Does anyone know if this will work, or do I need FC Server?

Many thanks in advance!
 
Hello, thanks for the reply

I have a spare copy of FC studio and I would like to use an upcoming server as a render node if it is possible.
 
the only network rendering is done with Compressor and I believe you don't need to install FCS on the node, just Qmaster.

FCP doesn't support network rendering.
 
Thanks very much for the info

So no distributed rendering with FCP - that's a shame but at least it will speed up the last stage + if qmaster works without an extra license, that means there is still a spare copy of FCS for another workstation.

Out of interest, does it only affect the FCP timeline? Can the export and share functions be distributed?
