This time I can work with project on computer1 using /net/computer1 (autofs)
for accessing video files. Then I create script for delayed rendering of
project. I boot the computer2 and run script from it, the script starts
rendering using the same /net/computer1/FILES. It helps me to work on other
project, while the first is rendering. It is the simpliest example of this
approach.
