Thanks all. I'll give that a try @Bentraje. Another related, sorta equivalent feature is the 'auto computer shutdown on complete' within Adobe Media Encoder... but not C4d it seems! I'm guessing there's not a reliable way to get AME to use the c4d render location as a 'watch' folder and then shut down when it no longer updates. But we can dream.

Hi all, I'm on a laptop and obviously dislike it when windows sleeps/powers off causing my renders to stall, overnight for instance. So I change my windows settings to not power down or sleep, but am worried I'm nackering my hardware and the planet by doing so. Is there a way I can make C4d (or after effects, for that matter) keep Windows 'active' so that it'll go to sleep AFTER the render completes, but not before? Surely there's a simple solution? Pardon me if I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance, Stuggz
