RenderHogs is tagged to and from layers and effects to outline the workflow of heavy compositions within After Effects. Activate or deactivate all tagged elements with a single click and keep the responsiveness during editing right where it should be. Only the most critical layers make it through to rendering.

Dave Jacobson – RenderHogs Features

• Tagging System: Identify and tag parts of the layer and effects that hog the system. The substitutes are a lot easier to manage.
• Value Adjustment: Enable and disable features on a hog layer without entirely switching on properties. This allows for some effects on the hog layer while others are switched off.
• Integration: Works seamlessly with other tools like QueueMaster for automatic rendering.
• Customization: Modify tag characters, scope settings, and other configuration elements to suit your practice.
• Efficiency: Reduce the project’s responsiveness by disabling the heavy layers during editing work.
