Cloud-based rendering

A system comprising:

• a storage device;
• and
• a computing device connected to the storage device, the computing device comprising memory and a processor, the computing device configured to:
• receive from a control component of an image-editing application on a remote computing device, information indicative of rendering of a frame, wherein the control component is configured to interface between the image-editing application and the computing device,
• receive from the control component of the image-editing application, copies of files related to the rendering of the frame,
• store the files on the storage device, in accordance with a second organization that mirrors a first organization of the of the files in one or more folders on the remote computing device,
• detect, within at least one of the files, a first script identifying a file path associated with the first organization on the remote computing device,
• replacing the first script with a second script identifying a corresponding second file path associated with the second organization local to the computing device,
• render the frame from the files using a rendering application determined based on information associated with the files, and
• make the rendered frame available to the remote client application.

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 server, from a control component of an image-editing application on a remote computing device, information indicative of rendering of a frame, wherein the control component is configured to interface between the image-editing application and the server, and the server is associated with a cloud-based rendering system that provides rendering for the image-editing application;
• receiving, at the server from the control component of the image-editing application, copies of files related to the rendering of the frame;
• storing the files related to the rendering of the frame at storage locations local to the server, in accordance with a second organization that mirrors a first organization of the of the files in one or more folders on the remote computing device;
• detecting, within at least one of the files, a first script identifying a file path associated with the first organization on the remote computing device;
• replacing the first script with a second script identifying a corresponding second file path associated with the second organization local to the server;
• rendering the frame using a rendering application determined based on information associated with the files by accessing at least a portion of the files stored in accordance with the second organization at the storage locations local to the server;
• and
• making the rendered frame available to the image-editing application.
