The Professional edition of After Effects provides the Watch Folder feature and the command- line renderer ‘aerender’, which speed up the rendering process on a network. If you have a full licensed copy of the Professional edition, you can set it up to work with render-only versions of After Effects to take advantage of these features. Your license entitles you to install as many copies of the render engine as you want on your network, as long as one licensed copy of the Professional edition is installed on that network.

Maya Camera Import t+ E& V# X& A$ L4 S. B
In addition to the features described in the documentation, the Maya Camera Import feature will also import "locator" nodes. These are useful for tracking objects from your Maya scene as it is translated into After Effects. After Effects creates a Null layer with the relevant transformations applied if a Maya locator node's name contains the word "Null", "NULL", or "null". Avoid parenting locator nodes to each other in Maya -- parent the locator nodes to geometry instead. Note that "World" or "Underworld" coordinates in the LocatorShape are not observed. Instead, use a transform node to place them.8 O* p6 u' a: @5 L' @. F
Sometimes Maya (.ma) camera import may take a while if the project is complex (for example, if there are many keyframes to import). To speed up Maya camera import, include just camera data in the Maya (.ma) file. Note that After Effects does not read 3-node cameras.% Q' d* V0 ~1 K7 {- f# g
