I hope you're rendering Big Brother

I doubt there aren't solutions already implemented against this in other high-budget firms. They probably use editing "terminals", and then send the work to a rendering farm.

TjB i just laughed loudly on the bus and got weird looks. thanks very much! >:(

There are dedicated rendering machines but they're always being used by the editors. Also, with editing you can set a rough cut rendering then start tweaking while it's going. With After Effects you kinda need to see the render before you can tweak. It also requires regular RAM previews which take a looong time in 4:4:4 colour space.

Plus, if we started using dedicated rendering machines, we couldn't slack off.

Well, as Duke says, "Get back to work you slacker!"

Welcome to office jobs that involve compiling / rendering!

I usually get paid to browse reddit because my code is compiling. Or so I say.

I spend most of my time in the hospital browsing TWHL and watching YouTube.

I can do whatever I want until the emergency room pages me.

Probably the one downside to a family business, we don't have one person who gets paid to clean, one who gets paid to take inventory, unpack, customer service, etc etc. There is ALWAYS more work to do.

Web design yields instant results. I am jealous.

Yeah, my code compiles in about 10 seconds, but that doesn't stop me from browsing reddit and TWHL!

Just buy some old pc's/servers say that they are new, compile/render on them, increase slack time.
