GridIron Nucleo Pro is a follow up to GridIron's highly popular Nucleo,
which allows After Effects to fully utilize all CPU's in a multi-CPU or
multi-core workstation when generating previews and renders. GridIron's
Nucleo Pro focuses on greatly optimizing how an artist uses After
Effects. Nucleo Pro gives users the ultimate in optimized workflow by
introducing the following:
  • Constant speculative background preview and render
  • Commit-to-disk rendering for specific layers
  • Background Render Queue for the rendering of multiple projects and compositions
  • Project Data Management
Ben Piercey, Product Manager for Nucleo Pro at GridIron Software said,
"Nucleo Pro dramatically enhances the way people can interact with and
use Adobe After Effects. GridIron's experience in parallel computing and
our intimate knowledge of After Effects has allowed us to bring the true
power of desktop multi-core computers to bear on Renders and Previews.
This applies to both performance and workflow, and Nucleo Pro gives you
both."
