# Multi-Threaded Render Setup for After Effects
Made for simple rendering without a need of extra hand work and setting
up your general rendering pipelines.
### `!!!Made for sequence rendering only!!!`
### Curently includes:
- Preset based rendering (Writing down your preset names in the config
file)
- Render Queue rendering (selecting Sequence render queue and Audio
render queue indexes)
- Adjustable paths
- Adjustable memory usage and Image caching per thread
### The rendering consists out of 3 steps:
- Sequence Rendering
- Audio Rendering
- Video Compiling (e.g. combining sequence w/wo audio)
**All of them are optional and can be run separately through different
batch files!**
# Setting up
### Requirements:
- [FFMPEG](http://ffmpeg.org/download.html)
- Aerender.exe - it's in your AE already.
**All the rendering parameters and variables can be changed in
`_config.bat`!**
### Preparing the setup's components:
1. Add FFMPEG's folder, where its executable at, into `PATH` Enviroment
variable in Windows.
- If not possible, then add a full path to the program's
executable(ffmpeg.exe) into the `_config.bat`'s variable called
`PATH_TO_FFMPEG`
2. Add Aerender's folder, where its executable at, into `PATH`
Enviroment variable in Windows.
- If not possible, then add a full path to the program's
executable(aerender.exe) into the config file's variable called
`PATH_TO_AERENDER`
3. Done.
# Params info
**All the rendering parameters and variables can be changed in
`_config.bat`!**
- It has comments about every parameter in the file, pointing out this
info in here just in case.
- Also, *do not add additional quotes or delete any from the examples in
the config file, also don't add additional spaces at the beginning,
and the end of `=` symbols, it's because BATCH sucks, but I used it so
non-programmers bois on Windows could use this thing.*

### `THREADS`
**Description**: for the amount of threads to be used for the rendering
a sequence.
- You can use Env variable `%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%` to set all of your
threads for rendering.
- You can perform some arithmetical operations on the
`%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%` variable e.g. division
`%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%/2` to use half of your available threads.

### `IMAGE_CACHE_PERCENT` | _PER RENDER INSTANCE!_
**Description**: Image caching in percentage **[0-100]**.
---
### `MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT` | _PER RENDER INSTANCE!_
**Description**: Max memory usage in percentage **[0-100]**.
