What It Does
TVPixel Render Only is an add-on license for rendering TVPixel effects on headless render machines through After Effects’ command line renderer. This lets you distribute rendering across render farms or dedicated render nodes without needing the full plugin license on every machine.
You must own at least one full TVPixel license to purchase render-only licenses. The main TVPixel plugin simulates RGB pixels from real TV and LCD screens, turning footage into pixelated displays.
Key Features
Command line renderer support. Works specifically with After Effects’ headless rendering mode, designed for automated render pipelines and farm setups.
Cost-effective scaling. At $9.99 per render machine versus $39.99 for full licenses, this pricing model makes sense for studios running multiple render nodes.
Part of Rowbyte’s ecosystem. Similar render-only licenses exist for other Rowbyte plugins like Bad TV ($9.99) and Aura ($25.00), letting you build a consistent render farm setup.
Who It’s For
Useful for studios and freelancers running render farms or distributed rendering setups. If you’re rendering locally on a single workstation, you don’t need this, the full license covers that use case.
Pricing
$9.99 one-time purchase per render machine. Requires owning at least one full TVPixel license ($39.99). Floating licenses are available as a separate option.
