4 CPUs – Render Never Uses 100%
Hi All,
I have an HP with two dual core CPUs.
When I am rendering, I see that After Effects does use all four CPUs, but the usage hangs out around 25% to 50%.How can I get 100% usage out of After Effects? I mean that is why I got the dual cores.

You need to either be running
1.) AFX7 with nucleo/nucleo pro
2.) AECS3 with multiprocessing enabled in your prefs
3.) AECS3 with nucleo/nucleo proIf you’re doing it in aecs3 you’re going to need around 8 gigs of ram. Nucleo doesn’t care that much though, you could throw 4 gigs at it and it’ll work just fine. I’d recommend raid striping some drives together too, I just did that on my work station and it helps with the multiprocessing write speeds.
Its not just about the processors, you must have a balanced machine — your processors can write so much more so much faster, you’ll need a snappier drive and more RAM to feed the cores.
