  ram preview and rendering pausing

  Posted by Rikard Lassenius on December 6, 2007 at 11:40 am

  hi, i’m having some really annoying problems with ae cs3.

  whenever i hit the 0 for ram preview, ae saves my project. it’s kind of nice, but in this project i have some 300 small info animations for a tv show, so it takes 30 sec every single time.

  (can it be turned off? turning off auto-save does not do the thing.)

  then ae renders the first frame for 30 seconds, and the rest goes in no-time. then it stops to think at the last one. the whole process goes on forever.

  when rendering, ae stops at the last frames (0 seconds remaining) for a whopping 5 minutes. the actual rendering takes around 15 secs, but all in all (first saving the whole project – then rendering – then stopping at the last frame) it takes around 6’30.

  i have around 100 animations to render right now, and it’s not a lot of fun.

  i run ae 8.01.8 on a macpro 2 x 2.66 with 5 gig of ram
  i’ve tried different memory settings and hard drives but nothing seems to help.

  any ideas?

  turning off the multiprocessor feature seems to do the thing. thanks steve patterson.
