Cloud-based rendering

Abstract

This document describes methods, systems and computer program products related to cloud-based rendering. The subject matter of this document is embodied in a s method that includes receiving, at a server from a remote client application, files related to rendering of a frame, and storing the files related to the rendering of the frame at storage locations local to the server. The files are stored in accordance with an organization of the files on a remote computing device associated with the remote client application. The method also includes rendering the frame from the files using a rendering application determined based on information associated with the files, and making the rendered frame available to the remote client application.

         20 . A method comprising:
 receiving, at a client application executing on a computing device from an image-editing application executing on the computing device, information that is associated with rendering of a frame;   determining, based on the information, locations of files associated with the rendering;   providing the files to a remote server; and   receiving from the remote server the frame as rendered from the files provided to the remote server.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , comprising polling the remote server for a communication. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 20 , comprising providing an additional file to the remote server based on determining, from a communication from the remote server, that the remote server is requesting the additional file. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 20  comprising providing a notification to the remote server that an additional file is not available on the computing device, based on determining, from a communication from the remote server, that the remote server is requesting the additional file. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 20  comprising providing to the remote server, information associated with the locations of the files on the computing device. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21  wherein the communication indicates that the frame, as rendered, is available for download to the computing device. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 21  wherein the communication provides information on a status of the rendering. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 20  comprising providing to the remote server, information associated with the image-editing application on the computing device.

         46 . A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device encoded with instructions, which upon execution by one or more processors, causes operations comprising:
 receiving, at a client application executing on a computing device from an image-editing application executing on the computing device, information that is associated with rendering of a frame;   determining, based on the information, locations of files associated with the rendering;   providing the files to a remote server; and   receiving from the remote server the frame as rendered from the files provided to the remote server.   
     
     
         47 . The computer program product of  claim 46  comprising instructions for polling the remote server for a communication. 
     
     
         48 . The computer program product of  claim 46  comprising instructions for providing an additional file to the remote server based on determining, from a communication from the remote server, that the remote server is requesting the additional file. 
     
     
         49 . The computer program product of  claim 48  comprising instructions for providing to the remote server, information associated with the locations of the files on the computing device. 
     
     
         50 . The computer program product of  claim 48  comprising instructions for providing to the remote server, information associated with the image-editing application on the computing device.
