Rendering on a network using a watch folder (Pro only)

The Professional edition provides the Watch Folder feature, which speeds up the rendering process on a network. If you have a full licensed copy of the Professional edition, you can set it up to work with render-only versions of After Effects. Your license entitles you to install as many copies of the render engine as you want on your network, as long as one licensed copy of the Professional edition is installed on that network.
