  Layer size and render speed

  Posted by Steve Morris on June 23, 2007 at 3:13 am

  I know if I use Grow Bounds, the render time goes way up.
  My question is:
  Are the render times affected the same if I use Grow bounds to increase the apparent layer size? Or, is it better to just start with a larger layer made in Photoshop and leave a lot of empty space around the object to allow for certain effects?

  Another related question.
  Does the size of a blank solid with no effects change the render times? I tried using Motion Tile to increase the size of the solid. I thought it would reduce render time. It did not seem to help.

  These are questions that can best be answered by making comparison tests yourself. 🙂
