Linux(Ubuntu) encoder

[piemadd]

I need an encoder that is able to render Adobe After Effects files and then export it to a NAS in my house. Is there an OS just fo this, or a program in ubuntu/another form of Linux?

I'm pretty sure the After Effects project file format is proprietary and can only be opened by After Effects, which doesn't run on Linux. Rendered video transcoding can be done with ffmpeg.

I know. Should I just do a Gm of windows and then have media encoder running on that?

Depends how compute intensive the rendering is. A VM isn't going to have GPU acceleration ( assuming you don't have a spare one to pass to it and a CPU with the extensions necessary for that).

Or just install windows and go unregistered and hope it doesn't get TOO angry
