Does anyone have any tips when working at 1920×1080 in AE?
hi there
basically im doing an animation for a film, but they require it to be delivered at 1920×1080, which means AE is running so much slower, and its becoming quite frustrating!
Does anyone have any tips on how best to work in this situation? Ive got 2 gig ram and a decent processor….the only thing i was considering was a new gfx card as my current one has no opengl support or anything. does it make a lot of difference if i get say a 512mb gfx card?
thanks in advance!

Proxies would be the best bet. Remember you can make a proxy from a precomp too. So if you have design elements that aren’t changing much I would consider this.
Also be sure to work at half res and preview by skipping 1 frame.
Open GL wont help too much at HD res…
Good Luck,

hi dave, thanks for your help, so would you say 4gb ram would make much difference from 2gb?

It would…depending on how much you were going to spend on GFX card (anything about mid-range is a bit of a waste in AE) double your RAM and maybe try get more cores if you’re running Nucleo or CS3.
Don’t forget, full res HD is almost 4 times as much information to process than SD!

hey dave, wow those are some scary stats!
theyve offered to get me a separate external hard drive for the project, do u think that could help much? ive got a pci firewire card, but dont think it has firewire 800.
cheers
