Render Farm (Premiere Pro + Davinci Resolve)

[theflyingteapot]

I have been tasked with setting up a render farm for a video production client. The use some Premiere pro and some Davinci resolve for their projects. I really don't do any video production myself, my manager pointed me towards Qube! from FXPipeline. I have that installed but I really don't know where to go from there and would like a few more options to present to this client. So any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

The client uses MacOS for everything.

 

Thanks

to my knowledge adobe products only render on single machine at a time , unless you're rendering effects which could be split into several projects and machines but ultimately the final video is rendered on one machine.

idk maybe someone could enlighten me on this as well if it's different now

Disclaimer: All of my information is self learned, and there may be a better way to do this, but as far as the knowledge I have, this is what I would do. 

 

So split their production house virtually into two groups: Resolve editors and Premiere editors, as Resolve supports render servers through it's own software, and Premiere through Adobe software.

(EposVox's video on how to set up the render server: 

) 

 

As for adobe, I know After Effects supports Network rendering really well, Premiere's support is a little more hardware picky, but Wendell from Level1 has covered it very well: 

Watching both of these 2 part videos should give you a good idea of where to start.
