Urgent need: Prolonged Export of After Effects Motion Graphics
Hi, my name is Andy Diesel and I am a videographer.
Currently, I’m exporting a simple motion-graphic animation made up of layers that either use ‘generate a stroke’ effects or changing the opacity for separate masks. The only elements I can assume would have an impact is that I’m working from an external hard drive and that each of the 3 static layers is 29074 × 16355px in dimension, though they’ve been compressed and range in sizes under 1.7MB.
Up until now it has been exporting for 16 hours and has only exported a few seconds of the 17-minute video clip.
Tech specs:
- MacBook Pro M1 (less than a year old)
- 144.96 GB available on Macintosh HD
- External 1 TB with 43.27 GB available
- Adobe After effects 2022
- Adobe Media Encoder 2022
Would really appreciate further input and if you have any questions please let me know?

Has to be the 3 large static layers. You can check this by AE 2022 by clicking the Frame Render time in the bottom left of your comp timeline. You might want to look at finding an online render farm. I use it for C4D renders—single frames on my system might take 12 minutes and render farm places get me a 300 frame render finished in an hour.
