After effects working slowly

vitor hugop59356062 Mar 14, 2017 6:31 PM

Hello guys.

I recently bought a new PC but my after effects is working quite slow, it takes a while to render the files. My system is:

Processor: i7 - 6800K (3.60 GHz)

Ram: 32 gb 4x8 DDR4 2666MHZ

Graphics card: EVGA GTX 1070

MB: ASUS X-99 Deluxe

Would anybody know what may be causing it to work slow? I thought some of the memory sticks might not be working but I don't think it's the cause... If somebody could give a help or let me know if I should improve my system please let me know.

I am using it for a animation but I've done just 10 seconds so far.

Thank you very much

Vitor Hugo

All depends on how complicated (labor intensive) is your project. AE is a beast that can eat as much as you will give it to it, But please check:
- how much ram AE see your AE(edit/preferences/memory)\
- do you have any big images/photos used inyour project
- when you are rendering check how much ram/procesor is being used- do you use ray tracing for any 3D text/layers
- do you use any large not compressed video files (and for example have those files on the same hdd that you are rendering/exporting to)
- do you use add to render queue or add to AME render queue for rendering

And the most importtant question - what do you mean buy saying slow - i mean ... how complicated is your project and how much it takes to render?

Thank you for the reply.

I'm not using any image or video, just shapes. It's going slow when I press to preview and it renders the part selected... I'm waiting around 2 minutes to preview 5 seconds of the clip.
I'll check if it is using the ram at its fullest.

Is your composition set to anything other than Classic Renderer?
