question regarding two pass encoding

Hi everyone,

does anybody know whether the whole AE project has to be rendered two times when I use two pass encoding in ME? If not, how does it work with only one rendering pass?

    ANY time you use two-pass encoding, AE renders twice.  Unless you're doing something weird like a two-hour-long, effects-laden  comp, it's not that big a deal.

    But let's say you went with the weird option.  What do you do?  You render ONCE -- to a lossless codec.  Then you use Adobe Media encoder on that lossless file to compress it in the media container & codec for delivery.  You can do other stuff while AME does its work.
