Developer: VDODNA.com

Download Free

Free background renderer for After Effects that renders locally or across a network while you keep working.

What Render Brain does

Render Brain moves After Effects renders out of your way. The free version works in the background on your own computer so you can continue editing, and the Pro version turns other machines into render nodes with single-click network setup.

Mac and Windows computers can render together, and Multi-Frame Render spreads a heavy comp across several machines while Render Queue Split handles multiple compositions at once. You get render control, live monitoring and format conversions to H.264, ProRes, MXF and more. It uses the After Effects render engine rather than Media Encoder and integrates with Versions Pro-Mo and Pro-Sheets.

Key features

  • Free background rendering
