other apps such as Final Cut are not so shortcut-friendly so I have quite a few Keyboard Maestro macros to speed those up. Not that that’s relevant in an AE forum!
