Put the disk cache on the fastest disk with the fastest connection; that is typically your internal drive.

> I find that if I generate a series of comps in AE (without rendering) and then drag them all to the AME queue, that I complete the entire render phase more quickly than if I first rendered to an uncompressed file in AE and then re-encode with AME.
Then you’re probably not using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing.
Documentation on that feature is in After Effects Help:

> If AE is called, then why wouldn’t AE use it’s typical resourcing (i.e. multi-thread) to render?
Because that would defeat the purpose of using AME as a background rendering application.
When you use Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, you are telling After Effects to start many instances of itself in the background to render frames. This will take over your machine, and that is a good thing. You do _not_ want that to happen when you are rendering something in the background and continuing work on another composition, which is the workflow that rendering directly through AME is intended for.

The problem is that the premultiplied channels are not being interpreted correctly _in FCP_.
In your third screenshot, it shows that you have the output module set to export premultiplied channels. That’s fine, as long as you interpret the channels in FCP correctly.
Or, you could change the After Effects output module settings to export straight channels.

AME is faster at the encoding phase; the main (“headed”) After Effects is faster at the rendering phase.
That’s why I render a losslessly encoded master from After Effects to an AME watch folder and use AME to grab those master files and transcode them into various compressed delivery formats.

What are you expecting the Curves effect to do to a black and white image?

What version of After Effects? What operating system?
Show screenshots of the Timeline panel and Effect Controls panel with relevant properties exposed.
If possible, upload the project to a file-sharing site and provide the link.

You didn’t attach any screenshots.
It sounds like you are working with premultiplied channels, but Final Cut Pro isn’t interpreting the image as having premultiplied channels.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, see this page.
