  Memory Settings

  I am wondering what the most proper memory settings would be. Any thing would help

  generally speaking, the default ram allocation and cache settings are probably the best unless you are seeing specific problems like image buffer errors…

  but it would help to know more about your system…. version of ae, which os, how many processors/cores you have, how much ram and if you have an external drive for media storage…

  After much testing my team and I have our machines as follows:

  1. MacPro Quad Core (2 x 3.2GHz Xeon)
  2.16Gb RAM
  3.After Effects CS3 with multi-processing switched on
  4.Throttle installed and processes set to ‘6’ (https://aescripts.com/throttle-12/#more-179)
  5.After Effects memory set to 90%
  6.After Effects disk cache enabled and set to 2000Mb

  Please bare in mind that the above machine is rendering to a Xan but we have found this to render the most efficiantly.

  Hope this helps,
