    Hello,
    I’ve some questions, could you help?
    Computer
    Mac Pro Mid 2103, 2×2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon (Mid 2013) 32GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Job
    1. Every day 2 or 3 1 hour length video in FcpX (10), 1-2 animation in After Effects
    I put intro+animation+video (.mov) in my project and render them by FcpX
    Now,
    I want to speed up espically my After Effects render time which is now 5-6 hours.
    what must i do?
    Adding 8×2 Ram, adding Graphic card and buying Samsung Pro 256 GB SSD.
    Could you please explain as, which of this upgrades speed up render time as what percent?

    ** My Graphic Card is Ati Radeon 5770, the cheapist way for me Ati Radeon 5870. Will this be enough or Nvidia Quadro -it is not suitable as price for me-?

    The GPU (graphics card) matters very little for After Effects. Spend your money on RAM and SSDs and a fast CPU before you even consider the GPU.
