PixelAgent

PixelAgent is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that connects your render manager (Deadline, Smedge) to the PixelTime app. It keeps your render farm with you at all times and lets you track job progress. PixelAgent runs on your master server and synchronizes jobs and engines. To protect sensitive data, PixelAgent creates its own sync files that contain only the information PixelTime needs—without affecting your original files or your pipeline. Highlights • Support for Deadline and Smedge • Automatic creation and transfer of jobs and engines • Transfer window with live sync status • Connection to the PixelTime app via Farm ID Ideal for anyone working with a render manager. Installation & Connection • Copy the Farm ID from the PixelAgent menu • In the PixelTime app, paste the Farm ID in the Farm tab and create the farm • The first sync can take a while depending on how many jobs and engines you have
