Hello Kevin,

Thanks for your answer.

Multiprocessing was off. I tried it again to be sure.

Could it be some other preference setting? Like:
– ‘Disk cache enabling’ (it’s on: size 50000 -on a MP Quad, 16GbRam, AtiRadeon 4870, and plenty space)
– Conformed Media cache: it is on a different disk than my bootdrive and software storage (…/AppSupport/Common/).
– Cache: also on a different disk than my bootdrive and software storage (…/Lib/caches/Adobe/AE CS4.

You talk about a temporary project version that can ‘serve’ out to other cpu’s for rendering.
In an earlier thread (https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/202/888452) i mentioned a problem with AE when it started up. AE told me about 20 times in a popup that it could not connect to my server ‘MacBookPro’. This still happens unless i connect my Laptop to my MacPro.

Does it sound that these 2 problems are related to each other?

Best,
Jochum

Hello Dave,

Thank you for your reply.

I fixed the network by just turning on the MBP; no popups occurred. But it would be too silly to turn on 2 computers to make AE work normally on my MP.
Somehow AE want’s this network of 2 mac’s, but it does not make sense to me. Why? Is it normal AE does look for this network (for rendering perhaps)? Can it be turned off in preferences of AE?
