    Install a submission menu into After Effects by opening the Wrangler View UI and choosing "Install AeRender (AppFinder)" as shown here. It's preferable to choose the first AE Render entry, which will automatically find the installed location of After Effects on each Worker. However, this requires Python be installed on the Workers.

    If Python is not installed on the Workers, and you don't wish to install it, choose the second entry, "Aftereffects (aerender)".

    With a scene loaded in After effects select "QubeAppFinder_Submit_RenderQueue.jsx"

    File > Scripts > QubeAppFinder_Submit_RenderQueue.jsx

    If this is the first time you have done this, you will be presented with a dialog box that wants to know where to find the Wrangler View executable:


     Fill this out appropriately:

    • Mac: /Applications/pfx/qube/qube.app
    • PC: C:\Program Files (x86)\pfx\qube\bin\qube.exe

    This will present a pre filled submission UI:
