Stuck on “rendering 2 frames” for ages
We’ve got MP turned on. Keeps getting stuck on “rendering 2 frames” for ages…then finally ploughs through the animation.
The Mac Pro used to do this, but since we got a thunderbolt SSD, it is better. Funny thing is, the PC has two internal SSDs and one is solely for AE renders!
Any ideas?

Ruled out all apart from the top one (happens no matter the project or effects).
What do you mean by bad settings?

16 core machine. Using 16 cores for AE on 4GB each. 16 virtual cores reserved for other applications and 10gig of RAM I believe. Can’t check as rendering, but it’s very similar if not that.

Olly, your cache may be full. Empty or purge your cache and see if this helps. Please report back.

Thanks, but I wish it was that simple. We tried this first.

If you open the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and watch it while you start the Ae render, what do you see? I’d be particularly interested in the Processes tab (how many instances of AfterFX.exe, how much RAM & CPU usage).
I’d also like to see the Resource Monitor’s Disk tab. (Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, Performance tab, Resource Monitor button).

Sounds similar to my glitch: I’ve got a main comp in which I’m assembling sections of an animation. I WAS sending each of those sub-comps to render individually, but AE recently started taking forever to load/render them. BUT when I render them out from the main comp, it seems to work fine. Not ideal, but if it gets ya through the job…

Took a couple of screen grabs finally:
Stuck on 2 frames for 5 minutes:
After it started:
Any idea?
