Render While You Work
Live Design: "As theatrical projections shift from film to digital, it has become increasingly easier and more affordable to bring an editing suite into the theatre (especially considering that an editing system these days can consist of a laptop computer and Final Cut Pro or After Effects)."

Genius. After using both of these programs I know that a render was also known as dinner or a coffee break. To be able to continue work and also hand off the rendering to something that almost feels like an assistant is spectacular. I just hope that the interface works well!
Oh my god, you can finally get a plug-in to do this in After Effects? That's nice, though I don't know why you would be using After Effects for editing...it is a SPECIAL EFFECTS program (hence the Effects in the name). Though that's pretty expensive...Although I'm pretty biased in this case. As I hate Final Cut because it's completely retarded (just a copy of Adobe's editing program Premiere). Especially seeing as Sony's Vegas will render things automatically just like this is describing automatically for less than Final Cut (not to mention it's much simpler to do just about anything because Apple only knows how to make things look pretty). But I don't mean to rag on first party software from Apple...oh and After Effects is solid, if your just using it for video effects.
