Hi,

You can start a render from the command line and this will run in the background and still allow you to work in the UI. You will need to run the Apple Unix terminal program in Applications/Utilities. You could then just create a text file with each command line as a separate line in the script. To run it, just type sh scriptFileName.txt and it will run in the background. the command to run the renderer would be something like this...

/Applications/Adobe CS3 After Effects/aerender blah, blah blah

Obviously you will need to read up on the command line arguments and unix scripting if you want to get into anything complex.

I hope this helps.

Lars
