Multiple instances does not working parallel using Scripting on Windows Server

Hi all,

i am uploading after effects template to my site, user came and upload his desired contents.

i update the template using scripting with user's contents and then render video so user get video with his uploaded text/images etc.

its working perfectly when i update a single template at a time but when multiple users come at the same time then they need multiple instances of after effects

so i open multiple instances of after effects by using "-m" with after effects shortcut

after looking at windows task manager there are both instances but the problem is

only once instance continue and the second one stop, after completion of first instance the second one still in pause status

i need 2,3 4 or whatever instances to work parallel without pause/stop

i am using windows server 2008 R2 with XAMP installed

Correct answer Mylenium

That's a totally unsupported configuration in the first place and you will be hard pressed to find anyone who can help you. Presumably you need to create separate shortcuts/ batch files and run them in separate instance contexts. AE itself will always detect running instances and re-use them.

Thanks for reply

You mean to create separate shortcut for each instance to work independently

so before i run the script to change my AE template, i have to create a new AE shortcut which will open a new independent instance of AE ?
