<p>I use a macbook air (1,7Ghz i7, 8gb RAM) to edit my Premiere projects. Rendering blows CPU to the max. I also have a MacMini fileserver (2,6Ghz i5, 8gb RAM) which could be used for rendering jobs.</p>

<p>Is it possible to allocate rendering jobs from Premiere Pro CC on my Macbook Air to the MacMini?</p>

# How to render on another computer using Adobe Media Encoder CC

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-08-06)

I use a macbook air (1,7Ghz i7, 8gb RAM) to edit my Premiere projects. Rendering blows CPU to the max. I also have a MacMini fileserver (2,6Ghz i5, 8gb RAM) which could be used for rendering jobs.

Is it possible to allocate rendering jobs from Premiere Pro CC on my Macbook Air to the MacMini?
