Hi all!
I'm currently facing a pretty serious http://dict.leo.org/ende/index_de.html#/search=serious&searchLoc=0&resultOrder=basic&multi wordShowSingle=onproblem with "AErender" command line tool. I've quit a lot of projects which should be rendered via command line. Using AERenderEninge and Watch-Folders isn't a option for this job. I've done quit a lot of testing and optimizing on my projects and use the multiprocessing feature which in this case decreases rendering dramatically.
Using the same machine set-up in AE and AERenderEngine with multiprocessing I get constantly the same, fast results. But as soon as I use "aerender.exe" with command line option -mp render times increase by a least two times rendering exactly the same scene.
I tried several different settings but none of them seam to decrease rendering times to something compare able directly from within After Effects or AE Render Engine. Using the -reuse option besides a running AE Render Engine increases rendering times too no matter which option I use (and it doesn't make sense to have a UI-based AE running side by side with aerender).
I'm using aerender version 11.0.4x2 on Windows 7. Command line options I've tried: -mp, -mem_usage, -reuse. Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
