Product Overview
Shake 4
Distributed QuickTime rendering
Using Apple Qmaster, Shake 4 projects can distribute the rendering of a single
QuickTime File Out Node. Apple Qmaster splits the fi le up for rendering and stitches
it back together automatically, just as if the render had been executed on a single
machine.
Job dependencies
Some rendering jobs depend on the results of previously rendered jobs being avail-
able. In many cases, users have to submit a job, wait for its successful completion, and
then submit the dependent job. The ability to serialize jobs in Apple Qmaster allows
users to specify which jobs should happen fi rst. The Apple Qmaster Job Controller
then takes care of proper execution timing.
