So after a night’s rest, i’ve restarted the rendering process on both computers.

This time it’s remote comp,B, is started first, to render as on a multi machine sequence. Then main comp,A, is started.

So far i’ve managed to repeat the same problem, but i can restart the renders on B, if i’m seated at the machine. I think perhaps the real reason behind all these faults is the way A does a file lock or temp file for the photoshop files. This causes B to read it as an invalid file and stop rendering.

yes. 🙁

Righto just solved the problem

The output to must be set to the same output folder that is specified during the collect files dialog.

HTH others out there trying this out.

A thing that throws me off is the estimated render times on the initial machine. It never seems to be lower even when i use a multi machine setup. Shouldn’t the speed gains be up to half or lower and the estimated times be less if i use network rendering?

hey thanks! That’s a great tip.
