  • delay or time randomize – shape layer repeater

    Posted by Bart Stevens on May 1, 2014 at 6:09 pm

    I have a huge projection canvas, and I’ve filled it with a pattern where different shape layers fill different colors based on a a master expression for color and timing.
    I’ve had to copy this shape layer nearly 1200 times to get the array I want for the 8K canvas.
    The large amount of shape layers have really bogged AE down. This is a little strange because my RAM and CPU use look fairly normal (my cpu does spike a little).
    I’ve recreated the pattern with the repeater function in shape layers, and I have normal performance. Unfortunately with this solution, I lose the randomization factor that I like so much with the separate shape layers.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance
